After discovering a strange new power had awoken in you (that you were sure to keep private) You and Lord Hitomi’s teams burned the bodies of the village and you parted ways to obtain Inuyashas birthright, the Tessaiga. Agreeing to his request, Kujo Keisuke follows you in order to get stronger so he can slay the bandit warlord Koga and avenge his son.

Your party, now four strong, sets down the path toward the mountains as the sun sets.

You raise your hand to shield your face from the sheen of the setting sun. The four of you have been on the road for only a few hours, but the days events are finally starting to get to you. Your backpack feels heavier than ever and you’re starting to drag your feet.

“Can… can we take a break?” you pant between half breaths, sweat beading off of your brow.

“Oh so tired so soon?” Yura coos, her hand clasped across her mouth.

Kujo looks up toward the sky and in the distance, the demolished village far in the distance. “I suppose this would be a good a time and place as any to break for camp…”

Setting off the path and into the fields, your party hastily work to set up camp before night falls.

The four of you sit around a roaring fire in silence, drinking a vaguely beef flavored broth with a little rice and a few vegetables found in the fields. As you sip, you notice Inuyasha trying to place a few leaves into the pot rather than his bowl. Grabbing hold of one of his fluffy canine ears and giving it a slight tug, he glares at you before “pocketing” the leaves. That boy will never learn…

The fire doused, and the four of you fed, you feel sleep rapidly approaching, however Yura seems as bubbly as ever and offers to take the first watch. While you’re still on the fence about her, you’re far too tired to really care. You swiftly drift into a deep sleep.

Something rouses you from your slumber, as you groggily open your eyes, the night slowly comes into focus. A thick blanket of fog covers the ground. You close your eyes and snuggle deeper into your meager sleeping roll, breathing deeply. As the moist air fills your lungs, you hear a single chiming of a bell in the distance.

Your eyes snap open and you jolt upright. The sluggishness of sleep having evaporated in an instant. Looking toward the path, you see a feint glow of a lantern deep in the fog. Looking around the campsite you see that Yura is still tending the fires, however the flame seems duller than it did when you went to sleep.

A man stands next to a tree, looking at the path. You squint, but you can’t quite make out who it is…

You rub your eyes as they work to focus. You reexamine the sleeping mats on the ground and notice Inuyasha sprawled out, his sheets barely covering him with his mouth wide open. He shifts occasionally, throwing off more. You immediately realize he sleeps in the buff and avert your eyes as blood rushes to your face.

Collecting yourself with deep breaths and a hand fanning, you make the logical deduction that it must be Kujo. Adjusting your pajamas you get up and stand next to him. One of his hands placed firmly on the trunk of the tree, his unblinking eyes don’t break the horizon where the small beacon of light bobs up and down.

“What are you doing up so late?” You yawn as you stretch your arms.

He says nothing, but remains transfixed on the distance.

You nervously rub your arm “So… about today… I’m not very good at this sort of thing, but if you need to talk…”

The bell rings again, sending a shiver up your spine. “What in the world is that?”

“You haven’t noticed? Mind your surroundings Lady… what do you see?” he replies with a hoarse cracking voice.

“Well, trees… fog. Lots of f-“

“No. What do you SEE?”

“…a… man who’s hurt and alone?”

Kujo sighs and puts his free hand against his temples “No. No. No. See. What do you SEE?”

He stops you before you can speak again “… … … have you noticed… the leaves from this tree are gone? That the flame has lost its luster? That there isn’t a single sound even in the dead of night?” He flicks a small pebble at Yura who doesn’t respond.

You pause in thought “Now that you mention it, ya this is a little weird…”

A bell rings in the distance again. Kujo smiles and begins walking forward toward the light. “Lady Kagome… wouldn’t you like to see how this story unfolds?” he grins.

You grit your teeth before taking off after Kujo. You really need to nip this sort of thing in the bud or otherwise he’s going to get himself killed.

