First and foremost, I'm not naturally a writer.

Ideas pop into my head and I can't help but want to express them, but writing is something I have to work hard on.

T H A N K x Y O U

Games I play with my sisters... because I'm simply obsessed with InuYasha:

1. We play the role of voice actors (actresses) as we watch it in Japanese with english subtitles. Pretty fun... and we never get bored. Well, at least I don't.

2. Number one, with a twist. Sort of like in my fanfic, InuYasha: Upside Down, the roles sorta... um switch.

Here's how we do it:

InuYasha: Girl InuYasha
Kagome: Hojo
Sango: Kohaku
Miroku: Kikyo
Shippo: Souten

Naraku: Tsubaki (or Kagura)
Kagura: Hiten
Kanna: Kane
Kaguya: Naraku

Sota: Rin
Hojo: Kagome Higurashi
Akitoki Hojo: Botan Higurashi

and so on...

I know... I'm SICK. HAHA... but it's fun, really... if you have time, LIKE I DO... you should try it. It's better though when you have siblings you could share voice actor duties with.

3. As we listen to songs on the radio, we match them w/ characters and their situations. MUCH like in songfics.

Example: My Immortal, Evanescence: Sango/Kohaku.

Favorite Pairings:

InuYasha/Sango
Kouga/Sango
InuYasha/Kikyo
Miroku/Kikyo
Miroku/Kagome
Hojo/Kagome

Yeah... I love Alternate Pairings, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy canon pairings. It mostly depends on the idea... not the pairing.

InuYasha: Upside Down-

As stated in the summary, I changed the characters completely around. The only gender I actually changed though was that of InuYasha's. I was told I was disgracing the series, and I guess that's true in a way because I turned it all upside down. In my story, InuYasha is a female inu hanyou. Hojo is Miroku's reincarnation. Kikyo has a wind-tunnel in her right palm. Kohaku takes Sango's place as the taijiya of the gang, and Souten is looking for a way to avenge her brothers' death at the hands (or paws) of a kitsune youkai.

Get ready for the odd pairings:
Miroku/InuYasha/Hojo- (remember... InuYasha's a girl, so no yaoi)
Kagome/Hojo/InuYasha- (Yes... Kagome makes her appearance in this fanfic... and she's quite important too.)
Kagome/Kohaku/Kikyo- The reincarnation of theSacred Jewel's guardian,the timid taijiya, and the flirt in a priestess'sgarbs. (No... Kohaku's not 11 in this fic... remember... he's taking Sango's place.

Tsubaki's Curse- ON HOLD

On InuYasha's P.O.V.: It was what she wanted...
and all I needed was... a chance to feel accepted.
But Kikyo's only mistake was... falling in love with me... and I don't mean to boast, but that itself was inevitable.

This is my twisted version of what happened 50 years before Kagome's arrival in the feudal ages.

Where did I go Wrong?-

A sort of prequel or sequel...(depends on how you see it)to Tsubaki's Curse... done in Kikyo's P.O.V.
