The Samurai Drabble Series
Number 10: Mitsuhide's Shampoo Crisis starring Mitsuhide Akechi
Mitsuhide had a day off. Unusual since he was Nobunaga's favourite retainer/lover/slave (depending on your preference), and Nobunaga was a very demanding general/lover/master (also depending on your preference). He decided he would like to pamper himself, so he chose to have a relaxing bath.
He drew the water and heated it, carefully filling the bath. He lit some incense, and extinguished the flame allowing the sweet scented smoke to float around the room. He lined up each of his required body washes, and his towels (one for his body, three for his hair) and lastly his prized anti-frizz shampoo. He undressed slowly, folding up each garment and placing on a nearby chair. Meticulous as always.
Mitsuhide climbed into the bath and relaxed, his tension melting away. After a couple of minutes he began his exacting process of washing that kept him well scrubbed for days. Starting with his body wash he sponged himself all over (Oi! Minds out of the gutter, Mitsuhide fan girls!) He rinsed his body clean and reached over to his special shampoo.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The super sonic cry of distress covered the whole castle, interrupting Nene and Hideyoshi's 'special time', Katsuie's practice spar against Toshiie, and generally deafening anyone in a five mile radius.
Ieyasu looked over at Tadakatsu.
"Mitsuhide's out of shampoo again" he grumbled, rubbing his sore ear.
"I guess so, my lord" grunted the invincible warrior, rubbing his ear as well.
Well I'm officially one-tenth of the way to the 100 drabble mark. I hope people are or most likely were enjoying the series as much as i am. Unfortunately i had these latest drabbles on hand, but my comp decided it was due a crashing, burning fit and it took ages to get it fixed. Well read and review, and as always feel free to make a suggestion! :)
