In regards to the results. (More results at the end of this page.)

This research finds:
Sesshoumaru and Kagura as potential love interests: Fanon

*note: We changed this after we gain new canon information. HOWEVER, there could be an interpretion depending on how the viewer interprets the re-imaging of the story by the studio without having all knowledge.

Sesshoumaru and Kagura as love interests: Fanon.

Sesshoumaru and the current Rin as love interests: in between an non-exist pairing and fanon. In addition, used to attack the next pairing with biases.

Sesshoumaru and (older) Rin as love interests: studio-cannon (non-canon) and could could be interpret with the foreshawing in the Manga. However, Rumiko-sensei canon.

(Note: Before Yashahime, The drama cd does count, if not then Sesshoumaru and Kagura as potential love interests are not non-canon/studio-canon either.)

** End of new update**

Disclaimers: The animation called Inuyasha and the quotes from the manga belong to Rumiko Takahashi. This blog does not claim the quotes from the manga or the animation as its own.

The purpose of this blog is to present the genuine results of an intensive research to approve or disapprove statements from the blogs. This blog findings has disapproved the majority of the falsified claims. The links to the blogs have been excessively posted to www.Facebook.com, www.fanfiction.net, www.deviantart.com, and many other sites pertaining to the prejudiced pairing of the blogs in the Inuyasha fandom. This blog is not attacking any fanon (fan made) pairings, or any of the reader’s beliefs. Posting a link to this blog site is acceptable. Please make a review or comment to the material you are posting to when you are posting this link. However, please DO NOT use this blog to make a person wrong in their beliefs or try to hurt someone by attacking any fanon pairings. Fans do not stand for what is happening with the blogs below. Therefore, this blog should not be used in the same way. The blogs in cross-reference with the manga follows:

http://Sesshomaruandrinfaq.blogspot.com/ or http://Sesshomaruandrin.blogspot.com/

http://Sesshomaruandkagurafaq.blogspot.com/ or http://Sesshomaruandkagura.blogspot.com/

In regards of the manga and the animation, the material was carefully reviewed in the point of view from the blogs. In fact on the first reading of the English manga was read from the point of view from the blogs. Instead, the results found a different truth than what is stated in the blogs. Without the support from the factual story of the manga instead of a fabricated story the argument in the blogs falls apart. Important information follows:

1) The facts from the manga are from the Japanese version. The Japanese version is the original source. There are many translations in the world which would slightly different in translation. If you do not agree with a point, please provide evidence that supports your view from the manga, volume and chapter. Otherwise your post will just be an opinion and disregard information for this blog. Please do not twist what happen in the manga either because the manga will speak for itself. The reason this blog is mainly focused on the manga is because the manga is 100% approved by Rumiko Takahashi-sensei.

2) We are all fans of Inuyasha: just because we do not like a pairing we should not attack or harass others. We should be standing together and sharing our love for Inuyasha than attacking each other. Just because one is against a pairing does not give one permission to attack other fans what is canon or not canon. Fanon is what the fans create and other fans love. Therefore, should be accepted in the fandom, if someone puts Sesshoumaru with Ayame or Miroko with Kagome or dare should it be said, Sango with Quagmire from Family Guy.

3) The final act of the animation has been altered from the story from the manga. This change will be different, if you watched only the animation, and will lead to confusion. Just note it is different from the manga.

4) The two links with Faq in the link above, have been read a few times and have been compared with the manga. The facts are altered and reshaped to fit the blogs views. This blog believes their reasoning is critical for them to get a point across. However, their interpretation is not accurate from the manga.

5) Everyone is going to have different opinions. That does not make someone right or wrong. Some Inuyasha lovers will say Sesshoumaru and Rin are father and daughter then cringe at them being future lovers. Other would cringe at them being father and daughter because they see them as future lovers. And of course they can just see them as companions, like Inuyasha and Sango. The same goes with Kagura and Sesshoumaru being together; some approve or cringe of the thought. Any of these views does not make them wrong or right because they are judging from their knowledge. However, when you learn different perspectives from the culture from the original country, the viewer will learn how the author wanted the readers to see their story.

