What am I going to even do with this muse?

[inunotaisho]

Much time has passed since I left the world of the living. How are you able to summon me back?

(He hasn't drawn a weapon to defend himself (mainly because his swords are now in the hands of his sons). Yet he also seems to be feeling the situation out before he acts.)

I have no desire to be amongst the living. My time was spent well and I have no regrets about my death. I imagine that is hard for one as young as you to understand.

These... Mundane seem capable of many things. Reviving the dead is only one of their little tricks.

[Hm...]

Though I am surprised to see you among the revived.

[inunotaisho]

(Upon recognizing her voice, he chuckles lowly.)

Have you suffered by their hands? I cannot say I know much about them.

[twotimingmutt]

[Welp, his mind's been blown.]

What the....... Old man?

[inunotaisho]

Inuyasha. (Of course he recognizes you.) I never thought we would meet again.

[twotimingmutt]

You're tellin' me. I mean...

[He scratches the back of his head awkwardly.]

After that whole thing with Sou'unga, I thought you'd be gone for good, y'know?

[inunotaisho]

This Mundane had other ideas. (Ideas that don't particularly please him.) Are you well?

[twotimingmutt]

Sure, if by 'well' you mean 'bored outta my friggin' mind'. Mun can't figure out if she wants to let me go or not.

[And then he remembers just who he's speaking to and stiffens up again.]

So...er... can I ask you something?

[inunotaisho]

Is that so?

(Inuyasha's words bring a smile to his father's lips. Bored, hm?)

Go ahead.

(He is ready and willing to listen.)

[puppy_lancer]

I didn't ask for a second life either, but I got one. Might as well as enjoy it.

[Here comes a Celtic dog to match your Japanese one.]

[inunotaisho]

How do you suggest I enjoy it?

[puppy_lancer]

Find a few girls, down a few cups of wine, challenge some strong people, that sort of thing.

[Basically, just run wild.]

[inunotaisho]

Girls, hm? (He has to admit, that suggestion amuses him.) I have two sons and I doubt there are many who could challenge me.

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, girls. You can still find quite a few good women in this day and age.

[The mention of kids catches his interest.]

Wouldn't you wanna meet your kids again? Give them a pat on the head, ask them how they've been doing?

[Lancer would have liked to have had kids who could survive him, but the one child he did have...]

[inunotaisho]

I see. (To be perfectly honest, there weren't many women during his original lifetime that caught his interest. There were two to be exact.

He chuckles.) Only one of them would react well to that sort of treatment. (The other might try to take him down.)

...oh hi there. 0w0 Have a sliiiight AU.

[taiyoukai]

They care not for what you desire.

[Awkward, awkward pause.]

Father.

83 Son!

[inunotaisho]

That has not missed my attention.

(He smiles faintly.)

Sesshomaru.

Your son, who's sliiiiiiightly less of an asshole than in canon! ...but just a little.

[taiyoukai]

Of course.

[Right, it wouldn't escape his attention. Really, Sesshomaru, it's your dad, we're talking about here. He doesn't have your attention span proble---]

I would not have expected to meet you here.

[Or anywhere, really! Can you tell he's uncomfortable? Because he's deeply, deeply uncomfortable.]

This is a promising change. <3 But he loves him all the same.

[inunotaisho]

I did not expect to come here. (Or to be alive. That's...a huge change.)

I have been told to ask you how you are. (Because that's what you do with kids, right?)

He... kind of almost understands him? Sort of? (We all know he loves his dad, deep down. Really.)

[taiyoukai]

I believe that to be a common reaction upon being... given attention by one of these humans.

[Having a mun is hard. It's hard and no one understands. He blinks slowly at that question, though, trying hard not to look surprised but his whole "emotionless mask of non-emotion shtick" as Kagome called it never really held well when dealing with his family.]

I am...

[In the middle of sixteen different civil wars because what are politics, politics suck, no one mentioned the politics after Naraku died, sob. Why don't you come back home with him and take over this whole Lord of the West business? He's discovered he doesn't quite like it as much as he thought he did.]

Entirely within the parameters of the acceptable, I believe.

Inu No Taisho knows he loves him. It's okay, Sess. He can read between the bold lines. <3

[inunotaisho]

In my case, it's much more than simply being given "attention" as you put it. (He is used to attention. But being revived without the use of his beloved Tenseiga? Now that's quite a feat.)

I'm happy to hear that. (And he is even if Sesshomaru wants to be a difficult pup.) Your hesitation makes me wonder, though.

(His expression softens the slightest bit.)

Do you speak to your mother often?

.. :3 oh hi

[adorns]

The mundanes..!

[ For one so small in the presence of a stranger, her expression is less wary and more.. curious? She couldn't have passed him by if she tried, not once she saw his face. Just like Lord Sesshoumaru.. ]

They can do a lot of things.

awww hello! :D

[inunotaisho]

Are they all called such pitiful names?

(Her small voice causes him to glance down. A child.)

Tell me they are looking out for you?

i couldn't resist tagging this

[adorns]

Yes!

[ As he glances down, she closes the distance between them. A hunch, she has one. ]

She's helping me find Lord Sesshoumaru.

Rin is so adorable. I'm sure Inu no Taisho would have loved her too. :)

[inunotaisho]

Lord Sesshomaru? What is he to you? (He kneels down and holds out a hand.)

Adopt her! pfft. let her tell you how sweet your son is

[adorns]

What is Lord Sesshoumaru to..

[ Normally she wouldn't have taken that hand so readily but she wants to know more about this person. Without hesitation: ]

He's important.
