"...and then she ran away from both of us," InuYasha mumbled, embarrassment and shame tinting his cheeks cherry red. The eighteen-year-old sighed into his hands, exhausted and feeling more like eight-years-old sitting where he was with his figurative tail between his legs as he and his two best friends brainstormed ways to fix yet another messed up situation he (and his mouth!) got himself into. To his chagrin, Sango burst out laughing. Miroku at least was considerate enough to conceal his chuckles in a cough, but Sango went so far as to point at him and choke out between giggles, "You're hopeless, InuYasha!" Keh. As if he needed her to te

Warnings: Language, Violence, Police Brutality. 1. Promises Prompt: Blossom "You're amazing," Kagome whispered, making his cheeks blossom in a rare smile. She had a way of doing that to him. Her innocently spoken, but sincerely meant words made him feel fiercely pleased with himself and his abilities. ...not that InuYasha Taisho, one of the best detectives in Tokyo, lacked confidence. The man proved skill, and the media praised him with every case he famously closed. What made Kagome special was her witnessing his successes. Because of the irregular hours he kept at work, girlfriends willing to stick with him were rare. Wrapping his arms

1. Save Me Prompt: Believe "You're all going to die," Naraku announced, adjusting the beanie on his head with a satisfied smirk. Like the madman he was, he sat cross-legged on the floor of the train, eyeing all sixteen of his hostages with delight obvious in his red-brown eyes. "It's just a matter of when," he tacked on, twirling a tentacle over his knee. "For now, I'll let the outside world think you can be saved." "Great," a passenger muttered, sighing deeply into his hands. `As if riding this metal contraption to work everyday isn't vexing enough.'  It just had to get hijacked. Something told him Naraku's threats were mostly empty, and

But Be Careful What You Wish For { 23 June 2010 } Written for Eternal Destiny. Prompt: "Suffering." WARNING: Character Death. "Ye can't keep doing this," Kaede cautioned, watching with apprehension in her single blue eye as InuYasha squeezed gently on the Shikon jewel. In his hands, the orb burst into tiny, glittering lights that like fire-bugs all swarmed for Kagome, breathing life into the still-warm girl. The elder miko watched him sigh, noting the bags under his eyes and his graying pallor. She also noticed, somewhat heavy-hearted, that no matter how many times he revived Kagome, the relief and joy at seeing her breathe one more time a

Make A Wish { 23 June 2010 } Written for Eternal Destiny. Prompt: "Wet." WARNING: Character Death. His breath hitched when her eyelashes fluttered. Relief washed over him as color flooded back into her cheeks. He'd been so scared, thinking he'd lost her again, but when she spluttered and choked up the swallowed water, InuYasha allowed himself a smile. "You idiot!" The slap came as a surprise, wiping the smirk off his face just as suddenly as it spread. He gazed confusedly at Kagome, one hand gingerly touching his cheek. For a human—and a human who had nearly brushed with death at that—she hit pretty hard. The miko balled her h

When All Else Fails { 15 June 2010 } Written for Eternal Destiny. Prompt: "Desperate." WARNING: Character Death. "Kagome, wake up," he whispered. When the miko who lay parallel in his arms refused to wake, he gave her a little shake, knowing all the while—as the desperate often did—that that, and nothing else he'd try would work. Her skin was too pale, her body too limp and fragile. Though she wasn't quite dead, her wispy breathing told him that in a few moments she would be and desperately, InuYasha wanted to cling by the points of his nails to those few seconds Kagome had left by him. Too late, the melody is over The joke se
