A lonely agoraphobic finds solace in the visits of an old friend. They both want so much more of each other yet are too afraid to ask. Can they overcome their fears to finally be together?
Reunited in the modern era, Kagome and Sesshōmaru made a pact to spend a few days together at a cabin in the woods every year. Their platonic friendship lasted for decades, but they had no idea that this year, everything was about to change.
Higurashi Kagome, an author of fantasy romance novels, decided to participate in a government program to combat the nation's declining birth rate by ordering a perfect, genetically-engineered husband. (AU Setting)
Kagome lived a peaceful, wonderful life in modern-day Tokyo where humans and yōkai coexisted, working as a Preschool teacher in a prestigious yōkai academy. A new student joined her class, leading to an unexpected reunion with a certain daiyōkai from the past.
Kagome died in battle. Inuyasha asked Sesshōmaru to journey to the underworld to revive her. What was supposed to be a simple mission soon became complicated. Kagome and Sesshōmaru must work with each other to find their way back to the realm of the living. Feelings changed, and suddenly they had to fight their growing attraction for each other in addition to fighting new foes.
Fallen under the influence of his beast, Sesshōmaru took Kagome against her will. A tale of redemption told in drabbles. Word counts will vary.
Two years after the death of their child, an incident forced an estranged couple to face their grief. Together.
The matchmaker asked if Kagome would accept a yōkai match and she said yes. She did not expect she would be matched with Sesshōmaru, 5 years after she returned to modern-era. Soon, they embarked on a journey unlike anything they had done before. Feelings unraveled, secrets were revealed, and both realized: what had started as a marriage for convenience could become so much more.
After travelling with Sesshomaru for over a year, Kagome was asked to help a village purify a pair of bloodthirsty Nekomata yokai.
After the well closed, Kagome had no way to return to her family except to become a courtesan in the yōkai pleasure district and receive an amulet that prolonged her lifespan. Twenty years later, she thought her life was settled as a highly sought-after courtesan, but a certain daiyōkai caught a whiff of her and came calling, setting off events that turned her life upside-down.
