Welcome ! This is an extremely private roleplay blog for a post - canon focused , heavily canon - divergent portrayal of Higurashi Kagome of Rumiko Takahashi’s Inuyasha : A Feudal Fairytale . This blog is primarily headcanon - based with heavy influences from the original manga and stage play .
in regards to canon : The anime’s portrayal of the love triangle and Kikyō does not exist here . Likewise , the Yashahime anime is not canon to this blog , though I will interact with muses from it so long as the concept of Rin and Sesshōmaru being involved romantically is mutually agreed to not be acknowledged . As a CSA survivor and someone who was groomed by a guardian , it's not okay .heavily affiliated with the portrayals of : fuyuhashi , tsukihanyo , sanguinumrosa
WARNING the inuyasha manga deals with heavy subject material that could be considered triggering to some . possible triggers include : swords , blades , vampirism , war , death , murder , blood / gore , terminal illness , racial prejudice , depression , suicidal ideations , self - harm , possession , mentions of imperialism , war , anti - foreign sentiments , and body - horror elements .

a very firm heads up because i have been told my main verse can seem daunting and puts off others within the fandom : please know that I do not expect any Inuyasha blogs that follow me to adhere to my canon , and I do offer verses that follow Inuyasha’s canon for them , but I welcome anyone who wants to take part in my canon to do so .Kagome is not all - powerful and I don’t expect her to be treated as such . Kagome herself is admittedly a force to be reckoned with , especially against those of yōkai descent , but she’s nothing more than an extremely durable human against anything else . Kagome’s true worth actually comes from who uses her power . She is merely a human version of the jewel , meaning that she actually serves to amplify others’ strengths and give them the power to make their wishes come true .
𝑹𝑬 : 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒔 & 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒚 .
This blog is extremely private and highly selective . This means that any interactions on my blog require we be mutual followers ; likewise , I am selective in what I respond to , meaning that I will not always answer every meme sent in or every starter that is written for me . This blog is very low activity for me , as it is not the only one that I run . I’m very slow . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 .
Kagome is a strictly plotting only muse . I don’t mind having spontaneous interactions with close friends or canon muses , but plotted threads will always have a priority for me . Plotting for me does not entail we have every aspect of our interaction discussed and determined , but simply that we have a scenario or direction in mind . I’ve learned that directionless threads tend to drop more easily than threads with a loose framework , and thus I’ve learned to prefer them . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒖𝒙 𝒑𝒂𝒔 .
The standard golden rules apply in terms of roleplay : godmodding , metagaming , and powerplaying are not acceptable whatsoever . If you cross that line in a thread and it wasn’t discussed beforehand during plotting , it’s very likely I’ll shoot you a DM before dropping the thread or asking you to rewrite your reply to me . I control my character , you control yours . You’ll get one polite message about this before I drop any pretense of future threads with you . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔 .
I will never force you to adhere to my headcanons regarding lore , your muse , or future / past events . They’re my headcanons , and I don’t expect anyone else to agree with them . Please don’t think you have to work around them if you don’t like them . Simply tell me up front you don’t want them acknowledged / part of our interactions and I’ll gladly do so . On the flip side , your headcanons are your own ! Please respect me if I disagree with them . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 & 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔 .
I tag everything as #trigger * , and while I have the set triggers that apply to these series and non - sexual nsfw tagged by default , I am also willing to tag custom triggers so long as you either list them in your rules or politely let me know to tag them . As for me , I ask that you tag the following : #clowns * , #gore * , and preferably any adultery plots as #adultery * . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒎 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒔 .
If you write Inuyasha / Sesshōmaru or Rin / Sesshōmaru , even if you tag it to high heaven , I have no interest in interacting with you . i apologise if you feel this is unfair , but This is non - negotiable . One is incest and the other gives off some major child - grooming vibes , and I am severely uncomfortable with people trying to justify either one of them to me . Likewise , any other ships that fall under incestuous , dubious consent , or downright rape - fetishizing will put you in the same category . After much thought , this includes Naraku / Kikyō . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒔 .
I by default prefer to use honourifics in my writing for my Japanese muses , but if a partner dictates that they would rather not , I understand . My logic is basically that honourifics play a key role in Japanese culture , especially in how you can more easily comprehend relationships between characters , and so I try to accurately use that when at all possible . Just because I prefer using honourifics does not mean I am comfortable intermingling English and Japanese into my replies . The only time you will ever see me using a Japanese phrase or term is if there is no English equivalent ( such as proper titles or objects ) for me to use . I don’t mind if my partners do , it’s just my personal preference .
