Chapter 4: Drinking, dancing, have fun!
"So what can I get you guys?" The bargirl asked. Her bright blue eyes looked friendly at Neji and Tenten.
"What the others have." Neji said.
"For me too." Tenten said.
"With the others you mean that group next to you, with that blond hyperactive whisker guy?" The bargirl asked, while Naruto jumped up and down.
"Yes, that group." Tenten said with a sweatdrop. Neji also looked with an annoyed expression at Naruto.
"Ok, one moment please." The bargirl said. When she turned around, her short blond hair bounced a little in its high position. She grabbed the drinks and brought them to Neji and Tenten, who both paid. She swept her bangs out of her eyes and took the money.
Neji grabbed the transparent bottles and gave one to Tenten. She gingerly took the cold bottle, and together they joined the group which stood at the bar.
Ino had finished her drink and didn't want to stand and talk anymore. "I'm going to the dance floor; does anyone want to join me?" She looked questionably to everybody.
"Sure, I'll join you!" Sakura said, also tired of standing and talking. She followed Ino to the back of the bar, where a huge grey dance floor was. The DJ had put on a dance rhythm, which was perfectly soothed for disco-dancing. Many people were on the dance floor, coloured by the lights that twirled around, shining on everything.
Lee and Naruto both decided to join the two ladies. Standing still is not something that they both liked to do. Kiba joined soon after, standing still also wasn't one of his favourite things.
Back at the group, there was a discussion about a marriage with children. It was more like Tenten and Shikamaru discussed and Neji, Hinata, Sasuke and Chouji just listened.
"No really, women need to stay at home and look after the kids. It's not that heavy of a job" Shikamaru said.
"Why should the women stay at home? It's always the women! Men hardly do anything when they get home!" Tenten said.
"Men need to earn money, and working makes them tired, it's too troublesome to look after the children after a hard day of work." Shikamaru said simply. The other guys nodded in agreement.
"Well at least you admit that it's tiresome to look after children." Tenten said. "But why does the woman have to take care of a heavy job like that? It really is hard work! They've taken care of the children the whole day, and they're cleaning the house, get the grocery, cook, wash and all that stuff. And the husband comes home and does nothing!"
"Staying at home and cleaning is not something that I call work." Shikamaru said, while smirking.
"Well believe it or not, it IS work." Tenten replied.
"No it isn't." Shikamaru said.
"Yes it is." Tenten said.
"No it isn't."
"Yes it is."
"No it isn't."
"Alright we're never going to get out of this discussion! Why don't we ask someone else's opinion?" Tenten said heated.
"Ok." Shikamaru answered simply. "Chouji, Neji, Sasuke, what do you guys think?"
"No it isn't." Neji and Chouji answered, Sasuke just looked at the other way.
"That isn't fair! They were on your side from the beginning!" Tenten said in a childish way. "No wait I'm not even going to start about it with you guys, I'll just ask someone else."
Tenten looked around, and her eye dropped on the bar girl who was taking an order.
"Excuse me, miss, what's your name?" Tenten asked.
The bar girl walked to the group and looked questionable. "Why do you want to know my name?" She asked whit huge orbs.
"Well a can call you bar girl, but that isn't really polite." Tenten answered.
"You have a point there." The bar girl said. "My name's Shamira, as you already noticed I'm the bartender here and bring the orders."
"Ok Shamira, I want to know what your opinion is." Tenten said.
"Bring it on." Shamira replied.
"Do you think watching children and cleaning the house is work?" Tenten asked, while the others were listening curious.
"Yes of course it is work!" Shamira said like there was no discussion about it possible.
"How can you think that it's work? It's just cleaning and feeding children!" Shikamaru said astonished.
"I'm thinking how you can deny that it is work." Shamira replied calmly. "The job of a man is finished after 6 o'clock while a woman is busy all day and all night. It's even proven that it's heavier than a fulltime job."
Tenten gave Shamira a high five. "Yathzee, bingo uno and rummy beat that Shikamaru!" Tenten said cheering.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru replied. "I'm never going to argue with women again. They're all playing the same game."
"Come on Shikamaru, there must be something you like about us women." Tenten said with an innocent smile.
