A/N: "Have A Day", pretty much, Have a Day and Having a Day are the same thing, it's not good, but it's not bad...it's just...a Day. This was something I had heard from KibaSin, a one time friend, so credit goes to her and her mother. It was something I thought was cute and silly, but it also fit the chapter below. I hope you all Have A Day~!

Have A Day...?
-x-x-x-
"Hey lady!"
Cerulean blue eyes moved to see a pair of annoyed black eyes staring at her from over the counter. "Hm?"
"You said 'Bring the box with H-B on it and place it on the counter,' right?"
Black wavy locks fell into the young woman's bright eyes as she nodded. "Yes, that's right."
"...yeah, well...you got like eight boxes with H-B on it in the truck..."
"Then bring all eight boxes inside and put them on the counter...please."
He grunted and walked back out. The guy had this bluish tint to him that gave him a very cold look, not in a mean way, but in a cold way. Like...he looked as if he needed a big fluffy sweater...and goulashes. He had dark blue hair too, that kind of stood on end in a military pike cut. Wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt with some kind of black leather jacket or blazer with a red cloud symbol outlined in white on the back.
"You know," The male teenager who had been helping her unload the truck out front said, walking in with two boxes piled in his arms. "I better get something out of this."
She smiled, "We'll see," She continued setting up the shelves behind the counter with porcelain plates and ceramic dolls that would be sold. Along the walls in certain corners of the store were boxes that the boy had previously brought in as she'd requested. He wasn't hired help or anything, just some punk brat that hit on her the second she'd climbed out of the truck.

(Elsewhere)
"─after her and Sasuke broke it off, she started acting like the world was over."
A blonde brushed his hair out of his face before placing the brush on the table and tying the majority of it up in a ponytail, only one of his baby blue eyes were visible as his long bangs partly covered his face. "Your sister is fucking nuts, yeah." He parted the ponytail and pulled the two groups of hair in opposite directions to tighten the ponytail against his head. "No offense, Sasori,"
Sasori rolled his brownish red eyes.
"Deidera!"
The blonde made to turn only to have his head yanked back by his ponytail, staring at a female version of himself, he frowned, "What the hell, Ino?"
"I'm going to the mall with Sakura and TenTen; give me your credit card."
"What's wrong with yours?" He pulled his hair from her tight grip and glared at the girl.
"...it's maxed out..."
Sighing, he pulled out his wallet from his back pocket and pulled out his Visa, "Nothing over five hundred, yeah,"
"Right, right!" She snatched the card and ran off with an extra bounce to her step.
"...and you say my sister is nuts..."
"Ino isn't nuts..." Another voice interrupted; the two turned to see a pale boy about their age with short black hair to the nape of his neck, but cut above his ears neatly, and black eyes that bore into theirs staring back at them.
"Thank you Sai," Deidera said to his other art partner.
Sai gave a counterfeit smile, "...she's a bitch."
Deidera frowned, but didn't argue with the painter.
Sasori smirked, "I stand corrected; Ino is in fact, a bitch." He pulled on his black leather blazer, the red cloud outlined in white centered on the back like all of their jackets.
"Anyways, where the hell is Kisame?" Deidera asked, leaning back on the bleachers where he, Sasori and Sai always sat, usually with three others by the names of Itachi, Kisame and Hidan.
"Itachi said Kisame would be here first, but it's been an hour and he hasn't shown up yet." Sasori muttered.
Sai glanced about at the volleyball team below as they stretched, "What about Itachi and Hidan; are they not coming?"
"Hidan said something about attending some religious crap, and your brother is in the library, yeah." Deidera answered, "He mentioned something about a Geometry test this Friday."
Sai looked Deidera in the eye, not really showing any emotion, just staring, "Step brother, in no way am I related to Itachi and Sasuke, so stop referring to him as my brother."
"Well, you guys are family now, aren't you, yeah?"
"Hardly, their mom, married my dad...those two are together; Itachi, myself and Sasuke just happen to live under the same roof together with our legally recognized parental units."
Deidera laughed at that, "Parental units? Dude, relax a bit, will ya."
"I am relaxed."
"Right..."
Sasori frowned, "Will you two shut up for a moment,"
Deidera pouted, but nodded none the less.
Sasori pulled out his cell phone and called up their missing, off color friend. Listening, he waited as the phone rang a couple times before a rough and slightly out of breath voice could be heard.
"Yo, Deidera, what's up?"
"Deidera?" Sasori looked at the phone and noticed the D in the corner, putting the phone to his ear he clarified the simple mistake made. "It's Sasori, we accidently switched phones."
"Again?"
Deidera leaned over his friends' shoulder, arms wrapped cutely around the red head. Sasori took his cell phone from the blonde and muttered, "Yeah, again."
"You two switch phones almost once a week...well, whatever, what did─CRASH─ah, shit! Hey lady! Lady, you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine...just a little scratch,"
"I'll get a broom and mop and help clean up this mess."
"Its honey, you need a rag and soapy water, otherwise the mop will just spread it around, and don't use a broom; you'll get it all sticky."
"Lady, there's glass all over the floor, what do you want me to do; leave it there?"
Sasori placed his phone...well, Deidera's phone...down after having placed it on speaker.
"No, I want you to bring in the last of the boxes, I'll clean up this mess. It's only a little spill, I've dealt with worse."
"Damn lady, you're stubborn."
"I'll take that as a compliment. Oh...I need to pick up my daughter soon to..."
"You have one of those?"
"Heh, yeah...I have one of those. Her antisocial father wasn't ready to have a baby though; he's still in school...actually..."
"Seriously? Do I know him?"
"...how would I know that?"
"I don't know?"
Sasori sighed, "Kisame,"
"Huh? Oh, Sasori, sorry man. So what's up?"
"Where are you? Since you aren't coming here anytime soon, we'll go to you."
"You know where that toy shop is that you like so much?"
"Madam Chiyo's Marionette Antique Shop, and obviously...it's my grandmothers shop."
"Right, well, I'm across the street from that place."
"That closed down coffee shop?"
"It's no coffee shop, not anymore...look, I got to get back to work, or...helping, whatever, see ya."
Sasori listened to the silence before shutting the phone and handing it to Deidera. "Who's up for a walk?"
Deidera grabbed his bag and Sai pulled his portfolio over his shoulder, watching Sasori as he too stood up. "I'll let Itachi and Hidan know where we will be if they need us or come looking for us."
Sasori glanced curiously back at his blonde friend. "What about Ino?"
"Keh, why would I want Ino to know where I am, yeah,"
Sasori thought over the response to his curious inquiry and smiled, "Your right, forget I asked."

