Mood Stripes 119: Hidden
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the commanding one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 119: Hidden
Sesshoumaru wasn’t entirely surprised when Kagome blurted a spirited, “But that’s perfect! There’s plenty of room!”
The taijiya siblings exchanged a long look and a brief nod, and the woman began, “My brother and I come from a hidden village. It’s…...
LMM 96: In Need of Breakfast
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 must have been tucked in.
Chapter Ninety-Six: In Need of Breakfast
Jacques woke alone in Deece’s bed, stomach growling. Pilfering a clean tunic, he crept to his own room, startled to find it still morning—...

Mood Stripes 118: Perturbed
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one with much to offer. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 118: Perturbed
“There is something I can do?”
Sesshoumaru could feel the intensity of Kohaku’s focus like a touch. He hated this… this alteration. Some power outside himself had tampered with his perception. Sesshoumaru was displeased with the Jewel for...

Mood Stripes 117: Blind
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the clear-sighted one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 117: Blind
They were missing the point. Sesshoumaru fidgeted through the taijiya’s battle plans and the monk’s barrier plans. So focused on the stirrings of danger. So blind to something much more basic. This is no place for children.
Suddenly, Kagome was at...

Mood Stripes 116: Captivating
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one who’s made an impression. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 116: Captivating
Dark and sickly greens. They did apply here, but not in the usual way. Sesshoumaru wasn’t in pain. This dread wasn’t for himself.
Kagome pressed a hand to her heart.
While she wasn’t blind to the hardships of the Sengoku Jidai,...
LMM 95: Uncles and Nephews
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 honorary one.
Chapter Ninety-Five: Uncles and Nephews
Jacques supposed he was there to translate. Or because of the arrangement with Gilen’s human father. An honorary uncle. Yes. Quite.
“ … try it with Deece.” After a...

Mood Stripes 115: Unobtrusive
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the quiet one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 115: Unobtrusive
Miroku offered their services, and Sango outlined a plan. But Kagome was more interested in what was happening away from the limelight.
Sesshoumaru unobtrusively pressed his portion of stew on Kohaku. Not for the first time. And not to be rude to...

LMM 94: Feline Courtesies
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 considerate one.
Chapter Ninety-Four: Feline Courtesies
Pushing unsteadily onto his knees, Jacques was knocked back by Gilen’s arrival. The half-tiger was happy and vaguely sticky. Jam? Syrup? What had he—and his dearly...
