Inuyasha came barreling through the brush and leapt into the stream causing the girls to scream and Shippo to laugh hysterically. He started ripping his clothes off as fast as he could and throwing water over his skin. Kagome and Sango ducked down into the water to hide themselves.

"Get out of here, Inuyasha! We're still…" Kagome stopped midsentence when she got a good look at Inuyasha's skin. He was red everywhere the material of his clothes had touched him and while trying to rub water all over himself he was scratching welts into his skin. Forgetting her state of undress Kagome rushed over to him with soap and a washcloth and started scrubbing his skin. She handed him the bar of soap for his front while she washed his back.

A furious Inuyasha turned his glare toward the kit.

"You…"

Shippo gulped and ran naked into the forest.
