Bath Time with Sesshomaru

A/N: Just a small little fic about a tiny Sesshomaru. This idea actually came from my best friend who loved bath time when she was a toddler, and she and her aunt played this game every time bath-time came around. I thought it'd be very cute if little Sesshomaru did the same ^^

If you asked any of the many vassals in InuTaisho's castle if they had any complaints about any member of Lord's family, many of them would come back with some complaint of the Lord's only son: Sesshomaru. The boy was spoiled, self-center, bossed his elders around, and was nothing but a down-right trouble maker. But even so, you could see the light smiles flitting on the corners of their lips as they thought about the young Inu-pup.

The one thing everyone in the castle looked forwards to was the day Sesshomaru had his baths. It wasn't that the child was dirty or stank it was just the sheer joy Sesshomaru got out of this simple activity.

At this time, Sesshomaru was about the equivalent of a two year old human child. At times, some of the maids would actually have fights and arguments over who bathed Prince Sesshomaru; he was just too adorable in their eyes.

InuTaisho smiled as he gently knocked at the bedroom door, and entered. Immediately he spotted his son sitting on the floor surrounded by his toys (oddly, most of them were stuff animals of some sort).
"Dada!!!" Little Sesshomaru barked, jumping to his feet and rushing as best as he could to his father, wrapping his small arms around the Demon Lords leg.

"Hello my Sesshomaru," InuTaisho smiled, gently patting his son's head, "What are you doing?"
"Plays wiff my aniamalz." Sesshomaru stated, letting go of his father and sitting back down in the middle of his circle. Immediately his hands closed over a stuffed dog, his Inu-Doll, as Sesshomaru called it. The pup had, had that thing ever since he came into this world, and even after all these years, InuTaisho couldn't get his son to let it go.

He knelt down, his nose prickling as the scents of his many servants lined the halls. He held in his chuckle.
"Sesshomaru?" InuTaisho said, and waited for his sons answer, but Sesshomaru, under the clear idea his father would just speak his mind, didn't.

Suddenly InuTaisho got an idea. Folding his legs under him, he placed his hands on his knees and leaned forwards, staring intently at his son.
Sesshomaru looked up, his big golden eyes blinking at him, "…Dada?"
"Sesshomaru… What time is it?" InuTaisho whispered as softly as he could. Sesshomaru's head tilted to the side.
Just as softly as his father asked him, he answered back, "…Food time?" he asked, since that was the only thing his Dada came to get him for.
InuTaisho shook his head, saying just as softly, "No Sesshomaru, what time is it?"
Sesshomaru's nose scrunched up as he thought. Then suddenly, his golden eyes widened and a sparkle appeared and he gave a very quiet gasp.
"…bath time?" the pup said very quietly almost too quiet for the Inu-Lord to hear.
InuTaisho nodded smiling lightly, "Yes Sesshomaru, bath-time."
The pups mouth fell open, "Bath time?" he said, a little louder this time, before he suddenly jumped to his small feet, dropping his Inu-doll and rushed for the door, "BATH TIME!!"

InuTaisho roared with laughter, as did most of the servants in the hall as the little pup ran past them, yell 'Bath Time' at the top of his lungs. InuTaisho followed after his son, picking up the pieces of his sons clothing as he went.

Yes, Sesshomaru defiantly loved bath time.