(Back With Kisame)
Kisame held the woman's hand in his slightly larger hand as he dabbed a cotton ball on it, cleaning the antiseptic from the cut before putting a band-aide over the tiny wound.
"Thank you," She smiled, "If you don't mind watching the store for a moment..."
"...you sure? You trust me?"
Kagome laughed, "Yeah...is there a reason I shouldn't?"
He laughed, "Alright, I'll wait here...hey, is it okay if I help set up while I'm waiting?"
Kagome turned from the door and smiled, "Yeah that would be great. The ones with the fabric tied around the jar tops can go on the shelves on the left and then the porcelain, uh, you know what, do what you want, you've been so much help already...have fun!" She smiled and left.
Kisame opened one box, it was a bunch of metal poles and wheels and instructions, looking carefully he noted it to be a circular clothing rack. Immediately he began putting it together by the instructions given to him. He finished it quickly enough, rolling it aside to start on a second rack that was also circular. About five or ten minutes later, he opened another box; three circular racks were to his left, finished. In this box, he found two dozen jars of honey with the cloth coverings over the jar tops. He picked up four and made way to one of the shelves, placing the four down in rows of two, he continued this before placing a jar centered on sets of four. A knock came to the door; next to the door was a bucket of warm soapy water that he'd earlier used to clean up a mess, a bag beside it with shards of glass and honey in it. He saw three of his friends standing at the door and smiled, "Come on in...Don't break anything..." He gave a pointed look to Deidera who laughed.
"I won't break anything, yeah."
"...open a box and start decorating...neatly...you three are all artsy people and such, so this should be easy for you."
"Right,...ooh~!" Deidera's eyes brightened as he looked at one bare wall, "Place the clothes in that corner, no shelves, Sai, you can help me with this project. I hope your new friend won't get mad though..." Deidera looked to Kisame.
"She said I could do what I want...so...I guess as long as you don't break anything...its fine..."
"Cool," Deidera pulled Sai to the empty wall and started talking in hushed tones while Kisame and Sasori watched curiously before getting back to their own tasks.
An hour later and the door opened only for a surprised voice to call out, "Wah~!"
Kisame turned to see a little girl with shoulder length black hair and deep blue eyes holding onto her mother's shoulders. "She looks just like you..."
Kagome smiled, "Only the eyes, she actually looks like her daddy."
"Papa..."
Kagome kissed the girl on the cheek, "Yep," She placed her down; the girl was dressed in a white lacy sundress that was light and flowy.
"How old is she?"
Kagome glanced down at the boy who had just popped up next to her daughter, "Two, she's in daycare..." His messy red hair fell a little in his eyes
"What's her name?"
"Ryoko; Ryo is written with the Kanji for bright, and ko is written with its customary kanji for child."
"Cute..."
Kagome watched her daughter as she held the red head's hand in curiosity and wonder. Her eyes looked into his and just stared. She wasn't used to so many people, aside for Kagome, the daycare aide's and the occasional visit from her father, she rarely saw many people.
Kagome smiled, patting her daughter gently on the head. "Yoko-Chan, did you make a new friend?"
"Mine..."
Kagome placed her hand to her lips to keep herself from laughing out at her daughter. "Just like her dad...mine...so possessive, yet so very childish..." She sighed, walking up to a box, she noted more the half of the boxes, in fact, almost all of them, were empty. "Oh wow, you guys are great...and the shop looks amazing so far." She walked to the back were the blonde still sat staring at her and looked at the wall. In black ink, a tree had been panted, leafless were the branches, and outlines of hills and fields were nestled behind it. "Beautiful...so truly...beautiful..." She looked at the blonde, "You two did this?" She motioned to the blonde and boy with inky black hair.
The boy with inky black hair smiled and stood up, a paint brush in hand, "Yes, we did...I do hope that you don't mind..."
"Not at all!" She smiled, "I love it! You are both so talented!"
"...Sasori is more talented than we are..." The blonde said. Standing up, he took a small step back when her eyes turned to him.
"Sasori? Now...why does that name sound so familiar..."
"I've never met you before, so I don't know why you would know me..."
Kagome turned to the red head and smiled, "No, not you, but I think...yeah...do you know Sakura?"
He made a face; his lips pursed together, something like drinking lemon juice, "Tell me you aren't a friend of my sisters..."
She laughed, "I couldn't even tell you what she looked like...she's dating Sasuke, right?"
Sasori laughed, "Was...you're a friend of Sasuke's?"
"Nope...I've never met him either."
Sasori looked to the other three and frowned, " How do you know them then?"
Her eyes took on a far away look, "I tutored Itachi..."
Ryoko smiled, releasing Sasori as she clapped her hands at the familiar name, "ITA! ITA!"
Their eyes widened, shock was written clearly in there eyes, one thought was running through minds, 'He never mentioned her before...'
