Chapter 8: Mission! And Hormones?

"Ok, so everyone's ready?" Kakashi asked
"Hai" Sakura and Naruto said while Sasuke and I stood there, not caring.
"What, leaving without me?" I heard someone say from behind us.
"Sai! When did you get back?" I asked while giving him a quick friendly hug.
"Yesterday arvo," he said smiling while slightly returning my hug. He's not very good at warm emotions still. I thought I sensed Sasuke glare at me and Sai when I gave him a hug. I quickly glanced back to Sasuke to see if he did. He wasn't even looking at us so I just thought it was a figment of my imagination and let it slide.
"So, are you ready?" Kakashi asked Sai
He nodded
"WHAT! You knew he was back but didn't tell us?!" Naruto half yelled.
Kakashi sighed, "Sai was tired from his mission, Naruto. He wouldn't have been able to come to the party."
Naruto was about to protest
"You!" I heard Sasuke snarl to Sai
Sai turned to Sasuke. He then cockily smirked... God did that remind me of Sasuke.
"Well, well, wellll. I see we don't have to do any more rescue/retrieval missions for you anymore." He said smugly.
Sasuke started to get a vein pop out of his head in rage.
More bickering was about to happen between them two. "Ok you two. Talk while we walk." Kakashi interrupted while pulling out his pervy book, leading the way to where ever we were heading to.

A couple of hours into the mission.
"..Hey, Kakashi-sensei. What mission is this anyway?" Sakura asked once she ran up to him
"Ohh you know, just a simple D-ranked mission delivering a scroll to The Hidden Village Of Cloud. We shouldn't come across any trouble," he said not looking up from his book.
"OHHHH, MANNNNN! Why are we doing such a lame D-ranked mission?" Naruto whined.
"Sigh, so the team can get used to working together as a team again. Anyway, this mission would be more like a C-ranked mission, but because of our number it was degraded," he stated bored.
Naruto got a dumb founded look on his face, like: why would we need team work? Sort of look.
"Of course, Naruto, teamwork" Sakura chirped in. "It's been so long since I- I mean we worked with Sasuke-kun" she said getting a dreamy look in her eyes.
I rolled my eyes while Sasuke ignored her. Kakashi nodded, agreeing with Sakura about the teamwork bit.
"So how long is this going to take?" Naruto asked.
"..." Kakashi didn't reply
"Hello? HELLO!"
"Oh, did you say something?" Kakashi finally looked at Naruto, bored.
Naruto got a sweat drop on the back of his head "I SAID HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE?!"
"About three weeks if we're fast." Kakashi glanced up from his book.
Naruto fell flat on his face "ABOUT THREE WEEKS!?" He yelled. "I DIDN'T EVEN PACK ENOUGH UNDERWEAR!"
Kakashi got a sweat drop from embarrassment.
"Quiet down, Baka!" Sasuke said while glaring at Naruto
"WHO'S THE BAKA, YOU BAKA!" Naruto started to glare back
"YEAH, SHUT UP NARUTO! LISTEN TO SASUKE-KUN, HE'S ALWAYS RIGHT!" Sakura then slogged Naruto across the head.
"OK GUYS, now who's going to win this glaring match? In the left hand corner is the fan girl attractor, Sasuke... And in the right hand corner is next Hokage with a great personality, NARUTO-KUN." I said "COME ON BETS OVER HERE!"
Sasuke shot me a quick glare about how I mumbled his name. I stuck my tongue out to him.
.:SASUKE'S VIEW:.
Sigh, well at least she called me Sasuke instead of Uchiha. I thought while I went back to glaring at Naruto.
.:JADE'S VIEW:.
"Haha. Back to old times" I heard Kakashi sigh while shaking his head.
I widely smiled. "You know you missed this," I stated being slightly happy, for once in a long time.

Night time.
"So I presume I'm sharing a tent with you again?" I smiled to Sai. We usually shared a tent now because we usually get sent on missions together; so after a while we decided that it would be easier and lighter if one of us carried the tent while the other carried the food/equipment. Thus helping us to not lose our speed... And anyways, I don't really have a tent anymore... because of someone! I shot a quick glare at Sasuke.
"Of course," he said as I was helping him set up his tent.
I felt someone staring at me. I turned around to see Sasuke staring at me. I lifted an eyebrow in question, asking him what he's staring at.

.:SASUKE'S VIEW:.
WHAT THE HELL? Why are they sharing a tent?! I asked myself while Jade lifted an eyebrow for why I was looking at her.
Kakashi must have noticed us, "they usually share a tent Sasuke. Allot has changed since you've been gone."
My eyes slightly widen in shock. Are they going out? I asked myself. As soon as the shock came on my face it went away.
He caught onto my unasked question answering it, "Sigh. Ok, well they usually do missions together. They are 2 of the finest shinobi in our village-," Behind Kakashi's mask I saw him happily smile... He must be proud of them. I sighed to myself while rolling my eyes. "-So they started to share a tent together, when they started going on two man missions, so it would be less trouble for them to carry more weight." He answered, like them sharing a tent was nothing important. THEY ARE A BOY AND A GIRL ALONE IN THE SAME TENT! ...Did I just think that? I twitched.
"Hn," I said emotionless. I turned back around to glare at Sai for sharing a tent with Jade.
"AWWW! IS SASGAY JELIOUS FOR JADE GETTING TO SHARE A TENT WITH SAI AND NOT YOU ANYMORE, LIKE YOUS USED TO?!" Naruto boasted.
Gaahhhhhh stupid baka he is! I scoffed at what he said, and then went to set up my tent.
"Need any help Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked
I ignored her. She left after I kept ignoring her for a while. She probably went off to sulk. Hopefully she will leave me alone now! I smirked about the thought of her not bothering me anymore.

