   Kurama's Foxy Rose 1/30/12 . chapter 4The thing that's tragic about this is all of their roles make sense.
Kagome is paired with EVERYONE at some point via fanfic, harem fics are incredibly common for her (supposed) character, and everyone who's NOT with her apparently wants her.
Sesshomaru x Kagome is the most common pairing for InuYasha - which is kinda sad if you think it, really- so that explains his vague memory in the first chapter. And Sesshomaru is supposed to excel at ANYTHING, even if that's not really possible, if only because he doesn't have TIME to do everything; thus, the clubs.
His preference for redheads is a new one though.
Everyone who hates Kikyo does so because she's pretty spiteful around Kagome and to a lesser extent, Inuyasha. And she usually is cast as Kagome's sister or cousin in AU fanfictions.
Those who don't hate Kikyo find her to be a living (actually, more like WALKING) tragedy and cry out "why?", coupled with the way so many girls are either supposed to be jealous of the way she's so popular with the boys or envy her but can't bring themselves to really dislike her, you get Kikyo's "friends".
Whenever Shippo gets entered into high school, it's because his appearence matches the appropriate age range after aging naturally in the 500 years span between both canon-given eras.
In high school fics, Inuyasha is more often a half-demon than not, despite all the implications that would have on even just school activities (unfair advantages in sports, problems handling the presence of chemicals that would be kept in science labs, unavoidable racial tensions caused by fear alone, and so on and so forth) but not always. And that explains that.
Personally, I find it interesting that I've never seen one where he has form once a month in a school-set AU... admittedly, I tend to avoid those, so it could just be me.
Naraku is portrayed as a bad-ass or at least a bully in such fanfics, but canonicly, his human body was disabled and his human heart is his greatest weakness; so having his incarnations beat up on beat when weak covers both ends somewhat. As for the protagonists who join in, well, he IS the main villain and they spend the entire series trying to kill him- and InuYasha is a very, very long series.
Souta being a punk is not a new concept. His hero-worship tends to make a very big impact on his childhood; remove that and things turn out quite differently.
Grandpa Higurashi is supposed to be an incredibly traditional old man, and portrayed not taking things of any real controversy well. Kagome being loose would not sit well with him, obviously. |
