Birth control.

OOOOooooo

So I've been busy...with Down Under and Counting Stars...and college...yeah...also my lack of inspiration for one shots. But I'm trying to get back into it.

I probably should add that most of these are based on some personal experiences that I've had (try to guess which ones and I'll tell you a story bout my crazy love life lol)

Anyway, here is another request that required some research... But all in all it was kinda difficult to write due to the request (it was specific so...yeah)

OOOOoooooooooooooo

Tenten looked at the objects before her. What the fuck was that?! She stared wide eyed at the pink package on the shelf. Temari picked it up and examined the back of it. It was an insertion, she told her. Tenten groaned and kept looking at the shelf. She had dragged one of her closer friend to help her shop for birth control products. Her relationship with the Hyuga genius has become very...intimate lately. They have been very close to having sex many times, but the fear of the worse (being Tenten gets pregnant and both their parents kill them) caused her to reject him; unwillingly. Temari was definitely a better choice to discuss this topic with than the other girls and talking to her mother about it would be very embarrassing and cause unwanted questions to arise. Plus, Temari was a good year older than her and was in a secure relationship with Shikamaru Nara, the second smartest kid they knew.

"A female condom is just as affective as a male one." Temari said.

Tenten made a face. She didn't like that idea, especially if she had to buy sperm killing cream and take time to insert it. Seeing her insert it may cause the mood to go down, and Neji to soften. So they kept looking. More male condoms...and-

"What is that? It looks like a cap." Tenten said picking up a green box.

"Another insertion, great, only this time I have to put it in 4 hours before we have sex..." The bun head grumbled.

"Honestly, most of this stuff isn't too bad from what was done back in the day." Temari said picking up a box of lubricant.

Tenten sighed.

"Was insertions the only way? It's uncomfortable..."

Temari shrugged. There used to be a method that a mixture of crocodile dung, honey and other things were used as a sealant. Tenten cringed. How nasty...she thought. Another one, Temari continued, was using soda. Tenten cocked an eyebrow.

"To kill the sperm. But you know, didn't work." Temari shrugged.

Then there was the ancient Chinese way, which most likely led to death. The women would drink led or Mercury in believing they'd become infertile. However, it causes brain, liver and heart problems which all led to death. The bun head clenched her jaw, she forgot Temari was in that special health class at the university.

"Sex is so not worth that..." Tenten groaned.

"Well, it's not sex for you and him." The blonde said grabbing a few bottles of lube and condoms.

"Enlighten me..." Tenten murmured.

"Since you two have been together for a good year or so, it's obvious he's crazy about you. It'll be more of making love than just sex." Temari explained.

Tenten thought about it for a moment. It was true, she thought.

"Have you seen a GYN yet?"

"No, I'm still a virgin remember?" The brunette sighed. "Why?"

Temari blinked. That would've been the best person the talk about this kind of stuff with. But that would mean going through her mother to make an appointment. And she doesn't wanna do that.

"At least you didn't ask Ino. That girl told me the most ridiculous thing the other day I almost punched her." Temari said.

Ino had told her about this myth that if you put a weasel bone on your leg and the weasel wraps around your thigh, you won't get pregnant.

"Or something like that. I was too shocked to hear the explanation." Temari rolled her eyes.

Tenten laughed, that was exactly as it was; a myth.

"I'm just thankful we have condoms." The blonde mused.

"You have...so many." Tenten sweat dropped.

"Of course. Sometimes men try to be sexy and rip open the condom with their teeth, but if they're not careful they could rip the condom itself. So you always buy a shit ton."

Tenten picked up the same box her friend had. Her head tilted to the side as she read the label. They were flavored condoms, she read. Mostly used for-

"Since when do you have oral sex?!"

Temari swatted the box out of her hands and cleared her throat.

"It's a form of foreplay. They make it more...tolerable."

Tenten looked at her. That was one thought that she now had to use bleach to remove. Puffing out her chest, Temari continued to browse, going over the chalk list in her head.

"You haven't gotten anything for yourself." Tenten commented.

"I'm on the shot."

Tenten cocked her head to the side. Temari sighed but explained. She gets a shot every three months that prevents her from ovulating. And with that she doesn't get her periods. But sometimes she takes a break from the shot, and allows her body to go through that suffering.

"It's like the pill, except less of a hassle."

"I can imagine."

"I think you should get the patch." Temari said.

"I'm worried that my skill will reject it." Tenten said. "And I'm not gonna remember to take the pill everyday at the same time. Plus all those side effects are scary as hell. I don't want holes in my kidneys."

Temari sweat dropped and laughed a little.

"That's rare. But one think about birth control that many people don't know is that it doesn't work automatically. It takes at least three months for your body to get fully adjusted to it. I started my second year of high school and it we terrible. I gained like three pounds since my appetite grew. My spotting was irregular; I felt like shit." Temari said. "But after like a few months it got better. But my sex drive was pretty low."

"Really?" Tenten's eyebrows shot up.

"Every girl is different. It all depends on your body, Ten. The worst that could happen is that he needs to put a little more effort or get a toy. It's nothing major. But remember if you start the patch; AT LEAST THREE MONTHS. Don't assume it works just like that. A lot of my friends have children now because they didn't know that."

Tenten nodded sheepishly.

"But the best birth control," the blonde continued. "Is not having sex at all."

The bun head groaned. If that was the case, she might have to talk to her mom about getting those patches. She didn't want the shot, it meant a trip to the doctor every three months. Luckily her insurance paid for birth control (her aunt had pressed that into her mind a while back with a wink) so she didn't have to worry about money. The appointment was the problem. How was she going to bring that up? "Hey mom, Neji and I are gonna start having been sex I should get birth control." She shook her head. She should probably go through her aunt. They walked to the cash register. Pulling out her wallet, Temari paid for her items and they walked to her car.

"I don't understand though." She said as she turned on the engine.

"Hm?"

"If you have no problem putting in a cork and taking it out covered in your vagina blood, why don't you like insertions?" The blonde asked.

Tenten shrugged. Tampons are what her and her friends called the "cork" (since that's what it does technically...). Honestly she had no idea. Probably because it's for a different cause and is barely noticeable once there.

"Growing up sucks..." She grumbled.
