Kyra's hand closed softly over Hercules's hand and she moved his fingers just slightly showing him the correct way to hold the chopsticks and Hercules could have sworn that the room had gotten twenty degrees hotter.

"T-thanks," he stammered, "I think I've got it now." By the time they had finished eating the storm out side had stopped.

"Come," said Kyra taking his hand, "let me show you around."

She proceeded to take Hercules all over the country on a grand tour. After the tour they lounged by a Lake. Just as Hercules was about to close his eyes he saw a transparent feminine form moving toward them in the water. Hercules nudged Kyra who was relaxing on the grass next to him.

"I think we may have a problem." Kyra sat up and looked at the form coming toward them. Instead of looking concerned she smiled.

"That's just my sister the water goddess," she said. The transparent form stepped out of the lake and immediately became a girl that was identical in appearance to Kyra. The difference was Kyra's outfit was white oriental leather with electric blue lining and matching boots. This girl's outfit was as a solid blue with matching boots.

"Hercules," said Kyra, "This is my sister Kyla, Kyla, this is my new friend Hercules, from Greece."

"Wow," said Hercules blurting out the first dumb thing that popped into his head as they walked back into the temple, "Twins."

"Triplets, actually," replied Kyla with a smile. Just as she said that Hercules saw the flame from one of the torches begin to grow and take on a human form and all at once there was another mirror image of Kyra standing there this one was clothed in red leather.

"This is our sister Kisa the fire goddess," said Kyra. Kyra's sisters looked at Hercules with approving looks. Kisa turned to Kyra,

"As usual, sis I can't knock your taste in men."

"Just when I thought things couldn't get more complicated." Hercules muttered to himself.

Three weeks later…

Classes at Cheiron's academy were in full swing the academy had built on an indoor bathhouse for use in the colder months of the school year. Hercules Jason Iolaus and Lilith walked into the dormitory Iolaus yawned,
"I'm beat that bed sure is going to feel good tonight!"
Hercules and the other cadets nodded in agreement. Hercules went his bed and started to pull back the privacy curtain and froze there laying on his bed in a seductive pose was a raven- haired Asian beauty about his own age.
"Hi Hercules," she said batting her eyelashes, Hercules gave a very unmanly yelp and jerked the curtain closed. The other three cadets were now wide awake and standing there as he turned around.
"Did we hear a girls voice?" said Jason and Iolaus in unison.
"M-Must have been L-Lilith," stammered Hercules, "she's the only girl around here."
"Hercules, who is on your bed?" asked Lilith her eyes narrowing
"M-m-my B-B-Bed," Hercules sputtered again.
"Yes," said Lilith, "who is on your bed?"
"What about this weather we're having?"

"HERCULES!!"

Cringing and expecting the worst Hercules pulled back the curtain and there was no one there.

"Hmm," said Lilith, "I must be more fatigued than I thought I hearing things." Disappointed Jason and Iolaus turned and went back to their bunks.

The next morning was a weekend morning the rooster began to crow.

"Cock- doodle-IRK," and a slightly befuddle rooster stood there with a horse shoe around it's neck.

"Ringer," said Iolaus, before turning over and going back to sleep.

Hercules, wearing a towel and carrying a washcloth and soap, walked into the bathhouse the bathhouse had a 12 foot by 12 foot pool that was supposed to be heated by a fire burning below the pool it's self. Using his foot he tested the water and found that it was ice cold.

"Great," said Hercules, "Cheiron builds this so we can have warm baths and what does Iolaus do when it's his turned to bank the fire he forgets so the coals go out so the water is ice cold. Oh well might as well get this over with." He was taking of the towel when he became aware that the room was suddenly warm turning around he saw steam coming up from the now warm water and he also saw three Asian goddess standing on the edge of the steps that led down into the water. Each of them was wearing bathing clothes that didn't leave much to the imagination. Before Hercules could say anything

"Now we'll show how we take a bath in our country," said Kyra

They sat him down on the steps leading into the water they poured warm water from a small wooden dipping pail on his shoulders and back then they took sponges and began to wash him. About that time Hercules caught a glimpse of Feducious walking by with a tray of dishes in his hand. Hercules crossed his fingers.

"Maybe he didn't notice." Said Hercules a Feducious disappeared from sight.

Suddenly there was a horrendous crash as the dishes hit the floor.

"He noticed."
