Chapter 4
I am surprised that for a few seconds I forget about being Kikyo. Without thinking, I let fear flicker across my face.
"Kikyo?" He asks in confusion, "Why are you scared?"
When I don't answer he continues.
"I don't care what everyone says, you're acting really strange."
"I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you; I'll try to do better in the future." I answer sarcastically.
He looks at me for a while and then sighs.
"Whatever. Just be more careful with the packages, ok?"
I nod, perhaps a little too quickly.
"You're not having any trouble getting them, are you?"
I decide asking exactly where 'I' get these packages and what is in them would only make him more suspicious.
"No, everything's fine. I need to go help with dinner."
He just stands there, looking somewhat suspicious. I open the door and walk into the hallway, feeling very relieved.
I run upstairs and put the big envelope onto one of the beds and then walk downstairs to the kitchen.
Sango is already cutting up vegetables when I get there. She looks up as I come through the door way.
"What took you so long?"
"I was accosted by Inuyasha on the way up. He wanted to talk to me."
She seems to accept this as a valid answer and doesn't press the matter. She directs me to the stove and tells me to stir the bubbling pot.
*Later at Dinner*
Everyone except Sesshomaru is sitting around a large wooden table in the dinning room. Steaming food is piled in large bowls, but no one reaches to take anything. I carefully look around, trying not to appear confused.
Finally, Sesshomaru comes into the room and sits down. This seems to be the signal to start. Everyone starts piling food onto their plates. Miroku, Kouga, Shippo, and Inuyasha do it frantically, while the rest of use wait our turns.
Silence descends as every one eats. No one makes conversation and it seems that there is no need to.
When all the food has disappeared, Miroku and Kouga get up and start clearing off the table. They take the dishes away to the kitchen and stay there. I assume that chores are done on a schedule.
Distracted by this I think of what I need to do: 1)figure out the schedule so I don't appear too suspicious. 2)Figure out what are in the packages and where they come from. 3)Get more details on the planned break in. And 4) subtlety try and find out about any one being killed or any drug trafficking.
It seems like a lot to do.

AH! I'm sorry about not updating in forever. I'll try my best to do it much more often. Also sorry about the shortness of this chapter. This is all I have time for because of the upcoming finals.
thanks to: Thesmartazngirl, Jacie, deo's destiny of death, Sesshyangel, Jazz-chan, sesshoumaru77, Neovincent (sorry for taking so long! ^_^), and Inuyasha-demonbride99...for reviewing.
