Chapter 4 :Shower Time

InuYasha just stared at her for a few seconds 'WHAT?! What, NO, she can't mean that, anything but that!!! Not a shower...what's a shower?' he thought while looking at Kagome for any sign or clue or well...anything but all she was doing now was going though her dresser drawers. "Ahhh, Kagome, uhh, well, what did you mean?"

While still looking though her drawers she says, "I said that you have to take a shower"

'Ok so it's a shower, what is a shower anyway? Dose it hurt? No, it cant, then Kagome wouldn't look forward to it if it did...but then what is it?' InuYasha pondered to himself while Kagome finished her dig though her dresser.

"Ok, I found it InuYasha, come on follow me" Kagome tells InuYasha as she finishes her seek for the clothing article she was looking for. She then walks out of the room carrying 2 extra large t-shirts waiting for InuYasha to follow.

InuYasha wines as he follows Kagome down the steps "why do I have to take a shower?"

Kagome sighs and says, "Number one...because you can't get around without one in my time and because I don't want to be around a stinky hanyou this whole trip. That's why so quit your complaining and just come here," she says as she walks into the laundry room.

'Ooookkkk now that was different...wait did she just call me a STINKY hanyou?' wondered InuYasha as he walked into the laundry room behind Kagome.

Kagome started to dig though the piles upon piles of clothes that were not yet taken up to one of the bedrooms to be worn. Kagome then stopped at her grandfather's and started to pull some articles up from the bottom, she spend a few seconds looking though them and pulled one out. It was a pair of boxers that had actually belonged to her father, they found a box of his clothes a few weeks ago and they kept what they though grandpa would wear. What Kagome knew that nobody else did was that her grandfather would NEVER wear those so it was ok to let InuYasha use them. She them went over to her pile and picked up 2 plaid flannel lounge pants and put them on to of her pile she then picked out 2 towels and put her pile of clothes on top. "Here InuYasha carry this upstairs for me" Kagome says as she hands the cloth to InuYasha and starts to walk towards the stairs.

But before she left the laundry room she stole a glance at eh washer to make sure the almost full load of red she had collected was sill waiting to be washed. It was of coarse and with that she left eh laundry room and walked up the stairs with the irritable hanyou following her.

Kagome walks into the bathroom and pulls the two towels out from underneath the clothes and hangs them on the towel rack that is screwed to the wall. The she takes InuYasha's pile of clothes and places the on the bathroom counter with her clothes next to them and says, "Thanks InuYasha"

InuYasha tries to hide his happiness from being praised but he smiles ever so slightly anyway. "Ok now what" he asks trying to have with a very negative tone to it.

Kagome glares and threatens, "you'd better get in a decent mood quick or you'll get it InuYasha." (She obviously thought that he was in a bad mood)

InuYasha blinked at her abruptness but just feh'd and fell silent.

"Ok InuYasha come here I want to show you how the shower works ok?" Kagome informs InuYasha

InuYasha sighs and walks towards Kagome to hover over her shoulder and watch what she was explaining.

"Ok-"Kagome starts

"Hey Kagome, What's a Shower?" InuYasha cuts her off

"Kagome gave him a look while she jogged her memory 'ha I can't believe I haven't told InuYasha about a shower...this should be interesting....' "Uhhh it a form of bathing but it more modern and convenient."

"Uhhhh" was InuYasha's only reply.

"Urg pay attention would you, I'm going to explain how the shower works" and Kagome opens the door to the shower/tub and kneels down next to it in between it and the now closed toilet. She smiles as she to motions InuYasha to come over and watch her.

InuYasha then hops over onto the toilet seat behind her and leans over her shoulder to watch her. Kagome starts to explain what all the knobs and bottles and such are used for and how they work. At one point near the end InuYasha got so involved into what she had to say that he leans to far forward and losses his balance. His arms moved fastest of as a reflex and he lengthened his legs he then fell with his hands forward catching him so he doesn't land flat on his face.

Kagome was startled by the sudden movement and blinked a few times once InuYasha had caught himself but then fell of the balls of her feed onto her rear end laughing as hard as she could.

