How it begins
Ever since Naruto was young he knew he would be destined for greatness. His father made it into politics at a very young age and was elected state president in the last election three years ago making him the youngest head of state, grandfather was a well known author of adult fiction. That wasn't something Naruto took pride in but his grandfather was more than happy to show case his perverted thoughts. Naruto's fate in his future was crushed almost six years ago the day his mother passed away.
Kushina was a highly respected and very much sought after wedding planner. Her spicy attitude and warm personality was all she needed to become a sensation. Naruto grew up in his father's office, his grandfather's study and his favorite place, his mother's side. She would take him with her to the various wedding locations that ranged from the traditional halls to the unconventional underwater weddings. Though she loved her job, Kushina always said her real dream was to design wedding dresses. Her inability to draw anything apart from a stick figure was what kept her from achieving her dream.
Kushina's death was a result of leukemia attacking her body once again. The cancer was first discovered when Naruto was about 3 so he did not remember much of how ill his mother was till the tumor was removed. But at the age of 11 the memories were a lot more clear and he actually understood that there was a possibility his mother could die. A month after his 12 birthday Kushina's body couldn't take it any more and she passed away. She left behind her a determined husband to keep their only son's life as normal as can be and a son who had lost a little bit of fate in the world.
Naruto had decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a politician as well. He'd pulled himself together during his last two years of high school and managed to pull marks in the top twenty of his class. He got accepted into three out of the five universities he'd applied for but decided to wait another year before beginning school.
Though Naruto had decided to become a politician, he never could walk pass a wedding magazine without picking it up or glancing at it with a bitter sweet smile. At the moment he was doing just that. He'd taken up a summer job in his dad's office delivering and sending mail. He'd placed a bundle of letters onto Kurenai's desk and couldn't help but notice the wedding magazine lying next to her keyboard. Naruto lifted the magazine and skimmed through it stopping at a marked page. Kurenai had circled a dress. It was a typical traditional dress. Naruto continued to study it. He couldn't help but feel like something was missing to the dress.
He looked up surprised when a gentle hand was placed on his shoulder. Kurenai was standing beside him with a smile looking down at the magazine in his hands.
"You know people have been starting to wonder where their mail was."
Naruto smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Must have lost track of time." He said and closed the magazine placing it back on the woman's desk. "So Asuma proposed?" the light blush and sparkle in the woman's eyes was enough of an answer for Naruto.
"Yes he has. Last week." she twirled her hand in front of her face showing off a simple silver band with a shinning little rock in the middle before picking up the magazine and opening the page where she had marked her dress of choice. Naruto was about to leave and continue his mail round when Kurenai once again placed a hand on his shoulder. "You seemed to have some thoughts about the dress" she began "I haven't gotten around asking anybody else yet but I would like to hear your opinion."
Naruto looked down at his mail packed trolley and decided that it didn't matter much now that he was late delivering the mail, nothing was urgent anyway.
"The dress is beautiful. It's simple which will draw more attention to that pretty face of yours." Naruto said with a grin. Kurenai smiled humbly at the complement and watched Naruto's thoughtful face "But..?" she started encouraging the blond to continue.
"It's too boring!" Naruto exclaimed loudly. "It's just a plain white dress! It's well made sure, but it lacks personality which wouldn't suit you at all!" Naruto leaned over he desk and grabbed a black pen. "Not to mention how it totally hides your hot bod!" Kurenai blushed and flicked the younger boy's forehead causing him to smile as he began scribbling all over her wedding dress "It needs some of this," he began and started drawing lines and modifications to the dress "and some of this," he drew a veil on the model's face before reducing some of the volume of the dress.
"See!" Naruto said happily holding back the magazine for Kurenai to admire. The older woman stared at it and blinked
"I don't really see it"
Naruto frowned down at his work. It was really messy but he could figure it out fine. "What if I hold it farther away?" He stepped back and held the magazine up. Kurenia studied it for a moment before emitting a silent "oh!"
"What dya think?" Naruto asked with a grin
"I can see what you mean now but it's still not very clear." Kurenai took another step back and tilted her head thoughtfully. "Naruto-kun would you mind re-sketching that for me?"
The blond teenager looked down at the magazine again "I've never really sketched anything like this before." Kurenai studied the magazine again. "You seem to have a feel for it though." she said with a smile
"Well it could be fun. And it's not like I have anything better to do." It was true since all of his friends were out of the city for summer apart from one friend who stayed to work as well.
"Thank you Naruto! Now I think its best we both get back to work or your father will have both our necks."
Naruto's eyes widen as he remembered exactly what he was supposed to be doing and quickly bid Kurenai goodbye before rushing down the hall delivering the long forgotten mail.
