Hi ^^ Sorry about the delay. I had an Orchestra competition Saturday and Mother's Day was yesterday...but all that matters is that a new chapter is here. Woo! Please read, REVIEW (please and thank you) and enjoy...
There are times in life when you'll get to experience a day filled with surprises while the rest consist of the same thing every day. And people wonder why life seems so short? After the wedding, Sesshomaru and Rin said their final farewells and fled off to where ever they were going to for their honeymoon. It would remain a surprise to Rin until they arrived at their destination. Kagome was placed properly back in school the next day dreading the next six hours. She tried focusing on her daily prompt in English while her teacher was busy writing information on the board. She squirmed in her seat in discomfort and groaned. This was going to be a long day...it was after all her time of the month. Kagome bit her lower lip and held back a whimper. She supposed she was just being a baby about it. But there could be a problem if the pain was too severe right? She couldn't even focus correctly.
Hesitantly, Kagome raised her hand above her head trying her hardest to get her teacher's attention. Being a youkai, the teacher didn't even need to turn around to know that she was raising her hand. He was just that cool.
"Yes Kagome?"
" Can I go to the restroom?"
"Certainly. Just don't get in trouble with the monitors."
"I'll try not to." She said getting up from her seat and waddled awkwardly to the girl's bathroom. She pushed the doors open sliding into the closest stall and locked it. Pulling her skirt down she sighed. Yet another pair of panties ruined... "I really should start paying attention to when it's supposed to come..." There was no way Kagome was going to walk around all day in stained underwear and a thin piece of toilet paper lied over it. Plus the pain...You couldn't forget that excruciating pain.
Kagome pulled out her cellphone and dialed InuYasha's cell phone number. He had told her yesterday that he didn't plan on coming to school today. Perhaps he would be courteous enough to pick her up so she could change, take some pills, and rest...and a bubble bath couldn't hurt. 'Please answer... I'm slowly dying over here...'
After two rings InuYasha answered the phone. It sounded like he was playing Assassin Breeze Online. "Yesss Kagome...?" InuYasha asked slowly. "Aren't you supposed to be learning?"
"Listen I need a favor."
"Shoot." He said putting the phone on speakerphone.
"C-can you come pick me up?"
"Oooh. Kagome's a ditcher..." He sang.
"No I'm not! I'm in so much pain right now. I'm almost in tears!"
InuYasha stopped his joking and put the phone to his cheek again.
"What's wrong Kagome?" he asked in a panic. "Are you hurt?"
"Well...I'm...uh..."
"Kagome! I'm your best friend, now just spit it out!"
'Kami this is so embarrassing.' Kagome thought in her head rubbing her temple with her two fingers. But she was going have to suck it up if she wanted him to come pick her up.
"I'm bleeding..."
"Oh my kami! And you're just nonchalantly talking to me on the phone while your probably bleeding to death! Where are you bleeding!"
"Jeez InuYasha! I'm menstruating for crying out loud! Calm down!" Kagome practically screamed into the phone. Like she was really going to say where exactly she was bleeding...as if!
"Oh." InuYasha laughed. "Yeah...no need to freak out over that...I'm sorry."
"I-I don't have any pads and I don't want to be in stained underwear all day...could you pick me up?"
"Why can't your mom?"
"She's working and Gramps is showing around tourists at the shrine."
"Alright fine. I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Omg I love you InuYasha!"
"Yeah, yeah..." He sighed. "Are you going to hide in the bathroom the whole time?"
"No. I left my binder in class."
"Okay. I'll see you in a few minutes."
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye."
Kagome hung up the phone and smiled. Could a best friend get any better than that? Kagome completely forgot about her pain as she swayed down the halls back to class in a daze.