InuYasha was now in an arch above Kagome, she was on the floor his feet were on the toilet seat and his legs were strait and so were his legs as his arms supported his top half and he was looking at her face with a priceless expression.

Kagome was still laughing her head off when InuYasha finally spoke, "what's so funny? He asked.

Kagome toke a little but she finally was able to squeak out, "your...face...was...priceless...you...were so...cute" in between giggles.

Kagome didn't realize what she had said but InuYasha did, his mouth would have hit the floor but he was upside down at the moment and it was easier just to give her a extremely surprised and confused look but Kagome didn't see it she was still laughing and tears were now forming in her eyes and running down her cheek.

InuYasha all of a sudden became worried and asked in a truly worried tone "hey Kagome what's wrong?"

Kagome was surprised until she noticed that she was crying, "oh its nothing InuYasha it just some people tear when they laugh hard that's all.

InuYasha was surprised but said, "ok..."

Kagome had just gotten an idea from the utterly ridiculous position that InuYasha in, she moved slowly and silently till her feet her under her so she could move fast and so InuYasha wouldn't have time to react. She then turned around quick as a flash grabbed InuYasha's ankles and tossed them behind her. This send InuYasha completely into the tub in a crumpled heap. Kagome turned around in time to see InuYasha still in a heap his face planted into the plaster of the tub.

Kagome laughed at this and InuYasha was definitely surprised to say the least he groaned as he moved his head from under him and yelled, "what was that for?"

"Just for fun" was Kagome innocent reply.

InuYasha glared 'innocent, ha what was I thinking?!? When was Kagome EVER innocent?!?' He thought while he moved his face out of the bottom of the tub.

Kagome went into another fit of giggles and InuYasha glared at her.

"I'm sorry InuYasha it just that the look on your face was soooo funny!!" Kagome manages to get out before going into another bout of giggles overtakes her at the memory of it.

'Hey what happened to "cute"...AAAHHHHH what am I thinking?!?! Cute I never wanted to be called that in the first place!!! URG KAGOME!!!!' InuYasha lets out a frustrated sigh and starts to get lost in his thoughts again 'what is she doing to me?...'

InuYasha is pulled back to reality when Kagome starts to stand up, "hey are you gonna sit there all night?"

Thud

InuYasha meets the plaster of the tub for the second time in a matter of 5 minuets. "HEY WHADYA DO THAT FOR WENCH?!"

Kagome blinks, "sorry I forgot."

"HOW COULD YOU FORGET SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!?!" InuYasha yells.

"Well, I can usually say it in my time" Kagome retorts.

"Feh" InuYasha says as he takes Kagome's hand and she pulls him to his feet.

Kagome then goes on to finish her speech about the shower and InuYasha is now on the ground next to Kagome were he cant fall over. (Ohhh so he dose learn...lol)

Kagome finished her speech and said, "Ok I'm going to get undressed and take my shower then ill leave the water running and you can take one after me, ok?"

InuYasha nodded out of habit and Kagome grabbed her towel and ran out the door into her room to get undressed and ready for her shower. She came back a few moment later wrapped in a towel and said "come over here and watch as I turn the water on so you know how to do it for later." Kagome gave him a severe look when he didn't move. With the look he just sighed and ambled over to were he could see what se was doing. She turned the right knob first and let it sit for a moment then ran her hand under the water. She seemed to be happy with the water temperature since she then turned the other knob and added cold water to the liquid coming out of the faucet. She then ran her hand under the water again to check the temperature the adjusted the hot and cold a little but before she turned the middle knob and sent the water that was currently about to flow out of the faucet to the showerhead. It was just like Kagome had explained it.

'I think I get this' InuYasha thought to himself as Kagome asked him to turn and face the wall as she got in. he did so and started to examine the "beautiful" wall of the bathroom.

Kagome took her shower and told InuYasha what all the colored bottles were used for the whole time. InuYasha was kind of lost but kept repeating the fact over and over in his head so he would not forget them, 'the pink is shampoo and the white is conditioner but the white with blue stripes on it is a soap...and the purple puffy ball was a shower squeegee...'

