Chapter 10

Eyecatch!!:

-Earthquake!!-

Naruto: Wha-Wha…what's happening?

Kakashi: That, my dear fox…is the melody of Uchiha-land saying buh-bye.

It's Just You & Me

"YOU HAVEN'T HAD UR FUCKIN MENOPAUSE YET?!" Sasuke shouted in horror.

"HOW OLD DO YOU THINK I FUCKIN AM?! FIFTY?!" Sakura shouted back and restrained herself from punching her body.

"Pzzt…Pzzt…"

Both Sasuke and Sakura turned their heads over to the door and raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, hey Kakashi-sensei…what's a meno-pause?"

"Why Naruto, I'm surprised. Two years with Jaraiya-sama and you still don't know that term."

"Just tell me what it is sensei!"

"You'll learn when the time comes."

"Oh please?? Is it something useful?"

"Well…it can…in a way…"

"Oh Oh Oh! I know what a meno-pause is! Is it an extra function on the remote control where you can stop the TV without actually having to press the stop button?"

"Naruto…that's the pause button…"

"Hey is it just me? Or has it gone real quite in there."

"...Oops. We've been discovered."

"And righty-hoe you have." Sakura said grimly and looked down on the two eavesdropping ninjas right outside their door.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Sasuke asked in a dark dark voice. Because you see dear reader, like any other chick with her period, Sasuke is currently in a very dark mood and is officially experiencing what we call…pmsing.

"Ehehehehe…well…we were bored y-you see-"

"Ahem, what he meant was, we were very worried about you Sasuke and Sakura." Kakashi interrupted and stood up from where he was.

"Worried my ass." Sakura rolled her eyes and cracked her knuckles.

"I suddenly remembered Naruto here...was asking about what menopause is." Sasuke recalled sarcastically.

"I-It's quite alright you two. I-I think I'll just ask someone else." Naruto chuckled nervously.

"No it's okay. And where do you think you're going sensei?!" Sakura said in a fake sweet voice.

"Oh..err…nowhere Sasu-I mean Sakura. I had a sudden urge to…um…pee!" Kakashi smiled back.

Sasuke glared at the two and smirked. It wasn't just any kind of smirk. It was 'the' smirk. Oh boy…we're they gonna get it. "We'll give you three seconds to run…one, two, DIE!!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Have mercy!!" Naruto screeched waking at least half of the inn's costumers.

The Glorious Next Day

"Yawn….I wonder why the innkeepers were so mad." Yutaka, the vice president, mused as they set out once again for Rock Country.

"No idea." Sakura replied bluntly but was ignored by the vice president. Instead Yutaka, being completely oblivious to the current situation, stationed himself beside Sasuke who was in Sakura's body.

"How are you today Sakura-chan?!" Yutaka asked cheerfully and slung an arm around him.

"Get-" Sasuke stopped in mid-sentence as he received three pairs of glaring eyes.

Flashback

"Now Sasuke," Kakashi said knowingly while rubbing a bruise on his head that Sasuke created earlier, "we must NOT let the vice president know of your current situation. So you must ACT like Sakura. BE Sakura. Since YOU'RE Sakura."

"Bite me." He retorted angrily and fidgeted. The pad was annoying him to hell. How do girls live with those kind of stuff stuck in between their legs. And the cramps. Oh the cramps. How they hurt. It's like being bombarded with nuclear bombs four times straight.

Suddenly, he seemed to have grown a huge amount of respect for women.

"If you don't…I'll tell every people in Konoha that you had to wear a pad." Kakashi threatened.

"Damn you to hell…"

End of Flashback

"I'm fine thank you." Sasuke said politely through gritted teeth and gently took the vice president's arm off of him. He then shot the rest of his snickering teammates a glare and crossed his arms. "Happy now?"

"Very." They chorused.

Inner Sakura inside Sasuke: Hell Yeah!! Feel my pain!! DIE UCHIHA BASTARD!!

It wasn't until in the afternoon when they arrived at the last landmark for them to reach Rock Country.

"Alright people. We'll take a rest before we cross the bridge. After that, we'll arrive at the borders of Rock Country. All of you be careful, there are a lot of ninja rogues around these parts of the border." Kakashi cautioned and dismissed them.

"Oww…my feet hurt." Naruto whined and sat down on a nearby rock.

"Quit whining dobe. You're not the one who's experiencing cramps." Sasuke muttered.

"You see Uchiha?! All the pain we have to go through! Now you should start giving females some slack. Now let's go somewhere so I could change your pads. Or else, you'll have a leak and ruin my reputation for good." Sakura fussed.

"It sucks being a girl.." Sasuke sighed and got up from where he was.

"Hey being a girl is awesome!!" Sakura declared loudly.

