Hope is the Thing with Feathers by technoelfie (I wish she'd update this stunningly awesome fic!)

"Crete and Arcadia," Sesshoumaru said. "Congratulations on your divinity."

"Wait, what?"

Her exclamation was met with an irritated snort. "Really, miko, at least attempt to keep up," he demanded. "The jewel made you into a goddess. There was a chance you might have turned into something entirely different—if you had, it would have been my responsibility and my privilege to end your life before you could do any serious harm."

"So what, you laid out traps in here to find out whether I was one or the other?"

"Something like that," Sesshoumaru conceded. He had done no such thing, had not expected her to manifest so early. Still, it paid to leave people in awe of you, so he did not correct her.

AND from the same story

"That depends."

"On what?"

"On what you are a goddess of."

Okay, that made sense too. "Do you know?"

"Not at the moment, though I could hazard several guesses."

"Like what?"

"Inappropriate inquisitiveness maybe," he suggested. "Or immature snits. It is too early to say."

"So you're saying that I could be the goddess of lost socks for all you know."

"That would be amusing," Sesshoumaru conceded.

"That's very helpful. Inappropriate inquisitiveness? Really?"

"Inappropriate cheerfulness is also a contender," he said.

Sorry, sorry... another from Tales From the House of Moon...

Still, neither revelation number one nor revelation number two were nearly so exasperating as revelation number three, which was that he could almost hear his father informing him of his thoughts concerning this turn of events.

There was nothing in the world, Sesshoumaru decided, quite like hearing the voice of one's dead father gleefully chanting, "I told you so, I told you so!" over and over in one's head.

And this one comes illustrated!!!

'Bite Me' by Tallymark, is just brilliant, and here's my favourite piece from it. I mean seriously who wouldn't want to be in Kagome's situation?

“Well, ah…” Why did her voice sound so breathy? “…That…could work…but…” Her voice firmed. “But there’s a hole in your crazy plan. I have to bathe, you know.” Frustrated and confused by the madly darting butterflies in her stomach, she huffed, “Just what do you plan to do? Come back and lick me again every day?”

He didn’t answer.

“Sesshoumaru?” He was still holding up her wrist, and he was just…staring at it. Wearing the strangest look on his face. “Sesshoumaru?” she asked again. “Are you…are you okay?”

As she looked on, he carefully turned her hand over, and slowly, so slowly, brought it back up to his lips. They were warm and butterfly-soft against her skin, and the storm of butterflies inside her went wild, swirling about like some kind of crazed mating flight, and then he dragged his tongue over her palm and she nearly died.

He paused again, his eyes fixated on her skin with a look akin to wonder.

“S-sesshoumaru?” she somehow squeaked out.

“Hmm,” he said in answer, and then the wonder melted into a smirk and he resumed lapping at her arm with the fervor of…well, of a dog with a new treat. “I think,” he said in a rumbling voice as he nibbled down her forearm, “that this arrangement will work out very well.”

Strangely, I don't have a lot of quotes saved from Sess/Kag fics, which makes me sad since I know I've missed saving some awesome quotes! But I do have a couple gems.

Tease by Resmiranda

Hair, she thought. Stupid hair! Why can't my hair look like this? She travels around with a dragon and an imp and is being raised by a guy whose major occupation is practicing his angry face, and she still manages to be adorable and well groomed and have great hair. This is so unfair! What am I doing wrong?

and

When Rin was at last out of sight, Kagome bit her lip and turned around. She took comfort in the fact that Sesshoumaru probably wasn't going to kill her, but that solace was pretty much voided by the dread of what he might do instead.
Awful things. Horrible things. Things too terrible to imagine, as evidenced by the fact that she couldn't imagine them.

Close Encounters of the Fluffy Kind by KogasAngel
Kagome nodded. She could understand his position. An heir that was produced between them would inherit its father’s strength and demon blood while inheriting her miko power. Hopefully, it would also inherit her personality. His personality sucked.


The Lucky Ones by Terri Botta (Inu/Kag)
I think I’m too young for this conversation.
Someday you’ll understand, Shippou.
I understand now.

and

With the advent of fertility treatments and advanced obstetrics, eyes once again turned to the hanyous as the hope of the youkai bloodlines, and Inuyasha was one of the first hanyous to present himself for study on why he was unable to father his own pup. As it turned out, while low sperm count was a problem, Inuyasha did possess sperm that should have been viable. The issue was that they had no sense of direction, or as the youkai fertility doctor put it: "The wigglies need a road map and some sex education."
When put in a Petri dish with a viable egg, the sperm just wandered around aimlessly, bumping into the egg every now and then but pretty much ignoring it. Kagome likened them to his sword style, "Just keep swinging it around and eventually you'll hit something."

