So I started reading this after hearing some good things about it; man, it is an excellent read. The title character is so sneaky and warped, but what do you expect from a Sith? And when he met Palpatine, man oh man together they're just the worst kind of people. It's always interesting to read about the bad guys every once in a while.😁

There's alot of political wording, but necessary seeing as how they wanted to rule the Republic; I love reading books, but if anyone is interested I would suggest getting the audio.

A Moment with You

He was always in her heart, but she wondered whether she was in his; she was the wind so could go anywhere, but she always went to the same field. The mass of white flowers danced in her breeze as she passed by; on the same day, every year she would find him. He would sit in the spot, still stained slightly from her blood; her shapeless form would go near him, kissing his face with her breeze. Her heart skipped whenever he smiled and whispered her name; tears would fall down her face as well as she held out her hand to caress his cheek. She wanted to be with him forever.

Kagura was the wind goddess; free to go where she pleased, but the high Gods knew her heart ached for something.

HG: You seem melancholy

Kagura: It is nothing my Lord

HG: You have returned to that spot many times; on the same day.

Kagura: Yes (she said softly)

HG: You have not let him go

Kagura: I can't (she turned away, tears falling from her eyes)

The High Gods feel the pain from her; a bright being positions themselves across from her. Feeling the warmth of their presence, she faces them; no facial features could be seen and the brightness didn't hurt her crimson eyes.

HG: Wind Goddess Kagura; on the day you left the earth, we granted you this high honor for the sins you atoned for. You accepted your life, but why when you still yearn to be earth bound?

Kagura: I...didn't think anything could be done...I mean...my body is gone.

HG: Wind Goddess (what felt like a hand touched her shoulder), what is your wish?

She was surprised by the question; dare she ask? Could she?

Kagura: I...I want to be with him; can I return?

HG: Your place is here among the Gods now Kagura; however, we can grant you one day with him every year.

Kagura: I'LL TAKE IT!

She apologized quickly, her cheeks blushing from embarrassment.

The following year, Sesshomaru returned to the spot he frequents to think of Kagura; only this time, as he entered the field he saw a familiar outline. A woman with a high, short ponytail was kneeling in the same spot Kagura died in; she faced him, a fan in one hand.

Kagura: Yo

🥰🥰

To be continued?

**Let me protect you**

The sound of their blades making contact seemed louder in the quiet forest; as they remained in a blocked formation, they stared at one another, a small smile appearing at the corners of their lips. A soft breeze flew past them before they stood apart.

"You're getting better at blocking my strikes."

"Come on, you're going easy on me."

"I'm not."

"Look into my eyes and say that again."

He stared at her big eyes only briefly before blushing and looking away.

"Okay," he answered still keeping his gaze down. "But I didn't want to get too rough on you."

"Kohaku....if I'm going to fight by your side I need to practice." Rin walked up to him and touched his arm. "You promised to teach me."

"I know and I will." He touched her hand and smiled back. "It's getting late."

They walked side by side in silence; Rin turned to face him. The scar on the bridge of his nose caught her eye as always; she stopped and he did the same facing her.

"Are you alright?" He asked with concern.

"You're....you're afraid something might happen to me...aren't you?"

"What?"

"Because if I were to..."

"Stop....please Rin."

She took his hands into hers and held them close to her chest; she then touched his face and his silence said it all.

"You're a skilled demon slayer Kohaku."

"Even the most skilled can...." He ran his hand across her cheek. "I don't....I can't lose you; not when I just got you back."

"Then teach me properly; teach me all you know. I know you're afraid, but that's all the more reason to."

"Rin," he started softly.

"People....die Kohaku; this is a fact we cannot escape from. But....if we have the skills to protect ourselves then we must do what we can; I know you will protect me with all you have and I want to do the same for you....I love you."

Her words broke deep within his soul; he brought her closer to him and they kissed among the leaves. He whispered in her ear how much he loved her, how he wanted to protect her, all the while tears falling down his cheeks onto hers.

The following evening, Kohaku gave Rin her own demon slayer uniform; they went back into the forest where he began her training once more.

When they returned to the village, Rin excitedly recited to Kagome all that she learned; Kohaku watched with pride, his heart swelling with love for her and fear. She could be the best demon slayer/priestess in feudal Japan; however, he knew if she were to die....she would not come back.

"Rin....my beloved...I will protect you."

When he says "I knew it was you"....my God it gets me everytime....so soft and sad his voice was. 😢

Kagura and Sesshomaru dialogue - InuYasha the final Act episode 2

Kagura: It’s quiet… There is nobody. Is this the end? Alone… This is the freedom I sought… [sigh] …Sesshomaru…

Sesshomaru: I followed the scent of blood and miasma.

Kagura: [laugh] I see, you thought it was Naraku. Are you disappointed that I’m not Naraku?

Sesshomaru: I knew it was you.

Kagura: [sigh] Even thought…you came?

Sesshomaru: [thought “Even Tenseiga cannot save her.”]

Sesshomaru: Are you leaving?

Kagura: Yes… It’s enough.

Kagura: [thought “I saw you… one last time”]

When the reveal happened, I cried myself; I was upset...ugly tears and all. Although I didn't grow up on Inuyasha, I still enjoyed the series immensely the years I've been watching it; the whole reveal thing (I still don't believe is true) brought me to a place where I was always seeing this kind of thing in anime and/or media...underage girls with grown men. That thought made my heart hurt so much and it still does.

Regarding this show, I take comfort in knowing it's NOT a sequel of our beloved Inuyasha; they are not allowed to call it a Sequel. Even the writer of the manga proclaimed it a What If...it isn't relevant to IY.

Being part of the anti group, following people who feel the same as me is an added comfort; they provide such awesome theories and do mega research that points to the big reveal as not what it appears to be. Although in the beginning I still would cry and get upset, I learned to treat this show as if I were reading a fanfiction...that's what it is anyway. Not that I would read anything with that ship, but I cleanse myself after each episode by watching or reading Inuyasha....the real canon story.

There are no words I can say that could help you...I'm sorry, but it's a process like all things; you have to cry, get angry and feel this pain until you realize this show is nothing. It's not affiliated with Inuyasha and it never will be.

I hope you feel better. 🥰

(same person from last ask) I've been texting my friends about this and we're all shocked and heartbroken. this has been official for two years???!!! WHAT THE FUCK! looking through the images of the new show and I can't believe how baby she looks!!! we're all crying, srs. holy shit. I didn't know when I woke up this morning my whole childhood would be ruined like this. ACTUALLY crying. I found this blog through tags and im sorry for spamming you, kind stranger. thank you for responding.

Oh no!! Ugh you poor thing 😩

You've caught us at the end of two very long, very exhausting years in this hell-fandom, so most Antis in the tags are desensitised and jaded, but back when the reveal happened, we reacted just like you! I remember the slew of shocked posts and the amount of fans saying their childhood was tainted. Sesshomaru fans were devastated 😩 Most of us grew up with Inuyasha, so the character assassination in HNY hit us hard.

Fellow Antis, if you have anything to say that might help this poor Anon, feel free to chime in!

FINALLY OVER!! SO LONG TO THAT TRASH SHOW HNY!! 🤣
