"Honestly you couldn't even have changed out of your normal combat clothes?" I asked Kakashi pinching the fabric on his vest.
"Well you said it didn't matter what we wore, I did put on my nice mask though." He shrugged lazily. I inspected his mask, liar there was nothing different about this one from his other ones. "Besides it's not like your dressed up." He said pointing to my attire, I was in the same black dress from this morning, it wasn't fancy for anything, just loose fitted with a tie around the waist with a high collar and long sleeves, but at least I wasn't wearing combat clothes. "Well ready to get going!?" Kakashi said smiling.
"Stop smiling like that." I said flatly.
"Like what?" He said keeping the smile plastered on his face.
"Like a puppy, lets just get going." All the kids had left a few hours ago, and Sasuke and Naruto just went to bed so me and Kakashi were going out like we had agreed. He headed out the door, Kakashi locked it as we left and we made our way to the tavern. It felt pretty weird to be going with Kakashi, almost as weird as if I were to take my father with me drinking. Way to get yourself depressed before drinking. We entered the bar side by side, I looked around for Anko. Naturally she was in a booth already drunk out of her mind with Genma and a few other people. Her back was to me but a few of the people she was sitting with saw me and pointed, Anko swung around than fell into Genma's lap from the fast movement. I laughed, grabbing onto Kakashi's jacket I dragged him to the booth with me.
"KINA! Well watch out guys now it'll be a party for sure." Anko exclaimed excitedly reaching across Genma to pull me into the booth, everyone was shoving over for us to fit, though there wasn't really room so I somehow ended up sitting on one of Genma's legs and one of Kakashi's. "Get some drinks for my friends buddy!" Anko said winking to the boy at the end of the other booth. I thought he was about to faint as he got up to do as she said. "Who is the tallll glass of water Kina?" She knew who he was but she probably just wanted to be introduced.
"This is Kakashi, he challenged me to a drinking contest." The boy came back with two bottles of sake, I thought it was nice how the bartender stopped bothering with giving me the dish to go with it now.
"Well that was stupid of him, I'm pretty sure you could drink me under the table!" Genma laughed, poking me in the side. Kakashi shifted his leg and somehow got me fully into his lap without me even realizing at first. I looked back at him and he winked grabbing his bottle of sake, oh he was using me as a cover so he could drink. Guess he cant hide behind book like usual. I grabbed my bottle taking a swig, if I really thought about it, I hated the taste, but I loved the effect.
"That's okay let him underestimate me, it will make defeat so much sweeter!" I exclaimed pumping my fist. Everyone chuckled. "Quickly finish your drinks! I want to dance!" I brought my bottle to my lips downing the bottle, I felt a blissful warmth spread through me, that I knew would turn to numbness soon enough. Once Kakashi put his bottle down I hopped off his lap so everyone else could get out. Though Anko got impatient and hopped over the table.
"Come on Kakashi Dance with me!" Anko yelled excitedly, Kakashi looked at me and I held up three finger, than put down one finger leaving just two. He did promise to dance with three girls. He rolled his eye's as he got dragged away by Anko. "HEY! BAR GUY TURN THE MUSIC UP!" He yelled excessively loud to him. The bar tender did as asked, Anko grabbed the belt loops around Kakashi's waist pulling him close than started sashaying her hips against him. I face palmed. He was literally just stood there. I grabbed Genma's hand.
"Dance with me!" I said while dragging him, we stood close to them in Kakashi's line of view so he could see how to dance, instead of just standing there like a stick in the mud. If he was dancing with anyone but Anko they would have ran away already. Genma placed his hands on my hips, as I started to move much like Anko, though she was considerably better at it. I looked at Kakashi pointedly, praying he would move or something, He did inspecting how Genma was moving against me he placed his hands on Anko's waist, and moved with her. He wasn't bad, though that's to be expected, fluid and coordinated movements were no problem for ninja's.
"Looks like Kakashi finally got the hang of it." Genma said going close to my ear so I could hear him over the music. I nodded to him looking up at his face as he pulled away, he was so calming, and fun. Dancing and hanging out with him was so carefree, just like how it was hanging out with Anko. They didn't give me that look like 'wow your a prodigy' or 'wow you family all just got massacred.' they looked at me like I was normal, and it was so refreshing. I turned around pressing my self against his body bringing my hands up over my head around his neck, sashaying my hips to the beat of the music, his hands found there way back to my hips, I could feel his chest moving as he sang along with the music. More people moved on the dance floor after a couple songs I wonder if the bartender hated that his tavern turned into a club every time we came. Me and Genma danced for four songs together before we switched partners with another couple, I was dancing with a different guy with black hair, he was a pretty good dancer but he seemed to be having trouble keeping his equipment in check if you know what I mean. I didn't let it bother me, I just enjoyed the fuzziness of my mind and the music flooding my ears. After a few songs with him, the buzz was wearing off so I pushed through the crowd to where Kakashi and Anko were dancing, Kakashi seemed to have really gotten the hang of dancing now moving his body against Anko's in rhythm. I motioned to them I wanted another drink and they followed me out of the crowd to the bar. Kakashi handed some money to the bar tender saying something to him I couldn't catch over the music. We all brought the bottles to our lips though Kakashi was looking in the other direction. We spent most of the night dancing with random people, laughing and drinking, but slowly but surely the other party goers started to leave until eventually the only one's still left was the four of us and a few other people who hadn't joined the fun. We sat back at the booth all of us flushed from the dancing and sake.