𝑹𝑬 : 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒍𝒔 .
i have multiple muses that have become integral to my portrayal of kagome , both within my main blog canon and outside of it . i try to limit my canon character ties solely so people don't feel excluded in an already small fandom . if someone spends the time to help me build up my own personal canon and timeline , i'm inclined to interact with them over others simply because it shows they have interest in my writing! not to imply my partners who don't interact with it don't care , just that it makes me more excited and likely to have muse .affiliated portrayals :
fuyuhashi , tsukihanyo , sanguinumrosa 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏 𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 .
While most canon aspects of the various adaptations of source media I reference will be recognised in some form or fashion , and the core storyline will remain relatively unchanged , the bottom line of my writing is this : I follow the idea of Schrodinger’s Authour , meaning that Rumiko Takahashi’s intentions are important except for when I don’t like them . If this bothers you , I don’t care . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔 & 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 .
I have main and exclusive partners and am always open for discussing that status with my regular partners . In regards to romance , this blog is multi - ship but ship - exclusive . This means that while I may have multiple ships across my multiple verses , I will not ship with duplicates of a muse for my own sanity and organisation . I ship chemistry and only with friends , meaning that all ships and the possibility of them need to be both discussed and developed before anything happens . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 & 𝒖𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 .
I have been on this site long enough to have learned that I need to create a space that’s relaxing and enjoyable for me , because at the end of the day this is roleplay and it’s not that deep . If a hobby stresses me out more than my full - time job , it’s a bad hobby . I will unfollow , blacklist , soft - block , or hard - block whoever I feel I need to . This is not a slight toward anyone , but more just me making sure nothing I don’t want to see winds up on my dash . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒅𝒖𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 & 𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 .
I am a proud member of the Kagome Protection Squad and absolutely adore all of my duplicates ; that being said , I will not follow first to avoid triggering anyone’s anxiety . In terms of original characters , I tend to avoid those who : assume a familial relation to my muse , are essentially “x canon character , but better,” or are self - inserts . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆 & 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒂 .
We’re writing fictional characters over the internet . Drama isn’t the end of the world . Callouts should only be written if someone is an actual threat or you have actual proof of theft , not because you don’t like them or they're a duplicate . Commentary and reaction posts on drama should be tagged . Negativity should be tagged . As a CSA survivor , I have issues re: some people’s usage of the label “pedophile” or “pedophile apologist,” and so I try to stay away from discussions that aren’t clear cut ( like an adult sending minors nudes ) for my own mental health . 𝑹𝑬 : 𝒌𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊 𝒌𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒚 .
My name is Kas , I am currently 25+ and I use she / her and they / them pronouns ! My philosophy on this website is to just not take myself or others seriously , because at the end of the day we're playing barbes on the internet and it's nothing more than a hobby , ya feel ? That being said , I am quick to stand up for issues like racism , transphobia , and the romanticisation of subjects such as rape or self - harm . Don’t be a shitbag , y'all .

RACE Japanese, Human ( Augmented )
ZODIAC Taurus
GENDER Cis - female
SEXUALITY Pansexual
Kagome wishes on the shikōn just as she did in canon and wishes for it to disappear forever ; however , the shikōn is an artifact of such power that it cannot simply cease to be without rewriting history and erasing itself from ever having been created . Thus , all Kagome’s wish manages to do is destroy the host , not the deep well of power encased within — and thus it is her body that acts as the new host .

FEARS Being alone , the dark
MENTAL ILLNESSES Depression , PTSD
MBTI ESFJ
TEMPERAMENT Sanguine - Melancholic
NEGATIVES Naive , unpredictable
POSITIVES Trusting , empathetic
Kagome Higurashi was like any normal schoolgirl in modern - day Tokyo ; she was carefree and genuinely happy , with her worst worries centered around cute boys , the latest fashion , and passing math class . On her fifteenth birthday , she was pulled into a world completely unlike the one she’d always known … yet she kept relatively level - headed despite the sudden onslaught of yōkai targeting her , violence incited by her own fellow humans , and more death than she’d ever experienced in her life suddenly surrounding her . Kagome is a strong - willed person with bravery at her core .