You open your mouth to tell him off, but he simply holds up a hand. You scowl as hard as you’ve ever scowled before, burning an imaginary hole through the back of his head. The nerve! On the other hand, maybe this is some sort of coping mechanism? You’re not given too much time for thought as the two of you quickly find yourselves on the path heading back the way you came earlier.

The once feint glow becomes brighter, in the distance you can see and hear a wooden cart traveling slowly down the road. A light source high above it, most likely a lantern, swings gently back and forth.

The bell chimes again.

Kujo begins picking up his pace, however you grab him by the scruff of the neck and pull him back, not eager to tempt fate especially when you’re unarmed… save that one technique you picked up earlier in the day… you make a mental note to see a Monk or Shrine Maiden about that when you get the chance. No telling when or if it could ever go off on its own.

The two of you hang back, trying to keep quiet so as not to alert whoever’s dragging the cart. It seems like whoever it is Is headed toward the village you were just at for sure.

The bell rings again, louder than before. Almost defining.

Before you know it, the tall wooden walls of the village you were at earlier in the day loom over you. The bell rings one last time as the cart stops. The lantern violently rocks back and forth before dropping almost to the ground.

In the silence you hear feet shuffle about on dirt and the clanging of metal. The scraping of earth fills your ears. A robber?

You kneel and move in closer, keeping behind the ruins of an old burned building. Through the fog you can make out a small person about as high as your waist using what seems to be a very long shovel. It starts mumbling to itself in a harsh scratchy voice before finally speaking.

“What is he that builds stronger than either the mason, the shipwright, or the carpenter?” It chuckles to itself “Tis the gallows-maker, for that frame outlives a thousand tenants.” It chuckles to itself again, its voice having a feint and distant echo.

It kneels down and behind brushing something off. “Dreadful! Simply dreadful! Woe to those who fall by the masters hands and are laid to rest by the flame… tragedy. Tragedy!”

The figure reaches in the ground and pulls out what appears to be the rest of an intact skeleton somehow and gingerly places it on a matt of some kind before rolling it up and sliding it into its cart before returning to its lantern and spade.

You nervously eye Kujo who’s transfixed on the small man-creature. You gesture for him to come closer and he shuffles next to you.

“What the hell IS that thing?” you whisper
“I’m not sure… it looks like some kind of gravekeeper, but what’s it saying?” he ponders, rubbing his chin.

You open your mouth to talk, but pause… was that thing speaking English? You hadn’t even realized it before and your grasp of the language is tenuous at best… but ya that wasn’t Japanese…

“Ok look. First you need to not do this whole rush into things crap. I’m not getting killed for your mid-life crisis.”

Kujo raises an eyebrow, but you wave him off and continue “So since we’re here and you drug us into this… what’s your call?”

The man pauses for a moment, the scraping of earth filling the deadly silent night. “The smart thing would be to leave… but I don’t think I can stand by while whatever that is defiles all of these graves.”

You swallow the limp in your throat and step out into the open, gradually approaching the pint-sized worker wrapped in a tattered hooded cloak as it rolls up another pile of remains.

“E-excuse me?”

The digger continues about his task and begins humming a tune, its voice still mysteriously echoing.

“Excuse me… hey! Hello!” It feels like you’re shouting, but it’s only a dull whisper, however it catches its attention. “Oh what have we here? A foreigner… Lets see lets see…” it responds, pulling out a long roll of yellowed parchment from its robes. With it’s wrinkled and bony hands.

“no… no… I am sorry spirit, but this journey is not for you to take…” It adds in perfect Japanese as it goes back to digging at another gravesite.

“Wait, spirit? Am…” a cold shiver races through you… you both died in your sleep… “d-d-“

“Dead? Oh heavens. Oh heavens. Oh my. Oh no. No. No. No… well… yes… but no…”

“Can you maybe explain?” You jump as Kujos voice cuts the brief pause in your conversation. The creature sighs as it throws another wrapping into its cart.

“Difficult to explain. Difficult to explain… you are both two who have crossed the threshold of death.” It heaves another shovelful of loose soil aside with its shovel “My my, the spirits are restless tonight… so much work. So much work now that the master is gone…”

“The… master?”