"Kakashi, you are a good dancer!" Anko exclaimed knocking her bottle back.
"Your not so bad your self." Anko was sitting on his lap, though he didn't complain because that meant he could hide behind her to drink. "Kina your slacking I'm almost done my fifth bottle and you just started yours." HE teased peeking out from behind Anko's purple hair.
"OH YEAH!" I exclaimed before bringing the glass bottle to my lips chugging the liquid down ignoring the nauseas feeling. "I'm just getting started!" I slammed the bottle down hopping over the table since Genma was blocking the way, landing not so gracefully on the ground to buy us some more. I brought the four bottles back hopping back on the table, though I didn't have the energy to get off so I just sat on top. Avoiding the empty bottles.
"Kina's going to table dance for us!" Genma shouted drunkenly.
"DANCE DANCE DANCE DANCE!" Anko yelled pumping her fist into the air and bobbing up and down on Kakashi's lap. Genma joined in clapping his hands off beat to the chants, I shakily stood up with my bottle in hand. The music was to quiet so I sung a song for myself, a song from my old life, that was old even when I died but who cares it was the first my drunk mind came too.
"I'll take you home if you don't leave me at the front door.
Your body's cold, but girl we're getting so warm
And I was thinking of ways I could get inside
Tonight, your falling in love
This feeling's tearing me up
Now, if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now, if she touches like this
Will you touch her right back?
Now, if she moves like this
Will you move it like that?
Come on
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it"
Yes metro station is what I decided to sing. I was spinning and moving around the table, everyone in the tavern was looking at me, Suddenly Anko hopped up onto the table, pulling my hips into hers, I continued to sing.
"Now if she does like this
Will you do like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her right back?" Anko turned around, slowly started squatting as she moved her hips
"Now if she moves like this
Will her move it like that
Come on!" I started moving down with her and we popped back up in a sudden synchronized movement. I started singing and Genma and Kakashi, maybe even a few of the others joined in.
"Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it" Anko was laughing, and if it wasn't for the fact that I was singing I would be too.
"Your lips tremble
But your eye's are in a straight stare
We're on the bed
But your clothes are laying right there
And I was thinking of places that I could hide" I had my hand tucked under her chin our faces so close our breaths mixed as we acted out the words I was singing. The words didn't sound as good in the translation.
"Tonight, your falling in love
This feeling's tearing me up
Now, if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now, if she touches like this
Will you touch her right back?
Now, if she moves like this
Will you move it like that?
Come on
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it" I knew I messed up the song allot but no one else did so I didn't care. Also my voice was a hell of allot higher than Metro station, and it wasn't nearly as seductive, but it was fun singing and dancing. Once the song was done I grabbed Anko's hand and did a drunken bow, the people in the tavern clapped and laughed having enjoyed our performance. Anko hopped down onto the seat and back into Kakashi's lap. I hopped down too leaning against the far wall placing my legs over Genma's.
"I didn't know you could sing Kina." Anko exclaimed leaning against Kakashi drinking more sake.
"Yeah your pretty good!" Genma exclaimed, I did a mock bow from where I as sitting and the both of them laughed. I brought my bottle to lips chugging the rest of it, when I brought it down Anko had her face pressed against Kakashi's mask holding his face close to hers. I giggled at Kakashi as he tried to figure out what to do with his hands.
"I think she is to drunk to even realise there is a mask in the way!" I said laughing. Genma laughed too ringing his senbon to the other side of his mouth.
"I think he is so drunk he forgot how to kiss. What is he even doing with his hands." Genma said grimly looking at the silver haired man hovering his hand around her trying to think of a good place to put them. "Do you think its weird to kiss through a mask?" he asked thoughtfully. I looked over at them. It does seem like it would be uncomfortable. I pulled my dress fabric over my mouth and beckoned Genma over. He laughed but grabbed my arms sliding me closer to him and pressing his lips to where mine were through the fabric. It felt weird, not even like a kiss, how could they just be kissing like that, and they have been going for a while, it would be weirder with open mouths. I pulled back from Genma, and we both made a face at each other than at the couple across from us. That can't feel nice. I pulled the fabric down from my face.
"That felt really weird." I said through wide eye's to Genma, he nodded.
