Hello again! This will be one of my last updates for a day or two. I know I've been grinding away at this thing for five days but for now I need a break. :) I don't know if that's set in stone yet so don't quote me. For now thought it will just have to work. Hope you enjoy this chapter. There is some stronger language in this chapter and definitely some sexual innuendo and the like. Again, rated M for a reason. Enjoy!
~Kat~
The night picked up a little bit after they had finished their first couple of drinks. Rock Lee was surprisingly good at dancing and to Ino's delight Yuka had kept up with her drink for drink. During the two hours that they had been there Yuka and Ino had downed five shots, two mix drinks, and a beer each. This had made Yuka quite tipsy. She could take in her surroundings but didn't dare leave Ino's side for fear of losing the kunoichi.
After asking Choji to move they made their way to the dance floor. Lee was dancing with a group of girls, all of them giggling at his exuberance. When Ino finally convinced Yuka to dance she had moved in front of the girl, grinding to the beat. Yuka soon followed rhythm and was finally getting comfortable enough to dance with Ino. Soon Hinata followed suit, dancing with the girls. After a couple of songs Ino had drug both girls to the bar ordering another round of shots.
"Yuka-chan," Ino said, a grin on her face. "After this you have to stay the night at my house, okay?"
Yuka couldn't help but blink at her words. She knew the alcohol was getting to her head because things started to look fuzzy, almost uneven. Even her false exterior, which she maintained with perfection, was starting to fade. "Sure, I don't care Ino-chan. Maybe we can find some guys before we go, huh?"
At this Ino's eyes widened but she grinned widely, taking Yuka's hand. "Yes, that's a great idea! It's been so long since I've been with a guy."
"Lucky you," Yuka scoffed, a smirk on her face. "I've never been with a man, Ino-chan."
At this both Hinata and Ino's eyes went wide. It was Hinata who spoke. "Really, Yuka-chan? You've never fallen in love?"
"Ugh, Hinata-chan, don't dilute her!" Ino said, playfully slapping her friends arm. "Love has nothing to do with sex. Sex is just lustful, primal… almost animalistic. There is no love involved."
"But, if she's never tried it then maybe she should wait until she is in love," Hinata said, looking over at Yuka again.
"Listen, girls," Yuka said, holding up her hands. "I don't want to debate with you. I was just saying I feel horny."
At this Hinata's face turned bright red and Ino couldn't help but smirk. "Wow, Yuka-chan," Ino said, waving at the bartender for another three shots. Hinata kindly refused and so Ino drank hers and then handed one to Yuka. "I'm glad we got to know you like this. You're almost a completely different person."
"I guess I am," Yuka shrugged, clinking her glass with Ino's before downing hers. That must have hit the spot because now she could really feel a difference. Everything was more distorted, almost unstable to the point of shuttering. She smirked to herself and turned around, staring out over the dance floor. She knew she had to keep up her charade, to watch what she said about herself, her past, and especially her master. She knew she could do it especially since it was so damn important.
However, she wasn't going to keep up the charade of niceness she had put on since she got here. No, she was going to be herself for a while to let loose and for a night forget her damnable situation. She grinned over at Ino and surveyed the room yet again, Ino doing the same. "Oh," she whispered very close to Yuka's ear. Yuka could feel Hinata move closer to her, lacing an arm in hers. It was quite comical the way they looked and everyone at their table noticed, especially Kiba. Ino was leaning into Yuka, whispering things in her ear and scanning the room with an almost dangerous look. Hinata was linked to her arm, looking up at both Ino and Yuka curiously, occasionally whispering to them. Yuka on the other hand had an extremely different look on her face. It was predatory, almost downright ferocious.
"So who are we thinking," Ino asked, whispering into Yuka's ear. "What's your type?"
"Hmm," Yuka hummed, looking about the room. To be honest she didn't think about a type, in fact she didn't even know she had one. "I'm not sure; help me pick them out Ino-chan, Hinata-chan…"
"I-I'm no good at this!" Hinata hiccupped, her face becoming red again.
