Chapter 4
Running in Towels
The four of us filed down the stairs and into the kitchen. One of the maids brought plates to the table as we each sat down. Sesshomaru sat at the head of the table, Amber to his left, Koga on the right, and April sat on Koga's right. One the plate were two waffles, stacked perfectly on top of each other with fresh strawberries and bursts of whip cream on the top. They all started to eat their breakfast when Amber looked up and said, "Since we're good friends, we should come up with nicknames for each other!"
Sesshomaru looked at her astounded, April smiled, and Koga let out a laugh.
"Sounds like fun," he said.
"Yeah, but your name doesn't really have anything to make a nickname out of," April stated. Then she looked kind of downcast. "Neither does mine."
"It's ok," Amber said. "At least Sesshomaru can have one!"
"I decline," Sesshomaru said, trying not to choke on his waffles at the idea of a nickname.
"What would be a good nickname for you?" Amber thought out loud.
"Sesshy," April suggested.
"Doesn't quite fit," Amber thought about it some more. "I know! Fluffy! It's the perfect name because of your big fluffy tail!"
Sesshomaru turned a deep shade of pink and coughed on his food. He used his choking as an excuse to cover his red face with a napkin.
"I think it fits perfectly too," April said.
"Yeah, I agree," Koga chimed in.
As they headed back upstairs Sesshomaru pulled Koga off to the side. "If you tell anyone else about this I'll kill you!"
"Point taken," Koga said, knowing full well how serious Sesshomaru was.
They decided to take a swim in the above-ground pool. Luckily the girl's underwear would've fooled anyone into thinking it was a swimsuit. After swimming around for awhile they decided to have a friendly soccer match. Sesshomaru and Amber vs. April and Koga. They pulled on their clothes and took their sides of the yard. They played for a good 2 hours when April got hit in the face and they had to call game because of her bloody nose.
"You ok?" Amber asked her sister.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," April said as she bent her head down to try to slow the bleeding. She was sitting on one of yard chairs.
As soon as the bleeding stopped she stood up and disposed of all the tissues she used. Then she took a look at all of them. They were sufficiently covered in mud.
"We really need to shower and wash our clothes," Amber said.
"We can give you some clothes to wear while the maids wash yours. You can use the bathroom that's down the hall from the game room," Sesshomaru suggested.
"Sounds great. Thanks," April said as the four of them walked back inside the house.
Two outfits were chosen and placed on the couch. They then went into the bathroom and got undressed. A maid took their clothes away to wash. They proceeded to wash their hair and scrub off all the mud. They got out of the showers and dried off. They wrapped a towel around themselves and noticed that they had forgotten to get the set of clothes the boy's had offered them. They were still lying on the couch!
The sisters stuck their heads out the door to make sure no one was coming. They ran as quickly down the hall as they could, making sure that their towels weren't coming off. They grabbed the clothes off the couch and turned around to exit the game room. They were about to dash out the door when they bumped into Koga and Sesshomaru, send all of them flying to floor and skidding three feet. The girls turned a deep shade of red and quickly rewrapped their towels that had 'almost' come all the way off. Koga and Sesshomaru turned a rich shade of scarlet and just sat in utter shock.
Amber and April ran back to the bathroom like there was no tomorrow and slammed the door. This brought the boys back to senses, somewhat. The image of two cute girls dressed only in a towel would take awhile to get out of their heads. They shook their heads to try to clear them but it didn't work. They were still blushing madly. Sesshomaru gasped.
"What is it?" Koga asked curious.
"Those two girls. They had cross-shaped marks on their chest," Sesshomaru said in a daze.
"So," Koga asked.
"Those kinds of marks are usually found on members of the Sprite clans."
"So you're saying they're not human?"
"No."
The two girls were gasping for breathe as they quickly donned the outfits.
"Do you think they figured out that we're not human? That we're sprites?" Amber asked.
"I have no idea, so just act casual," April replied.
They walked out of the bathroom in the boy's clothes and proceeded back to the game room.
"You sure surprised us," Sesshomaru said as they entered and sat down. There was a certain tone in his voice that made them uncomfortable. "I believe you girls have something you're telling us."
"What do you mean? You've only known you for two days," April retorted.
"Where did you get those marks on your chests?" Sesshomaru asked, continuing his investigation in vain.
"You were staring at our chests?! You perv!" April shot back, intentionally trying to change the subject.
"It wasn't our fault!" Koga chimed in. "You were wearing towels!"
Amber just stared from person to person, trying to keep up with the situation.
"Don't blame your inability to think ahead on me," Sesshomaru said. "That whole incident wouldn't have happened if you had thought to bring the clothes with you." They all began to slightly blush as the memories of 'the incident' came back.
"Thank you for having us over," April said as she stood up and exited the room, making her way towards the front door.
"Thanks. I had a great time. We'll see you guys later!" Amber said as she also stood up and followed her sister.
The two boys looked at each other and sighed. 'What a day….'

A/N: One thing I love about FanFiction is that most of the stuff doesn't happen in real life, or at least it shouldn't. I don't know about you, but I'm not going to run through some guy's house in a towel when I just met the dude two day ago. But they're my characters and I can do whatever I want with 'em. Please review to tell me what you think!
