When Ukyou opened the bathroom door, she found the triplets keeling before her with a pail of bathing toiletries. "Would you like a bath, goshuujin-sama?" asked the pink-clad one, "You must be tired and ripe from your long journey."
Wordlessly, Ukyou accepted the toiletry pail. As soon as the pail was securely in her hands, the trio disappeared down the hall, giggling madly. This seemed a bit suspicious to Ukyou, but paid it little attention. She was rather ripe and very tired and could use a thorough massage or soak. The massage was out of the question, though, so that left a soak.
With pail in hand, Ukyou strode off to the baths.
Like the restroom, the bathroom was an obscene waste of precious space. A big wide tub that was more like a swimming pool co-dominated with the large, tall figure of an almost naked angel (female, but in the Hanaukyou/Kuonji mansion, that goes without saying) pouring water perpetually out of a pot, which was sitting in the center of said bath.
Ukyou felt naked, even considering that she now only had a towel wrapped around her torso to protect her modesty while in a strange house. It was here that her secret was most vulnerable to exposure. Ukyou looked down into her own cleavage, musing that nothing could negate her fundamental femininity.
Well, surgery could, but she was nowhere near prepared to take that step.
Ukyou looked around. There were no faucets or areas to clean herself before soaking in the pleasantly hot water of the bath. That said to her one thing: this was a Western-style bath. That meant that the bath would have to be emptied and filled anew after each bath. "What a shameful waste..." mused Ukyou, making a mental note to put a traditional cleaning area and save this part for soaking.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it now. She searched through the pail of toiletries as she stepped up to the piping hot bath water and prepared to scrub the grit off her... only to find that there was no soap in the toiletry kit. Indeed, as she looked through the kit, it could hardly be called a toiletry kit, really. Just a bunch of bath toys.
"How am Ah s'pposed ta clean mahself?" she asked rhetorically.