“Aye! The master! King of…” the creature stops and goes back to work, quickening its pace. “No I mustn’t. Mustn’t Mustn’t.”

“Hey now you can’t just tell is we’re dead and leave it like that!” you huff.

“No no. Not dead! Not dead!” It squeaks as it places another roll in its cart. “Impatient! Impatient! Those that have passed, but still walk among the living are drawn to me. To the bell. Through the mists… Only the dead can see…” Its shovel clacks on a bone and it kneels over hurriedly using its hands to dig “That is how the Master made me…”

“The master?”

“Yes yes. The Master… The master…”. The tiny apparition places two more bodies in the cart. “We mustn’t speak of the Master. Poor poor Master… Taken away…”

You take a moment to think about the past day in depth… that Fly guy… was he this things master? They both speak strange languages and talk funny… “Mr. Grave Digger… where was your master from?”

The creature pauses for a moment and looks up to the moon before wistfully holding its four-fingered hand out, reminiscing; “Across the seas… across the oceans… where the Master and the C- OH! OH! NONONO! Tricksy Tricksy Tricksy spirits!” it shouts, wagging its finger at you. “Good servant. Good thrall!” It shouts as it goes back to digging, even faster than before.

“What’s a Thrall?”

“Well” you say, trying to remember an old pointless history lesson, “A Thrall is sort of like a kugutsu or demon puppet. A stronger sorcerer makes them and uses them for things.” How can you remember that crap, but not who your last Prime Minister was?

You think you might be able to press this… thing about one last detail before you wear out your welcome entirely.

“So… How do we get back to the land of the living spirit?” Kujo asks, stepping forward.

“When the time is right… when the time is right. The sun shall rise and the witching hour shall end and the spirits will rest again.”

The thrall wraps up yet another body and places it in the cart. Its lantern beginning to dim. A question lurks at the back of your mind. Itching against your consciousness like a roach trapped under a glass. You have no idea just WHERE you are or WHEN you are. Are you in an alternate reality? The past? Future? A combination? You have so many questions to ask, but the one that sticks out the most is just what the hell was that thing in the village and who this is servant… You’ve asked several different ways, but each time yu yielded nothing. Time to try and force the issue in a slightly different way.

“Mr. Grave Digger…” you ask in your silkiest voice “Please, would you be so kind as to tell us you and your masters business in this land? Surely the dead are free to gossip…”

The thrall pauses its shoveling motion and plants the spade in the dirt. “I suppose… I suppose with Master gone it matters not what happens to the servant. Dreadful day. Dreadful. What should become of his servant now that Master is gone… Master was asked to search for someone in this land. A Naraku.”

“Naraku? You blink, “What about the others? Who asked him to look for Naraku and why is he so important?”

“I dare not speak their names… No! Spirit! Tricky spirit! Good servant… They watch. Always watch.”

A chorus of buzzing fills your ears as if from the earth itself. Swirling around you like ichor.”The Coven.” “the coven.” “THE COVEN.” “The Coven.”.

You collapse to your knees, your hands over your ears as the sun crests over the horizon, The fog twists and contorts as if caught in a whirlwind. The image of a hood filled with a sparkling blue abyss etches itself into your mind somehow. The Thrall holds its hands in front of its unseen face as its flesh and cloak peel away like paper in the suns onslaught until it and its cart are no more. “The Coven…”

In the distance stands a man in white robes.

You jolt awake in a cold sweat. Back at your camp and in the dead of night, catching Yuras attention. ”THE COVEN.”

As usual I’ll stick around for a little while to answer any questions you may have.

Oh yeah, forgot about the whole "not knowing when we are" thing. But at least we now "know" know some of the big bad guys.

If we manage to bump into Miroku, he'll be able to info-dump us about Naraku, given their shared history (or rather, the monk's family history with Naraku)

I wonder if the Coven will have characters similar to the Band of Seven?... Or Arrancar, or whatever.

