I changed puffin to Kirara and speed to Shippo..Thanks so much Miko in training :)

well on with the story...

As Kikyo threw flower petals into the lake Kagome floated around waiting to turn back.

"Now don't let my little spell make you sad Kagome. It doesn't even last all day. As soon as the sun comes up."he reassured her.

As the moonlight hit her she turned back to her human form and walked up to Naraku.

"And that's how it works. However every night you have to be on the lake of course and when the moonlight touches your wings." he stopped when Kagome let out a cry.

"Look Kagome this sort of thing doesn't give me any pleasure. Well maybe a tinsy bit but what I really want is your fathers kingdom!"

"Take it then!You have enough power!" Kagome snapped

"Na tried that already. Once you steal something you spend your whole life fighting to keep it."

"But." Naraku paused.

"But?" Kagome asked.

Naraku moved his hands slightly towards Kagome and with the flick of his wrist Kagome was in a gorgeous wedding gown standing in the middle of her kingdom.

"If I marry the only heir to the throne we will rule your fathers kingdom together!" Naraku informed her.

With the wave of his hand hundreds of people surrounded them.

"Legally king and queen. You know?"

"Never!" she shook her head causing the illusion to disappear as she ran away.

"Where are you going?As soon as the moonlight leaves the lake you turn back into a swan. No matter where you are."

Kagome fell to the ground and started to cry.

Close by her two friends Shippo and Koga watched the scene happening before them.

(A year later)

Myoga bent over a case of arrows and began pouring red powder into it.

"The musicians arin't happy."he informed trying to get every once of the powder into the case.

"I know but I have to practice." Inuyasha reminded him putting his bandanna around his eyes.

"Oh no complaint here. I think its going to be loads of." Myoga turned the bucket torwards him and tapped the end spewing red powder all over his face."Fun." he finished annoyed whipping the powder off his face.

"The great animals never going to give her up without a fight."

"Your not still thinking shes alive." Myoga questioned

"I find the great animal Myoga,I'll find Kagome." Inuyasha said full of hope.

"Oh Inuyasha you've looked everywhere. She's not coming back." he tried to convince him but it just wasn't getting through to him.

"The whole kingdom knows that."

"The whole kingdoms wrong. Kagome's alive and I'm going to find her."

"No peaking!" Myoga said pulling Miroku's bandanna over his eyes.

"Animals assemble."Myoga shouted to the musicians.

"Lord Myoga I must object!We are musician." One of the musicians piped up.

"The servants have the day off we had to use someone." Myoga huffed

"But. I'm an artist not a boar!" he stated with a attitude

"You could have fooled me!"he whispered to himself

"Come on guys their harmless."Inuyasha reassured shooting one at his foot. It bounced off leaving a little red circle on his boot.

The musicians gathered into a circle wearing their costumes and began to sing
We are a band
And not a band of animals
This masquerade
Is more than I can bear
There goes my reputation
It's awful, this humiliation
And I've the lion's share

"Down on all fours please and growl ferociously." Myoga demanded

The musicians stood annoyed not doing as Myoga commanded.

"Liven it up a bit I want you to strike fear into my heart."

The musician in a rabbit costume looked up and down the row of men and growled ferociously
"Not you Wesley your a rabbit!For heavens sake"

Myoga shook his head and turned torwards Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Archers ready?"

Inuyasha instantly grabbed his bow and arrow however Miroku felt around for his and had no luck. Myoga tapped his foot "Any time now Miroku!" he teased.

After a moment or two Miroku finally found his bow and arrows.

"Ready."

"Set."

"Go!" Myoga untied both of the mens bandannas allowing them to fall to the ground.

Inuyasha aimed his arrow at his first target and let go of the arrow. It flew torwards the man in the muse costume and got him on the back. Inuyasha had gotten 7 musicians by the time Miroku's eyesight had come back to him. There stood the rabbit just 30 feet in front of Miroku.

He shook nervously pulling the arrow back but when he let go it tumbled to the floor."Oh darn!" Miroku mentally kicked himself for not pulling back farther. For his chance at getting the rabbit worth 100 points had hopped away. He ran after the rabbit in hopes of trapping him in a corner but it didn't work.

Inuyasha took aim at three musicians hiding behind the bush. The fox,elephant and lion shouted together "Duck" as they bent behind the bush causing the duck to stand up "Yes?" but it was to late for him to acknowledge what was to come. For he was struck with a arrow hitting him in the beak leaving a red circle on it.

