This is Kagome's turn to talk!
Dear Fanfiction Authors,
Sorry about Inuyasha. He's so rough, you know? *sighs* I hope you didn't mind. At least he's distracted by his ramen right now. I think he had a lot more to say. Thank goodness for instant noodles.
But the purpose of this letter is not to apologize for Inuyasha's behavior. I've been reading about myself, or rather how you authors portray me, and I have to say, I'm not overall pleased with the results. First on the list is something that's really common and really popular for some reason.
Me, in love with Sesshomaru? Puh-lease! Yes, he's handsome, but he's so mean. And he's tried to kill Inuyasha so many times! I could never crush on someone who attacked my best friend so repeatedly. Given, most of our friends started out by attacking us, but Sesshomaru is in a class by himself. At least now he has Rin... Even though he pulled through in the final battle, I could never do the whole fangirling-for-an-ice-prince thing. Save it for the chick flicks!
And people, I am not a crybaby, so please stop portraying me as such. I've never ran away like that before when Inuyasha was getting all over Kikyo, so what makes you think I'd break down and start now? I'd give him a good sitting, I wouldn't burst into tears and run off into the unknown and get attacked by a demon and saved by Sesshomaru! That last part? Not happening.
But I have to say, I do enjoy how you people write me as a powerful miko. Haha, the most I can do is fire an arrow with my holy powers, and you guys are all like, "She made ropes of reiki come out of her hands and wrap around the demon." That, you can keep doing.
Oh, and... I don't hate Kikyo! Sure, I was jealous of her (not that I ever would have admitted it when she was alive), but I would never go around calling her a wh-word. I sure as heck wouldn't condemn her to hell!
One last thing before I go... Me as a demon? As a half-demon? For AU, that might be okay, but in Canon, you guys just write me down as falling asleep or something and waking up as, voila, a demon. You don't even give a legitimate reason. Gah! Sometimes, I can't even believe you guys. But at least in most fics I'm a pretty boss person.
Kami! Inuyasha, sit! That's your own flesh-and-blood brother! Sesshomaru's here, and guess what? He wants a turn at the mic. Or the pen. Whatever. Prepare for some deep-freeze-worthy criticism!
Sincerely,
Kagome Higurashi
