Chapter 17
Jinrou POV
It was nice to finally be in my own body again. We were back in Konoha and I was getting irritated. All Sasuke and Naruto ever did since we got back was fight and it was more intense than before. I rolled my eyes as I stood next to Sakura and watched them. I played with my long hair. It was starting to be a pain with how my body changed. My clothes didn't fit as comfortably anymore. They were too tight and too loose in all the wrong places. Most of my shirts showed some of my stomach since I got taller. I sighed and leaned against the railing of the bridge where we were supposed to meet sensei. They were glaring at each other again.
"Will you two just cut it out already?" I asked exasperatedly. They turned to look at me.
"Cut what out?" They both asked then glared at each other again. I walked forward and stood between them.
"You guys need to stop fighting and get your shit together." I reprimanded. They both stared at me then went back to glaring at each other. "What are you even fighting about?" I asked them giving up and crossing my arms.
"Naruto's just mad because you kissed me first." Sasuke sneered.
"No, she kissed me first! See, she even bit my lip a bit!" Naruto said jutting his lower lip out. Sure enough, it was slightly bruised from my teeth.
"It wasn't me, it was Sakura." I said pointing at her. They looked at her shocked and paled.
"No it wasn't!" Sakura yelled at me. I giggled. After that Naruto and Sasuke went back to glaring at each other. I sighed and just sat on the railing. I pulled my shirt down a bit to not show my belly button. This shirt used to fit me nicely. Used to. I was wearing some dark blue shorts that now ended right under my butt, a blue shirt that ended right above my belly button, and black leather combat boots that went up to my knees. My long hair was up in a pony tail minus my bangs. I huffed and threw my body backwards. I kept my knees bent and locked on the railing as I hung upside down. I crossed my arms and looked at the water bellow.
'Hey Ookami?' I asked.
'Yeeeees?' She hummed.
'You know about guys right?' I asked.
'Yup, why?' She responded.
'Why are Sasuke and Naruto acting so weird?' I asked her. She chuckled.
'Ah, Jinrou.' She sighed giggling like a school girl. 'You kids are at an age when your bodies start changing and you begin to feel different things. You will want to-' I almost fell off the bridge as my knees went weak and slid off. I yelped and managed to hold on to the bottom of the bridge with my hand.
'Ookami! What the hell?! I don't wanna have a sex talk!' I screamed in my head. She was just giggling. My face was a bright shade of crimson. I let out some chakra and made it into a ladder. I climbed up the ladder and dusted myself off. I made my chakra go away and sighed.
"What's wrong Jinrou?" Sakura asked.
"Ookami just tried giving me... the talk." I said looking away embarrassed. Suddenly Kakashi sensei appeared.
"Sorry I'm late, I was lost on the path of life." He said grinning.
"You already used that excuse!" We yelled at him. He just shrugged. He pointed at me.
"Jinrou, what's up with your clothes?" He asked tilting his head.
"Well, since my body grew, none of my clothes fit me as well anymore. And I'm not about to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe, so I'm going to have to deal with it." I said crossing my arms as a vein ticked in my forehead. He nodded. "Are we gonna train today?" I asked him as I uncrossed my arms.
"I'm just here to tell you guys that we'll be having another mission in a few days. So train hard." He said before leaving again. All our jaws dropped.
"We waited here for so long, just so he could tell us that?!" I yelled exasperatedly. I shook my head and began to walk away.
"Hey, Jinrou! Can I ask you something?" Sakura called. I turned around and the boys were staring curiously at her.
"Yeah?" I asked walking back to her.
"Why did your body change anyway?" She asked me curiously and with a hint of envy. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I dunno." Was my smart response. She scowled. "What? You jealous?" I teased her giggling. She just huffed and crossed her arms.
"Whatever, I'm leaving." She said walking away. "Hey Sasuke, you wanna go do something together?" She asked him with excited eyes. He shook his head.
"No." He began to walk away on the opposite direction. Naruto walked so he was next to me.
"Hey Jinrou, what do ya wanna do?" He asked smiling at me. I shrugged.
"I dunno, I was hoping to be able to train for a bit on my own." I said thoughtfully. He nodded but looked kinda let down.
"Oh. Okay. Well, I'll see you later then." He said starting to walk away. I nodded.
"Yeah, I'll see you later at home." I said and disappeared into blue smoke. I appeared at the waterfall and smiled. I began to train.
~later that night~
I managed to drag myself back home. I went in and Naruto was eating ramen.
"Hey." I said as I plopped down on the couch.
"What happened to you?" Naruto asked worried.
"Training." I mumbled closing my eyes.
"You just wanna go to bed?" He asked me. I nodded.
"But my body refuses to move from the comfort of the couch." I said frowning. He laughed and walked to me. Suddenly, I felt arms pick me up. I opened my eyes sleepily and saw Naruto carrying me bridal style. I snuggled closer to him.
"Go ahead and go to sleep." He said laying me down somewhere soft.
"Thanks." I slurred and fell into a relaxing sleep. The next morning I woke up next to a warm body. I hugged that body closer trying to go back to sleep.
"Morning sun shine." Naruto said laughing. I scrunched my eyebrows and rolled around.
"I don't wanna wake up yet." I grumbled childishly and buried myself under the covers.
"Well you have to, it's time to get up." He responded.
"Says who?" I asked.
