Kai breathed a heavy sigh of relief before deciding he needed another drink before going home. He headed over to the bar and ordered his fourth double vodka of the night..

Chapter 4.

Kai sat swirling his drink, reliving in his head the evening he'd just had. He really was annoyed at Ray. Sarah definitely was not his type of girl. He smirked to himself just thinking about what he would do to Ray when he next saw him.
"What's with the smirk?"
Kai spun around suddenly. He'd thought he'd been the only person at the bar, and after turning around thought that maybe he'd imagined the voice because there wasn't anybody around. Kai shrugged dismissively and turned to face the bar where he found the source of the voice. Behind the bar was a young woman restocking the ice bucket. She smiled, realising she had startled the man before her.
Kai paused for a second before replying
"I could ask you the same question."
The girl chuckled softly to herself and began to load the glass washer that was below the bar.
"I bet your glad to be rid of that one aren't you!" The woman continued.
"Excuse me?"
"That girl you were with. Bit of a talker wasn't she."
"Oh. Yeah she was."
Kai rolled his eyes to emphasize his point.
"She wasn't exactly my choice."
"Ah yes. The old blind date scenario. Your friends set you up did they?"
"Yeah...Well my 'ex'-friends did. Yeah."
The young barmaid again chuckled.
"Never mind. It's not like one bad date can harm you."
Kai smirked.
He watched the girl a she busied herself behind the bar. She was pretty, not drop dead gorgeous, but pretty in a nice simple way. She had shoulder length light brown hair, tied in a loose ponytail. He presumed that was a work thing, health and safety and all that. She had a round face with no make up on that he could see, which surprised him. He thought all girls wore make-up. It was one of those stupid girly rituals wasn't it. Her eyes were what struck him the most. They were a piercing shade of green, with naturally long lashes. She was quite tall too, not quite as tall as he was, but almost. Kai suddenly mentally slapped himself. Was he actually... admiring a...a... girl? This wasn't him. He'd barely said anything to this girl and now he was thinking about her. This wasn't right. He decided that maybe he should leave. He suddenly felt very wierd.
It's the vodka He told himself. He got up to leave and then stopped. Almost before he could register what he was doing he turned and said...
"Would..would yo like to go for a drink sometime?"
Kai was mentally beating himself up. How could he, Kai Hiwatari, have stuttered like that, and what's worse how could he have done it in front of another person whilst saying that!
Kai stood there awkwardly. He really was at a loss as to what to do.
"Erm..sure." The girl replied. She took a napkin out of the holder on the bar and wrote something.
"This is my number." She said, smiling as she handed Kai the napkin.
"Well. Goodnight then." He said quickly to the barmaid as he picked up his jacket and slung it over his shoulder.
"Goodnight." She called to Kai's retreating back. "And by the way... My name's Jiraya!"
