Dimidiatus
All right, I'm changing my style of writing. Not like anybody will notice because I've only posted one of my five failures and that wasn't even an IY fic. A lot less author randomness, hopefully longer chapters and quicker updates.
Basically, I won't sound as insane and more or less informative. Hopefully more.
Wow, this is "ife1" or inuyasha fanfiction attempt five chapter one and it's the first one I've posted. I'm not altogether sure about...anything yet. Rating, plot, genre...bear with me. I'm keeping it as general, I'll work on the plot cuz I'm still not sure about it myself yet, I'll try not to exceed ten or so chapters, and the rating may change but I'll keep it low as possible. And my author notes will be shorter
Dimidiatus is Latin for "half" or "divided" or something like that. It's hard to find good Latin words that aren't too obvious. And when you think you have a good one, it doesn't really fit with your story.
I have no idea when this story is supposed to take place. Let's just say that the most recently introduced character is Kanna, which is about episode...no idea.

----------- Chapter One: Are Half-Demons Half-Mortal?
(Stupid title I know) -----------
"Inuyasha?"
"WHAT?!" Kagome flinched nervously. Why was Inuyasha being so grumpy? Oh right, it was the new moon, and he wasn't too eager for the night to come and his powers to disappear. But still, he didn't have to take it out on her; he was so rude and antisocial while she was just trying to be friendly.
"WELL?" Inuyasha snapped, bringing the girl out of her thoughts. "You say my name, and then you just sit there _staring_ off into space!!! What is your PROBLEM? Wh-Huh? Wait, don't start crying-aaagh, stop it!!" If there was one thing he didn't know what to handle, it was a crying Kagome. The others, observing this little exchange, sweatdropped slightly.
Then the scary bi-polar priestess-reincarnation started yelling, "You stupid animal, think about someone else for once!! It's not my problem you have human blood in you. I'm completely human, but I don't care; I'm proud of it. Why can't you just accept what you are?!?!?!?!?" (heehee ^~ imagine Kagome two inches from Inuyasha with those evil angry eyes and fang-y teeth shouting at Inuyasha, who has an "erk" expression on his face. Wow. ^.^;) And _then_, as Inuyasha mumbled a half-hearted response, the dreaded moment: "_OSUWARI!!!!_"
Glow, thwumph, string of jumbled curses from a certain half-demon.
"Stupid girl, you think it's funny!! Ooh, let's all make the funny half- demon fall FLAT ON HIS FACE whenever we FEEL LIKE IT!!!"
"Serves you right, yelling at me for no reason like that. I was just going to suggest that since you always seem to be getting in trouble during the new moon, we could just lie low at the village instead of always traveling around and getting caught by demons."
Inuyasha's response was cutting. "Well, it doesn't work that way, does it? You think that you can just hide and all the problems will go away until you're ready to accept them; well, you're wrong."
Sango said, "Inuyasha, it sounds like good advice. Why do you look on the bad side of things all the time? Kagome is only trying to be helpful."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Yeah right. But come on then. Let's stay at Kaede-babaa's and see what happens."
He ran off with Kagome calling out behind him, "Wait, I need to get my bike! Inuyashaaa! Wait uuuppp! Stupid...errrh SIT!" Inuyasha whammed into the ground again.
-Well,- Kagome thought with slight embarrassment, -It is kind of funny to see Inuyasha falling into the ground like that.-
++++++ Kagome was lying in her bed, thinking about Inuyasha and his extreme pessimism. It wasn't just when it was the new moon either; he was always so grumpy.
-I don't understand Inuyasha.-
~flashback~ "You think that you can just hide and all the problems will go away until you're ready to accept them; well, you're wrong." ~end flashback~
-He has to act all tough. Like there's no one he can trust, like the world is only full of the bad things, and he has to suffer them all. I wonder why?-
~flashback~ "I'm completely human, but I don't care; I'm proud of it. Why can't you just accept what you are?!?!?!?!?"
"I accept it, but nobody accepts me," he said, nearly inaudibly. ~end flashback~
-I was so mad at him that I wasn't really listening to his response. It's only now, when I think back, that I can remember what he said. Half-demons, or half-humans, whichever way you look at it, are ostracized from both groups. He is part human, so he cannot live in peace with the demons, and he is also part demon, so he cannot live with the humans. He is an enemy to the rest of the world. No wonder he wanted the Jewel so badly. Wait, the Jewel!-
Kagome got up, trying to remember where she had put the shards. Just great. Her irresponsibility would get them in trouble, and at a bad time, too. Looking out the window, Kagome saw that the cloudless sky revealed stars but no moon.
And also a big black shadow.
A demon held the shards of the sacred Jewel
----------- Ah, cliffie, but I guess you expected that one. Three pages!! That stinks. I'm rewriting this.
