Here's the 4th Chapter. This one is pretty funny. I hope you enjoy. Please post comments. Chapter 5 will be posted soon.
The next morning, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Hatchi woke up at the same time to the smell of breakfast. Izayoi presented it to them. Sesshomaru was already awake and half done with his breakfast. When the boys finished, Inuyasha and Hatchi raced outside and wrestled. Miroku went outside the village and practiced with his monk staff. He swung the staff through a small tree.
It split in two. He continued to slice small trees. After awhile, he practiced in mid air. He was getting used to the monk staff. Inuyasha and Hatchi continued to wrestle in the dirt.
"This is fun!" said Hatchi.
"Yeah!" agreed Inuyasha.
Miroku decided to try slicing bigger trees. He swung his staff at one of them, but it got stuck in the side of the tree. Miroku tried to pull it out, but it was no use. He put his toughest grip on the staff and gave a great big pull. The staff released itself from the tree and Miroku fell back. The staff fell on his stomach.
"Ow," he groaned.
He was stunned for a couple of minutes then he got up with the staff.
"I better take a break," he said to himself.
Hatchi and Inuyasha were still wrestling in the dirt until Izayoi called them in. Inuyasha beat Hatchi inside.
"Yes mommy?" he asked.
"You both had played in the dirt to long. You need a bath. Inuyasha you first," said Izayoi.
"NO! I HATE BATHS!" he screamed.
He tried to make a run for it, but his mother grabbed a hold of him and he fell on the floor. She dragged him into the tub room by his smelly feet. His nails scraped across the floor.
"Mommy you must never wash a dog demon. They can get sick and die!" he said.
"Nice try Inuyasha. I can never believe that story because no dog demon has ever died from baths," she said.
"Well I don't want to be the first."
Izayoi finally got Inuyasha into the tub room. She closed the door and Hatchi waited for his turn. Sesshomaru had a big grin on his face.
"This is going to be good," he said.
He turned over on his stomach and waited for the excitement of Inuyasha's bath. Izayoi hung Inuyasha's dirty red robe over the wall and there was a loud splash. Sesshomaru was clapping.
"Now this is entertaining," he chuckled.
Inuyasha was whimpering like a dog.
"Inuyasha quit squirming!" his mother demanded.
A couple minutes later, Inuyasha was through with his bath. Izayoi pulled him out of the tub/ Soap suds ran down his body. He was shivering. Izayoi covered his nakedness with a giant warm cloth towel. She used a small cloth to dry Inuyasha's hair.
"Stay here. I'll get you some nice clean cloths," she said.
Inuyasha wrapped the big cloth around him tighter to keep warm. In no time, Izayoi came back with a nice wardrobe.
"NO MOMMY ANYTHING BUT THAT!" screamed Inuyasha.
Once he was put into clean cloths, he walked out of the tub room humiliated. Sesshomaru busted up laughing. Hatchi was snickering. Inuyasha's ears drooped down.
"How embarrassing," he said.
He was wearing a pink kimono that had a bow tied on the back. Sesshomaru was still laughing.
"This is too much!" he cracked up.
Inuyasha sat against the wall wishing that he wasn't in a sissy pink outfit. Izayoi took the tub outside and dumped out the water. She brought it back in and started filling it with fresh steamy water. Hatchi started wagging his tail.
"Looks like it's my turn," he said.
"Hatchi you're crazy!" said Inuyasha.
Izayoi handed Hatchi a fresh cloth towel.
"Would you like me to give you a bath or can you do it by yourself?" she asked.
"I can do it by myself. If you don't mind, I would like to soak up," he replied.
"That's fine. Would you like me to wash your clothes?"
"Sure. Thank you."
"Just hang your clothes next to Inuyasha's."
Hatchi went into the tub room and closed the door behind him. He put his dirty clothes with Inuyasha's then he walked over to the steamy, foamy tub.
He stepped in slowly then sank in. He let his feet and tail hang over the side.
"This is relaxing," he said happily.
Back outside, Miroku was practicing with his Monk staff. It was much easier for him to practice in mid air instead of slicing trees. Sweat poured down his face. He continued to practice. At sunset, Miroku started slowing down. The monk staff finally slipped out of his sweaty palms. He fell on his hands and knees.
"You look tired," said a voice.
Miroku turned around and it was Inutiashou. He had baskets of food in one of his arms.
"How long have you been training out here?" he asked.
"Since morning," replied Miroku tiredly.
"You've been out here too long. Come inside."
"I must master my training with the monk staff."
"There's always tomorrow now lets go."
Inutiashou helped Miroku up and he carried his staff for him. They both headed inside the village. In the family home, Hatchi was done with his bath and was dressed in a white kimono. Miroku and Inutiashou walked in. Hatchi greeted his tired friend. Inutiashou was staring wide eyed at Inuyasha.
He was still pouting about his wear.
"Mom made me wear this because I got my other outfit dirty," he said in a low voice.
"HONEY!" Inutiashou called out.
"Yes?" replied Izayoi.
"Why did you dress my son in a pink sissy kimono?"
"His outfit is dirty and he just got a bath."
"You have no right to put him in woman's clothing. Get him out of this feminine kimono now!"
"Honey I'm going to wash his outfit."
Izayoi walked outside to wash the clothes in the river. Miroku was standing in the middle of the room confused.
"I think I missed something," he said.