6) This blog is not a response to the blogs. Please remember, this blog is not attacking anyone or any fanon pairing. This blog only focused on the facts from the manga, and the misleading information from the blogs. The main goal of this blog is to provide correct information for fans of Inuyasha, and debunking the information provided in the blogs. This blog is not debunking any fanon pairings for fans to use in stories on fanfiction.net or any media for fans. In a words of a friend, "fanfiction is just that: "fan" fiction. There are no right or wrong pairings, just those you like. But that's the wonderful thing about fanfiction, we don't all have to like the same things and I think that's what makes fanfiction fun." Anyone could easily make any two characters a “canon” pair in how they interpret the manga when the manga does not support it. That does not make it true. No one should be attacked or bashed for a pairing. In the words of many fans, if you don’t like a certain pairing then don’t read them. No one should be attacked for what they believe in or don’t believe in. Each fan story is just a different parallel universe and does not change the real story from the manga. The end of the manga allow space for fan writers if you feel threaten that is not the blog intentions.

7) The plan was to post most of the information in one blog entry. However, this blog will be posted in selections to be user-friendly. If a reader disagrees with the claims this blogs makes, please read the sections that supports this blogs claim. There will be too much information for one entry containing most of the information together.

The following are results from the intensive research.

From the manga: (anime is below)

Sesshoumaru and Kagura as lovers: not canon.

Sesshoumaru and Kagura as potential love interest: not canon.

Sesshoumaru and Kagura as allies? Frenemies?: canon. (Toward the end)

Sesshoumaru and Rin as father and daughter: not canon.

Sesshoumaru and Rin as adopted father and daughter: not canon.

Sesshoumaru and Rin as guardian and ward: not canon (yes new interview ues a word that could use this but that word has different meanings like the next one)

Sesshoumaru as Rin’s guardian/protector: canon

Sesshoumaru raised Rin: not canon

Sesshoumaru and Rin as companions: canon

Sesshoumaru and Rin as master and pet: not canon.

Sesshoumaru and Rin (as a child) as lovers: not canon

Sesshoumaru and Rin (as a child) in a platonic relationship: canon

Sesshoumaru and older Rin as lover: 殺りん： inconclusive but (possibly) implied

Sesshoumaru groomed Rin: Not cannon, that is a disgusting thought. Not supported by the source material. Just a way to attack people.

Sesshoumaru is a pedophile: Not cannon, another disgusting thought. Not supported by the source material. Just a way to attack people.

Loving Sesshourmaru and older Rin as lovers does not support: Child grooming, pedophilia, and any negative disgusting thought that is just attacking people.

From the Animation/Studio canon: All are the same but two.

Sesshoumaru and older Rin as lover: Studio canon

Sesshoumaru and Kagura as potential lovers: Could possibly be interpreted to studio canon but isn't, depends if a viewer will interpret the alter animation as such. The writers of this blog loves Kagura and can see how someone could interpret it as such but does not support that interpretation. Sesshoumaru and Kagura is a good Fanon pairing. However, cannonly, there is no support. Kagura, if she got her freedom would fly away and Sesshoumaru had no interested in her being with him as a follower or such.

Note: Some as claimed Sesshoumaru and Rin has a brother/sister relationship vibe, which could be interpreted and could fall into the companions’ category.

In addition, because of the amount of research, some information from the research has been removed from this main blog entry and made into their own page. These entries are from research from the claims on the internet that goes against Sesshoumaru and (older) Rin as lovers.

1) Both blogs had the same message at the end, both were worded differently. One said “You can like/dislike whatever you want, as long as you don't deny that this is the canon pairing” From the actions for over many years this is clearly not the case. People have the right to love a pairing and should not be told they are wrong. What does the actions with an intent to harm other fans say with false facts and trying to make everyone wrong when it goes against what you like? What does it say when someone attempts to control others and force them into someone’s own beliefs?

