"Mother, may I be excused?" a soft voice pleaded, her eyes shining with joy at the time.

"Of course dear. You going to take a bath?" the older woman asked, her eyes shining as well.

"Yes, I love baths, they are just so soothing!" the young girl relied, jumping up from her seat and sprinting up the stairs. She didn't make a sound as she bounded in to her room and out, heading towards the bathroom.

'Finally, my time to escape!' she thought, and opened the door to the bathroom to prepare for it.

"Milord, the springs are clean and ready," a small toad youkai said, bowing to his lord who in turn stood from the remainder of his evening meal.

The lord set forth towards the springs, his long hair swaying from side to side as he walked.

As he slid open the shoji, a gust of steam hit him the face, and he slowly began to relax.

'Ah, the one time I find that I can let my guard down,' he thought, 'even if only for a short while.'

He quickly shed his clothing and sunk into the warm waters. However, his relaxation would soon end.

As the young woman watched, the bath quickly became full and she turned the small knob to stop the flow from coming. Nearly ripping the cloths from her body, she eased herself into the hot water and instantly relaxed.

As she became accustomed to the temperature, she leaned forward and ducked her head under the water.

He was relaxed now, fully accustomed to the heat of the springs, and decided to wet his hair. So, he stood, and dove into the water.

Coming back up, he sat to the side to relax again, but not for very long.

As she dunked herself, a light began to shine and surround her body, pulling her under. She began to panic at this, but more so when she saw what looked to be…

The Lord lay with is back against the rocks, feeling the warmth bleed into his skin, just as the water around him began to shift.

"What in the hells?" he exclaimed, his mask slipping for a second to show surprise upon his face.

The woman looked up and saw the one thing she never would have thought.

'Oh my god, is that a guy!' was all she could think of before she kicked her feet instinctively and swam towards the surface.

He looked on as what looked to be a woman swam up and broke the surface while sputtering.

She looked around frantically and he could tell she was in a bit of a fright. He grabbed her arm roughly and drug her over to the edge of a large rock and allowed her to take a good breath.

She instantly grabbed on and sputtered some more, trying to catch her breath as best she could.

As the lord looked at her, he noticed that the only parts of her showing were her arms and legs. Her exceedingly long tresses of hair covered the rest. It covered her up almost completely, and hid her face from him as well. (It's about as long as how you would Inu's Mother)

She finally seemed to catch her breath, and moved to turn around and rest her back against the rock. He watched as she pulled some of the hair from her face, allowing him view of it. Her face was pale with a light pink to her cheeks, her eyes looked tired but with a hidden energy. Her hair was a pale blue/ green color that made her eyes stand out. They were most definitely her dominant feature, being completely black with a thin red ring around the black pupils.

His eyes then slid down to her blood red lips, black on the lines around them, and further down, now noticing that her hair just barely covered her breast that were submerged in the water. He could also see that she was quite thin, even compared to himself.

He quickly slid his eyes back to her face and noticed that a particular strand of hair was bothering her, and she couldn't seem to remove it. Before she could pluck it from her face, she felt a warm hand remove it for her.

It stunned her, and she whipped her head around to see whom it was that had eluded her attention.

Her eyes fell on the man that she barely recognized as the one who pulled her to safety at the edge of warm water that she now stood in. They sat there, just looking at each other, and that's when she noticed…

The next he knew, a mini tidal wave came at him, and soaked his already wet hair.

Once he had removed hair from his own face, he looked back at the woman who had splashed him, and noticed that she had just realized what state she had introduced herself in. He also took in the fact that she had submerged herself to just below her nose and was shyly looking up at him; while covering herself as best she could.

He couldn't help but feel a little guilty for ruining her only chance of a modest first impression. However, he also couldn't help but inwardly smirk as a blush crept upon her face, getting a little darker with each passing moment.

As he continued to stare at her, her thoughts wondered.

'Oh… my…God! What am I doing here! Who is this guy!…My god… I'm in hot water… I'm with a guy… And I'm completely nude! …OMG…can this day get any weirder? … Wait! Don't say that … or else it will happen…' but it was too late. She had just jinxed herself, and there was no way to get the cat back in the bag.

Just as she had feared, her worst nightmare was only continuing. She couldn't help but keep staring at him, until realization hit her upside the head. He had just stood up, allowing her a full view of everything!

She averted her eyes as quickly as possible, her face so red that it reminded him of a tomato. When she turned from him, he in turn stepped out of the springs and walked over to a small shelf, grabbing a clean undergarment and put it on. He also put on a black hakama, then turned back to the woman in his company. He noticed that her head was still downcast. He growled.

Her head shot up and she turned to look at him, her face paling at the sound of his growl. She was about to shy away again, when she noticed that he was holding something. She grinned sheepishly when she recognized it as a yukata. The woman stood from the water and stepped out as well when he held it out to her. As she walked towards him, covering herself as best she could, he seemed to lighten a bit, almost glad that she wasn't as afraid of him as she was before.

When she only a foot away from him, she raised her black eyes in appreciation as she reached for it. However, he held it out of her reach and leaned towards her, his mouth next to her ear.

His breath tickled her skin, and made her belly pool with heat, as her eyes glazed, then widen at his words.

"You will only receive this if you partake in my home; otherwise… you're on your own…"

So, What do y'al think? I have a good idea as to where this will go, but if you'd like to give me some input, I'll thankfully take your ideas into this weird mind of mine. Anywho, I'll wait till y'al give me at least five reviews, no matter if there's only one person sending them or more, and then I'll put another chappie up! JA!
