If you'd like to add me to your flist (or are just being nosy ;) ) then here's my basic profile:

( A (Fairly) Short History of Me: No, it really is as exciting as it sounds... )

If you’d just like to keep up with my art and/or writing then feel free to friend this journal without leaving a post here.

If we haven’t talked much then I’d like to know where you know me from (i.e communities or other people’s journals). Please don’t feel offended if I don’t friend you back right away; I’m quite shy so I tend not to friend people unless I already know them fairly well.

Chapter preview:

Tsubaki's face blanched. She turned away from Kagome before she could meet her eyes. She set her glare on Naraku.

"You... " Tsubaki jabbed her finger towards his chest. "You promised me-"

"Fear not Tsubaki. The guards will see you come to no harm." Naraku's smile sharpened.

"No harm?" Tsubaki's hand shook with fury. "Have you forgotten-"

"Oh, I remember it all too well." Naraku sighed. "If only you'd shown a little more restraint. You'd have saved us all a good deal of trouble."

Chapter preview:

Inuyasha bristled. Of course this idiot wouldn't back down. He fixed the would-be warrior with his hardest glare.

"Hey, I didn't-"

"Liar!" the boy seethed. "You're the one who-"

"Please, young man." Mushin held up his palms. "There's been more than enough violence for one night. You'd best stand aside."

Chapter preview:

They reached the gates by moonrise. Most of the villagers had already gone back to their huts. Only a few idle guards remained on the ramparts. The one stationed at the nearest watchtower was busy staring out to sea. That didn't make Inuyasha's stomach sit any easier. Kagome may as well be on the other side of the world by now. The stillness was worse than any storm...

Chapter preview:

Kagome's slumber was stirred by the whispering wind. She opened her eyes and found herself beneath the Goshinboku's canopy. A small red fox peered over her. She started and backed away...

Chapter preview:

Kagome woke to a sky like the depths of the ocean. The Goshinboku's canopy spread above her. Its branches were completely bare. She stared open-mouthed at the looming clouds. Not a single star shone back.

She scanned the clearing for any signs of life. It was as still as a held breath. She bit back her nerves and risked a whisper...

Chapter preview:

Amaruq loomed over them like a storm about to break. Twin rings of water swirled around him. He held his hands poised. His eyes were sharp as lightning.

"Miroku." His voice was taut with fury. The rings quivered as he spoke. "What is the meaning of this?"

I've been poking at some of my Shichinintai/JaBan drawerfic snippets lately. I never really stopped writing for these two, I just haven’t posted anything publicly since… 2019. ^^;

This is just an extract from one of my current WIPs. There’s some minor violence, a couple of naughty words and more than a little UST.

Please note that I go by manga canon in all of my fics unless otherwise stated.

Preview:

He'd asked for it alright.

Bankotsu had jumped him outside his tent the first chance he got. He'd offered him a new shinai and a smile that no one could refuse. No prizes for guessing what he was after. Not that Jakotsu was complaining. This was the best chance he'd had in months. Today he'd finally get him on his knees.

Chapter preview:

"Th-them?" A spindly young monk gaped down at Kagome from aboard the nearest bison. "Who-"

"The Spiders," one of his elders answered. He didn’t take his eyes from the storm. "I should have known."

There was another flash of lightning. The sky shuddered. Rain lashed down. The portal widened. A shadow slithered free of the darkness.

Kagome swallowed. "That's..."

Chapter preview:

Kikyou made no reply. Her eyes stayed fixed on Kagome. They were sharp enough to cut glass. Kagome didn't flinch. She wouldn’t back down now. She took a step towards the tree.

Kikyou's grip tightened. She hauled herself to her feet with only the faintest of winces. Her legs buckled under the strain. Kagome rushed to steady her. She halted her with a glare...

Chapter preview:

Shizu's words sank in like an anchor. Kagome was left floundering for a reply. Yet there was no denying it. Whatever had passed between Inuyasha and Shiori was no coincidence...

Chapter preview:

The Southern Air temple loomed out of the mist. Its slender spires rose near as high as the mightiest peaks in the Patola mountains. Even the sky paled before their magnificent blue. Yet its beauty did nothing to ease the pit in her stomach. There was no turning back now...

They didn't make camp until it was almost sunset. Hachi kept a steady course, despite Miroku urging him to rest twice. They passed over several promising islands before he finally began his descent...

Chapter preview:

A soft titter drifted down from the canopy. Miroku drew in another breath. His grip tightened on Kagome's tunic. His stare was fixed on the shadows.

"Show yourself."

Kagome clasped her hands to her chest. Her breath caught in her throat. Inuyasha was in front of her before another word could leave her lips.

“You.” His voice was a growl...

Chapter preview:

“H-how did you-”

“Oh, it was easy enough to follow our ears.”

Kagome's gaze shot towards the unfamiliar voice. A tall, spare man offered her a thin smile through his salt and pepper beard. His face sparked a memory from the previous morning. He was one of the villagers who'd stood by Mrs Ikeda. There was no guarantee he'd be a friend but at least he wasn't another foe...

Chapter preview:

Her whip shot through the gloom. Another crack came as it brushed the root. The spirits gave a screech that sent her staggering. The whole cavern shuddered. Her whip went wide. She snatched it back with a gasp...

Inuyasha didn't move. Sango stared him down. The spirit stared with her. Faint light flickered in his palms. The air was taut with silence.

Chapter preview:

Hiten didn't even hit the ground. The spirits met his fall with cries of rapture. He was swallowed by a wave of shadows.

Inuyasha hurtled after him with a yell. He slammed into the dirt inches from the gate. The spirits tore at the barrier as they scrabbled to claim him. Their claws still couldn't reach beyond the stones. He watched the onslaught with an ashen face...

Chapter preview:

Shippou's eyes narrowed. His flames flared higher as he weighed up Mayu's burns and bruises. His mouth twisted into a snarl. His shoulders were still shaking.

"Touch them again and I'll-"