"Sure you are," Ino said, smiling at Hinata with a devilish grin. "Why don't you use that byakugan and find us a winner, if you know what I mean?"
"Ino!" Hinata gasped, covering her face with her hand. At this Yuka laughed and not just a fake laugh but a whole-hearted laugh.
"Come on Hinata-chan," Ino hissed, winking at her. "Help our girl out."
"You don't have to," Yuka said, shaking her head and looking down at Hinata. "I just need help choosing one. I mean, I don't even know what my type is."
"What? Oh no that is just not going to work," Ino sighed, shaking her head. She quickly grabbed Yuka's hand and led her back over to the table, all three girls wobbling as they walked. When they reached the table they noticed that Lee was still on the dance floor. Everyone else was conversing casually, TenTen still clinging to Neji's hip. "TenTen," Ino said, extending her hand to her. "Come, girl's meeting in the bathroom."
At this TenTen raised an eyebrow and grinned. She looked up at Neji who just nodded for her to go and then moved passed Choji to grab Ino's hand. "Be right back boys, don't go anywhere," Ino said, winking at them before leading the girls to the bathroom. When they finally got inside Ino pulled them to the corner, the room only occupied by two others. "So, Yuka here says she doesn't have a type… or more precisely she doesn't know what it is. We need to help her," Ino said, looking between the three of them.
"No type?" TenTen asked, looking over at Yuka. "How do you not have a type? Don't you even know what attracts you to a guy?"
"No, I don't," Yuka said crossing her arms in defiance. "I never really thought about it because I never really had any reason to pay attention to guys."
At this Ino clapped her palm to her forehead, sighing loudly. "Ugh, Yuka-chan! How is that possible? You're twenty something years old and you still don't know what type of guy turns you on?!"
"Ino…shh…." Hinata warned, looking about.
"I'm sorry! How do I know, I mean I can't really pinpoint a certain type of guy as my type," she tried to explain, fumbling over her words.
"Okay, okay…" TenTen said, looking at her. "We'll start with basics; no need to get into personalities or things like that. We'll start with looks."
"Good idea!" Ino said, looking over at Yuka. Yuka stood there a moment unsure how to respond and to Ino's distaste she just shrugged, throwing her hands in the air.
"I don't know!" she sighed, feeling a bit frustrated with herself. "I mean, I don't understand how I don't have a type in the first place and now that I have to pick one out; I'm at a loss!"
"This is going to be hard," TenTen said, looking her over. "Well, we could do it this way…" she trailed off, grinning. She then paused, looking from Hinata to Ino. "You guys remember how you got me to choose a type?"
Ino's eyes lit up and Hinata grinned, looking over at Yuka. "Yeah," Hinata said, her cheeks tinting pink. "But that worked out a little bit better than we had planned TenTen-chan."
"So? It'd be the easiest way to figure out what type of guys she likes," TenTen assured, placing a hand on Yuka's arm.
"I'm up for it! I think it's a great idea, one of the best ones of the night," Ino said, slouching to lean against the wall.
"Okay, what are you three talking about?" Yuka asked, raising an eyebrow. The room was spinning slightly to her and she couldn't help but sway a bit. Hinata noticed immediately and put her arms around her to steady her.
"Are you okay, Yuka-chan?" she asked, worry etched into her lilac eyes.
"Just tipsy," Yuka responded, gaining her composure again. She was determined to stay conscious; not only would it be embarrassing to pass out here but she would also have to deal with finding a way to get back to Ino's. She also didn't want to miss out on the first bit of fun she'd had since she got here.
"Alright, so here it is; this will help us determine what kind of guy you go for," TenTen said, leaning in so that all four of them looked like they were in a huddle. "Which one of the guys would you rather have sex with?"
At this Yuka stood up straight, her eyes wide. "Wha-?" she asked, unsure how to even respond to that. "What guys?"
At this Ino sighed loudly and TenTen just grinned, shaking her head. "I mean," TenTen said, lacing her arm through Yuka's. "Out of Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, Choji, Shino, or Kiba which one would you fuck the living shit out of?"
