Bath problems.
Orochimaru has decided their cats are too filthy to ignore so today was going to be bath day. But there’s one problem, Milk hates baths but all the other cats love it. So they’re going to need some extra help, but who wants to help bath five cats?
Tsunade has never let them down so it looks like they need to pay her a visit.
“Hey Tsunade so how do you feel about helping me bath all my cats?”
“You want me to what?”
“Help me bath my cats.”
“It’s six in the goddamn morning and you want me to go risk getting my eyes scratched out?”
“Well I don’t think you’ll get your eyes scratched out.”
“Ya what ever but you owe me a night of free drinks.”
“We’ll see about that.”

“Ok so who are we going to start with.” They had just gotten back to Oro’s apartment and were planning which cat was gonna be first to go in the bath.
“Well I think we should bath the dirtiest ones last ,right hime.”
“Ya it seems more logical. So I’m guessing we should bath the siamese first and the brown one last.”
“Alright, Moca come here hun.” After Tsunade heard that nickname she burst out laughing.
“Hun? Why did you call him hun?”
She managed to get out in between laughing.
“Well why not, I think it’s cute?”
Orochi seemed thoroughly confused about Thunades out burst.
“Can you stop laughing so we can bath these cats?”
“Ya ya sorry it’s just you never call anyone or anything cute little nicknames. Now let’s get this over with.”

After they bathed most of the cats it was finally Milk’s turn and she was not happy about it.
The second she touched the water she latched onto Orochimaru’s arm and started scratching.
“Damn, Oro that thing’s really got a grip on you!” Tsunade didn’t want to be the cat’s next victim so she took a few steps back and grabbed a towel from the linen closet for extra protection.
“It’s ok Hime she would never ACTUALLY hurt me.”Tsunade didn’t buy it on bit considering the cat had a death grip on Oro’s arm.
“Bitch that thing is shredding your arm up! What do you mean she would never actually hurt you?!”
“Well she still loves me, she’s just scared.”
“Ok what ever” Tsunade rolled her eyes and started to help Orochimaru clean their feline friend.

After awhile they finally finished bathing all the cats but they were both completely exhausted and covered in cat scratches.
As Tsunade healed the cuts on her arms and legs, Orochimaru looks at themselves in the mirror well inspecting their scratch marks.
“Well that went well.” Orochimaru looked over at Tsunade as she spoke with her voice filled with sarcasm.
“It could have been worse. Have you seen the damage cats can do? It can get pretty nasty.” They grab a few towels then walk over to the cats that rest on the couch and lick themselves dry.
Tsunade watches from her spot on the bathroom counter as Orochimaru walked over to the small fluffy gray cat that she recognized as Felix, then put all but one towel down so they could wrap the furry creature in it and dry him.
Felix put up little of a fight as he was picked up and dried. Once Orochimaru had him mostly dry they put the dirty towel on the coffee table and grabbed one of the clean ones that were neatly folded on the arm of the coach then moved over to Oscar a big brown long haired cat.
They picked the cat up with ease then sat down to start drying him.
After they had dried all the cats Orochimaru and Tsunade flopped on to the couch.
Tsunade was thinking about going to the bar and dragging Orochimaru with her. Orochimaru however was thinking back to yesterday when Sakumo had asked them to meet him at their favourite lake in the forest.
“Hey Tsunade? What do you think of Hatake Sakumo? He asked me to meet him at my favourite lake on Wednesday and I’m not sure if I should go.” They had a small bit of hesitation in their tone but almost immediately lost it as they looked over to the girl next to them.
“Aww. It seems that someone might have a crush on you!” Tsunade had high pitched happiness in her voice as she spoke to the snake summoner. Orochimaru shot up into a sitting position at her words then snapped their head to look over at the blonde laying next to them.
“Wait what? No I don’t like him like that! I barely tolerate him and his idiocy.” Tsunade looked up at Orochimaru with a raised eyebrow then after a moment they understood.
“Oh….You’re saying he loves me.” Tsunade nodded in confirmation then rolled over declaring she was going to stay the night and she was going to sleep immediately.
Orochimaru went back to their room and lied down on their bed staring at the ceiling thinking about how Tsunade had never even answered their question.
In the end they shrugged it off and decided they’d meet with Sakumo at the lake on Wednesday. Hopefully they won’t regret this later.