"I do." He said smugly. He threw the covers off of me and gasped.
"What?" I asked trying to get under the covers again.
"Oh my god! Jinrou! You're hurt!" He cried.
"Huh? No I'm not." I said looking down and my eyes widened. There was blood everywhere! It made the white sheets a bright crimson. My jaw dropped open and I blushed.
'Oh, seems like it's started for you.' Ookami said.
'Great, just great. I've only heard stories about this, I guess it's my turn to experience it.' I muttered.
"I-I'm not hurt." I told Naruto. I got up and looked at myself. There was blood all over my shorts and between my legs.
"Then why are you bleeding so much?!" He asked freaked out. I blushed even darker. I looked down so my bangs would cover my eyes.
"It's a girl thing." I muttered pathetically.
"Wha- oooh." He said finally getting it. I bit my lip as tears threatened to fall. How humiliating! He tilted my chin up. He was blushing too but acted as if he didn't notice. "Hey, it's okay. It's normal right? You'll be fine." He said reassuringly. I hugged him tightly and pressed myself closely to him.
"You're so sweet." I said as a few tears fell.
"You'll be back to normal in a few days." He said smiling as he hugged me back. I pulled back and glared at him.
"What do you mean 'back to normal'?! There's nothing wrong with me, I didn't ask for this you jerk!" I yelled at him and stomped my way to the bathroom, slamming the door closed as I entered. I showered and made sure to get all the blood off me.
'You'll need womanly products.' Ookami said. I froze.
'But I don't have anything like that. Where do I even get stuff like that?' I asked her as I stepped out of the shower.
'Well for starters, you'll need...'
I stood in front of the store with the list of things I need crumpled in my hand. I was wearing some jeans, a t-shirt, a hoodie, and sneakers. I gulped as I stood in front of the innocent looking store.
'Go on, you can do it.' Ookami whispered encouragingly to me. I nodded before stepping in. I went directly to the isle with all the... feminine products. I had my shopping basket in my hand as I looked for what to get.
"Jinrou?" Someone asked. I turned around and saw Sakura in some sweats and a t-shirt.
"Oh, hey Sakura." I said shuffling my feet. Another woman with pink hair stood behind her.
"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked looking down.
"Probably the same thing as you." I said as I saw her mom picked out a few things. She looked up with tears in her eyes looking relieved.
"Really?" She asked hopeful. I nodded biting my lip.
"Your first time?" I asked her. She nodded.
"And you?" She asked. I also nodded. We looked at each other and smiled. We suddenly ran at each other and hugged.
"I'm so glad I don't have to go through this alone!" We both said tearfully. She held my hand.
"It's just be so hard for you, since you don't have anyone to guide you. I mean, you have Ookami but I'm sure it's not the same as having someone physically there." She said. I nodded.
"Thank you for understanding." I said smiling happily. I went and grabbed a few things and we held hands as we walked to the cashier.
"You know, we could go to my house? I have icecream, chocolate, and a bunch of movies I've been meaning to watch." She said. I looked at her with waterfall tears.
"You would really let me come over?" I asked happily. Her eyes got watery.
"Of course I would. We girls have to stick together." She said holding up her fist. I fist bumped with her.
"You're right!" I said as I paid for my things.
~the cashier with Sakura's mom~
"Is it their first time?" She whispered. Sakura's mother nodded sweat dropping.
Naruto POV
After Jinrou stormed off saying she needed to go buy some stuff, Sasuke came in with Kakashi sensei right behind him.
"Hey Naruto, I thought it would be fun to train together and show how much stronger you guys have gotten." Sensei said.
"Oh, that's cool. But Jinrou isn't here right now." I answered.
"Oh, then lets get Sakura then we can all go look for Jinrou." Sensei said and I nodded. We went to Sakura's house and knocked. Her pink haired mother answered.
"Is Sakura home? We were going to do a team training." Kakashi sensei said.
"Oh, Sakura's in but I don't think right now's the best time." Her mom said awkwardly.
"Why, is she sick?" Sensei asked.
"Sort of, take a look for yourself." She said looking sheepish. We walked in and went to Sakura's room. We saw Sakura with Jinrou. They were on Sakura's bed and had a blanket wrapped around them. There were chocolate wrappers on the bed and tissues. They were watching a movie and seemed to be crying. There were two empty cups of icecream on a nightstand.
"See?! Why can't all guys be that perfect?!" Sakura said crying.
"I have no idea! It's so unfair!" Jinrou was also crying. They were holding into each other.
"Um, are you two okay? You seem a little... off." Sasuke said. Sakura's mother looked shocked. She backed away slowly out of the room. They both turned to glare at us with fire in their eyes.
"What do you mean 'off'?! We're perfectly fine!" They both yelled at us.
"Just because we're showing emotion doesn't mean there's something wrong with us!" Sakura screamed.
"You men are so insensitive!" Jinrou yelled. They both began to throw pillows at us.
"Come back when you gain some gentlemanly manners!" They both screamed at us. We closed the door and leaned on it. Sasuke and I looked at each other with wide eyes.
"That, boys, are women on their time of the month. They turn into moody creatures who will one second be smiling happily at you, and beating the crap out of you the next." Kakashi sensei said.
"Yup, already saw that this morning." I mumbled.
"Thanks for the warning." Sasuke muttered freaked out. I nodded.