Probably a safe bet. In the last interlude we had about the Lord of Flies or whatever it was hinted at that Naraku is similar to them in some regards with the whole "another one of us was born" line or whatever it was.

>>34973274
If we linger too long, there's no doubt we'll meet Daper Murder Bro. As for Koga though, knows? We haven't seen any signs of him at all since the village and even then we don't know how long that's been.

>>34973274
>>34973615
Yep that was probably Sessomeru we saw in our vision before we woke up.

>>34973615
Koga also lacks shards in his legs at the moment. He'd be pretty un-impressive to find I think.

So... anyone else want Kagome to use the power of the jewel to the point of becoming a demon? Personally think that would be pretty neat.

>>34973942
Nah
That'd be boring, and why would we want it in character?

>>34973987
Well I'm believing that's where the frost attack we saw came from. Using one of the four souls of the gem. We're probably going to need the power to handle the situations coming up and I'm not seeing anything too negative.

Inuyasha is a demon and he seems legit.

>>34974016
The power is rubbing off on Kagome inadvertently. As you say with the ice strike situation.

But unless we start murder hoboing or harboring dark thoughts I don't think we've got to worry about the demon aspect of things.

>>34974016
Inuyasha's half demon-when he goes full demon he's about as bad as the paranoid anon with bad grammar thinks he is.

and I'm not against getting power from the gem, just using it to become a demon.
plus, since the gem is actually the most evil being in the setting, it'll just fuck us over

>>34973924
He lacks shards sure, but he still has a godamn demon army.

>>34974075
>>34973987
We do have that inner darkness rot power. No idea how or if it's affected the Jewel. And if it still functions like in the show, if we start getting a little edgy the jewel will darken and most likely start to corrupt us.

The question is that if the jewel is extracted, will we still have our powers?

>>34974351
I hope so. That or it becomes a quest to recover OUR SHARDS! Instead of putting them in a damn bottle we shove them right back into our.. left kidney was it? Or do we tactically locate them all over to ensure maximum coverage in case of damage?

>>34974350
He only flips out and goes "full demon" when he's close to death or it's the full moon right?

As for Grammar-Anon, I miss him. The thread last night was pretty quiet. Hope folks get the message the quest is back. I've missed reading it and hanging out with you guys.

>>34974401
he only goes full demon if Tessaiga breaks and he's close to death
and yeah, I miss everyone else too, but I think they'll be back

>>34974401
It clearly won't fuck us over... we've been with it for years! It's not a thing it's a tool. Getting powers from the gem at least as far as I understand it... is getting demonic powers. It's.. made of demons.

>>34974350
I'm totally new and have sporadic knowledge of Inuyasha. Looking forward to stupid arguments over basic decisions with you.

I'm just glad Kagome under /tg/ is arming and armoring herself and kicking ass.

Also anyone know if Kagome has noticed the, "If I wreck someones shit suddenly my cuts and bruises diminish of not disappear all together?

I'm really just wait for when and if the organization back in our time shows up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0rkfT6R4pM&list=PLWnWUfFVzVcfztLCGCp-VmouzWhzeI1jc&index=74
(show is trash after it gets past the manga, but the music is god-tier)

Shit will get very VERY real.
In fact, the fact we haven't heard anything from them in so long concerns me.

>>34974471
So long is subjective. We're only at thread 17. My guess is they'll start sending OPS teams or singular agents through the well to lock Kagome down.

Full on shadow run is that they'll have some sort of device that drags Kagome back to the well.

I think we're all missing something very important here.

Kujo died at some point. We did too, although it was obviously that bullet barrage from way back.

We don't know how Kujo died though or even if that was really him in our dream... or if it was a dream.

>>34974471
What makes you think some of them aren't already here? If our shop keeper and Snow's favoritism for Aizan pics are any clue... We're guarding one of their ex-operatives.

>>34974515

The jewel can bring back the dead if I remember correctly.

>>34974532
So if someone takes it from Kagome she drops dead?