"How is that even a relevant question?" Yuka asked, her eyes narrowing at her. "How is that supposed to help?"
"It's simple! They are all different, both in looks and personality. You've been around them enough to know some of their personalities," TenTen explained. "And you've obviously seen what they look like so just tell us, who would you rather?"
At this Yuka paused, thinking for a moment. She definitely wasn't attracted to Lee… his sense of fashion and that haircut made him look like a complete moron. Choji was nice and she wouldn't have minded being swept up by the big guy but his confidence was non-existent. Neji was taken but she wouldn't choose a guy like him either. He was so stoic and unapproachable. It almost gave her the chills. That meant it was down to three of them.
"Well, out of all of them I have it narrowed down to three," Yuka commented, seeing the expectant faces of the girls around her.
"Well, that's half! It's a start. Tell us, who?" Ino encouraged, grinning at her.
"Well, I narrowed it down to Shikamaru, Shino, and Kiba," she commented thoughtfully, watching their reactions. "If Choji had more confidence he'd be on the list too but he's been pretty self-conscious the whole night."
She watched their faces concentrate in thought. All of them were different when they did. Hinata looked as if she was determining a life or death situation, her eyes drifting off into the distance with all seriousness. Ino just grinned, her nose scrunching up slightly as she thought. TenTen was just smiling, nodding in approval but at the same time her eyes drifted away to her own thoughts. Then she came back with a clap, shaking the others out of their thoughts.
"Alright, so Yuka-chan likes the tall, confident guys with not much to say, but when they do say it, it's pretty epic," TenTen commented, nodding her head. "Yes, Yuka-chan likes the strong and silent types. It also seems that she has a thing for lean muscle and longer hair."
"Perfect!" Ino proclaimed, checking her reflection in the mirror and straightening her outfit slightly. "Now we know what kind of guy to look for with Yuka-chan. What say we go back to the bar and start spying them out?"
"I'm going to help you for a while but then I'm going back to Neji," TenTen claimed, following as Ino lead the way out of the bathroom through a swarm of people. Hinata clung to Yuka's arm as they wiggled through the crowd before making their way to the only empty spot at the bar. TenTen waved her hand at Neji, signaling a single finger to him to let him know she'd be back momentarily. She then turned her attention to Yuka.
Ino was already scoping the crowd, attempting to find someone that fit Yuka's taste. "Oh, what about that one?" Ino asked, looking over at a tall man with medium length hair and a muscular frame. He had light brown hair and, from what they could see, a tattoo on his arm. He stood leaning against the wall talking with a couple other guys, his frame towering over a few of them. She had noticed that he was scanning the group of girls dancing in front of him, his eyes looking almost too predatory. He hadn't noticed them looking yet but Yuka quickly shook her head.
"He seems too arrogant, you know?" Yuka commented, looking down at Ino. Ino just nodded, looking back over the crowd.
"Oh," Hinata said, looking in the direction of the far side of the bar. "Yuka-chan, you're four o'clock. What about him?"
Yuka casually glanced over at the man, her eyes widening slightly. He was exceptionally good looking. He had dark hair, a faint blue tint to it. It was sort of long but you couldn't tell with the style it was in; it was a spiky fauxhawk. His jaw was square with a trimmed amount of facial hair framing it and his eyes were, from where Yuka was standing, hazel. He looked toned, his muscles pressing against the simple white button up he was sporting.
When he looked over at her she just smiled faintly, looking away quickly in embarrassment. "Great," she whispered to the girls. "He saw me looking and I smiled at him. Damn."
"No, this is good!" Ino hissed, moving from her side to stand at the bar. Yuka had a feeling the girl did this on purpose so the man could get a full look of the girl staring at him. He must have liked what he saw because he stood up and walked over to them, a coy grin on his face.
"Ladies," he said, his voice deep and humming. "Can I buy you all a drink?"
