Get Bent

I don't own anything Inuyasha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Sango finally found ‘Kagome’, the hidden taiyoukai was seething; hands in tight fists. His eyes darted over as Sango approached his side. Adding to his frustration, Sesshoumaru hadn't even heard her.

“Kagome, what’s wrong?”

Unresponsive, Sesshoumaru looked off into the distance.

“Did Inuyasha do something?”

He answered in steady, angry breathing.

“Did Sesshoumaru?”

'Her' breath stopped.

It was unlike her friend to be silent, especially when angry. Sango knew of only one remedy.

“Hai, I know how to fix you...”

‘Kagome’s’ eyes hopefully widened.

“Your shampoo and sugar!”

He blinked. What in the name of the Kami was shampuanchugar?

~~~~~~~~~~~

If shampuanchugar could cure the miko, it might reverse this curse. This unknown concoction was the miko’s remedy; she knew of special magic and kept silent. Sesshoumaru vowed she would not escape death by his hands again once he returned to his natural body.

Entering camp, Sesshoumaru’s eyes met his own; sparkling in the fear she felt. Kagome had heard every word, and the quiet protests hissing through foreign fangs failed to reach him. He gave her a smug sneer from her own lips.

Carrying odd containers, Shippo jumped onto ‘Kagome's’ shoulder. “Ready for a bath?”

'Her' smirk quickly disappeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Sesshoumaru' steadily rose, more ensuring not to fall than maintaining the facade, while her eyes unsuccessfully hid her dilemma. She had promised confidentiality, and didn't wish to break that promise, but Sesshoumaru alone with her naked...

Luckily, Rin came to the rescue.

"Sesshoumaru-sama? Can Rin bathe too?"

Kagome's mind worked fast. If Sesshoumaru was going to see her... unclothed, she was going to make sure he kept hands above the water.

"Hai Rin, however, I... THIS Sesshoumaru will accompany you."

Everyone was dumbstruck and Kagome attempted to make the baritone voice sound casual against her double meaning. "For protection."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome discovered something new about Sesshoumaru’s senses; he could smell emotions. She was unaware ‘her’ scent since the incident was anger until it changed dramatically as ‘she’ bathed. Kagome should be concerned about how oddly quiet he was, or embarrassed by his expression as he stared into the water covering ‘her’ chest, but the only thing plaguing Kagome’s mind was…

If he’s not angry, then what!!??

Sesshoumaru also had a revelation. He had seen breasts before, multiple times, but never in water. For reasons that escaped him he had thought they wouldn't float.

“Hn,” ‘Kagome’ curiously voiced to no one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bath time over and sensing an irritated youkai, Shippo left ‘Kagome’s’ shoulder, realizing ‘Sesshoumaru’ wanted alone time.

Kagome approached ‘her’, glad he was finally isolated and successfully made ‘his’ voice sound like venom. “What was that all about?”

‘Kagome’ stared, bored already.

“You were… staring!” she scolded, motioning towards ‘his’ chest armor.

Sesshoumaru blinked. No, he had been startled when shivering from the bubbly “shampoo” and hot water goosebumping his new sensitive skin. Trying to fight against the sensations he blocked it out by musing over… floating… Damn, he HAD stared…

Combat Tactical Move: Redirect! “Do not feel complimented, Miko.”
