I Really Wanna Comeback Here. Just To Draw SessKagu Again. I Miss It

I really wanna comeback here. Just to draw SessKagu again. I miss it 💜

Do you think kagura would've still existed in yashahime without naraku?

Yes, I believe she could've. It's so many creative ways that she could've been revived. Especially since they dipped into time traveling in yashahime.

Going to stick with black and white cause it’s faster. I may go back later to color!

Here’s Pg 3

Sesskagu !

just thinking about a non-HnY plotline in which…

Rin marries Kohaku and they name their firstborn daughter Kagura out of respect for the wind demoness who saved Kohaku’s life…

Sesshoumaru watches over Rin and Kohaku’s family for generations to come… He ends up being an absolute pushover of a grandfather. You think he spoiled Rin? Pffft. Child’s play. You’ll never hear him admit it, but he shows up every month or so with candies, toys, new clothes, etc. from his travels for his adopted grandkids. Maybe Sesshoumaru has never had a “pack” in the traditional inuyokai sense, but he sure as heck has one now. (Don’t worry, he also brings gifts for Inukag’s kids, too.) I feel like his love languages are definitely acts of service + gift giving. Not a big “words of affirmation” guy. Deep down inside, he loves this little (yet growing) pack of humans who run up to him and give him hugs and beg him to take them flying in the sky for a minute…

Understanding that Rin has been used against the both of them as bait in the past, Sesshoumaru (begrudgingly) teams up with Kohaku when he’s in the village to teach her some basic demon-slaying and self-defense techniques when she enters her mid-teen years. (Before Kohaku and Rin are married.) Both males understand that she doesn’t have to be perfect or excel at them (nor does she ever become an expert fighter), but they at least want her to know a few moves in case she ever encounters trouble, you know? We love a cooperative future father/son-in-law relationship.

I also imagine that maybe Kohaku was like… 👀👀 “oh man, she’s cute…!” at Rin when he saw his childhood friend dressed in demon slayer garb for the first time. It’s even funnier to imagine Sesshoumaru, the protective dad he is, being insistent on lowkey chaperoning Rin’s training sessions with him and Kohaku as he watches their blossoming “puppy love” romance play out. He doesn’t want things getting too crazy over there.

There’s more to come on this. I would love to write a little drabble series about a KohRin family and gramps Sesshoumaru… 🤲🏻🤲🏻

For the 10th anniversary of Inuyasha, in the magazine "Weekly Shonen Sunday No 50" of 2006, Rumiko Takahashi herself selected her top 10 favorite scenes from the manga and, among the 10 scenes, there is also Kagura's death and in the comment she mentions Sesshomaru! 🥰🥰🥰

The image that was chosen to represent this scene is the moment in which Sesshomaru appears in front of Kagura.

How many things they (you know who...) said about this scene... they said it's forced, exaggerated, overplayed, fanservice, Sesshomaru wasn't supposed to be there etc. etc. 🙄 The TRUTH is that this scene is one of her favourites!!! 🤗🤗🤗 Because she loves Kagura, first of all, but also she likes how she made this scene, including Sesshomaru being there!

@moonandwind exactly Rin and Kohaku would've had to best growth into a relationship. They always worried about each other. Even Rin openly worried about Kohaku. And they relate to each other. Imagine Rin and Kohaku, who both lost their families tragically, come together and rebuild the family they lost.

And you so right that's literally all she is. They did her so wrong.

***now I wanna draw a KohRin art**

Why don’t more people ship Kohaku and Rin??? I’ve always found this ship very cute.

Some SessRinners say that Rin deserves “better” than Kohaku… I don’t know what they’re referring to, when they say that she deserves “better”, because if for them the most important thing is the physical aspect, surely Sesshomaru is more handsome than Kohaku but if they consider the character and personality, Sesshomaru is absolutely NOT better than Kohaku!!! We see in the manga and anime that Kohaku always acted kind to Rin, except when he was under Naraku’s control, and if she was in danger, he always protected her.

Here you can see Kohaku shielding with his body to protect Rin. 

So I don’t know what they rely on to say that Sesshomaru is a better husband for Rin, I’m convinced for example that Kohaku wouldn’t have ignored her without saying a word as soon as she gave birth like Sesshomaru did. I have the feeling that Sesshomaru’s good looks prevent them to see his flaws…

Rin also seems to have a genuine affection towards Kohaku.

So I don’t understand why many didn’t see this ship, of two children on good terms almost the same age, much more logical…

…instead of this one when they watched Inuyasha…

They even say that they see Kohaku as a brother for Rin… okay, but y’all have to tell me why Kohaku can be considered as a family for Rin while Sesshomaru not!!! 🙄

But anyway, certainly everyone has their own preferences, but the objective fact is that KohaRin as a couple would have been much more morally correct to show in an anime also watched by kids, instead of showing a 12-year-old girl being courted by her guardian who is waiting for her to “grow up”.