>>34974555
That is... a very good question.

>>34974501
What if our grandfather is/was an agent?

>>34974593
It might just be the re-incarnation aspect rather than SHE'S DEAAAAAD!

Tactical ops Grandpa would... be interesting.

>>34974501
The real question is will guns actually be effective against non-mooks in a sword and sorcery setting.

>>34974637
Yes. Innuyasha has been injured by arrows. I'm willing to believe that 5.56 and 7.62 will put his ass down with a headshot. Doubly so if someone blesses the ammunition.

>>34974652
>Sacred Sutras on a minigun
Please lord god yes. Then no. VERY no.

>Quest gets a sudden burst of activity well after it's over.
Love it. It's like the audience of a play convening at the intermission and discussing things. Brilliant.

>Kujo
We know he has probably died at some point, but we know nothing of his past. He's either a red herring, or someone very powerful. He's not a member of the Future Force or whatever though since we met him well before we ran into them.

>Yura
Another character that may as well be OC at this point. Interested to see what Snow will do with her. Hell maybe she's a plant by Naraku or something.

>Inuyasha
We never got to learn about his post childhood life in the show or manga really. Interested to see if Snow has anything planned. Perhaps we can pick at this the next time we talk to him.

>Koga
Still an asshole, but an asshole with an army. We don't know where he is or what his motivations were for attacking that village.

>Ayame
We've "seen" her in an interlude. She's out and about looking for Koga. I imagine we'll run into her soonish. Then we have to deal with /tg/ trying to make Kagome and Ayame lesbians probably.

>Miroku
Getting drunk and fucked in a city which shouldn't exist in this time period. It'll probably be a long time before we meet him if we even do.

>Sango
Probably tracking Koga at this point. She is going to murder all of us when we meet.

>Shippo
Hopefully dead and rotting back in the woods.

>Sessomeru
Hot on our heels. We need to get moving STAT. What are the odds Snow will flip the brothers swords?

>Not!Naraku
That lord we met uses We and Us instead of I and Me. Suspect.

>The Coven
Group of people like Naraku. Whatever that means. Probably a European version of the patriots or Illuminati.

>Future Present Organization
These guys scare the hell out of me for obvious reasons and if they find a way through the portal life is going to become dangerous.
Thoughts and theories?

>>34974888
And I say that about Miroku because I don't think there was such a thing as cities in the 1500's in Japan and he says that he'll own the city or something in his interlude. I think.

Also we need to try talking to our not!zanpakuto at some point.

>>34974888
good theories
>Ayame
I actually don't think we're going to have that issue. Most people have been in support of Inuyasha and Kagome getting together
>Sesshomaru
That could be really cool, but I doubt it. Tenseiga's a pretty boring weapon, while Tessaiga actually has a bit of personality
>Shippo
hue

>>34974936
my Jpanese history is pretty shit, but Kyoto at least was a pretty big city, wasn't it?

>>34974971
Save or slay 1000 souls with a single swing. Come on.

But ya, that would be pretty dull if he got that since no one would ever have to worry about dying and he could theoretically just oneshot everything.

His normal sword gets to catch demon powers. He's like a Pokemon trainer. Except the pokemon are powers and the pokeball is murder.

>>34975030
tenseiga only does the saving, and it only works once.

The big thing that'd make swapping them boring is the lesson they're supposed to teach.
Tenseiga only works with a compassionate person, which Sesshomaru isn't. Inuyasha, weirdly enough, actually cares about other people a lot.

Tessaiga, on the other hand, can only draw out its full power when used to protect something. Inuyasha's used to fighting for his own sake, meaning he has to learn its ok to trust other people. That wouldn't work on Sesshomaru because he's so ungodly powerful he can just use Tessaiga anyway

>>34974888
What if the anti-demon guys and the coven are the same people?

When we kill Koga, will Ayame lose her shit?

>>34975193
So switching them would really only gimp Sesshomaru because he isn't part human (making it impossible to use the sword) and he has no interest in protecting things.

