Disclaimer: Okay, here we go. I do not own the following: Inuyasha(unfortunately), Nightwish, Beauty and the Beast, and the song "Beauty and the Beast" by Nightwish. I do not own any of the characters from Inuyasha, nor do I own any music I may use. So there. That's all there so staff couldn't possibly delete this! Now, we all roll our eyes, smirk and Keep reading. That's what I do.
Summary: Its Beauty and the Beast done Inuyasha style!! And when you think about it, that crossover is PERFECT. I got the inspiration from a number of things; Nightwish and their song called "Beauty and the Beast" Its an amazing rendition of this classic tale., The movie Riggoletto, and the classic Disney movie.
Characters and their relations to the original piece:
Kagome: Belle a.k.a Beauty
Inuyasha :Beast a.k.a The Prince
Sango: Mrs. Potts
Shippo: Chip
Miroku: Lumiere
Naraku: Gaston
Sesshomaru :Cogsworth
Jaken: LaFou
I was thinking of these relations and I felt that what I have chosen fits pretty well. Miroku in Lumieres spot especially, they're both rather lecherous, aren't they? The Curses are a bit different though. And I'll tell you how;
Inuyasha- Once human, now cursed to be a Demon until he finds his true love. A rose seals this curse and if the last petal falls before he finds love, he will remained cursed forever. Sango- Cursed as a Demon Cat Kilala . Occasionally human, but when put under a lot of stress, she changes(kind of like Furuba)
Miroku- Cursed with the Wind Tunnel ( I cant remember the proper name)
Shippo- Cursed as a fox demon Sesshomaru- Cursed by the Sounga. He keeps himself locked up so he wont hurt anybody.
Okay, now then, on with the story!!
Beauty and the Beast

I: Prologue/ Introduction.
Once upon a time, there was a Prince in a very large castle. The Prince was, as it stood, Very selfish
and greedy. The price of royalty it is said. One evening in a powerful and fierce storm, a loud knock
came from the front doors. Upon opening the doors, The Prince had come to face a horrid and very
ugly old beggar woman. For the gift of a single red rose, she wished to stay the night. But appalled by
her appearance, he quickly turned her away. She warned him not to be fooled by appearance alone
, that beauty was found within, but he wouldn't hear of it. Upon turning her away a second time, she
sighed and shook her head. "You shouldn't judge people merely by appearance, child" She said,
shedding her haggard appearance. What stood before the Prince this time, was a beautiful
enchantress, more beautiful than he had ever seen in a woman. The Prince tried to apologize, but the
enchantress wouldn't hear it.
"My boy, what you have done cannot be corrected. You placed this curse upon yourself. Now suffer."
She said, handing him a red rose and turning around. "Oh" She called from behind " If you do not
find true love in someone and that person find true love in you before the last petal from that rose falls,
you and this entire castle will be cursed for eternity. I suggest you shape up." She called, walking out
into the now calming storm. The Prince, upon closing the large doors, stared at the rose warily.
Horrified, the Prince noticed that his hands had begun to deform and become something he had never
known. A Sudden pain pierced its way through the Prince, sending him to the ground in a loud and
painful howl. More beastlike than Human. As his screams filled the castle walls, he swore he heard the
others scream with him. The Next day, the Prince found himself different, and once he looked in the
mirror, his suspicions were confirmed. He truly was a Beast. Hideous and abhorred in appearance.
Silver ears graced the top of his head and his once beautiful amber eyes were now a dark blue, the
whites of his eyes , a blood red. Large scars tore across his cheeks and created the illusion of suffering.
After seeing the fate of his companions, he came to the conclusion that he had gotten the worst of it,
and his heart grew ugly…and empty, so empty that it would seem that in its place was a black hole.
Sucking in anything joyous or merry near him, scaring off anyone bold enough to try to get close to
him. So he locked himself away in the castle. Only an enchanted mirror to serve as his connection to
the outside world. There in his castle, he awaited the fateful day where the last petal would fall, and he
could carry out his days as a beast.
For who could ever love a Beast?
This Story is not like the others. Princess meets Prince and everyone lives happily ever after. No, this
story is much different… There is not a princess to grace this tale with her beauty, only a poor inventors
daughter and her books. Its about a Prince turned into a Beast by his own selfishness and inability to
look at things past their appearance. And about everyone who was forced to suffer along with him as his
search for an unrequited love goes on and on, watching the rose frightened, every time a petal falls.
This story is about a girl who lives for a good book and longs to belong somewhere in the world, but
worries she never can. And about a tormented soul, worried that he can never be loved because he
himself is not beautiful. This story is about how those two paths cross, changing each others lives
forever. So if you've come looking for a story with not problems and a perfect happily ever after ending,
you've come to the wrong place. However, if you are looking for a story in which two lovers have to
fight to stay together, than by all means, stay. Stay and listen to a tale somewhat gruesome, somewhat
ugly, but beautiful at the same time. For Beauty lies within, you will come to learn. The tale of Beauty and
the Beast.
Okay! Short, but that's the Prologue! Um, yea. This is a big jump for me, I don't know how well this
will fly, I hope it goes well. So yea, please review and tell me what you think. I promise, the following
chapters(If there are any) will be longer. ( I wont bother writing if nobody likes it!) So um, bear with
me here. Anyways, heres hoping. Until Next time!
Ja!