InuYasha sighed looking at his now midnight black locks of hair. This had been his reason of missing school today. He didn't want anybody knowing when his day of weakness was at school. It would make him too vulnerable. Don't be mistaken though; he still was in fact very strong but no longer had the abilities and advantages of a half demon. He never even told Kikyo when he turned human. He was afraid that she would leave him. It really was a silly thought to his parents. They said that if Kikyo truly loved him; she wouldn't care if he was a half demon or a human. Kagome on the other hand did know. She wasn't supposed to but had accidentally walked in to his room when they were much smaller and saw him. Her first reaction had been that oh, he dyed his hair black. Then she noticed no inu ears... InuYasha tensed at what her reaction would be but she just smiled. He didn't understand how she easily accepted both of his forms.
InuYasha slipped on his shoes and hopped in his car. He didn't think that a motorcycle would do Kagome any good for the pain. Maybe, but he wouldn't know...he wasn't a girl or a doctor.
()()()()
Kagome continuously stared at the clock and watched the minutes ticked by. It wasn't long before the intercom beeped to life and told that Kagome was going home for the day. She tried to hide her grin but couldn't. Looks as though she didn't have to stay for six hours of torture after all. She waved to her teacher grabbing her binder and zipped out of the room in lightning speed.
InuYasha was leaned up against the wall waiting for her. Once she approached him he lead her back to his car and held the door open for her.
"So...do you have pads at home or would you like me to go and buy you some?" InuYasha said putting the keys into the ignition.
"I..don't have any to be honest. I'll pay you back! I swear!"
"No need. You didn't ask for this to happen."
"Ugh you're so stubborn sometimes!" She huffed crossing her arms. "Why don't you ever let me pay you back!"
"Aw man...I hate hormonal Kagome." InuYasha whined. "and I wasn't being stubborn, for the record I was just trying to be a gentleman."
Kagome just stuck out her tongue, clutching her stomach and rested her head against the window.
A convenience store was very close to their high school once InuYasha parked the car he gave Kagome a look with a raised eyebrow. "Are you going to be well enough to go buy your stuff by yourself or do I have to do it?" He winced inside wishing he didn't say the last part.
"You'd do that for me?" Kagome awed.
"Uh..."
Kagome moaned in pain and frowned.
"Alright! Fine." He said getting out of the car and slamming the door. 'Here goes...' he said taking a big gulp. Well this was going to be awkward...
Kagome laughed once he slammed the door. He was like putty in her hands. Though she really did think it was sweet of him to do that. In all honesty she really could have done it herself.
InuYasha put his hood over his head covering all his hair and tightened the two strings in the front. He wasn't about to let his secret out now. Walking into the store InuYasha did a quick drawn image in his head of the whole store. 'Where exactly would they be...' he wondered. 'Not in the chip aisle...candy aisle...elderly aisle...maybe the pharmacy? Nah...probably the chip aisle.'
The chip aisle was very close to the pharmacy so he examined both sections. The last thing he wanted to do was ask an employee where they were. One of the pharmacists noticed that he was having trouble finding what ever it was that he was looking for.
"Sir need any help? What are you looking for?"
Scanning the selection of chips with a serious face, InuYasha nodded with his hand on his chin. "Yes...pads."
The pharmacist tried her hardest not to burst out laughing. She suspected he was kind enough to get his girlfriend or sister them. "Well I'll tell you right now you wont find them in the chip aisle."
"Oh." He said looking down at the ground.
"Here. Follow me. I'll show you where they are."
InuYasha nodded. Yep...really awkward...and plus, now he felt stupid.
She led him to an aisle filled with different brands of pads and tampons. InuYasha's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Was all these really necessary! He wondered...
As far as he was concerned, who cared if it was scented, thick, or tiny...as long as you could bleed in it...so what?
"W-which one am I supposed to get?" He asked the woman assisting him.
" Well it normally just depends on the female and how much she is bleeding. I'm sure whatever you get will be just fine."
" 'kay. Thank you for your help."
"You're very welcome."
InuYasha glanced at all the different packages. One however had caught his eye. It looked way cooler than the others one...
It was black and had disco lights on the package. "It's like a menstrual disco party..." He looked at the price tag, it was twice as expensive as the other ones. However...they looked cool so he took them. He also grabbed a soda as he made his way to the cash register. It just so happened to be a dude...
