Inuyasha: I, Queen Kikyo, Make Everyone Kneel

Reborn as a three-year-old Kikyō, I decide not to be a shrine maiden, but a boss.

One night when I'm seventeen, I find a silver-haired half-demon.

"Want to come with me? I'll provide food and lodging, and you'll have me, too."

Inuyasha turns away, his ears red. "W-Who wants that!"

And then he waits at the village entrance for me to come home every single day.

I start a "Warring States Talent Reclamation Company":

Onigumo becomes a CEO who works himself to the bone and outcompetes every nation. Tsubaki gives up curses and focuses on writing KPIs.

Kaguya gets a secure government post and develops the island of Horai into a top-rated tourist attraction.

My little sister Kaede doesn't lose an eye, Hakushin Shonin is redeemed, and every half-demon child gets to go to school.

As for Inuyasha, who I keep teasing until he jumps out of his skin...

On the battlefield, he's a silver-haired demon warrior who strikes fear into every nation.

But on the way back to town, he'll secretly pick a bunch of wildflowers and awkwardly press them into my hand. "I found them on the road. It's not like I picked them for you!"

Then, on the day of my coronation, thunderclouds surge beyond the Ninth Heaven.

The Queen Mother of the West stands in midair, her voice cold as ice. "The anomaly must be destroyed."

Before I can speak, Inuyasha has already drawn his sword and stepped in front of me, demonic energy soaring into the sky.

"If you want to touch her, you'll have to get past me."

Behind him, Onigumo unfurls a strategy map, Tsubaki forms layers upon layers of spell seals, and Kaguya raises a mirror barrier.

Even the half-demon children on Horai Island raise their little wooden bows.

I smile and gently press down on Inuyasha's trembling sword hilt.

"Do you see? This is my country, and these are my people."

That day, I neither became a god nor fell into demonic darkness.

I simply gave every wandering soul a place in the system called "home."
