Time to Chillax
Damn! If I had known that I was going to be this early when I left the so-called lair, I would of played some more and got my rocks off…then again I DID caught them during a vulnerable time, so who cares!
Stopping in a small village about 20 minutes out of Konoha but before I came here, I made a pit stop in a specific village for a specific bottle that I really needed to stock up on, just in case Tsunade wanted to have a night cap. I love to have a drink with her, it is possible that she might be the only one who comes close to holding her liquor like I do and I just might drink her under the table.
Anyways, making my way through the afternoon crowd, I walked into a nice looking restaurant and a hostess greeted me and like always I turn on the charm, asking if I can get a table in the back, away from the afternoon noise. Blushing lightly, she lead me to a private booth with shadings to cover me from everybody else, I thanked her and asked for a menu with sake.
The hostess must have rushed really well because in a split second she is back with my sake and a menu. Putting a henge on my fangs, I smiled in thanks as I looked over the menu and I know for sure she is trying to flirt with me because she leaned over more than necessary to pour sake in my cup and I could clearly see more cleavage then Tsunade shows. Pretending to check her out, I gave her my order while asking her to leave the bottle and to stop by every 10 minutes so I may choose something else when I am done. That definitely put a smile on her face and a fair amount of blush tainted her cheeks and said she'll be back with my order.
5 meals and 2 bottles of sake later, I paid for my meal and a generous tip to my busty hostess, whom discreetly gave me her number as I walked out of the restaurant and I caught her eye when I looked over my shoulder at her blushing form as I winked at her.
The sun started to set and the sky changed into a beautiful array of orange and red as I strolled down the street. Finding a good quiet bar with light music, I walked in and decided this place is a good place to hang before I head back to the nearby village. Once again I got a table near the back with a good view of the door and the bar along with the patrons drinking their day and night away, and after I got a good bottle of vodka with a cup, I sat back in the shadows and watched as life goes slowly by.
Two hours and half a bottle later, I sense some strong people come in and judging by the appearance and their logo on the headbands, they are from Konoha. Funny thing is, I know them and know them well: a platinum blonde girl, a round fat guy, pineapple haired weirdo and a chain smoker.
So I can safely say this is Team Asuma and probably just got back from a mission as they sat at the bar. Two out of the group surveyed their surroundings, looking from one side of the establishment to the other until their eyes landed on me and being in the shadows covered most of my features such as anything above the neck except my eyes which shone from the light, and so they turn back to each other. Nodding in silent agreement, I can assume they will be keeping an eye on me until either of us left and I find this amusing because I can actually hear their conversation and I am far from the bar area, having a heighten sense of hearing can have it advantages . The other two had no idea what just conspired as they looked through the menu for a bite to eat and waited.
I still have the other half of vodka to go, so I decided to chill out and watch them fidget all they want, I ain't going to do nothing to them and at the same moment I decided this: Blondie started to check out the area…finally! When she saw me, I could see her eyes widen slightly and lingered for a moment before turning to the other two and asked them if they noticed me. Of course they noticed, you twit, like just now you noticed? Damn!
The pineapple haired guy must have been thinking along the same lines as me because he started to rub his temples and sighed, the chain smoker, whom is Asuma the leader of the team, chuckled and answered back to her. The fat man beside her is oblivious to what going on around him due to the fact he is inhaling his food without chewing and without a care to what's going on around him.
Wow, anyways the chain smoker assured the blonde that they are keeping an eye on me and to not worry about anything, so she cast one more nervous glance in my direction then started to eat.
Pouring myself another full cup of vodka, I smiled and leaned back in my chair to relax and let the shadow of the darkening bar blanket over me while this gesture relaxed me, it kind of made the 3 at the bar tense up. Come on peoples; learn to relax in any atmosphere because NOT everyone is out to get you, not me anyways. Unless you piss me off while I'm drinking, then yea, I'll be out to get you…later but right now, I like to just chill and listen to the conversations that is going on in the bar while you all freak out a little bit at my shadowy content face.
Listening is one to the things I love to do, it can be either listening to the forest in all hours of the day or night, or the coming and goings of a street in the busy city/town/village. Right now in this little village, in this little bar, I can hear the quiet declarations of love from a couple in one corner and wondering why they are not screaming it out loud for the world to hear. Hmm, an old man to the side is drinking sake and from the smells of it, he had one to many and looks like he's about to fall over from leaning to the side too much. Good thing a waiter popped by and helps him out before he could be intimate with the floor. The other patrons of the bar seemed more or less bored…and drunk and I'm pouring more in my cup…and what do you know? My bottle is empty but my cup is still full and so I silently watch the 4 at the bar while they ate quietly and pretended to look around but really making sure that I'm not up to anything.
Downing the cup of the last bit of alcohol into my mouth and setting the cup back down on the table, I stood up, grabbed the now empty bottle and pretended to 'stagger' for my audience, with a drunk grin plastered on my face. Walking up to the bar, where the bartender is at, I set the bottle on the counter and asked in a slurring kind of way, to the bartender how much I owed and gave the money in a sloppy, drunken way to go with my act. Waving a hand when the bartender tried to give me my change, I 'staggered' towards the door where I opened it halfway but stood in the door way a bit while I took out my pack and lighter. Putting the ciggy in my mouth, I walked the rest of the way out the door lighting my smoke and before the door slammed closed, I heard Asuma say one word: scout.
Leaning against the wall next to the door, I inhaled a drag and listened quietly for padded foot falls before the door burst open and the pointed haired guy looked towards his right and then turned to his left and froze when his eyes landed on me. I'll assume right now that he wasn't expecting me to be just standing right there next to the door and his expression is of shock and surprise, so I took a long drag and blew it in his face, to sort of wake him up from his stupor. Fanning away the smoke from his face, he tried to open his mouth to come up with a plausible excuse for his 'exit' but I saved him the trouble.
"You know, if you wanted my phone number, you could have asked when I was inside instead of rushing after me. Here" Handing over a small piece of paper to the pointed haired and blushing guy, I winked at him and smirked in a smug like way.
Blushing some more, gulped, picked the paper from my hand and nodded before rushing back inside and taking his previous seat right next to Asuma. Smirking, I peeked inside just as Asuma asked him if everything is alright and the guy, with his head down to hide his blush, nodded in confirmation but his sensei is already leaning into him to get a good look. Asuma smiled a knowing smile and nudged the guy, where when he looked up, Asuma is wiggling his eyebrows at him and that made the guy blushed even more. I laughed out loud at the scene and leaned back against the wall, I knew they heard me because Asuma also laughed out loud but the other two looked on confused.
Sneaking a glance once more is about the same time the guy looked towards the door, with a very noticeable blush and I chuckled one last time before taking my last drag and flicking the ciggy away. Straightening up, I walked away from the bar and down the darken streets of the night and disappeared.