"Oh, no thank you…" TenTen said holding her hands up. "I'm good to go actually. I was about to leave my girls to do their thing." And with that TenTen winked at Yuka before disappearing back to their booth.
"I better get back too," Hinata said, smiling at the man. "I've had too much as it is." With that she was gone, waving over her shoulder at the two girls.
"How about you ladies?" he asked, smiling down at them. He had exceptionally long canines which made Yuka grin; she found that sexy.
"I'll have a drink," Yuka said, leaning up against the bar slightly. Ino stood beside her, a knowing smirk on her face.
"Same here," Ino said. "But only one… I feel like dancing."
"Sounds good," the man said, turning to the bar tender. "Three long islands." The bar tender nodded his understanding, turning to make the drinks. He turned back quickly, handing them over to him with a nod.
"A man with a bar tab," Ino said, taking her drink from him gently. "A man after my own heart."
He just chuckled, nodding. "Well, not exactly," he said, taking a sip of his drink, handing Yuka's drink to her with a grin. "I'm a co-owner."
At this Ino's eyes went wide. "You mean you own this place?" she asked, her voice conveying her excitement.
"Co-own actually," he said, extending his hand. "I'm Daisuke."
Ino nodded, shaking his hand briefly, glancing about her. Yuka took it gently, a grin coming over her face. He was cute, tall, and obviously into her. This thrilled her even more and she couldn't help but blush slightly. "I'm Yuka," she said, motioning to Ino. "And this is Ino."
"Well Yuka, Ino… tell me what do you ladies do for a living?" He asked, sipping on his drink, leaning closer to Yuka.
"We're shinobi," Ino said, a knowing smirk on her face. This usually intimidated some guys. However, Daisuke just grinned, nodding in approval.
"Beautiful and deadly… what a combo," he said, smirking over at Ino and then back at Yuka. "So tell me, what brings you to my club tonight? Unwinding perhaps?"
"Actually, I'm just here to dance," Ino said moving into the crowd around the dance floor, leaving Yuka with Daisuke.
"So, what about you?" he asked, his hand going to brush his hair back out of his eyes.
"I'm no good at dancing," she said, eyeing him confidently. "And I actually got talked into coming with friends to this club cause they insisted it would be fun."
"And it's not?" he asked, his eyebrow rose in curiosity. She just blushed taking another sip of her drink. After watching her for a second he smiled, setting his drink down on the bar. "Ah, I see… you don't go to places like this that often, right?"
She nodded, downing a mouthful of the drink before turning, leaning back against the bar, her elbows resting on it gently. This pushed her torso and legs forward making her already long legs look even longer. This he didn't fail to notice and his eyes darkened in lust. She just grinned at him, staring out over the dance floor. She slowly moved her hand up to her hair now, pushing some locks behind her ear. To her surprise his hand was gently stroking her thigh now.
Well, there went that… Yuka thought as she pulled away, turning back around to drink the rest of her drink. After downing it she smiled at him coyly, leaning in and kissing his cheek before whispering, "I have to go find my friends. Thank you for the drink. I'm sure I'll see you around." With that she turned and left him sitting at the bar, his eyes burning a hole in her back the whole time as she walked away. She would have enjoyed leaving that horny dirt bag at the bar had it not been for her slight stumble walking back toward their booth. She knew she was drunk now.
TenTen looked at her with raised eyebrows as she approached, everyone else turning their attention to her. It was just Shino, Kiba, Neji, TenTen, and Hinata at their table now. Choji and Shikamaru were actually out on the dance floor with Ino and Lee. She groaned, shaking her head and shoving Kiba to the side to sit down across from Hinata. "Ugh, he was such a pretentious prick," Yuka groaned, waving the waitress over. She came over and Yuka took whatever drink she was carrying on her tray. She wasn't being nice anymore.
She turned back to the table now to see their various shocked expressions. She just shrugged noticing that the only one who was grinning was Shino. "What?" she asked, downing her drink. "I didn't even say five sentences to the douche and he starts feeling up my leg. I don't fuckin' think so…"she said, trailing off. She sighed again, this time looking over to see TenTen grinning at her.
