Chapter 21: Drunk

Shikamaru received the text first thing in the morning. He really didn't plan to wake up early but his phone kept vibrating and he had no choice but to check it because it might be from someone important.

It turned out, the important person who messaged him at such an ungodly hour was Sasuke.

<Chiyoda Ward 21:00. Southern part. Ichigaya area.>

Shikamaru looked down on his phone, his eye twitching in annoyance as he read the message.

"Seriously? Can't he send a more normal looking message?" Shikamaru asked himself as he slid down his bed and took off his shirt, walking towards the shower to start off the day.

Sakura stare at the ceiling of the room, the curtain prevented the sunlight from seeping through but Sakura knew it was already morning. She couldn't help but recount the things that transpired last night. Almost as if everything was just a dream that she would have forgotten by the time she woke up.

But no, she didn't forget a single thing of the events last night as she lied on the bed, arms sprawled around. Letting out a breath, Sakura decided to soak herself in a lukewarm bath.

She doesn't even know if she could go outside and meet Ino. Somehow it feels like whenever she goes outside, there are always people watching her every move. Maybe it was just Jugo keeping an eye on her as per Sasuke's orders.

Jugo.

Sakura doesn't want to sound paranoid but there's an inkling that told her Jugo knew Itachi came last night. But why did he choose not to tell Sasuke?

Better yet, why didn't he stop Itachi?

All those questions will be answered if Sakura gets a chance to talk to him.

And Sakura's chance came right away soon that afternoon.

"You're going out?" Sasuke asked once Sakura walked to the living room.

"Can I go meet with Ino?"

Sasuke glanced her way before he diverted it back to the katana he was examining.

"Where?"

"We're just going to grab some drink in Shinjuku."

Sasuke nodded but stopped for a moment before his eyes glanced back to Sakura. He look at her from head to toe and notice she was wearing something that was too inappropriate to Sasuke's liking.

Sasuke was about to reprimand her and tell her to change her clothes when he stopped himself just in time to comprehend why he even cared. She could be wearing lingerie out there for all he cares.

Yet he felt extremely annoyed at the thought of anyone seeing her in that.

What the hell is wrong with him?

"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura pulled him out of his strange thoughts and Sasuke blinked.

"Bring Jugo with you," he said before looking away. Any longer he looks at her Sasuke might change his mind from letting her go in some nightclub in Shinjuku.

Sakura internally scream in triumph as Sasuke said that. Just what she wanted to hear.

Once Sakura arrived in the parking lot, Jugo was already there standing outside his car. He had to take a second look at Sakura and at what she was wearing. He cleared his throat and took off his coat and handed it to Sakura who look at it in confusion.
