Because I refuse to believe Miroku and Sango would have stopped at 3 kids, I have planned and created my own, so they can appear in my fanfic. And I figured I might as well share them here.
I'm keeping the Yashahime name and professions of the first 3 ones, but with a few adjustments to their personalities and looks (because yashahime made them annoying and I can't allow that).
So here they are, my complete set of MirSan kids.
1 and 2. Kin'u (金烏) and Gyokuto (玉兎)
They are the ones that most resemble Sango physically, but they are also the ones that are more like Miroku in personality, though in different ways.
When they were little, Kin'u tended to be the "leader" of their play, and Gyokuto was her right hand woman. They often got into trouble for being mischievous. They both learned the basics of combat, but in the end Kin'u had a greater aptitude for scholar and spirituality, while Gyokuto found some creative outlet in creating weapons and gear for the slayers. Gyokuto took great joy in experimenting and innovation when it came to her creations, and she has a special taste for flashy tools, such as bombs and new ways to incorporate poisons.
Kin'u keeps her hair short for religious reasons (she didn't want to shave it all off completely so she came up with a compromise). Gyokuto keeps her hair long for the most part, except for a period when there was an accident while she was experimenting with explosives, and burned off her hair and eyebrows. It took a while to grow back, but she was more careful after the incident.
Kin'u spends most of her time in Mushin's temple, and she assisted him in the last years of his life. She found some novices and young monks to help her get the temple back in order, and although they are all hard workers, one might also notice she got some really pretty people to live and work with her (she likes the view). She would never harass them or anything but you know, if they are willing, she's willing. Gyokuto is more direct in her approach and would definitely hit on people, though it seems like she takes more joy in making them blush and stutter than actually getting anything out of it.
They are both able to be pretty manipulative, and getting what they want with their words, but Kin'u tends to be more cunning. When the salyer village was able to rebuild and had more people join their ranks, Gyokuto took the opportunity to become a peddler, doubling as a scout for the slayers and bringing back news of any possible job they could get. She was a great saleswoman and made a lot of money during this period.
Mama's boy, very easy target for teasing and light bullying. Literally the only thing he got from Miroku was his face, and even so when he was little somebody said he looked like his father and he started crying, because he wanted to be like mom and uncle Kohaku. Really proud of his slayer heritage and duty, and is always trying very hard to do his best and improve. Hisui is very innocent and very clueless when it comes to romance, so he usually doesn't notice when someone might be interested in him (and when he does he gets really uncomfortable). He was usually dragged around by his sisters when Kin'u had some great adventure idea, even though he thought the idea was stupid and they would get in trouble (they did).
Hisui's only fan. Took on fighting because she wanted to be like her big brother, and really excelled at long range style (though she can do close contact if needed). At a first glance she may come off as serious and aloof, but she is actually shy and very sweet. She likes everything girly and loves dressing up in nice clothes. Really feels drawn to the slayers' sense of duty and honour, and is very proud of her heritage and role, just like Hisui. Could have been a flirt, but she's too shy to do it, and usually just ends up blushing furiously and running away when anybody shows interest. Gyokuto tried coaching her on it, but it didn't work.
Physically she is Miroku's spitting image. Same dark hair, blue eyes and eye shape.
Was a very sickly kid, to the point everyone worried she would not survive infancy. She made it, with the sheer power of will and violence. Her parents tried channelling her high energy to other activities because they worried about her health, but turns out the kid just was a very good fit for fighting. As a child she was always involved in more intense playing, and was always full of scratches and bruises. Even though she would get periodic fevers, she just hated staying home with all her might. She prefers wearing men's clothes, and can be loud and boisterous. She chose to fight with the biggest and least subtle weapon available at the exterminator shop. Is often paired with Ruri for missions, because they tend to balance each other out and make a good team.
Physically she is the one with the palest skin and lightest hair colour, and is full of freckles.
Even though she is younger, she tends to be one of the more serious and mature of the kids. Since Shinju's health took up her parents' attention, Kanaho was mostly cared for by her older siblings. Never felt interested in fighting, and although she had some aptitude for spiritual powers, she just couldn't be bothered to be interested in it. Instead, she took on weapon making.
Unlike Gyokuto, who is an inventor and loves working on flashy gadgets, Kanaho is a traditional perfectionist. She went deep into studying traditional weapons and how to produce the best results with the best materials. She even managed to nag Totosai enough for him to teach her some of his techniques, even though she is only human. Kanaho's weapons became the Stradivarius of the slayer world. It became a matter of pride to have one of her products, as she took her time working on them and chose her clients very carefully, so there weren't that many available.
Kanaho's hair is darker than her mothers, and she has a bony structure. Nobody knows where she got her eyes from, it doesn't particularly look like Sango's or Miroku's. Maybe from a grandparent.
The baby of the family. Is absolutely pampered and spoiled by his older sisters. Has a cute round baby face and freckles, with darker brown hair. Is a little prince in the household with all the attention, but is actually a very sensitive and sweet child. Cries very easily but doesn't throw tantrums. Ruri likes dressing him up in cute clothes and caring for his hair. Sometimes he tries rebelling, but it doesn't go far and he always apologizes in the end.
Chikai has a very high potential for spiritual matters, and trained since a very early age to follow his father's footsteps, but monastery life was too rigorous for him (specially with him being so sheltered by his sisters), so he always figured out ways to run away from it, and Kin'u always bailed him out. He likes studying with her, and will make a good monk when he grows up, he just really doesn't want to have to shave his head.
Final tally: 5 girls and 2 boys. 2 spiritual, 3 slayers (fighters), 2 slayers (support). Totalling 7 children. Sorry I couldn't make it to 20, I think 7 is enough.
I might commission some portraits of them kids some day, idk, we'll see. But they for sure will start showing up in my fics.
