Inuyasha crying at Kikyou's final death is very moving but I think it's important to remember that by his own admission, he would not have been able to cry for her, before. It's only thanks to Kagome that he feels comfortable enough with himself to cry at all and show vulnerability to others. That's what really makes that moment beautiful to me. (Though in a bittersweet way, obviously.)
I also want to focus on the "What true strength and kindness is" line because to me this implies Kagome is the paragon of strength and kindness that Inuyasha wanted to model himself after. Obviously we all know that potential was already in him and Kagome coaxed it out and praised it from him, but I think it's really beautiful to hear Inuyasha thought of Kagome as his role model, in a way. After all, being brave in order to help people WAS one of the first compliments Inuyasha ever admitted to himself about her.
Jealous Dog-Boy's greatest hits.

Chapter 7 is up! Summary: Kaede shows Kagome where to go where she WON'T get attacked by demons. Inuyasha does some errands for Totosai and finds something rather interesting.
I’d like to thank my writers block and upcoming professional examinations for making this a particularly difficult chapter to get out. Next chapter is gonna be a turning point :)

Reading this but hearing the author’s commentary in my head like a sportscaster narrating a play-by-play
Everyone is screwed and gonna die. Nothing anyone can do. Naraku is talking smack. AND THEN:

I updated my story!
Thanks to everyone who read Chapter 1! I had to build up courage to start writing and then to share this story online. I told myself, that even if no one reads it, this is something I’d like to do for myself. The nice folks reading, commenting, and leaving kudos have been such a wonderful, really encouraging and sweet bonus that I did not expect! Thank you so much!
I am hoping to be able to post new chapters every one to two weeks, but no promises!

Summary: Kagome starts preparing for her plan to find work at the Tower. Inuyasha makes some preparations of his own.
Chapter 12 is up! One reason for the long delay - moving all my worldly possessions from one location to another. Another reason for the long delay - the words coming out of my fingertips mutinied, would not do what I wanted, and had to be negotiated with in order to reach a mutually acceptable solution.
Eye of the Typhoon, Chapter 4 is up!

“that just eats away at my feelings man”
you said it
I’ve always thought of how tragic Kaede’s childhood was, she lost her sister and Inuyasha all at the same time and had to grow up quickly to become the next village miko. Thinking about how she was probably lonely with her sister gone. And man I also think about how Inuyasha would always sit by her when she’s weeding or just sits in with her in her hut like that eats away at my feelings man. Please do NOT repost on any other social media without my say so.
My first thought upon seeing this was that Kagome, like me, also has a pair of cowboy boots she’s only worn once. Did I also recently buy a big yellow backpack and think of her? Maybe...
One of the biggest reasons I decided to read the manga even though I've seen the anime a thousand times is because I wanted to see how the modern world was drawn. Look how cute kagome's outfit is here - a reward after all that intense emotional and physical action 💚
