'Rejection!'

Artists

Artist's Comments

If there is one thing I loathe, it is dreadful Mary Sues.

Sara of the two part episode 'The Woman who loved Sesshoumaru' is no exception.

There was no originality to her creation - the bastard child of three pre-existing characters rolled up into one (Naraku, Izayoi and Rin, specifically). And her unhealthy obsession with Sesshoumaru - seriously - made me want to gag.

Given her personality and actions/origins, I think she would be the last person Sesshoumaru would ever give a second thought to if she was involved in a canon story - sooner killing her than remotely considering her as a potential love interest (the episodes were filler episodes; never having taken place in Rumiko Takahashi's manga - and thank goodness for that).

Thus, the depiction of how I envisioned Sesshoumaru reaction to such a die hard fangirl of his. Obviously, he is unimpressed, much to her surprise.

This was well thought out, well drawn, and well worth the pain from laughing too hard [emoticon] I love your humor on this and agree that Mary Sues are annoying as .... well Sesshoumaru says it best.

::snickers:: Thanks. [emoticon]

I was thinking of a follow up for this piece (Sara in her battle armor) with the foolish idea that maybe it was her girlish dress that put Sesshoumaru off.

[emoticon] Just thinking of that is making me laugh. It'd be even funnier to have Rin in the background rolling her eyes and saying that *her* "Sesshoumaru-sama just doesn't like idiots" bothering him. [emoticon] I can't wait to see what you come up with. Oh boy the plot bunnies are starting to gather around me now....care to take a few?

By all means, feel free to share. [emoticon]

Heh heh - my initial thought on how to handle it was Sesshoumaru rejecting Sara again (just have to think of the perfect Sesshoumaru decline that doesn't involve killing her outright) and as he makes to leave Sara once again - in a state of complete dejection and wailing about why he refuses to love her - only to have Rin pass by, look up innocently and say 'Because you're trying way too hard, Hime-Sama' - or something typical of her.

Oi, lame - I know. XD

The perfect decline for him -sans killing- is to simply walk away with his nose in the air. And that's not lame, it's pretty in character for Rin....not to mention would be funny as can be [emoticon]

Nah, I think a solitary word would be a perfect fitting for a Sesshoumaru reply. Like 'Pitiful', or for a more lengthy reply, 'You insult this Sesshoumaru with your flights of fancy - begone his my sight' - or something like that. [emoticon]

I have no idea how she is inthe original (Japanese) version of the two parter - but her english dubb? Holy Hell!

She's just...urgh! And the fact Sesshoumaru is somewhat OOC in this two parter just...yeah.

All I can say is thank God she isn't canon.

Nope - it's a two part filler arc in the anime that takes place shortly after the 'Band of Seven' story arc.

Episodes 133 and 134, respectively.

Its entirely Sunrise's brainchild and in no way associated with the manga.

*snickers* Poor Sara, that's what you get for confessiong your obsession to a Taiyoukai! And she was human, wasn't she? She's lucky sesshomaru didn't use her as a scratching post!

No, I don't have PMS, I just really hate you.

I'm a cruel and heartless bitch but I'm damn good at it.

Don't make me angry, I'm running out of places to hide the bodies.

That's the thing - Sara started out as a human, and became full demon after making the pact with the demons when she was on her death bed.

What's funny about it is that she made the very same pact that Onigumo had with his respective demons - and he only became a half demon, at best (who we know as Naraku).

So, how did Sara become full demon after agreeing to the same pact? the only answer I can come up with is Sunrise was aware that Sesshoumaru would hook up with neother a human, nor a half human, so they changed the effects of the demonic pact by making Sara full demon. (blatant Mary Sue ploy right there).

At the point where he destroys the demon that is now Sara, it's made to look like he did it out of sympathy for the obsessive twit - seeing as she was begging him to help her before he delivered teh killing blow; but I like to see it as he destroyed her to save his brother and rid himself of the tremendous annoyance she presented him.

Lol, this is so Sesshoumaru-like!
I really like how it turned out, every piece of it!
Great job!
Oh, and Sesshoumaru's kimono is red not purple...

Actually, in the manga, it is purple. The anime changed it to red, for some reason (probably thought the color purple was too fruity, or something).

I think he looks good in purple. XD

Well... I don't imagine him in a school uniform.
But in traditional and men's clothing, he's perfect.

Awesome job ^^
