Yet another story... they just keep popping up... for those of you who read my others! notice: my brain is on overdrive so it can't seem to follow any order... then again when has it ever but I'll just be spearadically updating whatever I have the urge to write at the time... or whatever has more reviews... hint hint nudge nudge
disclaimer: Don't own anything named Naruto around these parts... (I wish I had a southern accent)
A train whistle blew loudly as a breeze played in blond locks. Bleary blue eyes opened slowly as a young man woke up. Looking out at the station number he read 22. 'Hmm... 22... why does that sound familiar... SHIT! THIS IS MY STOP!' Jumping around in haste he snatched his bags and flew out the train door. Panting he put his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. A light touch on his shoulder made him jump.
"Sorry if I startled you. My name is Iruka. You wouldn't happen to be Naruto Uzumaki would you?"
The blond stared at the seemingly kind man, a scar maring his gentle face. He nodded dumbly. A smile broke out on the former's face. "Good then if you'd be so kind as to follow me. We have a car to take us to the Uchiha estate."
Naruto, with a smile of his own, picked up his bags, following behind Iruka.
He gasped when he saw a black limosuine glittering in the sun. He almost went into cardiac arrest when Iruka happend to walk over to said vehicle and open to the door gesturing him to climb in. Sprinting over he threw his bags in and almost squealed in joy.
Iruka laughed at the childlike behavior. "I take it you've never been in a limo?"
Naruto shook his head as he poked around curiously. Iruka smiled something about this kid was diffrenet than the rest of them.
"Well Naruto I should tell you the rules and what will be required of you at the ranch." The kind man spoke.
Naruto turned around to face the brown haired man. "Ok they didn't really tell me much about it before."
"It's pretty simple really I assume you have expierence with horses?"
"Grew up with them, was practically one myself." Naruto laughed.
Iruka smiled. "Good, your job will depend on what Itachi assigns you for the day. We post the jobs for the newbies on a board in the office. You'll see it when you get a tour of the place. Their are very few rules mainly Itachi's word is law and Sasuke's follows as second in command. Don't slack off and you'll do fine."
"Hmm.. The Uchiha's eh? I've heard a bit about them." he grinned widely at the memory of his fangirl friend back home. 'Wonder how Sakura's doing.' a wistful smile appeared on his face.
"Where here." Iruka interuppted his musing.
Sasuke burst into the room, glaring angrily at his Aniki.
Itachi raised an eyebrow at the angry teen. "Outou may I ask what I have done now?"
"You hired some kid from the middle of no where and assigned him to taking care of our personal horses! That's what's you've done!"
Itachi smirked. "Perhaps you will change your mind when you meet him. He is your age you know."
The younger raven scowled. "Don't care put Neji back on taking care of my horses. I could care less about what happens to yours."
'Hmm fine I'll make a bet with you." Itachi said his eyes scheaming. "My new employee takes care of our horses for a week if you don't like his caretakign abilties after that i'll assign him something different."
"And why should I do this?"
Itachi's eyes gleemed brightly with hidden knowledge. "It will be your loss but I'll allow you to have first pick on next years fouls."
"And what do you get out of this?" Sasuke asked caustiusly.
"Why foolish little brother I will simply enjoy you loosing... and getting to keep Naruto to myself." Itachi whispered the last part.
Sasuke stared at him strangly before spotting a familiar black vehicle driving up the road.
"He's here." the raven spat out bitterly.
Naruto looked out the window as they drove up the long driveway. He gasped at the beauty of the place.Fences created a introgent weave, large green fields spotted with splashes of color from various horses fanned out covering the surrounding area. The setting sun maked the barn and house glow in a soft orange light. The soft sounds of a horsebarn with the sweet scent of hay and summer air drifted into through the window.
"It's gorgeous."
"Yes you never grow tired of it." Iruka spoke also admiring the beautiful ranch.
Itachi walked calmly down the stairs, out the front door. Sasuke stood next to him on the porch, an intimidating frown set upon his face.
"He better be the best employee you've ever hired if you want a chance to win this bet."
Itachi just smirked as the vehicle pulled to a stop before them.
Hope you liked it... just a quick prolounge till I get the urge to write a full chap!