"Did I mention that I like you when your drunk, Yuka-chan?" she asked, sliding a basket of crackers toward herself and Neji and slowly munching on them. "Besides, he was exactly your type; strong and silent."
"He wasn't very silent," she growled, rolling her eyes. At this Hinata couldn't help but giggle. Yuka just grinned at her, leaning back in the booth. After a few seconds she noticed that her thigh was touching Kiba's. This made her suddenly aware of how closely he was watching her and she bit her lip, looking out over the dance floor.
Just then Ino came stumbling over, closely followed by Choji and Shikamaru. Choji had an arm around her waist holding her up slightly. She looked pretty drunk. As she focused on Yuka a look of thoughtfulness came over her face before she gasped, glancing over her shoulder at the bar to see Daisuke flirting with a girl sitting next to him.
"Yuka-chan!" she gasped, moving away from Choji to squeeze in next to Yuka. This had forced the entire group to shift over one seat. "That hot guy is still over there and you're here. What gives? I thought you were going to fuck his brains out!"
"Ino!" Yuka said, shaking her head and clapping her hand over the girl's mouth. "I was considering it, I didn't say I would. Besides, he's such a pig."
"What the hell did she do?" she asked, Yuka's hand coming away from her mouth slightly. She looked angry now and it was almost comical. "I'll… I'll kick his ass Yuka-chan. You just watch; I'll beat his dick so far into the dirt he'll be digging for a week just to find it."
At this Yuka laughed again wrapping an arm around Ino's shoulders with a grin. "Ino-chan," she said, shaking her head. "Not even worth the effort. Besides, what time is it anyway? We still have some time before this place closes, right?"
"It's almost one," Shikamaru remarked, looking over at the drunken girls. "And it looks like you ladies are good to go."
"Bullshit," Ino said, waving her hand at the waitress. She came over almost immediately, a smile on her face.
"Hello, what can I get you ladies?"
"Two shots of tequila and, Yuka-chan, is there anything you want to try?" Ino asked, looking over at her friend through glassy eyes.
"Yeah, I guess," Yuka said, pondering for a moment before looking up at the waitress. "I heard Kiba order an apple jack earlier. What is it?"
"Oh," the waitress said, writing it down. "It's a mixed shot with half Jack Danielle's Whiskey and Apple Liquor, usually some sort of pucker."
"Yeah!" Ino said, nodding. "Two of those."
After the waitress left they turned their attention to the table which was alight with conversation. Neji, TenTen, and Hinata were talking about something that Yuka didn't understand and Choji was walking across the dance floor to find Lee. They were going to be leaving soon; after all it was almost one. Shikamaru sat down next to Hinata and across from Yuka with a smile.
"So, I see your personality changes when you're drunk," Shikamaru commented. "I knew you had a foul mouth from that match but I had no idea you were so aggressive when it came to men."
"Psh, I'm not aggressive," she said, slurring her S's just a bit. "I just want to have fun tonight, let loose like Ino-chan here," Yuka said, looking over to see Ino was slumped over the table, her head lying on her arm. She was out cold. The waitress had just come back over with their drinks and when she noticed Ino laying there she grinned.
"Did you want me to take back this extra shot of Apple Jack?" she asked Yuka. Yuka shook her head, motioning for her to set it down. If no one else wanted it she'd drink both. After the waitress disappeared again Yuka looked down at the shot. It smelled strong of alcohol but she could also smell the definite apple in it. It was mouthwatering. She grabbed it up and was about to down it when Shikamaru grabbed the other one, holding the glass up to her.
"To aggressive, troublesome, foul-mouthed women," he said, winking at her. She couldn't help but grin before clinking her glass to his and downing her shot. He did the same, his hand coming up to wipe away the corners of his mouth, his tongue darting out over his lips to lick it away. This, to Yuka's distress, turned her on beyond all belief. She couldn't believe she was thinking about him like that again. She pushed that to the back of her mind, noticing that Kiba's mood had turned even sourer. It hadn't been very sweet all night and it aggravated Yuka, so much so that she had to move away from him now. She wasn't going to let him bring down her buzz.
