1What it means to be a hanyou?
By Chantel
I am neither human nor demon.
I am a hanyou.
I'm half human, half dog demon.
I am accepted by neither humans nor demons.
I don't need to be accepted I made my own place.
What is it like to be a hanyou you say?
Well I'll tell you.
Being a hanyou means never being accepted.
Everything is your fault.
Whether you did it or not.
Always on the run from humans and demons.
Being a hanyou means your life is miserable.
But it also means your human and helpless once a month.
I am human on the night of the no moon.
I am also youkai when I loose my father's fang of destruction, Tetsusaiga.
When I am like that I can't distinguish between friend or foe.
There are nine people in the world that accept me as a hanyou.
One is a Miko that transcend time her name is Kagome.
And she doesn't care if I am hanyou, human, or youkai she loves me anyway.
And she doesn't care how I ace as long as I learn to help others.
Another person that accepts me is names Sango.
Sango is a demon slayer.
She hates Naraku for killing her family and enslaving her brother Kohaku.
She even fights by my side and protects me when I'm weak and human.
The third person that accepts me is named Miroku.
Miroku is a monk.
He hates Naraku as much as I do but his reason is much different than the rest of us.
Miroku hated Naraku for cursing his family with the Wind Tunnel.
The fourth person to accept me is named Shippou.
Shippou is a young orphaned fox youkai.
He was the first demon to accept me for me.
Shippou I guess you can say looks up to me as a father and I guess Shippou is like my
pup.
The fifth person that accepts me is Kirara.
She is Sango's cat, she's a two tail cat youkai.
Kirara helps protect me too and she helps us get where we need to go.
Kirara used to belong to the Priestess Midoriko.
The sixth person that accepts me is a Priestess named Kaede.
Kaede is the younger sister of the Priestess Kikyo.
She is a wise old hag but nice.
Kaede lost her sister to Naraku.
The seventh person to accept me is Kagome's little brother Souta.
He treats me like I'm his older brother.
The first time I actually noticed how much he idolized me was when we fought the
ancient noh mask.
Sota said he had a new hero and he said that new hero was me.
The eight person to accept me is Kagome's mother.
She thinks my ears are cute.
She knows I'd never hurt Kagome.
She loves me like I was her own child, she makes me feel like I have my own mother
back.
The ninth person to accept me is my brother Sesshoumaru.
I know he doesn't act like it but he tries to hide what he feels for me but I know he loves
me.
Sesshoumaru may act all tough and mean but under all of that is a very scared little child.
Sesshoumaru hates Naraku because he Kidnaped his young charge Rin.
I know I'm a hanyou people still accept me and love me and that's all that counts.
I just wanted you to know that all hanyou's are outcasts.
If you act all up in their faces than you'll be noticed and you might be accepted.
My parents loved me enough to being me into this world so I guess the world is stuck
with me because I'm not going anywhere until I get rid of Naraku.
That's a promise I aim to keep.
Naraku will parish before I do.
I will avenge Kikyo and use the jewel to become a full fledged demon.
Wait! I may use the jewel to become human so I can stay with Kagome, I love her but I
could never tell her that.
Only two people in my life have ever cried for me.
One person was my own mother but only when people were mean to me.
The other person to cry for me is Kagome and she's shed tears for me twice.
She really does care about me I guess I should take better care of myself.
I promise Kagome I'll be more careful just for you.
