ONGOING STORIES:

Vulnerability: Canon Universe. Perhaps it is the way her cheeks flush when she cries, or the way her hands shake when she weeps, but after Naraku puts the miko Kagome in her care, Kagura can only think of protecting her. She supposes it's a good thing that her heart has never been her own. Updated on August 17, 2012. Next chapter in the works: No set date for upload.

Post Tenebras: Lux: Canon Universe.

STORIES ON HIATUS:

An Artist's Touch: Alternate Universe. Five hundred years after the Shikon Jewel was completed, former Lord of the West Taisho Sesshomaru returns to Japan, only to meet the one woman he could never forget: Higurashi Kagome. Eager to learn more about the mysterious youkai, Kagome, a professional photographer and successful artist, inserts herself into his life. However, though she may be determined to melt the youkai's icy heart, he isn't so keen on the idea. At least, not at first, but Kagome did always have a way of making people change their minds. Likely to be rewritten, and rating moved down to T. More news to come, likely to be moved to Dokuga as well.

Legacy: Alternate Universe. On a trip home from the Feudal Era, Kagome finds out that her mother is not her biological parent, and that she is, in fact, an inuyoukai born in the Sengoku Jidai to the Southern lord. What's more, the seal that has been keeping her human will release on her eighteenth birthday, and she will then be forced to live her life as a youkai. Kagome's life continues to spiral out of control, and she finds that on top of being betrothed to the cold Lord of the West, she must usurp her murderous uncle and take her rightful place as Lady of the South. This ordeal was bound to make advanced math look easy. Likely to be rewritten. More news to come.
