The Bath House

"Yes…Yes…" Inuyasha was talking on the phone with repair man in the living room dressed in his red t-shirt and black jeans. He wasn't able to sit down because of some punishment from his less than kind older brother. "No it was crushed this time…I'm not sure sir…How the hell should I know? Right…uh-huh…When…Monday?…Aww gees. How much? Yea I'm not paying my brother is…Yes that's Sesshomaru S-e-s-s-h-o-Ow! What the fuck did you hit me for?"

Sesshomaru walked in dressed in his cashmere jet black sweater and pale grey slacks. "I said that you were paying for it out of your monthly allowance this time. I think I'll stand here to make sure you DO the paying and not use my Gold Master card like before." He folded his arms and waited.

"Damn asshole," Inuyasha murmured accidentally in the phone. "Wait no no no I didn't mean you…Oh Shaddup… Anyway no my brother isn't paying this time…Yea I know…Inuyasha Saiga. The last name is Saiga. Ok…Monday it is then…Yea yea yea…Bye." He hung up the phone and took a deep breath before looking over his shoulder. Sesshy was going to be pissed.

"The repair man said that they're backed up with tub orders and says that the earliest one they could get here was Monday."

"Monday? Then what exactly am I suppose to do in the mean time? That's tomorrow."

"Beats me. Just skip a day it won't hurt ya any."

Sesshomaru stepped back in disbelief. "Surly you jest! I, Sesshomaru must be able to cleanse the flesh of anything I deem unworthy of my perfection"

"Perfect my ass. If you were so perfect you wouldn't have broken the tub again."

"I broke the bathtub? Inuyasha you must be more mental then we first imaged." The older brother said shaking his head.

"I'm not mental you stupid jerk! Anyway if you want a bath so badly why not just go to the public baths down the street." Inuyasha suggested.

"Are you out of 700 years mind? I will not lower myself to bathing with…humans."

"Well its either bathing with the humans or going a day smelling like your cheap cologne."

A loud smack echoed in the large upscaled apartment, indication of the young pup's head being hit.

"Ow you bastard"

Ignoring the complaining, Sesshomaru walked into the kitchen to fix himself a nice relaxing drink. Maybe some white wine will do him some good. He couldn't believe this. "You shall accompany me to that disgusting hellhole Inuyasha since we failed miserably to wash that filthy carcass last night."

Oh no. That wasn't going to work.

"No I'm not going."

A pointed glare shot in his direction and he shivered away nervously.

"You will go or do you want a nice reminder of what happened last night?"

"Umm I'll go get my bucket and towel."


Stream left the open windows of the open public bath. It was crowed as usual with the usual freaks who enjoyed taking a bath with other people.

Oh how could I have sunken so low. Sesshomaru thought holding his bath materials in his hands tightly against his chest.

"Come on what are you waiting for?" Inuyasha asked pushing him forward.

"Do not rush me. I'm just taking my time."

"Whatever I'm going to go stripe."

Inuyasha walked around his brother and proceeded to the changing quarters.

"Brat." He said in a low tone, but followed suit.

The two males striped down to their towels and headed straight toward the bathes. There were at least 50 or so grown hairy and smelly men sitting in the pool with a few small children swimming around with water guns and floaters. Sesshomaru growled his distaste.

"Whoa that looks like fun-Hey kid let me use your water gun," Inuyasha yelled running toward the pool ahead of Sesshomaru.

A deep sign left the elder's lips as he slowly walked to his heated doom. He stepped one toe in and found the water too cold for his liking but he hand no other choice. He tied his long hair into a top-knot ponytail to keep it out of the water. Removing the towel, he stepped fully into the bath jerking from the feel of the not so hot water, found an empty spot by the wall and relaxed. The water wasn't hot enough at all.

How could humans bathe in such cold water?

"Splish Splash I was taking a bath onnnn a Sunday night. Me and my brother just relaxin' in the tub, thinking everything is alright. We broke the tub so we're forced to bath in this human place, this the first time I've bath in days….." Inuyasha sung as he doggy paddled by Sesshomaru.

"Hello nice night we're having huh?" said a large man who settled next to Sesshomaru.

"Indeed." Sesshomaru really didn't feel like having a conversation with anyone right now especially since the water isn't hot enough. Not to mention all the loud noise.

"Sure is great to have public baths so you can chit chat with anyone sometimes."

The water isn't hot enough.

"Yes sirree this water feels great." the man continued.

Its too cold.

"Nice and hot and…"

Water needs to be hotter.

Sesshomaru couldn't take it anymore, not only was the water cold but this stupid human had the idea that he wanted to talk to him. He'd had it!

A low snizzle began in the water, then small bubbles, and more and more and more until…

"Huh what's going on the water is getting…hotter." The man said feeling his skin getting warmer. "They need to turn the heater down in this thing. Its scorching." he wiped some sweat off of his brow.

"Whew hey mister is it getting hot in here or what?"

Still not hot enough. More. It needs more.

"Damn its hot."

The entire water's surface erupted in a mass of flowing bubbles and stream as the water became even hotter until yells and screams came every man and child as they scrambled out of the tub to reach the edge.

"Hey fella you might want to get out of their before you boil alive!" the man said who was once sitting by Sesshomaru was now standing on the edge of the tub. "Hey can you hear me?"

Awwww. Oh yes now this…is…hot.

Sesshomaru gave a deep sign and relaxed against the rim of the pool. He barely noticed the young pup doggy paddling by.

"…I was splishin' and a splashin', I was rockin' and a rollin',

I'm a swimming' and chillin' Sesshomaru is bitchin' and a tensing'