InuYasha thought he was going to make a stupid comment to him but he just rang up the items like normal. InuYasha handed him the correct amount of money and took the bag. He slid back into his car taking out the drink and tossing the store bag onto Kagome's lap.
InuYasha easily untwisted the cap and took a swig of the drink. "You're welcome."
Kagome looked inside the bag and gasped. "Jeez InuYasha did you have to get the most expensive brand!"
" How was I supposed to know which one to get! Besides the rest didn't look as cool as this one."
Kagome wrapped up the bag and set it next to her feet. "You're never supposed to judge a product by it's coolness."
"'Well you never exactly told me which one you wanted."
"Thank you for getting them for me..Gramps wont even buy them for me." She laughed.
"No problem." He smiled never taking his eyes off the rode.

"Gramps is going to be mad that I left school..." Kagome frowned. "How are we going to do this?" The main reason that InuYasha stopped at Kagome's house was so she could change her underwear.
"Easily, I'll launch you through the window that is in your room."
"What!"
"Kidding. I'll climb us both up there. Like I do all the time...simple."
" Ew..I'm wearing a skirt."
"Do you want to change or not?"
"Fine."
InuYasha parked a distance away from the Higurashi shrine so that just in case Gramps was wandering around he wouldn't spot them.
Kagome hopped on his back and signed resting her forehead on his back. "InuYasha you can put your hood down now. You look like Kenny from South Park..."
"Oh my god they killed Kenny."
Kagome laughed and adjusted herself to be more comfortable.
"It's not safe anyways. I'm not at home."
"If you say so."
InuYasha hoisted both of them up the wall and into her room. He could only wonder how she kept it so tighty all the time.
"I'll be right back. Stay here- wait I forgot the pads in the car..." Kagome blushed.
InuYasha held up the bag and tossed them to her. "I knew you would."
"Thanks." Kagome said grabbing a pair of underwear and disappearing into the bathroom. InuYasha sat on her bed and looked around the room. She still had that giant stuffed white akita he got her when she broke her arm. He didn't expect it to last that long or have her keep it all these years for that matter. Kagome came out and crashed onto her bed next to InuYasha.
"So...I'm guessing you want to hang out at my house all day?" InuYasha asked because obviously Gramps would hear talking from upstairs and be suspicious.
Kagome just nodded.
"Then we better get going."
"Why are you so nice to me?" Kagome suddenly asked.
"You ask that question much too often Kagome." He chuckled.
"But it's one question I really want to know the answer to."
"Well, you've been so nice to me all these years that...I just feel like I should do the same."
"But you don't have to be."
"I want to." InuYasha stared into her eyes. She could tell he was telling the truth. Returning his gaze to the floor he sighed. "We should get going."
InuYasha picked up Kagome onto his back and pulled open the window.
"Wait! Gramps is right under us!" Kagome whispered in a panic.
InuYasha looked down twitching his ears and leaped for the sacred tree that stood tall beside Kagome's bedroom window.
"You better hold on." InuYasha pointed out raising an eyebrow at Kagome and tightened his grip on her thighs.
"Gramps is going to see us."
"Not if we're quiet. He is an elder after all.." He said in a soft whisper climbing up the tree further. Gramps and the tourists had made it to the other side of the shrine so InuYasha took this time to leap down towards the sidewalk to his car.

The trip back to the Taisho mansion went by fast and smoothly. Izayoi and InuTaisho were both at work but even if InuYasha had been seen coming home early he wouldn't get in trouble. After all all he was trying to do was take care of a friend. Nozomi welcomed them as they entered the front doors. InuYasha lead Kagome up to his room and shut the door. He turned on the Tv and sat on the bed while Kagome went in the bathroom to take 800 mg ibuprofen. Kagome cupped her hands together letting the water splash into them. She then brought the water to her lips and drank it quickly to help wash down the pills. If it were up to her the pills would work instantly but in reality they would take about ten to fifteen minutes to kick in. Turning the faucet off Kagome gazed at herself in the mirror. Did she look this terrible every month? Groaning she ran her fingers through her hair to get the tangles out. She heard InuYasha chuckle at whatever show he was watching. Weren't all the young kids' Tv shows on at this time of day? 'What a baby.' Kagome snorted turning off the light and left the private bathroom.
