Ok! I am trying a new thing today by writing my first ever fanfiction! I hope that at least someone can enjoy it….
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor its characters….
Moving on…
Overview POV:
The rain is pelting down, ambushing unsuspecting people with its stingingly cold droplets. Everyone in the area scatters this way and that to escape from the rain. Everyone except for a person with an untameable head of golden yellow hair. Instead of running away from the wind and rain, this person is running into it, towards the direction of his part-time job.
Naruto's POV:
Buildings zoom past me as I run with everything I have towards my part-time job. I look down into my arms at the helpless, barely breathing Japanese Bobtail* lying in my arms. Clutching the dying animal close to my chest, I look back up, running forward until I see the familiar sign that reads Konoha Animal Hospital. Using my shoulder I shove the door open. I barely have time to register the bell ringing as I pass through the door.
"Naruto? Did you forget something? Your shift ended fifteen min…" Shizune trails off as her eyes immediately focus on the dying cat in my arms. She gets up so suddenly some of the paper work scatters off of her desk into disarray on the floor. "TSUNADE! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY!" she yells as she hastily opens the operating room door for me to go inside. I hurry, knowing that every second counts. I gently yet as quickly as I could lay the helpless cat down on the table, it's breathing even more unstable.
Just then the door slams open and a woman who looks at least sixty years younger than her age wearing a green cloak-like jacket over a tanish-beige shirt with simple pants burst into the room, her twin pigtails swaying violently. She takes one glance at me, with my blood-soaked hands and bloodstained shirt and then looks at the cat lying on the table. "Naruto," she says with that voice that tells you to just get out of there now. I nod curtly as I brush past her, glancing over my shoulder to look back at the cat before Shizune closes the door, the operating light turning green, showing off the words "IN USE."
I sigh, knowing that I need to call Iruka, the orphanage manager, to let him know that I will be late tonight as well. I start to reach for the phone when I see my hands and more disturbingly, the blood. Walking into the small, cramped bathroom and turning on the sink, washing off the blood and then dry my hands, shaking slightly in fear for that poor cats life. Rage flows through me as I remember that person who I had seen poking it with a stick prior to me rescuing it. Some people are just such idiots anymore.
After finally giving Iruka a ring, I sit in the lobby and wait. I sigh too, because I know that while an animal is being operated on I can't and I mean I just physically cannot leave the hospital. It has always just been a thing, and I don't know when it started. It was just there one day. If I try to leave, well, I found out that I have these nasty panic attacks so I don't try to leave anymore. Looking at the clock in the lobby, I groan at seeing the clock proudly displaying the time of 11:43 pm. "Evil, evil clock!" I think grumpily while glaring at the offending object. After another drawn out sigh, I open my bookbag and pull out my pre-calc text book that I am borrowing from the library. Even though it's summer I still have to keep up my grades if I want to get accepted into the prestigious Hokage High School. I am relying solely on this one test for a full rid, otherwise there is no way on earth, in heaven, nor in hell that I will be able to go.
After about an hour, the door to the hospital is slammed open, the bell making this awful creaking kind of noise. The cause of this is a man in an all black suit with a strange red cloud lined with white embroidered on the upper left of the chest area on the jacket. He is also wearing a tie with that same symbol on it. The man has jet black hair with black eyes,and looks severely sleep deprived with two thick black lines underlying his eyes. His eyes scourge the entry area until landing on me. The next thing I know I am getting shaken around by this man frantically asking me all sorts of questions to which I can only get out "Where is…..ame…...cat…..Kisame's been…" Since I work here I get these kind of situations a lot, but without the shaking, this much is a new experience.
I finally am able to remove his hands from my shoulders and stop the shaking. The man is still going bizerk though. After about fifteen minutes I finally get him calmed down enough to discover that the cat I rescued is his and its name is Kisame.
Just as I arrive on this revelation, Shizune walks out from the back, obviously hearing our conversation because she asks, "Sir, due to electronic ID chip with the cat, I am going to have to ask you to verify your name as well as show me some ID, please.'" She moves swiftly into her chair, typing something into the computer, what I guessed to be the cat's ID code.
"My name is Itachi Uchiha," the man says while showing his ID to Shizune, who gives him a nod of approval.
"Naruto," Shizune's voice turns my attention back to her. "Go on back then go home," she says knowing that if I want to avoid a panic attack I have to see with my own eyes that the cat is healthy. I give her an appreciative smile and head on back. Tsunade is there and tells me that all the blood was an exaggeration of the cat's wound and to take it on back to its owner. I take thesleeign cat back to the front with me. Once the hysteric man's eyes were set on the cat he yelled, "KISAME!" and quickly, yet carefully snatched the cat from me and cuddling it into his chest. Too tired to stay and see what else is going to happen, I make my way out of the door. But as I turn to head home, the pleasant sight of a familiar figure with a sketchpad sitting on the ground outside of the animal hospital with a set of pencils next to them wakes me up enough to smile, but just barely enough.
The guy, after seeing me exiting the building, hastily puts his drawing supplies away. He then stands and walks over to me with a smile giving me a gentle arm hug around the shoulders as we take off towards our houses. Just like all of the other times, he walks past his house by about fifteen minutes until we arrive at this small, lone building with the sign of, "Yondaime Orphanage" displayed above the front steps. Just like always, my companion takes his arm off of my shoulder and then pushes me against the door, his arms blocking my escape to both my right and my left, not that I would try to anyways. This raven-haired man dressed in black fingerless short gloves, a black belly shirt, black pants and sandals then leans in about three-fourths of the distance between our faces, his breath ghosting over my lips. I lean in closing the distance, placing a chaste kiss on his lips.
"Goodnight, Naruto," he says after kissing me again but this time on the forehead.
I give him a big, heartfelt smile and he returns it with a smile of his own. I turn around and open the door as he leaves, waving goodbye before I close the door completely, then locking it because I am always the last one to get home. Wearily climbing the stairs to the second story, I finally stumble my way into my room crashing on the bed. One my face made contact with my pillow and my book-bag hit the floor, it was lights out for me.
Well, what do you think? Please read and review and let me know how I am doing please? This is my first fanfic so I am really nervous…..(;.;) Thanks!