Her heart is commented on several times for its purity , and she draws others to her like moths to a flame with her genuine kindness . Kagome is unforgiving of anyone who hurts others just for the fun of it , and of anyone that morally opposes her , but she isn’t necessarily against the belief that someone can change . Despite these positives to her character , Kagome is not without flaws : she is immature , given her age , and extremely hot - headed with a tendency to be self - destructively impulsive . She is reckless in her courage , always willing to throw herself into danger , and though she always apologises after , this behaviour can also lead to her hurting some feelings as well .
REIRYOKU
Kagome’s most well - attributed ability is the infinite amount of spiritual power hidden within her . Even before her powers became unsealed , Kagome was often remarked for being on par with her former incarnation , Kikyō , in terms of spiritual strength . However, as Kagome hasn’t been formally trained by anyone nearly as powerful as she , as of yet Kagome isn’t entirely sure what all she’s capable of doing with her power .REIKI PROJECTION
Kagome can concentrate her reiki into more than just her arrows , as she is shown to be able to channel it through the palms of her hands in an offensive manner and she is shown to be able to cocoon her entire body in reiki in times of extreme duress in a defensive manner .PURIFICATION
She is able to purify malevolent forces such as yōki and even Naraku's shōki by using her own reiki . Kagome’s aura is always purifying the yōki , smog , and other negative aspects around her on a much smaller scale , she is also capable of purifying creatures or objects with her reiki using her hands or her arrows . Midoriko was shown to be able to channel her reiki into a sword and it stands to reason that , if Kagome put forth the effort to learn how , she could do the same . Kagome’s abilities of purification are also shown to be able to heal injuries of yōkai origin , though in canon she is only shown to be able to heal and remove poisons from those wounds .REIKI REFLECTION
This is a defensive ability that mainly pertains for battles between miko , whether they be light - aligned or dark - aligned . This is an ability that Kikyō demonstrated during her lifetime that Kagome can instinctively use as well : essentially, if her opponent is less powerful than she is , Kagome can simply redirect her opponents reiki back at them without having to use any of her own , using their own attack against them.ARCHERY
While she had a rough start , Kagome has grown exponentially in her skill with the bow and arrow , showing herself to be an extremely competent marksman able to hit rapidly moving targets from great distances . The bow is her preferred choice in weapon , as it was initially the only one she trained herself in .REIKI TELEPORTATION
After receiving the Azusa - yama no Chōkyū , Kagome is shown to have the power to strike whatever target she sets her heart on no matter where it is or what interposes itself between them . It’s even shown that , if a hostage is held in place between Kagome and her target , she can make her arrow bypass the hostage and hit her enemy in their stead .
PASSIVE BARRIER IMMUNITY
Kagome has the innate ability to pass through most spiritual shields without any negative side - effects , even those put up by someone of Kikyō’s caliber .TIME TRAVEL
Kagome has the passive ability , originally granted to her by the shikōn and now a latent ability tied to her very soul , to activate the magic within the Bone - Eater’s Well and allow herself to travel between the years 1997 and 1497 . It seems , as the years go on , that the well’s magic has a consistent travel period of five - hundred years into the past or present , meaning that if Kagome were to jump into the well in the year 200 , she would appear back in the year 1500 .TIME DISPLACEMENT
Being that Kagome is not from the feudal era originally , the flow of her reiki seems to go against the flow of time itself , and once she wishes on the shikōn this becomes a permanent aspect of her reiki no matter what era she resides in . This makes her immune to any kind of time - based magic, especially any that attempts to speed or slow the flow of time .SOUL LINK
Kagome has been shown to have the ability to communicate telepathically with her former incarnation , Kikyō . Though the two of them always had this ability , it took them fully accepting and trusting in one another to actually use it , and even after Kikyō’s death Kagome can still hear her voice in times of need .TRUE SIGHT
Normal humans are normally damaged both physically and mentally simply by being near a large source of yōki , and thus they cannot go near or touch yōkai power sources without fear of losing their minds to the malevolence . Kagome’s reiki shields her from these negative effects , leaving her unaffected and allowing her to touch yōkai easily , nor does she succumb to the negative feelings their auras can inspire or to any illusions cast by yōkai . she is blissfully immune to the ill effects and possibly insanity - inducing auras of even those as powerful as gods , making her capable of standing against even those lauded and idolised as deities .Kagome has the ability to see and feel the auras around all living creatures , whether they be animal , human , or yōkai in nature . This is an ability that she had to actively work on , as Kagome’s ability to sense yōki was clearly strong even in the very beginning of the series, but with practise it becomes a very central piece of her arsenal . A side - effect of this is that Kagome is able to perceive or sense things that are otherwise normally undetectable to ordinary humans , such as ghosts or spirits .
