Kagome awoke in the morning with a large head ache and three faces staring down at her. It startled her for a second, but she settled down. She closed her eyes as pain came, she lifted a hand to her head and ran her fingers over where it hurt.
"Wh...what happened?" she asked, as she opened her eyes to look into the faces of Miroku, Inu-Yasha, and Sango. She studied their faces. They were Marked with anger, sadness, and frustration. What was going on?
"You fell down the stairs, and were knocked unconscious for 2 days. What the hell were you doing out of bed?" said Miroku as his voice grew louder. Kagome closed her eyes and thought back.
"I...I cleaned up the mess I made, and was trying to find a garbage can, but there wasn't one up here, so I was going downstairs. I got distracted, and then I heard my name. That's all I remember." she said.
"well let me tell you." said Miroku "you turned and tripped, you would have rolled to the bottom of the stairs if Inu-Yasha had not ran up to stop you from rolling. Then you slept for two days, and during that time we decided what we were going to do"
"What do you mean?"
"Kagome. You need to stay in this room, and if you can't do that yourself we will assign people to stay in here and watch you. Do I make myself clear?" yelled Miroku. Kagome didn't answer. She just started to cry.
"Now what's wrong?" asked Sango in a frustrated voice.
"I hate being yelled at. All my life I had an abusive Father. I watched him beat my Mom till she was dead, then I watched as he killed himself. All my life I was yelled at. That's why I became an assassin, there I was never yelled at." Kagome screamed at them.
"And I hate being locked up. I never had friends Because my da would lock me in my room so he would not hurt me. I hate it, I don't want to be locked up again, or yelled at....I just want those memories to go away." she continued as her voice died down. She sat sobbing as the others sat and stared at her in shock.
Tears came to there eyes as Kagome revealed her past. It must have been a rough life for her. They turned there eyes so they would not have to look at her. Kagome, turned onto her side and buried her face into the soft pillow.
"please....please...don't make me relive those horrible days....please." whispered Kagome as her tears receded. Inu-Yasha looked up at this small plea. Her voice didn't sound like a woman's, but a small child's. It was a frightened voice, a sad voice.
Soon, Kagome fell asleep, so the three quietly walked out into the hallway, where they all stood and stared at each other, each having a face with guilt, and sadness etched into it. They stood silent for several seconds before anyone actually spoke.
"I feel bad." said Sango in a voice so quite you could bearly here it. All the others could do was nod in agreement, then they each departed.
Kagome's sleep was filled with Monster's. It wasn't a dream, it was a nightmare. She tossed and turned.
"Wake up!" she yelled at herself, but her body, spirit and mind, disobeyed her. Tears ran down her cheeks as she laid in bed, watching the nightmare behind her closed eyes. But then it finally ended.
She rolled over onto her back and took several deep breathes.
"Kagome?" asked Sango as she entered her room. Kagome sat up and watched as Sango stood in the doorway.
"Dinner is ready, would you like to join us?" she asked.
"Is it ok?" Sango nodded her head yes, so Kagome got out of bed and pulled on a robe. Then she And Sango walked down to the Dining room. When they entered the men had there heads bowed, but looked up when Sango cleared her throat.
"Come on." Urged Sango as she pulled Kagome with her. They Sat in the two seats that were across the table from Inu-Yasha and Miroku. After they were seated the Servants came in with their food and set it down in front of them. They were about to start eating the food when a man came in holding 2 duffel bags.
"Excuse me sir. But I found these outside." he said as he held them up. Kagome looked up and gasped.
"My bags!"
"Wait? Your bags?" asked a confused Miroku.
"Yes my bags."
"Very well then. Um, take them up to my bedroom, then I shall return them to Kagome." said Miroku. The servant bowed and walked off.
"Why can't he just take them up to my room?" asked Kagome, who badly wanted her possessions
"I want to search through them, and take out all weapons."
"I'll save you the time. All my tools and weapons are in the blood-red bag." she stated calmly. Miroku was shocked. Why had she just told him that? He bet it was a trick. He would just check to make sure.
"Damnit." said Miroku as he zipped up the bag.
"What's wrong Miroku?"
"She was telling the truth Sango. I thought she was tricking us, but like she said all her tools were in the red bag." Sango nodded her head, and turned back to brushing her hair. Miroku picked up the black duffel and walked out of the room, down to Kagome's.
"Come in!" called Kagome. She had heard a knocking, so she quickly called it out, as she turned on the lamp on the table. Miroku entered and set the duffel on the bed.
"I was returning the bag as promised."
"Thank-you." she said as she grabbed it. Miroku turned around to leave, but stopped when Kagome began to speak.
"Miroku, you don't happen to have any books around, do you?" asked Kagome. "I would like to read something."
"In the morning I shall show you where the Library is." and with that he left the room.
"Wh...what happened?" she asked, as she opened her eyes to look into the faces of Miroku, Inu-Yasha, and Sango. She studied their faces. They were Marked with anger, sadness, and frustration. What was going on?
