“Your what!!?” Inuyasha gasped, his face contorted in pain.

“My cramps,” Kagome stated with a smug smile. “You are now feeling what I’m feeling. It’s so nice to have the love of my life share my menstrual.”

“It is not nice!” Inuyasha screamed. “Oh gods! I’m going to bleed to death!” Inuyasha raced to the bathroom.

Kagome waited until the door slammed shut, then she fell backwards on the bed in a burst of laughter kicking her arms and legs in the air and dancing a jig on the mattress. She quickly stopped and sat back down when Inuyasha swung opened the door and stared her suspiciously.

“What are you doing?” He asked.

“Nothing,” Kagome said, giving him an innocent look. “Is everything okay?”

“Well, I’m not bleeding! Ugh! That would have really freaked me out!” Inuyasha said with a look disgust, making Kagome glare at him. He laid down beside her with his back turned to her and moaned pitifully.

Kagome rubbed his back. “You’ll be okay, Inuyasha. All women go through this for at least four days...sometimes even a week.”

“What!? I’ve got to deal with this for that long!? The gods must be playing one cruel joke on me!” Inuyasha whined.

“Inuyasha, I need to you to take me the store,” Kagome told him looking over his shoulders.

“Are you crazy? I’m not going anywhere like this! I feel like something is slowly ripping my guts out! How can you sit there so calmly and tolerate this?”

“The same way you can tolerate having a sword stabbed through your stomach to play a dirty trick on me!” Kagome said angrily, surprising him.

“Kagome? You’re still upset about that?” He asked turning to look at her.

She sighed. “If you don’t want to go with me, then I’ll go by myself.” She made a move to climb over him.

Inuyasha pulled her down on top of him. “You are not going anywhere. You’re going to stay in bed with me and suffer through this like a good girl.”

Kagome rolled her eyes. “I need to get personal feminine things for myself or Sesshoumaru is going to have a lot of dirty sheets to wash and I doubt he’d like that.”

“Why don’t you ask Rin for some,” Inuyasha said, pushing her back on the bed.

“I did, but she doesn’t use the same brand I do and I won’t feel comfortable using something I’m not use to!”

“Kagome, you are not going anywhere. You’ve been seen enough in public visiting Sango! I will not take you to a public store because you want to be picky over your feminine things!” Inuyasha said, stubbornly crossing his arms.

Kagome pushed against his back trying to push him off the bed. It was no use, she wasn’t strong enough to push the big oaf. She decided to try another tactic. She straddled his legs and gave him the saddest look she could muster. “Please, Inuyasha! Don’t be so cruel. I really need to go, you don’t know what a girl has to go through...well maybe you do, now, but still there’s so much more...” she pleaded.

Inuyasha stared at her and gulped loudly. He almost looked like he was about to give in until he saw the tiny smug glint in Kagome’s eyes. He frowned. “No way in hell! And don’t you ever try to pull that little trick on me again!”

Kagome felt like pulling his hair out, not hers. She grabbed a hold of his long locks that hung on the side of his face and yanked as hard as she could, pulling him into a sitting position with his face close to hers. “Look you big, stupid, dog! I need my tampons and maxi pads and everything else a girl needs to feel better!!! If you don’t take me to a store right now. I swear I have ways of making those cramps worse than they already are. I can deal with it because I’m use to the pain, but I’d love to see how you handle cramps ten times worse than this!”

Inuyasha gulped loudly in fear. “You can actually do that?”

“Yes, I can!” Kagome lied. “So you better take me to the store where I can buy the medicine I need to stop the pain! Unless, you’d rather lay here and deal with it for four days.”

“Well, why didn’t you say so in the first place...bitch!” Inuyasha pushed her off him as he got up. “Hurry up and get dressed. I don’t have all day!” He yelled grouchily as he left the room.

Kagome took her time getting dressed, even decided to eat breakfast before they left. She’d told Rin why Inuyasha was crankier than usual during breakfast causing Rin to laugh out loud and Sesshoumaru to frown in disgust. Later, the two girls stood in the hallway waiting for Inuyasha to come out of the bathroom. He had complained about feeling nauseous and ran out of the breakfast room after seeing and smelling the delicious food. They giggled quietly to themselves a few feet away when Inuyasha came out and leaned against the wall with a loud moan.

Sesshoumaru walked by and stopped to watch him hold his stomach and whimper like a girl. “You are a disgrace to the youkai race. For once, I’m glad you’re only half youkai.” He said coldly looking down his nose at his half brother.