She immediately slid down her seat until her knees reached the floor, crawling under the table slowly and around the base. The floor wasn't sticky to her extreme relief and she had barely managed to squeeze herself around the leg of the table and sit next to Shikamaru before Choji came walking up with Lee. He noticed the incapacitated Ino and sighed, shaking his head. Shikamaru just gave him a smirk and then looked over at Yuka, his eyes roaming her face slowly.
She couldn't help but grin, looking back up at Choji to see him trying to wake Ino. His hand shook her arm but she didn't move, letting out a soft sigh as she slept. "Well," Neji spoke up, looking around the table. "Ino has passed out which means it's time to go."
"I agree," Choji said, grabbing Ino around her waist, lifting her so that she was leaning against him comfortably. He was supporting her whole weight which Shikamaru knew he didn't mind. He'd done this every time Ino got too drunk and passed out. She was usually the one who didn't know her limits. "But wait, how are we going to split the tab?"
"I'll take care of it," Neji said, again making everyone look at him. TenTen just grinned, pressing herself into him more.
"Are you sure, Neji-kun?" Hinata asked.
"I'm sure, now you guys go outside, I'll take care of the tab."
"Yes, I have had a lot of fun tonight," Lee agreed, his eyes opening and closing lazily. He must have had quite a few beers. "But we should get going."
As soon as Choji lifted Ino out of the way Kiba slid out quickly followed by Shino. Just as she was standing up from the booth, Yuka almost fell over, reaching out only to find Shino in front of her. He quickly turned, his arms going out to catch her before she fell. She cursed angrily at her heals before looking up at Shino. He just smiled, a genuine smile, before allowing her to balance herself. She blushed slightly, thanking him graciously for catching him.
"It is nothing, Yuka-chan," he replied. "We are friends after all. If you'd like you can walk behind me the whole time so that way if you do decide to fall again I can catch you."
She just grinned at him making a mental note to thank the insect-user again when she was sober. "Thanks Shino-kun," Yuka said, following after him as the group made their way to the exit. When they finally got outside Yuka nearly gasped with how cool it was out. She knew that she was warm from the alcohol and the hot atmosphere of the club but she didn't think it'd be this cold out. She shivered slightly, making Shino stop and turn around, allowing the others to pass by them, Neji emerging from the club a few seconds later.
"Are you cold, Yuka-chan?" Shino asked, those dark glasses hiding his eyes. She was actually quite curious to see what color they were. She just smiled at him, nodding slightly.
Suddenly he reached into his pocket pulling out what looked like a folded square of parchment. Then he began to unfold it slowly pulling it apart until it turned into a black hoodie. Her eyes went wide and he handed to her slowly, a slight smile on his face. "Take it," he assured, her hands grasping it gently. "I keep it for times such as these. It is not pleasant to watch a friend shiver, especially when it can be helped."
She couldn't help but sigh, pulling the warm and soft hoodie over her head. It encased her in a cocoon of warmth and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around herself to fully enjoy the feel. "Shino-kun! Yuka-chan! Come on!" Hinata called back at them and they now noticed that they were all waiting for the two. Shino stepped back, allowing Yuka to walk ahead of him, reaching the group again.
"That was nice of you Shino-kun," Hinata said, smiling over at him. "I didn't even think you owned a hoodie."
"I also own a pair of casual sweat pants," he commented though the way he said it made it sound like he was totally serious, his demeanor reflecting it. Hinata just grinned.
After a few moments they all started going their separate ways. Choji was leading Ino back to his place which frequently happened when she'd drink too much and passed out. Neji, TenTen and Hinata all wished them a fair-well before heading toward the Hyuuga compound. Lee gave them an exuberant goodbye before walking into a building to their right. He lived pretty close to the club in a small apartment of his own.
