Like a boss
I wanna have your babies
Let's get drunk
PMSL Anko
14
"Up times Anko."
What the hell?
"Shizune," I groan. "It's Saturday, why would I get up now?"
"Because, my dear; it's four pm. I let you sleep in-"
"For once." I interrupt moodily.
"But the party's in two hours and you still need to get up, eat, shower and let me get you ready," Shizune continues. "Seriously, it's not like you can still be tired; sleeping in till four pm must be some sort of record, or something."
I sigh heavily before opening my eyes. "Fine, I'm getting up, OK?" I sit up slowly.
"Good," Shizune says brightly. "I cooked some lasagne so you can eat that, then shower!" Then she bustles away.
Four pm is too early to be awake…
"Stop shifting Anko!"
"I'm just trying to get comfortable!" I return.
Shizune rewards my cheek with a smack around the back of my head, with a hairbrush. "This isn't about your comfort, this about me turning you into a beautiful, sophisticated woman. Now sit still."
I sigh heavily and resort to puffing air into my cheek as Shizune brushes my hair and ties it skilfully into a messy bun. She grabs the curlers from the side and curls the two pieces of hair, hanging on either side of my face, slightly, before stepping back and grinning.
"Are we done? Can I get up?" I ask.
Shizune shushes me. "Makeup!" She exclaims.
I roll my eyes as she grabs foundation from her bedside table and starts to apply it, liberally, to my face.
"I'm quite capable of applying my own make up you know," I sigh. "And how much are you putting on anyway? I don't want to look like a clown!"
Shizune pinches me with her free hand. "Let me work my magic you stupid, heterosexual fool." She scolds before moving onto some light purple eye shadow, for my eyes.
"Promise me I'm not gonna look like a twat?" I pressurise.
Shizune tuts as she whips out some eyeliner. "Of course you won't." She returns.
I go silent and sit still in order to allow her to apply my makeup in peace. She grabs the mascara brush and applies it before standing back and nodding triumphantly.
"Are you done?" I ask. "Can I go look at myself?"
"No," Shizune growls. "Get your dress and shoes on first."
I sigh before dragging myself up and pulling off my trackies and top. Shizune, smiling eagerly, passes me my dress. I stick my tongue out at her before pulling the black garment on and pulling the zip up. Shizune claps lightly once I turn around and gesture for the shoes. She passes them to me –looking way too happy- and I sit down to put them on. Once they're on, I take a deep breath before slowly getting to my feet.
"So? Proud of yourself yet?" I question my house mate jokingly.
Shizune just stares at me. "Anko, you look absolutely gorgeous." She breathes.
I roll my eyes at her before making my way to the full-length mirror on her wardrobe.
"Well shit…" I gasp; because…I do. Look gorgeous I mean.
The dress frames my curves perfectly; my eyes are outlined and actually look shiny, not dull like they usually do; my skin looks peachy and soft and my legs look dynamite with these shoes assisting me.
"Thanks…thank you Shizune." I murmur; still confused by the woman in the mirror. I mean…it doesn't even look like me.
I turn to look at Shizune who shakes her head and grins. "No worries," she exclaims. "It was fun. Are you going to let me dress you up ever again?"
I glance at the mirror and then back to her. "…no," I dead pan.
She glowers at me.
"But, seriously Shizune…thank you," I continue. "I wish you could come to the party. You'd look after me-"
"Stop you getting too drunk you mean." She interrupts.
I laugh awkwardly. "That's the one."
"I wish I could come as well," Shizune sighs after laughing with me. "Just so I could watch you slowly get hammered and destroy my illusion of you being a classy lady."
I laugh before sighing. "Well…I had better get going…"
"I'll drive you." Shizune smiles before getting to her feet and heading out of the room, to fetch her bag.
"Here we are," Shizune declares as she parks up, outside a bar; music pumping loudly from within.
I feel nervous. Why do I feel nervous? I look at Shizune and then look back to the bar.
"Anko? Are you alright?" Shizune questions, sounding concerned.
