Iruka had always been curious. His curiosity usually turned out to be a bad thing too. Such as the time he had spied on one of their clients in order to discover how babies were made, or the time he followed Ibiki to ANBU Headquarters and ended up almost being burned to a crisp by one of the paranoid ANBU on duty.

Kotetsu, Izumo, and Ibiki learned quickly, but this fact did not stop the two younger boys from following Iruka's plans. Because they did know that even though it usually ended badly, it was enormously fun beforehand.

Like pranking the Fourth, or using the invisibility-jutsu to tease unsuspecting Akamichi with "floating" food. Yes, they had all had enormous fun; at least until they had been caught and punished.

They, however, hadn't done anything mischievous for three days. THREE FULL DAYS. And Ibiki, along with the rest of Konoha, was getting suspicious of this calm before the storm. And they were right, Iruka reflected, grinning evilly behind the liquor store. Every kid had to at least try this, seriously, what 13-year-old didn't wonder what alcohol tasted like? Iruka glanced at his partners in crime."Ready?" They nodded eagerly, as he began the transformation justsu.

Kotetsu blinked at the bottle in the middle of their triangle. It was simple dark glass surrounded by a thin paper strip. Now that they had it, Kotetsu wasn't all that sure what to do with it. Sure, he knew they were going to drink some of it, but he had an uneasy feeling gathering in his gut

He glanced cautiously at Iruka, their brilliant leader, and noticed the slight frown on his face. Izumo was wearing the same expression. About to voice his opinion, Iruka interrupted him, "How are we supposed to open it?" Kotetsu closed his mouth. Yeah, how were they? All thoughts had been chased out, now that he had a tantalizing problem to solve.

The minute Ibiki heard something breaking, he knew it had to be because of his team. He had a sixth sense, only it always alerted him a little too late to actually stop the chaos before it happened. Running full blast, and hoping the damage wasn't as bad as it sounded, Ibiki skidded to a stop, black coat billowing impressively. "IRUKA WHAT DID YOU DO…this time?" the torture specialist blinked at the oddness of the scene as Iruka gazed up at him blearily.

"Wad ju say 'biki?" he asked happily.

"How the hell did you manage to get alcohol?" Ibiki practically shrieked, making Iruka rub his ears in annoyance.

"Bought it, 'ow else would we 'ave gottn it?"

"You can't buy alcohol," he hissed, now glaring at the brunette. Where were Izumo and Kotetsu?

"Yeah, I know, thas why you did" Iruka slurred his words, still lightheaded and oblivious.

"I DID?" Ibiki seriously considered murdering his little gophers, but only for a moment: he wasn't going to go missing-nin just for killing little children. Instead, he settled for strangling Iruka and throwing him into the river. The Hokage was going to kick his ass to kingdom-come; he was supposed to have a firm hand on his team.

And why had Iruka thought it was a gloriously wonderful idea to create explosive tags on top of the tea house? Ibiki allowed himself one whimper. His team would be working this off for a long time; it cost a lot of money to build a whole new tea house.

Kakashi pushed some wood off of his legs, damn it, why did he always seem to get involved with this crazy team? Everywhere he went, they were there creating havoc. He had only wanted some tea, some freaking tea! Was that too much to ask? Kakashi grumbled in discontentment all the way home, hoping tomorrow would not involve any kind of explosion.
