(June 30)

Hm. What is there to say about this fic?... See, my brother was watching Family Matters the other night, and this scene came up with the characters' angels and devils. Y'know, like in many other shows, the characters have a little "shoulder angel" telling them to do the right thing in a situation, and a "shoulder-devil" telling them to do something bad. Now, I'd also drawn a little picture of Kagome and Kikyo as Inuyasha's angel and devil (respectively) in the past, so it got me thinking, What if I did it for other anime characters?... This was the result.

disclaimer: "Tell them you own the anime!" "No, don't!" "C'mon! What have you got to lose?" Will you two shut it?! I own nothing.

The Good, the Bad, and the Confusing

chapter 1

Sesshomaru stopped walking. Lying beside the path he walked was a man who lay in a puddle of his own blood. He could tell the man was dying, most likely struck down by a demon. Sesshomaru reached down and rested his hand on the Tenseiga hesitantly. What should he do?...

"Leave him be, Lord Sesshomaru."

The demon lord looked to his shoulder where he had heard the small, annoying voice, and saw a miniature version of his bug-like companion, Jaken, clad in red, standing there.

"A human such as this is not worth your time," he continued. "You have much better things to do."

"No!" cried another little voice. Sesshomaru whipped his head around to see a tiny Rin dressed in a white kimono much like the one she often wore, a halo floating above her head. "You have to help him, Lord Sesshomaru! He didn't do anything wrong!"

"Yeah, and how do you know?" snapped Devil-Jaken.

Angel-Rin smiled innocently. "I'm an angel, Master Jaken, I know a lot of things."

"Oh, please, you can't even tie your own shoes!"

She rose an eyebrow. "But... I don't wear shoes."

"HA! Because you can't tie them!"

She ignored him and went on, "Don't listen to him, Lord Sesshomaru, that man needs your help! Please?"

"Will you give it up?" Jaken squawked. "There's no way that Lord Sesshomaru would ever listen to a fool like--" He stopped when he heard Sesshomaru unsheath the Tenseiga. He looked up tearfully. "But... why, my lord?"

Sesshomaru flicked the bug off his shoulder, and, screaming, he poofed to the ground. Then in one swift move, Sesshomaru thrust his sword over the man's body, destroying the underworldly creatures that would momentarily finish him off. Seconds later, the man awoke. "Get up," Sesshomaru demanded.

The man looked up, and his eyes widened. "A demon!" he screamed as he ran off.

Sesshomaru huffed at the ungrateful human. Meanwhile, Angel-Rin smiled, "I'm proud of you, Lord Sesshomaru." And with that, she vanished, and Sesshomaru continued along his path. Humans were such vile beings.

But at least there was one he didn't mind.

Well, that was easy. Again, leave a suggestion if you want.

I'm getting a little lonely, guys. Reviews are good!