"Mmhmm." I nod my voice high. I've never been nervous to go to a party before, what's wrong with me? Maybe it's because I look so different…or because I know Orochimaru's going to be here. As I'm staring out the window, a face suddenly blocks my view. Tayuya's face to be exact.
"YO BITCH!" She yells happily. Sakon, Ukon, Jirobo and Kidomaru whoop behind her. All looking pretty dapper in their semi-formal wear.
Tayuya's still insisting on wearing her hat, but as she steps back to let me out, of the car, I see she's wearing a cute little, red dress; tight fitting around the chest with a puffy skirt, paired with small red heels.
"Woah!" Sakon, Ukon, Jirobo and Kidomaru gasp as I step out of the dress. I hear Shizune laugh behind me.
Tayuya looks dumbstruck too. "You look fucking gorgeous!" She gasps.
I grin. "So do you. You all do," I nod at the boys who are too busy staring at my legs. "Nice." I comment sarcastically to them.
"Not our fault." Sakon retorts.
"You're basically offering them up on a plate." Ukon agrees.
"Shut up losers," Tayuya growls. "We're going in." Then she begins marching to the bar.
I turn, wave slightly to Shizune and then follow along behind. The first person to greet us, when we get in, is Suigetsu.
"Why hello," he greets formally. "Jiraiya's put me in charge of the door and I've decided that I'm not allowing you in."
Tayuya retorts with a punch to Suigetsu's guts and we stroll past, leaving Suigetsu to slowly sink to the floor.
"You made it!"
My workmates and I turn to see Jiraiya, a drink in each hand and a massive grin on his face, approaching us.
"And you two both look dynamite." He adds, gesturing at me and Tayuya.
"Thanks, you old pervert," Tayuya nods. "Get me a drink and maybe you'll see my boobs?"
Jiraiya laughs, but then nods at the barmaid, over Tayuya's head. "Get her a drink." He commands.
As the barmaid begins pouring a drink, Jiraiya grabs Sakon, Ukon, Jirobo, Kidomaru and I under one arm.
"Introductions!" He declares loudly, over the music. "Introductions!"
A host of people that I don't know, turn to look at me and my workmates.
"These people here are Anko, twins, big guy and tanned guy!" Jiraiya introduces, gesturing to us all. "Guys, these are my employees."
"Nice to meet you!" The other office yells.
"Anko, hey!"
I nearly jump out of my skin as I hear Minato's voice. "Jesus, you're too fast for your own good." I growl as Jiraiya sets us free and starts pushing my workmates towards his employees.
Minato grins sheepishly and then gestures to a woman next to him. "This is my wife Kushina."
Dammit; she's gorgeous...no chance of becoming Minato's mistress then.
"Hey there!" Kushina greets energetically.
"And…our son's around here somewhere." Minato nods, looking around.
"He's the bright spark doing the head stand in the corner," a guy, with a high ponytail, informs us as he mooches past. "Can't miss him."
As Minato thanks him, Kushina laughs. "Oh yeah! There he is!" She exclaims. "Go Naruto!" She cheers.
The blond haired boy on the table, attempts to give his mum a thumbs up, but just ends up crashing down.
"Way to go dobe."
Ah, a familiar face. I nod at Minato and Kushina and make my way over to Sasuke who is sitting with a pretty girl with pink hair, watching Naruto.
"Hey there Sasuke," I greet seating myself down. "And you must be Sakura," I continue, looking to the girl. "I'm Anko. Sasuke consistently talks about you."
"I do not." Sasuke retorts, looking embarrassed.
"You better," Sakura growls at him before smiling and nuzzling his neck, she turns her smile onto me. "Hi Anko," she greets. "Nice to meet you. I'll just apologise, in advance, for my workmates…they tend to get a little crazy."
"Really?" I glance over at Tayuya who is currently engaged in a shot drinking competition with Jiraiya and Kakashi. "I'll look out for that."
"Hey,"
I turn to see a blonde girl looking at me eagerly.
