[inukag-archive]

hello there, hope you are doing well, can you recommend an inukag story where inuyasha is human, AU please, like soul therapy, thank you in advance

Hello @fmrinukag !

Thank you so much for reaching out to the Archive, we absolutely can get a list of Human Inuyasha stories together for you. However, in the course of making this list the team noticed an interesting quirk: Inuyasha is not always explicitly stated as being human or not in all AUs. He is sometimes given his hanyou coloring but with no mention of his ears, claws, or demonic heritage are featured in the plot. For organizational purposes, we chose to split this list into STATED HUMAN and IMPLIED HUMAN.

Happy reading!

STATED HUMAN

Oh, But You're Good To Me @witchygirl99 (M)

It’s a terrible photo, really. The action figure takes up the entire bottom of the screen and part of both of their faces. Shippo’s giggling though, eyes shut and crinkled in his mirth while Inuyasha looks at him. His expression is clearly fond. It’s the softest Inuyasha has ever, ever seen himself.

This is fatherhood, he thinks a little wildly.

He sends the photo to Kagome.

Inuyasha is a single father. Shippo is his adopted son. Kagome isn't supposed to be in the picture, but somehow, she returns anyways. A story about family, love, and all of its obstacles.

The Jilted Lover by basya88 (T)

“You were very young, marrying you felt like clipping your wings before you took your first dive”, he said, looking at her like he still had the right to do so.

She huffed, her haughtiness apparent, “So you’re saying, you had to make a choice for me? Who gave you the right to do that, huh? Excuses, excuses, but yeah, you made a choice, and you choose to break my heart by leaving me.”

Those we’re the longest spoken sentences he heard from her in years and now she’s walking away from him, and if he didn’t stop her, she’d be gone for good. He can’t have that. He had to do something.

“Please, don’t walk away,” he pleaded.

Without looking back she replied, “You taught me how. You walked out on me once. Now, we’re even.”

Both of them forgot, that hundreds of listeners are witnessing their exchange thru the radiowaves.

all night long I feel his presence hover by @doginabirdcage (E)

It is when Kagome turns forty-five, living in a small apartment in Tokyo, with her child and husband long gone, that she inherits a fortune. She’s got a gray streak in her hair that she didn’t fight when it started coming in years ago. There are crows feet by her eyes. But suddenly, she is an heiress.

Skinny Love by emaniem5 (T)

"This was no love letter. This was a threat."

Flunking math, bad hair days, inheriting a family business she doesn't want, falling in love with her sister's boyfriend...If Kagome thought she had problems before, they had just been multiplied a hundredfold. And having to dress up like her sister to confuse a stalking pyromaniac was only one of them.

Slow burn. No pun intended.

I Do by Shirahime Shou95 (M)

A.U. "I hate you." She whispered in a low voice, tears brimming in her brown orbs. But the young boy before her just grinned smugly. "The feeling's mutual." When seven-year-old Kagome Higurashi met Inuyasha Takahashi on the elementary school for the first time, she would've never guess that fifteen years later, she would say those two words to him; "I do."

--

Hallway Shenanigans by toesalignedarch (T)

AU: When Inuyasha delivers flowers to Sango on Miroku's behalf, he runs into one of Sango's friends and unwillingly develops a little crush. He thinks he's just going to get over it. But when Sango finds out, she decides to play matchmaker. Told in snippets of 250 words or less.

Dog Tags by @lemonlushff (E)

On the worst day of his life, an old WWII dog tag washed ashore. Now, being a Navy man himself, he feels like tracking this soldier down is the right thing to do. It's amazing how sometimes random twists of fate can help your heart heal in ways you didn't know were possible. M for language and lemon content. Inu/Kag

Ok Lets Talk About This!

Why does Towa turn into a human during the new moon and Setsuna doesn’t? And how come Towa never experienced it when she was growing up?

The way I look at it, they never explained why hanyou have a special night of vulnerability in the original series either.  It was just an inconvenient thing that raised the stakes higher.  I don’t think Inuyasha ever had a peaceful new moon either!

So lets try and understand why Towa has never experienced one until now.  Myoga says its because Towa is meant to be in 16th century Japan, and that’s why she is experiencing it properly.   However....does Myoga even understand the implication of what he’s saying? Its not like the moon has changed in the past 450 years!  

But, if you think back to the cold open, Towa brings up how different she and Setsuna are, and how they’ve inhabited different worlds.  The modern era is so peaceful in comparison to the Warring States era.  In the modern era the most Towa had to deal with is bullies, but she lived very comfortably.  She also barely used her real powers.  But since she travelled to the past, Towa has been pushing herself constantly and exerting her demonic energy.

What I’m saying is, I think the reason hanyou get affected by the new moon is because they are constantly exerting a certain level of demonic energy that keeps them in peak condition.  They aren’t really “human”, they are half human and half magic creature.  But it takes energy and practice to not get picked on by other youkai.  And the effect of consistently using their demonic power is that every month there is a reset or “release valve” that happens as a result.

