Kitsune-Tenshi-16: Great suggestion! I'll keep that in mind! And thanks for not killing me!
Phenomenon: I knew you were kidding, I figured you might give me some elaborate explanation. (I was trying to joke back, I guess it didn't work) And I will lighten the characters a little, but my other story keeps it lighters as a whole.
Blu-babe: good I'm glad you like it.

Dragmist7: Thank you that is a very nice comment, I appreciate it. I ask for suggestions cause I can usually take a simple idea and elaborate on it like crazy, like in my other story. Thanks again!
Twilight2D: Thank you SO much! I didn't think it would be original BECAUSE every girl can relate but the reviews I have received seem to say otherwise…
Uber-pissed: Thank you much! I'm glad it's such an eye catcher! I am sorry it took so long, I had softball tryouts this week and I have tons of projects due next week, and I probably should be doing homework now, but since you asked so nicely, here ya go…
The-Wind-Dragon-Caller: Naw no offense taken, I always appreciate suggestions! I wouldn't take offense to something like that, and I'm sorry if I worried you over that. I will add fluffiness, but I just am not the type of girl who writes lemons… so give me a smile and don't worry about it! The supplies will be entertaining to say the least!
ANNOUNCEMENT: I wrote this in the other story as well… I have Softball starting and I therefore apologize if I am unable to update as often… so sorry…
Once a Month
Chapter 6
Supplies
&&&&
The group arrived at the Bone Eater's well be mid afternoon, Inuyasha had changed to carrying Kagome bridal style shortly after beginning the journey home, (think about it).
When they had finally stopped he set her down, Kilala landed and Miroku and Sango took the supplies and started heading towards the village. Before they left Kagome pulled Sango aside, "I am gonna head home and get the supplies and bring them back for us. Tonight I can show you how they work and then Inuyasha and Shippo should have a much easier time standing the both of us."
"But the blood-"
"They won't be able to smell it."
"How?"
"You will see… I will be back soon, ok?"
"Ok Kagome-chan, bye."
Inuyasha had heard the conversation and approached the miko, "Where do you think your going?"
Kagome smiled, "You can come if you want Inuyasha, I'm just going to get some supplies."
"And this will be a short trip?"
"Of course, not to mention it will make things much easier for you and the other demons."
"Really now?"
"Yeah."
Kagome waved good bye to her other friends as they headed towards Kaede's hut, and she took Inuyasha's hand and jumped through the well, becoming engulfed with the weightlessness and blue light that always came with the time traveling. They landed softly and Inuyasha pulled her close, jumping in one swift motion out of the well. They exited the well house and were greeted by Souta and Kagome's grandfather.
"Welcome back Kagome."
"Yay! She brought Inu-no-nichan!"
"What's with the weird Kimono Kagome?"
She smiled at he elderly man, "I needed to change into something… um-"
"She is ble-" Kagome quickly covered Inuyasha's mouth and dragged him towards the house, whispering harshly, "Thanks for letting the ENTIRE world know!"
"But-"
"But NOTHING, there are only certain people who should be allowed to know THAT information!"
"Why?"
"WHY! BECAUSE it is EMBARRASING and PRIVATE you BAKA!"
They entered the house and saw Mrs. Higurashi walking out of the kitchen, smiling as usual. "Back so soon?"
Kagome removed her hand from Inuyasha's and gave her mom a hug, "Naw, I just need some 'supplies'."
Inuyasha cocked his head at the way she had been using that word, as if implying something out of the ordinary. He was only further confused when her mom nodded and said, "The pads and stuff are under the bathroom sink…" Women must have their own secret language… He heard her shut the door to the restroom and when she emerged the blood smell had vanished and she was back in her school uniform. He headed upstairs and stopped at the top of the staircase, watching her gather up two boxes, a container of pills and a Ziploc bag and put them all in a smaller version of her backpack. "That's it?"
"What's 'it'?"
"That's all you need?"
"You would be surprised how long one box can last."
"What?"
Kagome sighed and walked past him, "We can go now."
He watched the girl walk down the stairs and followed her out the door, all the fuss over two boxes and a bag? And where did the blood smell go?
Souta looked on sadly as he saw the teens heading back towards the well, "Heading back so soon?" Kagome smiled and hugged him good bye, "Yeah, sorry, we have some other things we need to take care of back in his time."
"Can he play next time?"
"Sure kid," He ruffed the boys hair and escorted the miko to the well house.
"That was nice of you, I'm impressed."
"At what?"
"Your ability to handle kids has gotten much better."
"Keh."
He put an arm around her waist and leapt into the well, heading back to his time and wondering what the big deal was with the 'supplies' the girl had for Sango and herself.
They came up the other side and walked towards Kaede's hut, as they entered they heard a heated argument start. Inuyasha groaned as he could smell the hormones of the taijya…
"I WISH you would stop doing that!" Sango yelled at the top of her lungs.
"What?"
"THAT IS IT!"
"What my dear Sango, you have never acted like this before."
Tears filled the taijya's eyes as she ran out, "DON'T SPEAK TO ME!"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and he gave a nod, "You inform the monk and I will handle Sango-chan." He nodded as she followed the crying taijya.
He stepped into the hut and found a badly bruised, dumbfounded monk who sat dazed, going over what happened. Inuyasha sat in front of him and asked, "So, where Shippo and Kilala?"
"They left to play shortly after you two went to Kagome's time."
"They were the smart ones."
"Thanks." The monk said in a rejected voice.
"Oi, there is something you need to know about girls."
Miroku looked up with an entertained sparkle in his eyes, "and YOU know something about girls that I don't?"