As Shikamaru, Kiba, Yuka, and Shino all walked up the road toward their respected homes not one of them said a thing. Yuka was too drunk and didn't trust herself to speak; not to mention she was really enjoying the warm hoodie that Shino had provided her.
Kiba on the other hand wasn't in the happiest mood. He had sat there all night in a sour mood to begin with but he was almost sent over the edge when he saw that man at the bar flirting with Yuka. He controlled it as best he could; staying quiet most of the night and avoiding her but eventually it started to wear on his patience, making him almost snap when she slid under the table to sit next to Shikamaru. Just then he noticed that he was walking several paces ahead of the other three.
Shikamaru was dazedly staring at the sky and Shino was as quiet as ever, staring directly ahead but occasionally stealing glances at Yuka. This made Kiba angrier than he already was, growling at himself for being so weak. He slowed his pace until they caught up with them, wondering where Yuka was going to go now. There was no way she could stumble into the hospital this late and with the plans for her housing still not finalized he didn't know where she could go.
"Well, it's been fun guys," Shikamaru said, smiling at them as he turned to go toward his home. Shino nodded, looking over at him as he waved, walking up the road the opposite way. "Night!" he called out waving over his shoulder.
"I should be going too," Shino said, looking over at Yuka. "You can keep that, Yuka-chan, until we meet again." And with that he took off up the road toward his own home, leaving Kiba and Yuka alone. Kiba wasn't sure what to do and it didn't look like she knew either, her bottom lip tucked under her top teeth. She then looked up at him, a curious look in her eyes.
"Ino-chan passed out so now I can't go to her place," she commented listlessly, shrugging as she started walking again, passing Kiba. He turned to follow her, his eyes lingering over her figure; even in that loose hoodie she still looked amazing. Then he noticed that she began swaying, her steps faltering until finally she stopped fully, her hand on her stomach. She let out a small groan, her eyes closing before she hiccupped, her hand going to her mouth to stifle it.
Kiba couldn't help but grin, coming up next to her and leaning over to look at her face. She noticed immediately, her eyes going wide and her face tinting red. "You okay?" he asked, his eyes searching her face. "If you want you can come back to my place. It'd probably best considering the reaction Shizune-sama will have in the morning when she finds you passed out drunk in your room."
At this Yuka froze a moment, unsure what to do. She wasn't embarrassed about going to his home; she was just worried about what his family and everyone else would think if they found her leaving his house the next day in the same clothes she was wearing tonight. She didn't need that kind of reputation. Kiba must have noticed her hesitation because he just sighed, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her along with him up the road toward his family compound.
She allowed him to lead her, her balance feeling horribly off as she stumbled up the street. Her head was swimming, the scenery around her shaking and blurring. She could barely comprehend her steps until she finally noticed that she had reached his family home, the front gates opening when he pushed them forward, allowing her to gain her footing again before he escorted her inside. She hadn't been inside yet and when she did go inside she was surprisingly pleased. It was decorated in lavish furs and simple leather furniture, the foyer welcoming them with the echo of their feet across the hard floor. She quickly slipped her shoes off, stumbling a bit as she tried to unstrap them.
Kiba noticed and grabbed a hold of her hips, holding her in place as she bent down to pull them off. When she did she left them at the door, a sigh escaping her lips. Her feet felt so much better. Kiba was about to lead her through the kitchen toward the hall that lead to his rooms when he heard a noise. He turned around to see his mom leaning against the wall, her eyebrows raised in suspicion. She could tell, without even looking at Yuka, that she was drunk, the smell of liquor coming from both of them
Kiba didn't miss that smirk on her face as he led Yuka past his mom and into the kitchen. He set her down on a chair while he roamed the cupboards for a glass. He filled it with water and brought it over to her, offering her some rolls that were sitting in a basket on the counter. She took a drink of the water before grabbing a roll from him and munching on it hungrily. She had barely finished it with a soft burp before downing the rest of her water. Kiba just smiled, nodding as her eyes became heavy lidded and misty. She was ready for bed.