The musicians couldn't help but laugh because of duck's stupidity. Inuyasha caught them off guard during their laugh session and pounded them with his arrows. He jumped over the bush and started after his next target.

Miroku caught up with the rabbit to see him standing on the balcony laughing while waving at him. Miroku knelled once more and tried to line up his shot just right. As soon as the arrow was in reaching distance of the rabbit he whacked it with a bat sending it right back at Miroku.

A loud "Ummph!" was heard. Miroku was sprawled out on the ground knocked out. The rabbit couldn't contain his laughter and fell of the balcony rolling around on the ground.

All the nobles sitting on the balcony watched in interest.

(song "Practice")

Nobles:Day after day all the prince every does
Is practice, practice, practice

Everyone took their glasses and clunked them together with whoever they were sitting with.

Queen Izayoi:Thinking of her and the way that it was.

She sang as she sat stirring her cup of coffee.

Nobles;Practice, practice, practice

the musician dressed as a duck ran as fast as he could from Inuyasha "He's not happy 'til he has attacked us"

Inuyasha Shoot three musicians hiding behind a tree being carefull not to shoot Miroku who had run by still chasing the rabbit.

"12 seconds." Myoga warned holding up the hourglass.

Nobles:Day after day all the prince ever does
Is practice, practice, practice
Thinking of her and the way that it as
Practice, practice, practice

Miroku had cornered the rabbit against a tree and shoot at it. Somehow he managed to missed and tried another but yet missed again. The rabbit had dodged every shoot he fired.

"5 seconds." Myoga warned again urging them to hurry.
Inuyasha saw the rabbit run his way and gave him a merciless look. Inuyasha aimed his arrow and let go to see the rabbit dodge behind a bush.
Musicians:If we refused then he would have sacked us
So we face a life of target
"4."

"3."

Nobles&musicians:Practice, practice, practice

"2"

"1"

"Time!" Myoga screamed at the top of his lungs.

Myoga turned and smiled knowing how this was going to turn out.

"Animals assemble for counting!" Myoga commanded

Myoga looked every animal up and down counting how many red circles they had on them. Also counting how much they were worth. Meanwhile Miroku pulled out one of his arrows and hit the rabbit three times leaving three little purple circles.

"298!Well done Inuyasha." Myoga congratulated.

"Well let's see here." he looked all the animals up and down again

"Now Miroku for you zero and zero!Ugh and nothing and no and zipp!"

Miroku just shrugged at his words for he knew something Myoga didn't.

"And last but not least the elusive 100 point white rabbit."

Myoga couldn't believe his eyes. On the rabbit was three purple circles.

"I believe thats 300 Myoga

"Good shooting there Miroku. How did you manage that?" Inuyasha patted him on the back.

Miroku walked over to Myoga "Well write it down!300 to 298!" Miroku rushed Myoga writing it down for him.

Inuyasha looked back at the rabbit and back to his friends "Oh. But wait just a moment." he said motioning for the rabbit to turn around. Obeying the rabbit turned around and had his back to everyone. Slowly Inuyasha used his bow to lift up his tail "Sorry Miroku." he apologized

Miroku slumped his posture a little "It's ok Inuyasha. Your a great marksman. One of the best but it takes more than good aim it takes courage." right there and then he caught Myoga's attention

"Speaking of courage on to the next event!" Myoga reminded laughing to himself.

As the three walked over to the next event a young noble girl stood watching. Miroku walked over acting all smooth "hello beautiful would you mind me asking you one simple question?" he questioned. The girl gave his a quizical look and then nodded her head. "Would you do the honor of bearing my child?" he asked with a serious face. At first the girl blushed ten shades of red she felt a hand rub her bottom. She reached up her hand and slapped him.

Authors note

well theres chapter 4!!Who could the young maiden be who slapped him??hehehe...well I'm so excited apparently everyone thinks I'm improving but this chapter i feel is not my best..Ive been having a lot of home problems so I couldn't really focus I will most likely revise this chapter later on..Oh well...Sadly this story is going to be ending soon :(...I'm not to sure if I'm going to continue on and add a lemon at the very end or not. If I do I will set it as its own chapter named "lemon" so all the people who don't want to read it will be warned and all that...so please review and tell me your thoughts and all...
