InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Living With you is Like ❯ NO HOT WATER?! ( Chapter 3 )

Prompt: Running out of hot water for showers

Words: 619

The late winter weather turned the tap water icy cold, which-in turn made Sesshomaru's teeth chattered stepping out of the shower. With a towel wrapped around his waist, “Kagome,” he barked, “why do you insist on taking such long hot showers?” Kagome turned around from the mini vanity under one of the windows close to their bed to see his face- and she could hardly keep from smiling. I mean who wouldn't try not to laugh when a soaking wet Sesshomaru is standing in the area dripping wet- it was hard to take him seriously. Getting up, she turned off the ceiling fan and passed him his monogramed terry cloth robe.

“Here stop being such a big baby,” she said sobering up a little.

“Forgive me if I'm accustomed to taking hot showers whenever I pleased,” he said placing his robe on and heading into the bathroom to finish drying off.

“Which is hard to imagine; didn't you usually have at least three other people living with you by your parents?”

“That is beside the point,” he yelled and Kagome cringed.

They spent the rest of the morning getting ready in silence, and went their separate ways to work.

Sesshomaru exited the elevator and walked passed his father who immediately realized there was trouble in paradise. Seeing his father, Sesshomaru swiftly but calmly rushed to his office, but never could he guess his father was so quick.

“Sesshomaru,” his father started “, you should know by now you can't beat me; you couldn't do it over 500 years ago and you can't do it now.”

“Do you have a reason for being here?”

“Why yes, of course. I can tell you and Kagome had an argument, mind telling me what is wrong?” Touga asked taking a seat in front of his son's desk.

“Yes, actually I do mind. Now let me get to work.”

“Ok let me rephrase that. Tell me what's wrong.”

“…”

“Fine let me guess… Did she use up all of the hot water?”

Sesshomaru looked at him in shock and silently asked him how he knew.

“It's not hard, you are my son after all; plus you make that face whenever we `un-expectantly' run out of hot water at home,” he said with a light blush.

“Please do not bring up your intimate doings in front of me; my food has yet to fully digest.” Sesshomaru smirked while Touga glared.

“Back to the topic at hand; you said that the place was a fixer-upper, well get fixing- starting with your girlfriend and a new hot water heater. Now, if you'll excuse, I'll be in my office having phone sex with your mother,” he smirked while his son gagged. “Oh by the way, I'll give a little time off here and there to help you get that place of yours in order, but don't expect this too often. The next time this happens it better be because you're either proposing, getting married, or taking her to one of those birthing classes.” With that the former Lord of the West left his son's office.

Sesshomaru returned home from work after Kagome as usual, with a bouquet of her favorite flowers in one hand and a magazine with home appliances in the other. “I'm sorry for yelling this morning.” He saw her head was down on the counter using her arms as a pillow.

“…”

“I brought you these,” he walked behind her placing the flowers in front of her.

“…”

“Kagome say something,” he placed a hand on her shoulder and she took out her sound-canceling headphones.

“Oh hey, can you go back out and get me some tampons and some Midol for my cramps?”

Hey there! I think I've thought of the prompt for next chapter. But keep the prompt/reviews coming!
