LMM 138: Moral Support
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one who has (almost) everything he needs.

Moral Support
Argent startled Jacques by taking his hand. “Quite the opposite.”
He spoke to Tsumiko, who took his other hand. Which didn’t answer everything, but her gentle smi...

Virtuous Woman
“Dad’ll bring Mom home first. Modesty is one of her virtues.”
“A moment, please,” Jacques begged and hurried to Tsumiko. “Your brother is charming. A good boy.”
She brightened and asked som...

Chapter 164: Safe
Sesshoumaru pointedly ignored Masa’s shock while the monk cheerfully explained about the dichotomy of an inu-youkai’s existence.
“This is a mere glimpse of the magnitude of Sesshoumaru-sama’s power.” Miroku obliquely indicated Shishi s...

Gingko cheerfully presented Jacques with lengths of cloth in several colors. “Pick your poison.”
“What about you?”
“Clan colors for me.” Gingko turned, revealing a wad of blue mos...
Pokemon GO!
Let’s Be Friends. I first stumbled across Pokemon ages ago, and I’ve often referenced James (from Team Rocket) as my first anime crush. I first started playing Pokemon because my kids were really into it, and I wanted to share their excitement (and grasp the lingo they were throwing around). So I became a Pokemom and have kept up with new game releases ever since. In recent months, I (grudgingly) accepted the modern necessity that is a cell phone, though I stubbornly refer to it as a step counte...

Mama’s Boy
A whoop from above alerted Jacques to Gingko’s return. He appeared to be racing Minx. Or rather, the boy clinging to the panther’s back.
Jacques gasped at Minx’s clifftop leap.

Chapter 163: Rewritten
Kagome’s scent mingled pleasantly with the two bottles of shampoo she upended onto Shishi. Her purposefulness settled Sesshoumaru’s jangling nerves. Her happiness, a power unto itself. If only Kohaku would return.
His absence was a gap. A loss? No, ...

Royal Reception
Akira chattered at Suuzu, whose expression softened. Tsumiko laughed and kept correcting her brother’s pronunciation. Or something.
At a loss over the language as a whole, let alone nu...

Pent Up
“I am Suuzu Farroost. Akira is my… classmate.”
Jacques tried to do the thing Argent always did with his eyebrow. It must have worked a little. Suuzu’s gaze dropped. “Touch is unavoidable...
