I've been rewatching Inuyasha. This AU thought popped into my head as I was going to sleep tonight...
Ok, but imagine that Kagome and Inuyasha have a baby. And that baby has priestess powers like Kagome but super heightened. And when demons touch her it hurts them! But, since inuyasha is a half demon he can't hold his baby, because it would hurt him. He can only hold her once a month in the dark after she has gone to sleep because on the night of the new moon he turns into his human form. But they won't tell her because they don't want their kid to worry and be scared about her powers. So imagine this poor little 3 old asking mommy kagome why daddy won't ever tuck her into bed? And why wont daddy kiss her goodnight? And why whenever she has a nightmare and tries to crawl into their bed does daddy leave? And why wont daddy play with her like Miroku plays his children? Why doesn't daddy love her? So fast forward and Kagome and Innuyasha have a 2nd baby! But this one doesn't have powers, so Innuyasha can hold this one. But now older sister is upset because why does daddy love the younger sibling more? And why will daddy rock the younger sibling to sleep but not her? Now imagine years later, daughter is older and understands her powers and has reconciled with innuyasha and she's a demon hunter now. But this big Naraku sized demon comes trollin through and she has to stop him, but in doing so she uses all her powers and is dying. So the only time Inuyasha is ever able to hold his daughter while in his demon form, is when he is cradling her dying form in his arms after the battle. And she nudges her head into his chest and says with her dying breath "so this is what your hugs feel like. It's so warm. I like it." These are my depressing 2am thoughts. I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now.
