Cannon Slash Fangirls
So, I'm into the third chapter of Vampire Hunter D: Raiser of Gales, and D seems to have an entourage of slash fangirls in this one. And it's only the second book.
*D is interviewing a small town's male teacher who had been abducted by vampires ten years ago. They were interrupted by a schoolgirl who brought them drinks just to get a closer look at D. Hilarity ensues.*
"That's enough of your rubbish." Mr. Meyer rose with a look of disgust and herded the young lady toward the exit. Just as he pulled the door open, an avalanche of girls thumped to the floor, and the teacher's eyes nearly shot out of his head.
"What's the meaning of this? Your rudeness amazes me. The lot of you'd better get out right this minute. And tomorrow, it's thirty strokes with the strap for the leader of this little ring!"
"Make it forty for all we care," said one. "Please let us talk with him, too. We want to hear about the world outside, about the Capital."
"No fair, Mr. Meyer," another protested. "you being in here all alone with this gorgeous hunk of man -- there's something awful suspicious about that."
"He -- hey, don't talk crazy!" Not surprisingly, the normally calm and composed Mr. Meyer lost his head. After all, he was still young. Ordering them to get out, the teacher shut the door in the face of the far-from-cooperative coeds, who were still clamoring as politely as they could for an autograph from D, at the very least.
*While Mr. Meyer may deny it all he wants, page 45 speaks very differently.*
Going down on one knee beside the girl, D took her pulse. His expressionless face didn't so much as glance off to where the thing, whatever it was, had fled. And his sword was in its scabbard. The teacher felt like he was looking at an entirely different form of life. Though the youth was gorgeous enough to make even another man like Meyer swoon, the Hunter seemed even more fearfully unsettling than the thing with its aura of malevolence had been.
So there you go. So far so good. I'm a little worried that the gal in this one is too similar to Doris from the last book. So far the book has danced around saying that she has a virginal beauty. And when she first met D, he saved her from being gang raped. Maybe people in these small towns just have a thing for raping young women teens.