2) Let’s not show our hatred but give our friendship, from the actions that has been happening seems like someone needs a friend or more. They have their reasons in why they are doing. They need to know, if their reason is to protect Rin. They do not have to protect Rin, a character loved by Sesshoumaru and all the fans that is not going to be sexual abused. Or they feel threaten their view is wrong, it is so sad that they have been shown their hate for years. Would it not be better to be happy and spending time on the pairing a fan loves than to live hating a fiction couple and trying to spread that hatred? They could be masking their own pain by posting these links but how is attempting to make others feel the way they do going to help anything? In the blogs, they demean, Rin, Sesshoumaru, Rumiko Takahashi-sensei, the manga, romantic love, other fans, the one they could demean the most is the writer of the blogs. The blogs make the writer look threaten by other views and that they read a different manga apart from what Takahashi-sensei wrote. This blog is not attacking or trying to cause ill feelings with the writer, the blog is not making them feel that way. When someone attacks someone and belittles others, and judge them, it really shows how little and how insecure one is about their selves. Anyone twisting someone else words in trying to hurt them in retaliation is futile because it shows what they said were true and the words upset them with the truth. Perhaps they need to work on themselves, There is a possibly they have a lot in their past that they need to take care of. It is important for them to resolve their feelings themselves than taking it out on this blog or the Inuyasha fandom on innocent fans. The past is the past. They could attack this blog but they need to remember that this blog is fact driven by the manga and by the Japanese culture. Their fight is not with this blog.

3) Sesshoumaru’s canon love interest in the manga is no one or Rin when she is older. The manga definitely supports Sesshoumaru and Rin as companions by the words Takahashi-sensei used is how she wanted them to be seen. In addition, with “the future lovers?” entry of this blog, the manga could support them as future lovers. Moreover, in the canon entry of this blog, explains how the Drama Cd where Sesshoumaru proposes to Rin is studio canon. The best possible solution, if this blog did not solve the problem, is to say Sess/older Rin as a canon pairing are in the gray area. From the research the pairing rather it be canon or studio-canon of Sesshoumaru and Rin 〈殺りん〉is not going to go away. And this applies to all pairings like them being adoptive father and daughter as well. It just different viewpoints and it is not worth arguing about it or harassing others.

He did not raise Rin/Time line

TIme Line

The canon sources, manga and animation, does not support Sesshoumaru raising Rin. This is based off of Japanese culture, customs, and mostly the manga. The main story line of Inuyasha is from April/May of 1996 to March 1997. She only traveled with him for 4-5 months below will break it down.

Japanese school years are April to March the following year. 6 years for elementary, 3 years for both Middle and High school. Volume 3, She tells Inuyasha that she is a third year student and preparing for high school exams.

Month/Year	Chapter/episode	Kagome’s age.
April/May 1996	Chapter 1 Tokyo 1996 (Japanese) page 11	Kagome is 14. in her last school year of middle school
April/May 1996	Chapter 1 page 14 episode 1	Kagome is 15.
March 1997	High School entrance exam (ch 520/FA 18) Graduated Middle School (ch530(vol52)/FA 21)
March 2000	Graduated High School and Return to feudal era Japan (Ch 558(vol 56)/FA 24)	Kagome is 18 before her birthday 3 years later
September 2000	Special chapter 6 months after Ch 559 (Yashime eps 1)	Kagome is 19 after her birthday

Japanese Uniforms: As readers see Kagome mostly in her winter uniform. Japanese wear winter uniforms from October to June. October 1^st is when they switch to their winter uniform and June 1^st is when they switch to their summer school uniform. Therefore, they are only in their summer uniform for 4 months.

Months	Chapters	Uniform	Good picture
April (1996) to May	Chapter 1-34	Winter Seifuku	Chapter 1 Page 9
June to September	Chapter 35-44	Summer Seifuku	Chapter 35 page 4	Kagome thinks it is summer. Chapter 35 Page 8
October(1996) to March (1997)	Chapter 45-558	Winter Seifuku High uniform (558)	Chapter 45 page 11 High Uniform (558)
March 2000	Special chapter	---	-----

The story of Inuyasha is from April or May 1996 to March 1997. Less than a year. Sesshomaru and Rin travel a few months together. Because one Sesshomaru and Rin meets in chapter 129. They meet in the October (1996) to March (1997) time period.

