Hey! It's me again for the next chapter! I'm sorry I didn't
mention it before, but it's a JtHM x-over. That's Johnny the Homicidal
Maniac, for those of you that have absolutely no idea what I'm talking
about. Johnny is a homicidal and suicidal serial killer who only kills the
people who hurt him, and reveals a lot about the worst in people through
his pessimistic perception. He may also be bipolar. Anything else would
give the story away; it's by Jhonen Vasquez (creator if Invader ZIM). So,
now let's start.

Disclaimer: Forgot to put it in the previous chapter. Don't own Inuyasha or JtHM. I own a few mangas and comic books, but that's it.
Chapter 2: Do I Know You?
Years later, Inuyasha was sitting in a tree, waiting for Kagome to return. Shippo was at the foot off the tree, bugging him incessantly. Why didn't the stupid orphan leave him alone? He hopped down from the tree and started to walk away.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Shippo cried. "Kagome will be here any minute!"
"I'm sure you can watch her for a few minutes without getting into trouble. I'll meet her later." He continued to walk into town.
He was walking around; trying to clear his head while villages gave him strange looks. Oh well. Nothing he wasn't used to.
As he walked, he noticed a tall man leaning against a building. He was talking quietly to a ladybug in his hand. Curiously, Inuyasha crept closer. The man held up his hand and said to the insect, "Go free, little guy. You'll never know how lucky you are." As soon as he said it, the ladybug flew off.
Inuyasha decide to make himself known. "Isn't it a little strange that you're talking to bugs?"
The man turned to him. "I suppose, but I'd kill myself before I'm considered normal." He walked up to Inuyasha. "Do I know you from somewhere?"
Inuyasha shrugged. "Maybe. I'm in this village every so often. You may have seen me."
The man shook his head. "I haven't been here in a long time. I'm only visiting. What's your name?"
"Inuyasha. And who are you?"
The man suddenly smiled. "My, what a strange thing to ask."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not supposed to know who I am, because other people would either agree or disagree. You're supposed to figure that out for yourself."
"But you asked me who I was."
"No. I asked for your name."
"Oh." Inuyasha paused. "Then what's your name?"
"My name is Johnny. And I like your ears."
Inuyasha's eyebrows rose slightly. No one ever said that before, except Kagome and...well, Inuyasha didn't remember, but some one had told him that before. It was...strange.
"I know you'll guess what that means."
"That you're half human."
Inuyasha's head snapped up. He was sure he had this conversation before, but he didn't know where. It sounded so familiar.
"Doesn't that frighten you?"
"Why should it?"
Inuyasha was stumped. He was going to say it was how everybody else felt, but obviously Johnny didn't wish to be like everyone else. And he wasn't.
"Still, it sucks that I'm both," Inuyasha continued, trying to avoid answering the question. "I wish I could be one or the other."
"I think it should be nice to be both."
"What do you mean?"
"It means you're an individual. You don't belong to one group or another; rather, you belong to yourself. You could be friends with both demon and people. It doesn't mean anything bad. It means you can be the best of both worlds."
"The best of both worlds...?" Inuyasha had never heard any one say that before. He had never thought of it that way before either.
Inuyasha and Johnny continued to talk while walking through the village. Later, the man said he had to go and help out a friend, and Inuyasha figured he should go back and make sure Kagome wasn't dead or something. The two went their separate ways, but as they did, Inuyasha turned around and looked back for a second, wondering, 'Do I know you?'
Me: Hey, that turned out pretty good. I think I'll stop here.
Scribble: That might not be a good idea, you know. People might not like you.
Me: It's my story, I'll stop where I want. Once again, please don't be too harsh, and good reviews are much appreciated. Thanks a lot, and until we meet again: Long Live the Half Demon!
