Those on the Path Toward Drunkenness

Sakura leaned against the grimy bar and tipped another shot back grimacing slightly at the taste, she tapped the bar causing the bartender to wander over with another sake bottle.

"Leave the bottle." She muttered, the bartender tipped his hat while setting down the sake before walking toward another customer.

Sakura pushed the shot glass away in favor of drinking straight from the bottle.

'Trying to get smashed?' Inner asked her tone annoyingly giddy,

'Oh shut the fuck up,' she growled at herself.

She noticed the strong odor before the man slithered up next to her.

"Hey sexy want to have a drink with me?" The man slurred at her, his breath reeking of puke, Sakura looked at the overweight repulsive excuse for a man who seemed to be leering at what he could see of her breasts, she took a swig from her bottle and glared at the man 'Don't get too crazy, we are trying to keep on the down-low, remember?' inner reminded.

She rolled her eyes and grabbed the mans face and squeezed, "If I wanted to drink with fat drunks then I would have in the first place, now I suggest you fuck off before I smash you so hard into the floor that you will become apart of the fucking bar forever, got it?" She rasped angrily before launching him into a table, she bit her lip angrily when inner started laughing crazily in her head.

Sakura turned back around in her seat and placed enough money to fix the damages onto the bar before the owner had a panic attack, she had just gone back to drinking when she realized inner wasn't the only one laughing at her.

She gripped the bottle tightly her knuckles going white, who the fuck was this joker because she wasn't in the mood.

"What the fuck, are you laughing at?" She asked the man directly on her left, her head moving slightly in his direction. It was too dark to make him out properly but she could tell that the bastard was huge, massive actually, possibly one of the biggest people she had ever come across.

The man turned to her a toothy smile gracing his features; Sakura immediately froze at the blue skin and sharp teeth that met her vision.

"You seem real feisty for a chick with pink hair, Haruno" He replied, his voice reminding her of dark powerful waves crushing against the shore brutally the water wild enough to pull you under and never let you go. Sakura shook off the thoughts and glared at him while he drank his sake casually.

"So, you here to kidnap me Hoshigaki or not?" Sakura asked while downing the rest of her sake "Because I am not going down easy sharky."

She almost punched him in the face when he chuckled at her again "I can see that pinky, but don't worry you are safe today, I am just here to get drunk" He said downing his bottle and ordering two more.

"You want to keep me company?" He flashed her a grin "The bingo book says you are a talker and this place is fucking boring" He casually scooted one of the bottles toward her.

Sakura arched a pink eyebrow before taking the bottle and sniffing it suspiciously, not smelling anything weird she decided to humor him.

"How about we make it interesting?" She replied with a smirk.

He nodded slightly, causing her to grin "Alright how about a drinking contest Hoshigaki? Loser gets a prize?"

Kisame flashed a smile at this and took a swig, "alright but call me Kisame."

"Sakura" She replied and started chugging her bottle. Kisame smirked as he watched her chug, "This little spitfire was going to be fun," he thought before chugging his own bottle, a permanent smirk plastered on his face.