Utter Doom by Tallymark. Here's another favourite piece:


“And with this Sesshoumaru, maximum pleasure is a given,” he tossed over his shoulder. His voice dropped a delicious octave. “Always.”

He then stalked off into the night, his pale, luminescent figure etched sharply against the dark trees. She watched him, transfixed, her heart pounding. It wasn’t until he had almost vanished from sight that he spoke again one more time, voice drifting back out of the darkness.

“No instructions required. Unless you wish to give them. Think about my offer, miko.”

And then she was alone.

Kagome sank to her knees and clutched the grass with her fingers. She could hardly breathe.

She felt strangely electric. Bizarrely, wildly, thrillingly alive. She had never felt like this before—no one had ever looked at her like that before. With eyes like a sultry summer night, filled with promises.

If all men looked at women like that, she thought, flushing, the world wouldn’t need vibrators anymore.

Several of my favorite quotes have already been listed here in this thread.

Another one from the amazing "Of Gods and Demons" by the talented ToWriteLoveOnAPage:


"You're kind of a jerk," Kagome mumbled and subconsciously pulled her skirt down just a little farther, "even if you are really a god."

The man arched a brow, "You doubt me?"

"I once met a water god," she said, making air quotes around the word. "Turns out he was just some creepy snake with ambition problems. Excuse me for being a little skeptical."



And another one I just thought of, the entire fic had me rolling with laughter. "Illusions of Grandeur" by the incomparable LC Rose.


"Well, there's always next time. We can get him then," the voices said with glee in his mind.

"Never. This Sesshoumaru shall never indulge."

"HAHAHAHA!" they laughed uproariously. "Never is a long time, dog boy."

"Yeah and you're one horny puppy."

"Hey, can we kick the toad now? That'd be fun, too."

"Oh yeah! And then the miko will see and be impressed by our might…"

This is from the fanfic Unspoiled by forthright~

“Katashi said the dragons will be here.”

“Yes, along with representatives from the horses, the tanuki, one of the raptors....”

“Dinosaurs?” she gasped.

He frowned and replied, “Bird youkai; hawks if I am not mistaken.”

“Erm... right. I knew that,” she mumbled sheepishly. “Will your family be coming?”


Lol Dinosaurs!! Hisoka and Kagome have some very good quotes throughout that story XD

Sesshy: "You are a fool, human. One that demeans the very world by your mere existence."

Kagome: "Oh, nasty. Oddly flowery, but nasty."

Oops, that was from "Falling Stars" by Celyia

In The Way I Am by Serephina of the Kamis, Kagome is playing with an ipod, instead of paying attention to Sesshomaru.

POP! Goes The Miko by LC Rose

But something was wrong! His miko was not crying out nor writhing her delectable body against his. Scooting back, Sesshoumaru looked down at her face and cursed.

(Insert F-bomb here). He’d killed his toy!

“Jaken!” he called loudly, knowing the imp would hear him. “Fetch Tenseiga. Now.”

He wasn’t done, damn it.


Impending Doom By Tally Mark

Dear Santa, Kagome scribbled desperately in her head, I know you don't really work this time of year, but I'm running out of people to ask, and I'm not asking much…I just want my sanity back. With a growl of frustration she crumpled up her mental letter and tossed it away. It was hopeless. No one could save her now. How could they? She was the damsel in distress, but her prince in shining armor was also the marauding demon.

Himitsu by Aimee Blue.

"The mundane humdrum of the cheap tea shop was interspersed with the steady buzzing of a fly. Driven by boredom, he decided a little surveillance would be worthwhile. Not stalking, it was definitely not stalking."

Mundane humdrum of the cheap tea shop? Wow, that sounds like a poem by Sylvia Plath!

She was cut off when he leaned down next to her ear, and with a throaty sexual whisper "Miko, would you like to find out what it is like to have sex with this Sesshoumaru?"

Now you would think that embarrassment would have been the first thing to pop to the forefront of her emotions, but nope it didn't. You see she was a modern girl of modern times. She was an adult, she went through sex ed in school, seen the videos, educational and otherwise, and listened to her friends talk about it and they even explained to her the best positions to do it in. Even though she had never done it, it didn't necessarily mean she didn't know what was involved in actually doing it. So she decided to take what he said as a bluff and made the decision to call him on it. She was after all something he despised...A human.

Locking onto his golden orbs with her brown, and a mild smirk on her face. She jumped him.

He was taught his whole life to expect the unexpected. This was one rule he lived by, it was the kind of rule that made sure you always had a good chance of survival under any circumstances. He had always held firm in that belief, that way no one could ever catch him off guard. Well that whole philosophy just went right out the window in a matter of seconds. No thanks to certain unrestrained miko.

