How to Catch a Kitsune

Chapter 3: Bathing

"Your majesty!"

She's just lying on the floor on her side covered in the jacket that i lent her yesterday. What the heckie happened here while i was gone? I drop the flashlight, rush over to her and put her leveled to the ground.

"Your majesty, wake up!"

Dammit, is this because of the fight that we had yesterday? She has been a shut in for 3 thousand years now, so i don't think this isn't a possibility. I try to shake Amaterasu in the hopes of waking her up somehow.

"Your majesty, please wake up! Your majesty! Your ma-"

SMACK

Suddenly, her hand suddenly went straight for my face and hit me square on the nose.

"Ow! What the? Ow!"

Amaterasu pulls herself up on her knees and stretches her arms.

"Hnngggggggggggggg! Hahhh... Now would you kindly explain to me why you were violently shaking me while i was asleep?"

"Oh, that, uh. Well you see, umm.. your majesty. I uh... thought you were dead"

"Me? Dead? What in the world happened to you to make you think that?"

"Well, you did look kinda spent when you tried attacking me yesterday. It wouldn't be surprising if you died of exhaustion"

"What? Do you actually think i am capable of dying from mere exhaustion?"

"Umm. well i uhh... No... I just thought that you being shut in for 3 thousand years have affected you in some way" Well, i guess it makes sense that she's still okay. She is a deity after all.

"Please. I am not that fragile as to be weakened by 3 thousand years of inactivity!"

"Well from the events of yesterday, it seemed like it did affect you"

"S-shut up! I only attacked you since i didn't expect a human to suddenly enter my room! Since i'm now expecting you, i don't need to attack you anymore"

"Not what i meant, but okay"

"Also, this clothing you gave me feels weird. It feels soft, but at the same time it doesn't feel like normal fabric" She says as she thoroughly inspects the jacket i gave her.

"Ah. The material's Polyester"

"Poly-what?"

"Don't mind it too much. By the way your majesty, why are you sleeping on the floor? Don't you have a bed right there?"

"What? Do you expect me to actually sleep on that?"

"Why? What's wrong with it?" I walk over to her bed to see what's wrong with it. I push away the ripped cloths covering her bed and i see... Nothing. Nothing at all. Not nothing in the sense that i don't see anything wrong, i mean that there's no bed at all. The bed is gone, and the only thing that's left is this mushy cloth-like material. I turn back to Amaterasu.

"Umm, your majesty? Can you please explain to me why your bed doesn't exist anymore?"

"Why should i answer that and why should i answer you?"

"Your majesty, please remember who's in charge right now"

She looks away from me. I don't know if it is from embarrassment or something else, but clearly she's not happy.

"Wow that's a huge mess. Looks like i'll need to send another request to him for a bed" I take out a pen and paper out of my dimensional storage, write in the words 'Request for a bed. Deliver in an hour', and throw it through a portal where it will hopefully land on Cu Chulainn's head.
