Comment/Review:
When I first saw your story in the list, I started laughing my ass off before even reading it. I've never really been a serious fan of the "crossover", but I LOVE Family Guy and just had to see what you'd come up with. In the beginning, as the story started like an episode of Family Guy, I think you nailed everything perfectly, including them thinking they'd cut to a clip, and Chris talking to his booger. Then the story got a little more serious than I was expecting, not that that's a bad thing, but your older and more melancholy Kagome took me by surprise. That remark about "all in the past" makes it clear that in this universe, Kagome has never returned to the past after the completion of her mission. That touch of seriousness brought the story back from the brink of Slapstick, which was more what I had been expecting at first, because who can really take Family Guy that seriously, right? After all, the show is written by manatee. (Inside joke for South Park lovers.) In the back of my mind, I was kind of hoping that you'd call Brian out for being an anthropomorphized canine, for one thing, but instead, your Kagome magically overlooked the fact that he's a talking dog, just like everybody else. I think the only time I've ever heard them mention anything about it at all was the episode where Brian went back to the farm house where he was born, and when confronting the man who owned his mother about remembering which puppy he was, he said "I was the one who could talk." and then the guy was like, "Oh yeah, Brian!" or whatever. But accepting for the moment the delusion that Brian really is a 'person', I think he'd be a good match for Kagome. She certainly has proven herself to have a fetish for white dogs, and honestly, how many other options are there? LOL. Brian's a good guy, so long as he doesn't let Petter talk him into doing anything stupid. Maybe it's just the Furry in me talking, but if Inuyasha is out of the picture, I doubt Kagome could be happy with some "wimpy human", as our favorite hanyou would say. And I bet Brian wouldn't snap at her and call her a stupid wench for wanting to touch his ears!
