The jumbo cup of coffee had not been a good idea. He had to pull into one of those roadside gas station/convenience stores for an emergency pit stop.

Kagome didn't have to go, so she decided to peruse the aisles to see if they carried any pocky in her favorite flavors. Sesshoumaru made his way through the store to the back where the restrooms were normally located. Hurrying to take care of his basic bodily function, he moved into the dimly-lit narrow hallway. Glancing at the first door, he saw MEN and pushed the door open.

Once inside the bright tiled room, he looked for the usual bank of urinals, but didn't see them. Instead, a row of stalls greeted his eyes.

Hn.

The emasculation of males was getting out of hand. What kind of a men's room needed this level of privacy? Men now needed to hide behind locked doors to urinate?

The pressure in his bladder wouldn't allow him to think on it further. Choosing the first stall, he moved inside, closed the door and locked it. One hand on the wall, the other guiding the stream, he experienced the sweet feeling of relief that comes when one has finally stopped ignoring the urgent need to pee. Halfway through, he heard the outer door open.

The unmistakable clicking of high-heels assaulted his ears and put his senses on red alert.

There was a female in the men's room!

Sesshoumaru knew a number of women thought him attractive. He found their attentions bothersome and annoying, but rarely did one intrude on his personal space to this level! Unable to stop in mid-stream, he clenched his teeth and glared up at the top of the stall, waiting for her head to pop over for a peep at his package. Instead, he heard the sound of running water. She was washing her hands…

Finished, he quickly tucked, zipped and flushed. Opening the stall door, he readied himself for a confrontation. Shock registered on the woman's face as he stepped out and walked to the sink.

"You are in the wrong room," the demon said flatly as he washed his hands.

Shock fled as righteous indignation took its place.

"You're a little mixed-up!" the woman replied angrily.

Yanking the bathroom door open, she pointed to the symbol on it.

It was a generic figure, wearing a dress... clearly female. The word above it did say MEN, but he could now see the WO had been broken off at some point.

His blood ran cold as the full impact of the ramifications fell into place. Excusing himself, he quickly strode past her and made his way to the front of the building. Thankfully Kagome was in the car and ready to go.

As he got into the driver's seat, he could see the woman inside viciously gesturing toward him and complaining to the manager.

Throwing the car into reverse he backed up, slammed the car into drive, and left the parking lot in a cloud of dust. Kagome glanced over, wondering what had brought this on.

Seeing the tic in his jaw, she wisely decided to not ask.
