Sakura's Favorite Drink

Sakura laughed as Koneko made all the chocobos line up like her little soldiers. She was walking around waving her sword and giving directions.

"Youkai..You will lead group one to Hal's hiding place. Which, thanks to yours truly, is known to us. You," she pointed to the small yellow chocobo, "lead group two to find Kenshin..We may need him.." She put her sword away and smiled proudly as the birds went off to carry out the orders.

Silver was on a chair, laying down, with a huge umbrella shadowing over her.

" Silver what are you doing?" Koneko asked, slightly confused. She seen Kagome do this one time. But she wasn't trying to keep the sun away. It was called..'tanning'.

Silver didn't response. She just layed there. Her eyes looked closed but probably weren't.

"Silver?" Koneko tried again. No response. "Hello?!" She waved her hand in front of Silver's face. Silver caught her hand and blinked.

"What?"

"Do you have hearing problems or something?!" Koneko asked. She shook Silver's grip off.

Silver took out to white things from her ears and Koneko made the -.- face.

"Can you repeat that?" Silver smiled innocently.

"What are those for?" Koneko pointed to the white balls in between Silver's fingers.

"They are to block out your noisy ass birds!" Silver shouted.

"Feh!!" Koneko stormed away, not even noticing the green chocobo that was sleeping beside Silver's chair.

They have been wandering the waters for a good four days. Silver had gotten use to the green bird that felt like following her around. She wasn't always sea sick anymore and decided to stay near the center of the boat where it didn't rock as much. (A/N/Silver: Is this true? It seemed about right..)

Koneko was set on finding Hal and Kenshin since they seemed to distant themselves. She didn't like that one bit. So she was plotting and now carrying out the plan.

Sakura was just driving and wondering how much longer Hal can hide under her cot and in the small laundry shoot below deck before he was caught. She never told though..It was way to amusing to spoil it. Hal promised to pay her back anyways.

Kenshin didn't want to feel the wrath of Youkai if he did anything. So he just avoided them all together. Hal's scar was near healing and the attack was five days ago. No WAY he was going to got through that..

Zi was just helping Koneko learn about the Chocobos. He had brought a lot of food and they had to store it in a small cabin below deck. They would run out soon if they didn't find an island that had substitute food.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

"Where are my earplugs?!" Silver shouted. "Aww come on!!!" She crossed her arms like a child who didn't get the candy he wanted.

"Land ahead!" Sakura shouted through the open window.

"FREEDOM!" Silver stood up and lifted herself onto the rail and leaped. A familiar beak caught her again. She grumbled and crossed her arms again as the gracious Green chocobo pulled her back up.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH" Hal slid past while a black chocobo was close by with Koneko on its back. Kenshin was sneaking around and getting into a row boat to hide under equipment. Sakura, Zi, and Silver put anchor down. As soon as that task was done Silver got into a boat and lowered herself down. The green chocobo watched her and gave a "kweh". The other came and saw her laughing maniacally as she rowed the long row to shore. They sighed and piled into the boat Kenshin was in.

"Hey what about us?!" Koneko watched Hal, Sakura, Kenshin, and Zi lower themselves down.

"Um .."They looked up to a small boat.

Koneko sighed and got inside with Youkai and lowered themselves rowing beside the others. Hal and Kenshin suddenly rowed further away and faster.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

Silver jumped out of the boat and dragged the row boat onto the sand. She danced around and saw everyone was still very far but Koneko and Youkai the farthest. She stuck out her tongue and used her finger to pull down the skin under her eye.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

"Is she doing what I think she's doing?" Kenshin asked after seeing they were a safe distance from Youkai.

"Yep.." Sakura watched as Silver did a little dance and finally sat down to wait.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

Everyone finally pulled their boats onto land. They walked around seeing a village ahead with commotion. It looked like a square or something. People were laughing and women were yelling something faint. They were almost there when Koneko came up then almost passed out. She stumbled backward and put her arm over her nose.

"What's wrong Koneko?" Sakura asked.

"That. SMELL!"

Everyone sniffed a big sniff and then blocked their noses as well.

"Oh my flying boxers! Who the hell ripped?!" Hal screamed.

