Chapter 3: Bath from hell
Ever since the tea incident, Miroku decided to keep his distance from Sango. Shippou had been sleeping innocently during the time so Miroku was glad no one was up to tease him about it. After she had stopped laughing at Miroku's pain, Sango decided to go up to the well and wait for Kagome to bring Kouga back, since that's what she expected Kagome to do, so Miroku was practically alone, save the sleeping kitsune.
"Silence is nice", Miroku said to himself while leaning back on the futon, "I think I'll relax here for while since it's hard to get this kind of time to myself", he smiled and put his head back on a pillow staring up at the ceiling of the hut.
He started to think about why Kagome wouldn't have brought Kouga back, because knowing Kagome, she wouldn't have been doing what he believed. 'Maybe I don't know Kagome as much as I thought? No, she would never do something like that!', "Would she?", he said aloud in a quiet voice. 'Maybe she would keep Kouga with her...maybe she really does want to spend some quality time with him? How surprising! After all, she doesn't have to worry about Inuyasha for a while!', "Kagome you little vixen, I never knew you could be so sly!", he whispered to himself smiling pervertedly as usual.
****************************************
Sango stood at the edge of the Bone Eater's Well, just waiting for the Miko and Wolf Prince to come forth.
Nothing happened.
"Hmm", she said with a puzzled face, "I wonder what happened?", 'It's not possible that what the Monk said is true, Kagome would never do such a thing, that's just his sick mind I can't believe he thought I would believe something like that about my best friend! I know her better than for her to do that!'
She decided to stop staring into the well, it's endless dark vortex was making her dizzy and bored which weren't a very good combination. She turned around, quickly glancing at the hut where she saw movement. It was just Kirara, coming up towards the well to greet her. She turned her gaze down the ground, "I wonder where Inuyasha could have gotten to, there's really nothing for him to do, he should be back soon", she quickly caught Kirara who had jumped up into her arms and began to cuddle into her chest.
"Inuyasha's not gonna like the fact that Kouga is with Kagome alone, he'll probably get really angry", a looked or concern graced her features, "That means he's gonna do even more word thrashing at Kagome about not bringing Kouga back", she thought for a moment. "I know I just won't tell Inuyasha about it, I'll have to tell the monk not to tell either, no doubt he wouldn't blurt out something like that to Inuyasha, especially with ,HIS ideas about it!"
She peered down into the well one more time, expecting to see Kagome, but once again, nothing happened. With that she turned to walk towards the hut, cuddling Kirara in her arms.
"Oh Sango, are ye alone child?", she heard an elderly voice come from behind her.
She spun around on her heal but didn't looked surprised, " Lady Kaede!", she said sternly, "we've been expecting you!"
"Waiting for me child?", she said in surprise, "But where are the others?"
"Miroku and Shippou are in your resides, Inuyasha ran off after his fight with Kagome, he has yet to return", Sango pointed out, "And Kagome has left to go home for a while"
"So what's the problem, that you've bothered to wait for me about?", the old woman asked puzzled since everything seemed to be in order.
"Well...it has to do with Kagome", she watched Keade's expression edge her on, "It's something Miroku and I have to talk to you about really".
"Okay child, let us get down to the hut and we can talk about it over tea", Sango was just about to turn towards the hut, "But first can you aid me in carrying theses herbs?"
Sango gave a displeased groan, but being the demon exterminator she was, she couldn't turn down an old woman asking for help. She walked over to carry one of the baskets but Keade placed both in her hands with none left for herself and walked by Sango towards the hut. Sango bit back an insult and just followed the old miko in silence.
They walked into the hut to find Miroku sleeping on the futon, still wearing a sly little grin on his mouth. Sango laid down the baskets and walked over and hovered over the monks head looking very irritated,'look at him with that perverted smirk on his face, he's not even watching Shippou or standing on guard for on coming demons!', "UGH! He's hopeless!", she said as she waved her hands in the air then bringing one of her hands down smacking the side of Miroku head, "Monk. Wake up!"
Miroku woke up in complete bewilderment, and grabbed his staff and was just about to making a defending swing when he noticed what had happened when he saw Sango's angry face staring straight at him, then his face turned sad, "My dear Sango, why do you torture me like this, I was having the most wonderful dream!", he then beamed thinking back to his reverie.