Meanwhile Inuyasha pretty ,much gets full and immediate access to the Tenseiga due to his core personality.

>>34974936
Most of the cities in Japan have about as much history as any European city. Except Tokyo, which started off as simple little Edo Castle during the Sengoku era.

There could be a few others that are fairly new, but if you've heard of it, it's most likely old.

No matter what, can we all agree that Inuyasha and us need more combat training?

While I'd like to train him in almost any style of kung-fu our only option is probably the lock and stock Samurai Arts.

The trick is trying to find a master who will take us under his wing for a brief period of time.

>>34975446
Huh.
Not him, but I suppose that makes sense in a way. I was always under the impression that the countries infrastructure didn't really start developing until the 1700's when the country had been unified or whatever.

>>34964108
Or if we get him to go full demon; Alucard with swords.

I really want to see him not lose another fight that badly. Brutal.

Imagine if he had a little technique rather than just swinging around a sword like he's chopping wood, hoping he hits.
Hell the only reason he beat so many enemies was because of his brute strength and his range attack. If he ever fought someone who really knew what they were doing he'd get annihilated.

>>34976021
He reminds me of kenpachi a bit. Damn powerful, can take more hits than even someone of his power level reasonably should be, but absolutely no technique. But give them basic fighting knowledge and they start fucking things up

>>34976768
In a small way I can see that. He's nowhere near eager enough to fight to be Kenny though.
I would shamelessly lose my godamn mind in hype if his ultimate power up is just him taking a breath and sliding his foot backwards into a proper stance though.

>>34976808
>>34976768
>Windscar
Yes please.

so what I'm seeing is that after we accidentally make him sad when talking about his past a little more, we lighten the mood by sparring and correcting his stance a little bit. When we get into a fight with Koga (I think he's vaguely near this mountain range, but distance was pretty relative in the show) Inuyasha bisects him with a basic kendo move

>>34977082
Are we really the best to teach him how to fight? We had a single afternoon of basic training and that's it.

He's been alive for at least as long as we have and in an environment where violence and power is law. It would be pretty condescending for us to think we could teach him how to fight.

As for the mountains, that's where Ayame hailed from I think. Koga was more of a field and plains guy, but its been a while so I could be wrong.

>>34977224
he's an amazingly good brawler, but he's never had any training with weapons. His claws can rip through steel beams when he goes to the modern era, so anything other than Tessaiga's really a step down

>>34977292
That's fine and all, but we're still pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to fighting ourselves. The point I'm trying to get across is that we're not really suited to teach him anything.

>>34977386
probably true, but the basic shit we learned in an afternoon is massively better than anything Inuyasha knows when it comes to fighting with weapons

>>34977455
How about the next time we find a trainer we get him too join us

>>34977527
Probably a good idea. Might be a while though.

>>34977455
Decent enough point.

>>34977455
>>34977665
Getting Inuyasha to join into daily morning combat exercises. Sounds like it could also be great for some comedy.

Or a scene from a romcom

>>34978677
I honestly can't wait for the first time we kiss.
...if we ever do...

>>34978792
I personally think he already deserves a forehead kiss at the very least

>Wanting to try and force ourselves right into romance rather than being tsunder with each other for another dozen years.

>>34979121
>wanting to be tsunshit with each other for years instead of letting the relationship progress naturally

>>34979160
It took a pretty long while for him to warm up to Kikyo didn't it?

>>34979160
>Not recognizing blatant sarcasm

>>34979241
Yes, but they never really showed much blatant affection for each other until Inuyasha gave her his mothers watermelon and clam scented lipbalm.

>>34979121
>>34979160
Wanting Dog Boy...

Guys.. Miroku or.. hell Yuria I'd love to see how complicated that relationship would be.

>>34979327
Sango and Miroku make a better couple, and Yura doesn't seem like the relationship type

Plus, Inuyasha is a god-tier husbando

>>34979402
How? He's loud, rude, has a terrible grasp of grammar. I also don't like the sense of him being interested in the first place because Kagome is the reincarnation of his previous flame.