“Go fuck yourself, Sesshoumaru,” Inuyasha replied harshly. He turned to Kagome giving her a hurt look. “Why are you laughing at me, bitch? This pain is unbearable. Did I laugh at you when you were hurt? No, I cried and now you have the nerves to laugh at me?”

He sounded so hurt and pitiful that Kagome felt bad for him. “Inuyasha, we can go get the medicine now,” she said giving him an encouraging smile. “You’ll be okay, try not to think about it.”

“That’s easy for you to say!” Inuyasha spat.

***********************************************************************

After an hour of waiting for Kagome to buy the things she needed at a retail store, Inuyasha hovered over her impatiently as she opened a bottle of something called Midol and gave him two pills.

“This should help,” she told him, watching him take the pills and swallow. She ruffled his white hair and smiled at him as they walked out the store and down the sidewalk.

Sulking, Inuyasha followed behind her wondering when the medicine would start working.

“Hey Kagome, haven’t seen you in a while,” a masculine voice said, making him look up. He growled when he saw Koga laying on top of the hood of his convertible. He was wearing black leather pants and a black shirt. His hair was still pulled back in a high ponytail.

“Koga,” Kagome said, looking nervously at both of the men.

Koga slid off the hood to stand in front of her. “ Taking your dog out for a walk this afternoon?”

Kagome could hear Inuyasha growl rise. “Um Koga, now is not the time,” she told him.

“You really should keep him on a leash. He could be dangerous,” Koga taunted ignoring Kagome’s warning.

Kagome turned to Inuyasha who was slowly advancing on Koga with his lips pulled back showing his fangs.

“Look Inuyasha, a fire hydrant!” Koga pointed excitedly.

Inuyasha turned around to see what was the big deal. When he turned back, Koga was gone and so was Kagome!!!

“KOGA!” Inuyasha growled...

********************************************************

“Koga, you do know you’re about to die,” Kagome stated when he put her down in a cave away from the city.

Koga smiled. “By the time Inuyasha gets here, you’ll be mine.”

“I don’t think so Swifty,” Kagome said, holding out her hands to ward him off as he approached her.

Koga sniffed. “You smell different,” he said, giving her a curious look. He sniffed again, then flattened her against the wall of the cave before she could stop him. His body pressed against hers intimately as he sniffed her from head to feet.

Kagome heard his growl before he rose up to face her. “Why is his scent mixed with yours? It’s not just in your clothes! It’s in your skin!! Your hair! Everywhere! What did he do to you?”

‘This guy is not too bright,’ Kagome thought to herself wondering when he was going to figure out she was Inuyasha’s mate. She squeaked when he kneeled down, lifted up her skirt and stuck his nose in her underwear.

“Excuse me!” Kagome yelled indignantly, slapping him away from her. “Will you stop doing that!?”

Koga grabbed her chin, pushed it to the side and pulled her hair away from her neck. He growled angrily when he saw the markings. “He’s already made you his mate!!!!”

Kagome crossed her arms when he let her go.

“I went through all of this trouble for nothing? I can’t have you now! You’re his! There’s only one way for you to be mine. Inuyasha must die!”

“Koga! I don’t want to be yours! Did you ever think about that?” Kagome shouted at him in mild annoyance.

“How do you know? You haven’t given me a chance to prove that I’m worthy of you,” Koga said. “When I kill Inuyasha, you will give yourself to me freely because I will have proved to you that I’m strong, fast, and can protect you from anything.”

“Koga, listen to me. I am not some female wolf from your clan so stop treating me like one. What is it with you youkai forcing your will on women? I am a human being. Inuyasha is my mate and you will not hurt him!”

“I have to in order for you to belong to me,” Koga said.

“I don’t want to belong to you!!” Kagome yelled at him.

Koga looked at her as if she was a simpleton. “Why don’t you sit down and rest, this will all be over soon,” he said softly. He took her arms and made her sit down at the far end of the cave away from the opening. “ It’s that time of the month isn’t it? I can smell it. No wonder you’re so upset.”

“I am not upset because of my period, you idiot!” Kagome yelled in frustration.

Koga patted her head. “Poor thing, everything will be fine, my love. Don’t you worry.”

“Are you even listening to me!?” Kagome asked him.

"Kagome, I've been searching for you everywhere! It's like you disappeared off the planet. I was so worried about you. Now that I've found you, I'm not letting you go without a fight!" Koga sniffed the air. “He got here faster than I anticipated. Stay here, Kagome. I’ll return for you in a few minutes.”

Kagome watched him walk out of the cave. She stood up to go after him and stopped when she saw two huge wolves appear from the darkness of the cave and stand in front of her. She sat back down feeling afraid for the first time since her kidnapping.
