Ladytokyo, KatzeIason69, milkchocolatehot64, and shurashur09 THANK YOU GUYS SOO MUCH! FEEL THE LOVE!!
Inuyasha was still enraptured with his new legs five minutes later when Miroku flew down.
"Well look what the cat-fish dragged in." he said, landing on Inuyasha's outstretched foot.
"Look at you dog-boy! There's something different about you." Miroku concentrated really hard and, suddenly, a light seemed to go off in his head and he smiled in a very creepy way. Inuyasha blanched as he realized what this meant and started bouncing his foot in the hopes of distracting the bird.
The bouncing seemed to work and Miroku's face became pensive again. Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief. *That was too close * he thought. There was a reason Miroku lived on a rock by himself: He was the biggest pervert above or below, everybody knew it and Inuyasha did NOT want to know what had just been going on in that tiny skull.
"I gotta admit I can't figure it out right now." The aforementioned pervert admitted. "But I know if I stand here long enough I'll-"
"HE'S GOT LEGS YOU IDIOT!" Apparently Myoga's patience had disappeared along with the prince's tail.
"He traded his voice to Naraku and got legs!"
"……….I knew that." Miroku claimed after he had picked up his jaw.
"Inuyasha's gonna find his prince." Shippo explained, blushing. "He's gotta make the prince fall in love with him, and then they've gotta KISS!"
"Just kiss?" Miroku winked.
Inuyasha ignored the letch in favor of testing out his new appendages. He managed to get to his feet, and promptly fell over, dousing his friends in sea water.
"And he's only got three days!" Myoga wailed. "Look at him! On legs!" The crab started to pace. "This is a catastrophe! What's his father going to say?! I'll tell you what his father's gonna say! He'll say he's gonna kill himself a CRAB, that's what he father's gonna say!" Myoga threw up his claws in despair and did an about-face in order to march to his doom. Muttering on the way. "I'm gonna march down there right now and tell him…. And don't you shake your head at me mister!" He shouted at Inuyasha who had grabbed him to prevent his escape.
Myoga knew he couldn't escape the prince's grasp so he settled down to think.
"Maybe there's still time." He said "If we could get Naraku to break the deal you could go home and marry Kagome and just be…." Myoga trailed off as Inuyasha's face crumpled. He put his head into his claw and caved into the guilt that had appeared with that look.
"And just be miserable for the rest of your life." He admitted. "All right, all right. I'll try to help you find the prince."
Inuyasha's face lit up and he mentally congradulated himself for conning the crab into helping. He put Myoga down and got ready to try standing again. Miroku, who had been forgotten in the interlude, got an eyeful of demon-prince and an instant nosebleed. Reaching deep down and tapping into his seldom used self-control, Miroku grabbed a nearby piece of broken sail and set about helping his friend cover his considerable assets. Chanting * He's a different species * in his head all the while.
Meanwhile, 100 yards away, Ah-Un picked up a strange scent. He instantly recognized it, and this time he was determined not to let it escape.
Without warning he took off towards the source, leaving an inwardly confused prince behind.
"Where is he going?"
Sesshomaru quickly took off after his wayward dragon, wondering what had gotten him so worked up.
