"I am lord kuraiya's lov... Teacher" she bowed slightly and walked behind kuraiya, acting as his bodyguard.
Alot of whispering was heard, especially from tsunade, "that wretch, she was clearly going to say lover, what is this, another victim or something else".
"Kuraiya, since your back, that's good, we were planning on having some drinks and you're not escaping, your drinking with us", tsunade walked over to him, still a little weary of marcarita from her earlier display.
Marcarita however had her eyes closed, she showed a smile as if she could already sense the weariness.
"Tch, you blue skin, your joining in too" tsunade grabbed kuraiya's arm and pulled him towards the table, "and you too pink head, your free to let loose that built up stress".
"Eh, what, but", "no but's, your joining or I'll have you write a thousand word essay".
Marcarita's eyes went cold when she heard tsunade call her blue skin.
Tsunade shivered and turned around, "what, are you not joining, or could it be, you can't handle alcohol".
"Well it is my first time, so I don't know if I can or not", she walked over to tsunade sizing her up.
"Hmph, we'll see, I hope you can, that way I can have a challenge".
.
A few hours later.
.
Kuraiya's face was bright red, everyone was passed out, except for himself, marcarita tsunade and Sakura surprisingly were still holding on.
"Man, you're good huh, what was your name again" tsunade stared intently at marcarita, to which she replied normally, "just call me marci".
"Mm, marci, it is".
Kuraiya was slowly closing his eyes, barely holding up, tsunade saw this and turned to Sakura, "take him back to his room, he's already completely out of it".
"M.. me, but" "no but's.. me and... Marci, are having ourselves a battle of minds here.. so.. leave us".
Sakura slowly stood up and picked up kuraiya, surprisingly she able to lift him.
Sakura helped reach his door, and he slowly woke up again.
"Who.. oh if ain't my little hedgehog, you've grown" he placed his hand on her head, and ruffled it, before he fell to the floor, with a face plant.
"Ah!, are you okay" she let a soft tone, watching him, face plant.
She picked him up again, opened his door and placed him the bed, "geez, I'm so tired, if I go back now, teacher tsunade will definitely, force me to drink more".
Just as she was about to leave kuraiya, grabbed her arm, "my hedgehog, it needs a cuddle".
"Ahh!" He pulled her towards him with little effort, right now the drunken kuraiya had her in a pillow hug.
"Ah, I can't breathe, what's with this guy's strength".
"Ah, wait don't breath down my neck" her face flushed, she looked up and saw he was completely out of it now.
"Oh no, what if he squeezes tighter, won't I be just like a actual pillow, my bones would be crushed".
She tried to wiggle her way out, after some time she became drowsy, "I can't move, and I can't just stay here".
'snore' 'snore'
.
Next morning.
.
Kuraiya was the first to wake up, he found himself wrapping up Sakura like a pillow, he quickly let go in response.
He then quickly disappeared, "damn, Tsunade's drinks are just too much".
He peaked back into the room, "I didn't crush her right, no she should be fine".
He shook his head, went into the bathroom and he walked right into marcarita, her face right in front of his.
"Dear, you finally woke up" kuraiya almost jumped up like a cat, he just said after walking past her, "of course I am, I need to rinse off, I must've sweated a lot during our drinking".
"Dear, mind if I join".
.
A ten minutes later.
.
Sakura woke up at this time, "ah, my ribs, my back, my arms, this is Tsunade's fault, if she didn't tell me to take him back last night, I wouldn't be used as a pillow".
She stood up, after looking around, "it seems he woke up already, thank god, it would be embarrassing, to wake up at the same time".
As she walked around, she heard noises within the bathroom, "huh?" Her face flushed a red hint, [that guy wouldn't be.]
She didn't know why but she walked in silence towards the sound's, she finally reached the door and saw what she shouldn't have.
She saw kuraiya being bullied, although she wanted to laugh, the scene was too much, Sakura woke up from her stupor and ran away quickly.
[Ahhh, I shouldn't have watched, I shouldn't.]
When she ran out of his room, she saw kuraiya's women, staring at her with expression's of scrutiny.
Tsunade was rubbing her temples, "brat, you didn't do anything to kuraiya did you".
Sakura instantly retorted angrily, "of course not, why would I", her face flushed red again, remembering the scene she just saw.
Tsunade turned her gaze to the room, [that blue woman, is she in there.]
Just as tsunade said this, she the very person, walked out of kuraiya's room.
"Oh, it seems everyone is standing by his door, fufufu" she covered her mouth, with her hand then stared at tsunade.
The air around them became cold.
Kuraiya soon walked out of the room shaking with each step, "what's wrong" he felt the atmosphere was a little strange, so he spoke up.
