Cute little short. First time I've posted on FF.N in a LONG while...
My first foray into the Naruto fandom. I hope you enjoy!
"Ino!" Sakura whined as she dropped onto her best friend's couch, "I can't ever show my face around him again!"
Ino, who had been working on fixing tea for the exhausted kunoichi, sat down and raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
"Sasuke-kun!"
Ino forced out a laugh. The subject of Sasuke-kun was the only one that really seemed to cause tension between the two girls (physical malformations, like foreheads, aside). "Why is that?"
It took every ounce of willpower not to laugh hysterically at the story that followed…

Once again, Kakashi-sensei was late for training. Sakura grumbled as she crossed her arms over her stomach, hunched over slightly. Naruto was attempting to see what was wrong, and Sasuke-kun was… well, being Sasuke-kun on the other side of the bridge. It wasn't until Sakura snapped and yelled at Naruto to "shut the hell up" that he did so. Kakashi-sensei seemed to take that as his cue and appeared out of nowhere, forging some excuse about a cat and an old lady…
"Let's just get working," Sakura sighed, exasperated.
"We'll be working on kunai skills today," Kakashi-sensei announced. Naruto groaned, complaining that the task was incredibly juvenile. Sakura scolded him, and Sasuke-kun… remained silent, but did look vaguely irritated at the elementary review.
Naruto went first, flinging kunai all through the forest at Sasuke-kun and Sakura, both of whom were supposed to be dodging. Sasuke-kun, as usual, didn't get hit once. Sakura got nicked in the arm once, but it was a very minor scratch.
Sasuke-kun went next. Naruto and Sakura both sustained a few more cuts from that session; Sasuke-kun was far more skilled than Naruto.
Sakura went last. She was tired and aching in more ways than one.
She started slowly, stalking and throwing one or two kunai at the boys when she saw them. Before long, however, her fluctuating hormones made her rather impatient, and she chased after Sasuke-kun once she saw him. He leapt into a tree across a clearing from Naruto, who had a perfect view of the area. Sakura reached into the pouch on her leg and gripped the cylindrical handle of a kunai and flung it with dead-precision at Sasuke-kun.
He ducked to the side, eyes widening uncharacteristically as he reached up to catch the flying object—because it certainly wasn't a kunai.
Sakura gasped, green eyes the size of dinner plates.
"Oh, shit," she whispered as she stared at the tampon in Sasuke-kun's hand. She had reached into the wrong pouch! Across the clearing, Naruto finally worked out what had happened and began laughing uproariously. Sasuke-kun dropped out of the tree and approached the frozen Sakura, who hadn't moved in her mortification.
"You might want to store these someplace else," he advised. He turned to walk back to the village, and Sakura was even further embarrassed to hear him, of all people, snicker.
"K-Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura muttered when the copy-nin appeared behind her.
"Training is over for today," Kakashi-sensei announced with his usual hidden smile. He turned to leave, nose still buried in his book. Naruto dropped out of the tree to follow him, still laughing too much to form words.
"S-See ya…" Sakura muttered, deciding to take the long way back to town to give her face time to stop flaming.
