Hm, not sure how I feel about this one. I started out wanting to write something to portray InuYasha's indescribable character. I know he's everyone's favorite (he's mine, too), but I, also, think he's extremely complex, and sometimes I find his kindness perplexing, considering how he grew up. Through, he was constantly degraded and outcast, he's incredibly protective. Even towards people he doesn't know. In reality, he would be much more sadistic. Of course, that's not the InuYasha we all know and love. :) This poem was done very quickly, and I'm sure sucks, haha, but I would still appreciate constructive criticism. Please read and review!

Misunderstood

Mistrusted and misjudged

He's a stranger to kindness

Except that of a mother's love

And the perplexity of her tears

"What's a half-breed?"

Scorned and alone

You would never expect

That he would swear to protect

The lives of so many.

He says it's for him

"I don't want no guilt trips"

Nevertheless, he took up the mantle

Of defending the weak and vulnerable.

Though outcast, he makes a friend

A girl, with raven hair and ivory skin

He's slow to trust, but quicker to love

When her tears flow

And he, suddenly, has a place in the world

With her.
