Well, four weeks have come and gone, and I have finally finished my clinical practicum. All I can say is that it has been fun yet mentally draining, waking up 4:20am in the morning, getting ready so I can get there by 6am. What kind of place starts at 6?! The meds are due at 8, so would it make more sense to start at 7? I don't know, I'm only the student there and not the big boss of the place.

I can't really complain, it's not over yet, and seeing the job market, it's going to be hard. Whoever said there was plenty of jobs for nurses is a liar.

Some good news is that I won one of the Legend Awards over at Eternal Destiny, a site dedicated to the Inu/Kago pairing. Now I can gloat about being a 'Legend among Legends'. But seriously, thanks to everyone who liked 'The Journey Home' enough to vote for me. It was really unexpected, and an honour. So thank you, for giving us Inu/Kago lovers a small and warm place to place our fics.

Besides, it's the easiest places to post, no fiddling with html and speech marks that won't show up and formatting gone awry. That's always a big plus!



I needed the good news after what I read on mediaminer. I thought the stuff on fanfiction.net was bad enough until a certain someone, who likes to encourage me to read such things, pointed this out to me.

And boy, is it bad. You can tell by the first chapter's title: 'The Start of Pain'.

You're not wrong there.

It's really hard to explain a fic like this, everything is so bad that it begins to be laughable beyond imagination. Funny thing is that you can find many types of these similarly worded typed fics on a site I can't remember the name to, something-something-zilla.com, or other.

The fic begins where Kouga is facing off with a dog demon who is a female dog demon who looks exactly like Inuyasha, except that she is a female, and has her hair in a ponytail, and dressed in a kimono similar to Inuyasha's, showing off her sexy and seductive female body, showing off her claws that were similar to Sesshoumaru's claws... and you get the idea. There is another female demon with big boobies, and with a similar description. Some demon dudes who looks similar to Sesshoumaru but shorter, and then there is Inuyasha, who has a cold expression on his face just like Sesshoumaru's. Why you asked?

Apparently he and Kagome had a fight (obviously) and so in revenge, Kagome thought she could make him jealous by focusing her attentions on Kouga for a while until Inuyasha got angry, they fought, and then the miko would sit him to end the fight.

Of course it doesn't end well, because before that, Inuyasha and Kagome had decided to become mates after the defeat of Naraku, along with Inuyasha's many brothers and sisters.

"WHAT?!" Did I miss something here???

Anyway, because of the claim, Inuyasha and Kouga now decided to fight to the death. Aided with Kagome's sit, Kouga proceeds to kick the poor puppy till his near death. But before Kouga can give the final blow, in pops one of Inuyasha's sisters (is she the one with big boobies, I can't remember). She goes off because Kagome provoked this fight, and therefore she has betrayed Inuyasha. The hanyou agrees, going on a big speech about how he thought Kagome was better than Kikyou until this happened. Kagome starts acting like a little sobby girl, trying to convince her intended that this was not her intention, and Inuyasha starts acting like a stubborn little ADHD boy and refuses to listen. Instead of trying to resolve this matter like adults, the female demon decides to punish Kouga, bashing him like a beach ball, literally. I mean everything he does, does nothing to the demon, and she beats him up so easily. She's like a Mary-Sue on steroids. Even the power from the shards of the Shikon no Tama don't work on her. I swear this fight sounded like it was an episode from Pokemon (including the spectators commentary), except with violence and gore. I'm not joking, if you were brave enough to read it, you will find that it plays out like a video game. The fight scene goes on forever, and I'm glad it was over, until I found out that it was only chapter one.

This was the one fic that had given me so much pain for the last week. You wouldn't know how bad it was until you sat down and read through it. Nothing was redeemable in this fic, everything was bad, plot, wording, grammar, characterisation, everything you thought what made a good fic, is not in this one.

Inuyasha's big boobied sisters? I wonder who had those traits before these horrors were born?! These people come up from no where, just to bash up Kouga. Poor little woofie. I really felt sorry for him, when he was against this creature who dared to be typed onto the screen. He had no chance. Sure I didn't like him that much, but come on, give the dude a chance. Just let him stay away from Kagome.

200 years the age of consent for demons? What? That's another thing. You do know the age of consent back then was not 18? It was not even consent. It was the age where girls were able to bear children (usually 13) and boy were considered a man (age 15). People didn't last long back then, so they had to be considered adults as quickly as possible. So don't go telling me they are of age or whatever, unless it was a modern AU. I may be wrong, but that's just what I think. But for the sake of the manga, I think the age of 18 is the age of maturity, becoming and expecting the decisions of adulthood, not when you can have sex.

This fic was not fun to read, it was pain pure and simple, and now this headache won't go away.