"Feeling any better yet?" InuYasha asked grabbing the remote, quickly turning what ever channel he was watching.
"No." She said climbing on the bed. "Hey! I want to watch what you were watching too! You were laughing."
"So?"
"What are you hiding?"
"Nothing. It's not like it was adult paid programing..."
"Come on InuYasha...What show was it?" Kagome teased.
Instead of telling her he flipped it back to the channel he was on.
"Wow Wow Wubzy?" Kagome asked with a raised eyebrow.
"The show is actually pretty funny."
"Then Wow Wow Wubzy it is!"
"So when do you start your first day at Victoria's Secret?" InuYasha asked resting his head on his favorite pillow. It really wasn't any different then the other billion on his huge bed but it was the one with the important role of holding his head up to sleep.
Kagome groaned again smashing her face into the pillow next to InuYasha's.
"I don't want to go to work!"
"Then you better find a husband that will make enough to take care of you both." InuYasha laughed.
'Yeah and you know the sweetest person in the whole wide world that could do that is lying right next to me. You're my token to happiness. Without you I probably wouldn't have made it this far in the running. Why isn't you can't notice the signs I've been sending you since elementary school that I love you...' Kagome snapped out of her mind speech and stared into InuYasha's eyes as all they did was lay there. A rush of pain hit her right below her stomach. Why must the pills always take their sweet time? Kagome squeezed her eyes shut and whimpered.
InuYasha hated to see his best friend in pain. "K-kagome? Can I do anything to make the pain go away?"
' Well duh...You could kiss my tears away and hold me while I go through this misery. Oh and I don't know...ask me to be your mate or something...yep there are a lot of things you can do to make the pain go away.' Kagome mentally said.
Kagome squirmed around on the bed. It was so uncomfortable.
"I just have to endure it for another ten minutes or so. I'll be fine."
InuYasha rested a clawed hand on her arm and rubbed it in a soothing matter. Boy...if Kikyo was here, she would have chewed off InuYasha's hand from Kagome's arm.
"It would be ten times worse if you were at school."
"I know..."
InuYasha turned the channel to a movie that was just about to start. InuYasha didn't particularly cared which movie it was but hoped it would distract Kagome.
Never knowing when it happened, Kagome's head rested on InuYasha's shoulders as they both rested together watching the Tv. It was a relaxing time for both of them. Kagome's eyes were slowly drooping and felt far too heavy to keep open. She couldn't tell if it was due to the medicine that she had taken or if it was the gently purring coming from InuYasha. For now the cramping had subsided. It wasn't long before InuYasha found himself in a peaceful slumber as well. As early as they had to go to school every day they did loose a lot of sleep. This was the perfect day to catch up on their hours of sleep.

Izayoi smiled as she sat comfortably in her office waving farewell to her last client for the day. She received many photos throughout the day from Rin by email. Rin and Sesshomaru went on a cruise to several different islands for their honeymoon. Izayoi giggled at a picture of her step son's sunburned skin. He would probably become as tan as InuYasha by the time they got back after Rin rubbed Vinegar over his stinging red skin.
"Izayoi? InuTaisho's on line one." A feminine voice said into the small intercom on Izayoi's desk.
"Thank you, Takiyuki."
"You're welcome."
Izayoi picked up the phone with a bright smile on her face.
"InuTaisho?"
"Yes. Hello love."
"Hi. Do you need something?"
"Well, I was watching the news earlier this morning in the work lounge and an unusual earthquake took place not too far from Tokyo."
"Unusual you say?"
"Yes. The sky turned a dark purple instead of it's original blue. They had it taped on the news. This couldn't have been any natural earthquake."
"What are you thinking it could have been?"