There are a few slight inconstancies trying to work this one, this could be work out a few ways. One way you could go by the night of the new moon, which is when Inuyasha becomes human. The nights occur in volume 5, 9, 16-17, 21, 37, 42, and 47 excluding volume 27-28 because that was the barrier on Mt. Hakurai. Volume 5 is in the summer, leaving us with 6 nights of the new moon and 6 months. The lunar moon calendar is 29 days and different from the Gregorian calendar used nationwide. Sesshoumaru meets Rin right before the night of the new moon for 16-17 representing November giving us about or a little over 4 months. Remember Rin has been in Kaede’s care for 11 days in March and stays in her care. She was not with him and not counted.

As you can tell everything seems clear and simple. However, there is an inconstancy here. There is enough days to make two months after the night of the new moon in volume 21. Since Volume 30 supports a skipped new moon night. It would seem the manga is trying to cram 7 months into 6 months. The problem is not fitting in right in the Japanese school year. Looking at it this way makes it about 5 months Rin was Sesshoumaru.

Another inconstancy, the night of the new moon in volume 37 and volume 42 will have about 14 known days each. Following the days, Kagura died a day after the new moon in volume 37 and Sesshoumaru receives the meidou 3 days before the new moon in volume 42. Making that 3 weeks and 3 days in-between her death and him receiving the meidou. Kagura comes in volume 15 and dies in volume 38. That is 3 new moon nights, Kagura is 3 months old or close to 4 months from when she was born from Naraku flesh to when she dies.

With the flow of the story, the next thing this blog did went day by day, instead of following the new moons considering the youkai or moon gods were playing havoc with the moons since there can be 4 different sizes of the moon in the same night in the same chapter, See Volume chapter. If the youkai or the moon gods could play havoc with the moons what could they not play havoc with the nights of the new moon. Starting at the end and meeting the first October night in Volume 5. In doing this, Rin traveled with Sesshoumaru for 4 months and changing the 3 weeks and 3 days to 9 to 10 days that Sesshoumaru received the meidou from Kagura’s death. Day by Day the story flows better.

Sesshoumaru did not raise Rin. This is like a summer at camp, and he is like a camp leader. Rin is one tough kid to be walking barefoot on the terrain of Sengoku Jidai in winter asking about the world around them and he answers her. If you as a child had to stay with a friend of the family for 4 months and developed a bond would that make that friend a father/father-figure or mother/mother-figure to you? Most likely the friend of the family would be viewed as an authority-figure that has protected you for 4 months. This blog believes If Rin had to been 12 or older the ideas of being a daughter or him raising her would not exist. Sesshoumaru did not act like a father, he acted like a companion. As a few places in this blog had said, Sesshoumaru and Rin are companions that is how Takahashi-sensei wanted them to be viewed.

The rest of this entry is the timeline. This blog does not claim that it is accurate or what Takahashi-sensei planned. Some days were educated guesses. Some days put together could be different days, and some days could had been broke apart from her vision. Mistakes could had been made. One more minor note, if someone tries a timeline to see the claim in this blog to either see it or disputed it. Sesshoumaru leaves Rin with Kaede to hunt down Magatsuhi, 11 days later, her living with Kaede comes official. This blog does not count those 11 days with the 4 months he is with her because she is not with him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Japan

The following are mock conclusions and could be different from what she had planned. We had got all the notes and worked it backwards since that was at the end of March. October, December, January, and March has 31 days. November 30 and February 28 days. 182 days.

Then we put the information in a few different ways.

We followed the manga. We first took notes, the first five volumes are mid to late April or May to October. October starting in volume 5 act 7 or 45 overall because of Kagome's seifuku (school outfit). Winter seifuku is October 1st to May 31st. Summer is June 1st to September 31st, Chapter 1 she is wearing a winter seifuku. Chapter 25 Kagome and friends are wearing the summer seifuku and Kagome says it is summer. Volume 5 act 7 or chapter 45 she is back to the winter outfit. Japanese school years are April to March with breaks.

Since this is about the time Rin was with Sesshoumaru we did not focus on the beginning. This starts with vol 5 chapter 7.