Kagome's voice then sounded sending him back to reality "hey InuYasha, turn around again so I can get out."

InuYasha sighed and turned to face the "beautiful" wall again while Kagome wrapped herself in the towel now dripping wet. "Ok InuYasha you can look now" Kagome reassured the hesitant hanyou.

InuYasha turned around to find Kagome in a VERY short bath towel. "Ahhh, Kagome Don't you think that it's a bit short?" he asked nervously.

Kagome looked down, "Na its fine this is the normal length of a bath towel that is why we never go near Miroku when we bathe he would definitely notice it more that you would."

InuYasha blushed a little and just feh'd softly.

Kagome then spoke up, "ok I'm gonna step outside so you can get undressed and slip in the shower, ok?"

InuYasha noticed a blush creep onto his face as he started talking, "uhhh c- could you stay in here and just face the wall of something...I-I just feel better if you're here since I don't know how this works."

Kagome was surprised at first but then smiled and nodded, "ok InuYasha"

InuYasha let out a sigh and relaxed, he then started to remove his kimono while Kagome now looked at the "beautiful" wall. InuYasha was now fully undressed and was starting to feel embarrassed to be nude in the same room as Kagome especially since all she was wearing was a towel..."uh Kagome were should I put my kimono?" InuYasha asked as innocently as he could.

"Just on the counter" was Kagome's answer while she stayed stating at the wall.

There was a plop and the sliding of a door before InuYasha spoke again. "Ok Kagome you can turn around now."

He now knew why Kagome longed for the things that she called showers. InuYasha was surprised at how good it felt to let the warm water run down your back washing away the dirt and grime (and blood in this case). He then turn around and let the welcoming warm water run down his front and to wash his face of impurities.

Kagome decided that she wanted to give him a hard time and teased, "Well about time, I was starting to get stiff." Then she laughed lightly to make sure that InuYasha got the point that she was kidding.

Luckily he did so no argument started from that comment, "ummm hey Kagome you I use the sham-poo first?"

"Yea you got it InuYasha, now there are 3 different bottles of shampoo the pink one is strawberry scented the blue one is rainforest and the clear bottle is my brothers shampoo, id advise you to stay away from it, it smells really bad to me and I don't even have that good of a nose."

InuYasha had to smirk at this, what she said was true all he had to do was move his head close to the bottle a he could smell its hideous sent. After smelling the other two shampoos he chose the strawberry and lathered it into his LONG silvery mane. After it became sudsy he washed it out like Kagome had told him to and the picked up a conditioner (he knew he remembered about this one) and smothered it into his hair and let it sit and soak in while he then asked Kagome another question, "so what soap do I use Kagome?"

Kagome had been waiting to use for him to ask another question and answered this one rather quickly, "you can either use one of the bars or the liquids and you can use a squeegee if you want but only use the blue or the green one ok the purple one is grandpa's, and I don't want to think of what he would do if he found out that you used his bathing tool...ha!"

InuYasha even had to smirk at this, he was kind of funny when he was throwing thing around and always seemed to be on what appeared to be on the verge of hysterics.

"Hey InuYasha?" Kagome ventured.

InuYasha had not expected Kagome's question and was caught off guard by her voice. "Uhhh" he answered nervously "what Kagome?"

"What do you think of my family?" She asked straight out

InuYasha all but dropped the bottle of soap he was holing, "uhhhh, well, ummmm, I, uhh, I truthfully don't know..."he finished.

Kagome was surprised at his answer but then thought to herself 'what were you expecting? Uhhh I don't know,' admitted a part of her mind.

"Why?" InuYasha asked now curious to why the question had come up.

"Well, I was just wondering since you are going to have to spend the next month with all of them." Kagome answered calmly.

"What?!" InuYasha cried as her dropped the green squeegee her was using to clean himself with.

"Well I'm not sure if I clarified the fact that my grandpa would be with us the whole time." Kagome said thoughtfully.

"Well no you didn't." InuYasha all but yelled.

Kagome laughed, "InuYasha it will be fine, he'll get over it after awhile, he'll get depressed that his spells don't work and stop so you don't have to live with it for long."

