My inner fangirl is clawing her way to the surface of my psyche like an Alien hatchling on steriods.

Oh man...I am a TOTAL WRECK waiting for the scans/translations of the most recent Inuyasha manga episode (chapter 465) to be posted.  Really.  I can't stand the tension.

So much has happened in the last few weeks...but the idea of Kikyo actually dying (for good this time) has me really sad.  I thought for sure she'd survive to see the end of the conflict with Naraku.  She really deserved to, considering the whole mess started basically because of her in the first place.  If Onigumo hadn't fallen in love with her, he'd never have called on the power of all the random demons in the area to consume his soul (and turn him into Naraku) so he'd have the ability to pursue her.  She's the whole reason he exists.  It seems wrong that she won't be there to see him get his ass handed to him.

Oh, she'll probably show up as a hazy image and a "voice over" a la Obi Wan Kenobi at the end of the Star Wars epic...maybe Kagura will make a celestial apperance too, for that matter.  But it's not the same *whines* as her actually being there!  Japanese fairy tales are all about unrequited love and revenge.  Poor Kikyo got a lot of the first ingredient but nothing of the second.

I've seen a scan, though, of the single MOST satisfying (in my opinion) moment of the entire manga series so far.  Won't say what it is (if you're a fangirl you probably already know anyway) but I gotta say it made my entire week.  Maybe my entire month (it's been a slow month).  I'm all *sparkle*hearts*flowers* over it.  I freaking love Rumiko Takahashi tonight. 

*le sigh*

That's just the first draft, though. I think there's a few lines I want to clean up. But the jist is still there. :)

I think the better majority of the fandom is fangirling right now....or squealing in utter disgust, but they can kiss my ass (particularly those who had the coniption over 147-148's kiss....guess what guys...it's freaking CANON NOW!! XD) Sorry...don't mind me. XD

ANYWAY.... Yeah. Certainly a very satisifying and fitting end....course, it's got the fan art flowing too........



It still needs some serious work... but hell.... :D