"You're from the other office right?" She questions.
"…yes." I answer suspiciously.
"So you know that guy guarding the door then?" She presses.
I glance over at the door to see Suigetsu greeting Sai, receiving an insult as a result and then glowering at the floor.
"Yeah, that's Suigetsu." I nod.
"Could you try to set me up with him?" Blondey asks. "My name's Ino by the way."
I stare at her for a moment before a smile cracks onto my lips. "Seriously? Suigetsu?"
"Yeah, Suigetsu." Ino nods.
I can't help myself; I burst out laughing.
"Why're you laughing? Does he have a girlfriend, I mean is he secretly a girl or something-"
"I'm sorry champ," I interrupt. "I've gotta go get a drink." Still laughing I stumble over to the bar.
"Heineken." I nod to the bartender who nods and grabs me a bottle from the fridge. I hand over the money and then still amused by Ino, turn to look out at the party. Some people are on the dance floor, some people are chatting, some people are drinking and that Naruto kid is still attempting a head stand. My eyes drift to Suigetsu and I let loose a giggle again; he's just so like my little brother that I find it crazy someone could look at him like that.
"Someone's having a good time,"
I turn to see Iruka smiling at me. "Buy you a drink?" He offers.
"I've got one." I reply, gesturing to my beer.
"Of course, of course," Iruka nods, he turns to the barmaid. "Smirnoff ice please." He orders.
"Girly drink." Jirobo comments as he joins us at the bar.
"It is not," Iruka returns.
Jirobo laughs mockingly and then turns to watch as Karin, Kabuto, Kimimaro and Juugo turn up.
We watch as Suigetsu blocks Kabuto from getting in for a little while, right up until Karin slaps him around the head.
"So Anko,"
I sigh heavily and turn back to Iruka. "You look ni-" He begins.
"How'd your date with Ayame go?" I interrupt.
"Oh," he looks a little taken aback, before chuckling slightly. "Oh no that wasn't a date."
I roll my eyes. "What do you think of Ayame?" I press.
"She's OK…" Iruka says before looking shifty. "But no one can top you."
"Plenty of people can top Anko!" Tayuya yells before thrusting grotesquely.
So Tayuya's drunk already. Jiraiya and Kakashi burst out laughing at my friend's antics…as are Jiraiya and Kakashi…fantastic.
"Iruka," Kakashi calls. "Come here. Shot drinking competition."
Iruka looks at me unsurely. "No I think I'll-"
"Go." I growl, pushing him away and over to Kakashi.
"How many people do you think will end up going home together?" Jirobo asks me as I turn back to him.
"Too many," I laugh. "The office's gonna be awkward as hell for a while, I can guarantee it."
Jirobo nods. "I'm gonna tease the shit out of anyone that sleeps together." He declares.
"Good plan." I chuckle.
Jirobo turns to the barmaid. "Guinness." He orders.
I sip my drink and content myself with watching as the crowd of dancers begins to increase.
"Hey pretty lady." Says a deep –obviously put on- voice, from behind me.
In fact…I know that deep, obviously fake voice. I turn and I'm surprised to see Shizune leaning against the bar, grinning at me.
"Shizune? How'd you get in?" I demand.
"Told that guy over there; I'm a lesbian and that I'm with you." Shizune answers casually as she pays for a vodka shot.
I glance over her shoulder to see 'the guy' is Suigetsu and that he's gazing at both Shizune and I expectantly.
"Fantastic." I groan.
"So?"
I turn to look questionably at my best friend. "What?" I question.
"Where is he? Where's Mr So Hot That He's Been Giving You Naughty Thoughts boss?" Shizune smirks.
I snatch the vodka shot, she just paid for, and down it.
"Hey!" Shizune whines.
I'm just about to tell her to shut up when I see him. He's wearing a black blazer on top of a white shirt –the two top buttons undone- white braces hang down from his black trousers and he just looks so, so, so totally hot.
