Well now, Who I Am had some success! It surprised me, I didn't think it would get many reviews at all, one or two, etc. I know this is coming along a little quick, but this time this one won't be a one-shot. It might not get finished until a while has passed, but I think it'll be worth it to read. You'll get what it's about as soon as you read it, but it's basically everyone else's thoughts on 'who Inuyasha is.' Trying to capture their immediate thoughts on the lovable hanyou will be interesting, so I hope you can enjoy this too! First up is (of course) Kagome. I also warn you . . . it is short, very short! n.n

Summary: ('Who I Am' Parallel Fic) In our eyes, he's an arrogant, irritable, (cute) hanyou. He's our friend, our foe, our protector. Through those masks he's Inuyasha, but you ask us: Who do we think he really is? Well, these are our answers.

You ask me this; "Who is the hanyou?"
I say; "That's Inuyasha."
You ask me this; "Who is Inuyasha?"
I say; "My friend, protector, leader . . ."
You ask me this; "No, no . . . Who do you think he really is? What is he to you?"
(You just get more and more complicated, you know? Anyways. . .)
To that I have to say this:
Inuyasha. That's who he is. However, I think you're talking about what makes up Inuyasha, right? Who he is? What he acts like? His characteristics! Am I correct? That's a complicated question. Well, maybe the complicated thing isn't the question . . . more like the answer. Who am I kidding? It's Inuyasha himself that's complicated!
Well, he is a friend, a protector, a leader . . . (sometimes . . .) Those answers didn't satisfy you though.
Let's get one thing straight. I don't like anyone referring to him as 'a hanyou.' It's not the most polite thing to say. You wouldn't want me to say "It's another stupid reader!" would you? You're not stupid, just like Inuyasha isn't a hanyou. He's more like a . . .
A special . . . person. Not impaired or anything like that. He's just different, (not in a bad way. Most of the time.)
No, I don't know what it's like to be a hanyou. (Do you?) I can't start to imagine having to live without a family that cares, shelter, having to struggle and steal for food. And clothing, and everything else you'd need to survive!
I can't know what it's like to not have a shoulder to cry on, someone to lean on and let them take away your worries . . . because I've always had someone there for me.
But those are the things that make him Inuyasha. Without his learning to survive on his own, we'd all probably be dead long ago.
(If he hadn't wanted the jewel, I wouldn't have met all these wonderful people in the feudal era.)
Who do I think Inuyasha really is? What is he to me?
Inuyasha really is . . . an oversized puppy who needs someone to love him, even though he won't admit it. (Rather drop dead, he would.)
He is a demon, and a human. He is the only one to wield Tessaiga. He is one of two heirs to the throne of the western lands . . . a prince of sorts. (Very . . . odd sorts.)
He is my leader. He is my friend. He is my protector. He is something like my knight in shining armor. (That's red . . . and cloth . . . and red.)
He is Inuyasha. There's nothing to say about it. His temper, his attitude, his style, all of those things are who he really is. He isn't really all mister tough guy. He is soft on the inside, and that's who Inuyasha really is.
Someone who loves (even though he won't say it) his friends (and he won't say that either) and would protect, save, yell, play, live, talk, eat, sleep, do anything with them to keep them happy and safe. He just has different ways of showing and doing it.
To me, Inuyasha is just that- Inuyasha. I can't rightly explain it . . . But when it's nighttime, and we're supposed to be asleep, it comforts me to know he's watching. He's always watching. (Even at the wrong times) That's okay though.
Or he's like a bunny. You know, the little pink, fluffy, energizer bunny on the television? That's what he's like! (I'm sure he'd absolutely love being called Mr. Cute Pink Energizer Bunny.) It just never dies, it won't drop dead. It's been on the television for years, yet it never . . . fades away, dammit!
Whoops, I didn't mean that word . . . but it's the truth. Inuyasha just won't give up. Like the energizer bunny who just goes on and on and on and on and on and on. I told him this one time. The response I got wasn't the most pleasant thing, but I can't say I blame him. (Would you like to be called a cute fluffy battery bunny?) I think he said something like this:
-
"What the hell? That pink thing?!" (We were watching the television. Commercials. Hate commercials.) "How can you even begin to compare me to that . . . thing?! I look nothing like it!"
"I know that, and it's not the point, Inuyasha. The point is, is that you act like it does."
"What? Do I go around beating on that . . . thingy . . . on WHEELS?! It doesn't even WALK, it rolls around! And it's PINK, Kagome! Pink! I am not pink!"
"I never said you were . . . but on the contrary, your face it quite red . . ." (It was. Anger made him flush slightly)
"To hell I am! You need to go get your eyes checked, woman. I am no way in hell simliar to that . . . whatever it is."
-
He didn't understand me at all. (What's new there?) You do though, right? I'm not turning crazy, am I? I can see the comparison clearly, it makes perfect sense to me!
(But then again; I travel through the past and fight demons . . . maybe I am metal . . . hmm . . .)
However, on a more serious note, let's say he's like a fire.
When he's mad, (like a fire,) he 'burns' down everything in his path. When he's sad, (like it's raining,) his spirits 'drown'. When he's happy, (like a fire,) he stands tall, and doesn't let anyone ruin his fun. (Usually ending up in a sit command . . .)
When I'm near him, (like a fire,) I feel warm, inside and out. It's comforting to have him near.
(This sounds overly cheesy but . . .)
He's also something of a beacon, my light. I follow him and I can't go wrong, even if he does.
That's my conclusion. He's nothing special, (but he is.) There's nothing to say about it, Inuyasha is just . . .
Inuyasha. There's no one else like him. (No matter his faults,)
I like him just the way he is.

Authors Notes: Yes folks, that is the end of Kagome's part, more's coming later. (It was short!) I didn't want it to be too blunt (her saying "Oh, I'm madly in love with him!") but I think I got the point across she likes him. Right? Cute little Inuyasha . . . Mmm hmm, gotta love him! (Never should he change!) Muwhaha! n.n;
Review, please and thanks! Get a move on it, slackers!
Note: I will not be updating on a regular schedule. This is just for fun, it will be updated when I have the time and when I can. It's only for kicks. I will get more up; I just don't know when. Yes, they will all be short chapters/parts.
