Authors Note: Beauty and The Hanyou
Hey everyone! Nice to know that you've read this far. I decided to throw an authors note in here so I could tell you personal thoughts, ideas, and disclaim anything I do not own. So let's begin shall we?
Q and A
Q: Where does the story take place. In the modern era or in the feudal era?
A: The modern era. I thought about making them live in the feudal era, but it seemed to cliché. I wanted to bring some spice to this piece so I set it up in modern times.
Q: Where is Shippo?
A: Although I haven't been asked that question yet I'll answer it. He hasn't come into the chappies yet. He may just appear in the last chappie if I feel he should.
Q: Is Sesshomaru a good guy?
A: Yes, Sesshomaru is a good guy. He plays the role of the nice older brother instead of the nasty one in the show and manga. (Even though we rarely see it, it's obvious that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru do care for each other on some level)
Q: How old are Sesshomaru and Rin?
A: Sesshomaru is about twenty-one in this fanfic. Rin is nineteen or twenty.
Q: How old is Inuyasha, Miroku, Songo, Kagome, Hojo, and Kikyou.
A: Inuyasha is seventeen, Miroku is seventeen, Songo is sixteen, Kagome is sixteen, Hojo is seventeen, and Kikyou is eighteen. Everyone besides Kikyou are juniors; Kikyou is a senior.
Q: Did Kikyou really hook up with Naraku?
A: Yes. She left handsome Inuyasha for gross Naraku!
Q: What will happen with Naraku now that Kikyou is dead?
A: We can't tell for sure if Kikyou is dead. As for Naraku well…possible revenge might be in the near future.
Q: Is Kagome going to die?!
A: READ AND FIND OUT! I don't reveal information like this out to people who do not read the story.
Q: Why did Sesshomaru throw Tetsusaiga?
A: He wanted to save his little brother. He didn't kill Kikyou because it's between Inuyasha and Kikyou. Sesshomaru isn't involved there.
Q: Will there be a sequel?
A: Not sure yet. I still have to decide the outcome of this story.
Q: Will you write anymore Disney themed stories?
A: Plan on it! I especially love Hercules, The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Mulan, Aladdin, and The Lion King.
Favorite Chapter
I hate it when I have to choose a favorite chapter! I like my chapters, but some stick out more than others. I have written fourteen, so I'll give you my top three. Number one is my favorite. So here we go…
Bruised and Broken
Memories of You
Beauty and The Hanyou
I like these chapters for specific reasons. Bruised and Broken is number one because Kagome selflessly throws herself in front of a dagger that is going to kill the love of her life. Memories of You is second because I love that first meeting between them. It sparks the line "You seem to like everything about me." with the reply "What's not to love.". And Beauty and The Hanyou is my third favorite because it has the song from Beauty and The Beast in it. It is a parting moment that brings tears to both the eyes of myself and the eyes of my readers.
Parings
Inuyasha/Kagome: They are my favorite pair.
Sesshomaru/Rin: Even though Rin is young in the shows and manga, she's mature here.
Miroku/Songo: Too cute not to put together. Songo certainty knows how to control her man.
Koga/Ayame: Loved them together since I first saw them.
Hojo/Kagome: Even though it's never ever gonna happen I like the thought that I her final hours he becomes a close friend. Still Inuyasha and Kagome are the best.
Kikyou/Naraku: It's soo obvious they belong together. Both evil!

These are some of my fave songs. I hope you'll like them too. If possible give me some idea's about the next chappies songs when they come. Also tell me what you think of these.
Beauty and The Beast Relation
Finally, what does this story have to do with Beauty and The Beast? Well, think of Inuyasha as the beast and Kagome as Belle. The beast at first was misunderstood and everyone hated him. He did not know love until it was shown to him by the kind big-hearted Belle. Kagome befriended Inuyasha, and told him that she loved him. He eventually opened up to her like Beast opened up to Belle. Also there is some good symbolism in Beauty and The Hanyou that compares to the classic tale. Research the characters and guess who is who. Also the dagger that plunges into Kagome's back symbolizes the rose that is loosing it's petals. Kagome and Inuyasha's time together has run out as her blood shrouds her in crimson. Instead of Inuyasha. The Beast dying, Kagome is dying. Inuyasha is loosing Kagome and therefore is dying internally. Also Kagome, like Belle, saves the beast.
