Review Response:
Fire Kitty: Since you asked, I will tell you. There are two meanings of Bushichirou. The one I wasn't eager to have people know is that it's a way of serving sushi.
I think that's all right now, so here goes.

Two more days passed before they decided that they had stayed long enough. Kagome had to get back to school. Bushichirou insisted on coming along, much to Sesshomaru's disapproval. Somehow, Kagome had a feeling Sesshomaru was being a bit over-protective.
So it was the night before they were due to leave. Bushichirou was sitting on the veranda looking out over the large courtyard. The others had left wandered off a while before. He lay back and looked to the side. He noticed something in the corner and crawled over to it.
It was the bag that Kagome had been carrying around with her. He sneaked a look in either direction and grabbed the bag. He opened a door into a small room, entered, and shut the door again. He lit one of the lanterns hanging on the other side of the room and sat down with his legs crossed. Then he opened the bag and looked inside.
He pulled out a small white box with some strange red symbol on the front. It was two thick lines crossing each other, one vertical and one horizontal. He opened it and pulled out numerous bottles. One was dark brown. On it was written 'Hydrogen Peroxide'. He opened it and look a whiff. It smelled fine, so he sipped it. There was nothing special about it; it was probably a fancy name for water.
There were two other bottles. Both were clear, but one had green liquid and one deep red. Two things came to mind: the poison that came out of his father's nails, and that stuff that Kagome let him try called candy. So he picked up the green stuff and sniffed it. It didn't smell like poison; in fact it smelled rather refreshing, like ginseng. And since he highly doubted she would put poison in with water, he took a swig.
It wasn't poison, but it most certainly wasn't pleasant. It burned, and when he opened his mouth with surprise and digust, it dribbled over his lap, staining his pants and haori with a greenish tinge. He dropped the bottle and it spilled over the floor. Unfortunately, he had collapsed with swirly eyes (the way InuYasha does when he smells something foul; like this @_@!), and the green stuff soaked into his silver hair. He looked at the bottle, and it said "Listerine Mouth Wash". 'Well, I won't be trying that stuff again anytime soon.' However, it surprised him that people would actually wash their mouth with that stuff.
For a moment he considered abandoning the exploration project in case he got caught. But then he decided not to, since he would be questioned the moment he got caught with green stuff in his hair. But he would leave the bottles alone. Just for a little while.
He went into the bag again and pulled some manner of clothing out. It was like pants without the legs. For a moment he wondered over them, but then realized what they were used for. He shoved the clothing back in the bag, horrified. He decided he better proceed with caution in case he may come across some other offensive undergarments.
He picked up a tube of wet stuff. "Liquid blush?" he said quietly. "People can hold that in tubes?" He slowly poked the tube. However, he nails were sharp, and the tube exploded. Blood red liquid squirted onto his face and torso. He sat there for a moment, stunned. Then he turned back to the last bottle of liquid. This time when he tasted it, he only took a sip.
It was sweet and syrupy. The flavor was strange, but it most definately tasted like the candy that Kagome let him have. He glugged the rest down and gave a sigh, letting tonge hang out of his mouth (^_^!). He looked at the name of it. "Robutussin"; he'd have to ask Kagome to get more of it from her time.
He stood up again and peered out the door. The other's were out there, but all of their backs were towards him. He might be able to sneak out unnoticed. Slowly, he tiptoed out. However, his hopes of escape were dashed.
Oh, how Madam Yu screamed. Everybody spun around, and she dashed over to him to find out what injuries he had. His father stood nervously over Madam Yu's shoulder (wow, never thought you'd hear that one, did you?). When she realized he had no cuts and all his ligaments, she stood for a moment, puzzled.
"What's that all over you?" she asked.
Bushichirou grinned nervously. "Listerine," he said. "and liquid blush."
"You were in my stuff?!" Kagome shrieked.
Bushichirou bowed low to Kagome. "I beg your forgiveness, Lady Kagome! It was wrong of me! Please will you let me go? My eyelashes are starting to stick together."
Everybody looked at a fuming Kagome. She looked at Sesshomaru. "I don't care how you punish him," she said, taking the others by surprise. Partly because she wasn't sympathetic, and partly because she wasn't dealing with it herself.
Sesshomaru grabbed Bushichirou's arm. He dragged his son across the courtyard where several people stared. As Sesshomaru led his son around the castle, rounds of laughter followed him. When the taiyoukai seemed to think his son had been embarrassed enough he lead him back to his room.
