The relationship development between Sesshomaru and the OC is also a key element. It often starts with some form of conflict or misunderstanding, like Sesshomaru initially being dismissive of the OC. Then, as the story progresses, their relationship deepens through shared experiences, leading to a yaoi - themed relationship which is full of passion and emotional connection.