"Actually, yes there is one thing I like about women." Shikamaru said.
"…"
"…"
"Are you still going to say it?" Tenten asked irritated.
"Oh right I had to answer that." Shikamaru said teasingly. "The only thing I like about women is how they cook of course!" All the guys grinned, except for Sasuke who just smirked.
Both Tenten and Hinata looked at each other with an annoyed expression, both thinking the same: 'Sigh, boys.'
Then the door fell open and two extremely loud mouthed boys dashed in.
"SHAMIRA! We are here again!" One of the boys shouted. The other one just laughed. Obviously, there were drunk.
Shamira just sighed, and turned back to Tenten and the others. "Why do people, when they go out at night, have to change into total morons?" She asked, more to herself then that it was a real question.
"What do you mean?" Chouji asked.
"You will know soon enough. Those two are Taji and Odu." Shamira waved at the two boys. Taji, the loud mouthed one had short white hair, with gel put backwards. The other one, Odu, had long brown hair which reached at his shoulders. "They come here every weekend in the night after going out. And when they come, they are drunk of course."
"He Shamira, we're going to sit here!" Taji shouted. Shamira didn't respond.
"He can you bring us two beer?" Taji shouted, raising two fingers in the air.
Shamira looked as if she didn't understand him.
"BEER! TWO!" Taji shouted again, waving his two fingers up and down. Shamira still looked confused at him. "BEER! JUST BEER! NOT THE CHERRY, THE NORMAL ONE! TWO BEER!" He shouted jet again, still waving with his two fingers.
Shamira also raised two fingers a little in the air. She looked at her hand with two fingers up, and flipped them up and down. Then she turned to Taji again, still her two fingers raised in the air. "Bunny?" Shamira half shouted back?
"Bunny? What bunny? Hurry up, I'm thirsty!" He shouted back. Then he turned back to Odu, who was bending forward. Taji walked to Odu and put his hand on Odu's shoulder, looking concerned.
"What's wrong Odu, do you have to cry? Odu what's wro-"
BWAARRFF! Odu barfed, his puke splattered on the ground. "Oh god your despicable Odu!" Odu just wiped his mouth. "Don't let it just lie there, sweep it away. Yes with your food." Taji swept it away first with his food.
"HE SHAMIRA! JUST MAKE IT ONE BEAR!" Taji shouted. Shamira looked confused again.
"ONLY ONE BEAR!" Taji shouted again.
"Why?" Shamira shouted back.
"What why? Look here, you can see why!" Taji shouted.
"Whatever." Shamira said. She looked with an annoyed expression, which made the group of ninja's laugh. They had followed the whole scene.
"Doesn't it drive you nuts?" Neji asked.
"No why should they drive me nuts? They're adorable! I really love their shouting way of greeting and cleaning the barf of Odu!" Shamira said sarcastically.
"Weren't you supposed to bring that Taji a beer?" Tenten asked.
"Neh, I don't want to spend the whole night cleaning up the beer that Taji Barfed out." Shamira said. "Well it was nice talking with you guys, but I've got to get going with the orders. Those people over there look a little irritated." She had a sheepish laugh on her face.
Right at that moment three girls left the bar. One was walking a little behind, which caught Taji's attention. Well she caught the attention of all the boys in the bar. Her short tight black skirt and white top didn't cover much. Her long black hair also was very eye catching.
"He Odu, look she's really hot." Taji said when he looked back at Odu. "Dude whipe that puke your face, it's still there. Yes there, now wipe it of. Now watch this."
"Hey." Taji said to the girl. She just stood there, paying for her drinks apparantly.
"Hey chick." Taji said, still getting no reaction.
"Hey, chick! HEY CHICK!" She still didn't reply.
"HEY CHICK!"
"HEY WHORE!" Taji shouted. They girl pretended like she hadn't heard him.
"Are you deaf or something? I SAID ARE YOU DEAF?" Taji said. Once again no reply, which made it look like she really was deaf.
"Oh you're deaf! I'm so sorry! I didn't know that! Odu here also didn't know! Right Odu?" Odu just looked with a stupid expression on his face.
"HE SHAMIRA! ARE YOU DEAF TOO?" Taji shouted, no screamed at Shamira.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Shamira shouted back.