"Yeah I'm sure you were", Sango glared, "get yourself together monk, Keade's back now!"
Miroku looked passed Sango over to the old woman and gave a small smile, "Oh hello Lady Keade, I'm so glad you're back!", he sat himself up straight on the futon, and patted a seat beside him, motioning for Sango to sit by him, which she did but kept her distance, "We have a slight problem, well I wouldn't called it a problem, more of just a question, which seems to bothering my beautiful Sango!"
Sango gave a "hmpf!", then she corrected, "It is more of a problem!"
"Okay, well stop yon fighting and tell me!", Keade voiced a bit louder than usual.
*****************************
Kouga followed Kagome's scent down a hallway filled with pictures of when her and Souta were little. He noticed one in particular and stopped to admire it. He immediately chuckled at the scene in the photo. Kagome was sitting in a mud puddle looking very cute and smiling a huge smile at him, she only looked to be seven or eight years old, and a little boy, what he guessed to be her little brother was sneaking up behind her about to pour a small bucket of mud over her head, he only looked to be about two.
"Kouga?", Kagome asked coming around the corner, she went to go look for him after she noticed that he'd stopped following, she froze when she saw what he had stopped for.
"Is this you Kagome?", he said smirking and pointing at the small framed photo.
She turned red out of total embarrassment, "Um, yeah that's me and Souta when we were little", she walked over and butted in between the picture and Kouga so he wasn't able see it anymore and shyly smiled, "I didn't even know mama put that picture up, it's really embarrassing!", then she took the picture and turned it face down.
Kouga was a bit disappointed that he wasn't able to see the photo anymore, "But how is it that your in this 'picture' thing, and your so young?", then he put on a confused face, "exactly what is a picture?"
"That's a little hard to explain right now, let's just get you in a bath, no, a shower would be much better for you, then you don't have to bathe in your own filth!", she laughed at his insulted but goofy face that responded to her comment, "Come on, the faster we do this the faster we can go shopping!", she squeaked in a gleeful voice.
Kouga shrugged of the fact that he didn't have a clue what shopping was either, 'this place is so confusing', he thought to himself. He looked down at Kagome to see her smiling at him, he couldn't help but smile back.
He loved it when she was happy, she hardly ever did when Inuyasha was around because he was always complaining, but when she did her beauty really shone out wickedly and he found it hard not to take her into a deep passionate kiss, especially when she was beaming up at HIM.
She turned around on her heel still smiling at the fact that she would be doing a bit of shopping soon, which she missed the most while in Feudal Japan, other than her family that is. She continued to walk the hallway then around the corner humming happily.
Kouga, still beaming, was following her once again but this time much closer than he was before. He was so dazed off in the fact that he was with Kagome that he didn't notice that she had stopped and bumped into her.
"Hey, Kouga watch where your going!", she laughed.
Kouga fell back down to Earth and looked at his surroundings, he was in a small pale yellow room, it seemed to have a giant glass bowl, and oddly shaped chair with a hole in it, 'what's the point of that?', he thought looking at the 'chair', and he noticed a smaller 'bowl'. Both of the 'bowls' had steel spouts sticking out over them.
"Okay", Kagome started while walking over to the larger 'bowl', "this is where you'll take your shower, it's called a bathtub, and you use these to choose hot and cold water", she gestured to two little metal cylinders sticking out of the wall, waiting for him to answer her.
Kouga was very confused but nodded his head anyway.
"And this is soap and shampoo", she continued, "soap's to wash your body with and the shampoo's for your hair! Remember that!", she watched as Kouga nodded his head again, "Okay we got it, I'll just start it up for you and leave so you can use it!". She turned around to turn it on.
Once she figured it was the right temperature, she turned around, only to find that Kouga was already half naked and about to take off the bottom part of his attire!
"Ahh! Kouga, wait till I leave!", she screamed as she ran over holding his hand in place so he wouldn't remove the clothing. Then she noticed she was staring at Kouga's very well defined chest and abs, 'No Kagome! Don't look, stupid teenage hormones!'
