Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. (I can't seem to say this in an interesting, funny way...)
Okay, I have a new Editor in Chief, Neko-chan... yes. Thank you, my good pally. Oh yes, and... no, Tenten and Ino are NOT hookers... just to answer some questions she is wreaking havoc with my hyphens... therefore they are replaced with lines. Yup. Have some line-ful fun.
The officers sat down around a small coffee table, and ordered their beer. It's a guy thing, drinking beer. Even if they hate it, even if it tastes like pitch, they must act all buff and chug it down, resulting in them becoming hideously, pure dead, drunk. They'll probably end up in some hotel room with a girl they don't even know... happens to most men, police or not... when they are drunk. Then the prostitute blackmails this man if he is of a respectable crowd. Always. It's a tradition. And as a bonus, the poor suckers get a huge hangover.
'And now, we are going to entertain that little idea to get what we want. Sounds good...'
She smiled, fiddling with the hem of her denim skirt, and looked over to Ino. The blonde was just finishing up her make-up, and as much as Tenten hated to admit it, Ino looked very pretty. Not just pretty... confident. Maybe because she was comfortable wearing skirts and tank tops... and such articles of clothing that do not cover as much skin as they should. Tenten usually wore jeans, sweaters, and the odd dress pants.
As if she had read her friend's thoughts, Ino smiled at Tenten, "You don't look bad yourself. Ready?"
Tenten gave the mirror on the wall one last glance, and sighed. It was obviously been a mistake taking her hair out of their usual buns, it was all wavy and out of control.
"Just wait a moment, Ino. I have to do something about my hair." she said as she took some bobby pins out of her handbag. Pinning the hair that kept getting into her eyes to the side and looking at the mirror again, Tenten grimaced.
Ino frowned in annoyance, and gently towed her away from the mirror, towards a small table close to where Neji and crew were.
"Leave your bloody hair alone, it's fine. Now come on, you're spending so much time in Vanity Land that we might not have enough time for our real purpose for coming here." she growled. "Sit and watch them."
Uchiha Sasuke's lip curled up in disgust. For policemen- such top notch policemen like him, to come to pubs like these. There were all kinds of riff-raff here. Drug dealers, prostitues, all kinds of people. And it's not like they're on investigation either; these Chinese policemen are just here to grab some drinks. To, as they put it so vaguely, hang out.
Shikamaru smirked as he saw Sasuke's reaction. He motioned the Japanese man to come closer, and said in a hushed voice,
"I know what you're thinking... but you should realize, by coming here often, these type of people are used to having us around. They trust us ... to a limit. And when an investigation leads here, we can snoop around without suspicion. And you can meet all sorts of... seedy characters here. They can... prove important and useful at times."
Sasuke nodded surly. That made sense.
After several rounds of alchohol, Kiba was pretty much drunk to the max. Half of the people in the bar cleared out when he started singing his own version of "Aggadoo". More people left when he started to strip down to his boxers. The ones who didn't get up and go continued their drinks with shifty eyes, occasionally twitching when they heard something strange coming from the policemen's tables. But when Kiba came over to each and everyone of the poor souls to say "Cheers!", most of them ran out. Never have they been in a bar with such a freak. And never again will they come to this place. This place of freaks who sing Aggadoo in their happy face boxer shorts.
Ino and Tenten stayed seated during the whole drunken frenzy, watching as one by one, the alchoholics got chased out of the pub. It was almost amusing.
Tenten sighed, and looked at her watch. 12:43 A.M. They have been sitting there for three hours... and the bar closes at one. 'Why don't they just leave already?' She turned away from Ino to see the state of the drunks. 'They are... ordering more beer? Argh...' Tenten turned back and murmured to Ino,
"They're ordering more beer, should we go to the plan now, or just keep watching?"
"Well, we should wait until the two others, the dog trainer and the... handsomer one leave the two captains." she replied, stiffling a yawn.
"And how long do you suppose we'll have to wait for that? What if they don't leave the captains?"
Ino took out her cell phone, and answered "Then we call in for reinforcements, of course."
"My beautiful Sakura-chan, please, give me a chance! Let's go out to lunch tomorrow, or if you're busy -" squeaked the voice on the other end of the phone.
"It's almost one in the morning, shut up, go away!" Sakura croaked, before slamming down the phone. She groaned, and trudged back to her room... when the phone rang again.
"Okay, listen to me. If you phone me once more, I swear I will rip your arm off-! Oh... oh, I'm sorry Ino. Yah... Lee again, we should seriously get Tenten to talk to him... what?! Right now? It's so late! Are you insane? Wait... so you're saying the hottie guy is there? Well, that changes it all. What should I wear? What do you mean by 'think preppy, yet slutty'? Hmm... get Hinata as well... yah. Okay, see you there."
Hinata and Sakura showed up outside the bar ten minutes later. Ino and Tenten were already outside, waiting for them.
"What do we do now?" Sakura frowned slightly.
"Well, since they're drunk, we should seperate them. It's easier that way. Okay, Hinata, I think you can handle the drunken man... Kiba, I think that was his name." instructed Ino.
Hinata pouted a bit. "Why the drunk man?"
"Because you're professional, dear. That's why. Sakura will take the Japanese guy... Sasuke. That leaves the captains, Nara Shikamaru and Hyuuga Neji. Well, I'm no good with people who don't smile, I'll take the lazy one, Shikamaru. Leaving Tenten with Neji. Any problems?"
Tenten smiled and shook her head. "Sakura doesn't seem too unhappy."
"No, in fact, I'm very pleased," laughed Sakura. "But what do we do after we have gotten them apart?"
"Well, our best bet would be to take them to a hotel, and tie them to a chair. With them out of the way, our mission will be way easier." Hinata grinned.
"Hinata, as evil as you are, it is correct. Remember to give them food though. Oh... are the policemen prepared to accept another assistant into the station?" replied Tenten.
"Yes... I was thinking that Ino will fit well."
"Fabby... look, targets are coming out. Break, team!" concluded Ino.
And here we end the chapter. My long...long chapter. Okay, long to ME. The next chappie will be up... in several days. Thank you, all my reviewers! (Ayame-chan... heh sorry for the misunderstanding)