"Huuh," I squeak to Shizune. "Uuuh." I shrink down against the bar.
"What? What?" Shizune demands, looking like she thinks I'm having a seizure. She follows my eye line and then grins. "Oooh," she says knowingly. She looks down at me. "Oooh," she repeats slyly.
"Ssh!" I hiss and turn my back to the party.
"Oh wow Anko; I can see where the sex dreams are coming from. He is delicious. If I was straight I'd have half a mind to-" She cuts herself off abruptly with a gasp before turning to face the bar, like me.
"What? What?" I demand. I risk a peek over my shoulder and see that a very busty lady has accompanied Orochimaru into the party. My heart drops.
"He has a girlfriend." I mumble; hardly able to contemplate the idea.
Shizune squeaks something.
"Huh?" I turn to look at her glumly. It's amazing how quickly my life became the most depressing place ever.
Shizune squeaks again.
"Shizune, I'm now in a bad mood so if you don't say what you're saying a little louder, I may punch you." I warn.
"I said: 'No'." Shizune answers, peeking out from her arms to look at me.
"No?" I repeat, bewildered. "No about what?" I wait a second…and then it dawns on me. "Is that your boss?" I question eagerly; a shred of hope reappearing within me. "Is that your dominatrix boss?"
Shizune looks up at me and glares. "Yes." She retorts stonily.
I look at her and back to 'Tsunade'.
"Boobs." I comment.
"I know right?" Shizune sighs dreamily.
"So, OK; both our bosses' are extremely hot…" I trail off and look to my best friend in a panic.
"…and coming this way." She adds.
"I need a drink." We say in unison.
"Five vodka shots each." I shout to the bartender who nods and begins placing out the shot glasses.
"That's our strategy?" Shizune questions. "Get drunk?"
"Well…that's my strategy," I nod as I grab a shot and down it. "You're welcome to join me."
Shizune glances at Tsunade –who is now coming our way, heading for Jiraiya- and then turns to the bar and grabs her shot glass.
"Anko?"
Aha…crap. I down my third glass and turn to see Orochimaru who leans against the bar and smiles at me.
"You look absolutely ravishing." He comments, his eyes swaying up and down my figure.
I look at him for a few moments…fuck it, if I say anything stupid I can just blame it on the drink.
"Not as good as you." I reply, before grabbing the shot glass behind me and downing it.
Shizune just ducks as Tsunade trots past.
Orochimaru's reaction to my mild flirtation is simply perfect. His mouth transforms into a wolfish grin and he raises his eyebrow.
"You're too kind," he comments, his eyes meet mine and he moves closer. "I was going to offer to buy you a drink…but you look like you may just be set."
I gaze up at him while subtly pinching Shizune in the thigh. She gasps in pain and casts me a hurt look, but she gets the hint and she slinks away slowly.
"I'm not so sure…don't you want to get me drunk?" I murmur.
Orochimaru bites his bottom lip slightly. "Not too drunk," he replies. "We don't want you incapable of…feeling things, now do we?"
I nearly buckle at that; this is like flirting with the king of all flirting or something…Jesus. Once he realises I'm not going to reply, he turns to the barmaid –who is looking pretty stunned herself- and smiles.
"One black absinthe for me, and for my companion…" He looks down at me and searches my eyes. "A WKD blue."
I grin. "That's the one." Oh God; those six vodka shots and the Heineken that I've consumed are starting to have an effect. Something tells me I'm going to be losing control of what I say soon…
Once the drinks are served Orochimaru makes his way to one of the sofas situated at the side, opposite the dance floor, I follow along like a desperate for sex puppy…that's the phrase right?
He seats himself and then holds out my drinks temptingly for me to take. I reach out for it, but he retracts his hand and shakes his head.
"Take a seat Anko." He orders quietly.
Who am I to ignore that? I collapse into the squishy cushions next to him and he nods before handing me my drink. We sit in a compatible silence for a while, Orochimaru looking quite content, and then I speak up.
