Time of The Month
Chapter 1-The Woos of The Feudal Era
Life in the Feudal Era. Back in those days, you didn't have pollution that took over the air with its gasoline, coal clouds puffing up into the atmosphere, blocking the birds direction eventually causing them to either a.) fly into the engine of a plane or b.) slam right into a window of a plane. Then there's good old oil. You know the million gallons that keeps pouring into our ocean. What, every 30 seconds or so? Either or in the Feudal Era you didn't have to worry about all those technological negativities of the future. It's just you and mother nature, no neighbors for centuries.
Speaking of mother nature, instead of being a pleasant display of land for a fat mortgage hungry house with loads of insurance policies, it's appreciated. If you need to go to the store, look to your left for the vegetables, look to your right for the fruit, then look straight ahead for your dairy and meat.
Oh and guess where your backyard and front lawn is located? Hell it's all around you! Go ahead and just walk, there's no fence, guard dog, or senile elderly person screaming at you through their screen door. No one owns the land except for the flowers that grow on it.
It's all there for the taking.
You don't have to pay for your clothes, simply find the materials you need such as wool or cotton, thread, and a needle. A few finger cramps, and a cup of water later and you have a new outfit to your wardrobe. Easy right? No lines, credit card debt, or loose change. What heaven!
Get this. Weight wasn't that big of an issue. Low-carb diet, California Diet, Weight Watchers, presto chango, no such thing. I mean of course being obese was never an attractive thing unless you were, say a bear-youkai. Besides that, a little junk in the trunk was essential for child bearing. Hips, Thunder thighs, a little cushion on the stomach, was what the men wanted. It was okay to have seconds, ladies.
Now everything sounds great so far right? A Go Green world with men that liked thick women. Well, damn why don't we live in that time? I'll tell you why. Feminine Products. You know when a girl at the age of 10 to 16 [lucky ducks] gets their first menstrual cycle a.k.a The Curse, Period, Time of the Month; and she starts to bleed from 3 days to a week? It turns out that tampons, moon cups, and even the reliable first pad wasn't available. You would stay home till you were finished without any drugs to will away the symptoms. But if you were lucky you were given a rag. Yes, ladies I said a rag. A thin low absorbency cloth that you can find on your kitchen sink would be doing the job of the 3 helpful tools named above. Doesn't sound like a happy period to me, how about you?
I shuttered at the thought of it when I found out in school one day. Can I get an eww?
Honestly, can you imagine what Kagome had to go through when she entered the Feudal world and all Kaede gave her was a rag? I can and I'll tell you just how it went. It's a funny tale!
A/N: Next Chapter: "But I Need Them!" Will be up tomorrow afternoon. Believe me or not but this is a Miroku and Sango fanfiction pairing
