#dont judge a book by its cover

Body modification does not define a person….don’t judge.

Drumknott was one of those people with no discernable character.

Sometimes we just have to face the truth and stop wasting energy on the wrong people.

@inukag-week​ Day 5: Parenting aka All The Feels

–

Sitting in a small chair across the desk from the judge, Kagome couldn’t keep herself from crying as Inuyasha signed the adoption papers. 

Inuyasha had taken to fatherhood - official or not - like a fish to water. That is to say some days it seemed like he was being chased by a shark; but generally he seemed well adapted. At this moment though, he seemed less like a fish and more like a rainbow mantis shrimp: a beautiful, unexpected something she never thought she’d see in her life.

Kagome sharply shook her head, dislodging the dopey aquatic metaphors and silently vowing no more soothing 3am Toru wake-ups with Blue Planet. 

She took a few discrete deep breaths to try and regain her composure- not the easiest thing to do given how emotionally overwhelmed and physically exhausted she was. Toru had managed to catch a nasty virus just days before the final adoption hearing, meaning he was sleeping even less than usual and Kagome and Inuyasha barely at all. She was a little ashamed to admit it, but in the back of Kagome’s mind she’d been terrified that living a hellish week of screaming, snotting, sleepless toddler life would make Inuyasha change his mind. But he’d still gotten up that morning, fed Toru breakfast, and chugged his lukewarm coffee without complaint. He’d even worn a suit to the courthouse.

Now, with the final stamps stamped and signatures signed, they were on their way home for their first Official family nap time.