Tsume, who had come into the kitchen a minute after they did, watched closely as the girl ate and drank, her body slumping slightly against the chair. When she came over to try and help Kiba waved her away, kneeling down to offer Yuka his arms. She looked at him curiously, as if she was unable to understand. He shook his head and then quickly scooped her up, a shocked gasp coming from her as he did so. At first she fought him, trying to stand on her own again however this proved useless as his strong arms were tight around her. She allowed him to carry her down the hall and into a room, sliding the door open and then shutting it behind him with his foot.
He set her down now, her body swaying dangerously as she balanced herself. He held both arms on either side of her as he guided her to the bed, allowing her to crawl over it and land comfortably on his pillow. He turned around to riffle through his drawers for something comfortable to wear when he heard a knock on his door. He quickly opened it to see his mother, a concerned look on her face. He knew what she was thinking without asking.
"No, ma, I'm not going to take advantage of her. I'm just going to bed," he whispered, waving a pair of shorts and a t-shirt at her. "See, no funny business."
"You better hope not," Tsume said, looking him over. "I raised you better than that."
"Yes, you did… now go back to bed," he said shutting his drawer slowly before allowing his mother to disappear before shutting the door. He made his way to the bathroom, stripping down to nothing. He groaned making sure to shut the door before he actually went to the bathroom, expelling the night's drinks in one long glorious moment. Afterward he slipped on his shorts and t-shirt before coming back into the room.
To his surprise Yuka wasn't sleeping yet. She was laying there, her eyes staring at the ceiling as he approached. He watched her eyes find him and then follow him as he got closer, sitting on the edge of the bed. He was about lay down when he heard another noise at his door. He groaned standing up again and opening the door. Akamaru came trotting in, spotting Yuka and flying to her side, his nose finding her arm. She grinned, petting him slowly before resting her hand on his head.
He sat there staring at her, his tail wagging back and forth when she ruffled his fur, gently stroking up his ears. At this he whined, circling the area a few times before laying down on the floor next to her arm. Kiba chuckled, shutting his door and moving back to the bed. He sat down, looking over at her. She was watching him closely, her arm staying wrapped around her stomach tightly.
"You okay?" he asked leaning back onto the bed still watching her. She nodded, a small smile coming over her lips.
The truth was she was nervous. She'd never been in a man's bed let alone slept there. She bit her lip now, smacking herself for putting herself in this position. She knew it was the alcohol that was driving her mad, making her want to jump Kiba right then. She didn't know how well she could keep her arousal hidden from him. After all, he was a ninja who used scent to track. It was different for him she was sure. She then sighed, rolling over to look directly at him, her hand propping her head up.
"You know, I could have stayed in a guest room," she said, her eyes searching his face. "But you were nice enough to make sure I was okay before falling asleep. I don't know if I should be mad or happy with you right now. You weren't exactly the life of the party tonight…"
"Sorry," he mumbled, looking at her with a grin. "It wasn't my scene. I'd rather just hang out with friends playing games or going to a movie. I guess I'm just old fashioned."
Yuka just shrugged, grabbing the blanket from underneath her and pulling it over her body, lying back on the pillow. She still was facing him, her eyes roaming his face. She'd hoped he didn't notice her sexual stimulation and would just fall asleep; at the same time she just wished he'd pin her to the bed and ravage her with his animal-like body.
Just when her eyes were getting heavy she could feel his hand come up to her face, brushing away her hair from her cheek. His fingertips felt hot on her cool flesh, making her shiver slightly. He noticed and grabbed another blanket from the end of his bed, pulling it over her.
"Better?" he asked, watching her as she snuggled up underneath it.
"Yes," she whispered, her eyes becoming even heavier with the encroaching warmth. He couldn't help but smile at the look on her face as she tried to fight off sleep.
"Good night Yuka," he said, pulling a pillow closer to him before rolling over so that he was lying on his stomach. His head was turned toward her with a soft smile still gracing his lips.
"Good night Kiba-kun," she whispered, her lips barely moving. That was probably the most restful night of sleep that Yuka had ever had.
