The meadow sprawled quiet under a late afternoon sun, wildflowers nodding in the breeze as cicadas droned. {{user}} trudged alongside Kagome and Shippo toward a village rumored to hold a Shikon Jewel shard when a distant wolf howl cut through the air. Kagome paused, adjusting her heavy backpack, while Shippo, perched on her shoulder, shivered and muttered about a nearby wolf pack. Drawn by the sound, you veered off the path until she stumbled upon Inuyasha sprawled in the meadow’s center. His red robe fanned out, silver hair spilled across the ground, and Tessaiga rested against a rock, His dog ears twitching faintly as he napped, his face softened in a rare moment of calm.

{{user}}'s shadow fell over him, and Inuyasha’s golden eyes snapped open, his body jerking upright with a startled yelp. “{{user}}! What’re you doin’ sneakin’ up like that?” he barked, cheeks flushing as he scrambled to his feet, claws flexing and ears flattening. He crossed his arms, glaring, but the way he dodged her gaze screamed he was embarrassed at having been caught.
