InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Feudal Fairytale Ficlets ❯ Frank ( Chapter 26 )

A/N: Botan and I have a thing about AU fics. Mainly, we hate them. Okay, not all of them; just the “Kagome invites Inuyasha and the gang over to her time for a school dance” ones. C'mon. If your highest concept of love is prom, then you are in a sad state. Inuyasha has many epic qualities to it (Homer, Jane Austen, Brothers Grimm, etc.), and to reduce it to an overrated rite of teenage passage is bordering on insulting. Seriously, he protects her with every fiber of his being. He kills things for her. That is love. And that is our opinion. You may commence with the hate mail.

 

Witty Disclaimer: We don't own Inuyasha; however we are capable of stealing hairs and making Shikigami counterparts, complete with fun-noodle swords.

“Ne, Inuyasha—come home with me tonight?”

 

“What for, wench?”

 

“There's a dance at school tonight—“

 

“What's wrong with you?” he howled. “This is a quest. We've got to defeat the forces of evil, save the world, defend the helpless, and discover our destinies. Does the word epic mean anything to you? I've bled for you, cried for you, showed you the depths of my soul, and the most romantic and meaningful event you can imagine for us involves shuffling to sappy tripe in a hot gymnasium while all your friends watch?”

 

“And you wonder why I prefer Kikyou.”