"…"
"So what is it that YOU see to know-"
"It has to do with their PERIOD! NOT their-"
"Ooo, getting all defensive are we now, after having one night with Kagome-"
"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"
"Uh huh, SUUURE."
"WE DIDN'T!"
"I believe you."
"GRRRRRRRRR."
They both sat in silence before Inuyasha had calmed himself enough to speak, "Girls get what Kagome calls, 'hormonal highs' right before their period."
"And I care why?"
"Have you HONESTLY ever seen Sango cry like she did just now?"
"No, especially when I was just-"
"Please don't tell me I DON'T want to know."
"Fine but-"
"No, JUST hear me out… Those 'hormones' cause serious mood swings in the girls, causing them go from happy to tears in an instant."
"Really, and you know this how?"
"Kagome told me."
"mmmm…"
"So just leave Sango alone for a little while and she won't kill you, or break down… again."
"Gotcha."
The boys sat in silence again, and Miroku couldn't help but ask, "So, did Kagome explain her 'supplies'."
"No, but I intend to find out."
"Shall we have a look in her pack later?"
"Why not, it can't be THAT bad."
(boy are they in for a treat)
&&&&
Kagome came up and sat next to the crying taijya, putting an arm around her for comfort, "There, there, I've got something for you."
Sango looked up and saw the girl hand her a tissue, blowing into it miserably she looked for a place to put it. Kagome pulled out her Ziploc bag and opened it, allowing the girl to deposit it. She also pulled out the supplies and set them next to the girl. "Now the pads are pretty self explanatory, but the directions for the tampons are in the box. Now, I need to go change mine, so I will be right back." She opened the box and took one out, taking the Ziploc bag and heading into the woods for privacy. Sango looked over the directions and couldn't decide whether to be amazed or disgusted. Kagome returned and Sango saw the used tampon in the sealed bag and cringed, "Does it hurt?"
"Not at all, and it doesn't allow the blood out so our friends won't have to smell it."
"Well I haven't started yet, but when I do I will try them."
"Good, start with a medium size first, see how they feel, and if you need to change them often we can give you larger size…"
"Um, ok."
The girls headed back to the hut, and upon entering received a warm welcome by Kaede, "You two ready for dinner?" They nodded gratefully as they received the stew. By this time Kilala and Shippo had returned and were eating as well. Miroku had finished, so he just sat in the corner and kept his mouth shut. Inuyasha had joined Kagome and finished what she couldn't eat. Shippo hopped into her lap and sniffed, "Your 'period go away?"
She smiled down at the kit, "no I just made it so you couldn't smell it."
The kit looked at her curiously, "How?"
"Lets just say I'm not letting any of the blood escape."
This comment made all the other companions curious, but judging by the look on her face she wasn't about to explain further. So they ate in silence and Sango went to bed as soon as she was finished, giving every one a touch me, and you die look before drifting off to sleep in the corner. Miroku sighed defeatedly and went to sleep himself, Kilala and Shippo curled up by the fire and Inuyasha stood up to leave.
Kagome saw him getting up and asked, "You leaving?"
He stopped and turned to her, "I'll be outside, I prefer to sleep in trees you kn-" He saw the look on her face, the pleading eyes, he sighed and sat down next to her, "I'll stay if you really want me to."
She looked at him, overjoyed. She quickly unrolled her sleeping bag and opened it, but instead of crawling inside she opened it all the way and sat on it, patting the spot next to her and looking up at him shyly. He looked confused as he sat down next to her. They sat in silence until she yawned sleepily, laying down and propping her head on a hand, looking up to him expectantly. By now the poor hanyou was so confused he wasn't sure what to do next.
Seeing that he wasn't going anywhere fast she sat back up to a kneeling position and faced him, "You gonna sleep tonight?"
"You know I don't need very much sleep."
"Yeah, but a little extra rest never hurt anybody, and we still have to decide if we want to go back to the hot spring."
He realized that at this point they were nose to nose and her voice had lowered, almost to a whisper. Her breath on his face sending shivers down his spine. She knew she had him entranced, as she moved to distance herself he followed her, she leaned back against the sleeping bag and he followed her every move, stretching himself out beside her, and looking for his opening to give her what she herself had been longing for. He was so entranced by the girl that he didn't realize what he was about to do, he suddenly snapped out of it and moved to get up when he felt a hand on his haori, "Don't go." She whispered.
He was torn, not knowing if he could contain himself. Last time the smell of her blood had stopped him, but now her power over him was astounding, he couldn't leave her. So he lay face up, staring at the ceiling, waiting to see what she would do.
Happy that he hadn't left her, she moved beside him and placed her head on his chest, partially draping herself over the hanyou, and putting an arm around him comfortingly. She didn't dare move any farther, not only because she didn't know how much more she could stand, but also she was waiting for a reaction from the seemingly stunned boy before her. She kept her legs away, knowing the hanyou could easily be pushed over the line that she herself was flirting with.
Inuyasha felt tingles of delight burst all over his side and across where Kagome had her arm. He was amazed at her move and how very upfront it seemed. He also knew that he could have a very interesting morning if a certain monk woke before he did. Finally he made the decision that he didn't care and turned to face Kagome, pulling her close and falling asleep, once again looking forward not to his dreams, but to waking up and seeing her right where she belonged, with him.
Kagome felt him shift and pull her close, causing an involuntary shiver to run up and down her entire body, she snuggled further into his embrace and welcomed the darkness and warmth that overcame her.

So much for keeping it a humor. Well if I don't get to my homework soon my dad's gonna kill me, not to mention that I will spend the rest of the week without sleep, trying to finish the 3 projects and countless assignments. DUDE the IB program SUCKS! WAY too much homework… any who. What will the morning bring for the gang, and what will the guys think when they discover the world of tampons. (grins evilly) See ya!
