Chapter 28: Sakura's HUGE Mistake
"Here here to Naruto and Hinata!" Asuma cheered holding his sake in the air.
"Here Here!" The table called out. Every one of Naruto's friends was there, ranging from the rookie nine to the jounin elite. The atmosphere was nostalgic, seeing all of these old faces in the same place. All that could be heard was constant chatter and drinks being handed from one person to the next. At one end of the table, people were talking while at the other end loud drinking games were underway. Sakura and Kakashi were the borderline of the two. Kakashi was engaged in conversation with his jounin friends, and Sakura was taking part in a drinking game with Hinata and Ino.
"So Genma," Asuma asked, "who's your current chick?" Genma smirked and pointed to the bartender. She had flowing red hair and a smile that could capture any man's heart. Of course, her bra size was easily double d and her skirt went up to mid thigh. Asuma's eyes widened. "Kawaii…" He breathed, "OW!" Kurenai had punched him hard in the arm. "What did I do?" He asked confused. The genjutsu master sighed.
"Nothing. You were just yourself." Kakashi smiled underneath his mask. He turned to watch the game that Sakura was taking part in. They were playing flip cup, and Sakura was winning by a wide margin. He lifted his hita-ate slightly, and smiled. Cheater, he said to himself, she's using chakra. Rock Lee was watching the game, taking in every intricate detail and rule. His headlight eyes watched as Sakura perfectly flipped the coin in to the cup.
"Amazing," he said, "that must take a lot of training." The other girls sniggered at the clueless green beast.
"Not really Lee-san. Just a flick of the wrist."
"May I play Sakura-chan?" Lee pleaded. Sakura shrugged.
"I don't see why not." Ino looked at Hinata with a nervous look in her eyes.
"Umm Sakura!" Ino said quickly, she bent her head to her ear. "You know what happens to Lee when he drinks!" Sakura remembered all right.
"Don't worry. I won't even try." Lee flipped the coin, but missed. Sakura took the coin and aimed slightly to the right. Please miss. The next events happened in a surprising sequence.
Sakura had just flipped the coin. As it traveled through the air, Genma had slapped the butt of a new young waitress. She smacked him in the back of the head, causing his senbon to shoot from his mouth. The needle nicked the edge of the coin; just enough to change its direction back towards the cup. To Sakura's horror, the coin clinked into the cup perfectly. Lee was amazed.
"Very nice shot Sakura-Chan!" The green beast picked up the shot and put it to his lips.
"Lee-san don't!" But she was too late. The goofy Gai-clone had downed the shot. Sakura, Ino, and Hinata had gasped. "Oh Shit." Sakura exclaimed. Kakashi turned to look at her.
"What's up?" He asked. Sakura held her head in her hands.
"I'm sorry!" Kakashi was confused.
"Sorry for what?" Lee had answered his question. The 18 year old had stood up abruptly, swaying and swinging his limbs around, knocking over customers with incredible strength.
"You wanna fight?" He heavily slurred. Gai was up and out of his seat.
"Who gave Lee the sake?" Sakura blushed furiously and tried to hide from the world. Lee proceeded to hop onto the table and sway and slip. His arms and legs kicked and punched outwards. Luckily, all of the occupants were shinobi and dodged the movements. "Bring it on!!" He slurred in a high-pitched voice. Kakashi stood up and grabbed one of Lee's arms.
"Gotta take this elsewhere." He poofed himself and Lee out of the bar. All of the shinobi stood up and dashed for the door. To their horror, they watched as Gai and Kakashi struggled to dodge Lee's random attacks. Being a natural at drunken-fist, he was invincible. The only option was to try and sober him down. "Sakura! Coffee! NOW!" He ordered. The kunoichi disappeared in a swirl of petals. Lee's fists flew through the air with grace, making the Copy Ninja work harder to dodge his attacks.
"Take that Broom Head!" Rock yelled at the silver haired jounin. He swumg three more punches and managed to land a heel into Kakashi's abdomen. He coughed a bit and looked up as the drunken shinobi rushed towards him. He lifted his hita-ate exposing his sharingan. His movements became more predictable and easier to dodge. Gai had jumped in between the two and started to counter Lee's attacks.
"Lee! Snap out of it!" He pleaded.
"Gai sensei! Train with me!" He slurred. His attacks quickened as his sensei had joined the fight.
"Dammit." Neji swore and activated his byakugan. He ran forward and attempted to attack his tenketsu, temporarily stopping his body movement. The drunken Lee had swirled around and performed a Konoha Senpu on the Huuyga genius. Neji just dodged it, but was knocked back slightly by the force of the kick.
"Neji-san! YOU shall train with me!" Neji dodged every attack, and tried to hit a tenketsu in his left leg, but missed as Lee brought the leg up and kneed him in the jaw sending him flying. Kakashi performed a few seals.
"Body bind no jutsu!" Lee froze in mid attack and breathed heavily. The Copy Nin sighed. "There. That should hold him." Suddenly, Lee had broke free. Kakashi was dumbfounded. "How?"
"You know that the technique can only work on the scared and weak minded. Lee in his drunken rage feels immortal and stronger than ever!" Gai said. Kakashi sighed. Dammit Sakura where are you?