"NO? THEN WHEN ARE YOU GOING TOO BRING ME MY BEER? Taji shouted.
"Ok, I'm going back to the hotel. That guy really annoys me." Tenten said.
"I'm going with you." Neji said. Hinata, Chouji and Sasuke followed. And so Shikamaru stood at the bar alone. He seated himself on the bar chair. He watched at the dance floor, and saw Ino dancing with some guy. Sakura, Naruto, Lee and Kiba stood a few meters away. They hadn't even noticed that Ino was a few meters away with a strange guy.
The strange guy danced around Ino like an eel. His spiky black hair and grey orbs made him look very manly. He was kind of big and muscled. His eyes were all over Ino, and in Shikamaru's point of view that guy was coming a little too close.
Shikamaru saw that Ino said something too the strange guy, and saw that she walked to the hall that leads to the bathrooms. The grey eyed guy followed her, and had a suspicious look in his eyes. Shikamaru didn't like this at all, that guy just looked in a certain way at Ino.
"If I were you, I would go after them." Shamira said.
"Huh, what?" Shikamaru asked, he hadn't really heard what she had said.
"Go after them, I saw you looking. And that guy doesn't look like he just wants to dance with your blond girlfriend." Shamira said.
"She's not my gi-"
"Just go! She's already in the hall." Shamira said firmly.
"He Rinji, what are you doing? I'm back in just a second!" Ino said too the spiky haired guy.
"What? Don't you want my company? On the dance floor you was a little friendlier." Rinji said.
"That doesn't mean that you need to follow me around." Ino replied. She looked around in the hall. Nobody of the dance floor could see her, not that somebody would notice her. And that guy blocked the hall. Ino just continued walking to the ladies room. Then Rinji grabbed her left wrist.
"Just wait a minute. First you are flirting with me the whole night, and then you don't want my company? What kind of bullshit is that?" Rinji said with his smooth voice. He grabbed her right wrist too and pinned Ino against the wall.
"Let me go!" Ino screamed.
"You know, when you flirt it has got consequences." Rinji said with a deep voice, his face drawing nearer.
Ino's eyes grew wide, sweat formed on her forehead. She smelled the big layer of aftershave that Rinji wore. "No! Stop it! Get off me!" Ino screamed. She tried to get Rinji of her, but he was to strong. Ino tried kicked him against his leg, but that only made him angrier.
"You bitch!" He said and raised his hand to slap her.
"What's going on here?" A voice said.
Ino looked up, and saw Shikamaru standing there. Renji looked up surprised, his grip loosened. Ino took this chance to get Rinji of her, and ran to Shikamaru. She just cried and leaned her forehead in Shikamaru's chest. He laid his hands on Ino's shoulders.
"I asked what's going on here." Shikamaru said with an extreme angry look in his eyes.
The guy named Rinji just looked innocent. "We were just having fun."
Suddenly Shikamaru stood in front of him. Shikamaru grabbed the collar of Rinji's shirt, and lifted him up against the wall. He looked him angry in the eyes. Rinji looked surprised, still a little confused of the slam against the wall when Shikamaru had grabbed him.
"A man may never raise his hand against a woman!" Shikamaru hissed. Rinji now looked with fear in Shikamaru's eyes.
"What's all this noice?" A woman's voice asked. Shamira stood there, looking at the scenario. "You again? I warned you the last time! Now it's over! I don't want to see you here again, get out!" Shamira shouted furious. She took the black haired guy to the exit.
"Ino, are you allright?" Shikamaru asked, his eyes filled with concern.
"Y-yes, thanks to you." Ino said, still shaking.
Shikamaru walked to Ino, and embraced her. Ino was surprised. The sudden warmth of him made her calm down. She laid her arms around his neck, enjoying his presence. She nuzzled her nose in his chest; his scent had a calming effect on her.
Shikamaru rubbed her back. He could feel that she was calming down. Then he cupped her face in his hands, her arms still lying in his neck. "Are you allright?" He asked. Ino just nodded. They stared in each others eyes for a moment. Shikamaru bended forward for a brief moment, but then decided no to, leaving Ino in confusion.
"Come I'll take you back to the hotel." He suggested. She nodded in agreement.
