A/N: Wow, I have been threatened with weasels, hammers, guns and knifes for this chapter. You guys really wanna see Goku bleed. Ya bunch of crazies! Umm, so okay. Here we go, this starts off exactly where we ended.
============
...
" What did you say?" Sanzo asked, perking an eyebrow at the monkey-girl. She looked up at Sanzo with a innocent look and lifted up his shorts.
" GOKU!! What did you cut yourself on!?" Gojyo shreaked.
" Nothing. I was just sitting on your bed and I noticed." Goku sighed, touching the bloodied area.
" Goku! Don't touch yourself there!" Hakkai panicked.
" Why am I bleeding Hakkai?" Goku asked, almost in a frenzy as well.
" Maybe it's a female thing." Hakkai shrugged.
" We'd figure you know what it was." Gojyo sighed.
" How do we get it to stop?" Goku asked.
" How about you get off my bed before I'm attacked by animals trying to feast off of blood coming from your--" Gojyo as interrupted by Hakkai's hand.
" Please, this is PG-13 rated." Hakkai smiled. " Let's see..."
" Didn't you study anatomy?" Sanzo asked, crossing his arms over his chest. Goku gently slid off the bed, keeping his shorts up.
" Yes, but it's been a while." Hakkai sighed.
" Maybe if I just ignore it." Goku suggested. " It could be nothing..."
" Goku!! Your personal area is bleeding! You can't ignore that! If you were a guy, this would NOT be healthy." Gojyo said, taking off the bloodstained sheets from his bed and tossing them into a corner.
" But this could be normal for girls." Goku shrugged. " Plus, it might not even be blood for sure."
" Then was is it? Chessecake?" Gojyo said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
" ..." Goku glared at the female kappa.
" How about we get you into a new pair of underwear and pajamas, we'll go to sleep and we'll see how it is tomorrow." Hakkai smiled, rushing Goku to the bathroom.
" That might work." Sanzo agreed.
" Watch us get attacked by a pack of giant mutant raccoons looking for blood." Gojyo sighed, heading to his blanketless bed.
" Gojyo..." Hakkai chuckled. " You don't have a blanket?" He asked, noticing the slightly shivering kappa.
" Nope. Stupid monkey bled all over it." He pouted. Hakkai leaned over to his blanket and placed it over Gojyo. Gojyo blinked at the emerald-eyed girl and smiled. " What about you?"
" I'll manage. I probably won't even be able to sleep with the rain." He sighed.
" No, get in." Gojyo smiled.
" Hmm?" Hakkai said in surprise.
" Get in the bed. It's okay for girls to share beds. Pretend it's like a sleep over." Gojyo grinned. " We'll tell each other secrets and brag about who we like!"
" Ha, sounds like fun." Hakkai smiled, sliding into bed next to the kappa.
" There! New underwear!" Goku chimed, walking into the room, wearing nothing but his panties and his undershirt.
" Goku! Fuck, get some pants on!" Sanzo yelled.
" But the only ones I have are from when I was a boy and they don't fit around the waist." Goku whined.
" Fine, whatever." Sanzo growled, rolling over so he could sleep.
" Turn off the light before you go to bed Goku." Gojyo said, putting his arm around Hakkai's waist loosely.
" Right, I'd better not hear any making out noises." Goku grinned as he turned off the light. After a few moments, the usual snores from Goku started to emerge, they weren't as loud, but annoying none the less. And that went on the whole night. Goku woke up with a smile on his face, while the others woke up with light purple circles under their eyes and a smell of fresh blood in the air.
" Has someone been killed?" Sanzo asked.
" The mutant raccoons got Goku!" Gojyo teased, getting a soft nudge from Hakkai.
" Hey guys! It's morning." Goku said, rolling over off the bed, from his knees up was drenched in half-dry blood and small traces on his arms.
" AHHH! GOKU'S A ZOMBIE!!!" Gojyo screamed, huddling behind Hakkai.