Kouga smirked when he noticed that she was staring at him, "why not, it's not like I'm embarrassed or anything!"
"I don't care if you're embarrassed or not, I don't feel like seeing you naked alright!", Kagome looked away from him blushing and starting walking towards the doorway.
"Wait!", Kouga shouted after her, "What if I have trouble?"
"It's really not that complicated Kouga, just hop in, get clean and wrap this around you when you're done!", she threw a towel at him, "Oh and make sure you get all the shampoo out of your hair! I'll be down talking to mama so I'll lay some clothes for you to change into on my bed alright?"
Kouga nodded and he watched her walk out and shut the door behind her. ' Oh yeah Kouga, she wants you!', he thought to himself before stepping into the tub. The water beating on his skin was very relaxing, he then grabbed what Kagome called soap and began to washed himself with it.
********************************
As soon as Kagome closed the door, she turned her back to it and leaned against it taking a deep breath, 'wow, who would've thought Kouga had such a great body under all that armor!'
She bought her hand to her forehead, "no Kagome, you're not suppose to think these things, especially not about Kouga!", she said to herself shocked about what she was thinking, "get yourself together girl!"
Kagome decided she'd better explain things to her mother before anything got out of hand. Who knows what her mother was planning, thinking that Kagome had a long lost boyfriend that she wasn't told about. She jogged down the hall, fixing the picture she had laid face down, knowing that her mother would kill her if she saw what she'd done since that was her favorite photo of her and Souta together. After staring at the picture for a moment, she started to laugh, then felt a little embarrassed at how Kouga reacted to it.
Then she remembered she had to talk to her excited parent, prepared to let her down about Kouga not being her boyfriend and all. She knew her mother would be disappointed because she couldn't wait for Kagome to get her first boyfriend, why? Kagome couldn't imagine the torturous events her mother had planned.
"Mama?", she shouted while running gracefully down the stairs.
"Yes Kagome?", she could hear her mother singing out from the kitchen.
As she walked in through the doorway, her mother turned around to meet her gaze, "What is it dear?", she began searching around Kagome waiting for Kouga to pop out from behind her, "Where's your boyfriend? What's his name again?"
"His name's Kouga mama, he's getting a shower", then she put her finger up about to correct her mother, "Yeah, about him being my boy——."
"It's so nice to see you've found someone Kagome!", her mother beamed while drying a dish she took out of the sink, "I'm sure Grandpa and Souta will love him! And what will your friends think, I'd keep him close to you, he is very handsome, and you know how Eri is!". Her mother put the plate she had down, and picked up a glass to dry. "At least you don't have to pretend he's your cousin from up north like you do with Inuyasha!"
Kagome thought for a minute placing her finger at her mouth. Her mother was right, she couldn't come up with another excuse for another cousin; even though Kouga and Inuyasha acted a lot the same way, they looked nothing alike and her friends knew that her mother only had one sibling. 'I guess I could pretend Kouga was my boyfriend, just for the week he's here with me'. She also knew she would have to lie to her mother or else she would give it away, 'that's okay, I'll just tell her next time I come home, she'll understand'.
"Yeah, isn't it great...but I don't know how I'm gonna tell them how I met him or where he's from?", Kagome questioned in concern then smiled back at her mother.
"Just tell them that he's a friend of Inuyasha's and you went to visit him while you were sick hoping you would feel better and then you two met!"
"Wow, that's a pretty good story, I think I'll use it!", she was glad she had a believable story to tell her nosey friends.
"How long will Kouga be staying with us sweetie?", her mother asked, walking over to the table and taking a seat.
"Um, for about a week, then we have to go back and continue finding the jewel shards before Inuyasha gets mad at me again for taking too long", Kagome replied and took a seat across from her mother.
"So, I'm guessing Kouga will be staying in your room with you during his stay?", Kagome sweat dropped, "besides, your old enough to do your own thing and I can understand you guys would want some privacy."
Kagome tried to say something but her words were frozen in her throat due to the shock she was in at what her mother had just said, and the thought of Kouga staying in the room with her was one scary thought. "You know mama, I think Kouga can manage to sleep on the couch!", she said as soon as she was able to think straight with a small smile and a little wave of her hand.