That would at least explain why Towa never experienced it before.  She was barely tapping into her real power.   Only now, in this era, has she been living her life “fully”!

But what about Setsuna?  Setsuna doesn’t have this vulnerability at all.   How could it be tied to memory? That I have no answers for! She clearly is using her demonic energy a lot, so the full moon should affect her.  But she also had memory loss? Could it be that her power is also being capped somehow because the butterfly sealed it away?

♗ with human!InuKag 👀

♗: Everyone has a timer on their wrist that counts down to the moment of meeting your soulmate

Ari!!! Lov you!!! And also this was hard to write and i didn’t put in all i wanted to but thank you sm

AO3 | WC: 963 | Ko-fi commission info

The years on Kagome’s wrist had, slowly but surely, trickled down to months, to weeks, to days, to hours.

There had been days, where she traced the different times over and over, thinking that maybe, just maybe the time would speed up. It never did, but now that she was just a mere couple of hours away from meeting them, she prayed for time to slow down.

It was coming too soon, too fast, and despite having fifteen years to prepare herself for this very moment, she was suddenly not prepared at all.

Pulling at her hair whilst trying to lose herself in her studies, she groaned every time the numbers on her wrist came into view until she set her pencil down and gave up.

Her stomach was in knots, to the point she almost wanted to stay in her room the rest of the day, thinking there would be no way her soulmate would find her then.

Unfortunately, as soon as the idea came, Kagome’s mother called to her, asking her to run an errand.

So much for that idea, she thought. Oh well, at least this’ll distract me enough. 

Checking out her window and seeing how nice a day it was, she grabbed a light jacket and headed out.

Kagome was sure of two things.

One, her bike’s tire was popped, and she had no way to patch it up or fix it just then.

Two, it would take way longer to get home than she cared to admit if she had to carry her bike and her groceries.

That left for a very frustrated Kagome trying to figure out the quickest way to get home.

Carrying the bike over-shoulder was quick to fail, and resulted in a tear in her jacket. Underarm was easier, but she still had to pause to readjust every couple of minutes, which was just no good. She was about to try another way just as she walked into somebody.

“Hey, watch where you’re goin’!” he exclaimed, scowling down at her. He looked like he was about to make another biting remark, but stopped himself when Kagome held her hands up in an apologetic gesture.

“Sorry, I guess I was paying more attention to my bike than my surroundings,” she explained, hoping that would be enough to placate the boy in front of her.

He looked from her to her bike and back again before crossing his arms and looking away. “Tch, that’s no excuse. You need to be more aware of your surroundings.”

“I said I was sorry! And you bumped into me too, so it’s just as much your fault as it is mine.”

“Oh yeah? Is it my fault your bike’s busted too?” he asked, a smirk spreading on his face. It almost looked like he was challenging her, but to what, she didn’t know.

“Maybe it is!” she shot back, holding the bike under her arm again as she tried to move past him. Her fire only lasted a moment, and then her groceries broke through the bags they were in and fell to the ground.

Groaning, she set her ride down and knelt to pick her items up, not quite sure where she’d put them now if she wanted to bring them and her bike back home.

“I knew I should’ve gotten that basket set up,” she whispered under her breath.

When all the items were gathered in her arms, she stood back up and looked forlornly at the bike she was going to have to abandon. Just as she made to walk away from it, the boy from before hoisted it up.

“What’re you doing?” she asked, all earlier signs of anger over what he said gone.

“What’s it look like? I’m helpin’ you out. Now come on, I don’t have all day,” he said, looking away from her.

“Oh. Oh! Right, of course.” 

As they started on their way back to the shrine, Kagome could swear she’d seen a dusting of pink on this stranger’s cheeks.

“Oh, Kagome, is that him?” her mother asked when she came in to set her items down.

“Is that who?”

“You know- your soulmate!”

“What? Him? No way! I’ve still got an hour un… until…” Her words petered out when she looked to her wrist, and saw the timer had ticked down to zero. While trying to process that the time to meet her soulmate had passed, her mind flashed back to when the boy she’d met had paused at her placating gesture, and again to when she’d seen him blushing.

“N-no way. I was so concerned about getting home that I didn’t even notice!” Sliding to the ground and covering her face with both hands, she tried to take it all in.

Is that boy really my soulmate? If he is, why didn’t he say anything? What a jerk!

“Kagome, dear, don’t leave the poor boy waiting for you,” her mother reminded her gently, pulling her from her thoughts.

That’s right. I told him where to set the bike and said I’d be right back out… 

Climbing to her feet and taking a couple deep breathes, she walked back out and noticed him staring up at the Tree of Ages. She didn’t say anything when she moved to stand beside him, and he made no snarky comment when she turned to look up at it too.

The tree had died some time ago, but it still stood tall, and surrounding it was something Kagome had never been able to put her finger on. But, in that very moment, as she stood there beside her soulmate, she no longer felt it.

Not looking away from the tree, and letting her hand just brush his, Kagome introduced herself.

“By the way, my name’s-”
