Two more Chapters.

I'll be taking requestss for Chapter 19 NOW!

:S. Devilin:

I'm supposed to be drawing right now, but my mind told me the faster I write, the quicker the series will end and I can go back to doing what I was born to do. I thought this was a pretty good deal, so here I am.

And speaking of pretty, in our clichéd world, pretty will get you anything…so to speak. In a romantic comedy, when an ugly duckling becomes the most gorgeous swan in the lake, the world seems to stop and cater for them.

If you're ugly…it's all like "screw you, freak" now. It's not right, I know…

We will use Inuyasha as an example, because Kagome has been used too often and is probably suffering from severe identity crisis right now, simply going form fugly to smokin' hot back and forth, back and forth. Inuyasha wasn't the loveliest plant in the garden; he was wittily described as more of a stinkweed that a rose or a chrysanthemum. He had nappy long hair and HUGE bifocals and braces with embarrassing, corrective headgear. His clothes were always baggy because they were secondhand (they used to be Sesshomaru's), he had acne scars everywhere and he had a tendency to stutter.

From Kindergarten through High School, Inuyasha was made fun of. And through Middle School through High School, he was in love with a girl named Kagome, who was beautiful beyond belief.

Or so I was told…

Despite the fact that she made fun of him the most, Inuyasha would dream, and stare, and write poetry (knowing he can't spell for crap) about her. One day, Inuyasha created the biggest Valentine's Day card known to man, just for her. However, since it came from the monstrously ugly dork named Inuyasha she felt so disgraced and pissed that she not only tore it up IN FRONT OF HIS FACE, she threw it in the dumpster, burned the dumpster (because it was contaminated by a creation Inuyasha's) and beaten him up.

Poor Inuyasha was never heard from again since…

…

…Until after college.

Kagome was with her friends at the airport. They were told to pick up the Chairman of Some Random Demon-Ran Company Co. and bring him to the Some Random Human-Owned Company Corp. If he liked what the human company had to offer, they would merge and they will become richer and higher pay and Blah, blah, blah. Kagome doesn't know what he looks like, but they didn't have to wait long, because just then, coming out of the terminal gate was…

JAKEN!

…Just kidding. It was Inuyasha, or at least the much hotter version we see on T.V. every weeknight at around 11:30 P.M.

Now that Inuyasha is pretty, His life was great. He got a huge mansion, a job that will set him for life, even if he worked only a week there (he doesn't don't worry), a chick-magnet car, vacation homes in all seven continents, and plenty of women who wanted him…

…for his fortune. When Inuyasha saw Kagome, he was surprised to see her, but he was also upset.

'There's Kagome,' He thought. 'She made my life miserable because I was ugly, even though I loved her. I bet now that I'm sexy and what not she'll love me and I'll try not to love her back because of the past. BUT, in the long run I will love her because I always have unconditionally and then we'll probably get married and have kids and start the adventure all over again.'

That fool just told the whole fucking story!

'I think I should maybe change my name, and start over.' "Hello, I am the Chairman. You can just call me…" He paused to think. "…Buffy."

"Inuyasha, that's not your name." Miroku said, putting down his sign. He and Sango were his only friends.

Well, that idea went down the drain.

"Inu—yasha?" Kagome stammered, staring at his handsome-ness.

"Hi." Inuyasha said blankly.

"Well, I guess we should take you to your hotel now, Inuyasha. You need to rest up for tomorrow's meeting." Sango said, as they grabbed his bags.

"Nah. I'm not tired, and I don't feel like going to the hotel yet. But I want some ice cream."

Me too.

"Well count me in!" Kagome stated.

"Me too!" Sango said.

"We can go back to that ice cream shop that we used to go to in High School." Miroku suggested.

"Sounds great," Inuyasha replied. "I remember how our parents told us that we were forbidden to go there. I mean, come on, how can you prohibit people to go to an ice cream shop?"

---

"Welcome to CandyFETISH Ice Cream Shoppe, the only ice cream place your momma WON'T take you. How may I help ya?" The six-year old girl at the register said. She had over 10 tattoos and stood on a stool to see over the counter in her cute blue cigarette girl outfit. Her nametag said "Charlemagne" (By the way, you might see the girl and the store again.)

"Hi, two Suicide Girl Sundaes, a quadruple-scoop of Peppermint with whipped cream, and a Raver's Special for me, please." Inuyasha (A/N: Suicide Girls are Puck/Goth/Rocker Pin-up models found on the internet)

"…$3.52, dude." (That's some dirt cheap ice cream!)

Inuyasha pays the girl and she gets makes the orders ready. Miroku and Sango decided that they leave Inuyasha and Kagome alone, to be good friends and let them talk. Inuyasha was uneasy, as he picked at the neon-colored sprinkles and crushed bits of Ecstasy pills with his spoon. Kagome would switch from looking at him to looking at the hot-pink silhouette of a woman on the Sundae dish.

"Inuyasha, I'm sorry for making fun of you." Kagome said, breaking the silence. "And knowing that you told the story in your thought's a few paragraphs back, I am confirming that I love you and want to say that it's okay if you hate me or don't love me like that anymore."

Inuyasha took a scoop of his ice cream and said, "You're late in that apology Kagome. Now you love me?"

"Yes. It's cliché, I know."

"And my clichéd, sped-up answer is I love you too. I kind of ruined the story in my thoughts, so I have to continue loving you despite the past without interrupting reminders of how you treated me."

"Well, I don't know if this will make you feel any better, but…" Kagome took out a piece of tissue from her purse and rubbed it all over her face, revealing ugly sores and scars and blotchy skin. She put on a pair of bifocals that had lenses so thick her eyes were as big as dinner plates. She grabbed her teeth and pulled them out, showing Inuyasha her real teeth: a horribly unnatural, extreme case of gingivitis, complete with smallish green teeth and purplish-black gums. Now that her true self has been exposed, all the dishes exploded by themselves, and Charlemagne almost stated a fire with the waffle iron.

"…I'm hideous" Kagome continued (yes you ARE!). "I had suffered for a rare extreme case of gingivitis last year. I had suffered acne problems in college and tried to treat them by using sharp objects instead of creams and stuff. And my eyes? My vision was horrible since I was in Preschool. Contacts made me look less like a nerd, but only half-worked, unlike these." Kagome pointed to her bifocals

"Now you know how I felt." Inuyasha mumbled. He's getting mushy again folks. "This is a table-turner isn't it? I was ugly and I loved you. Now you're ugly and love me. You didn't love me when I was ugly. And I shouldn't love you now. But I'm not like that."

Aw, Inuyasha…why did you have to ruin it by loving Kagome's ugly ass? She hated you remember?

Hate her back, dammit!

"I love you, Kagome."

"I love you too, Inuyasha."

Damn.

-Sigh-…This friggin' sucks ass. Oh well. Inuyasha decided that his company should merge with Kagome's. They became quite rich and got married and ad kids. They weren't very ugly, but they did go through the same things their parents did.

And so their children's children…

And their children's children's children…

And so on and so forth.

Life is grand, even for the fugly.
