Inuyasha and Kagome from Inuyasha are one of the most popular couples in anime history, up in the ranks with Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask and Goku and Chi Chi as one of the first anime many fans watched as children. While the show is dominantly a shonen, it still focused heavily on the developing relationship between the two as they went from constantly bickering accomplices to totally in love allies. Inuyasha would do anything for Kagome and vise versa.By the end of the series the two were finally able to get together and were shown having children together. Inuyasha is now making its return to show off the story of his daughter and Sesshomaru's children and their journeys together. Before that series though, here are 10 adorable pieces of fan art of Inuyasha and Kagome that'll totally make you want to rewatch the series prior to Yasahime: Princess Hald-Demon.
10 Cherry Blossom Kiss
Len (also known as AquaSpirits) is a big-time Inuyasha fan. Most of their work consists of Inuyasha couples ranging from Inuyasha and Kagome (their favorite) to Sesshomaru and Rin. All of their InuKage (the ship name, sometimes also InuKag) fan art seems to have the pairing be almost desperate for each other. After their long and terribly awaited buildup in the series, it only makes sense that the two would feel desperate to be with one another. In this image the two grab at each other's hair as they kiss, surrounded by cherry blossoms. Kagome wears her borrowed Kikyo outfit here as well, fully seeming like she belongs in the Edo era with Inuyasha.
9 Always Bickering
Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship has its foundation in bickering to hide their feelings. Oftentimes, Inuyasha pushes Kagome's buttons too far and she snaps at him. The two are also extremely jealous and get mad at each other whenever another potential suitor is around. Kagome finds this pretty hypocritical on Inuyasha's end due to his strange and pretty toxic relationship with Kikyo. But, unfortunately for Inuyasha, he just doesn't get it. This piece done by @Viria13 showcases how many of their arguments went down.
8 Under A Tree
Trees are weirdly symbolic of InuKage. Their first meeting was when Inuyasha was pinned to the tree that Kikyo had stuck him to 50 years prior. It was their first interaction, first siting, and the first moment where the two were forced to trust each other. This fan art by @Mieillee is reminiscent of their first meeting.
The two are both blushing and look a bit bashful around each other, as Inuyasha looks grumpy as he almost always is. The artist also posted a version with the shade from the tree reflecting on the pair, and one without.
7 Modern Ramen
Inuyasha is often super impressed by Kagome's modern-day items, but food in particular. In this picture, Inuyasha looks both jealous and mesmerized by Kagome's instant ramen. Those would be the perfect snack in the Edo era of Japan for Kagome as all she needs is boiling water. In the series, she is seen bringing a number of snacks and treats over for the cast and they all seem to greatly appreciate it. Kagome is also lightly blushing here and looks wary of the idea of having to share her noodles with Inuyasha, who is basically drooling over them.
6 Redraw
Screencap redraws have become a super popular trend recently (and is actually a currently trending theme with the Sailor Moon screencap). @Konpeitaro has redrawn this adorable and popular screencap of Inuyasha lending his coat to Kagome when she was cold and allowing her to rest on him. The two blush a lot, while Inuyasha tries to hide it. This was one of the first moments in the series that proved both of them had crushed on each other and were starting to allow those feelings into their own hearts. The redraw of this scene is incredibly adorable. The art style makes it super cute and the starry night behind them totally adds to this romantic scene.
5 Flushed
This pairing was pretty resilient to admit their feelings for each other. Based in their actions, everyone but them seemed to know how deep they were crushing on each other. Everyone in their immediate gang found them almost comical and tried their best to give Inuyasha and Kagome advice on how to be together, but they always rejected the ideas. These two are definitely both tsundere for each other. This image is super cute, because it shows the hesitation they both had before kissing. They're still awkward about it and trying to adjust to being romantic and not argumentative.
4 Together
This image is just so sweet and tender. The pair walks hand-in-hand in a beautiful landscape scenery. The yellows and orange of the leaves help Kagome's color palette stick out in it all. The green of her skirt and her black hair is bold against the warm tones. Inuyasha also sticks out as the warmest color.
This image will make any fan feel warm and happy and remember just how soft and sweet this couple could actually be.
3 Napping Together
This fan art done by Manda Schank is probably one of the most popular InuKag fan arts around. The pairing is seen sleeping on another here, seemingly after a longs day of travel and sacred jewel shard hunting. Kagome is leaning against a tree as Inuyasha has fallen asleep laying down on her lap. The piece is just so beautiful and precious, giving all viewers some soft fuzzy feelings inside. They look so peaceful and comforted by each other's presence. The colors in this piece are truly amazing.
2 Don't Go
Cj has created two pieces of amazing Inuyasha and Kagome fan art that bounce off of each other wonderfully. Inuyasha can be seen blushing in both images, which is just such a treat. His flustered expression in the second looks as if he wants to hide it desperately, as Kagome hugs him from behind. In the first image, Inuyasha lightly grabs Kagome's hand and can be seen saying something. Judging by their bodies and expressions it looks as if the two had just gotten into an argument and now Inuyasha is asking her not to go. They both blush in this image while also look frustrated at the same time. Cj managed to capture the dynamic of the InuKage relationship perfectly.
1 Finally
This loving scene is done by @Evartandadam and beautifully captures a sweet kiss shared between Inuyasha and Kagome. The way the flowers around them look so in focus here makes it appear as if they are hidden behind them, stealing a kiss while the others aren't looking. The way they hold each other is just so sweet and tender and makes the two totally seem like they're in love. This artist also made a similar piece of Miroku and Sango, part of the same set. Inuyasha and Kagome are easily one of the cutest and most notable couples in anime history.
