Myoga, the city con artist (and coward), handed over the disguise Inuyasha
had requested. He knew better then to question what Inuyasha wanted with a
disguise such as this one. In the city, your business was your own and no
one else's.
Inuyasha smirked as he slipped into the monk robes, and slid the hood over his head. With the costume, he looked like a normal human because it covered his hair and ears. He raised his hand to Myoga before stepping out into the soldier crowed streets.
"Be careful!" Myoga called after him.
Inuyasha's smirk deepened as he observed the soldiers. The palace gates would be fairly unguarded, so if he got into trouble...he could use his claws to escape.
He cut in and out of alleys, until he reached the main palace gate.
"You there!" a voice cried out, "What brings you here?"
Inuyasha glanced up briefly and saw a guard running his way, before bowing his head to hide the color of his eyes.
"I have urgent message that needs to be delivered to the king. Immediately." He said calmly, allowing a foreign accent to mask his voice.
The guard held out his hand, "Give it here. I'll deliver it. The king is in quite a panic...his only daughter has gone missing. Did you hear?"
Inuyasha kept from laughing, "This is the first I've heard of it. I wish him best of luck in his search." His fingers were crossed.
The guard sighed, "As do I." He took the envelope, "I'll get your message to him as soon as possible."
"My greatest thanks." Inuyasha bowed, and with a swish of his robes, started to walk away.
The guard also turned, and the massive gates opened.
If he had looked back, the guard would have seen the 'monk' shed his robes, and leap onto the roof tops.
But he didn't.

Sesshomaru was not one to worry easily. However, as the hours ticked by, He felt more and more concerned for Kagome's safety.
Naraku's continuous ranting and pacing didn't help either.
"Where could she have gone?! We were to have dinner tonight! Where IS she?!" Naraku kept mumbling to himself, despite Sesshomaru's many attempts to get him to shut up.
Naraku was annoying, Sesshomaru decided, maybe he shouldn't force Kagome to marry such a slug.
"Highness!" A guard entered the throne room, "I have a message from the front gate!"
"Bring it here." Sesshomaru held out his hand, "You may leave now. We need as many soldiers as possible around the castle, and in the city."
He frowned when he examined the envelope.
"What is it?" Naraku asked , but Sesshomaru ignored him, and sliced the paper open.
His narrowed eyes flickered over the poorly penned paper, and finally, rested on the sapphire ring in his hand.
Sesshomaru swore and quickly strode out of the throne room. Naraku jumped up and followed his to outside the front gate.
The king was silently staring at the scattered robes lying on the street.
"What is it?" Naraku cautiously asked
"Kagome's ring...and a ransom note." Sesshomaru said evenly, "We've been tricked."

"Do you mean to tell me that Mr. High-mighty-hanyou-thief ...is a NICE guy?" Kagome asked incredulously
"Yeah." Miroku went about making tea, "He saved my neck about a dozen times."
"Reeeeally." Sango said thoughtfully, "Oh...you're making the tea wrong."
"Huh?"
"You have to put the leaves in when the water is HOT." She answered with a nod of her head.
"Leaves?" Miroku made a face, "What leaves?"
Sango sighed in exasperation, "Just untie me, and I'll make it for you."
Miroku stared at her in an odd way.
"I won't try to beat you up." Sango said innocently
"If you untie her...you have to untie me!" Kagome said
Miroku shuffled around, "Ummmmm...Inuyasha will kill me."
"No he won't." Sango said reassuringly, "We won't let him."
Miroku grinned, and flipped a knife out of no where.
"Do you have a lot of those on you?" Kagome asked curiously as he cut her bonds.
"Yep!" He said proudly, "I have them hidden in straps and pockets. They come in handy!"
"See! You're not such a bad guy after all!" Sango said as he cut her ropes.
She got up and stretched happily, "Now I shall make the t-"
That's when he groped her bottom.
Kagome's eyes widened twice their usual size, while Sango shrieked and slapped him.
"What do you think you're doing, you perv?!"
"What's all the noise?" Inuyasha strolled in the door.
"Oh." Was all he said when he saw the scene.
"You don't seem very surprised." Kagome pointed out
"He's a pervert. I told you that already." Inuyasha shrugged, "HEY!"
Kagome was pulling on his dog ears.
"HOW DID YOU GET UNTIED?"
"Stupid question." Sango pointed at Miroku, who blinked angelically.
"Did you deliver the note, Inu?"
"Yeah-STOP PULLING MY EARS!"
"Just checking if they're real." Kagome held up her hand defensively
"A pretty girl like you shouldn't do that." He said without thinking
Sango raised an eyebrow over the teapot, and Miroku seemed to be in shock (He'd never heard Inuyasha say something like that before).
Kagome stuttered out a word, "P-p-p-pretty?"
Inuyasha just flushed and pretend he was too busy thinking to hear her.
