RECAP: Shigure slowly regained conscience. He stood up on all fours, "Where, where am I?" (Don't forget that Shigure is in his dog form now. But he'd still be a puppy at his age)
"Mom! He's awake!" called out the same voice from before. Shigure saw a girl with light brown hair walk into the room wearing the same uniform the girls at his wore. "She goes to my school? I've never seen this girl around school before…" he thought to himself.
"Poor little guy, I found him out there in the cold street freezing." She told her mom while stroking his fur softly. "Her hands…they feel so soft…so soothing…" thought Shigure taking in every stroke. "Mitsuya, you better give that animal a bath. Who knows how long it's been it's been since out there." suggested an older woman who walked into the room. "Yeah, you're probably right Mom. I'll run the bath. I'll be back you little cutie." Mitsuya left Shigure with only a small smile as she exited the room. "You poor thing. What in the world is a little puppy doing out in the cold like that?" asked the mother, who was now petting Shigure. "Women! So many women!" Shigure thought happily to himself, his tail wagging furiously. She spent a few minutes petting Shigure until Matsuya came back wearing an orange tank top and blue cut off shorts.
"Mom, I'll take him now." Mitsuya said as her mother handed Shigure off to her. She walked down the hallway of the one story house, Shigure looking every which way, absorbing his new surroundings. He could smell the warm water near by and already it was melting the cold away from his frozen nose. Mitsuya slid open a door, unvealing a warm bath ready for Shigure. Before she could even set him down he jumped right into the bathtub, making a big splash and even bigger mess. "Oh…puppy dog, now I have to take this off." Mitsuya stated, looking down at her now water soaked tank top. This of course caught Shigure faster then a bullet train. Her hands, which were at the base of her shirt, were slowly traveling upward as Shigure's nose began to bleed slightly. "Good thing I have this bathing suit underneath!" she exclaimed showing off her dark blue bathing suit. Shigure's blood had yo-yoed back up into his nose for wince it came from.
"Now you stay in there while I go look for some shampoo and soap for you." She gave him a small pat on the head as she exited the room. "Oh well…" he thought, now relaxing in the hot tub of water. "As long as I stay like this, I don't have to worry about—POOF" Before he could finish his sentence he had turned back into his human form.
Yeah! I finished! I'm sorry it took me a while to finally post this. I'll admit that I got lazy. Thanks for reading. Please R&R!
