Sakura and Sasuke were watching Naruto and Kakashi sing from a distance. After they finished singing, their jaws were wide open. Their eyes followed the baskets full of money. No one had any more money to spare on their contest now.

Then the luckiest thing happened...

Two people came in, walking towards them with a bag full of money.

Sakura's eyes widened as one of them said:

"I will bet you everything that's in this bag. This is at least 2000 yen. If you win, all this is yours..."

Chapter 9 – The Sake and the Mission

Sasuke grinned at them and said, "Bring it on..."

They settled down on a red wooden table with two chairs on opposite sides.

Sakura was sitting on the opposite side of a young pale faced boy, and thought to herself, "He must be pretty delicate...you can tell just by his looks...YOSH[okay]...I will DEFINITELY win this!!"

Meanwhile, Sasuke was staring at a muscular man who seemed to be a heavy drinker.

"Shit...Don't tell me I'm challenging him...I should tell Sakura to change places with me..."Sasuke thought.

As Sasuke whispered to Sakura about changing seats, Sakura rejected the idea without doubt.

The well-developed man stared intently at Sasuke which gave him the chills.

After a few minutes of examination, he asked Sasuke, "What's wrong, beautiful? Are you scared that you might lose? Haha...you're such a chicken!"

"Teme [bastard]! How dare you say that!! I'll kick your ass anytime!! BRING IT ON!!" Sasuke screamed as he clenched his fist.

When people heard the opponents' exchanged of words, their excitement level rose, and they couldn't wait until they started.

Four bartenders, one for each person, got the sake ready, and waited until the referee started the war.

"Ready! Get Set! DRINK!!"

Sasuke gulped his first shot with fierce anger in his eyes. He was desperate to win, and couldn't stand the sight of the guy.

On the other hand, Sakura tried her best to drink since she never had such a nasty tasting beverage such as sake before. Takeshi: Well...to Sakura it tasted nasty

Sasuke already drank his third shot, and tried fighting the weariness. Unlike Sasuke, Sakura was very delicate in drinking, and had barely gotten on her second shot.

Amazingly, the well-built struggled when he got his fourth shot and the young man was in his third shot.

Though the two men took the lead, they, too, fought against their fatigue. Takeshi: Oh dear me, SO MANY SHOTS!! Oo

Sasuke saw that they were winning, drank quickly, and kicked Sakura in the shin.

Sakura stared at him, and understood Sasuke's signal.

She tried her best...GULP...GULP...one-fourth of a shot to go, Sakura calculated.

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock....The young man fainted!!

Sakura stood up, and raised her arms to show that she won against him...SUDDENLY she fell down on the floor. THUMP!!!

The only battle that was left was between Sasuke, and the brawny man.

The powerfully built man put down his shot, and said slowly, "You sure... (hic) is a persistent (hic) girl for (hic) your size..."

"Everyone has a different side to them... (HIC) ...I won't let you win!!"

Both opponents' head started drooping...everyone was anxious to know who would faint first...

(A long silence with anxiety in the air)

The strong man then fainted...his body couldn't handle it anymore...

"HURRAY!!! THE YOUNG COUPLE WON!!!" the crowd cheered.

Pretty soon, Sasuke fainted, and landed on top on Sakura.

"Awww..." everyone cooed.

The manager walked out of his office, and commanded the bartenders to carry the guys to the hospital.

He turned around, and looked down upon the two bodies, heavily filled with alcohol, sleeping dearly on the floor.

Kakashi and Naruto each picked up one body, and traveled to the room they were currently sleeping in.

"Naruto, let's leave them alone...sake is pretty strong, and they probably only want to sleep happily here..." Kakashi explained.

"Hai..."

===An hour later...===

Sasuke woke up and found himself on top of Sakura.

Somehow...he found his lips on hers...

Kakashi thought it was about time that they should've woken up already. He opened the door quietly, just in case they were still asleep, and looked inside.

