They met in an abandoned hut, on the far side of Inuyasha’s forest. She had spent the majority of her morning cleaning up the place—sweeping and scrubbing, rebuilding the hearth, laying down fresh floor mats and bedding. By midday, the rundown shack was looking halfway-decent again. Normally, she would have felt a sense of accomplishment

Stasis Chapter 32: reunion
– 32 – .reunion. The ruby clatters to the floor. “Yashamaru,” she breathes. His smile falters as he steps toward her. “So,” he says, “you haven’t forgotten me.” Softly, she meets his beloved gaze. “How could I forget?” His lips find hers as he gathers her to him, and she feels herself transported back, to
SessKag Series: The Secretary, Part 5
Inuyasha was the first to recover his senses–in a manner of speaking. “Oi, Sesshoumaru,” he said tersely, “what the hell are you doing here?” Kagome grimaced. Kouga glared. Shrugging off the surly hanyou, he plastered on a hospitable smile and strolled toward the inu daiyoukai. “Well, well—if it isn’t Sesshoumaru,” he greeted amiably, straightening his tie.
Stasis Side-Stories: Abaddon, Part 6
It is easy, he thinks, for her to forget. He may as well be made of air, for all the regard she gives him. Her attention is riveted on the half-breed, and his upon her. Bloody claws caress her cheek. Golden eyes fix upon her own. His hand clenches around Tessaiga’s hilt. He forgets nothing.
Stasis Chapter 31: the auction
– 31 – .the auction. At the end of the western world, she contemplates her choices. Crossing from the bed to the window, she buttons her blouse, gazing out at the restless sea. The water here is clear as glass—clear as her intentions. “You are leaving.” She glances toward him only for a moment. There
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. Green and simmering, its blade runs the half-demon through, and he falls forward through the open window, into her arms. Two sets of eyes stare up at
SessKag Series: The Secretary, Part 3
“BAHAHAHAHA!” Kagome glowered, blushing fiercely. Leaning heavily on his cane—which he mostly just carried around for show—her old friend wiped at the crinkled corners of his eyes, glanced up at her, and doubled over laughing again. Somewhere inside Kagome’s temple, a vein threatened to burst. “Can it, Inuyasha,” she growled. “It’s not that funny.” “Kami,”
Stasis Chapter 30: (a forgotten memory)
– 30 – .(a forgotten memory). She sits alone on a park swing, her eyes lifted to the sky. A faint breeze is blowing. It tousles her short hair and whispers across her cheek, and she leans into it for a moment, imagining it to be her father’s touch. Behind her is the sound of
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
