Authoress' Notes: Yeaahhh… The real/next shot got put off for this crack idea that got into my head. I'd read a couple of Inuyasha/Hetalia crossover fics where Kagome is a young nation that is being raised by England. And this suddenly popped into my head and it's been bugging me!
THIS SHOT IS UNRELATED TO THE FIRST TWO YOU'VE READ!
Pairing(s): Er… None… Technically. Unless you support pedophilia… Which Hetalia kinda makes seem cute
Shot 3: Men… Stru… Frustration!
"Arthur…" the young nation known as Armenia-Kagome Higurashi whispered aloud, as to wake him up without being too loud. Kagome frowned in a displeased manner when the only response she received was a sleepy groan and the older nation turning over onto his other side so that his back faced her. "Arrrrrrthur!" She whispered again harshly while climbing onto the bed and shaking his shoulder as roughly as she could. "Wake up! I need help!" She stated desperately as globs of tears formed in her eyes.
"Wake up! I need help!" Seemed to be the young nation's catchphrase whenever she woke up in the middle of the night and came to him. Arthur sat up slowly and groaned in frustration when Kagome clicked his lamp on, causing him to have to squint a bit before his eyes adjusted to the new light.
His green eyes lit up in silent surprise when he observed that the nation seemed to have suddenly aged. A few hours ago when he tucked her into bed she appeared to be only around eight years old, now she was suddenly thirteen or so. Not only had she grown in height but the young nation was beginning to develop a cute and tiny bosom. Arthur coughed uncomfortably and averted his scrutinizing gaze before asking, "What is it, lass? Do you know what time is?"
Kagome's face flushed and she lowered her head to hide her expression of sorrow and embarrassment. "I… I need help." She whispered again. "…Please." She added as to be polite as possible, as she had been taught.
"What? Did you wet your bed again?" He inquired with a small smile, knowing that asking a young teenager such a thing would be embarrassing. Surely enough the girl lifted her head to reveal a half surprised and half embarrassed expression on her face.
It soon changed from embarrassed to indignant, which caught the older nation by surprise. The young teen crossed her arms over her chest and frowned at him, obviously irked by his question. "Of course not!" She retorted ."Ugh!" She huffed indignantly. "Oh, forget it, I'll handle it myself!" With that said, she sprung off the bed in the most unladylike way as possible.
Before the girl could stomp away, Arthur quickly grabbed one of her wrist and easily hoisted her onto his bed so that she was sitting next to him. Arthur sighed before forcing an apologetic smile to his face, "I was only kidding." He had learned the tell-tale signs of a rebellious nation because of his previous experience with America… And… He would not be able to take it his sweet younger sister would suddenly want to leave him because of a silly argument. "Now, tell me what you need." He commanded in a kind manner.
Kagome's frown deepened and she looked up at him with teary eyes, "I need a band-aid!"
Arthur blinked, not expecting her suddenly exclamation. He quickly regained his composure and asked, "Why? Are you hurt somewhere?" Kagome blushed when the blond gently took one of her arms and began scanning it for any injuries. When he found none on that arm, he proceeded to search her other one.
Kagome snatched her arm away and blushed harder, "I'm not hurt… But… I'm… bleeding." She explained in an embarrassed manner, hoping that the older nation was more experienced in "these kinds of things" than she was. His next question caused to her to pale and lose all hope of saving some of her pride and dignity.
"Where…?"
"…" Kagome fell silent.
"Come on, spit it out, lass. If you're bleeding than I'd rather we fix that right now before it gets out of hand," Arthur stated, thoroughly clueless about her predicament but still concerned in his own way.
"Down there…" She finally admitted. "I'm bleeding… down there." She emphasized the final word that downward nod of her head.
Arthur froze as all the color also drained from his face. When he first volunteered to raise the young nation, he had seen this coming. But nothing, not even all the parenting manuals on menstrual cycles in young girls, could have ever prepared him for this moment.
"Arthur…?" She squeaked sadly. Kagome began to sniff at his silence.
Oh God, here comes the mood swings.
"Please say something…" She hiccupped before beginning to cry, "I knew it! I'm a freak! I'm sorry, Arthur! I'm sorry! J-Just… GET ME A BAND-AID!" She sobbed out loud.
