Kagome shut the book and placed it on the night-stand. She had finished the 3 she had chosen. So she rolled off her bed and picked them up and headed back toward the library. She went back into the room, and opened the concealed door. As she entered the library, she saw Miroku sitting at one of the tables. She ignored him and went to put the books back and choose more.
"Why are you up this late and what are you doing in here Kagome?"
"I can't sleep, and you said I could come back here and choose more when I finished these." she said holding up the books. Miroku nodded his head, and waved his hand, signaling that she could carry on.
Miroku looked down at his watch. It was 1:34 am. He came in here, because he was confused, mad, and non-tired also. He picked up the pen to the left of him, and began drawing little nonsense doodles around the paper's he pulled from the printer.
The pen moved around the paper, it was as if it had it's own life. Miroku was just holding it. His face had a blank expression, and his eyes looked empty. It was as though the pen drained his life, and used it to move around marking things for itself, no longer being commanded.
"Are you ok?"
"Wh..oh yeah...just a little tired."
"Well I have the new books so I'm going to go back."
"G'night Kagome." He did not hear another sound from her, only the shutting door. Now the room was completely silent. He noticed something different about Kagome. He didn't know what though. He could see it, but could not place it. What was it? He thought back. Her wrist!! There was something on it.
He stood up and left the library, to go to his destination of Kagome's room. He opened the door and found Kagome laying under the covers on her side reading. He walked over to her and stretched out his hand.
Kagome saw his hand shoot out and gasped. She rolled back, but not in enough time. Miroku grabbed her wrist, but threw it down and lunged at her again. This time she Managed to roll off the bed and back away. Miroku Jumped up on the bed and jumped at her. She turned to run, but Miroku managed to grab her by her knees, tripping her.
He rolled her over so she was on her back and he straddled her stomach. he grabbed her Right wrist and pulled down the Pajama sleeve, revealing a charm bracelet. He had seen it before. It was in the beat up little box in the bag. The Bag. He got off of her and scrambled across the bed to get her duffel. He opened it and pulled out the box.
Kagome stood up and watched him. Had he snapped? She began to walk to the door. She wanted to go quietly and slowly as so she could probably get away easier than if she ran. She was not 10 feet from the door when the box hit it. She gasped and turned to see Miroku charging at her. She quickened her pace and threw open the door. And began to run down the hallway, with Miroku at her heals.
He lunged and tripped her, then straddled her waist again. Then He shoved the bag, with the note in her face. Sango and Inu-Yasha cam out and watched the scenes unfold.
"I knew you were up to something!"
"What are you....mmmpphhh.....talking about?" asked Kagome as she tried to breath. It was not easy with Miroku sitting on her.
"This! It says put these three charms on after you made the kill. We were your three victims.!"
"Mmmppphhh...What's....your point?"
"The bag is torn open and there are 3 more charms on your bracelet from when I counted last time!!" He grabbed her wrist again and held it up. Kagome tried to pull her wrist back, but his grip was strong. And Inu-Yasha decided he had had enough.
"Get off her!" he yelled as he grabbed Miroku by the back of the shirt and threw him against the wall. Miroku was still holding onto Kagome's wrist and bracelet when he was flung back. So Kagome was sat up and the bracelet was snapped off her wrist. It landed in the hallway, broken.
Kagome's expression went blank for a moment. Then she looked up at Miroku.
"Do you want to know why I put those on?" she asked, in a scary voice. "Because all of you were nice to me, So I put them on, so that when I went back to headquarters, my master would see the 3 extra charms and figure you 3 were dead, when you would all be here living safely." she lied. And with that she stood up and left back to her room.
"She's Lying!:" shouted Miroku
"Now what are you accusing her of Miroku?" asked an Upset Sango.
"It's obvious enough. If you would just take of the beer vision goggles to see you..."
"Just tell us!" shouted Inu-Yasha, cutting Miroku off.
"The headquarters! They would read the news, and see it on T.V. and they wouldn't see anything about our 'deaths' and they would know she is lying then send someone else out here!"
They all stayed in their positions in the hallway thinking about it. Inu-Yasha sighed and picked up the bracelet.
"I'll take Kagome out tomorrow, to get this fixed, lunch and hopefully answers." he said, then he walked back to his room. Sango walked over to Miroku and helped him up.
"I know you have suspicions but, can't you give her a chance? With out suspecting everything she says and does? Please?"
"Yeah, I can. And I'm sorry. It's just, well I don't know."
"It's ok dear." she said as she kissed him. "lets go to bed. It's to early to be up" and with that Miroku followed her back to their room.
"Why are you up this late and what are you doing in here Kagome?"
"I can't sleep, and you said I could come back here and choose more when I finished these." she said holding up the books. Miroku nodded his head, and waved his hand, signaling that she could carry on.
