It was loud. The music blasted through the speaker systems and made the ground vibrate at times. This was what Suigetsu enjoyed, completely immersed in a crowd of strangers left to his own devices. Taka was good and all, now that the team was back together, but everyone needed a break from the other. Even if the Uchiha was home for a while. This wasn't Jugo or Sasuke's scene, and no way in hell would he bring along Karin. So they would meet up again in two days' time before hunting down their next target.

The swordsman another drink from the bar he moved through the crowd brushing shoulders with many different people out for a night of fun. The welcoming sting of alcohol ran down his throat, eventually joining the bodies once more on the dance floor. There were plenty of women here that were hot, getting close to some and engaging in conversation with others. But none had fully grabbed his attention quite yet.

That was when Suigetsu's eyes landed on a rather exotic looking female. Her hair was the color of fire and braided down the back till it reached the middle of the spine. Pale complexion, dark eyes, and a killer body. The dark pants were form-fitting, accenting every curve, and a lacey top revealed skin in all the right ways. It wasn't trashy like some of the club goers. Instead, it made her look enticing. Even better, she was all alone as the ninja made his way forward.

"Mind if I join you?"

Turning, their eyes met. Her beauty up close took his breath away as a smile graced her lips.

"Not at all," she said.

Grinning toothily, he was pleased when the sharper teeth did not seem to scare her away in the slightest.

"My name's Suigetsu."

"Cho," she answered loudly over the noise. She still leaned in a bit towards his ear to be sure he heard.

He enjoyed their close proximity as the song changed causing those around them to cheer at the selection. He didn't care what played though as every song drew them closer. They were barely brushing against each other when the young man offered if she wanted anything to drink. Moving towards the bar he acquired a beer for himself, while Cho asked for water cocking a brow in her direction.

"I'll hold you to a drink later," she stated with a wink.

He left to go to the bathroom. The young woman offered to hold his drink.

Suigetsu grinned and deposited the beer into her grasp, "Be back in a moment."

He found his dance partner waiting in the exact same spot he left her. The swordsman downed the rest of the alcohol in a few gulps before leaving it on the bar top. His arm swept out towards the dance floor.

"Shall we?"

They were closer now when dancing, chest to chest. He grasped her hand placing it on his chest before holding Cho's waist with strong hands. She was exactly what he wanted at the end of this evening and no other woman in this club wavered his attention.

Another drink later, on his part, the two were immersed in full conversation off to the side, though the ninja was doing most of the talking. He didn't quite understand why he was being so vocal, but wasn't complaining. He felt giddy, happy, excited and looking out to the dance floor once more he didn't notice Cho pour the rest of the contents in her glass into the plant beside her. Something she had constantly been doing when it concerned hard drinks. His senses were too hazy from the alcohol in his system to notice.
