Well this was the time where there was nothing but love in the air. Ino finally stopped nagging long enough for shikamaru to propose to her. Hinata summed up the courage to TALK to Naruto, which led to their first date. Tenten went out on a date with Lee and she noticed her mistake and ran to Neji. And lastly, Sasuke was becoming fond of a girl in his clan. Sakura only knew this because Sasuke actually says words to her. (Fyi Uchihas never speak unless important).
And now Sakura here is all alone. Yes poor Sakura Haruno taking extra shifts at the hospital to make myself busy. But little did she know someone very curious wanted to make a permanent appearance in her life...
"I LOVE FUCKIN' HAPPY HOUR!" Shisui screamed as he chugged down his sixth shot. His face was becoming very red and Itachi knew he was going to have to drag him back to the compound.
"No more for you mister", said Itachi enforcing it with his assertive voice.
"Aww why not! Their fucking half off man. Let's put it to a vote" said Shisui turning to the others at the table " Do you guys thin-" "NO" shouted the other three.
"You've had way too much and its not even 3 yet" muttered Kakashi with a bored expression on his face as he tuned a page in his favorite book.
"I wonder what would happen if he had a little more" smiled Genma "Maybe he'd be drunk enough to dance naked on the table or mayb-"
" I don't think I want to see any of THAT!" Groaned Asuma. Everyone seconded that opinion with a stiff nod.
These five friends were grouped together by their experience and training. Over time the guys just felt at ease being with one another. There was no need to make friends when the guys sitting next to you shared the same hardships and battle scars. They all just seemed to click.
Years had gone by and everyone and I mean everyone was starting to settle down. Kakashi finally shacked up with Anko after "dating" (And by dating, I mean responding to each other's phone calls at night). Asuma married Kurenai and they had a child on the way. Genma just recently married Shizune. Shushui will forever and always be players so do not worry about him. Itachi had... experience with all kinds of crazy, psychotic girls. All he wanted was for one to test him. He LOVED challenges.
While the guys were rambling on about tupperware and sex. Itachi wondered how the toughest, smartest people in Konoha could think of something so platonic.
It was a good chance to interrupt them now from the subject at hand. Itachi stared at his drink and murmured, "What do you guys think about Sakura Haruno?"