InuYasha pouted, "whatever he retorted as he picked up the green squeegee and resoaped it and continued to clean himself. About 5 minutes later InuYasha had washed the soap and conditioner out of his hair and was enjoying the feeling of the warm water flowing over his soft skin one last time before he asked Kagome another question, "ahh, Kagome, how do you turn this thing off?"

Kagome looked up at the frosted shower door, now fully dressed and smiling since InuYasha's kimono was in the wash and he couldn't do anything about it. "Oh turn all the knobs to the left, starting with the middle one then the left one and last the right one, ok?"

InuYasha nodded but Kagome didn't see since she was concentrating on something else. He turns all the knobs off and grabs a towel from the side of the shower door. He then wraps it around his waist and opens the door to get out.

Upon hearing this Kagome gives some advice. "Watch out when you get out its slippery and you will probably fall if your not paying any attention to your feet"

InuYasha just "feh'd" and stepped out sloppily. Just like Kagome said he would slip, he did, he was all the way out and was about to turn around to close the door when his foot came out from under him and he started to fall. He reached out in front of him out of habit and grabs Kagome's arm. Kagome wasn't ready for that and starts to fall to the floor with a squeak. InuYasha had ended up sliding forward and in an attempt to balance himself he leaned back pulling Kagome forward on top of him and his feet out from under him the other way. He still ended up on the floor but this way Kagome didn't get hurt and he took all the impact.

Kagome was now all wet and her hair, which she had just gotten pulled back was all over the place. InuYasha was also lying on the floor with Kagome stuck on top if him because he still hadn't let go of her wrist. Kagome could feel her cotton t-shirt absorbing the water off of InuYasha's wet torso. The thing that surprised her the most was the close contact they both had.

InuYasha then let go of Kagome's wrist and pushed her off of him and helped her up. They both had a growing blush on their cheeks from the accidental close contact they had just encountered, mind you Kagome's was a darker blush but InuYasha had one too.

'InuYasha!!! Why didn't you listen?!?!...Jerk!!!' Kagome thought as made a face at InuYasha.

"Uh, Kagome? I'm sorry" came a hesitant voice that she knew so well.

"You'd better be sorry!!!" she fumed and the said in a much calmer tone she responded once she relized that he had just apologized on his own free will "get dressed in your pajama's and meet me in my room"

InuYasha blinks at the sudden change of expression that Kagome has but doesn't argue since she seemed to be ok by the last tone she used on him so he wasn't going to ruin It if she was going to let him off that easy than he better take advantage of it since I didn't happen too often...

Kagome walked out of the bathroom and once in her room let out a deep sigh "well that was interesting" she mumbled to herself and then let out another sigh while she waited for InuYasha to come back.

InuYasha was still grumbling about being yelled at, but only to himself, so he didn't do it later to Kagome. He then stepped back into he tub, shut the door and shook the water off of him like a dog. Once he was done he looked down at the pile of clothes that Kagome had left him, "ok...what are these for?" the then looked around for his red kimono but didn't find it then it hit him.

Flashback

While InuYasha rinsed out his hair Kagome spoke up and asked him a question "hey InuYasha, you ok for now?"

"Huh? Yea I'm fine, why?" the curious InuYasha wondered.

"Oh I'm just going to go check something, that's all, I'll be right back." Kagome reassured him.

There was a flash of red he saw from the corner of his eye and a hasty retreat by Kagome. (Laundry room quick!!)

"Ok" InuYasha responded content with the situation at the time.

End Flashback
'That's it she took my kimono when she left to "check on something" didn't she?' InuYasha assumed. InuYasha wined as she as he got into the clothes that Kagome had left for him. Once he was in them, he noticed that they weren't as uncomfortable as he thought that they would be. 'Hey these clothes aren't that bad, they are loose and I can move around in them and they are made of a relatively soft material so they are not that much of a nuisance.' InuYasha thought 'well they could be better but this is human clothes we are talking about here so it isn't that bad, but I still like my fire rat armor better.' He complained to himself as he left the bathroom.

InuYasha sighed one last time before he opened the door to Kagome's room and walked in.
