A/N: It's total crack. You're warned.
I usually don't do 'holiday specials', but since the Girls' Day is upon us... For you, girls!


A Secret Club


Kagome and Sango entered a small meadow where a hot spring was located. It was their favorite one - a big pool of water, with submerged rocks one could sit upon or lean against. The girls quickly undressed and made their way in the water, enjoying the feeling of the heat relaxing their muscles after a long day of marching. Talking and exchanging bottles of body wash and shampoo the girls were enjoying their time.

Suddenly a gust of wind caught their attention. Sango had a knife in hand in no time while Kagome turned to face the youkai.

"Yo," said Kagura. Kanna gave a small nod. The girls in the pool replied with their own greetings and watched the newcomers disrobing and entering the water. Kanna sighed and smiled faintly. Kagura undid her hair and shook her head. "Gods, I hate that bastard."

"I was worried you couldn't make it," said Sango and passed the shampoo to the wind sorceress.

"Thanks," she nodded. "Luckily he finally sat down in his corner and started talking to himself and cackling so we could sneak away."

"He's most distracted while planning," Kanna voiced her opinion. At the moment she spoke a whirlwind came to a stop in front of the pool, pieces of fur and ribbons flying around as the newcomer shed their coverings.

"Yay!" with a loud splash Ayame joined the party and went to hug Kagome. "Hi, cousin!"

"Cousin?" Kagura blinked. Kagome blushed when Ayame wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"You see, she's a pack-sister of my fiancée." the she-wolf explained. "So she's pack to me."

"Ah, yeah," Kagome nodded. "And we figured out we're kinda cousins."

"Okay, if it works for you," Kagura shrugged. "You always had a weak spot for canines. Speaking of canines - I kinda expected that Inuyasha could sniff out we're using the same shampoo. You know, the last time we battled..."

"Ah," the miko shrugged. "I told him that you probably use some perfumes that smell the same or have a similar shampoo."

"Yeah," Sango added. "It's not like be has a vast knowledge about what girls normally use while bathing. It's not like he used to peep at girls or sniff around hot springs."

"I beg to differ," Kikyou entered the meadow and gave everyone a polite nod.

"Huh?" Kagome blinked.

"Yes. He once watched me when I was cleansing myself," the undead miko disrobed and folded her kimono before joining the rest of the group. Kagura snorted.

"It hardly counts as peeping, you were probably in your kosode and only pouring cold water over yourself."

"True," Kikyou nodded. "Still, he saw me half undressed."

"He saw Kagome naked, a bunch of times," the slayer grinned.

"Sango!" Kagome exclaimed with a blush. Even Kikyou and Kanna joined in the merry laughing. "If there's a competition for being seen naked in a bath then Sango holds the first place, with how many times Miroku- Aaargh!" the future-born miko ran to hide behind Ayame when Sango splashed water at her.

"Ah," Kagura started to rinse her hair from the shampoo. "I love our bath club."

"And Kagome's cosmetics," Kanna added and poured some body wash on her palm. Kagome smiled warmly when all the females in the water hummed in agreement.

"Rin has bad news." a soft voice broke the silence which was ruling over the hot spring for a minute. Everyone looked at the little girl standing between piles of discarded robes. "Lord Sesshomaru didn't want to come to bathe with Rin because he says he's a male."

"Don't worry, Rin." Kagome soothed. "One day he'll embrace his true femininity."

A/N: I was rereading first volumes of the manga - the early Sesshomaru always looks so girly to me...