"Don't be so humble Kagome, you know Grandpa and I will respect you two wanting to be alone together and Souta will pay no heed to it. I insist you two stay together, it doesn't bother me!", she glared at her daughter for thinking that she wouldn't understand, "seriously Kagome!"
Kagome was scared, astonished and confused all at the same time. She couldn't believe what her mother had just said and in such a tone! Her mother didn't even know how long her and Kouga had known each other. Knowing that there was no chance in getting her mother to change her decision, she tried to put on the most appreciative smile she could muster, "thanks mama, I'm glad you understand!"
Kagome got up from the table, still smiling at her mother. She just wanted to run up to her room and scream in a pillow!
Just as she was about to walk through the doorway and do that thought, her mother spoke again, with an even scarier statement, "I hope your using protection!", Kagome was once again at a loss of words. How could her own mother think that she would be doing that kind of stuff, she was only sixteen years old!
She turned around quickly, "Mama!"
"I know it's a touchy subject Kagome but I worry, and if your not then I hope your prepared for anything! I know what it's like to be a teenage girl and---."
"Mama!", Kagome shouted but she was still practically in shock at what her mother implied.
"Okay, okay I'll leave it there but I just wanted to know", her mother replied calmly and comprehensively.
As if on cue to save her, all through the house you could hear a tremendous yelp, "AHH, KAGOME HELP!!!".
*******************************
Kouga was about to get out of the shower, making sure the goo called shampoo was out of his hair first like Kagome had told him to do. As much as he hated the feel of it, it smelt quite good, fruity even. He tried his best to turn off the water, leaving a small constant drip.
He steeped out and noticed a funny shaped object resting on what Kagome called a 'sink'. He figured the object was some kind of weapon so he picked it up to see how it worked. It was incredibly light. As he looked the artifact over he saw a bright red button on the side of it, he brought it closer to his face to examine the tiny red spot, he pulled it slightly away, and just out of curiosity he pressed it.
That was a horrible mistake. A huge boiling wind came rushing right into his face burning his eyes, he started waving the noisy dangerous weapon around, he didn't know how to stop it. He knew there was only one person that could save him, "AHH, KAGOME HELP!"
Less than ten seconds after he cried out, the bathroom door flung open and Kagome ran in, "Kouga?!". Right in front of her she saw Kouga struggling for survival against the hair dryer.
'God help me!', she thought then walked over to the wolf prince, snatched the device out of Kouga's hand and turned it off, "Kouga, I told you not to touch anything!"
"No you didn't!", he snapped back out of frustration from the fight with the evil hair dryer, "that thing almost burned my eyes off, how can you just leave something like that lying around!?"
"Yes I di---.", Kagome blushed so red you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between her and a tomato. Kouga was stark naked in front of her!
Kouga saw that she was stuck just staring at him! He smirked and felt proud that he had caught her attention and he couldn't help but notice her crimson flushed face.
Kagome turned around instantaneously after she noticed she had been staring and folded her arms with an angry face, "Put on a towel!!!!", she snapped while tapping her foot.
Kouga was a little disappointed at her actions but proceeded to do as she said.
Just as he grabbed a towel to wrap around himself Kagome's mother walked in. She gasp and put a hand to her mouth gazing at Kouga whose attention was on the towel, "Oh my!"
As soon as Kouga heard her, "AHH!", and wrapped the towel quickly around himself.
Kagome also turned to see her, "MOM!"
@*@*@*@*@*@*@*

Kagome: that was so embarrassing! How could you do that to me Ashley.

Kouga, still beaming, was following her once again but this time much closer than he was before. He was so dazed off in the fact that he was with Kagome that he didn't notice that she had stopped and bumped into her.
"Hey, Kouga watch where your going!", she laughed.
Kouga fell back down to Earth and looked at his surroundings, he was in a small pale yellow room, it seemed to have a giant glass bowl, and oddly shaped chair with a hole in it, 'what's the point of that?', he thought looking at the 'chair', and he noticed a smaller 'bowl'. Both of the 'bowls' had steel spouts sticking out over them.
"Okay", Kagome started while walking over to the larger 'bowl', "this is where you'll take your shower, it's called a bathtub, and you use these to choose hot and cold water", she gestured to two little metal cylinders sticking out of the wall, waiting for him to answer her.