Everyone turned their heads to his direction, especially marcarita, "dear, you should rest, it's not good to move around, after strenuous.. exercise".
Tsunade glared at marcarita, [did she just specifically emphasize, exercise.]
Kuraiya's lips shook, "I'll be fine, I'm gonna head out for a bit, I need some fresh air".
He didn't stay long and disappeared.
Kuraiya when he left went straight to the village, he was sitting on a roof, waving his one leg in a bored manner.
His eyes narrowed and he saw one his only friends within this world, this was where his jealousy came from, when he was young.
This best friend, was engaged at a young age, he had his first child at fifteen and right now, kuraiya saw the guy.
"As expected, he was taken to the front lines, the guy's arm is missing" he stared down, watching him hold his son, with his only arm left.
Kuraiya jumped down and appeared in front of him, "been a while, hasn't it, saki".
"Who?.." saki pulled his son behind him, with a face of vigilance.
"Relax, it's me, your good buddy, that you always liked to compare to".
"Kuraiya, what happened to you, weren't you a skinny kid back then, did you take your nourishments, for your future brides like you said you would" after a brief second, saki's face showed a look of victory and shock.
Kuraiya's mouth twitched, he turned to the boy, "don't follow your father's advice, you'll be left with nothing but endless torment, if you do".
"Don't put your word's in his head, just because you've gained weight, don't think I won't beat you, like I did back then", saki's face was ferocious, even a little red from embarrassment.
"Tch, you got lucky back then, you even won the woman I wanted to win over, with your lucky move", kuraiya stared at saki's arm again.
This caused saki, to instinctively cover it, "it happened when I first took my c rank mission".
He turned his gaze to his son, before looking back at kuraiya, "you haven't answered my question, did you achieve your dream, or did you turn out like Jiraiya, whom you've always resented".
Kuraiya did a raditz pose, crossed his arms and sneered, "I've achieved my dream, and it's blissful".
Saki's face contorted into full blown jealousy, but what can he do, he's already committed to his own wife.
His son gazed at his dad, like he had seen a new side of him for the first time, "dad, what's this dream your talking about".
Saki, gazed down at the boy, "your too young to know, you shouldn't get involved in this matter either, go on back home, you should take care of your little sister".
Saki pushed him away, and he motioned for kuraiya to follow him.
.
A few minutes later.
.
They arrived at a bar, kuraiya instantly felt an headache coming.
When they entered, saki raised his arm to the bartender, "get us two cups of sake, boss".
When saki sat down, he placed his remaining hand on his chin, if he had two hands he'd look like Sasuke explaining, his goals to kakashi and others.
"So, tell me... how in the hell did you achieve it!".
"Keep your voice down, I know your jealous, but you shouldn't bring other's into our conversation".
Saki growled, "fine, but I still want to know, are they princess's, as you've suggested, you wanted back then".
Kuraiya saw the waiter come over, he filled his cup, took a sip, then responded, "two are princess's".
Saki, almost vomited, his face red with jealousy, he slammed down on the table, "who".
Just as he said this, he saw a raven haired man standing behind kuraiya, his hair was a mess.
Kuraiya turned around, looked up and saw hiashi, "kuraiya, your daughter, I'm afraid, I have ran out of patience, please take her back".
He immediately handed over Gine, and ran away.
Kuraiya just stared blankly the girl, [what the hell did she do to father-in-law, he seemed so scared.]
Saki swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "ah.. ah.. was that the hyuga patriarch, kuraiya, you.. did you".
Kuraiya nodded, still staring at the girl in his arms, "this is Gine, she's the new princess of the hyuga residence".
Saki's mouth twitched, "lucky bastard, who's the other".
"I'll give you a hint, she's a senju".
"Impossible, she's like, double your own age" "as I've said before, I find them attractive, especially if they're lonely".
"So how is yugao" kuraiya mumbled out his musings, yes it's that uzuki yugao, during their school days, three people would fight to gain her favor, of course the lucky guy in front won it.
Though she is three years their senior, they didn't care, naturally at that time kuraiya was deeply resentful, but he quickly moved on and found Hikari, who later ran away for some milk.
"Ah, she's fine, she hasn't stopped training, in her swordsman ship, I barely get to see her, she's always out doing missions, and since my arm was cut off, I've been the house husband".
"Tch, you make it out as if that's a bad thing" kuraiya stared at him with resentment again.
[I still haven't forgotten, nor have I forgiven you for taking my childhood crush.] Saki saw his expression and smiled mischiefly.
Kuraiya wanted to punch him a new one, Gine stirred awake soon after kuraiya shook, she looked around and stared at saki with a beastly gaze.
Saki involuntary shivered, [what's going on, why do I feel like I'll be beaten to pulp all of a sudden.]