"Jirobo was saying earlier that loads of people are going to sleep together." I inform him. Oh crap…yeah…maybe a little tipsy.
Orochimaru doesn't look put off and, instead, simply chuckles. "That does seem to be the code at these parties. Besides, I severely doubt Jiraiya will allow anyone to escape without being paired up with someone."
"Have you been to a lot of parties like this sir?" I ask with interest before gulping my WKD deeply.
"Well, as you get older these types of parties become the norm," he answers, watching my throat as I drink. "And Anko, it's Orochimaru, especially in an environment like this."
"Sorry," I apologise quickly. I shift closer, curious. Orochimaru's smirk widens as I move closer, my knees on the sofa. "So…if you've been to a lot of parties like this before…"
"Mm?" Orochimaru looks at me out of the corner of his eyes as he sips his drink.
"Then…have you been… 'paired off' with anyone before?" I am an extremely talkative drunk.
Orochimaru turns to look at me properly. "It wouldn't be very gentleman like to say…would it?" He replies, his face dangerously close to mine. I freeze as his warm breath caresses my face…but then, suddenly, he turns away. "There's an example of what you were talking about." He gestures towards Jirobo and Tayuya who are making out furiously by the wall; dancers occasionally blocking my view.
Oh crap; Tayuya's gonna kill herself when she finds out that she kissed one of her best friends. Ha!
I burst out laughing. "And it was Jirobo who said he'd tease people about that sort of thing!" I cackle.
Orochimaru chuckles.
"Orochimaru what are you playing at?"
Orochimaru and I look up and Orochimaru's face drops as we see Tsunade standing before us, hands on her hips.
"You're old enough to be her dad you old creep!" She continues, but she has an amused smile on her face; she's clearly enjoying winding Orochimaru up.
Orochimaru just glowers at her, looking very much like a kid whose had his favourite toy confiscated. Tsunade laughs at his face and then plonks herself down next to me. Oh hurray, Shizune's boss is a moment wrecker.
"Hi Orochimaru's next victim, I'm Tsunade." Tsunade introduces.
"Yeah I know," I say as I take her hand. "You're my best friend's boss."
"Orochimaru! Why didn't you say 'hello' as soon as you were in! Come here!" Jiraiya comes stomping over, out of the dancers and pulls Orochimaru up, before whisking him away. Dammit!
Tsunade laughs at her friends and then turns back to me. "Who's your best friend then? Maybe I know her or him?"
"I should hope you do," I reply; feeling moody now that Orochimaru's been stolen from me. "She's your personal assistant."
Tsunade studies my face for a moment. "Shizune?" She exclaims. "Ah, Shizune, she's a stand up girl! Always makes sure I get my paperwork in on time."
"Yeah," I nod, wanting Tsunade to go away. "She's here you know, at this party."
"Really?"
I nod again and glance around the party before finally spotting Shizune chatting to Minato and Kushina.
"There she is!" I announce.
Tsunade follows where I'm pointing and zones in on her personal assistant. "Oh yeah!" She agrees, before leaping to her feet and swaying slightly. Jeez…she got drunk quick. I watch as she staggers off to greet Shizune, who goes red immediately; due to Tsunade falling on her.
Suddenly a snogging couple fall onto the sofa next to me. Ew. I wish I had a stick to poke them away with. I glare at them for a while and then suddenly I realise it's Suigetsu and Ino. So she got her wish did she? Still gross. I edge away slightly only to have another snogging couple fall down next to me. This time it's Karin and that Naruto boy. Damn it! Everybody's getting something, but me!
Fine, if that's how life's going to go down I'm going to drink some more. I get to my feet and make my way to the bar; by-passing an abundance of grinding couples. Jeez Orochimaru was right…everybody seems to be pairing off. I glance over at the area Shizune had been in to see she's been replaced by Kimimaro and Juugo having some sort of deep conversation, their faces close…EVERYBODY is getting something. I glower at the barmaid as I buy a shot. As I down said shot, I hear a familiar person speak from besides me. I sneakily glance to the side to see Shizune talking to Tsunade.
