title: the bloody one
note: I personally don't understand why some guys (and girls) are weirded out by the sight of, say, a box of tampons. Or heck even the mention of them! I keep mine out in the open because my bathroom is my bathroom so screw catering to anyone else and their fear of glorified sponges.


Sakura tried not to roll her eyes at her teammates. Both were staring at her suspiciously from their places by the window, arms crossed, and lips pulled into straight lines. Apparently they were trying to look intimidating, but after countless nights accompanied by Naruto's snoring and Sasuke's drooling, she wasn't particularly fazed by them.

"I'm going for a walk," she said, stepping towards the door instead.

"A walk?"

Sakura scowled at Sasuke's raised eyebrow. "Yes. A walk."

Naruto shook his head and pointed at her. "But you're wearing your short shorts again!"

"…THEY AREN'T THAT SHORT." Sakura took a deep breath to try calming herself down. "Listen, I know you think I lied last time—"

"You did lie last time."

"—but I am legitimately going for a walk this time."

Neither boy was moved.

"To the drug store, that is," she clarified. "It's like last time when I walked to the park because I did not lie."

Naruto leaned against the door when he saw her grab the knob. "But why are you going to the drug store, Sakura-chan?"

"Because I am!" Sakura hissed. Now was so not the time for an interrogation, but her teammates were idiots and couldn't read body language unless they were in the middle of a battle.

"I see," Sasuke drawled. "Then if you're just going to the drug store, I don't suppose you'd mind if we came along?"

"Oh, for the love of—" Sakura took another deep breath but its soothing effect was lost on her. She counted to ten before smiling at them sweetly. "You know what? Sure. You can totally tag along. Or, even better, you can go for me and I'll just stay up in this dinky little hotel room because you two think I'm going to do something horrible!"

Sasuke smirked when Naruto called her bluff. "Sure thing, Sakura-chan. What do you want?"

She grinned maniacally.

"Tampons."