>>34979327
"She's just into you for your hair man"

>>34979402
If we somehow befriend her, i'm not so sure she'll be keen on the monk. She seems pretty hardcore this go around.

>>34979443
The whole saving us when we were shot thing and generally being a lovable oaf. He's strong headed, arrogant, and a moron; but he's got heart and fire.

It's a charm that's hard to explain. At least for me. Then again he was my first crsh.

>>34979327
Or instead of figuring out who too be the love interest we could go out and kill more daemons also still want too a Kanabō and start playing baseball with some heads

>>34979443
Of course he's reading romantic incorrect he was orphaned elect each 5 in Warring States era Japan
Like a feudal peter quilt that everyone wants to kill

>>34979824
I'm sold. Romance the Kanabo.

>>34979986
Ehh I'm just worried about being to stuck on dog boy. We're clearly not rolling with the same Kagome of the original series and I'd hate to be stuck in relationship early on.

>>34980019

We can be a strong independent Kagome who don't need no committed lovey dubby romance but ain't afraid to go after wut she wants.

Mhmm

>>34980376
See what I want is for Kagome to basically intimidate Inuyasha into not being indecisive, all while kicking the shit out of demons

>>34980376
>>34980412
If he doesn't pussy foot around I suppose I could support the relationship. But if he sticks to his old ways I really could care less. Kanabo All day Erry day or well whoever else would step up to the plate.

>>34980453
>or well whoever else would step up to the plate.
No anon, that way leads to Koga and his pencil dick

>>34980519

Koga may step up but he'll get shut down. We'll just crush him with the Zankanabo.

>>34980519
>>34980519
I highly doubt thatt eeven if Koga is interested in us thatit we'll share even a fraction of his feelings.
especially after we see him gut kujo after a suicided rush.

>>34980677
Step one kill Koga. Step two establish martial superiority over Inuyasha.

What next?

>>34981183
Kill grave bitch before she rezzes kikyo

>>34981183
become chieftain of the wolf demon clan, thus giving us access to as much D as we could ever want while not having to deal with Koga's pencil dick? gotta remember, Kagome a slut.

>>34981379
Grave bitch..... It's been too long since I've seen the series... I can almost remember it...

>>34981419
Sounds good. Kagome Chieftain of the wolf demon tribes. War lord route is go.

>>34981439
I'm fine with becoming chief after obliterating Koga, but I don't think we should whore ourselves out to the pack. They're all weaker than Koga, and therefore bad potential for good sex

>>34981761
I said nothing about whoring Kagome out.. I have no idea where that is coming from.

I just want an army of demons.

>>34981420
Oh yeah that's right some which revived her for... some reason
>>34981439

>>34981914
>blander than khaki pants and white wallpaper
Nah dude
Nah

>>34981983
I was kind of hoping we go for a band of seven type thing but I guess that could work.

That'd be a lot of targets pain on her back though.

>>34982246
Doesn't band of seven already exist? I don't remember all the members other than that gay guy who I straight up thought was a chick until Innuyasha freaked out.

>>34982274
Let me say this again as someone who has never watch it this show is weird

>>34982274
There were, but they're long dead now.

>>34982424
Yes. Yes it is...

>>34982246
Anon, why not both? Massive army of demons lead by extremely powerful individuals

>Always fun when post-quest chatter is as long or longer than the quest especially when you guys get to theories and concepts. See you guys next week!

Well that's unusual.

>>34983716
this was an unusual episode

>>34983833
Eh, not really from what we've seen so far. Seemed like filler that ended up actually dropping a decent plot thread.

>>34983716
QM said "See you next week."
Clearly our thredcromancy has failed.

>>34983876
I meant that we had a lot more participation after the quest actually ended

>>34983883
He said that last night too.

>>34983893
Very true. Think a lot of people missed the grand re-opening and stopped by on /tg/ and were left wanting to talk about it, but had missed the actual run.

I know but I had somehow convinced myself next thread was tomorrow.