"Man-made. Almost like a warning sign."
"You think it's a terrorist after Japan?"
"I hope not. Before we know it they'll be banging on my door asking me to join them in the army."
"So you're saying..."
"We could be next in facing a purple sky and shaking ground."
"Do the FBI have a suspect?"
"Yes. As surprising as it seems, even InuYasha's friends Ayame and Kouga knew about him before anybody."
"He's been hiding himself well then."
"It appears to be so."
"I'll stay on my toes then."
"Alright. I thought I would just let you know. Plus I felt like hearing your voice. I'll see you when you get home."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too."
The two both hung up the phones with a sigh. Izayoi ringed her hands together in worry. The world would never remain peaceful for five minutes now would it?

Finally that best part of the day came for InuTaisho and Izayoi. The time when they both got to leave work for the day. Izayoi couldn't understand why InuTaisho didn't just work at home but he insisted that being cooped up in the house all day would make him go crazy. Being the faster driver than her husband and having a closer office building to the mansion, Izayoi arrived earlier than her mate. Shutting off her car she watched as her husband pulled up and gave her a smile. They shared a passionate kiss with each other for about ten minutes before they even got in the house. Talk about missing someone...
InuTaisho sniffed the air after being greeted by Nozomi. InuYasha's and Kagome's scent smelt very fresh in the home.
"Nozomi?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Master InuYasha and Kagome came home at about eight o' clock this morning. Apparently Kagome wasn't feeling good and asked InuYasha to pick her up. She felt that she would get in trouble with her Grandpa if he saw her come home early. They are both in his room."
"Wasn't feeling well?" InuTaisho asked. "Smells to me like just a menstrual cycle." Neither one of them, like InuYasha predicted, was mad.
Izayoi smiled shaking her head and slapping InuTaisho on the chest lightly. "Oh leave the poor girl alone. I'm sure Kagome is just sensitive to pain. I'll let her mother know she should schedule an appointment to go see a doctor."
"I thought it was really sweet that InuYasha bought her pads." Nozomi pointed out.
"Aww! How sweet." Izayoi cooed.
"He must really love her to do that for her. I don't know very many guy friends that would go get their female friends pads."
InuTaisho and Izayoi both made their way up the long staircase and stopped at Inuyasha's door.
"Are they still in there?" Izayoi asked, hoping that InuTaisho would catch their scent.
"Yes." He said reaching for the door.
"Wait! What if we walk in on some things..." Izayoi asked with a strange look
"I don't smell anything unusual so don't get your hopes up."He said opening the door. Izayoi brought her hands to her lips to cover her wide smile at the sight. Both InuYasha and Kagome were sound asleep snuggling in each others arms. InuYasha's arm had instinctively wrapped around Kagome's body as he slept. It's what his mind wanted and well, the only time the mind could take over was when you were asleep. Kagome's head was perched up on InuYasha's muscular chest with a arm resting beside her. The only thing that could be heard in the room was their gentle inhaling and exhaling. Because today InuYasha was human he didn't have his keen senses like normal and didn't know his parents walked into the room. The first thing InuTaisho did was take pictures on his phone and slipped in back into his pocket.
"It's cute but darn!...Their clothes are still on!" Izayoi snapped her fingers and sighed.
"You do realize our son has a girlfriend?"
"Yeah so? That's his mate right there. Completely over throws a girlfriend." Izayoi said shutting the door to leave the two sleep. "Plus, I never really liked Kikyo. Even when she was a little girl."
"Izayoi...I would have never guessed you would have a dislike for someone."
"Only the people who try and steal my baby away from his destined partner."
InuTaisho just laughed. "I can't believe you hoped to see them with no clothes on..."
"Well, it's about time they take it too the next level. Plus...I want another little baby running around..." She said twiddling her thumbs.
InuTaisho backed her up against the wall and smirked.
"Then why don't we fix that?"
Izayoi just giggled and followed him to their master bedroom. As if she said she wanted to raise another child...no thanks.
Please leave a review ^_^
