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

– 29 – .cat and mouse. Back at port, she trades her hair pins for passage to India, and in a month’s time she sets foot in an unknown land. The air is dense with exotic spices, with the clamor of foreign tongues. For a time she diverts herself with exploring this new country and
SessKag Shorts: Paper Hearts
Kagome smiled as she put the finishing touches on her card. She wasn’t artistic by any means, but she’d taken extra care to follow the lines this time while cutting and to go easy on the glitter–“easy” being a relative term, of course. She blew lightly across the shiny red paper, a small sparkling cloud
Stasis Side-Stories: Abaddon, Part 3
The Jewel glows in his mother’s hand—a dark pearl of abominable power. An amalgam of crystallized souls. Insidious, yet lovely to behold. He studies it. Studies her. Her eyes glimmer with triumph. He can see that she has been studying him, too. “How like your father you are,” she says with a sneer. “Preoccupied with
Stasis Chapter 28: revelations
– 28 – .revelations. A glimpse of something in the distance. An archway of pure white stone– … She gasps wetly, saltwater streaming from her lips and eyes. Her throat is aflame, despite the dampness. She coughs in vain to soothe it. “Such foolishness.” His anger is palpable. It seethes like a current around her.
SessKag Series: The Secretary, Part 2
“Miko.” Kagome jumped in her chair. With a weary sigh, she frowned down at the intercom on her desk before pushing the small red button to respond. “Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama.” The words left her mouth a little terser than she’d intended. It rankled her that he’d demanded she address him with his old honorific like they
Stasis Side-Stories: Abaddon, Part 2
Iron claws score the salt crusted rock. Snarling, he drags up the writhing sea dragon. Wing-like fins shear against the crags, stomach plates sparking at the contact. Waves rise and crash as the serpent’s tail thrashes. He braces himself against the tide, fangs crushing through scale and flesh and bone. Death shrieks rattle the flinty