" AHH! I'm a zombie!!" Goku yelled, looking down at his blood stained legs.
" Goddamn it, you're still bleeding!" Sanzo yelled.
" I know!!" Goku yelled.
" He won't stop!" Gojyo yelled, noticing another gush of blood trickling down his inner thigh. " It's like inhuman for somebody to bleed this much!"
" I don't know what to do! I guess we can clean him up and use some gauze to put inside the lining of his underwear and maybe that migh slow it down." Hakkai said, coming up with a temporary solution.
" That might work. We'll try a store and see if we can find out what is going on." Sanzo said, leading a saddened Goku into the bathroom again.
" I almost feel bad for the kid. It must be embarassing." Gojyo sighed, picking up a cigarette.
" Cigarettes will give you wrinkles." Hakkai smiled, giving Gojyo a look. Gojyo sighed and put the cancer stick down dissapointingly.
" Damn you." Gojyo said, extending his foot, touching Hakkai's smooth lower leg. " You shave your legs?" Gojyo asked, looking at the mildly flustered Hakkai.
" Sometimes. Problem?"
" No. It'd be pretty nasty if you didn't." Gojyo laughed. " I mean, it wouldn't be if you were a guy, but as a girl it is for some reason. Get it?"
" Yeah." Hakkai nodded. Gojyo looked at Hakkai, almost shyly.
" Mmmm." Gojyo hummed.
" Mmmm." Hakkai hummed. Gojyo looked at Hakkai again and quickly kissed him on the cheek.
" Friendly girl kiss." Gojyo smiled.
" R-Right." Hakkai flushed as Sanzo and Goku came out of the bathroom.
" Come on, let's go find out what's going on with Goku." Sanzo said, as the others changed into comfortable cotton pants and tank tops they got on sale at the last town. Goku clenched Sanzo's arm in embarassment, not wanting the blood stains to seep through to his newly clean cotton shorts.
" Don't worry." Sanzo started. " If it starts to show, I have an old jacket of mine you can put around your waist." Sanzo said, not making eye contact with Goku.
" Thanks Sanzo." Goku smiled.
" Awwww, amazing how blood brings people together." Gojyo grinned.
" SHUT UP!" Goku yelled, kicking Gojyo's shin.
" Ah, shit, now I'm gonna have a bruse." Gojyo growled.
" Good! Stupid female big breasted kappa!" Goku yelled.
" At least I am not bleeding all over the place!" Gojyo hissed.
" Yeah but you walk like you have a stick up your ass." Goku hissed back.
" Why does everybody say that?"
" It's only mildly true Gojyo." Hakkai smiled.
" I don't want it to be true at all! Who's side are you on anyway?" Gojyo whined, poking Hakkai's shoulder.
" Nobody's side, honestly." Hakkai smiled.
[Inside the doctors's office]
" She's just on her period." The doctor said instantly as the guys-turned-girls walked into his office.
" Oh, of course! We were so startled to totally forgot!" Sanzo laughed girlishly.
" I'll give you some free pads for the girl. It's obviously her first time. She'd be getting it around this age anyway." The doctor smiled, petting Goku on the head.
" Right, so I put these in my underwear?" Goku asked.
" Yes." He nodded.
" Hmmm, okay." Goku smiled.
" There that wasn't so bad sis, now let's go home." Gojyo smiled, putting his hand on Goku's shoulder.
" You ladies have a good day." The doctor smiled.
" We will!" Hakkai laughed. They walked back to their inn and Goku went into the bathroom to try out his new pads. Three minutes later, the monkey-girl came out, his dress lifted.
" There!" He smiled.
" Goku..." Hakkai sighed, rubbing his temples.
" I don't think that's how you wear them." Sanzo sighed.
" I put them on like he said." Goku said cheerfully.
" Not all 20 of them stuffed in your underwear, you stupid monkey!" Gojyo yelled.
Silence...
