Hi there! Since I missed my personal goal of posting every other week, I just wanted to say that I have been visiting family and haven’t found time to write. Story is not on hiatus :) stay tuned for chapter 5!
Have you ever wished you had a convenient list of all the important moments between Inuyasha and Kagome in the manga, anime and spinoffs? Well rejoice because I added one to my blog!
You can head over to inukag.tumblr.com/timeline to see it. There’s a description for each moment and you can hover the gifs to see them in color. Looks like the tabs aren’t working on mobile (at least not on iOS) so you’ll only be able to see the manga timeline, but it works fine on desktop!
Enjoy! Let me know if you find any typo or think there’s a moment that should be added c:
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.
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!

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 💚
Eye of the Typhoon, Chapter 4 is up!

Chapter Summary: Inuyasha finally gets one of his questions answered. Why did Kagome really leave the barrier?
After a brief hiatus due to Covid I am back at it! Every chapter I put out is a humble reminder of the amount of work and thought it takes to put a story to words. It makes me even more grateful for the writers I admire!
“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.
