InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Fukai Mori ❯ The hot springs ( Chapter 3 )

All right peoples. New rules. #1 I have to get at least 1 review to update. People have been reading this but not reviewing. #2 someone has to tell me how to put this on fanfiction.net. Another thing is, if you hate my story, flame me. At least it's a review…sorta. O.K, on with chapter 3.

Recap: "Dinner is soon. I will send a servant to help you bathe and dress." With that he left.

Now:

A few minutes later a female wolf youkai knocked on Mesami's doors. The demoness cautiously stepped in. She had a furry black tail and dark blue eyes. Her hair was black, but where the light shined it was deep purple. Her hair was knee length and pulled back in a loose ponytail (think Kikyo's style). She had on a plain grey kimono, which was probably the servant's kimono.

"Mesami-sama, my name is Unaya (pronounced You-nay-uh). I'll lead you to the hot springs as soon as you choose a kimono to wear. They are in the closet." Unaya led Mesami to a door she hadn't noticed before.

The closet was huge and had kimonos of every color and size.

After a while Mesami found a black kimono with deep red Sakura on it. The obi was deep blue and the edges of the kimono were dark purple-blue.

Mesami decided on that kimono and asked if they could go to the hot springs.

"This way Mesami-sama." Unaya said leading Mesami down a hall.

"Please, just Mesami. I'm not a Lady or anything."

Unaya smile." Really? I can call you just plain Mesami? Then you have to call me Unaya. No -san."

Mesami smiled too. "At least I have one friend. I probably won't stay very long, but at least for the time I do I'll have someone to talk to."

Unaya just nodded and frowned a bit. They had gotten to the springs by then. The doors to the hot springs (YEEESSSS!! Ok I started typing this chapter weeks ago and didn't finish. I just finished a project that was due almost two weeks ago so I have to celebrate!!) were mahogany. The carvings were of an inu demoness. She was watching a child youkai in demon form playing in the forest. The demoness was resting on one of the lower branches of a tall tree while the pup pounced on flowers near it.

Unaya opened the doors. Inside was a natural looking hot spring. It probably was natural, too. There were stained glass windows on all the walls and a rock to sit or put clothes on.

Unaya gave Mesami some soap to wash with then left. Mesami stripped and got into the hot springs. She washed the blood and dirt off her body and started cleaning her tail. After a while you could finally see her tail wasn't brown or black. Mesami's tail got lighter and lighter until it was white/silver with black streaks.

Mesami started to scrub the grime out of her hair. She could feel clots of dirt, mud, and blood. After about 15 minutes it felt like she had gotten it all out, so Mesami dove under the water. She shook her tail out, while still under water, and popped up to the surface.

Mesami decided she had spent enough time in the hot springs, so she got out and started putting on her kimono. At that moment Unaya came in.

"Do you need help with the obi?"

Mesami looked at her gratefully.

"Yes, thank you. I don't wear kimonos very often, so I always have trouble with the obi."

Unaya tied the obi and gave Mesami something to wear on her feet. Then she led Mesami to the dining hall. Sesshomaru sat at the head of a table that had room for about twenty people. Beside him, to his right, sat Rin. Sesshomaru gestured for Mesami to sit on his left. Mesami bowed slightly and obeyed.

`She looks nice. She obviously took great care in cleaning herself.'

Mesami was laughing and talking with Rin, unaware of Sesshomaru's thoughts on her.

`Strange, even though she is a full-blooded demon she is being kind to Rin. Maybe I convince her to stay her and take care of Rin. After all, Jaken is not the best playmate and Rin needs someone to teach her to be a Lady.'

With that decided, Sesshomaru halted his observations and ate. When Sesshomaru was finished with his meal he proceeded to go to his study.

@_@-_-?_?
