He wasn't the alcoholic type. He was more the "I drink tea and proud of it" type. But tonight was different for Jin, being invited for an all you can drink sake bar was hard to pass up.
Even if he did only drink tea.
"Jin, I can't thank you enough for saving my daughter's life. This is the least I could do for you!" Said Mr.Tsukamoto, pouring more sake into his cup.
"No need. And thank you for inviting my…" He paused to look at Mugen, stuffing a pot of dumplings in his throat and Fuu, who was slurping some noodles.
"…Friends?" He finished with a smile.
"Companions, I prefer." Jin whispered, sipping from his cup.
"Hey you bastard, that's your eighth drink!" Mugen said, twitching a brow at the silent samurai.
Jin shot a glare at him, "Your point?" He asked.
Fuu raised her head from her bowl and nodded, "Jin, you never drink this much."
He stood silent and gazed at Fuu. Soup stains on her pink kimono, rain dripping down her neck, and her hair was down. She was cute, no doubt, but she was annoying sometimes. If Jin wanted to drink, it was none of her business.
"I…don't need your s-silly concern." He muttered, waving at Mr.Tsukamoto for a refill.
"We're just worried about you…" Fuu mumbled, her cheeks turning pink as she hung her head.
"Like hell we are." Mugen spat, patting his stomache proudly.
Hours had passed and Jin was still drinking. Mugen grew tired of the smell of beer and dumplings and walked outside, for some 'fresh air'. Fuu knew that there were some prostitutes he had seen earlier outside the bar, so she stayed inside with Jin.
"J-Jin, p-please, you've drunk more than e-enough, it's time to go…" She stuttered.
"I will not leave until my heart is content!" Jin yelled at her, causing the bar to go silent.
She tore herself away from him a bit, "You don't have to yell! I can here from here!"
Suddenly Jin's mad expression turned into a smirk, "Pardon me. I don't yell at cute girls a lot, I'm just dizzy tonight."
Her eye twitched and gazed at him in awe, "What did you s-say?"
He leaned to her, his warm breath like a breeze in her face, "I said you're cute. Shh, don't tell anyone!"
"Jin, are you…sober?" She asked, almost revealing hope in her voice.
He rose from his seat and coughed loudly, "Do you know what? Forget secrecy, I want to let everyone know that."
"What do you…" She stopped when she heard Jin's sandal pound the wooden floors making everyone turn.
"THIS WOMAN IS CUTE!" Jin shouted, laughing cheerfully and blushing slightly.
"Oh no…" Said Fuu.
