That Time of The Month
Inu-Yasha Discovers ? Challenge Fic
Kagome sat under a tree eating a peach when the unbearable pain started to snake it's way through her lower stomach, like something was burrowing through her organs. She bent over in pain holding her lower stomach, in hopes that it would pass quickly because she had left her Midol at home. Inu-Yasha stared at her from a tree watching her eat when suddenly she keeled over in pain! He could smell the familiar salty water that always lingered in the air when she cried, and he panicked. Inu-Yasha jumped out of the tree with out making a sound and landed next to her to find out what had hurt her.
"Kagome what's the matter, did something hurt you?" Inu-Yasha said hastily, looking around. He hadn't seen any thing.
"Just my stomach leave me alone." Kagome mumbled against the pain trying to fight the tears.
Inu-Yasha sensed a faint smell of blood on her almost unnoticeable. If he were standing any farther away he wouldn't even have smelled it, it was covered by another scent, a lightly floral scent. The blood didn't smell like wounded, fresh blood. It smelled slightly old, with a bit of a spicy scent, just enough to make itself known. A background scent that didn't present itself like some of her other perfumes, but something you had to look for to find. Inu-Yasha found this scent to be pleasing to his senses, but what was causing her so much pain?
Sango
emerged from Kaede-babaa's hut . The gang was back at Musashi's Domain for
Naraku had not been detected, and other youkais were not messing up with them.
"Ah, Kagome-chan, it's 'that' isn't it?", Sango chimed in. Kagome
nodded. "Can you walk?", she asked again. Kagome groaned. Her
face showed tormenting pain she was experiencing. "Um..Sango, what's with
her?" Inu Yasha asked, cluelessly. Sango gave our dog-boy a 'you better not
know this at all' look. "UURRHH.." Kagome groaned again. "S-s-Sango-chan..please
ask Inu-Yasha to go through the well to get a pain killer".
Pain Killer?
Stomach pain?
Blood Scent?
"Kagome, there's a youkai inside your
body!!!" cried Inu Yasha, panickly. Kagome and Sango fell, comical-style.
He raised Tetsusaiga. "Hang on. I'll get it for you!!!" . Angrily,
Kagome 'sitted' him and told him to keep his sword in its rusty sword form plus,
she told him to get the pain killers immediately. But Inu Yasha wouldn't
budge an inch. Sango helplessly looked at him. "Yes, Inu Yasha?", she
asked. Inu Yasha put up a threatening smirk to Sango. "No I won't
.Unless.., you tell me what's going on in Kagome's body". Sango looked at
Kagome's tortured look. Her veins start to pop then she kick Inu as she screamed ,"GO !" .
Inu Yasha flew through the air and dropped on the Bone-Eaters' Well. "That
wench..", he growled, as he landed on the soft grounds in the well
"I'm gonna get her on one of these days.." He climbed up the well. He
opened the doors of the mini-shrine and started to walk to the house. Before he
entered the house, Mrs. Higurashi spotted him. She was carrying laundries and
bit the laundries's clamps for her hand was both holding the laundry basket. She
smiled at the sight of Inu Yasha. She putted down the laundry basket, removed
all the clamps and greeted him, "Good Morning, Inu Yasha." Inu greeted
back politely, "Good morning, ma'am."
"Will you help me? We
can talk things too." she asked him. "I'm in a hurry, ma'am, your daughter asked me to
get her some ..pain
killers?", he explained. Kagome's mom winced. "Is it her time of the
month?", she asked. Inu Yasha stared at her cluelessly. After a few moments
of silence, she sighed, "Help me with these laundries"
10 minutes later in the backyard...
"Young man, please pass
the last cloth there." Mrs Higurashi asked. She was drying the laundries.
Inu Yasha picked a panty. It was
kind of bloody. He sniffed at it. The same old blood scent! The same smell he
liked! He stared at it. Mrs. Higurashi looked at him. "Ohh, Kagome's not
washing these properly!", she groaned. "What's this blood stain,
ma'am? Is she suffering from some sort of disease?" Inu Yasha asked. Mrs.
Higurashi sighed again. "You said you already knew what happened between
men and women." Inu Yasha protested, "Then how am I f*ckin'
supposed to know what happened in women's body?" Mrs Higurashi was
startled. "Didn't your mother tell you?" Inu explained, "Feh, My
mum died when I was a little boy." Mrs. Higurashi sat next to him. "If
you already know how babies are made, what do you think happened to the women
who didn't mate any men in the end of her fertile month?" Inu Yasha raised
his eyebrow. "Nothing, ma'am?"
"No. In the end of her fertile
months, her eggs started to rot. If the rotten eggs weren't dumped out, the new
eggs won't have enough space in the womb. And also, if a rotten womb wasn't
thrown out, a more fresh wound couldn't be made. So those rotten eggs along with
the unused womb must be dumped out of the body. As the womb was rotten you smelt
them as old bloods like you told me before. Some women like Kagome and me cannot
bear the pain of getting those womb and eggs out of the body. It's really like
hell. It's as if you were pinched by a hundred of needles and stabbed by a knife
at the same time. That's why those
pain killers were created." she said as she pointed a packet of Midol in
his hands. "You mean its very painful, ma'am?" he asked as he
remembered Kagome's expression some minutes before. He felt a little bit guilty
for letting her suffer like that. Mrs. Higurashi nodded, vigorously "So ,do.." Mrs. Higurashi stopped in
mid-sentence. Inu Yasha was gone. She grumbled. "What a rude young
dog-demon." After some minutes or so she smiled ."But.... he does care for her so
much.."
Back in Musashi's Domain
After a few minutes Kagome drank the medicine, she was better. She gave some tablet to Sango for her next time of the month. Inu Yasha was sitting at the tree, staring at her. She smiled and walked to the tree. "Thank you Inu Yasha.", she thanked him. Inu flushed a bit. "Sorry", he said. Kagome raised her eyebrow. "I don't know that women has to got through a pain like that." Kagome was startled. He knew? she thought ."That's okay Inu Yasha," she reassured. Inu Yasha dropped from the tree. He held her hands and they both, together with Sango entered Kaede-babaa's hut. Unknown to them, Kagome has dropped one tablet in the ground.
"Yessh, I could use this to poison Naraku...," whispered a dark figure in victory
End
Notes:
Who is that mysterious figure? Will Naraku be killed? Or will Naraku turned to be a female after drinking the Midol? Hehehe use your own imagination.
