Laughter rang out around the lively bar as patrons drank and enjoyed their merriment. In the back of the bar, a table was packed with six jonins looking to destress from the day's work and training.
"Aaah, I can finally put my feet up." A worn out Genma sighed. Raidou only side eyed him as he recalled the day they had.
"It wouldn't have been so bad if you hadn't pissed Shizune off." The other four men perked their ears up to listen in.
"What idiotic thing did you do?" Aoba inquired.
"Only asked if her pig was ready for eating..."
There was a mixture of reactions from the group. Some winced and some chuckled for they knew the medic nin would never part with said pig. Asking such a thing was only courting death.
"So how did she torture you?" Asuma asked this time.
"She threaten to inject me with poisons and let the apprentices try out different antidotes..." Genma groaned from the memory while the table broke out in laughter.
"Best not to piss off any more kunoichi." Raidou quipped to the group. "They just as sadist as they are loving." This statement had all six men nodding their head furiously, either from first hand experience or simply witnessing it.
"Hey boys! What's going on?" All six turned towards the sound of the newcomer. There stood, in all her glory, one such feared kunoichi, Anko. Bright smile and mischievous eyes looking at all her fellow jonin.
"Anko, care to join us?" Raidou spoke first. He could sense the tension from the surprise pop-in, all hoping she hadn't heard them talking.
"No thanks, just stopping by to invite you guys to come by my pop-up shop tomorrow. I'm having the girls from my kunoichi training class help out. Gai, Kakashi, Asuma, your girls will be there. Come support." At this sentence, the three looked back and forth between them, wondering what disaster would befall their beloved students.
"What are they helping you with?..." Gai reluctantly asked.
"It's a secret. Just come tomorrow. We'll be open at 11 right next to the hospital. See you all tomorrow. Don't make me chase you down." She threatened with the prettiest smile that sent a chill down their backs.
"Ja ne " She waved and disappeared into the crowd. A collective groan ensured from the group.
All six men stood together looking at the crowd in front of them. They couldn't see Anko's booth at all. The crowd had blocked off everything, but why was this crowd only consisting of boys and men...the group gave each other questioning looks. So they pushed their way through and what greeted them was not something they could've ever dreamed of. Wait, it was exactly what they could only ever dreamed up and not actually expect to happen.
No wonder Anko didn't tell them what kind of shop she set up...it was a maid cafe!
There stood Hinata at the register taking payments, wearing a purple maid's outfit with white lace trimmings and a pair of cat ears on top of her head. Her well endowed assets on display with a blush ever present.
Ino, Sakura, and Tenten were busy running around bringing orders to the customers. Ino had her bangs pulled back to show her baby blues. She was dressed in a darker blue maid's outfit to complement her eyes. Of course her outfit showed off her midriff as well. Wouldn't be Ino if she covered up that slim waistline. Sakura had on a green version of Hinata's outfit, but instead of cat ears, she had a bunny tail on her skirt. Tenten had on a red version like Ino's.
As the girls moved around, their assets would bounce along with them. And when they placed a drink down, the skirt would ever so slowly ride up exposing a sliver of inner thigh. No kunais strapped there today.
"Glad you made it!" Anko voice brought them out of whatever trance they were under.
"What do you think?"
No one answered. Anko only laughed at their silence while observing each of them.
"Girls! Say hi to your sensei and sempai!"
The four rushed over, standing shoulder to shoulder, and bowed in unison while shouting:
"PLEASE TAKE CARE OF US!" Four pairs of bright eyes looked up through their lashes with soft smiles gracing their faces.
Again, no one said anything. So Anko waved the girls away.
"I taught them that. You like?"
Shizune looked at the six unconscious men laying next to each other in the hospital room. A frown formed on her face as she picked up the chart on the table.
Diagnosis: fainting due to too much blood loss.
"Idiots, the whole lot..."
A/N: I had fun with this one. Love reading the in-between phases