(A Few Minutes Later)
Arthur closed his eyes for moment to calm his racing heart. Here he was… With newly teenage Kagome who was holding onto his hand with one of her own while using her other hand to wipe away her tears that continuously flowed out of her blue-gray eyes like waterfalls. Bugger. Thank God that it was so late at night that most people would be asleep at this hour so he did not have to deal with the chances of encountering any of the other nations, besides Spain who was an employee at the nearly 24-hour convenient store. The two of them were standing in an aisle full of a variety of different things that would help Kagome… And different brands too… The only problem was figuring out which ones were best for her…
Arthur looked down at Kagome, who immediately looked up at him curiously. "S-Say, you wouldn't happen to know which one we should buy, would you?" He asked shakily, clearly as embarrassed about the ordeal as Kagome was.
Kagome only glared at him, "No, why would I? All I know is what you've taught me!"
Arthur sighed in frustration while wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. "I suppose you have a point there, lass." He stated before turning back to the colorful plastic packages and boxes on the shelves in front of him. He grabbed the closest box to him; it was pink and had the picture of a pad with wings that seemed to be flying like a bird. He forced a smile to his lips and Kagome paled when she saw his face twitch. "H-how about this one?" He asked. "This should do the job, right?"
Kagome frowned thoughtfully while slowly and gingerly grabbing the box from Arthur's hands, which was a relief to him because he felt so embarrassed just holding it. But it did not quite help when Kagome read the details out loud, "Maximum absorbent pads. Allows free and easy movement. Extra large." Kagome scrunched up her nose at the last thing she read. She then looked up at Arthur and inquired, "Does extra large mean it takes extra large amounts of blood or does it mean it's for girls with extra large vagin-?"
"H-How would I know?" Arthur quickly cut in. "You're the one who should know!"
The embarassingness of the situation created a sort of tension between the two, who usually got along like milk and cookies. "You're the adult! You're supposed to know about these things!" Kagome countered.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance, no?" A familiar voice inquired kindly.
The bickering duo simultaneously turned around and exclaimed in surprise, Kagome's surprise was more pleasant than Arthur's however, "Spain!" The man smiled and responded with a friendly wave and an 'hola, amigos'.
Kagome then looked at the pink box in her hand and blushed from being caught by another nation with such a thing. She quickly placed it back onto the shelf where it belonged and jumped behind Arthur. "We're good~!" She lied while waving her hand dismissively.
Arthur was somehow happy that Kagome beat him to that line. It was not that he did not trust Spain… Okay, maybe it was that he did not trust Spain. Although the curly haired Spaniard was one of the more subtle and trust-worthy country, Arthur was still wary of him when it came to Kagome. It seemed that the man had a small "thing" for children, especially cute ones like Kagome. "Yup, now leave us be!" Arthur agreed while also dismissing Spain with a wave.
However the Spaniard only smiled brightly and insisted, "Nonsense, mi amigo! As an employee, it's my job to make sure you buy what you need!" He then gently pushed his way past Arthur and bent over a bit so that he was at eye-level with Kagome. He placed a soothing hand on her head and asked, "Now you need something comfortable but absorbent, si?"
"Uuuhhh…" Kagome stared at him with her mouth ajar but nodding dumbly. "Mm hm!"
Spain's smile widened as he grabbed a purple package off a shelf higher than the one the pink box came off of. "Then I recommend this to mi hermanita linda!"
Kagome blushed while slowly taking the box and replying in what little Spanish that she knew, "Gracias." She looked down at the package and read the details inside of her head before nodding to Spain. She looked up at Arthur and announced, "I want this one."
Arthur only sighed and slumped his shoulders tiredly. What a night this had turn out to have been… Good thing the hardest part was over.
"You need to put one on now, si?" He asked, she nodded quietly in response. "You can use the bathroom over there and England will be waiting out here for you."
Kagome nodded and smiled before skipping off to the bathroom. She took a mere five skips before visibly stiffening. Spain and England blinked when the girl craned her neck slowly, giving them another teary eyed and embarrassed look. "I-I don't know how to put it on!"
Authoress' Notes: Sorry for the crack. But if I didn't write this, it would have been slowly eaten me alive. But yay~! I'm done! *throws confetti in the air* If anyone needs some inspiration, I'm selling four ounce bags of author's weeds. It really gets ya going, lol! ^-~
Yeaahhh… Okay, I promise no more crack randomness in the next installment… It'll probably end up related to the first two shots, or… it might not… *shrugs* Just keep sending in your requests and I promise I will get to them. But the more votes a pairing gets, the faster the shots gets written. Oh yes! I've renewed the poll in my profile so go ahead and re-vote.
Hmm... I'm also pondering if I should make more shots related to this one...?