.:SAKURA'S VIEW:.
'ERRRRR, I COULD KILL THAT JADE! HOW DARE SHE THINK ANY GUY WOULD FALL FOR HER! NO WAY SHES GOING TO GET MY SASUKE-KUN! CHA!'

.:SASUKE'S VIEW:.
Later on, sitting around the campfire.
I kept watching Naruto, Jade and Sai talk, joke and laugh together while Sakura was sitting beside me like a lost dog. I closed my eyes trying to block everything out... It was not working. All I could was Sakura still trying to talk to me like I'm talking back to her, and could also still hear Jade laughing and having a great time with SAAIII! Blehh! I shot my eyes open because I knew it wouldn't work for me to even try to block out everyone's fucken noise. Can't people learn to shut up?! I angrily asked myself.
The problem was when my eyes opened I got the sight of Jade and Sai again. My eyebrow started to twitch. I glared at them while crossing my arms. What is this feeling anyway...? I'm just annoyed from everyone talking. Yeah, that's it. I told myself
"Pfft" I said when I closed my eyes, getting up from my sitting spot to go to my tent. I am going to sleep! Maybe that will calm my nerves!

.:KAKASHI'S VIEW:.
I've been glancing up from my book a couple of times to see that most of my team was fine and happy. But sometimes when I saw Sasuke either he was glaring or staring at Sai and Jade.
Sigh. Hehe he's jealous.
Seeing all this stuff happening with my team is almost as good as my book... ALMOST.
I quickly went back to reading my book again:
'Merchel don't go.' I pleaded
'Why John why?' she cried
'Because, because I'm pregnant with your child!'
HUH? I swear my eyes just popped out of their sockets by reading that, what dose he mean he's pregnant...? Oh well back to reading it. I've got to know what happens next!:
Her eyes got huge in shock. 'Really?" her eyes softened.
'...Well not really, but if I was a girl I would wish I was pregnant with your child just so you would stay with me!' I begged her
'Ohh, John.' She sighed lovingly while she ran over to me. We started to kiss, and then things got hot. We started to-'
Ohhh a new pick up line! I can use this hehe..

.:JADE'S VIEW:.
I watched Sasuke out of the corner of my eye as I saw him walk off to his tent in a I'm-a-stuck-up-bastard-who's-aloud-to-be-angry huff... Geez. What's up his butt? Is he...? No, no he couldn't, could he? I asked myself, even though I knew I wouldn't get an answer. I let my silly thought slide. Once I did I noticed I was really tired, I decided to follow suite in what Sasuke did. "Yawn! Well I'm off to bed, nighty night. Later."

About one and a half weeks later. Last morning to camp out in nature till we would get to the village we were heading to. During this time I had noticed Sasuke was getting crabbier, snapper and moodier then ever...it was really annoying!

I was walking and talking with Sai again when I heard Sasuke snap back at Sakura about something, ending her to go off and sulk further from the group... Which was not a good idea while we were traveling.
I rolled my eyes. I finally decided to go up to Sasuke and ask what was wrong; maybe it's a miracle and he's started to pms... But that would mean he'd have hormones...and, then, that would mean he should be starting to take an interest in the opposite sex! Well, maybe not the opposite sex, but a sex!
I blinked a few times from that thought while shaking my head to clear it... As if he would be gay! And AS IF he would be interested in anyone anyway! Anyway he's a guy, they can't have pms.
I rolled my eyes. I don't even know why I'm going to talk to him... Well I guess I don't really hate him now, but I don't like him either. So I guess it is ok for me to 'sort of' talk to him, right?... Hn, but how he's be acting for the past few days isn't really helping him for me to like him as a friend again... That's if he ever wanted to be...

I had left Sai and now was walking besides Sasuke. He was still deep in thought as I was beside him. Finally, once he noticed I was there, he quickly glanced at me with a cold stare... It wasn't a glare, but it was still slightly harsh and cold. His eyes held mixed emotions that I couldn't understand.
"What's wrong?" I asked bluntly.
"Nothing," He snapped, now slightly glaring at me.
I glared back at him... He's pushing my buttons for me to ever like him again. I thought "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Shorter temper these days I see!" I said in a huff.
I walked away from him to keep my distance away from him! Never being nice to him again... Jerk!

I started walking with my eyes closed, and my arms crossed in annoyance and anger.
Asswipe!

"Oof!" I hit someone making me fall. Ahhhh. I mentally thought. Great!
I was waiting for the impact of dirt to hit my face, with my eyes shut tight waiting for the pain, but the ground never came. Instead I felt strong, warm arms around me, preventing me from falling. I peeked one eye open to see who caught me... It was the one and only, Sasuke.
He smirked, "watch where you're going next time."
He helped me up, "errr, yeaaah, I'll try." I pouted.
He rolled his eyes, "whatever. Anyway, we're here."
