"What are you doing?" Sesshomaru's deep, silky-smooth voice, tinged with an overtone of curiosity, came from the open doorway of the bathroom.
Inuyasha, caught in the act of drinking directly from the cascading spray of shower water, closed his mouth, drew his head back from the water, stared at the taiyoukai who was leaning casually against the door frame, and said a little defensively: "Taking a shower, of course. What does it look like? And I thought I closed that door?"
Sesshomaru was tempted to launch into some partially poetic but mostly filthy descriptions of what his half-sibling looked like standing beautifully naked under rain-like droplets of falling water, behind the clear glass screen of the brand-new, spacious shower area they had built. It was an especially welcome sight because he had finally succeeded in luring Inuyasha out of the guest room and back into their bedroom only two days ago.
But he was marginally more intrigued at present by the drinking. "It looked like you were swallowing your shower water," he stated.
"Can't a half-demon do two things at the same time?" Inuyasha sighed. "In fact, can't a half-demon do anything around here without being ogled?"
"Does the water taste different coming out of the shower head?"
"Uh, it still tastes just like tap water, only a lot warmer coming straight from the heater, and it sort of splatters in these firm little drops right onto your tongue… I dunno, it's fun drinking it that way sometimes, you know? Come on, don't tell me you've never stood under the shower and just tilted your head back and held your mouth open."
Sesshomaru had to admit that he had never done any such thing. When in his two-legged form, he was proper enough to drink strictly from cups and glasses, and occasionally from the narrow openings of bottles if there was no other sensible option. When in his dog form – an increasingly rare occurrence these days for lack of space and privacy – he liked to put his head down and lap from pools, streams and lakes.
But having seen with his own eyes how domestic dogs seemed to have a ball slurping up water from burst water pipes, running kitchen taps, leaking faucets, bathtubs, even toilet bowls, he wondered if there was something profoundly doggish about drinking water from inappropriate modern-day outlets that he was somehow missing.
So when it was his turn to step into the shower later that morning, he tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and let the fine pellets of liquid hit his tongue and the back of his mouth. He discovered that it was a rather enjoyable sensation. Not anywhere near as efficient and sensible as drinking from a cup, but certainly interesting, and different.
Hmm.
Sesshomaru might have been able to keep his shower-drinking experiment from Inuyasha by taking care to lock the door while he was in the bathroom, but he was caught lapping from the kitchen tap later that night, after dinner, when he was supposed to be doing the dishes.
"Ha! Couldn't resist that, could you?" Inuyasha snorted. "Come on, tell me it's a nice feeling to drink water that way."
"It's not bad," Sesshomaru said, in as dignified a way as he could with water dripping down his aristocratic chin.
Inuyasha stepped forward and bent his own head down towards the flow of water. As he drank, he commented: "The kitchen tap *slurp* is nice *slobber* because the faucet's *lick, lick* set nice and high above the sink, so *lap, lap* you can get at a whole long, thick stream of water *slurp*."
Sesshomaru bent down again and joined him, their tongues tangling. He was obliged to confess that it was fun competing with his brother to see who could get more from the same stream of tap water.
They tried lapping water from the bathtub next, and from a fishbowl housing a single goldfish that Sesshomaru's mother had left with them while she was on holiday, and from the hose that they sometimes used when they wanted to wash the balcony, and from the watering can, and together in the shower again.
After being generally silly, almost giving the goldfish a heart attack, and wasting an awful lot of water, but having had more innocent fun together than they had enjoyed in a very long time, they were hyper-hydrated and at bursting point.
"I need to pee," Inuyasha announced as they stood in the shower.
"Well don't do it here – we just cleaned the bathroom yesterday," Sesshomaru warned, although he himself was tempted to empty his extremely full bladder right where he stood. "Not with the toilet bowl just ten feet away, all right?"
As he said that, they looked at each other with an odd gleam in their eyes, turned off the shower, and went over together to peer into the toilet bowl.
Now that, they hadn't tried drinking out of yet.
It did look tempting, however, a cream-hued porcelain basin half-filled with water that was all still and cool and inviting, and dogs did love pee, and poopy smells, and…
Sesshomaru caught Inuyasha's eye again, and both brothers leaned back and away from the toilet bowl.
"That might be going a little too far," Inuyasha declared. He was half-human after all, and there was something about sticking his head into a toilet bowl for the purpose of lapping at the water in it that seriously revolted the human side of him, although the doggy half was inclined to be adventurous.
"Mmm… you could be right," Sesshomaru admitted. "Although it does look nice…"
The brothers leaned forward again and looked at the water.
Inuyasha pulled back once more and said: "Eww. No, I can't."
"Just one little lap," Sesshomaru cajoled.
"Nope. This is where I draw the line."
"One lick."
"Yuck."
"All right, then, I'll do it."
"Sesshomaru, if you stick your mouth in there I can tell you right here and now that you are never kissing me, ever again, for as long as we live, and I think you know that's going to be a pretty long time."
"Come on, Yasha, just once, so we'll know what it's like," Sesshomaru said as seductively as it was possible for a dog demon to be while hovering over a loo.
"Sesshomaru, we don't have to know what it's like. Uh-uh, don't you dare…"
"It's only a toilet bowl."
"It's a TOILET bowl."
"You lick my butt sometimes."
"That's different. And this is where this debate ends. It's me or the toilet bowl."
"Well, when you put it like that…"
"I do put it like that. And don't think you can get away with it while I'm asleep or out, because if you think I won't be able to smell toilet-bowl breath on you even when I'm totally unconscious, think again, Sesshomaru."
"Wimpy half-human."
"Filthy dog."
"Look who's talking dirty now."
"Filthy, filthy dog…"
Author's Note: I hope this calmer, shorter chapter offers some light relief after the slapstick humour of the last instalment. Thanks for the doggy suggestions that some of you wonderful readers have sent, and for all the nice reviews. As I haven't yet been gifted with the inspiration to use those ideas in this series, I’d love it if you could find a way to use them in your own stories – after all, they're your ideas! So come on, Fluffy's Green Comb – let's see you include a scene in one of your own tales where Sesshomaru pants, tongue hanging out, to cool down!