"Oh for Kami's sake!!" Sakura was yelling at her coffee maker that took it's sweet ass time brewing the perfect cup. It wasn't her fault that she wanted gourmet coffee everyday, but it was her fault that Lee was in this state. She jumped up and down waiting for it to finish. Once the coffee was finished she put it in a thermos and dashed off to the fight scene. By the time she got there, she noticed Neji staggering to get up. He even landed a punch on Neji-san? Sakura thought.
"Sakura! Hurry up!" Kakashi called. The pink haired girl ran to the Copy Nin and handed him the thermos. "Do it Naruto!" Kakashi called. The blonde performed a seal.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" 15 Narutos appeared and surrounded the green beast.
"Naruto-kun! So many of you!" He slurred. Two clones ran to grab his legs, but missed. The other clones went for him as he jumped. They managed to hold on, but Lee was raging mad. Kakashi hopped through the clones and grabbed Lee's jaw, and forced his mouth open. He flicked off the lid and forced the contents of the thermos down his throat. Lee breathed heavily for a minute then started to sober up slightly.
"Kakashi-san?" He said wearily. The Copy Nin sighed with relief and reset his hita-ate. Naruto called off his clones and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "What just happened?" he asked looking around to see shock filled faces.
"Nothing Lee." Kakashi said. "Nothing happened." They all walked back inside and took a round of hard liquor, except for Lee of course, who stuck with root beer. "Sakura." Kakashi began. She clapped her hands together and bowed her head.
"I'm so so SO sorry Kakashi!" He smirked and ruffled her hair.
"It's ok. You didn't mean to." Sakura looked up, her green orbs bulging out of her eye sockets. "Accidents happen." He chuckled softly.
After a long night of drinks and merriment, the party broke up and went back to their homes. Kakashi swayed a bit from the alcohol he had. Sakura was a bit more careful with how much she drank, and was able to guide him home.
"Ne, Sakura," The Copy Nin slurred, "You got a nice ass." The pink haired kunoichi blushed furiously.
"Kakashiiii." She whined, hiding her face. He leaned his face down to hers and gave a goofy smile.
"It looks even cuter in those spandex shorts you wear." Sakura blushed ten shades of red.
"Don't speak so much Kakashi! You just had a lot to drink." Kakashi wrapped his arm clumsily around her shoulder.
"How about we pretend it's the night of your birthday…tonight!" Sakura let out a yelp as she felt the Copy Nin spank her. She turned to face him and lowered her head.
"Kakashi…I'm sorry about this." She filled the chakra in her hand and punched him in the face. He was knocked out immediately. "You're going to hate me in the morning, I know it!" She said nervously. The pink haired medic lifted up the unconscious body and brought it back to her home. She fumbled a bit with the keys, but managed to get them inside. Kakashi was stirring back to consciousness as she laid him down pulled his sandals off. She quickly changed and slid into bed with him. Pulling the covers up, Sakura leaned over and kissed her out cold lover goodnight. Dirty old pervert she thought to herself with a smile, before going to sleep.
My head is friggin' killing me the Copy Nin thought as he woke up to a bright Saturday morning. What the hell happened last night? He looked to his right to find Sakura sleeping soundly. His eye widened. Oh Fuck he thought to himself.
"Shit!" He managed to exclaim aloud. Sakura woke up with a start and looked at her lover.
"Kakashi?" She asked tired. The Copy Nin grabbed her shoulders.
"Sakura, what did we do last night?" Sakura was confused.
"We went to Naruto's engagement party, then dealt with Lee-san-"
"No I mean what happened here in this room last night?"
"We went to sleep. Nothing happened." Kakashi sighed with heavy relief.
"Thank Kami." He breathed. Sakura gave him a kiss and embraced him.
"Go back to sleep." She said. He laid back down, and allowed her to drape her arm over his chest, and rest her head on his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around her body and pulled her in closer. 6 more days. He thought to himself, before falling asleep again.
"WAKE UP SASUK-TEME!" Naruto yelled in his friend's room. The Uchiha heir woke up and glared at his blonde friend.
"Dammit Naruto. You can be a bit more considerate to the injured." He rubbed his eyes. The blonde grinned from ear to ear.
"Kakashi wants to see you." Sasuke looked behind his whiskered friend to see the Copy Ninja slouched as usual. He smiled.
"What's up Kakashi?" He asked.
"Naruto, give us a moment?" Kakashi asked softly. The blonde nodded and left the room.
"What is it?" Kakashi sighed.
"Orochimaru is back. Evidently when you killed him, part of his remains infused with Kabuto, and eventually took over him. He's been spotted in Fire Country, and almost killed three of our best jounins." Sasuke's eyes widened.
"What does Tsunade-sama say?"
"She doesn't want to take direct action yet. The mission was just for information gathering and he had ambushed them. No view of an army or anybody else with him. You wiped them all out. He is alone on this one now. Our guess is that he is either trying to destroy Konoha again, or take over your body." Sasuke lowered his head and closed his eyes. He looked back up, sharingan ablazed.
"I'll fight him," he said with his old Sasuke-tone, "I've killed him once, and I'll kill him again."
"We can't be too hasty Sasuke. He's had 2 years to prepare himself. Presumably he's got more terrifying jutsu he has created. We can't risk sending you alone. If anything, Naruto, Sakura, and I will be teamed with you." The Uchiha nodded.
"I guess you're right," He looked into Kakashi's eye, "What do we do now?" The Copy Nin curved his eye in a smile.
"We get ready for Sakura's party on Friday!" He replied. Sasuke smiled.
"Let's do it then, shall we?"
