          I n a quiet clearing a few miles away from where we left our distressed Demon Lord, the Inu-gumi nestled against the towering trees of the forest, taking a break. A fire crackled merrily in the middle of their circle, giving warmth to the group during this cool spring day. Kagome napped against a tall cherry blossom tree, Shippo and Kirara snoozing contently on her lap. Miroku sat a little ways from Sango rubbing a fading red mark on his face, Sango blushing furiously and glaring at the monk. All but Inuyasha was taking advantage of their short break. An all too familiar yellow backpack lay sprawled out on the grass, all of its contents spread around. The hanyou was carefully inspecting all of the supplies tilting his head slightly when he came across something he never saw before.

"What are these?" asked Inuyasha turning towards Sango and Miroku. He held out two squares in pink plastic wrap. They both shook their heads.

"I have no idea what they are, but Inuyasha," said the monk wearily, "If Kagome-sama awakes to you going through her things, she will not be very pleased."

Inuyasha just answered that with a "Feh!" and sniffed the plastic wrap.

"It smells weird," reported the Inu-youkai.

"Leave it alone Inuyasha-sama." warned Sango, "We don't want to make Kagome- chan mad again."

But Inuyasha took no heed as he licked the square and gagged.

"YUCK! You can't eat it, that's for sure."

   At the sound of disgust, Kagome's eyes opened sleepily. The miko stretched and yawned tiredly and blinked back the sleepiness that was still tugging at her eyes. Carefully lifting Shippo and Kirara from her lap, she walked into the middle of the clearing. A fresh breezed rushing through her hair.

"Good morning everyone!" she said with a smile. She turned to Inuyasha.

"Good morning Inuya-" Kagome started before she froze at what was halfway to Inuyasha's mouth.

"INUYASHA, OSUWARI!"

SPLAT

Kagome went over and immediately grabbed the pads from his grasp.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT WENCH!" snarled Inuyasha from the ground, "What the fuck are those things anyway?"

Kagome was blushing with embarrassment.

"For your information, they are things girls need sometimes, once a month." She explained looking at Sango for support. Sango seemed to immediately understand, but the guys just looked more confused than ever. Kagome just sighed and her anger came back, "I don't expect a GUY to understand, just DON'T EVER TOUCH THEM AGAIN!"

Inuyasha raised himself from the ground, "Feh, all they are is plastic any- " Inuyasha froze. His hand slowly reached for Tetsusaiga his ears twitch with alert. Miroku and Sango were immediately up and alert as well, rushing over to Inuyasha.

"Kagome, get back." ordered Inuyasha. Kagome did as she was told and backed up to where Shippo and, the now awake and growling, Kirara.

"Inuyasha, what is it? Youkai?" asked Sango as Kirara transformed and came to her side.

"Sesshomaru." came the answer as Tetsusaiga was unsheathed and a rush of wind brought forth the demon lord, Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha brought forth a growl as he glared at his older brother.

"What do you want Sesshomaru?" asked Inuyasha seething, "If you're looking for a fight, I'll kick your ass right now."

Sesshomaru just glowered at him and narrowed his eyes.

"I would like to have a word with your wench." Sesshomaru said stepping towards them. Kagome gasped and hid farther behind the trees.

"'Have a word?'" repeated Inuyasha, his voice drenched with sarcasm, "If you want to talk to her, you can talk to all of us."

Sesshomaru sighed. 'Stupit mutt...' he thought grimly.

Sesshomaru cleared his throat and his face was parallel to the ground. His face grew crimson as he tried to explain the situation.

"Apparently, Rin's having a women problem..." he said, blood rushing to his face.

The whole Inu-gumi had no idea what he was talking about, until Miroku's eyes widened with recognition.

"She's pregnant isn't she?" the monk said with a sly look towards Sesshomaru. All eyes widened at the demon lord who immediately snapped back.

"It's not like that you fool!" he raged, "Don't mistake me for someone like you, monk. I smell one of these woman's scent ALL OVER you, and like-wise with her."

Now it was Miroku's turn to turn crimson. Kagome brushed aside the monk's distress and turned back towards Sesshomaru.

"What's wrong with her?" she asked, her chocolate eyes sparkling with concern.

The inu-youkai tried to find the right words.

"It appears, ahem that Rin has begun her...umm...monthly bleeding."

Kagome's eyes narrowed as she looked at him, her mind racing.

"Where is she?" she decided, "I'll go to her and help."

"HELL NO YOUR NOT!" scowled Inuyasha, "This is my brother we're talking about! I'm coming to!"

Sesshomaru glared at his sibling, "I think Rin is embarrassed enough."

"I don't care about Rin! Since when did YOU start caring for humans?" growled Inuyasha. 'I don't trust that bastard...he's up to something...'

"Inuyasha! SIT!" Kagome said jumping over the crumpled up Inuyasha; her Yellow backpack resting on her shoulder.

"So you'll come?" ask Sesshomaru.

"If I can bring Sango." Kagome said staring at him, looking for any signs of a trap.

"Hai...and thankyou." Sesshomaru said turning his back towards them and started to walk towards the other end of the clearing. Kagome stood shocked at such kind words from him, but immediately got over it as Sango ran over on Kirara and Inuyasha started to get up.

"Miroku-sama! Expect us back by sundown! If not, release the dog!" cried Kagome back to the agreeing monk.

"Shall we?" asked Sesshomaru before sprinting through the forest; Kirara, Sango, and Kagome hot on his heels.
 ----------
 "Rin?" called a masculine voice through the forest. The girl's sobs stopped for a moment, trying to recognize the voice.

"S-Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin said shakily. A rustle of bushes brought forth Sesshomaru, his eyes sad at the sight of her.

"Rin, I brought you some help. Do as they say." He ordered before leaving her to the arrived Kagome and Sango.

"H-hai." She said nervously as the two girls came before her.

       A sad, sympathetic smile came across Kagome's face. Rin was sitting there, in a pool of her own blood, her clothes saturated from her vain attempt to stop the blood from rushing forth. Twigs stuck forth from her hair, dirt and blood smeared across her face. Dried blood covered her hands, and the inside of her thighs. A nauseating smell wafted from her as tears made paths through the dirt on her cheeks as she began to cry. Kagome dropped the backpack on the ground, and eased down the sobbing girl.

"Rin? I'm Kagome, do you remember me?"

Rin merely nodded, hiding her face in her arms as she sat against the tree.

"Do you remember Sango?"

This time Rin raised her head to look at Sango, who was like-wise, looking back at her.

"She has the neko-youkai." recognized Rin, "Where is it?"

"She...umm...is protecting us from other youkai." answered Sango carefully. She knew perfectly well why Kirara wasn't here; it was the smell.

Rin just smiled when she suddenly clutched her stomach in pain.

"I'm going to die! Rin is going to die! Rin is never going to see Sesshomaru-sama, or Jaken-sama! She's never going to pick flowers 'cause Rin will be dead!"

Kagome hugged the girl lightly around the shoulders.

"You're not going to die. This is natural for us women." Sango said crouching down to eye level with the hysterical teenager.

"Rin does not understand..."

"Look, well explain everything on the way to the hot springs." Kagome said gently helping Rin up, "Trust me, the warm water will help your cramps, and we can get you cleaned up and dressed more properly. You'll see." Rin brushed away her tears as she nodded and hugged Kagome.

"Arigatou."