Kouga was very confused but nodded his head anyway.
"And this is soap and shampoo", she continued, "soap's to wash your body with and the shampoo's for your hair! Remember that!", she watched as Kouga nodded his head again, "Okay we got it, I'll just start it up for you and leave so you can use it!". She turned around to turn it on.
Once she figured it was the right temperature, she turned around, only to find that Kouga was already half naked and about to take off the bottom part of his attire!
"Ahh! Kouga, wait till I leave!", she screamed as she ran over holding his hand in place so he wouldn't remove the clothing. Then she noticed she was staring at Kouga's very well defined chest and abs, 'No Kagome! Don't look, stupid teenage hormones!'
Kouga smirked when he noticed that she was staring at him, "why not, it's not like I'm embarrassed or anything!"
"I don't care if you're embarrassed or not, I don't feel like seeing you naked alright!", Kagome looked away from him blushing and starting walking towards the doorway.
"Wait!", Kouga shouted after her, "What if I have trouble?"
"It's really not that complicated Kouga, just hop in, get clean and wrap this around you when you're done!", she threw a towel at him, "Oh and make sure you get all the shampoo out of your hair! I'll be down talking to mama so I'll lay some clothes for you to change into on my bed alright?"
Kouga nodded and he watched her walk out and shut the door behind her. ' Oh yeah Kouga, she wants you!', he thought to himself before stepping into the tub. The water beating on his skin was very relaxing, he then grabbed what Kagome called soap and began to washed himself with it.
********************************
As soon as Kagome closed the door, she turned her back to it and leaned against it taking a deep breath, 'wow, who would've thought Kouga had such a great body under all that armor!'
She bought her hand to her forehead, "no Kagome, you're not suppose to think these things, especially not about Kouga!", she said to herself shocked about what she was thinking, "get yourself together girl!"
Kagome decided she'd better explain things to her mother before anything got out of hand. Who knows what her mother was planning, thinking that Kagome had a long lost boyfriend that she wasn't told about. She jogged down the hall, fixing the picture she had laid face down, knowing that her mother would kill her if she saw what she'd done since that was her favorite photo of her and Souta together. After staring at the picture for a moment, she started to laugh, then felt a little embarrassed at how Kouga reacted to it.
Then she remembered she had to talk to her excited parent, prepared to let her down about Kouga not being her boyfriend and all. She knew her mother would be disappointed because she couldn't wait for Kagome to get her first boyfriend, why? Kagome couldn't imagine the torturous events her mother had planned.
"Mama?", she shouted while running gracefully down the stairs.
"Yes Kagome?", she could hear her mother singing out from the kitchen.
As she walked in through the doorway, her mother turned around to meet her gaze, "What is it dear?", she began searching around Kagome waiting for Kouga to pop out from behind her, "Where's your boyfriend? What's his name again?"
"His name's Kouga mama, he's getting a shower", then she put her finger up about to correct her mother, "Yeah, about him being my boy——."
"It's so nice to see you've found someone Kagome!", her mother beamed while drying a dish she took out of the sink, "I'm sure Grandpa and Souta will love him! And what will your friends think, I'd keep him close to you, he is very handsome, and you know how Eri is!". Her mother put the plate she had down, and picked up a glass to dry. "At least you don't have to pretend he's your cousin from up north like you do with Inuyasha!"
Kagome thought for a minute placing her finger at her mouth. Her mother was right, she couldn't come up with another excuse for another cousin; even though Kouga and Inuyasha acted a lot the same way, they looked nothing alike and her friends knew that her mother only had one sibling. 'I guess I could pretend Kouga was my boyfriend, just for the week he's here with me'. She also knew she would have to lie to her mother or else she would give it away, 'that's okay, I'll just tell her next time I come home, she'll understand'.
"Yeah, isn't it great...but I don't know how I'm gonna tell them how I met him or where he's from?", Kagome questioned in concern then smiled back at her mother.
"Just tell them that he's a friend of Inuyasha's and you went to visit him while you were sick hoping you would feel better and then you two met!"
"Wow, that's a pretty good story, I think I'll use it!", she was glad she had a believable story to tell her nosey friends.
