"Get in there!"
"No way! You think I'm stupid or something?"
"Just get in there!"
Inuyasha stood, indignant, in the bathroom. Kagome had brought him to the future to collect a jewel shard. Afterwards, he was drenched in demon blood and she dragged him home to wash up. So now, he stood in her bathroom, trying to state that he didn't need a bath.
"Alright, fine! Turn around!"
He did so, and she pulled off his kimono top.
"Now get in that shower, or I'll pull the rest off, too!"
He gawked and leapt in.
"Ok, now take off the rest of your clothes and turn on the water," Kagome instructed, now from out in the hall.
Inuyasha did so and threw the clothes onto the floor outside the tub as he pulled on the lever near the floor.
"Ow! This water's hot!"
"Well of course it is! You didn't think you could stand it if it was freezing, did you?"
"The river water's cold!"
Kagome ignored this. "Ok, is your hair wet yet?"
"What do you think?! Stupid girl…"
"Take the bottle of green shampoo…oh sorry, that gooey green stuff, and squirt some into your hair. Then rub it all around until it turns into bubbles."
She waited a few minutes before getting a reply.
"Now what? I'm not coming out looking like this!"
"You don't have to. Wash it all out with the water."
He stood under the showerhead and squeezed it all out.
"Ok, there's none left. Can I come out now?"
"No! Now take the red container and put some of that in your hair."
"I just did that with the green gunk!"
"The red stuff is conditioner. Now do it or I'll come in and do it for you!"
Inuyasha balked. "Alright, fine!" He did it.
"Just slick it in, wait a few seconds, then wash it out. Don't bother making it into bubbles."
"Fine. Am I done?"
"No. Grab the white chunk and rub it all over. It's soap."
"I know what it is!"
"So use it! I thought dogs liked taking baths!"
While he was busy, Kagome sneaked in and took his clothes out, leaving a large towel.
Two minutes later, Inuyasha yelled for her. "Hey, I'm done. Anything else?"
"No, you can come out now. Use the towel."
He came out and dried off. Then he noticed the missing clothes.
"Uh…Ka-Kagome, where're my clothes?"
"Oh, they're in the wash. Just wrap the towel around you and you can dry off in the sunroom."
He drew the line. "Kagome, there is no way in hell I am going to walk half dressed through your house to get to the sunroom!"

"I can't believe I walked half dressed through your house to get to the sunroom," Inuyasha commented indignantly while he sat, cross-legged, on the floor with the towel on.
"Oh, stop complaining and have some tea." She grinned.
"The minute those things come out of the wash, I'm going home, and you can't stop me."
"Oh, Inuyasha, don't you feel a hundred times better now that you've had a good deep-cleaning?" Kagome smiled at him, bending over her chair.
He grunted and looked away. "Puh."
