"Sweets, drugs, alcohol, and gambling. How come we're more likely to enjoy all things bad for us?" Emiko asked the other women as they stumbled about. Earlier that day, Tsunade and Emiko had run into Mei, the Mist's current Mizukage. The three of them ended up galavanting around town and getting up to no good together.
"That's a question I'll never know the answer to" Tsunade slurred, making extra sure to put a prolonged emphasis on never. Mei laughed at her answer as Tsunade released a series of hiccups.
"Say, Tamashii" the Mizukage began, while they each stumbled in Shushuya."What're you doing hanging out with Tsunade?" Emiko raised a brow at her question.
"-What do you mean why is she hanging out with me?" Tsunade interjected.
"I'm just curious" Mei shrugged, "Why not hang out with women your age?"
"Not everyone likes gambling" Emiko shrugged, "Besides, I enjoy your company." Both of the women let out a laugh. "Here" Tsunade poured her a shot, "You're far too sober for us"
"Oh" she looked at the shot, shooting the woman a sly glance, "I forgot you two already polished off a bottle of wine together. You're far too kind, Baa-chan."A vein popped in her forehead as Mei bursted into laughter. "I don't know why you find this funny, Terumi." Tsunade shot her a look. "I'm sure you can relate"
"Oh?" her face shaded over, as her tone of voice became increasingly more aggressive. "And why is that?!" Emiko's eyes frantically darted back and forth between the two, scared of how things were about to unfold. Then, the two of them howled in laughter.
Emiko rolled her eyes, deciding that Tsunade had it spot on when she said she was far too sober. Sighing, she decided to pick up the shot, only to be caught off guard by its smell. "Emiko?" Mei stopped, concerned. "Is everything alright?" Tsunade joined in, placing a palm upon her wrist.
"Oh darling, don't make that face! You'll get wrinkles." Tsunade flashed the red head a glance of annoyance, before focusing back on Emiko."Is this Tequila?" Emiko wondered. Tsunade shook her head yes, causing the blonde to set it back down on the table.
"Oh come on, Emiko" Tsunade flashed her a face of disapproval. Mei however, snickered behind her hand, "What's wrong with Tequila?" Emiko shrunk in her seat, as rotten memories flash fired in her mind. "Whaat?" Mei Pressed, "I'm dying to know"
"Remember the night I met you?" She asked the former Kage. Tsunade smirked, remembering the night the both of them won their bet against some geezer. It was the best win of her entire lifetime. "Bright and clear" she smirked.
"Well" Emiko began to explain," before I met you I was going bar hopping" she groaned to Tsunade, "I drank a lot of Tequila, so I got kicked out of the first one for dancing on the bar"
"That's all?" Tsunade laughed. Slowly, Emiko shook her head no. "I'm just getting started"
"Oh my" Mei gasped, causing more laughter to escape Tsunade's lips. "The second one I got kicked out of because of my damn fanboys..."
"What did they do?"
"They were pawing all over me so I gave one a small punch, soo I got kicked out of that bar too."
"Now why do I get the feeling that it wasn't a small punch?" Tsunade laughed. Emiko shrugged, "It was the love tap he was asking for" The three of them broke out into laughter. The surrounding villagers gave them looks of question.
"Men are one of a kind" Mei raised her glass."I'll drink to that" Tsunade clashed her glass to hers. "Me too" Emiko finished. "Anything else?" Mei asked Emiko after she'd taken a drink. "If that's all, it's not as bad as I expected"
