[Episode 199664] [Episode 199664]Sakura smirks, sure of her victory: “Would you look at that Anko? I’ve got two Jacks, the Jack of Clubs, and the Jack of Diamonds!!! I think I’ve won our little bet, so I’ll be taking my clothes and money back… She goes to take back her stuff, but Anko grabs her arm to stop her which surprises Sakura greatly. “What gives Anko, can’t you see I’ve won!!!” she angrily snarls. All Anko does is shake her head amusedly…
“Take a closer look at my cards, Sakura and you’ll see why I stopped you, my rubber kitty…” is her cryptic reply. Sakura takes a closer look at Anko’s cards. At first she can’t see what the problem is. All she can see is that Anko has the Ace of Hearts and the Jack of Hearts. Sakura having now taken a closer look realises she actually lost… She sighs in defeat.
Darn it! Looks like I’m her rubber kitten for the next three months. Well, at least that won’t be too bad as being her slave… Wait just a minute! What does she mean? I thought we agreed that would only apply if it was a Blackjack with the Ace of Hearts and King of Hearts. Oh now I see what she means, that’s not the Jack of Hearts, but actually the King of…
All over Kohona, the silence is broken by a loud scream of “WHAT!!!!”, which rattles the windows in a few of the buildings. Over at Naruto’s new mansion, (by this time, he’s moved into the Fourth Hokage’s old clan house because it’s been proven that he’s the Fourth’s son and he’s the heir to his clan) both he and Hinata (Naruto finally got a clue and the two have been dating for the past two years now) get woken up by the scream. Both share a knowing glance, both having had to dig Sakura out of her gambling debts before at one point or another. ’Well, guess Sakura lost her wager with Anko, I sure hope she isn’t going to try and get out of it by doing a runner… I’m NOT going to get her out of THIS mess!’ is the thought running through both their heads. Sakura’s not only learnt how to perform high-level medical jutsus and the secret to her super-strength from Tsunade, but also how to get out of paying off a debt, by any means necessary!
Back with Sakura, she’s still sitting at the table in total shock… She’s broken out of her stupor by Anko: "Alright Sakura, time to hand over the rest over your money and clothes. I want to see just what I’m getting for the next three months!” Sakura, blushing in shame, hands over the last two bits of her clothing reluctantly. She’s the picture of calm, but on the inside she’s swearing up a storm over her bad luck striking again. Anko's face lights up in glee. Sakura’s nude body is well toned, with curves in all the right places! She also can no longer be called boob-less. ’Wow, she’s certainly filled out nicely over the years! This is going to be fun playing with her… By the end of these three months she’ll be begging me for more!’ is the thought running through Anko’s mind. She then speaks up with a smile plastered on her face: "Well then, I think your end of the bet should begin a week from tomorrow at midnight. How about it?"
"Rrrr," growled Sakura in frustration, kicking herself for not only agreeing to the dumb bet, but modifying it with the 'rubber kitten' clause on her part and wondering how on earth she'd get out of that detail! She takes a deep breath to calm down. ’Okay Sakura, calm down… So, you’ve lost to Anko, that’s not too bad, just yet! Now just what did Tsunade teach you to deal with this sort of situation? DAMM IT! I can’t quite recall it…. I think it was something to with getting your opponent totally drunk and then doing a runner. Or was it: instead of running, wait around until they’re recovering from the hangover and claim that their memory of the bet was brought on by the drinking! What was it Inner Me?’ she calls out mentally.
At first she gets no reply… Then, just as she’s about to give up, she hears a dark chuckle: Well well, look who decided to come crawling back! I warned you that making this bet with Anko was a bad idea… But would you listen? NOOO!! You just had to be a baka and continue on, even when it was plain to see you were going to lose. And now, you expect me to help you get out of this? Well forget it sister, you made your bed, now go lie in it! With that, Sakura’s Inner Self cuts the connection. Sakura is speechless, as far back as she can remember, her Inner Self has never left her in the lurch like this before!
Just then a voice called out: "I do hope you plan on holding up your end of this bet in full, Sakura and that does means ALL the conditions," Sakura knew that voice and was shocked to hear it.
