A/N: 200 words. My answer to the "Inuyasha can smell Kagome's time of the month" plot. He reacts to it like any other guy would...

JUST ANOTHER ARGUMENT

A particularly nasty argument was in progress. Kagome couldn't even remember how it started.

"What the hell is your problem?" Inuyasha finally snapped. "Is it that time of month or something?"

"No! It's not!'" Kagome exclaimed. "And don't tell me that the mighty Inuyasha can't even tell when I'm on my period!"

"Of course I can tell when you're on your…'period!'" he finished awkwardly. "And you're not. But you're sure as hell acting like it!!"

"That's right, I'm not! Wait—you know when I'm…ah, when it's that time of month?"

"I can smell blood like a mile away, Kagome! You think I wouldn't notice it when you're standing right next to me?"

Kagome was sure that she had turned bright red by now, and the face she was making probably wasn't helping. She didn't want to know that Inuyasha had always known. It just…didn't seem right.

"Hey, Kagome?" he was saying. "What's with you?"

"You know!" was all she could exclaim.

"So? That shit happens if you're a girl. What's the big deal?"

Was there a big deal? "I don't know! Never mind! And oh yeah," she said, remembering, "I did see you and Kikyou!"

And the argument continued unaffected.
