Put this picture in your pocket, next time you get into an argument with someone about 'useless' scientific studies, ask them "Do you think that we should give funding to study the mating habits of endangered iguanas in the Sonoran desert, or should we be funding cures for alzheimer's and diabetes?" and then when they say "Of course we should be using that money to fund cures!" you can whip out this picture and say "trick question, it's the same thing"
For @inukag-week 2025, Day 1: Rain! Truly I’m sorry I have almost no spare time to devote to this week. I honestly ended to write just a little blurb for every day but I got caught up trying to a simple doodle and it ballooned into this actual mess of color. Reference image was found here
Please enjoy the only drabble I managed:
Title: Along with the Rain
It’s a quiet pitter patter against the roof of the well house, but it’s undeniable. It’s raining.
That is a simple fact. It’s happening. Just like Kagome leaning up and pressing her lips against his. It’s happening. That’s another fact.
He’d been so surprised that he’d backed up against the lip of the well. Despite his shock, the kiss is soft, just like the raindrops he can hear hitting the tiles, the surrounding trees, and the ground outside. It’s gentle.
Kagome pulls away, yet all he can manage is a little, “huh?”
She smiles. “I missed you.”
He can feel the blush warm in his cheeks. “I-is that all?”
Kagome’s tender expression turns into a more familiar annoyed pout. “You didn’t miss me?”
Of course he did. Didn’t this idiot woman know that he peered down the well for hours the last three days, reaching the corner of his patience just to keep from jumping down, finding her, and snatching her to take her back home?
“I did,” Inuyasha struggled to stay. His voice falters, somewhere between wanting to fight and wanting to be nonchalant or even sweet.
Kagome gives a hmph, crossing her arms. “Doesn’t seem like it, and here I ran all this way to see y—“
He muffles her ridiculous words with his mouth. The rain starts pelting down harder, and he takes that like a cue from heaven that he should match the same energy. So he leans forward with more force. When his hand reaches through her hair to tilt her head back, he notices that it’s damp. True to her word, she must have run through the rain to see him. His stomach flips to think about how eager she was for them to reunite.
He’d missed her something awful.
Kagome is a little breathless when Inuyasha pulls back.
“Did that answer your question, dummy? Three days is a stupid long time.”
She nods. “Too long. I had a nice time at the party though. I just wish my aunt didn’t live so far away. Next time you could come with me…”
He scoffs. “And get on one of those flying contraptions? Pass.”
Her arms wrap around his neck loosely, and in response his hands land on her hips. “I don’t know how I’d get you through airport security anyways.”
His brow furrows. “I could beat ‘em.”
“That’s one of the problems, Inuyasha.” She rolls her eyes and kisses him quickly. “Violence won’t solve everything you know.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he replies gruffly.
“Sometimes you have to play nice,” another kiss, this time on the tip of his nose. The look on her face is coy as she backs up slightly, the tiniest tug against his hold. She’s teasing him and she knows it, the minx.
Just then, a rumble of thunder drummed above. The rain now pelts at the tile in waves. Another cue.
“Oh, I can play nice,” he says with a smirk.
When Inuyasha circles his arm around her waist to yank her against him, Kagome’s not even surprised. In fact, she matches his playful look with her own.
“Prove it.”
Without wasting any more time, he dips her down and peppers kisses all over her face. She laughs when he gets to her neck, whiffing her rain-mixed scent while he’s there. There’s another spot past this ticklish one that he’s aiming for. God, how he’d missed her.
Her breath hitches.
There.
When the lightning strikes and the rain begins to pour down heavily, Inuyasha thinks it’s the perfect cover for all the noise he intends to make.

I love how messy Kagome and Inuyasha are with gossip, Inuyasha has probably never gossiped with someone before now they I think about it
Him and Kagome already have married vibes with how close they're already sitting. There is no need for them to be sitting that close but here we are, beginning of volume 3
This is waaaay later in the manga and you can tell how much Miroku thinks his life means nothing if his friends aren't safe. Miroku looks like such a little boy here. He truly thinks his life is forfeit for anyone in that group, especially Sango. He would happily get sucked in and or let that miasma go straight to his heart
I love the friendship between Miroku and Inuyasha. It's Inuyasha's first male friend EVER and it seems like it's the other way around too. Miroku talked to him about truly wanting to become a demon much earlier in the series and Inuyasha has repeatedly stopped Miroku from overusing the wind tunnel.
It just means so much to me that they have each other. I'm going to expand on their friendship and connect more in my fic too. I go absolutely rapid over them truly acting like brothers, or pack mates.