"Okay you four I'm closing up now time to head home, no roof top running for any of you." this worlds version of drunk driving. Anko and Kakashi split up at the bar tenders words both looking flushed. I giggled as Genma pulled me out of the booth, I quickly finished Anko's Sake as I waited for her to pull her self out of the booth. She slung an arm around me and Kakashi and I slung my arm around Genma as we made out way out, calling good by to the bar tender. Once we were out side I hugged Anko good by both of us went to kiss the others cheek, leading to a miscalculation of our lips landing. I pulled away laughed touching my fingers to my hands.
"if you wanted to kiss me Kina all you had to do was ask." I laughed moving to give Genma a hug, he was to tall for me to give him a kiss on the cheek so I didn't bother trying.
"I'll remember that for next time." I said turning back to her, though she had Kakashi by the fabric of his jacket pulling him toward her in a kiss again. "Oh boy I've created a monster." I joked to Genma who laughed. They pulled away and we headed in different directions. I was delighted to see Kakashi was as tipsy as me, we stumbled down the road trying to catch each other when it looked like we may fall though most of the reason we stumbled was from the other trying to help. But every time I looked at him he looked unstable so I'd reach out to help, but my hand eye coordination was off so I'd mostly just push him. We laughed all the way home, constantly shushing each other, which would only make our laughing worse. We got to our front door, and both of us fumbled with the key for fifteen minuets until Kakashi was finally able to unlock it.
"Be very quiet." I whispered to him as we got into the house, he smacked his hand down onto my mouth. Apparently I wasn't being as quiet as I had thought. He led the way up the stairs, half way up I tripped and grabbed onto his jacket, because of our bad balance we both topples down the stairs He landed on top of me at the bottom of the stairs head smacking into my chest forcing the air out of my lungs.
"Oh god Kina! Are you okay!?" He said quickly sitting up.
"Its just a bit of pain don't worry." I rasped out holding my arms around my chest rolling around.
"What should I do? Do you need ice?" He asked concerned.
"Just help me up." I reached hand out for him, he took it a attempted to pull me up but fell back pulling me on top of him. "Did you plan this you sly dog you." I slurred at him clumsily trying to get up, while he laughed.
"What are you guys doing." we both looked towards the voice. It was Sasuke on top of the stairs looking down at us confused as he rubbed at his eye.
"Oh hey Sasuke sorry we woke you, we were having a race up the stairs and Kakashi was beating me and blocking the way so I tried to push him out of the way but he fell down bringing me with him." I quickly got off Kakashi and stood up, trying my best not to look unstable. "We are good though, so go back to bed okay." I said sweetly to him. He looked at Kakashi unsure, than back at me.
"Well I was just going to ask if you wanted to sleep with me tonight." He said sticking his chin up. He had a bad dream but didn't want Kakashi to know.
"I would love that how about you head up to my bedroom and wait for me there I'll be right up." He nodded than went out of view. "How bad do I smell?" I quickly asked Kakashi. He sniffed my shoulder.
"Like sake." He said bluntly. "Well there goes my ideas of seducing you, looks like you will be sleeping with another man tonight." he winked, though he could of just blinked I really wouldn't know. I laughed at his joke, and carefully climbed the stairs this time on all fours so their wouldn't be a repeat.
"Good night Kakashi." I said as he was going into his bedroom door, and for what ever reason, I smacked his butt and made my way to my bedroom, I heard his exclaimed in surprise as I closed my bedroom door, Sasuke was sitting on my bed a small throw over his shoulders hugging his knee's to his chest, he looked so sad and broken, he looked the way I felt all the time. Though I was drunk know so the pain was to far away to feel. "Why don't you lay down, I'm just going to go get changed than I'll come back." He nodded but didn't move. I went to my dresser grabbing a small pair of baggy short and a loose t-shirt, than went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth after I was dressed, than made my way to the bed, pulling Sasuke into my lap holding him almost like a baby. "You had a bad dream?" He nodded his head against my chest gripping the fabric of my shirt tight. I willed the fuzziness to go away. "Do you want to tell me about it?" I asked my brother, He promptly shook his head no. "You know I get bad dreams too, we experienced something horrible, and I find myself feeling alone and empty. That how you feel too right?" I paused, he slightly nodded his head he was silently crying now. Putting word to your emotions always hurt. "But than I think, I'm not alone because I have the cutest little brother, and Naruto who is like a brother to both of use, and I have friends, and I have students. We lost allot that night, almost our whole family, but we didn't loose each other. You will never loose me, I'm here to stay. I'll always support you and love you Sasuke. So when you feel alone, remember me, and that I will never leave you. Not even when I'm old and gross, and smell weird, and you kind of wish I would go away, because I lost my hearing and always talk loudly, and knit you outrageous things like wool underwear. I WILL still be there." He laughed a little, I placed my hand on his head. "Lets go to sleep Sasuke."
