Ch 9 – Showers
Kagome woke up when the sun shined through the blinds. She looked at Sango still sound asleep in her bed. She tip toed over to the bathroom and shut the door. She looked into the mirror. It'd been so long since she'd showered. This inn didn't have showers in the rooms, just a toilet and sink, you had to go to the community shower to bathe. She grabbed a pony tail holder off her wrist that Sango gave her last night and pulled her hair up into a pony tail. She looked at herself again, she was becoming a new person. There was a knock on the door, "Kagome?" Sango asked "I was thinking about going to take a shower, do you want to come with me?"
Kagome smiled at her reflection and then opened the door "yes"
Sango smiled and handed her a towel "Let's go!"
They walked to the showers and they got into the ones next to each other, Sango began to sing in the shower. And Kagome smiled, hoping one day she would be happy and carefree enough to sing in the shower. The door opened and Sango stopped, Kagome froze nervous. "Who's there?" Sango called.
No answer.
"Hello?" Sango asked again. Kagome saw her feet under the shower wall divider, Sango reached down into her shower basket and pulled out a knife. She kept the shower running, wrapped her towel around herself and stepped out.
"Aahhhhhh" She yelled
"Sango! What the hell?!" Miroku shouted
"What are you doing in here?!" She yelled. Kagome heard a smack and Miroku yell ouch again.
"What am I doing here? It's the community shower!" He said rubbing his cheek.
The door opened and Inuyasha stepped in "Told you ya shouldn't try to sneak in on them"
When Kagome heard Inuyasha's voice she suddenly felt a lot more naked. She covered her chest even though she was still behind the door.
"Get out!" Sango said
"Why do you have a knife in the shower anyway?! That's not safe!" Miroku said backing up
"Gee, I don't know, I thought it would be good protection!" She said sarcastically
"Come on Miroku" Inuyasha said grabbing the back of his shirt. "Sango will you let us know when y'all are done? We want to shower before check out"
Sango nodded and stepped back into the shower when the boys were gone "I swear, boys will be boys doesn't even cover it" She said joking. The girls stepped out of the shower and dried off. They walked out of the bathroom and started walking back to their room. Kagome got a bad feeling. Just then she saw a familiar car pull in.
"Sango" She whispered getting close behind her. "That's his car I think"
"What?" Sango looked over and narrowed her eyes, "Let's go" Sango walked faster with Kagome behind her they went into the boys room because it was closer. Sango locked the door and peaked through the blinds.
"What's up?" Inuyasha asked picking up on Sango's defensive behavior.
"Naraku is here." Sango said calmly looking out the blind watching the office waiting for him to come out.
"What?! How did he find us?!" Inuyasha said going up to the window
"I don't think he has, I think he's just passing through." Sango said, she watched Naraku come out of the office with a key and walk to the other side of the inn "His room's on the other side, we need to leave. Kagome stay here, I'm going to go get our bags."
"Sango," Miroku started standing up
"No, Miroku he doesn't know me, if he sees me he will just think that I'm a guest…" Sango said grabbing her room key "I'll be right back" She left the room and went into hers. She quickly threw everything in the room she could find that was theirs and stepped out. She looked around and didn't find him she walked back into the boys room "No sign of him, let's move. Kagome get dressed." Sango tossed her the first clothes she grabbed out of the suitcase and pulled out another set for herself. She looked at the boys and they sighed and turned around. Sango was in denim shorts and a tank top with a flowing over shirt. She then reached into her other suitcase and pulled out a gun holster and a gun. She loaded the gun and placed it in the holster in her hip. Kagome was in jeans and a button up, short sleeve shirt. Sango looked at her "You don't know how to shoot do you?" Kagome shook her head. Sango rummaged quickly and pulled out a switch blade, "Be careful with this." She handed it to her and Kagome put it in her pocket. She looked at the boys "How good of a shot are y'all?" Miroku and Inuyasha looked at each other then back to her and shrugged. Sango rolled her eyes and gave Miroku a switch blade like Kagome's and gave Inuyasha a buck knife. "Don't make me regret giving you these. I'm driving to our next location." She went behind Kagome and braided her hair and gave her some sunglasses and tossed Miroku and Inuyasha some hats. "That'll have to do for disguises for now" She looked around. Everything was packed, everyone had a weapon and they were as best disguised as possible. "Ready?" She asked. They nodded and they went out to the car, Sango took the keys and returned them to the hotel and got in the cars drivers side.
"So are you like a professional serial killer?" Miroku asked looking at her hand gun
"Nope, just really good at defense." Sango said smirking "Now, we are going to be driving a while, we are going to a shooting range and you three are going to learn to use a gun."
The car sped off into the distance.