"You look really nice ma'am." She nods.
Hmm…interesting. I turn slightly so as to hear the conversation properly.
"So do you," Tsunade returns. "How do you do it Shizune? You look perfect without even trying, all the time." She's slurring her words like crazy.
"No I don't." Shizune ducks her head.
"Fine, whatever, you look horrific," Tsunade agrees moodily. "I'll tell you who does look nice; Jiraiya."
I can basically hear Shizune's heart breaking. "…yeah," she murmurs softly. "Yeah…he does."
There's a moment of silence and then Tsunade tuts. "No he doesn't, shut up Shizune."
Shizune sounds startled when she next speaks. "Ma'am?" She questions.
Tsunade suddenly puts her hands either side of Shizune, trapping her against the bar. I edge away slightly; hoping they won't notice me, I doubt they will though; they're looking pretty caught up in each other's eyes.
"I like you, Shizune." Tsunade emphasises.
"I like you too ma'am." Shizune says, deliberately misunderstanding.
"Stop calling me ma'am or I'll fire you!" Tsunade suddenly yells, before calming down and moving her face closer to Shizune's, so that their noses are touching. "I like you. I like girls and I like you, and you like me too,"
Shizune doesn't reply she just stares at her boss.
"Yup." Tsunade nods smugly before suddenly pressing her lips against Shizune's.
I take this as my cue to leave. I step away from the bar and glance around; the world becomes hazy slightly as all those drinks begin to take their toll. Eventually my eyes zone in on the man I'm looking for. Orochimaru is sitting on one of the sofas with Jiraiya and Sasuke. I start over to him. He looks up and spots me, a smirk caresses his lips immediately.
I stop by his knees and smile demurely at him. "Hi…Orochimaru." I murmur.
"Hello Anko." He replies.
"Hey Anko!" Jiraiya exclaims. "Orochimaru won't stop talking about you. Shut him up will you?" He grins innocently –yet completely not innocently- up at me.
Sasuke just watches in a bored way; Sakura lying her head on his shoulder.
"I wouldn't know how to." I tell Jiraiya.
Jiraiya snorts and then yanks my arm so that I fall onto Orochimaru. Ouch. I go to hit Jiraiya, but my eyes become transfixed by Orochimaru's, he's gazing at me expectantly that sexy smirk still on his lips.
Hmm, what was it I said earlier? I can just blame anything on the drink? Suddenly I'm giving my boss a lap dance; it happens before I even know it. I don't even know where I learned to lap dance? But apparently I'm doing it right, as I grab Orochimaru by his blazer and drag him closer. Yeah…way closer, closer than I'd ever thought I'd be with him. One hand's on his thigh while the other's sorta…running down my body. Aha.
Jiraiya whoops.
"Your employees kill my employees Oro!" He cheers.
Orochimaru doesn't reply, he just carries on watching me as I turn slowly for him. Sasuke's watching me in surprise…in fact…I think a lot of people may be watching me. The things I do when I'm drunk.
I kneel back onto the sofa; my legs either side of Orochimaru's. I lean forward and push his hair back.
"I love you boss dearest." I murmur into his ear before crashing my lips against his.
Thank God he returns it; his perfect lips merging against mine. He grabs my hips and I move my hands to his chest.
"Well shit." Jiraiya murmurs from next to us.
Orochimaru grabs one of my legs and wraps it around his waist, I move my other leg to join it and he gets to his feet; our lips still connected.
My eyes are closed and I'm so into the kiss that I don't know where he's bringing me until I feel the coldness of the night air. We untangle and he places me down against a wall before reengaging the kiss; one of his hands now under my chin as he keeps me in place, his other hand stroking my inner thigh. I moan slightly, but then the spell is broken by…Suigetsu…who'd have known.
"Get in there boss!" He cheers drunkenly from the doorway.
We split apart immediately and I try to catch my breath as Orochimaru tucks some of his hair behind his ear, looking flustered. His lips swollen slightly from the lengthy kiss.
