SessKag Series: The Secretary, Part 4
One wild car ride later, the three of them arrived at The Wolf’s Den—a multistory club in the heart of Tokyo’s youkai entertainment district. Even for a Friday night, the place was jam-packed, and it took a combination of Shippou’s credentials, Kagome’s blushing excuse-me’s, and Inuyasha’s cursing and shouting to get them through the crowd.
Stasis Side-Stories: Abaddon, Part 5
He should have known. He should have foreseen that this would come to pass. That the half-breed would return to threaten his claim. Bakusaiga is in his hands.

Stasis Side-Stories: Abaddon, Part 4
The light fades from his mother’s eyes. His hand slips beneath the collar of her kimono. From the valley of her breasts, he retrieves the Jewel of Four Souls. Its glow is muted in his hold. He considers it briefly, his grip relaxing on his mother’s broken throat. Her vacant gaze draws him in—pinpoints of
