InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Woodin Cylinders And Red Herrings ❯ final Question's answer page ( Epilogue )

Final question response page.

First off, the story is complete. Second, there will be a sequel, sort of, eventually. But it really doesn't have much to do with this story so it doesn't matter.

The mark isn't a tattoo… Oh wait that reminds me.

This fic was inspired by… a fic whose title I seem to have forgotten -_-; It's very good and well written and I lost track of it some time ago. This fic was inspired by the title of one chapter that I didn't think fit very well to the chapter at the moment. I couldn't tell you that in the beginning because it would have given you a big clue. But the stories really are completely different.

That story has a real tattoo of InuYasha's name on Kagome (in the first chapter). But I wasn't inspired by that. If you know the name, please tell me. I would like to find it again, and give the story and author proper respect here. Um, Kagome has a subduing spell on her in that one, completely different from mine. Trust me. See I didn't think that one was fair. Not that mine is fair, but whatever.

I wasn't going to use the tattoo in my fic, really. But I couldn't think of a better way for an ethereal being to mark and embarrass Kagome. It is in a different place and has an extra word. I thought about putting it somewhere else, but like Tora said that was the best place for it, and jewelry wouldn't be embarrassing to Kagome. So I was stuck with the mark like that.

All right back to my fic. The mark isn't a tattoo, and it doesn't look like one. It looks like a birthmark. I guess that it could get her in trouble, but the mark is far enough below her bellybutton that she can hide it easily by avoiding hip huggers and two piece bathing suits and the like.

The mark is so well hidden that most people wouldn't see it, like they wouldn't be able to see anything special about InuYasha's necklace. One difference is that once Kagome uses her subduing spell everyone present would know what the rosary was for, forever, while Kagome's mark would still be hidden.

The hissing thing IS only when she try's to say SIT! and she's angry. The rest of the time she can SIT! him. She can yell and argue and stuff when angry perfectly fine. The reason she would stop yelling after she hissed was because she was frustrated at not being able to SIT! Him, and a little freaked out about being unable to say SIT! She didn't say anything because she didn't want InuYasha to know that she couldn't do that. So, no, I didn't give her a real speech impediment. FYI, when I got upset, more when I was younger then now, and couldn't get a word out, I would stick on one letter like that. That's why I had that happen the way I did, and not have her go mute. Also it follows natural rules better.

The only thing that is permanent is the physical tune up, that includes the brain by the way, everything else is linked to InuYasha's rosary. When Kagome removes the rosary, the "speak" spell, the hissing (such as it is), and the mark will all disappear. So if she wants to take a different mate then, all she will have to is remove InuYasha's rosary and everything will be fine. I figure she would remove the rosary eventually anyway.

I hope that clears everything up now.

Ghoul King and Corwin, um, the reason I didn't respond to your wonderful uplifting and egomaniacal review… I was tired when I posted and forgot to do a lot of things after tallying up the votes. Thanks for your support.

I think that covers every thing. So now for one of the cut scenes from the story. The only one that happened and got written. Enjoy.

InuYasha meets with the dream weaver.

"Come in InuYasha, this is no time to get shy." The smooth feminine voice snapped him to attention. Strange voice sounded like … an emerald, smooth and cold and …green?

InuYasha looked around for the first time, he was standing in the doorway of a round room. Like a small cluttered earthen bubble siting were the well should be. He started to turn around to look outside.

"Nothing out there. Just figments of your own psychological state, and a good helping of nonsense," the voice sighed heavily. "You know I am very busy, or could be if I wanted to, and you called this meeting. Come and sit and clear your mind. You will remember why."

InuYasha walked into the strange room. The walls were cluttered with tools and weapons and artifacts, none of which he seemed really able to focus on. "What is this place?" he asked still spaced out.

"My office." The voice continued, "Well, my office, your mind. Don't worry, it doesn't live here, and will be gone before you wake up."

InuYasha turned to the back center of the room. There, behind a semi cluttered table was a shiny woman, shiny hair of indescribable color, shiny skin of indeterminate hue, shiny eyes of … shininess. All that he could tell about this woman was that she was beautiful, powerful, terrifying, peaceful, and above all, shiny.

"Have a seat, InuYasha, and tell me about your problem." The shiny woman instructed.

InuYasha obeyed, still fuzzy minded.

"Now I can't give you what you want, but I'm the only one you know who can get it for you, at least the only one you know in this realm. And this is the only realm you will ask for this, right InuYasha?" the shiny woman leaned back in her chair. Well, there must have been a chair there for her to lean back into but InuYasha couldn't see it. She smiled, moved forward to lean her elbows on her table, linking the fingers of her hands together she rested her chin on them. "Now, tell me what you want InuYasha."

InuYasha snapped into coherency, an evil gleam coming into his eyes, his mouth pulled up in a snarl, he answered her, savoring the word, "Revenge."

That's it for this fic. I hope I eased your mind Ranae.

Oh! If anyone knows of any good mysteries like mine, tell me. I love mysteries.