"I doubt anyone 'ripped', Hal." Kenshin said with a sigh.

"So it's a little strong can't you bare it?" Silver asked removing her hand from her nose.

"No. It is making me sick. I'm staying with the boats" After she ran back and when the coast was clear she removed her arm and took out sugar cubes.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

"Free sample! Try the Sake-Nog! Try the new version of Egg Nog!" The woman shouted holding a tray of small glass bottles. Sakura went up and took one. She smiled in thanks and took a sip. She looked like she was about to hurl then she looked like she was in heaven.

"Ohhh that is good.." She smiled. "How much?"

"Only 1.95 a bottle ma'am." The woman smiled back hoping this woman would by a lot.

"What is this called again?" Sakura pointed to the bottle.

"Sake-Nog. The island is now known for it even though its new.."

"What's the island name?" Silver asked taking a sample also.

"Gon Island."

Silver spit out the drink. "Oh that tastes like shi-"

"I want three bottles please!" Sakura cut Silver off.

The woman pulled out three bottles that were at least 2 liters in size. She handed them to Sakura and Sakura handed her the 5.85 (A/N/Silver:...screw tax!!)

Sakura drank half the contents of the bottle while they walked seeing if there was anything else around. They were like tourist really..

"Ooh..Pretty.." Sakura giggled and pointed to the label on the back. "In greedy ents..HM....Saaw Key...Hehehe..And Eggy Noggy!" She whistled. "Wooo wee..Giiiiiirl let me tell ya! This stuff..Its special..Really it is.." She laughed hysterically.

Everyone sweat dropped.

After they got some Geisha (A/N/Silver: Forgot how to spell it..) Greens for the chocobos and some other greens to last at least a month they dragged Sakura back. But she had to by 6 more bottles. There goes 11.70 down the crapper.

She hugged her bottles and sighed dreamily while Hal carried her over his shoulder. Silver was left to carry the other bottles. Sakura 3 Silver 6..Joy.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

"Back already..Uh..What happened to her?" She pointed to Sakura who was now more calm but still very very drunk.

"Sake-Nog..Don't ask.." Silver mumbled. She got in the boat with all the groceries. Zi and Kenshin squeezed in with her and they rowed off.

Hal and Sakura had a boat to their own. She was too wild and who knows what she could do if she was alone or if she was around the others.

Koneko and Youkai had their own boat again. They were last to arrive again. After they got up they kept the keys away from Sakura.

"I can drive weally I can!!" She jumped up and down.

"I don't think so." Kenshin mumbled as he walked away with the keys safely hidden.

She danced around with her second bottle of Sake-Nog and, technically for the night, her last. They hid the rest with the Chocobo food in storage..But she didn't know that shh.

Everyone sat down and had some fruit while Koneko had a few pockys and sugar cubes. Silver still had nothing..No one asked her again why.

Sakura came over and sat down.

"Okay here is the plan girls.." She whispered to Koneko and Silver but it was still very loud.

"We take the boys..And have a ROMAAANTIC Evening...Okie dokie?" She giggled. Koneko blocked her nose. 'Does she know about her breath?!' Koneko's mind screamed. 'Don't pass out don't pass out...'

"Koneko, you go with red.." She giggled a bit before continuing. "Silver you can have pretty boy over there." Koneko and Silver's eyes were wide and they were near blushing a new shade of pink.

"And well.." She stopped to smile thoughtfully, "we all know I get Hal."

Silver slapped her forehead and Koneko just banged her head against the table.

The two boys were just sweat dropping and mumbling "why me" 's.

Hal was just like "ooh I wonder what she has in store.."

She stood up and danced over to Hal. She grabbed his hand and danced up to the captain's room. He was blinking in shock and she was giggling. "It's a surprise SHH!." Then the curtains in the captains room closed and there was a thud.

They never came back the rest of the night...

Zi went off to go feed the chocobos and Koneko followed. She still needed to know a lot if she was going to keep Youkai. Silver followed thinking it to be amused but she didn't know where Kenshin disappeared to. She could have sweared she saw a hand hanging out of one of the boats with a sheet inside. She shrugged it off and continued to follow Zi and Koneko down to the lower deck.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

SilverAssassin: That was..D Shiznit e.e;