This timeline covers the events of canon ( with the exception of Rumiko’s “everything happens within one school year” impossibility ) but is tied to my main verse , meaning it deviates after a certain point ! Please keep in mind that all of my main verse is subject to change depending on if I find any canon characters who want to participate in it ! If you have any questions , my IMs are always open !HEADS UP
Dates may appear wonky due to time travel shenanigans . It’s not that I’m bad at math , it’s just that Kagome pops between time periods a lot .

FULL NAME Higurashi Kagome
ALIAS == Shikōn Miko
== NICKNAMES Kacchan , Wench
AGE 17 ( physically )
RACE Human ( ascendant , changed by the shikōn ) RELATIONSHIP STATUS Single , romantically interested in Inuyasha. TIMELINE Post - canon , spans from 1546 - 2034
AVAILABILITY Open , main verse
LOCATIONS Mostly across Japan , though she travels everywhere she can . CANON DIVERGENCE Kagome wishes on the shikōn just as she did in canon and wishes for it to disappear ; however , the shikōn is something so powerful that it cannot simply cease to be without rewriting history and erasing itself from ever having been created . Thus , all Kagome’s wish manages to do is destroy the host , not the deep well of power encased with — and thus it is her body that acts as the new host .
Kagome Higurashi , known as the shikōn miko , made the fateful wish that she hoped would rid the world of the accursed jewel : I wish for you to disappear ! Forever !While her wish was pure of heart and in the right vein , neither Kagome nor anyone else realised just how powerful the shikōn truly was . Such a strong source of power could not simply disappear on a whim , not without Kagome having wished for it to go back in time and never exist in the first place , and so Kagome’s wish only managed to destroy the host and not the limitless power housed within . The shikōn’s power , without a container , sought to become housed in the only other host that it had ties to : Kagome’s own body , her soul , that which had housed it for fifteen years .After the jewel’s disappearance , Kagome was temporarily returned back to her side of the well , and she stayed there for nearly two years to complete her highschool career , reconnect with her family , and finally tell her grandfather the true ending of the shikōn legend . However , she missed her other family so much … and one day , as she leaned over the well and whispered as much to her seemingly lost friends , the well opened once again . Kagome returned to her other family , living on the side of the well that had steadily become her home , against all the odds . It seemed like happily ever after .Eventually , however , Kagome realised she was not aging .Though she despaired over the fact that she was steadily outliving her fellow human friends , the former traveling band of companions banded together once again to figure out why Kagome was no longer aging . Myōga suggested that perhaps Kagome could not age or die because she didn’t technically exist yet ; essentially , Kagome had become a paradox by staying nearly 500 years in the past before she was even born , let alone the year she fell down the well in the first place . Thus , Kagome and Inuyasha decided to look eagerly towards the year 2000 , hoping that she will resume aging and become normal again once the timeline has come full circle .Years later during a raid on their village , Kagome was cut down by a rogue yōkai with a mortal wound , but before everyone’s eyes the wound healed within a few moments . What should have killed her vanished in a pale glow of iridescent pink light , a light that everyone knew all too well , and it was with that flare of power that Inuyasha confirmed Kagome’s dread : her power had felt just like the shikōn , and it was because of that power that yōkai were becoming more and more drawn to their village . Distressed , Kagome began to break down , terrified that she was no longer even human , watching as her friends died around her and the world changed with the years while she stood untouched by time .The wish had been the right one … hadn’t it ?
