The Swan Princess: Inuyasha Style

Chapter 3;

Things Start to Change Part 2:

A young man in a red kimono let an arrow go. Then in what seemed like the exact second he let go of the bow it hit the target's center. As he was about to reach for another arrow his nose picked up a familiar scent. Turning around he saw her. 'What she doing her? Didn't her and that other girl go on a ride? Why couldn't she had fallen off that horse and break her neck? Then all my problems would be over.' He thought trying to not try and shoot her with the arrow in his hand. When he had turned to glare at her from across the field he yelled, "What are you doing here, wench?"

"That's none of your business, but if you must know I am going to do some target practice." She responded. She then set down her arrows and bow.

"I bet you can't even shoot an arrow let alone hit the bull's-eye." Inuyasha taunted.

"What do you want to bet?" Kagome asked with an evil grin on her face.

"Um… How about this you make it I will be nice to you 'til after that ball my father is holding and escort you to said ball." Inuyasha said sure that she would be unable to make the shot.

Kagome, pleased with the terms on which he had stated, started to look through her arrows to find a good one and asked, "And if I miss. What will happen then?"

Inuyasha smirked and replied, "You will not attend the ball, and I will not be nice."

"Well, let's see I don't think you have ever been nice to me and I probably was going to attend the ball so that doesn't change my life much." Kagome said as she strung the arrow and looked at the target. She then closed her eyes and channeled her energy to the bow. The arrow started to glow a soft pink and then to a light blue as she let go off the bow string and it quickly soared in the air. The arrow hit the target sending it a few yards back towards the forest.

'How on earth did she do that?' Inuyasha thought has he walked to the target to see where the arrow had it. Walking to the target he saw it was in the dead center with the area around the arrow burned. 'Oh yeah, she's a Miko.' He then mentally slapped himself as he yelled, "Well wench looks like you are going to that ball with me." Then while walking back he looked at her and asked, "How did you do that? I've never seen anything like that."

"Well I am a Miko and as such I have spiritual powers which I can channel into almost ant weapon to increase the power of my attacks. Same as demons and their enhanced abilities." She explained as she looked at an arrow in her case which she felt had an imperfect central balance.

"Oh I see." Inuyasha said as he grabbed his arrows and bow. "Well I'm going to find Miroku, see you around." Inuyasha then left the archery field fearful Kagome would remember some past incident and end up shooting her with a purified arrow. Inuyasha then started to walk to the sword room when he heard a crash and a girl scream, "YOU LECHER! I SHOULD CUT OFF YOUR HAND AND FEED IT TO THE DOGS! THAT IS IF THEY'LL EVEN EAT IT! AND I'D DIE BEFORE I EVER LET YOU ESCORT ME ANYWHERE!"

Inuyasha, knowing Miroku probably tried to grope Sango's ass, waited outside the door with a smirk on his face as his friend quickly exited the room with his staff in hand and a bright red hand print on his face. Inuyasha walked over to his friend and asked, "Why did you do that? You know that girl could kill you quicker than even I could run from here."

Miroku looked up at him and smile, "Well…

Flashback

A girl, Sango, dressed in a black and pink flexible suit of body armor entered the sword room and saw a Miroku in a black and purple monk kimono and a fencing mask hiding his face. She then got out her sword and a similar fencing mask and started to stretch before going to the fencing dummy to practice some basic swordsmanship moves.

Miroku looked at Sango and thought, 'She is quite a beauty,' as he walked over to his canteen and took a drink.

Sango noticing he was the only person in the room with her said, "Hello, you're Lord Miroku, right?"

"Yeah, and you are Lady Sango, right?" Miroku replied taking a sweeping glance at Sango from head to toe.

Sango noticing Miroku's wandering eye asked, "Yeah that's me. Well would you like to spar?"

Miroku surprised that she would ask him said, "Yes"

They then got their respective weapon: Sango a dull training sword and Miroku a staff made of rosewood. They then started to spar. Sango had gotten a few good hits while Miroku had only gotten one hit. As the sparring match went on Miroku asked in between blocks, "Would you do me the honor of letting me escort you to King Inutaisho's ball?"

Sango then hit Miroku in an open gap in his ribs. As he fell to the ground Sango said, "I would be glad to go with you to the ball."

"That's great." Miroku said.

As she started to turn around and Miroku started to get up, Miroku's hand wandered to Sango's butt. Sango then turned around and slapped Miroku with all her might sending him into the wall.

End Flashback

… And then she yelled and I escaped. Now let's go before she tries and kills me, or worse." Miroku then started to run towards his quarters. Inuyasha walked behind him thinking about how he was going to the ball with Kagome.

'Why do I feel this way when I think of her? I mean up until we were in that room I have wanted to hurt her. Maybe I should ask Miroku about this. No that lecherous monk would say some crap like I am in love with her. I am not in love with that skinny shapeless little girl. I'm not!' Inuyasha shook his head trying to get these thoughts out of his.

When Inuyasha got to his and Miroku's salon, he looked at his friend as he examined the hand print on his face.

"I can't believe that angel hit me." Miroku said as he poked his cheek and his eye twitched.

"I can, you need to learn you can't going around grabbing girls asses." Inuyasha said as he flopped down on a couch in the middle of the room.

"Well I can't help it. My hand moves of its own accord."

"Yeah sure." Then as quickly as he could he said, "Well I'm taking Kagome to the ball."

"You're what?" Miroku said. He had almost missed what Inuyasha had said until he heard Kagome's name. "How and when did this happen?"

Inuyasha went on to explain what had happened on the archery field. He ended with, "That is one scary duo, the Miko and the female knight. I think we better cool it for awhile around them. I don't think Sango will keep our little incident to herself and being nice to Kagome was part of the bet so 'til after the ball I'm going to try to avoid her."

"Yeah man that sounds smart, I can't she you and her not going at each other's throats. Miroku said sitting on a couch opposite of Inuyasha; he then looked at his friend with a strange look on his face.

"What you looking at?" Inuyasha asked peeved.

"Nothing. It's just funny that you and Kagome can't be in the same room and not try and kill one another. You sure you don't like her deep down." Miroku said as he duck as to not get hit by an object Inuyasha had launched at his face.

"Hell no I don't like that ugly wench. Who could? They have to be blind and deaf and have no sense of smell. Her scent reeks." Inuyasha spat out.

Okay, okay. I got you Inu. Just wondering." Then with a yawn he said, "Well getting my butt kicked by a girl is tiring work. I think I am going to go to bed. Night Inu."

Miroku then went to his room. Leaving Inuyasha to his thoughts.

Well this is whats left of my already written chapters. I'll be going on Vacation the 23rd so I'll try and update before that or I'll up date after I get home with a few chapters, hopefully. Have a great summer and remember, review, tell, and read.
