Kagome had not eaten her lunch. It came back down to the kitchen in the same manner as her breakfast. Cold and untouched.
"Well she'll have to eat sometime." stated Miroku as he poured everyone a glass of Sake. They all drank and ate, forgetting Kagome. Besides why should they care? She tried to kill them and thy are being kind to her. But yet, she still aimed hate toward them.
Kagome laid in bed. Her stomach hurt, and was rumbling with emptiness and pain. She laid a hand over it and rubbed it, trying to forget the pain. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She could go 3 days without food and water. But she had not practiced in a long time. So she knew it would be hard.
She did a few breathing exercises before opening her eyes. She hummed a song to herself, and then stopped. She was bored, she needed some type of physical activity. She thought about what she could do, then she started to do exercises for her legs Then she did some for her stomach. She lifted her legs and moved them up towards her head.
After several minutes of this, she relaxed. Then she needed to go to the bathroom.
"Great just what I need" she thought. But she could not and would not call for assistance. She thought long and hard and finally began to sit up. She winced a little at the slight twinge of pain.
Now that she was sitting up she managed to rotate her body so she was on the edge of the bed.
She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. Then nodding her head she stood up. She stood glued to the spot for a while, then moved her foot out in front of her. She wobbled but regained her balance. Then she moved her other leg. Soon she made it to the bedroom door.
"What's wrong Inu-Yasha? Asked Sango. He had been looking up at the kitchen ceiling about every five minutes or so.
"I keep hearing something, and I'm not sure if it's just me or not."
"I think it's just you, I mean you know how old this house is right?" said Miroku as he moved over to the sink. He turned on the water rinsed his cup, then shut it off.
"I guess your right." Inu-Yasha sighed. But then the sound of water running through pipes was heard. That noise was only heard when something up stairs was being used. The only person up stairs was Kagome, Because they had given the servants 5 days off.
Quickly the 3 bolted from their spots and ran upstairs. They reached the bathroom, and saw light seeping under the bathroom door. They could hear water running.
Kagome shut off the water, and toweled off her hands. She flicked out the lights and reached out for the door-knob. She was looking down, so what she met when she opened the door were three pairs of feet. She gasped and looked up, to meet 3 angry, upset, and startled faces.
There was silence. No one knew what to say. Kagome turned pink in the face.
"Now I'm going to get it" she thought. She held onto the door knob and backed away an inch or 2.
"Are you ok?" asked Sango. Kagome just nodded her head slowly. Miroku let out an irritated sigh, and balled his hands into fists. He clenched them so hard that his knuckles went white. Miroku's face was now turning a light red.
Inu-Yasha touched his shoulder and shook his head. Miroku took a few deep breathes and un curled his hands. He extended a hand out to Kagome. She looked at it, then up at him.
"let me take you back to your room" he said with anger outlining the words.
She stepped out of the bathroom and took Miroku's hand. Then he stepped behind her placed a hand roughly on her right shoulder and pushed her down the hall and into her room. When they reached her bed Kagome had tears in her eyes. All she did was go use the bathroom, so why was he all upset?
Inu-Yasha and Sango came into the room and watched as Miroku let go of Kagome to pull back the covers on her bed.
"Get in." he commanded at Kagome. But she just stood there. She closed her eyes and willed the tears to go back, to stay in the vault where she had kept them for all those years. But they disobeyed. And they fell down her cheeks. She folded her arms and walked up to the bed. Then stopped, it seemed like a cage to her. But she sat down and the laid back in the pillows.
Miroku had seen the tears and felt bad. Maybe he should not been so ruff with her. But she was so damn irritating. He pulled up the covers then bent low to her face.
"Are you ok?" he asked. Kagome nodded weakly.
"Listen...I'm sorry, ok?" he said. Again Kagome nodded weakly. Miroku sighed, and turned around to leave the room. Inu-Yasha and Sango followed. When they were out in the hallway and the door was shut they began to ask questions.
"What were you sorry about?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"I guess I was a little more rough with her than I thought I was and she was crying." he sighed and shook his head slowly.
"I need more sake." and with that the 3 headed back to the kitchen.
Kagome had turned and was laying on her side, crying. All she did was leave bed to use he bathroom, and then they got mad. What was wrong with everybody? She let out a sob, and buried her face in the purple pillows.
"Inu-Yasha? Would you take dinner up to Kagome?" asked Sango as she came out with a forth tray. Inu-Yasha nodded, and took the tray and his own. And began to leave the kitchen.
"Why are you taking your tray?" she questioned.
"I'm going to make sure she eats" he said over his shoulder. He began to climb the stairs up to Kagome's temporary bedroom. He somehow managed to open the door and enter her room. He walked, and set his tray down on a seat then walked over to Kagome and set her tray down on the night-stand.
Kagome sat up and watched him. was he eating with her? Her answer was questioned when he moved the chair up to her bed, and picked up his tray to sit down. She sat and watched him as he slowly ate his food. Then he stopped and looked at her.
"Eat." he commanded before turning again to his food. She looked over at her food then back at him. He was watching her.
"I'm not leaving until that tray is clean." he said. She looked down at the hills in the blanket that her feet made. Then looked back up, to meet Inu-Yasha's gaze. Then she propped herself up to take the tray. She held the fork and poked some of the items before actually eating anything.
Soon her plate was clear, and was sitting back on the night-stand. Inu-Yasha finished a little before her and sat to make sure she finished. She did and laid back down to go to sleep. He smiled, and took the tray's, stood up and left.
"She ate it?" asked a surprised Miroku. Inu-Yasha smiled and nodded. As he set down the empty tray.
"Well she'll have to eat sometime." stated Miroku as he poured everyone a glass of Sake. They all drank and ate, forgetting Kagome. Besides why should they care? She tried to kill them and thy are being kind to her. But yet, she still aimed hate toward them.
