"Par-tay!" Naruto danced around happily when Itachi announced a big gala for New Year's Eve, when he hit Kushina. Her bag of cookies fell on the floor as she slowly looked at Naruto with darkened eyes. Her hair was flying around her and everyone could practically see the fire in the background as Naruto let out a girlish scream and ran away. She held out a roll of toilet paper angrily waving it in the air.

"I'm going to kill you with this!" She promised.

"Where'd you get toilet paper from?" Sakura inquired.

"Forget that, how can you murder with toilet paper?" Ino backed away when she was given a sadistic smile in return and opted to sit closer to the door.

"Well anyways... you guys should shop for outfits-"

"Oh yeah!" Completely forgetting the delicate state Kushina was in, Ino grabbed her and Hinata's wrists in one hand and Sakura's in the other and flew out the door, dragging all three girls with strength no one knew from where.

"Is she gone?" Naruto peeked from an adjacent door.

"You can come out now." Itachi chuckled as the blonde sighed.

"Let's go." Sasuke motioned.

Ino pulled them into a store that neither Hinata nor Kushina would've ever thought of going in to. Sakura seemed just as delighted as Ino as she skimmed the racks.

"Well?"

"This s-store is uh.."

"Vulgar." Kushina snapped.

"No it's not Rap!" Said girl pointed at some shorts nearby and walked over to it. She pulled the zip down, which opened up till the end.

"This is like 'I want it quick'." Hinata became flustered and kept herself from fainting at the mere thought.

"Okay, some of it. But please just try some stuff out! We don't have to buy it.."

And that's how she got the two girls in a dressing room each with half a dozen outfits.

"Hurry it up in there!"

"Try getting something this tight on your body!" Kushina yelled back.

"Hey Ino." Said girl turned around giving a smile to the two boys.

"Yo."

"Have you seen Sakura?" She pointed deep into the store as Naruto disappeared in that direction.

"Ino! Come here and zip up this excuse for a dress." She sighed and got up and was half way there before she stopped, turning around to face a stoic Uchiha.

Kushina felt the curtain behind her slowly open up and didn't bother to look around as she held up her hair.

"Careful on my skin pig." She felt warm hands hold the small of her back and slowly zip up the pale green dress. Wait...how are Ino's hands this big?

"Oh my god!" She stuck her back to the wall as a blushing Sasuke came to vision. "What the fuck are you doing Uchiha!"

"You have a tattoo."

"No shit."

"I have one too." He pulled off his shirt to show her.

"Oh god no!" She covered her eyes before she saw him in all his half naked glory. "Get out!"

"Why? Am I bothering you?"

"I'm not joking Sasuke. Now."

After a while of silence she dropped her hands catiously, and almost screamed. He had confined her between himself and the wall, putting both of his palms close to her face.

"Why so serious Ku-shi-na?"

"I'm going to buy a Taser."

"I don't need a shock to turn me on; you're doing fine by yourself." He traced her jaw with his fingers.

"I-uh,"

"At loss for words?"

"This is my game. I did it first." He bent down and brushed his lips on her ear, just like that time in laser tag.

"Yes, but I do it better." Sasuke caught her knee before it connected to his body, instead put it around his waist and lifted her off the ground.

"Nothing's going to stop me this time." He kissed passed her ear, to her cheek and stopped an inch away from her lips.

"Miss are you done in there? Do you need some help?"

Kushina eyed Sasuke evilly. One word and he could be sent to jail for harassing. He cursed while putting her down and picked up his shirt.

"No, I'm good."

"Alright then."

She heard shuffling of feet and turned to Sasuke with all the authority in the world.

"Out."

The party was out of control. There was so many people that weren't even familiar and most were drunk beyond their minds. Sasuke watched Naruto do the chicken dance on a table as a small crowd cheered him on, making clucking noises at some points. Hinata punched the bartender with Kushina-like attitude and flipped her hair defiantly (as if parallel to her personality). Ino and Sakura were nowhere to be found, and Kushina was-

"Heyyy!" She purred seductively in his ear as he shivered involuntarily.

"You're drunk."

"Damn right I am -hic- and you're.."

"Sexy, I know."

"I was gon to say drunk to!" She became a bit incoherent due to the buzz, and kissed his cheek sloppily.

"Mmm you taste sweet!"

"Stop it." He made no move to actually stop her as she sat down on his lap and kissed his neck.

"Sasuke-kun." His eyes widened as her lips met his. Even as she wasn't in line with his and tasted like too much alcohol she felt soft and warm.

"Kiss me." She said against his lips, pulling on his ebony locks. Sasuke pulled her closer and moved with her, feeling no sensation in this world much in comparison to this moment.

Kushina pulled away with dusted cheeks and a laid back smile, her blue eyes half-lidded. Her purple dress rode up a bit a she wrapped her legs around his waist. His hair was tossled and his shirt was creased from how hard she was clutching it. He crashed his lips to hers once more as she gasped, allowing him to push his tongue in and groan.

"Hey Sasuke!" He pulled away and turned to Naruto as a flash went off. "Heh you guys look cute."

The blonde showed them, Kushina was looking down with a small smile and he glared at the camera frustrated and blushing. The picture did no favour to him, but it was true they looked good.

"Inebriated little.."

"Bye Buena!" What the?

"Sasuke..." She was breathing slowly, as she lay her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and let her doze off as he watched the chaos around.

"Hey you!" He looked up and was met with two really buff guys.

"Are you Uchiha Sasuke?"

"What of it?"

"We've come for the girl, so if you'd kindly hand her over.."

"Fuck off." He tightened his hold on Kushina who stirred. They nodded at each other. Everything went black as Sasuke was hit with a pint nearby, the footsteps of the guys closing in.

"Mmm." He got up and winced when he touched the back of his head, his fingers dripping with cold blood. His whole body ached as he tried to sit up and lean against a wall.

"Sasuke?" His eyes shot up as he heard her groan beside him and stretched out his arms when she almost collapsed.

"Where are we?"

"I don't know." He whispered.

"You're bleeding." Sasuke chuckled at how she seemed to forget the situation they were in and watched her cut off the end of her dress and gently wrap it around his head. "It'll just stop it for now, but we have to get you to the hospital."

"Do you remember anything?"

"Apart from getting flat out drunk and screw Ino to hell for that nope." She saw the disappointment in his eyes. "Something important happen?"

"...no."

The door that none of them knew was there swung open, blinding the room with a bright light. They heard tapping of heels on the concrete floor as a silhouette of a girl came in sight.

"You nabbed the wrong person! I meant a girl who's blonde and blue-eyed."

She came into view slowly.

"Uzumaki Kushina, and Sasuke-kun huh? I should've known you were the one who gave my guys a hard time."

"The girl with meat blocks for feet." Shion flared her nose angrily.

"You better watch it! I didn't want you anyways. Ino is the one I'm after."

"Why?"

"Because she stole from me."

Sasuke heaved and pulled the redhead up. He glared at Shion who moved away and let them pass knowing full well not to mess with the young Uchiha.

"I will get revenge. Tell Ino to watch her back."

He stopped Kushina from saying anything nasty as they left the premises and out into the snow.

"Are you cold?" Her dress wasn't even fit for summer.

"I can handle it." She whined when he draped his jacket on shoulders and pulled her up. Not for the first time today she wrapped her legs around his waist and let him carry her.

"Hospital Sasuke."

"Aa."
