I Need to Go to Work

Okay, this is the sequel that everyone requested, JUST REVIEW OR I'LL HOLE PUNCH HOLES INTO YOUR BRAINS!! No, this is the not the multi chappie story, I have decided to release it on my birthday, which just happens to be on Janurary 21st. Which is twenty days after New Years Day. I'm going to make this story short. About 3-5 chappies.
Sakura ran down the streets balancing a tray with three coffees on it. One with cream only, one plain and one double double. She had remembered that since the first day of her new job. It was five years after she graduated from Konoha High, Honour Role student. She hadn't been in contact with her fellow graduates since the day she left for college for she was swamped with work the day she got there.
When she got to the familiar white building that she saw every week day, she ran through the doors and went to the elevator. She pressed the same buttons she did every week day. She entered the third door to her right, the same routine every morning.
"Here's your coffee Yukiko," she said sliding the coffee cup down the smooth counter to her left. Yukiko caught the steaming cup.
"Thanks."
"Good morning! How were the kids? Good? That's a relief, hope they didn't cause you any trouble, don't forget your coffee!" she passed the cup to a middle aged woman. She continued her way down the crowded hallway. Zigzagging through the familiar co-workers she saw almost everyday.
Finally, she reached the big glass doors that she just couldn't wait to open every morning for she was welcomed with the warmest person that ever lived, her boss.
"Good morning Tsunade-sensei," she greeted,still using the way she use to address her from when her boss was her old principal, she had changed careers about 2 years back along with Shizune, an old secretary at her school.
"Here's your coffee, double double as usual," she smiled at her.
"Thank you," she sipped the coffee. "It's good," she sighed, "how do you manage to keep it warm? What's your secret?" She joked raising an eyebrow.
"It's a secret," she slipped out the room and headed to her office.
It was the same every morning. She always felt good about herself. No one here except her boss and Shizune knew about her painful past. But Tsunade and Shizune never mentioned it to anyone. She was popular amongst her co-workers, everyone was nice and no one put done anyone. It was the perfect world for her ever since she had started her job here. Life was wonderful.
She took off her coat and began work, she opened up her laptop, found the file she was working on and started on it.
She was a journalist in the popular magazine 'Ohayo Japan!' It was currently a publishing giant in Japan. It also published other popular magazines such as 'Itadakimasu!' and 'Moshi Moshi?' She writes articles about the developement of Japan and about the entertainment industry. She was very famous right now but she used a pen name for she thought that she couldn't handle the fame. She was writing about a CD album that was being released in the next year by various artists.
She finished the article 5 hours before her deadline. She got up and stretched. At least she could have some free time. She went to the kitchen and poured herself a cup of tea chatting with the others workers who had also finished their work early like she had. They usually talked about problems in the company or problems at home. But today, it was different.
"Chinatsu was fired," said Yukiko out of the blue.
"Really? Why?" Sakura was confused, she thought this would never happen in a million years.
"She was caught stealing some supplies and stuff," answered Kenji, another co-worker.
"They are hiring some new guy, we just know that it's a man," piped up another co-worker.
Suddenly, Shizune came in and asked for all of their articles to be sent over to the basement, where they print out the magazines. She said that she was changing the deadline to an hour later. Everyone rushed to their offices and sent the email down. She wondered who the new co-worker might be. She was hoping it was someone who wasn't very mean because she liked it the way it was right now at her workplace.
The next thing she knew it, it was time for lunch. She closed her laptop and left the office.

It was the next morning, she rushed down the streets balancing the coffee tray, running through the obstacles everyone else was making as they walked to their destination in the early morning. She had the same coffees, one double double, one cream only, and one plain. She pushed through the familiar doors that she saw almost everyday now and took the elevator up, third door to her right.
She passed the coffee around and set to work on a new article. It was a normal day like any other except Chinatsu wasn't here. She still couldn't believe that she was fired. All the time she had been working here, she had never heard of anyone being fired. Also, Chinatsu was so nice, like a mother to her. How could she have been doing something so disrespectful like stealing supplies?
Suddenly her pager rang. It was Tsunade calling her to go meet the new co-worker. She saved her article and headed towards the lobby. Little did she know, this would be one of the suprises of her life...
---
She saw a crowd of people crowded around Tsunade. The girls had hearts in their eyes. It was probably some hunk, she thought. She tried to push through the crowd to try to see who it was. When she finally managed her way through, she saw someone that she thought she would never see again.
Oh well, it's a little short...but the coming chapters will be longer promise. None of the magazines are real for I made them all up. Even the CD that Sakura was writing about is fictional. Well...REVIEW!!!!
