Inutaisho contemplated over what to do. It had already been the second day and already Inuyasha was a hand-full for him. What did he feel when he walked into the study to find the boy dripping in mud that of course lead out to the other doorway? Well, it certainly wasn't joy he was feeling.
"What happened?" Inutaisho asked trying to remain calm.
"Umm....I fell from a tree and landed in the mud", Inuyasha pointed out the window at the tree.
"Okay, I'll send a servant to get a bath ready for you,"came his dad's reply. Inutaisho waved to a passing by servant.
"Yes my Lord?,"the servant asked bowing slightly.
"Prepare a bath for my son, then clean up this mess will you?"
"Yes sire", the maid bowed again and took her leave.
Inuyasha's ear drooped, "....Bath?"
"Yes, a bath. I don't need any son of mine running around getting mud on everything in castle. Besides we have a very special guest coming today, and I wish you to be presentable for dinner tonight," remarked Inutaisho.
"A guess? Who papa?"
"A guest Inuyasha, and stop calling me papa. As to answer your question, you'll have to wait and see."
"Oh. Why can't I call you papa?"
"Its not proper. You can and will call me father, and nothing more."
"In the village, I was in, all the children called thier parents papa and mama."
"You aren't in a village now Inuyasha."
"Mama....uh....mother had no problem with me calling her mama. Are you saying she didn't raise me right?"
"No, of course not! Do you know where the bath chambers are?"
"Yeah. Are you trying to change the subject?"
"Perhaps, but I can do that. I am royalty after all."
"Feh. So am I. That's a laime excuse."
"You're right. However, I am the father....you're the son. So you'll listen regardless", Inutaisho exited the room.
~A little while later~
"Lord Inutaisho?," asked the servant from earlier.
"What is it?"
"It's Master Inuyasha. He refuses to get into the bath. I apologize for any inconvience my Lord."
"Don't worry yourself over it. I'll go and find Inuyasha myself."
"I thought I told you to go take a bath?", Inutaisho asked.
"I don't want to!" came Inuyasha's reply.
"I don't care! You should have been ready a while ago."
"Feh."
"I don't have time for this Inuyasha. So, you had better go take your bath or else."
"Or else what?"
"Do you really want to test me right now son?"
"Do your worst old man. Eitherway, I am not getting wet."
"......"
Before long, Inutaisho drops Inuyasha into the tub-clothes and all!
"Hey! This water's freezing!" cries Inuyasha.
"Well, you should have thought of that before",Inutaisho said taking his leave out of the room.
It's short, but I think this one fic might have potential. I couldn't keep it a secret, but the guest is Inutaisho's younger brother. Obviously an O.C, but I don't have a name yet, and maybe his brother's daughter, but it just depends on how it goes.