verse notes
The ending is largely the same : Kagome does still get returned to her side of the well and stays to finish her last two years of high school , graduates , and eventually she returns to Inuyasha and her friends after seeing that the well is open again .This realisation that Kagome has become the shikōn’s new host does not come instantly . At first , Kagome and Inuyasha simply believe that the seal on her powers hadn’t fully broken until that moment , writing it off as Kagome simply unlocking the full potential she’d always had . It takes them several years , actually , for Inuyasha to realise that Kagome is not aging like Miroku and Sango , and several more for them to *begin forming theories on why that is *.Kagome did not go back to the feudal era just because she was in love with Inuyasha , nor do they immediately wind up together once she comes back . This is mostly because the loss of Kikyō is still fresh for Inuyasha and Kagome realises there’s so much more to see and do besides falling in love , and they decide to remain as friends initially . The two of them do , however , travel together in search of answers after realising something is wrong .Kagome is , for all intents and purposes , an immortal who does not seem capable of aging . She heals rapidly from all manners of injury and it seems as though she cannot die , but she’s not willing to test much of it within reason ; after all , the shikōn shards were capable of healing grave wounds at a steep price , so she’s not sure she wants to know the price of the jewel’s power bringing her back .The running theory that Myōga came up with is that Kagome cannot age or die because she does not technically exist yet ; essentially , Kagome has become a paradox by staying nearly 500 years in the past before she was even born , let alone the year she fell down the well in the first place . Thus , Kagome looks eagerly towards the year 2000 , hoping that she will resume aging and become normal again once the timeline has come full circle . Kagome does not resume aging even after 2000 , as she learns the hard way .

STATUS plotting only TIMELINE pre - canonBefore her fifteenth birthday , Higurashi Kagome was like any other girl — she went to school , hung out with her friends , did her weekend chores on the shrine grounds , and generally acted as a normal teenager was expected to . Her childhood was relatively conventional , with the only real occurrence worth note being the passing of her father , Higurashi Kenji , in a tragic accident shortly before her little brother’s birth . Other than crossing paths with a stranger , nothing else really sticks out about her childhood until the day she’d tumbled down the Bone Eater’s Well .
全体 act iii : whole .
STATUS open TIMELINE post - canonThe day the Bone Eater’s Well opened again , Kagome feared she was making a choice between her family in the present and the one she’d left in the past . She jumped into the well willingly , reuniting with the love of her life and her family , expecting to never see her mother again . Thankfully , for her sacrifices to save the world from itself , the Kami had felt generous for her sake , and Kagome resumed being able to freely travel through the well to visit her family on the other side . Staying at Inuyasha’s side as his mate , Kagome bridged past and present , living her own happily ever after .
骨折 act ii : fractured .
STATUS open TIMELINE during canonThe day she turned fifteen , Kagome’s entire life was turned upside down . Time travel through a magical well was not only apparently a thing , but yōkai were real as well ! It was just her luck that she wound up befriending a stubborn hanyō , a little kitsune she adopted as her own , a taijiya she’d come to see as her sister , and a lecherous hōshi . Not just that , though — oh , no , this schoolgirl not only saved the world , she changed it into something spectacular as well .and all while wearing her school uniform , too .
万有 x : general crossover .
STATUS open TIMELINE generalThis verse serves as my general crossover verse for Kagome . It can serve as a springboard for creating a verse down the line . The usual circumstances of Kagome meeting your muse will most likely revolve around the well malfunctioning or sending her to a different time / place than usual .it can also serve as a springboard for your muse to end up in the feudal era , and i usually place the events in the middle of inuyasha canon unless otherwise specified by my partner .

While spending her days maintaining the Higurashi shrine with for her grandfather , Kagome spends her nights studying . With an aspiring major of pediatric care , she needs as few distractions as she can get to get her degree — which , of course , means the universe throws every single distraction possible in her way . She just wants to take care of kids , but it’d seem the Kami have other plans for her .

STATUS plotting only TIMELINE main auAfter being cursed to become the living host of the shikōn’s power , Kagome falls victim to the wish of one with a malicious heart . Left defenseless against their selfish wish as she must grant it , Kagome is left at the mercy of her own curse and falls to darkness entirely . Lost within herself and unable to purify the taint left within her , Kagome is trapped as nothing more than an observer that wanders the earth as a limitless being of chaos , spiderwebs of darkness left in her wake .This collective of minds and wishes coalesces into a frayed consciousness calling itself Kanashibari ( 金縛り ) , that awful moment when waking from a nightmare in which one found oneself paralyzed , unable to move or speak .* This verse follows my main verse in terms of lore , but simply acts as a Bad End AU because I wanted a fun Eldritch Horror - God verse .
友情 au v : sunder .
