47Author's incoherent ramblings: Ok so for this chappy " * " means you look at the bottom for the meaning of the term.
And NO there is no truth to the rumor that I'll appear in one of Shippuden's omakes. When Kishi contacts me you'll be the first to know.
Chapter 24 Stupid
"What do we do now?" Anko asked the dark haired shinobi. He stood up from where he was thinking silently to himself.
"What is this eiry feeling around the chakra here?"
"We've been running most of the day we should probably rest then make our way back to the Konohagakure and inform Tsunade."
"He probably still can't call her the hokage yet. It is kinda surreal sometimes that someone like her is in the position. Well maybe if he hadn't left he might've taken that position himself someday. But nooooo he has to be difficult."
Orochimaru felt murderous vibes coming from Anko he concluded that he shouldn't be awakening her anger anytime soon.
Anko took another sip of her sake. She eye a ninja in the corner laughing with his friends. She turned unobtrusively to see his headband. Hoshigakure*.
"He hasn't noticed me..."
She slipped off her headband and put it in her coat pocket. She walked by their table and suddenly stumbled catching the table to prevent her falling.
"You ok there miss?" The shinobi's eyes went up and down her body in a apraising way.
"Right on target."
She put a blank dazed look on her face. Something of a drunk expression and did her best to giggle.
"Ew that was disgusting remind to never do that again."
"Yeah I'makay. I just had too much to drink. I should pay attention more to where I'm going."
"I only had one sake cup but what he doesn't know won't harm him. Yet..."
"Well why don't you come sit down and relax I'm sure my friends don't mind."
There was a couple of "No!"s "Not at all!"s from his friends. Anko scooted herself into their booth doing her best to seem uncorodinated.
She didn't sense the yellow snake eyes in the corner staring at her.
Orochimaru leaned up against the wall in the corner. He dug his nails into his palm as he watched Anko talk up the ninja in the corner. He knew what she was doing trying to get information that might help them find either Kabuto or the mysterious shinobi who kept appearing. Nonetheless it still pissed him off. He tried to think of something else. But his mind kept coming back to the scene in front of him. He seriously wanted to kill the man as she moved in closer teasing him. He started to imagine the many different ways he'd go about it.
"Hmm Suffocation by snakes, Snapped neck, Poison in drink..."
He smirked thinking about it. Then his mood turned sour as the poor-excuse-for-a-ninja-if-he-ever-saw-one put his hand on her thigh. His teeth ground together and he briefly wondered if that crunching sound had been his tooth.
If that pervert's hand moved any higher he'd intervene if he moved it somewhere equally inappropriate he'd probably kill him.
Orochimaru watched the man's hand move higher.
Little did that poor shinobi know how close he came to being beheaded that night.