"Is it just me Kakashi-san… or do all Uchihas strongly support women's rights?" Yutaka commented in amazement as he observed the three from a distance.

"Ehehehe…Sasuke and Sakura are really tight. And he's always trying to cheer Sakura up when 'ahem' comes." Kakashi lied with a laugh. He then sighed inaudibly and rubbed his temples. If only the lie was real. Then his life would be so much more relaxing.

"Let's go Uchiha." Sakura ushered Sasuke and dragged him into the forest nearby.

"This is so humiliating." Sasuke sighed again as he tried to cling onto his last bit of ego.

"As if I'm not embarrassed at all!" Sakura snapped. "Close your eyes."

"Like I want to see your body." He sneered and obeyed. He had been extra careful when it came to touching his current body or even looking at the vessel he was in. Likewise for Sakura. Both of them desperately wanted to shower but didn't have the guts to.

Heat and colour rose up on both of their faces as Sakura did the necessary things to treat a normal period. "There, I'm done." She finally announced which seemed like eons to Sasuke.

"That took you long e—"

BOOM!!

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!" They heard Naruto shout.

"Take cover!" Sakura shouted as another explosion occurred near them.

Sasuke dodged as a hoard of sharp weapons came flying at him. Catching a number of those weapons he tossed it back at the users and brought down five ninjas.

"You guys are so annoying!" Sakura shouted and caused a huge earthquake as she dropped one of her leg forcefully onto the ground. "Wow, you have so much chakra Sasuke!"

"No duh! Who do you think I am?! You on the other hand have none! One katon no jutsu and I'm tired as heck!" Sasuke panted.

"That's why there's chakra control you bastard!! I'm a girl remember?! Girl's don't have as much chakra as guys!" Sakura replied angrily and tried out some jutsus that she never had the chance to perform due to the lack of chakra.

"I hate being a girl." Sasuke cursed and kicked an offensive ninja out of the way.

"Like I wanted to be a guy!!" she shouted and fought off four ninjas. However, she was unaware of a fifth one behind her.

"Sasu-I mean Sakura-chan watch out!!" Naruto called and hit the fifth ninja square on the forehead with a kunai. "Whew that was close."

"Thanks Naruto." Sakura did a little salute and performed some genjutsu.

"No problem, but I came to tell you guys that Kakashi needs help! As part of the contract, it's up to us to protect the vice president and his luggages! Kakashi has his hands full trying to protect the squirming asshole but you know how much luggage the asshole has. I can't protect all of them myself!" Naruto explained quickly and they all followed after him.

A quest to protect the charges belongings... Yipee…not…

I hate this job… All three of them thought in unison. No matter how many ninjas they defeated, more and more just kept on coming with explosives.

"Why. Do. We. Have. To. Protect. His. Shits. Anyway?!" Sakura growled.

Sasuke wanted to reply but was too tired to do so. The body he was using wasn't capable of putting up with all the fighting techniques he was using. Plus let's not forget, it was having it's period too! Goodie…

Now he knew why girls had to have a good chakra control.

"All of you stop at once!!" A voice boomed out amidst of them.

"Wha?" Naruto and the rest looked up and saw a masked man perched on top of a tree at the ends of the bridge.

"Look closely around you!" The stranger ordered and showed them a remote-control like object. "While you are fighting with my fellow subjects, I surrounded you with explosives. If you don't surrender the vice president over to us, I'll blast you all to pieces!"

"I'm sorry, but we just can't hand over the vice president!" Kakashi answered calmly.

"Yeah! You heard the man! They're not going to surrender me as long as I live!" Yutaka shouted arrogantly.

"Shut up will you?" Naruto barked and glared at the stranger. "What makes you think we can get defeated so easily?!"

"Is that your final answer? Very well then. Goodbye, Konoha ninjas." The stranger cackled and pressed a button on the remote control. Instantly, Sakura summoned up a chakra barrier as the dormant explosives around them exploded.

"Ha! Take that asshole!! We can't get defeated that easily!" Naruto shouted triumphantly as the smoke from the bombs cleared away.

"You sure? Did you think we're that stupid to defeat you with mere bombs. Ninjas from the Rock Country are the elite of the elites! We used the bombs as a decoy and have successfully captured one of your teammates. Meet us at the West Bar once you enter the hidden village of Iwagakure and we'll negotiate there on what to do with the hostage. Till then."

"What the hell is he talking about?" Sakura stated as their enemies disappeared in puffs of smoke.

"I know…none of us have been captured and the vice president is still here." Naruto said in confusion and scratched his head.

"No…" Kakashi started bleakly, "look again Naruto and Sakura. He's gone."

"Huh?"

They looked around.

-

Sakura.

-

Naruto.

-

Kakashi.

-

Yutaka.

-

"...Where the hell was Sasuke?"

Fin.
