Brushing off Kaori’s naysaying, Shin slung his practice sword over his shoulder and strutted past her, pacing back and forth down the trail. “First thing’s first, though,” he said, taking a swing at a passing dragonfly, “I’ve gotta help my mom find my dad. I’ve never met him before, but I know he’s really strong—he’s

The Pact Side-Stories: The Centipede Hunt, Part 4
“Power, huh?” Shin said, grinning. As Kaori rolled her eyes, he asked, “So how do I fix my grip, then, sensei?” Kaori sighed, good and long. But after that, she got off her high horse and showed him how he ought to be holding his practice sword—both singled-handed and double. It felt weird at first,
The Pact Side-Stories: The Centipede Hunt, Part 3
After returning to the ground, Shin stayed in his hanyou form longer than he should’ve. He’d forgotten that Kaori was a miko, as well as a ninja. He was reminded of it all of a sudden as her rosy aura hit his demonic senses like a slap in the face. Mid-leap, he phased back into
The Pact Side-Stories: The Centipede Hunt, Part 2
After about a half hour of wandering down the path, Shin realized that wherever they were, it was nowhere near the centipedes’ lair. He didn’t really recognize this part of forest at all. Even stretching his spiritual senses—his ‘reiki radar’ as he and his mom liked to call it—he didn’t pick up on any useful
The Pact Side-Stories: The Centipede Hunt, Part 1
A short way into the forest, the little ponytailed ninja-girl threw a few sharp glances around at the trees and said bossily, “So, where are they—those ‘bruiser’ centipede youkai you were bragging about?” Crossing his arms behind his head, Shin side-eyed her. Bossy or not, she was pretty cute. Tomboyish and a little snub-nosed, maybe,
The Gordian Knot II (Explicit)
And now, Hirokin thought with a twitch of lip, as he traded the deadly company of his liege lord for that of his mad wife, for the hard part. But, as usual, as much as he was dreading this confrontation, Hirokin was anticipating it as well—a conundrum, indeed. As he mounted his dragoness Ohana and
SessKag Series: The Pact, Part 185
“Someone to protect,” Kagome said, with a wistful smile. She glanced toward Inuyasha, whose back was still turned. His head was bowed, his ears slightly dipped. She opened her mouth again to call him back from his ruminations, when a girl’s high, bright voice beat her to it, calling out from the edge of the
SessKag Series: The Pact, Part 184
Inuyasha pursed his lips. Drawing Tessaiga from its sheath with a soft hiss, he held it out toward his starry-eyed nephew blade-flat. Shin eyed the chipped and rusted sword over, then frowned. “That’s your sword, oyaji? It looks like an old piece of crap.” “Shin,” Kagome said sternly. Shin tossed her an apologetic glance. “An
SessKag Series: The Pact, Part 183
Holding Kagome’s eye for a beat, Inuyasha nodded. She could see that he believed this, too. Or rather, that he believed in her. He always had. Through thick and through thin, he had never lost faith in her. Even now, after all that had come to pass between them. To see this unwavering belief in
SessKag Series: The Pact, Part 182
“Oh,” Kagome said, faltering. At her bereft expression, Inuyasha’s ears went flat. Thunderously, he glowered. “You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.” “Inuyasha—” “You’re tellin’ me after all this time,” he exploded, gnashing his fangs in Kagome’s face so hard she winced, “after all this time, he’s still givin’ you and Shin the slip? Seven fucking