His widened at the sight...and started walking backwards...

"I'll...I'll...just pretend...I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING...." Kakashi mumbled to himself as he started shaking his head in order to make the image go away in his mind.

===An hour and thirty minutes...===

"Sasuke-teme...why is he still sleeping...?" Naruto shouted impatiently.

"I should check them out..." he thought.

He opened the door...and shut it quickly.

"Oh my god...I think I'm gonna barf!!" Naruto said as he ran to the restroom.

===The next day===

Sasuke and Sakura already got the alcohol out of their system, and were wide awake the next day.

"Ahh... my head hurts badly...worst of all I had a weird dream!!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Oh...? And what was the dream about?" Kakashi said slyly.

"None of your business!" Sakura said, blushing.

"Me...too..." Sasuke said with both of his hands massaging his head.

"Haha! I wonder what you two were dreaming about!!" Naruto laughed.

Naruto and Kakashi stared at Sasuke and Sakura with such sly faces.

Then...

Kakashi started hugging Naruto and Naruto started the conversation by saying... "Oh Sasuke!! I love you so much that I'm willing to kiss you!!"

"....?" Sasuke and Sakura stared at them with confusing faces.

"What's the matter with you two!?" Sakura asked.

"Haha!! Isn't that what you two were dreaming??" Naruto questioned.

"Uhh...yeah..." they said quietly.

Then Kakashi and Naruto burst out loud laughing until tears came out.

"You know (snicker) what?! (Choke)" Naruto somehow managed to ask this question.

"What? Tell us already!!" Sakura said anxiously.

"To (snicker) tell you guys (laughs) the truth (choke) you guys were kissing yesterday!!" Kakashi stuttered as he said these words.

"NANI!???" they shouted.

"And you didn't stop us!?" Sasuke shouted angrily.

"Demo...demo!! It was just so plain funny! And we didn't want to disturb your precious "HONEYMOON!" As soon as Naruto said honeymoon, Kakashi laughed even harder.

"I can't believe it...I...I...was kissing myself!!" Sasuke thought.

"I WAS PRATICALLY KISSING MYSELF!! Why can't we switch bodies already!! It could've been more convenient!!" Inner Sakura said angrily.

"Can't you guys stop laughing like old ladies, already!?" Sakura shouted irritated.

"Old ladies?! Say that to yourself!!" Naruto yelled.

"Ah...at least I don't throw myself everywhere and land on top of someone!!"

"... Okay, you win..." Naruto mumbled.

"YOSH!! We have enough money to leave this dump!!!" Kakashi cheered.

"Yata!! [Yay!!]" Team 7 cheered.

===Manager's office===

"Hai, Hai! Here's your money!!"

"Finally!! You're leaving!! I mean...good job!" the manager praised.

"We have some leftover money so don't worry!! Hehe..." Kakashi chuckled.

"Hai, Hai!! Now get the hell out of here!!!" the manager shouted.

===Mission===

"Oh!" Kakashi said suddenly once outside of the restaurant.

"Huh?"

"Well...I didn't expect the manager to give us these types of jobs...and we earned enough money..."

"And?"

===After Kakashi explained the deal he had made with the waiter previously===

"NANI?!"

"So...we have to save his family!!" Kakashi said as he scratched his head.

"Well...first of all...WHERE DO WE START LOOKING, SENSEI!?" Sakura yelled.

"Well...he told me something about the forest..."

"YOSH!! Let's search in forest!! Maybe if I beat the crap out of those two, my reputation will be saved!!" Naruto said.

"Oy...dobe...if you do...Kakashi will get all the credit..." Sasuke explained.

"Damn it!! WHY CAN'T WE SWITCH ALREADY!?"

"Baka!" Sakura said, sticking her tongue out.

"Haha...might as well do that so I can get all the credit!" Kakashi chuckled.

They walked towards the forest, without knowing the danger that lay ahead...
