Inutori: Thank you for the tip! And I agree with you somewhat, but I am an athletic girl myself and I know for a fact that I have gotten some pretty nasty cramps, so like you said, it varies from girl to girl…

Once a Month
Chapter 9
The Demonstration
&&&&
Inuyasha paled to a crimson white as he looked at the grotesque sight in the bag. Shippo and Miroku were shocked as well, but they were still in the dark as to what the bag contained. The hanyou had recalled where Sango told him the tampons went and nearly fainted at the sight. The bag contained several used tampons, tissues and a mass of blood that had escaped the cotton items.
It was at this moment that the girls had decided to check on their male companions, and invite them to join them in the hot spring. Kagome came through the bushes in her tank top swimming suit and towel wrapped around her waist. She saw the monk holding the bag high in the air, turning it around and studying the contents, Inuyasha looked as if he were about to faint and the little kit looked over to her and immediately pointed at the others. "They started it! I just walked in!"
Sango came up behind her and saw the guys and rushed over, grabbing the bag and stuffing it back into the back, standing up she roared, "WHAT IN SEVEN HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!"
Inuyasha just pointed at the monk and Miroku just smiled, "Just wondering what you had in there."
If looks could kill, Miroku would've been burnt to a crisp, not once but twice… by the two girls. He laughed nervously and made a move to stand, "SIT!"
"OUCH!"
"Oops, well you deserved it too!"
"He was the one-"
"But you joined him."
"Keh."
Miroku was now forced to stay down with the girls hands on his shoulders, but his mind was now filled with questions that now HAD to be answered, he looked up and the fiery females holding him down, "Please don't kill me but-"
"Oh don't worry we won't kill you, but we may come close."
"No I just want-"
Suddenly from nowhere a huge gust of wind picked up and a whirlwind came to a stop right in front of Kagome. Kouga immediately looked at Inuyasha who was now growling fiercely, "Where is MY woman, and how did you let her get so fcking injured."
"Uh, hi Kouga-kun."
He turned and looked at surprised the miko, surprised that she looked perfectly fine, he circled her, eyeing her up and down, checking for injuries of any sort. "What? But this place is filled with the scent of your blood."
Kagome laughed nervously, feeling very exposed from the first few days… Miroku picked up the bag once again, "I think the answers lie in here."
Kouga plucked the bag from the monks hand and looked at it, he stupidly fingered the seal and opened it, absolutely blown away by the concentrated smell of blood that it contained.
"ICK! NASTY! What the heck is this? Why is it filled with blood? And why does it have the taijya's blood too? SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE!"
The girls and the hanyou were all very pale now, the poor hanyou felt sick to his stomach with the smell of blood. Kagome quickly resealed the bag and set it down in the pack, "If anyone touches this again, so help me I will-"
"Kagome-chan I think we should tell them."
The miko looked at Sango in shock, but then nodded her head in agreement while letting out a defeated sigh, "Fine."
She and Sango sat down next to each other, somewhat away from the group of men. Kagome knew it had to be done, so she calmed herself and prepared for the worst. Shippo walked over and took a place in Kagome's lap and looked up at her curiously. She picked up the bag and held it to the side. The miko couldn't help but smile at the innocent kit.
"You wanted to know how we were masking the scent, well… that was it. We never let the blood get out of us."
"You are bleeding?"
She looked up at the wolf, "Uh Kouga… do the women in your tribe… do they-?"
"Is that what this is all about?"
"He he… uh… yeah."
"Thank Kami, I thought mutt face here had let you get injured in a battle."
The hanyou let out a vicious growl and Kagome silenced him with a glare. He sat back and muttered under his breath. Sango took the lead, "Well, what do you think you know and we can fill in the details. If you have no clue, we will just answer your questions."
Kagome looked at her and they both nodded, awaiting a barrage of questions…
Miroku looked at the bag and back to her, "What are those? And what do they do? I saw the box, but-"
"Ugh, I can't believe I have to explain this… we never let the blood out…"
Miroku paled, "You mean you put these in?"
"Yep."
"How?"
Kagome hit her forehead, "I think the best way to explain is to show you."
Sango reeled, looking at her friend, "You can't be serious!"
Kagome looked at the monk, "Toss me a water bottle and the box"
The taijya let out a sigh of relief as she realized what the miko was going to do. Miroku tossed a water bottle to the taijya and the box to Kagome, each caught them and the miko pulled out a small tampon, unwrapping it. The wolf was utterly confused by now, but watched in fascination as he saw all these strange things from her time. Pulling off the packaging she began her demonstration.
"This is the applicator, it pushes the tampon in…"
Pushing on the end she revealed it, the hanyou and monk were now stark white and the wolf was beginning to pale as well. Sango handed the miko the water bottle. She set the tampon on the ground and began to pour water on it, "It absorbs the blood and we change it out every few hours."
Thud… the monk had actually fainted! And the hanyou looked as though he were about to join him. Kagome placed the watery tampon in the bag and resealed it, "Hey you guys asked…"
The girls got up and repacked the pack, Kagome actually sighed with relief, glad she wouldn't have to explain the embarrassing subject any longer. The girls left it there and headed off towards the spring. Poor Shippo was so confused, but judging by the other male reactions he figured he didn't want to know, so he let it drop and followed the girls.

Kouga and Inuyasha just stared at the place where the tampon had lay on the ground. Watching it expand was probably one of the most grotesque experiences either had gone though. The hanyou now realized why she had been so hesitant to talk about it, and why telling others was so offensive. The wolf was fascinated and disgusted all at the same time, he thought it would be nice not having to smell the females in heat, or their bleeding. It was always a serious inconvenience. He looked at the very pale hanyou and smiled, "So I guess you haven't claimed her yet huh?"
Inuyasha snapped back to his usual self, "Don't you dare touch her wimpy wolf!"
"Well if I find her first."
Inuyasha and him sprinted towards the spring, leaving the monk alone to come to consciousness. He sat up and rubbed his head, "Where did everybody go?"
He saw the pack and his memory came rushing back to him, making him seriously regret ever asking, and trying to get at the bag. He picked it up hesitantly and dropped it off by the camp, changing into his swim suit he decided a dip in the spring could clear his head of the nasty images…

It's ridiculously short I know, but I have a ton of homework to get to… I will try to finish the entire story soon… (tear… the end of my first fanfic)
And that is only the first half of the reaction! Sorry to cut you off… but I have multiple quizzes and tests tomorrow and I need to pass all of them…
And if you were looking for a hormonal reaction, just be patient… or our Monk's reaction, I promise it is coming…
