Title: Odd Bet

Couples: Shika/Hina

Summary: Tsunade is out for a drink. Nobody can stop this woman, until she sees the two young kids entering the restaurant.

Odd Bet

"Jeez, when you said you needed to talk, you meant spending all my money right?" asked an annoyed Jiraiya as he stared at the blond who was pouring a bottle of sake in a cup. He noticed the glare that she was giving him. It was after all his fault that she was here. Stuck doing work.

"If you didn't bring me here, I would be peacefully enjoying my life," the old blond woman hissed. "I wouldn't be stuck in the Hokage Tower twenty four seven."

"Uh…"

The man, Jiraiya, was currently nervous. Once she was drunk, who knows what this woman would do to him. It was his fault for brining her here in Konoha to become Hokage. The elders had first asked him but he boldly decided to bring Tsunade, the current Fifth, to be the Hokage. He was currently fearing her since she was in a bad mood. He could have chosen to be the Hokage but knew that it was too much work. People can call him a coward if they knew his real reasons. Then again, nobody has to know.

Feeling a bit awkward he felt the woman drink more, so that she would feel the pain in her head stop. It was all due to the work that she was doing as the Hokage. The white haired man heard her sigh. Then he suddenly noticed that she was grinning at something so Jiraiya took the opportunity to take a glance at what made the Fifth have a dreamy expression.

"It's funny how history repeats itself," the blond said as she took a sip and looked at the two young kids entering the restaurant.

Jiraiya looked at the kids then back at Tsunade. He raised an eyebrow, "Oh? How so?"

Tsunade gave a small pout.

'Yeah, she's drunk alright… crap I have to carry her later on,' he grumbled as he noticed her mood expression change. He mentally grinned as he began to think of a way to take some 'revenge' on the Fifth for brining him here to spend all his money on her. Maybe touching her would piss her off… Then again he wanted revenge that wouldn't put his life on the line.

"Look at them… just like their teachers."

Jiraiya blinked and looked back at the kids who were currently ordering food to take out. He recognized the short blue haired petit girl as she was standing next to a pineapple head boy. That girl had a major crush on his pupil, Uzumaki Naruto. How did he know? Well he once was walking Naruto home and he had caught her staring at him and blushing. It was cute to see young ones so active at this time of year. However, he didn't know that the girl had a boyfriend already. What was she? Twelve? At a young age none the less!

"I recognize the girl, whose the other kid?" asked Jiraiya to Tsunade, who was currently carefully watching the two.

"Nara Shikamaru. He was the only Genin that passed the Chunin exams this year," Tsuande took another sip of the sake that was inside the cup. "He is Asumas' student. Guess the girls teacher, Jiraya."

Jiraiya rubbed his chin and began to think. "Hmm. Can't be Kakashi… don't tell me it's Gai…"

Tsuande could slap him right there and then but decided not to make a scene. So instead she decided to tell him. "Kurenai's"

All of a sudden Tsunade saw a grinning expression on Jiraiya. The damn pervert was thinking of something inappropriate in front of her! Jiraiya noticed the sudden mood change and quickly tried to forget the image of a sexy Kurenai wearing a white and red bikini. She could kill him if he told her what he was imagining at that time. Good thing he wasn't that honest to Tsunade…

"Just what the hell do you think you're imagining?" growled the Fifth Hokage. She could sentence him to death if she wanted to. Put him as a missing nin or a traitor and the whole village would be after him. She would do it but she was to damn tired to do it. Besides she needed her punching bag to be alive still, all her stress was making her go insane.

"Uh… SO! What do you mean history repeats itself?" he asked quickly. He was trying to change the subject so that he wont get killed by a furious Tsunade. Oh how he still had that big bruise when she first punched him. It was still there … after thirty years.

Tsunade calmed down and poured herself another drink. "Look at them. Teacher like student. They both have fallen for each other subconsciously."

"Heh?" Jiraiya looked doubtful. "I doubt it. The girl has a huge crush on Naruto… unless the other kid is her boyfriend."

"Doubt it. It will take a few years for them to notice their innocent love for each other."

"And how would you know this?"

"Call it a woman instinct."

Jiraiya frowned. "I bet she'll go for Naruto."

Tsunade grinned. "I bet she will go for Naruto."

Jiraiya made a face. 'That's cheating Tsunade…'

The two teenagers at the store sneezed at the very same time. Hinata blinked while Shikamaru scratched his nose. Both looked at each other and then they shrugged it off. Just who the hell were the people that were talking about them behind their back?