During his round Naruto kept glancing at the folded magazine that was sticking out the side of the trolley. He wasn't sure why he agreed to sketch Kurenai's dress for her. And what bothered him the most was how easy it was for him to think up a new design for the woman based on what he knew about her. The thought of designing a dress, a wedding dress of all things made him think of his mother. What Kurenai asked him to do was her dream. Unlike his mother Naruto had some what of a natural artistic talent. His Grandfather always said he got it from his side of the family.
Naruto was so lost in his thoughts he completely skipped his father's intern desk. He was so surprised when a leg was placed between the wheels of his trolley making him lose balance and fall with said trolley, the remaining mail flying all around him.
"Ah I've been waiting for this particular letter."
The silver haired intern grabbed an envelope as it was flying over his head and smiled tucking it into his orange book.
"You pervert why are you reading that?" Naruto asked as he began reloading the mail back to the trolley. "And why the fuck did you trip me?"
"Tsk tsk," The older man said and tapped Naruto's nose "Now what would your father say if he heard that potty mouth of yours?" Naruto swapped the hand away and made a grab at the man's scarf that was covering half of his face.
Naruto grinned at the man "The same thing he'll say when he sees you reading porn in the office."
Hatake Kakashi had been working with Minato since before he graduated university with a degree in political science. Naruto had some what befriended the silver haired man ever since he caught his father's eye and becoming his shadow. Minato was grooming the younger man into his right hand man and understudy. Kakashi was already more than qualified for the job but Minato refused to promote him just yet.
Naruto finished reloading the trolly and was about to head on straight to his father's office that was just in front of Kakashi's desk when said man bent down and Picked up Kurenai's bridal magazine.
"Naru-chan I believe you forgot something." He said with a smile only evident by the curving of his two eyes.
Naruto turned back to yell at the other for calling him that but was cut short once he noticed what the silver haired man was holding in his hand. Naruto made a jump at him trying to snag away the magazine but the older male was faster.
The blond cursed the other's knowledge in martial arts and dusted himself off taking deep breaths to relax himself and make the flush of embarrassment disappear from his cheeks. "Kakashi, give that back it's not mine." It wouldn't do him good to cause a commotion in the office. He was already on thin ice from all the mayhem he'd caused ever since he started working at the office three weeks ago.
Kakashi ignored the blond and opened the magazine in the bookmarked spot reviling Kurenai's dress and Naruto's modifications. The intern studied the rough sketch thoughtfully all the while avoiding the fanatic grabs and hand waving of the embarrassed blond.
"Did you sketch that?"
Naruto stopped his attempt at grabbing the magazine and nodded while folding his hands in annoyance. "Now give it back!" he demanded and outstretched his hand . Kakashi once again ignored him.
"It's not bad"
Naruto relaxed "Kurenai asked me to re-sketch it for her." Kakashi's eyes shown with realization.
"Hmm, yes I recall Asuma telling me he planned to propose..."
Naruto sweat dropped. This was a man who was supposed to be one of Asuma's closest friends. Honestly sometimes he wondered how such a careless guy could be such a genius.
"You're still planning on studying political science?"
Naruto looked surprised by the question. It was a well known fact especially for the silver haired man that he planned on following in his father's foot steps. But for some reason Naruto couldn't bring himself to response the way he normally does. Instead he nodded curtly and out stretched his hand for the magazine. To his surprise the older male handed it over quietly.
"I see..." was all he said before returning to his desk and resuming his work. Naruto looked at the man, for some reason he felt completely unsure about himself.
He finished his round at his father's secretary's desk handing the man all of his father's mail before making his way down to the mail room.
He opened the door to the rather small room and flopped down on his chair in front of his desk. It was littered with newspapers and books ranging from politician autobiographies to comics and mangas. He threw the wedding magazine on the desk and was about to go get some paper to start Kurenai's sketch when he noticed a sticky note on one of his mangas. He took it off and read it aloud to himself
"Naruto. Me and Izumo went to buy cookies. We might be back." He was about to toss the note onto the trash when he noticed the fine print at the edge
"we probably won't be back so lock up dude". That Kotetsu...Izumo and him worked down in the mail room with him. Kotetsu was known the make Izumo slack off. The blond rolled his eyes and crumbled the note into a small ball. He stood up and aimed for the trash bin at the other side of the room.
"Uzumaki shoots" he said and threw the small ball "and sco-"
There was a sudden bang from where the trash was. Naruto jumped back surprised as the wall suddenly swirled up reveling what only can be described as a worm hole in the wall. "WHAT THE FUCK?" Naruto exclaimed as wind began blowing out messing up the whole room. Letters flew everywhere and Naruto himself was thrown back onto the opposite wall, the trash following and hitting him in the face. He quickly moved it aside and spat out Kotetsu's note and watched the hole in the wall barley keeping his eyes open from the force of the wind. Something was coming. Something big. Naruto watched shocked as someone flew out of the hole. Naruto shouted in terror as the figure came crashing into him.