Sure he could blame himself for her actions, but hell he had never thought that she would actually take him up on what he said. And besides he only said it to get her flustered. Now here he was laying on the ground in a very undignified manner, with a sex crazed miko sitting on his chest. Eventually his body was going to have to catch up with his brain, but as it stands now his mind wants to throw her off him, and his body is being extremely defiant in doing what his mind wants.

Off topic, but....

When did the title change from "lines" to "linens"? xD The most unforgettable linens I've seen in this fandom are indecent to discuss! >3>

I would have nothing to do with that weeks ago

One that has always made me laugh.

Sesshoumaru tried several dragon slicing techniques, but all of them gave him the same result - airborne filet of dragon, flying dragon liver, dragon pate - so he eventually gave up and trudged miserably through the snow and the stench, slicing haphazardly in the direction of the corpse and walking on as it exploded behind him.

Cause I just love Lady Battousai's Seven Feudal Fairy Tales I had to add something from it. Actually there are many lines that I love but my all time favourite was:

'Sesshomarus do not bounce'

I was just so amusing when I first read it and I was picturing Sesshomaru jumping up and down much like the way Rin is described to bounce. Perhaps it is just me that loves this line so much but I can't help it.. That line should be on a shirt, I would never stop wearing it lmao

Help Wanted by Velvet Sometimes Ch.58 - Thrust

Sesshoumaru was usually content to do just about anything if the end result had his lovely little miko curled up in his lap, but this was where he crossed the line.

He watched as the King of Goblins pelvic thrusted his way around his throne room in a pair of sinfully tight britches, tossing puppet goblins as he went. “Absolutely not.”

“Oh come on, please?” She looked up at him with pleading eyes. “You would totally win as best cosplay.”

“No way in-“ He stopped mid-sentence and all but leered at her. “And what will you be wearing?”

*********

I about died laughing at the description of the scene from Labrythn... and then picturing a irratated Sessh in that get up.

I would wear a shirt that said that too.

From my favorite story by RosieB, chapter 8: Confessional

He pulled her tightly to his chest and brought his lips to her ear. "You are the most precious creature in the world to me, Kagome. I am no fool."

It's from this really heartwarming scenes, and it tugs so hard at my heartstrings. It makes my stomach do flip flops and my heart clench T ^ T

I LOVE THIS STORY

While there are so many lines from this wonderful work of art, I enjoyed this interaction so much that I laughed out loud at my desk at work while reading it. From "Dancing With Scissors" by piratequeen0405 Chapter 37 "Baby Makes Four"

He had a role other than a passive observer of his wife’s nutritional needs, midwife appointments, and changing body. Now he was an active participant, even if, for the moment, a mere chauffeur. “Are you okay?”

“Get out of cave man protection mode,” Kagome warned, recognizing his intensity. “I need to get home without a reckless driver behind the wheel.” Before he could retort, Kaogme closed her eyes and counted in her head. One one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand… “Eight seconds. And I think it was close to fifteen minutes since the last one. We’ve got plenty of time.”

Relief softened his features. He had been tormented by nightmarish scenarios from the moment she told him she was not at home, torments that had gotten worse when she stubbornly hung up on him. “No precipitous delivery on the side of the highway?”

“Nope. I’ve got over a hundred dollars worth of groceries in the cart right now. My main concern is getting them home and into the refrigerator.”

“You have warped priorities,” he said as they walked through the doors into the bright autumn sunshine. Once the bags were loaded into the trunk, he wrapped his arms around her and held her close. “So…baby today?”

That story is genius! I can't remember how many times it's made me fall over laughing.

Through the Mirror by Sidhe

Strange colors and sensations were slowly filtering into her fogged brain.

She never remembered her sleeping bag looking like a huge fur throw...or the ground being so warm.

‘Although just a bit lumpy‘, she thought with a frown.

She reached out and touched the fur.

Hmm… Felt real enough. Though she’d never felt anything so soft. She couldn’t help running her fingers through it again with a small shiver of appreciation as it tickled her palm and wrist.

She debated simply letting the strange dream continue its course, but something was nagging at her. She wasn’t altogether comfortable, her legs stiff. Something else was hurting and she blinked.

Then her eyes went wide and she abruptly joined the land of the living.

‘That’s not right.’ THAT had never hurt before…Why was it now?

Kagome carefully reached out and curled her fingers into the fur, giving it a small tug. Frigid air gushed into the tiny gap, her breath a thick vapor, before she hurriedly pushed the fur back into place. The swift movement, however, jarred her and she gasped in pain.

The ground suddenly shifted under her…

Kagome went stone still…and so did the arms looped about her waist.

ARMS!!

I couldn't imagine!
