“[Fuwa~] Ugh!” (Tsukasa)

Yawn, stretch and groan while hold my aching head with my hands. It’s beautiful weather today, but I feel as if it were cloudy and rainy. It’s not very pleasant at all. The first time I woke up this morning with my headache, I tried to go back to sleep, but I’m a high school student and this is only the second day of school. When Miyuki came to wake me up, she said it’s only a headache, so I wouldn’t be allowed to take the day off. So, here I am putting on a brave face and trying to tough it out.

Walking with the Esumi River on my right side, while ma.s.saging my temples. Miyuki is walking beside me on my left side looking over the neighborhood.

“There’s no one around, right?” (Mii)

“Yes, it’s almost desolate.” (Tsukasa)

The only thing around other than us is some cats in front of us. Aww, they ran away Cherry blossom petals scattered by the cats are picked up by the wind, land in the river, and float along with the current. Quite a lovely sight. It would be cool if I could write a poem about it, but I’m not good enough at j.a.panese to do something like that. I’m almost like a foreigner in that respect.

“Onee-chan, you don’t seem to be feeling well. Did you take any medicine?” (Mii)

“My headache was bad enough I never thought about it. Why do you have something?” (Tsukasa)

“I quite often have to take something when I’m having my period or I wouldn’t be able to move.” (Mii)

I see. She’s very organized. By the way, I haven’t cleaned my room recently. When I get home, I really ought to vacuum it. Ugh! It’s not the same thing. Menstruation. It’s a physiological phenomena that visits women every month. Metaphors for it include ‘Lunar Time’, ‘That Time of the Month’, and ‘Girls’ Day’. In many cases, it’s not very welcome.

“Oh, I see...” (Tsukasa)

It’s a little embarra.s.sing for a man to be aware of such things about a woman. Miyuki seems fine, but I’m a little unsettled.

“Has onee-chan still not had her first period?” (Mii)

“Eh?!” (Tsukasa)

I cry out because Miyuki asks such a strange thing. Well, it is strange isn’t it? Such conversations might be normal amongst girls.

“Well, mine hasn’t come yet. Umm… Has yours come?” (Tsukasa)

“You haven’t had one yet? You are a girl after all.” (Mii)

You’re a girl. You’re a girl. You’re a girl. Repeatedly echoes in my mind. Dropping my shoulders, I sigh loudly.

It’s true. Just because I’m a vampire doesn’t mean I won’t have a period. Mom told us that vampires are no different that regular people, other than having powers, glowing eyes, and the vampiric impulses. This is depressing, although it isn’t because I’m having my period. Simply the thought of it makes my stomach hurt. Speaking of periods, there are individual differences between girls. Some bleed more and some less. Some barely have any pain at all while for others the pain is so severe they can barely move when they have theirs.

I wonder what mine will be like. Will it be heavy or not? I really hope that it isn’t a lot.

“Mii-chan are yours pretty heavy?” (Tsukasa)

“Oh wow. Ordinary I guess? It’s not like I have to go rest in the infirmary, but it"s still tough. …Are you afraid of yours onee-chan?” (Mii)

“Yes, of course I"m afraid. It"s an unknown territory for a man.” (Tsukasa)

“That’s true. It"s not something that boys care about after all. Although, I hate it when I have mine, it’s best if you don’t think about it too much.” (Mii)

I wish I could let it go like that, but once I start worrying about something it’s hard for me to stop. Menstruation… Such a simple word is making me depressed.
