Kagome sat In her be, looking through the box of gifts she had received. She looked through the cards and read all the comments. She sighed. They called her 'great' and 'number 1'...

"If only they could see you now" she whispered to her self. Crying every 20 minutes acting a little clueless. But at least it was working right?

A few more weeks of acting like this, and soon Miroku, Inu-Yasha, and Sango, would trust her. Then Kagome could strike. Sure, she had to reveal some of her dark secrets from her past, but what ever helped. She carefully placed the cards back in the box, then pulled out the charm bracelet.

She unwrapped the bag and began to hook the 3 charms on.

"Well they're already as good as dead..."

Inu-Yasha was laying in his bed. He was so confused. First the girl tries to kill them, then they bring her in, and take care of her. And Miroku keeps getting pissed at Kagome, then apologizing to her. He rubbed his head as he tried to sort the thoughts out.

Yes, he was still upset at almost being killed, and not knowing why, but yet, at the same time he felt bad for the girl. He closed his eyes and let out a low growl.

"And we thought women were confusing."

Sango opened Kagome's door and walked in.

"Kagome? I'm need to check on your wound."

"Oh..ok." she said as she set down her book. She unbuttoned her shirt and slid it down her arm.

Sango undid the wrappings, and peeled it back.

"It's almost healed. I would give it a few more day's and no more bandages, lets give it some air."

"Ok! Sango..umm, could I get a shower? I felt as if it's been ages."

"Oh, of course. Come on I help you find everything." Sango grabbed Kagome's hand and they headed down the hall to the bathroom, Kagome got in trouble for using a few nights before. When they were inside Sango began to explain everything.

"Ok, here is the shampoos and conditioners, and soap and luffa are here." she said pointing to racks and bottles in the shower.

"Under the sink are towels and wash-clothes. And when your done, there are these guests robe's you can use." she finished, and with that she left.

Kagome locked the door, and headed over to the shower. She began to run the water until she got the desired temperature, then pulled the stick, so it engaged the shower. She took off her clothes and stepped in.

The water felt wonderful. She raised her hands up as if catching the water, and let it flow over her. Then she turned and grabbed a bottle of Herbal Essence and poured it over her head. She washed her hair and rinsed then repeated with the conditioner. Oh, it felt so good to have clean hair, and a clean body she thought as she rinsed the soap suds off her body.

Then she just let the water run for a few more minutes before actually shutting it off. She stepped out of the shower and quickly grabbed a robe and wrapped it around herself. After she tied the sash she opened the cupboard and pulled out a towel, to towel dry her hair.

Then she wrapped the towel around her hair to keep it up before stepping out into the hallway. Where she ran into Miroku.

"Did you enjoy your shower?"

"Yes"

"Who told you, you could go in there?"

"I asked Sango, and she said it would be ok."

"Oh..ok." and with that he walked off.

' Just remember Kagome.' she told herself 'not all men are annoying, most are dead'

Inu-Yasha heard the yelling voices grow louder as he neared Miroku and Sango's room. He silently walked up and opened the door a crack.

"It was just a shower, Miroku, Why are you against that."

"I'm not! I would just like to be informed next time, sO I know where she is and when."

"Why?!?"

"One week ago she tried to kill us, and I'm upset. And for all we know she could be planning something, and we'll all end up dead!"

Inu-Yasha could hear Sango yell something but could not make it out because he closed the door.

Then deciding he had nothing better to do, he went to go se what Kagome was up to. He peered inside her room in the same fashion he did with Miroku and Sango. He found her lying on her belly on the bed reading a book.

He closed the door and thought.

' Miroku, what are you smoking?"

Now Inu-Yasha was more confused than ever. He scratched his ear, and tried to put all the pieces together, but found none of tem to work. It was like a giant Jigsaw puzzle that was missing all the important pieces.