"How long will Kouga be staying with us sweetie?", her mother asked, walking over to the table and taking a seat.
"Um, for about a week, then we have to go back and continue finding the jewel shards before Inuyasha gets mad at me again for taking too long", Kagome replied and took a seat across from her mother.
"So, I'm guessing Kouga will be staying in your room with you during his stay?", Kagome sweat dropped, "besides, your old enough to do your own thing and I can understand you guys would want some privacy."
Kagome tried to say something but her words were frozen in her throat due to the shock she was in at what her mother had just said, and the thought of Kouga staying in the room with her was one scary thought. "You know mama, I think Kouga can manage to sleep on the couch!", she said as soon as she was able to think straight with a small smile and a little wave of her hand.
"Don't be so humble Kagome, you know Grandpa and I will respect you two wanting to be alone together and Souta will pay no heed to it. I insist you two stay together, it doesn't bother me!", she glared at her daughter for thinking that she wouldn't understand, "seriously Kagome!"
Kagome was scared, astonished and confused all at the same time. She couldn't believe what her mother had just said and in such a tone! Her mother didn't even know how long her and Kouga had known each other. Knowing that there was no chance in getting her mother to change her decision, she tried to put on the most appreciative smile she could muster, "thanks mama, I'm glad you understand!"
Kagome got up from the table, still smiling at her mother. She just wanted to run up to her room and scream in a pillow!
Just as she was about to walk through the doorway and do that thought, her mother spoke again, with an even scarier statement, "I hope your using protection!", Kagome was once again at a loss of words. How could her own mother think that she would be doing that kind of stuff, she was only sixteen years old!
She turned around quickly, "Mama!"
"I know it's a touchy subject Kagome but I worry, and if your not then I hope your prepared for anything! I know what it's like to be a teenage girl and---."
"Mama!", Kagome shouted but she was still practically in shock at what her mother implied.
"Okay, okay I'll leave it there but I just wanted to know", her mother replied calmly and comprehensively.
As if on cue to save her, all through the house you could hear a tremendous yelp, "AHH, KAGOME HELP!!!".
*******************************
Kouga was about to get out of the shower, making sure the goo called shampoo was out of his hair first like Kagome had told him to do. As much as he hated the feel of it, it smelt quite good, fruity even. He tried his best to turn off the water, leaving a small constant drip.
He steeped out and noticed a funny shaped object resting on what Kagome called a 'sink'. He figured the object was some kind of weapon so he picked it up to see how it worked. It was incredibly light. As he looked the artifact over he saw a bright red button on the side of it, he brought it closer to his face to examine the tiny red spot, he pulled it slightly away, and just out of curiosity he pressed it.
That was a horrible mistake. A huge boiling wind came rushing right into his face burning his eyes, he started waving the noisy dangerous weapon around, he didn't know how to stop it. He knew there was only one person that could save him, "AHH, KAGOME HELP!"
Less than ten seconds after he cried out, the bathroom door flung open and Kagome ran in, "Kouga?!". Right in front of her she saw Kouga struggling for survival against the hair dryer.
'God help me!', she thought then walked over to the wolf prince, snatched the device out of Kouga's hand and turned it off, "Kouga, I told you not to touch anything!"
"No you didn't!", he snapped back out of frustration from the fight with the evil hair dryer, "that thing almost burned my eyes off, how can you just leave something like that lying around!?"
"Yes I di---.", Kagome blushed so red you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between her and a tomato. Kouga was stark naked in front of her!
Kouga saw that she was stuck just staring at him! He smirked and felt proud that he had caught her attention and he couldn't help but notice her crimson flushed face.
Kagome turned around instantaneously after she noticed she had been staring and folded her arms with an angry face, "Put on a towel!!!!", she snapped while tapping her foot.
Kouga was a little disappointed at her actions but proceeded to do as she said.
Just as he grabbed a towel to wrap around himself Kagome's mother walked in. She gasp and put a hand to her mouth gazing at Kouga whose attention was on the towel, "Oh my!"
As soon as Kouga heard her, "AHH!", and wrapped the towel quickly around himself.
Kagome also turned to see her, "MOM!"
