It was just a regular sunny day on flower fruit mountain, and like all days wukong and macaque took this chance to play with the other monkey demons on the island, these monkeys being ma, ba and bang, who were one of wukongs closest friends next to macaque, but this day was extra special for the monkeys because it was sun wukong’s 13th birthday! so everyone was extra happy today, and made sure to go easy on wukong so that he could win as many times as he wanted, but this ended up back firing when wukong finds out about this and manages to hide among the trees. completely changing the game in the process, the others were a bit taken aback at first by this abrupt change, but eventually continued playing, knowing wukong all too well by this point
But unfortunately for them, this game of tag turned hide and seek would quickly come to an end
Wukong was sitting on top of a branch on a tree, snickering quietly with a hand over his mouth as to not gain any of the player’s attention, suddenly getting an idea, wukong slowly rose from his spot on the breach and tip toed slowly near another branch nearby, keeping his eyes peeled for any onlookers, and slowly lowered himself into a crouched position, waiting for the perfect moment…
Then he jumped.
but the universe didn’t seem to be in his favor today, as would become apparent when in that moment wukong suddenly felt a piercing hot white pain in his lower abdomen, and screamed out as loud as he could, missing the handle of the branch by a few inches and falling to the ground, while landing hard on his stomach, which seemed to make the pain worse as wukong let out another pain filled scream, a few minutes later he could hear fastly approaching footfalls, and before he had time to process he was quickly moved onto his back by ma, the sudden movement making him feel dizzy enough that he felt like he was gonna puke, she gave him an apologetic look before she quickly looked over his body for any injuries as ba, bang and macaque arrived on the scene, looking equally as worried for their friend, but only finding a faint bruise near his right hip from when he fell
After making sure that he was okay, ma asked “wukong, what happened, why did you fall?” she asked, but before he could answer he was suddenly hit with another spike of pain, making him scream out in surprise, this made all four monkeys jump, and for the remaining three monkeys to run over to his side, macaque moving closest to his head while ba and bang set next to him on the his left. macaque tenderly brushed hair away from wukong’s face as he tried to look for the cause of his mates sudden discomfort “wukong…peaches, can you please tell me- I mean us what seems to ill you so?” macaque pleaded, watching as wukong tried to think though the cotton balls that seem to be logged in his head “uhhhh…well I was just hiding up in the trees waiting for one of you to find me, when I thought it would be a good idea to jump to a different breach so that i could get a better view, but before I could make it I felt a sudden sharp pain right here” at this he motioned around his lower abdomen, watching as everyone focused their attention to it, when ma suddenly gasped in shock, seeming to have realized something, predictably macaque was right at her side looking at her with a worried expression “what?! what’s wrong?? Did you find out what’s wrong with him!?”
At this ma slowly inched away from him. her ear faintly ringing from him essentially yelling in her ear, and looked down at wukong, who seemed to look a little paler in the face, then moved her focus to his lower abdomen, just to see a puddle of red seeping between his legs. taking in a deep breath, ma clapped her hands together to gain everyone’s attention back, who thankfully haven’t noticed what she had, they looked to her with rapid attention, she sighed deeply before speaking in a calm orderly manner “wukong is going to be just fine, he just seemed to have sprained a muscle is all, all he needs is some rest and he should be okay in no time” she lied, knowing that one out of three of the monkeys here would at least have an inkling as to what is going on, said someone gave her a look and nodded and set up, taking ba’s hand in hers as they made their way back to flower fruit cave, leaving only her, wukong and macaque, who was giving her a stern look, seeming to not believe her words. as if reading her mind he spoke “I know that you might’ve gotten those two to believe you, but just so you’re aware, wukong hasn’t screamed that loud just from a strained muscle in a long time. so, are you gonna tell me the truth?” he spoke evenly, almost like he didn’t want the other two to overhear him
Ma just laughed humorlessly “I knew that you would be too stubborn to listen to an order…fine, I’ll tell you, but you must not tell the others, do you understand?”
macaque looked back down to wukong, just to notice that he had unconsciously been holding his hand, who upon noticing this squeezed back, seemly as a way to reassure him that he was going to be alright, macaque looked back at her, more then determined to protect his mate “yes, I understand completely” with that answer of confirmation, ma took her hands and gently pried apart wukong’s legs, the action making even more blood gush from his vagina, wukong jumped in place, thinking that he just pissed on the grass “di- DID I JUST PEE!?” he exclaimed, before quickly sitting up to look down between his legs, only to see a huge puddle of blood, making him freeze in place, his face as white as a ghost, macaque seemly in the same state, while ma gave them both a look of sympathy, already having gone through this when she was younger
……
several minutes went by in silence as the two tried to process the fact that wukong was peeing blood, when wukong suddenly screamed in terror, making ma and macaque jump as he quickly sprung to his feet, giving his body the chance for more blood to flow down his legs, which only made him panic more. ma only sighed in exasperation as she took his hand and led both boys to a nearby stream, trying not the think about the blood trail that wukong was surely making in the process, when they got there ma quickly undid wukongs hula skirt, which was, surely enough covered in blood and chucked it towards the nearest human encampment, and led wukong into the lake while macaque awkwardly sat down nearby, careful not to accidentally sit in a nearby patch of the stuff, keeping watch on both his best friend and mate
As ma and wukong made it deeper into the lake, wukong’s grip on her hand tightened as he tried not to lose his balance, as a stone monkey he doesn’t do well in water, knowing this ma squeezed his hand back in reassurance. when they finally made it to the middle of the lake, not too deep and not too shallow, ma gestures for him to sit on a nearby rock in the water, who complied, then ma walked over and moved her hands hear his vagina, looking to him when he flinched in place as she explained calmly “relax wukong, all this is normal for someone your age” at this he cocked his head to the side in confusion, seemly lost for words, urging her to continue “I knew the moment you were born when I saw your rather unique body that someday you would go through the same thing that i once went through when I was younger”
….
