Thanks for reading and please leave a review. Have a nice day.


Nervously, Ashi walks into town. Jack is with her, so it isn't so bad, but she still wishes they stayed in the hotel room instead.

They have been trying to find Jack's sword so they could defeat that damned demon, Aku himself. It had been four days ago when they found the small town called Widowland. Jack had apparently helped these people before, fourteen years ago. Many high school girls came to great him, although they avoided her, and invited him to a thing called "prom" once again, leaving Ashi out. Jack said he would go and when the girls asked who he would take with him Jack out of nervousness, claimed Ashi would. This greatly upsetted the girls and began targeting with Ashi cruelty. They tripped her, put substances in her hair, calling her names like slut and making up two rumors. That Ashi once was some kind of "erotic nature dancer" and Jack was her so-called "sugar daddy". Ashi doesn't know what either means, but knows she doesn't want to. You may be wondering why Ashi hasn't kicked their asses yet, there is a reason. That reason is, Ashi doesn't want to hurt them. Sure they're horrible, but still innocent to some degree. So she brushes it off, sometimes it works, sometimes, like now, it doesn't.

She and Jack walked close together, Jack doesn't know Ashi is being bullied by high school girls. She wouldn't know what to say or how he'll react. They walked silently, Ashi grew slightly sweaty when she saw her tormentors. They looked at her and giggled. Ashi knew something was wrong. What was it? What was wrong? Why were they looking at her like that? If only Jack and Ashi noticed the blood running down her thighs.

"Per-iod!" A girl with golden red hair catcalled.

(what?)

The chant was louder now and done by more girls. "PER-IOD! PER-IOD! PER-IOD!"

(are they talking to me?)

"Hey, Leaf Dancer!" A girl called out. "You're on your period! Clean up!"

"Period?" Ashi asked, rather confused, Jack was as well.

"What is a period?" He asked.

"Come on, Leaf Dance! It's so gross!" A blonde haired girl said as dime sized drops of blood fell on the concrete.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Ashi said, slightly annoyed.

Jack took a glance down and turned red as soon as he found out what it was.

"Um, Ashi-"

"Do we need to say it straight?!" Cried the red haired girl. "You're bleeding you stupid fucking cunt!"

Ashi looked down.

(how did i get wounded down there?)

Ashi backed up in suprise. She quickly calmed.

"I think you're all confused, it's a flesh wound."

"No it isn't! It's period blood, bitch!" A brunette laughed.

"Stop saying such vulgarity to my friend!" Jack yelled.

Just as Jack finished speaking, everyone silenced, the red haired girl ran behind a tree.

"Ashi," Jack started. "This is no flesh wound, it's... something else?"

"What is it?"

"Well the term "period" seems to be slang for what is currently happening to you-"

Jack felt someone throw something at his head when he turned to look his heart almost stopped.

A tampon still in wrapping.

The red haired girl, called 'Kathy' had thrown it at him. She came out of the tree.

"Come on girls!" Kathy cheered. "Let's teach them a lesson!" She threw a unused, tampon at Ashi.

It was a mad house.

Everyone threw tampons and sanitary napkins, at them while laughing and screaming with joy. Jack and Ashi tried to escape, they couldn't move. No one was keeping them down, but it felt as though they were restraint by an invisible force. No matter how much they moved, they couldn't escape.

"Hey, hey, hey! What is going on here?!" A teacher walked out and saw the madness.

The girls stopped in horror, Jack and Ashi could move again.

"What the hell are you girls doing!" The teacher yelled. "This man helped and saved us! And his friend seems kind and helpful! Why did you do that?!"

"Mrs. White" the brunette girl said nervously "I had no control over that..."

"What do you mean no control?! I saw you throw stuff with the rest of them!"

"Yeah, it felt forced." A girl with one blue eye and one green eye said. She looked to Jack. "I am so, so sorry! I had almost no control!"

"Oh, stop with the no control bullshit!"

As the teacher continued to yell at the students, Jack and Ashi ran off, feeling awkward about this whole situation.


"Ashi, do the girls always act like that to you?" Jack asked her, after she had cleaned up and was properly explained menstruation.

"Why?" Ashi said putting her head down some.

"Because what they are did wasn't at all right. What makes them think they can act so vile and down putting to other people."

"I don't know. But they're like this a lot, they trip me, put food in my hair and call me dirty names. I tell them to stop, but they never do and I don't want to hurt them. I just want them to stop."

"Ashi, why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you know I was being bullied by children, I mean, I didn't know what to do. So I ignored it."

Jack looked at her, feeling sorry for her. He wrapped his arms around her as she did the same.

"If that ever happens again or anything like that, please tell me. I don't want those girls to hurt you anymore."

Ashi nodded yes and held him a little tighter.

"Okay, I won't let them."
