Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Duh.

Rated M for safety due to mature language and themes. That said, put down any drinks. You've been warned.


It should be a well-known fact that everyone has limits. Even the most patient people will snap if pushed hard enough. The point is that even the longest fuse has to go off eventually.


"Damnit. I don't get why she has to be so bitchy."

"Kiba!"

"Come on, Naruto! You can't say Sakura isn't bitchier when she's frustrated about something! I've seen the lumps on your head to prove it!" Sasuke gave Kiba a pointed glare while his girlfriend bristled and Hinata fussed over the newest bruise on the blonde's forehead. The avenger wasn't too tempted to hold her back if she decided to trounce the dog-nin. Again.

"Troublesome."

"And you, Shika! Temari rides your ass and you know it!"

"Psh, troublesome." Said ninja just curled an arm around his scowling girlfriend's waist. He liked living, thankyouverymuch.

"Geez, why is it girls have to be so bitchy! I mean come on, is it really necessary to hit a guy to get your point across?!"

"Kiba, shut your trap!"

"And there's the proof!"

Tenten gave a rather convincing growl if Akamaru's wince was anything to go by. And it looked like even Neji was a bit perturbed by the sound.

"The only girl I ever met that didn't use brute force to wrangle her boyfriend into something is Hinata and she probably smacks him when no one's watching."

"SHUT UP!"

Ladies and gentlemen, the fuse has finally run out.

The smallest, most meek member of the combined squads talked forward, grabbed the dog-nin by the ear and yanked him down to her eye level, much to his gaping shock.

"You loud mouthed, ignorant, pain-in-the-ass, prick! You bitch more than all of the girls from the Rookie 9, Team Gai and Team Suna COMBINED! And for reference, you try bleeding out your ass for a week every month and see how happy-go-fucking-lucky you are!" Scowling in a way to make Neji jealous she let go of Kiba's ear only to smack him over the head with her other hand before growling and stalking back to a rather stunned Naruto.

Huffing a bit to herself and tugging her top straight she seemed calmer by the time she had her boyfriend's hand back in her's. "Naruto? Can we go get something to eat please?"

"After that you can have anything you want!" The grin on his face seemed as intense as the rather red blush covering Hinata's face.

The rest of them could only stare where the couple had exited moments later. Kiba was still so stunned he had yet to get his face out of the new hole in the floor. Neji was staring slack-jawed at the spot his cousin had just been. Shikamaru was so surprised he didn't notice cigarette had gone out and was dangling from his lower lip. Sasuke was absent from his normal disdainful look and instead looked almost curious. Tenten, Temari, and Sakura all traded glances before bursting out in laughter. Kissing their stunned boyfriends on the cheek they followed the pair's example and left for some much deserved fun.

The boys shared a slightly worried look after they were gone.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"… Kiba, you're an idiot."

Kiba faceplanted into the floor again.

In the corner Akamaru gave a doggie snicker. Humans.