“You see, wukong, what’s happening here is just a way for your body to clean itself from the inside” wukong made a face at this, seeming to be disgusted by the topic already, she only laughed as she started combing her fingers through his blood soaked fur “but why does my body need to clean itself in such…a messy way?” Wukong asked, having trouble understanding why anyone would have to go though this
“Well, to answer your question I’ll need to tell you why your body needs to clean itself in the first place, when a living body is mature enough the walls of your uterus will develop eggs lining the walls of your uterus, and you already know how the deed is done right?”
Wukong nodded, remembering not so fondly how awkward that lesson was, nobody dared look at anybody, and avoided each other like the plague “well when the body realizes that they haven’t received any sperm, it begins the process that is called “the woman’s monthly bleeding, which has been shortened to period, both for simplicity sake and cause not many people would want to hear about something called woman’s monthly bleeding” as she explained this wukong was so focused on her words that he didn’t notice that she was almost done with cleaning the fur between his legs. until she suddenly stood up from her crouched position and stretched out her arms, gaining the attention of both wukong and macaque, who had been watching the clouds roll by as the two talked “done!” She announced with a big grin, which only resulted in making wukong confused, as he quickly looked between his legs and back at her, simply speechless as he watched her move out from the lake and walk past macaque, who looked at her with a quizzical look “aren’t you gonna help him out of the river? you know he can’t swim” at this she turned around “I know, I just need to get something from my hut,I’ll only be a few, I’m sure I can trust you to look after wukong while I’m gone” without waiting for a response ma turned back around and made her way towards the direction of her hut, leaving macaque on guard duty as he looked back at wukong, who thankfully was still sitting there on the rock in the river, looking as confused as he did
———————————————
When ma arrived at her hut, she wasted no time in looking through her drawers, knowing well that the supplies was here somewhere, no sooner had she thought that she suddenly let out a sound of triumph while pulling out a bag of wool that she had gathered while out looking for supplies a few days ago, not expecting that she’d need it so soon, along with some fabric. taking these two items in her hands she gently placed it on a nearby table and pulled open a drawer and pulled out a bundle of threads and got to work on folding the fabric together into a shape resembling pants, then sawed the corners together with the thread, and grabbed the wool from the bag and carefully sawed the soft cotton into the fabric, giving the newly made clothing a hesitant stretch to make sure it won’t simply fall apart upon being put on, she then puts all the leftover supplies back into their respective drawers and picked up the article of clothing and made her way back towards the lake, praying to whatever celestial beings that are out there that the two haven’t caused any trouble
——————————————
Back with the boys, wukong is still sitting on the stone stool in the river, now more bored than he’s ever been “uuuuuuuugggggggh I’m sooooooo boooooooord….” wukong grounded out, not exactly happy with being stuck in a river of all places on his birthday. “Are you sure I can’t get out? I feel like if I’m in here any longer I’m gonna scream!” with this wukong buried his face into his hands while macaque just sighed in annoyance, having moved closer to the river to dangle his feet over the water, not exactly pleased with the situation either, but knows that whatever ma’s doing it must be important “wukong…it’s only been like five minutes, chill”
Wukong glared at him, scoffing “yeah well it’s easy for YOU to say that while you’re on dry land, meanwhile I’m sitting here soaked after finding out that i apparently have to go through this whole “woman bleeding month” every month, so yeah, I’m not exactly happy right now” with this he crossed his arms in a pout
“Well I’m sorry you feel that way wukong” at hearing this both wukong and macaque look over to the opening of the tree line to see ma holding some sort of clothing “but I’ve finally finished with what I hope will at least help make your menstrual cycle a bit easier” with that she walks over to the edge of the river, making sure to keep the clothing close to her chest as to not get it wet, and reached out with her right hand for wukong to grab onto, finally dragging him out of the river and onto dry land
after drying off ma gave him the clothing, which wukong looked at in confusion “what….what’s this supposed to be?” wukong asks point blank
“Well…it’s actually this new thing I’ve been thinking up ever since I realized that the start of your menstrual cycle was starting soon, I knew that it was gonna begin soon, I just didn’t expect it to happen on your birthday, sooo…happy birthday wukong!” she finished awkwardly, macaque clapped mockingly, she ignores him
“Well…this is certainly an unorthodox gift, but I do appreciate you making this for me” with help by leaning against a tree he manages to slip the article of clothing on, surprised at how comfortable it feels “wow, this is actually really comfortable!” he pokes the soft material between his legs “is this…cotton?? how long did it take to make this?” Wukong looks up to her with admiration in his eyes
“Oh, only a few minutes, it’s amazing what you can make with the right materials”
“aham!” both heads turn in the direction of macaque, just to see him with his arms crossed, having been standing there for the last few minutes “I think we better make it back to flower fruit cave, least we want ba and bang to lead a search party for us”
Ma gasps “ OH THAT’S RIGHT! I totally forgot about that!”
“…wow, nice leadership-“
“Oh quite you!”
