I dedicate this fully to my best friend/co-author Shini-chan who, while being annoyed by my desire to play with the Inuyasha universe, but not having any ideas, suggested Sesshoumaru taking a shower (three guesses whether or not she thinks he's hot =^_~=). And because we are random and stupid, this is the result. =^_^=
Oh, and by the way, Sesshoumaru and all other Inuyasha things belong to Takahashi Rumiko-sama. Though the random goofy-ness is totally ours.
Water
A Sesshoumaru Fic-let for Shini-chan
LH-chan '04
Water ran from Sesshoumaru's hair in rivulets, pooling on the rock where he lay drying after a long shower in the waterfall behind him.
He was alone; Rin had taken Jaken away to pick flowers.
It was a comfortable sort of alone, the kind he had not experienced in a long time. He stretched out, enjoying the warm sun on his bare skin.
Still soaking, his hair squelched uncomfortably beneath him.
He sat up, something close to an irritated expression on his nearly changeless face.
Slowly, he cast around, surveying the surrounding area with all his senses.
He knew he was alone. Still, he glanced about warily: Suspicious? Nervous? An unusual show of emotion for the demon.
He moved slowly, crouching, water running off his shoulders and pooling around his hand. He gave another quick glance, to make sure he was truly alone.
Then, in a swift motion that sent water cascading in all directions, he dropped his head, planted his feet, and shook out like a dog.
There he stayed for a moment, hair fluffed out around him like a halo; then he sat back on the rock, face fixed once again in its usual neutral expression, as though nothing had ever happened.
Owari.
