Chapter 277: Moil
v. to work hard; drudge.
Disclaimer: I do not own that which belongs to another.
The next morning Kagome awoke to an empty room, three notes left on the low table near the door, and three futons stacked in the far corner of the room.
Temari had woken up before sunrise so that she could use the silence of dawn to practice a new technique.
Kankuro had to pick up a vital piece for his puppets and then after that he was going to meet up with Temari to test his puppets against her new technique.
Baki was needed with the Village Counselors. Kagome scoffed, apparently the Company of Ninja that they had had escort them was not enough.
She stretched her sore muscles, she hadn't traveled in such a long time that she forgot how good it felt to have a nice futon and indoor plumbing after days of sleeping on the side of the road. With a yawn Kagome found her way to the small bathroom the siblings shared to freshen up and change into the floral blue dress that she had taken from her luggage the other night. Kagome applauded her foresight.
She brushed her hair, washed her face, and brushed her teeth before exiting the room ready to face the day.
