Morning Came, And Kagome was brushing her hair, anxiously awaiting Miroku to come to show her the Library. She set down the brush to examine her face. Her eyes were a light pink from all the crying, and oh, was she a mess. She ran a hand through her hair, it was smooth, but it needed to be washed.
She sighed, as she picked up the brush again.
Miroku was confused and frustrated. What kind of games was Kagome playing? He knew she was up to something, and with god as his witness he would find out. He quickened his pace down the hallway, and reached Kagome's room.
He opened the door, and saw Kagome brushing her hair.
"Kagome? Are you ready to go?" he asked. She turned quickly and set the brush down.
"Yeah, I'm ready."
"Then come on." he said. Kagome stood up quickly and walked with him. They walked down the long hallway, turned a corner and went down another passage. Miroku stopped, and opened a door to their left. They stepped inside. Kagome was confused. This was not a library, It didn't even have books.
It had 3 couches and 2 large cushioned chairs. And all the walls had beautiful paintings. The ceiling had a large glass pane, so the outside world could look in. Then there were torches on metal stands around the room. Kagome stood and stared, Until Miroku's voice snapped her out of it.
"Come on Kagome."
"Wh..OH! Sorry." She walked across the room. There Miroku opened a door. The door was painted over so it fit in with the walls, but it had a doorknob. Kagome cocked an eyebrow, It was clever.
The new room they stepped inside of, had shelves full of books. The shelves all lined the walls then had a few standing in the middle. Then there were some tables and chairs off to the side.
"You can choose some books then take them back to your room, then when you finish them, bring them back, and choose a few more."
"Wow.....so I can choose any book?"
"Any book." so Kagome walked off through the shelves and began to look. She found books that were fiction and non-fiction, Biographies and history. There were Sci-fi books and horror. There were so many. So Kagome just walked down the aisle and looked through all the books. When she found one, she would like to read, she took it.
Miroku stood back and watched her. She looked at the books, or studied them. She looked like a child, who just learned to read and was choosing books to read. He smiled, then frowned, He needed to find out what games she was playing.
He walked over to her, she reached up and took a book from the top shelf to look at. She had her head down and was looking at it when he reached her.
"I guess you want to know why I told you about my duffel bags and the tools, ne?" she asked her head still down.
"Yes, why did you tell me?"
"I don't know, really I don't." she said as she looked up at him.
"Ok, then what game are you playing?"
"What game?"
" I know your up to something Kagome and don't lie." Miroku said as he advanced on her. Kagome began to back up until she was up against a shelf. Miroku placed one hand on either side of her.
"Tell me Kagome, what are you up to."
"Nothing! I don't know what your talking about."
Miroku slammed his hand on the shelf.
"Stop Lying Kagome!"
"I'm not!" this time she was able to hold the tears back. She threw down the books and broke out of Miroku's cage. She ran out of the room, out the next and into the hallway. She walked down the hall, fuming with anger.
"What's wrong Kagome?" asked a voice. She looked up to see Inu-Yasha. He reached a hand out and wiped away a single tear that had managed to escape.
"Are you ok? What's wrong?" So Kagome told him the hold story.
"Ok, go back to your room, and I'll straighten things out."
"Ok....thank-you."
Inu-Yasha walked into the library and found Miroku, with his back toward him, leaning against the shelf. He walked up to the figure and started to yell.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Me?"
"No the books, of course you!"
"It's Kagome!"
"What's wrong with her?"
"I know she's up to something."
"If she is it's probably Suicide for the way you been treating her Miroku!" and with that Inu-Yasha walked off. Miroku let out a irritated sigh, picked up the books and left. He was walking back down the hallway to Kagome's room.
He knocked on the door and waited for her to answer it. She did a few moments later.
"I brought you your books."
"Thank-you." she said as she took them.
"And I want to apologize for the way I've been acting toward you."
"It's ok...I probably would have been the same way." she smirked and Miroku smiled back. Then he turned and left.
She sighed, as she picked up the brush again.
