~*Chapter 3- Target Practice*~

~*The Li Kingdom: Courtyard*~

Syaoran, Eriol, and Rogers were all in the courtyard getting ready for target practice.

"The musicians are not happy." Rogers told Syaoran.

"I know, but I have to practice." Syaoran explained while putting orange chalk covered arrows in his quiver and blue ones in Eriol's.

"Oh no complaints here. I think it's going to be loads of..." Rogers paused for a second when he picked up the bucket that had chalk dust in it still. He hit the bottom of it and he wound up getting orange chalk dust in his face. ".Fun."

"The great animal is not going to give her up without a fight." Syaoran said to Rogers with a blindfold over his eyes.

"Your not still thinking she's alive?" Rogers asked him wiping the last bit of chalk dust off his face.

"When I find the great animal, Rogers, I'll find Sakura." Syaoran said

"Oh Syaoran, you've looked everywhere. She's not coming back. The whole kingdom knows that." Rogers said to him. He was worried that Syaoran would never get over the fact the Sakura might not even be alive anymore.

"Well the whole kingdom is wrong. Sakura's alive, and I'm gonna find her. You ready Eriol?" He told him getting his one of his arrows out.

"No peeking." Rogers told Eriol while he was looking around lifting his blindfold up. "Animals assemble!" Rogers called to the musicians in the courtyard.

"Lord Rogers I must object. We are musicians!" Ayei complained to him.

"The servants had the day off. We had to use someone." Rogers explained.

"But I'm an artist not a boar!" He exclaimed.

"Could have fooled me." Rogers said under his breath.

"Come on guys they're harmless." Syaoran said to them. #We are a band and not a band of animals. This Masquerade.# (whole band)

#Is more than I can bear# (Musician dressed as bear)

#There goes my reputation, it's awful this humiliation # (whole band. Hans comes out trying to put on his other flipper. Hans got the duck costume. He ended up bumping into the band members and knocking them down.)

#And I've the lions share. #

"Down on all fours please and growl Ferociously!" He waited a few seconds. The musicians just stood there. "Liven it up a bit! I want you to strike fear into my heart!" He waited another few seconds. Than, a musician dressed as a white rabbit gave a huge roar. Rogers Almost jumped out of his skin.

"Not you Wesley! You're a r-r-rabbit for heavens sake!" Rogers yelled at him. Wesley just thumped his foot on the ground a few times. "Archers! Ready! Set! Go!" He pulled their blindfolds off and they stared.

Unfortunaly Eriol got confused. "W-whoa whoa! AHHH!!!" He fell down on while trying load his bow. As for Syaoran he was hitting all of them. He saw three of them behind a bush.

"Duck!" The Musician dressed as a fox yelled.

"Yes?" Hans popped up and got hit in the jaw. Eriol chased after the white rabbit hoping to hit it for big points, but when he shot his arrow Wesley hit his arrow back at him with a thick tree branch and it hit him in the face.

"Duck!" The musician dressed as a bear yelled.

"What?!" Hans popped up and once again got hit in the head with Syaoran's arrow. (poor Hans!)

~*Li courtyard: Porch*~

# Day after day all the prince ever does is.practice, practice, practice. # (all the kings, queens, dukes, etc clinked their tea cups together)

#Thinking of her and the way that it was. # (Yelen)

#Practice, practice, practice. # (everyone. One of Syaoran's arrows flew by and hit Yelen's teacup and broke it. She also got orange chalk dust all over her nose.)

#He's not happy 'til he has attacked us. # (Hans went running across al the table and ruined Yelen's tea party. Everyone ducked as another one of Syaoran's arrows flew by.)

A bunch of the musicans were hiding behind a tree and when the poked their heads out Syaoran shot them all, as Eriol ran by chasing Wesley still trying to hit him. Syaoran turned around and hit Hans which sent him sliding down a hill and running into the other musicians, they all ended up on his shoulders while he kept on sliding.

"Twelve seconds!" Rogers shouted.

#Day after Day all the prince ever does.practice, practice, practice. Thinking of her and the way that it was. Practice, practice, practice. # (Everyone. Hans slid up another hill and everyone flew off his shoulders and Syaoran once again hit everyone of them while in the air.)

#If we had refused he would of sacked us. # (musicians)

"Five seconds!" Rogers shouted again.

#So we live a life of target practice . # (musicians. Eriol had Wesley against a tree and tried shooting him tree times. He missed every time.)

"Three, two." Rogers counted down.

#.practice, practice!# (everyone. Syaoran saw Wesley and shot an arrow at him as he was jumping into a bush.)

"Time!!!" Roger shouted. "Animals assemble for counting. Aha! Very good, very good." Rogers said as he went down the row counting the points that Syaoran got. "You scored plenty of 5-pointers that's for sure." He said looking at Hans.

"Sorry, Hans, why don't you take a few days off?" Syaoran chuckled, wiping calk dust off of his face.

" Moose are worth 2 points, 16 hits.that equals a score of, a total of 32. Ten 7-pointers." Rogers said. While he wasn't looking Eriol hit Wesley 3 times with one of his arrows to make it look like he had hit him. ".And fourteen 3-pointers, for a total of 298. Well done, Syaoran! Now Eriol, lets see for you..ummmmm zero and zero and uh nothing, and nil, and uh zip!" he said looking down the row for blue on the "animals". "And last but not least the elusive 100-point.white rabbit." Rogers took a look at Wesley and almost dropped the quill he was writing with.

"I believe that's 300 points Rogers." Eriol told him while walking to stand behind him.

"Good shooting Eriol." Syaoran praised him, not knowing what Eriol had done.

"Well, write it down. 300 to 298." Eriol told Rogers while marking it down.

"Oh but wait just a moment, Rogers." Syaoran chuckled and told Wesley to turn around. He lifted up the cotton ball tail and they saw the orange print from Syaoran's arrow on his butt. He chuckled again. "Sorry Eriol."

Eriol laughed. "You're a great marksman Syaoran. One of the best, but it takes more than good aim, it takes courage." He said. While Eriol was saying this Rogers got an evil look on his face.

"Well than! How about a quick round of catch and fire?" Rogers asked with the same evil look on his face.

"Ca-ca-ca-ca-catch and fire? You mean me?!" Eriol asked shocked.

"You're the only on with enough c-c-c-c-c-courage." Rogers said while making fun of Eriol. Eriol just continued to look shocked and blubbered.
