Shippou jumped back, surprised to see his foster brother and tormentor standing right before him.
"So this is where you've been, eh?" Inuyasha said, appearing as somewhat miffed.
"Wh-What? Whadd'ya mean?" Shippou said nervously, as if Inuyasha had caught him doing some kind of dirty act.
Inuyasha plucked Shippou up. Normally he would've questioned Shippou further, but he noticed something seemed kind of off. "You're acting pretty strange..." He said to the boy.
"S-Strange? No sir! Not me!" Shippou replied, starting to sweat a little, either from the steam, or the tension of this situation.
Inuyasha continued to glare at the boy, and would've continued, if not for seeing the steam rising from nearby rocks. "Hey, what's that?" He asked. Shippou just gulped. Inuyasha walked over, and crouched down. "Huh... Looks like a hot spring..." He said, "Not bad, Shippou!" He held the fox boy up to his face, "Looks like you found us our own personal bath! Well, what are you waiting for!? Let's hop in!" The half-demon insisted. He let Shippou go, and started stripping down. First his kimono top, ditching it entirely, before sliding out of his white undershirt to reveal all the sexy, slender muscle underneath. There was a distinct pink blush across Shippou's face. He had always bathed around girls, and to see his older foster brother like this... Well, Shippou felt a little stirring, to say the least. Next was Inuyasha's kimono bottoms, to which he easily slipped off. Inuyasha then stood there, in nothing but a pair of white briefs that Kagome had given to him as a gift a little while back. Although, it barely hid his well-endowed self, the more Shippou tried to look away, the more he found himself staring.
Paying the little boy no mind, Inuyasha splashed right into the hot water, and laid against the side.
"Ahhhhhh... This feels great...." He sighed. "It's like I can feel all my muscles relaxing..." Inuyasha felt as if he was in his own little heaven. Even if Shippou was here, all the mattered right now was that he was keeping quiet and not making much noise.
While Inuyasha was relaxing, it was only Shippou who noticed something strange. Upon a closer obsevation...