"Suigetsu," Ino scolds, she turns to smile at us. "Sorry." She apologises.
"Are you talking to Orochimaru?" We hear Tsunade's voice from behind Ino. "Tell the horny old pervert to get in here now; it's time for the speech," without giving anyone time to reply; Shizune's boss stomps outside. "Come here you beast." She growls jokingly before yanking him inside.
I just stay outside. Dear Lord; that had to have been one of the hottest kisses I've ever partaken in.
"Anko?"
I turn to see Shizune grinning at me. I give her a breathless smile, my chest still heaving from the kiss.
"I saw it all!" She exclaims.
"I saw everything with you as well." I return.
Shizune blushes. "She just…went for it…" She murmurs.
"Good on you, Shizune." I laugh. Now way too happy to even care that I'm starting to get cold.
"Come on," Shizune orders. "Your make out buddy –and my make out buddy- are doing speeches for Jiraiya now."
I nod and then stagger in; Tsunade is already into her speech, Orochimaru by her side and Jiraiya in front of her, a large crowd –of party goers- behind him.
"Hey Anko,"
I look to the side to see Iruka. "You look gorgeous," he reemphasises. "If you want…I can drive you home at the end of the night?"
I smile dreamily at him. "Ok."
Iruka's smile widens. "Awesome!"
I don't know what I just agreed to…but I don't really care. I look back to Orochimaru who still has a slight redness –from the kiss- to his cheeks as he begins his speech.
"Well, I should have known that a party of Jiraiya's was going to be this exciting," he begins; causing a chorus of whoops and catcalls from the audience. "Because that's what our best friend is; very exciting," Orochimaru continues, he nudges Tsunade slightly. "Jiraiya you were always enthusiastic and interesting to work with and, despite your habit to just rush into things everything always seemed to turn out alright. Perhaps you were always planning it as you went along; knowing everything would work out in the end,"
Jiraiya shrugs and shakes his head; causing everyone –his employee's in particular- to laugh. Orochimaru shakes his head and chuckles before continuing.
"You retiring does make me feel old…but I'll always be the better looking one, out of us three, so I guess I don't really have anything to worry about. Our company will miss you greatly and we'll miss you as we all work our hardest and you're in the Caribbean…scoping out material for your 'book'. You're a good person and an even better friend. We'll miss you Jiraiya."
The audience clap, whoop and cheer.
"But we won't miss your perverse nature." Tsunade adds.
"You loved it!" Jiraiya returns. He turns to face his guests. "As you know; Minato will be taking over your office and I'm sure he'll do a great job-"
"Yeah! Go dad!" Naruto yells…clearly very drunk; with a Karin like creature hanging off of him.
"And just because I'm retiring doesn't mean you'll never see me again; I'll be haunting the office like a ghost and now I'm not your boss; you can just refer to me as your friend…or as big daddy…I don't mind," he winks and everyone laughs. "But seriously, I will miss you guys…" He trails off.
"We'll miss you!" Naruto shouts.
Jiraiya looks touched by this and he grabs Naruto before crushing him into a hug. "Now, before I burst into tears; it's time to continue this party!"
Oh hells yeah.
End of Chapter 14
Oh hello extra-long, pretty steamy chapter, how are you doing ?

This chapter took a bit longer than I expected due to the fact that my social life suddenly boomed and I was obligated to go out to brunch and then drink a bit while playing SingStar (which is the best game in the world by the way!)but anyway; here it is. A chapter with actual complying OroAnko consensual snogging! How fantastic . Did I not tell you some shit was going to go down? An advancement in Orochimaru and Anko's relationship is some shit ain't it? And Shizune and Tsunade. Phew. Anyway Labbies, I must thank you for your reviews and input now!

But, again, thanks for all your ConCrit) and Ghostsammeo for your reviews. They mean a lot. I mean…the number of reviews is still outstanding to me…I can barely get my head around it. JEEZ. So THANK YOU.
