The lake stood under the moon, the light reflecting off the crystal clear water. A monk wearing a purple and black robes, with one of his hands wrapped with prayer beads, a girl who wore a green and white uniform and a young fox demon were sitting next to the big oak tree whose branches lingered over the lake. The young girl was lying on her back looking at the stars, the young fox demon watched as the monk constructed a long pole with large sticks. The fox demon chuckled causing the monk to stare at him.

"Quiet Shippo, I cannot concentrate" Shippo shook his head. "You've come up with some dumb ideas before Miroku, but this one is the dumbest" Miroku rolled his eyes and continued on with what he was doing. "Go ahead and laugh" he scoffed, "I'll get her to kiss me, and when she does". Shippo interrupted his rant. "And she'll bare your children" Miroku smiled a goofy smile and moved his head up and down vigorously. "I know, I know, you've told us, about a million times already". The girl who was laying on her back looking up at the sky, pointed to the flower bed that was positioned in front of her. "Why don't you just get these flowers? These are pretty!" she stated. Miroku scoffed again. "No, Kagome, I don't want these flowers, I must have those" he stated pointed across the moat where a small spit of land was, and on that land were purple lilies. In the water were two giant alligators, waiting for one of them to slip up.

'When she learns that I have risked my life for them, the kissing will not stop" Miroku got up from where he was sitting and held the item that he was giving his full attention to. He had tied a stick to the end of his staff and used a talisman to seal it together so it wouldn't break. He then turned towards the tree that Shippo was now leaning against and climbed onto its sturdiest branch. He positioned the staff and placed the end on the ground. "And then you'll bare her child" Shippo stated looking up at him. "Precisely".

"Mind if I point out a problem?" he stated slyly. "I don't take advice from demons" Miroku shot back with a wave of his hand. "Suit yourself" Shippo huffed, slamming himself down on the ground and crossing his arms. Miroku cracked all of his muscles, and jumped off of the tree, the stick bending so that his body barely touched the ground. Before it flew him to the other side of the moat, Shippo got up and looked at him. "Just curious, how are you going to get back?"

Before Miroku could react his pollfolte launched him forward and instead of landing on the other side like he had planned, it landed him on the top of one of the alligators heads. The other one snapped at him as he was launched forward again back to his original position. He was not able to stop so he continued to launch him back and forth. Shippo, who had been watching him from next to the tree, tried to grab his staff to stop him from moving. His first attempt was to short, so Miroku slammed into the ground in front of him. On his second attempt, he went a little too far so Miroku slammed into the ground behind him. Miroku was launched in the air again as a light shot forward snapping the stick in half, causing Miroku to slam into the ground again.

Shippo looked to where the shot was fired and smiled. Yukikio ran forward and helped Miroku off of the ground. When Miroku looked at who saved him, he grabbed her hand and got down on his knee. "Thank you, Yukiko, thank you" He let go of her hand and grabbed his staff, which she had picked up. He threw the staff smacking one of the alligators in the head, and he turned back to Yukiko. Before he could open his mouth, the staff bounced back and hit him on the head. Yukiko gasped and bent down beside him. "Are you alright Miroku? Miroku?" "Yes Yukiko, I'm alright" he replied obviously winded. "Kagome, he has a bump on his head, do you have a bandage?" Kagome rummaged through her yellow backpack and brought out a surgical wrap and handed it to her. She continued to talk to him as she wrapped his head.

"What in the world were you trying to do?" she asked, clipping the bandage together. "He thought that if…!" Shippo started, but Miroku shushed him. Miroku jumped to his feet and pointed to the flowers. "I wanted to get those flowers for you!" "You were being sneaky again Miroku" she laughed, winking at Shippo, causing him to blush. "What? Sneaky? You deserve it" "And you deserve a kiss" Miroku's eyes lightened up and leaned forward, but fell because Yukiko pulled back. "You know that I'm under a spell" she reminded him, but he persisted. "But my kiss will break the spell" Shippo rolled his eyes. "Give it up Miroku!"

"I can only kiss the man I love and then he…" Miroku interrupted. "Must make a vow of everlasting love, I know" he finished as if he heard it a million times. "And prove it to the world!" "What do you think I was doing with the flowers and the alligators almost eating me?" Yukiko sighed, and turned to Shippo and Kagome. "Guys, make him understand" "You know that he's not going to listen, besides, we can't do everything. Yukiko sighed once more, and walked to the edge of the lake, staring at the moon. (Just to let you know that there is a song coming up so, let's do it!)

Yukiko: If I could break the spell, I'd run to him today"

(Miroku looked annoyed and yawned from boredness, which caused Kagome to elbow him in the arm)

Yukiko: And somehow I know he's on his way to me. Sesshomaru, you and I were meant to be. Far longer than forever, I'll hold you in my heart. Its almost like your hear with me, although we're far apart.

(In his minds eye, Sesshomaru finds himself at the very spot that Yukiko has been trapped in)

Sesshomaru: Far longer than forever. As constant as a star. I close my eyes and I am where you are.

(Sesshomaru lifts up the necklace that he gave to Yukiko the day that she was born, and holds it close to his heart.)

Yukiko: As sure as the dawn brings the sunrise we've an unshakable bond.

Sesshomaru: Destined to last for a lifetime and beyond. Far longer than forever

Yukiko: Far longer than forever

Sesshomaru: I'll swear that I'll be true

Yukiko: I'll swear that I'll be true

Both: I've made an everlasting vowel to find a way to you. Far longer than forever. Like no love ever known. And w/ your love I'll never be alone

Yukiko: Far longer than forever

Sesshomaru: Much stronger than forever

Yukiko: And with your love I'll never be alone
