The shower water beat down upon Kagome's stilled body, she'd been leaning against the wall for ten minutes now. Her thoughts kept her eyes closed in irritation. Stupid Inu-Yasha. She slammed her fist against the tiles. Stupid mutt.

"SIT BOY!" shouted Kagome, sitting beside Sango and Miroku, and holding Shippo in her arms.

"OOWW!" shouted Inu-Yasha, immediately standing up, and stomping past her to hop back into the tree.

"You think you would be a little more grateful for all I have done for you!"

He huffed and looked into the mid-morning sky. Birds flew by and chirped with natural glee. The wind rustled the trees and the bushes moved in serenade. The silence lulled Shippo into a tacit sleep.

Kagome shoved food into her mouth and glared at the demon. For all I have done for you, she thought, again. Knowing he was thinking her words over and over in his mind. She had given him something, a painful something that she did not wish to talk about.

"For all that I have done for you," she whispered against the water, turning the liquid off, and stepping out of the shower. She dressed and quickly went to bed. "Stupid Inu-Yasha."
