InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Shippo's first hunt! ❯ Myoga the mighty hunter ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter three: Myoga the mighty hunter!

Author note: Lets see what Myoga knows about hunting.

(Chapter three begins now)

Myoga had for the most part landed safely and was still in the process of pulling out Shippo's thorns. Shippo was now hot, tired, hungry, and feeling like a big loser. Inuyasha still high in the trees suppressing his laughter. Myoga was actually being useful for once and calming Shippo down.

Shippo: well none of this would have happen if Inuyasha would have helped me in the first place and keep his promise to me! (Sniffing) I wish Kagome was here. She way more nicer that that stupid hanyou Inuyasha.

Myoga: I could be of assistance if needed.

Shippo: really? You'll teach me how to hunt?

Myoga: of course I been around much longer than both you and Inuyasha. I'm so good that I even with hunting with Inuyasha's father.

Shippo: cool. (Yup he learn this from Kagome.)

Poor Shippo, if only he had Inuyasha's hearing he would have heard Inuyasha gagging at that. Myoga was afraid of his own shadow. He didn't know a thing about hunting he was a freaking parasite for crying out loud! This was one thing Inuyasha had to see with both eyes wide open and the Tessiaga ready at hand. Though the young kitsune filled with big dreams about pulling off his first hunt all by himself was intoxicating.

Shippo: ` If I could hunt then Kagome would be pretty proud of me and praise me. While Inuyasha would have to treat me better and he wouldn't be able to call me names, or hit me on the head.' Come Myoga let's turn me into a great hunter!

With that, the flea and the kit went deeper into forest. While Inuyasha keeping close enough not to be seen but close enough to save the two morons if anything should happen. Myoga was sweating it now, why did he have to go and tell a fib like that. He hated hunting it was a very dangerous situation one could be step on, gored, or worst killed. Though the determination on the Shippo's face kept him from saying anything but he knew that he had to think of something very fast. Finally, there were some animals lurking and the hunt resumed.

/ Lesson one: Know what your after. /

Myoga: Okay Shippo this is lesson number one, which is knowing your after.

Shippo: what do you mean?

Myoga: Do you want to hunt after big prey or little prey? I myself would prefer it if we went after smaller prey for I am not ready to go after anything big yet till you improve basic skills.

Shippo: Okay!

Myoga: keep your voice down. You'll give away our position.

Shippo: oh right. Let's go after those rabbits.

Myoga: `damn I knew he would rush into things.' (Sighs) fine.

/ Lesson two: Be the prey to get the prey. \

Myoga: listen Shippo be the kitsune you are and change into the prey you are after.

Shippo: Change into a rabbit?

Myoga: Of course that way you be so close you can't fail. I'll watch from here.

Shippo: [transforms into a rabbit] How do I look?

Myoga: fine, fine. Just try not to make too much noise. `Well minus your big fluffy tail that is.' (Mentally sighs)

Shippo: Thanks Myoga. You can be useful.

Myoga had wished Shippo hadn't said that it only made things worst inside him. As he watched Shippo, the rabbit hop his way to his prey. The other rabbits oddly enough accept this weird looking intruder into the meadow with them.

Shippo: `Yeah I can do this. Wait now what do I do? I don't like grass! Myoga help!'

/Lesson number three: improvise/

Shippo: `well I just make friends with a rabbit then I lure it away from the group then kill it.'

Thus, Shippo starting speaking in rabbit and trying to befriend a rabbit problem was that all the rabbit seem to want to be his friend and they all followed him around the woods.

Shippo: Myoga help!

(Back to Inuyasha)

Inuyasha: (Snickering) He has got to be kidding me. I heard of a wolf in sheep clothing but this is stupid.

Myoga: Lord Inuyasha please. You have got to help him.

Inuyasha: Oh, You're the one who said you were going to help him. So, go help him.

Myoga: But I didn't think…

Inuyasha: who's fault is that?

(Back to Shippo the rabbit)

Shippo: Stop following me!

Shippo wasn't having that much luck the rabbits were surrounding him. He was getting sleepy and he was very hungry.

Though unknowingly to everyone in the woods lurking by was a dark and hungry figure that was watching all the tender, juicy, and mouth-watering rabbits.

(Whom or what is this dark and hungry figure? Is Shippo in trouble? Why won't Shippo just untransformed? Will Inuyasha save him if evil strikes? Find out in the next chapter! In the meanwhile, please review.)
