Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Jounouchi Katsuya, Hanyou ❯ The Terror of the Author's Note! ( Chapter 1 )

Hello all, this is a very important Author's Note, that I beg you all to read or else you'll get dreadfully confused later in the story!

First off, parings:

Jou/Inu/Roku, Sesshoumaru/Kouga, hints at Jou/Seto, Yugi/Yami, Ryou/Bakura, Malik/Marik, Honda/Otogi, Honda/Mai.

Shippo will be older and he will be paired with someone, to tell you would only ruin the surprise, but, first off, yes, it is a guy, he was only used once in the show in an early episode, he's human and to give you two big hints,

he loves potato chips and has a pet monkey, know who?

This is a YAOI story, YAOI, there's angsty stuff and funny stuff, but it's all around YAOI!

There are a few things I'd like to clear up, yes this is an InuYasha/Yu-Gi-Oh crossover, but in later chapters the Yu-Gi-Oh characters will slowly fade out, but they'll be there, but not as often. As well, the characters you'll read about will be OOC. This story basically revolves around Jou, Miroku and InuYasha. Sadly, the lemons will not be for some time because all of the characters, the plot and the story has to be introduced and unfold, this is not a PWP.

Some InuYasha characters will not be used: I cannot, sadly, use every InuYasha character, it would only clutter my story and confuse me as well as you. The characters that will not be in this story are: Kilala, Kagome, Sango, Kohaku, Myoga, Jaken, Rin, Kikyo, Kaede, Kouga's pack, Ayame. However, their characters will be mentioned, just never appear, I cannot grasp Sango's character, she has a strange way of thinking and speaking as well as acting, I sadly cannot write for her, but she will be mentioned, often, as she plays a pivotal, unseen role, so does Kohaku. I don't hate Kagome, I just find her utterly annoying, again, she will be mentioned in later chapters, Rin is however, slightly in this story, except she is portrayed through the character of Chelle and is attached to Jou as opposed Sesshoumaru, so, I managed to fit her in. As for the rest, I just can't stand them or can't write for them.

Naraku is still used, but will not be introduced until the middle: There will be hints at Naraku, such as Miroku's Wind Tunnel, attacks, ect, but he will not make an appearance until after my lemon.

The Well: ah, this was a large debate I held between me, my girlfriend, two of my betas and my bestfriend, at first it wasn't going to be used at all, until, I fugured, it's not InuYasha without the portal. But, you will not need a Shikon Shard, simply because, the Jewel never broke in my verse, to pass through. It will make an appearance later.

Sesshoumaru and InuYasha: the two will have a very loving relationship, much like Mokuba and Seto.

Seto's a vampire?: Yes, again, I did this because when I first wrote this fic it was going to be a Seto/Jou story, I actually wrote the whole thing, edited it, had it ready to post, when the idea for this hit me. Still have the bruise damnit. I was lying in my living room, with my eyes shut, half-asleep, picturing scenes from the fic in my head, when the lemon came up, and at first the InuYasha characters were going to be minor, but, instead of picturing Seto, Miroku kept taking over. So, I went with it for a while, letting it play out, then Inu popped in there and boom, it struck, me, I had my story. So, I deleted the whole thing and re-wrote most of it within four hours (amazing, huh?) but I still had Seto as a vampire. I was going to change it, until I was told to leave it, stupid muses, it still bugs me slightly, but I have it because it gives him a chance to be friends with Jou because they have somethings in common.

InuYasha and Jou turning human: Again, this caused a lot of problems and I still have to re-write a whole chapter because at first I made Jou full Youkai, then changed it, changed it back, then decided that he would turn full Youkai instead of human, then I remembered the myth. So, that entire chapter needs to be re-written, *smacks head on desk* this is so much work, but worth it. InuYasha is human in the second chapter, yet, it's during the day, I just figured that since they're in present it'd be reversed, he'd be human during the day, then, when they go back to Feudal Japan, he'd human during the night. Again, I ran into a problem, because I wanted Jou and Inu human at the same time when they went to the past so it would be a moving moment for the three of them, it caused a lot more problems than I wanted. Mainly because Jou turned Youkai, which is changed to human at a different time that InuYasha turned human in the present. I decided not to change his transformation day, simply because I have a writer's liberty and kept his date differently in present than changed in the past, cause I wanna!

These are the main differences and slight blips that you may notice when reading the fic, if you find I haven't fixed a problem, such as I say Jou has Elven ears when he's human, inform me and I'll change it ASAP. Because of these issuses that I thought were minor, and aren't, the story will have a strange updating pattern, as well, my father is moving and I will not be able to use the Internet until September when it is re-installed. But, if you don't get any updates, fear not, I will as soon as I can and if that happens hopefully all of the problems will be fixed. But I will have access to friends computers, so I'll try and update as soon as I can and as often as I can.

Also, if you really know InuYasha, you'll notice something about each chapter title, if you can get it right, as well as state why you think it, you'll get a glomp and a cookie, and if I ever get that picture done, my Inu/Jou/Roku, picture, but damnit, I can't perfect it! I'll give you a hint (inuyashaworld.com is a great site to check)

Thank you for taking the time to read this authors note, hopefully it'll clear up any problems you may be faced with, thanks once again, now, onto the fic, click the next chapter button!

Mina!
