Thanks for reading and please, reviews if you have anything to say! :)

-Evan!

"Are you pleading guilty to this crime?" The judge's voice echoed through the court room, all eyes squinting and switching targets to focus on. He knew he had no choice in the matter and no matter how good of a case he would come up with right now, he had no evidence. He knew if he didn't put up with this lie right here and now, he would have to face it somewhere else he didn't want to be.

"No, I do not."

Gasps were all that echoed around the room as if they were ghouls mourning for their losses and lives. The gavel banged once…twice…a third time until all the whispers that had evolved into shouts and screams were hushed down to an invisible tone. He closed his eyes and imagined his life already and how hectic this trial was in his schedule. He had already lost so much valuable time on working that new project that was due this week on Friday to present to for the meeting, but no, he was here in court working this damned sentence.

"Well then Mr. Uchiha, until further notice and evidence on the case, you are to be under probation which means staying within the state and 300 hours of community service due to your parking tickets. Take your pick at what you will be doing for the next couple of months." He winced at the number. The judge had a grin planted on her face. He could have just jumped up there and wiped it off, but he restrained himself and kept a clam face on for the public as well as the judge herself.

"I understand." He nodded his head, his black hair waving in and almost flaunting itself. His dark eyes bore into the judge, making her squirm just a bit before banging her gavel once more to dismiss him. He walked elegantly down the hall before the people as they stood there in shock almost, too stunned to move by his piercing eyes and stunning beauty.

He walked right outside of the courthouse, racing down the steps with grace in every step downwards and still stunning people who seemed to be on their way upwards and the same with those traveling down. He hid a smirk behind his hair, his eyes scanning around the area for the black Lexus that was supposed to be his ride out of here. He walked up towards the sidewalk as the car drove up and drove away just as quickly as it had came when the black haired man was inside.

"So, how'd it go?" A blue skinned man asked, closing shut the flip phone in his palm with a snarky grin on his face. "Hn, just community service and probation. I'll kill that Sasuke for those damn parking tickets the next time I see his face." Itachi growled. "Ah, so it was part of Sasuke's doing; I should have known." The smirk slid right off Kisame's face. He disliked it whenever Sasuke got in the way of Itachi, knowing it was to get ahead at the company and to take over the Uchiha Corp. He hated it when he played dirty like that. Sasuke had started off by crashing his computer every once in a while and now sinking low to getting him in court and on the newspaper.

"Mm, I'll have to prepare a comeback for the court though to prove my innocence on this case. My career, reputation and life are at stake here with this damn murder case." He hissed sharply, rubbing his temples and shaking his head. "Calm down, we'll figure out something before the week ends. Just come up with that proposal for the new project for Friday and we can start focusing on that. We already have models of the new distribution and charts ready if they give us the go; all we need is the approval." Kisame attempted at assuring and trying to calm down his partner. He got worried whenever Itachi was like this; it meant overworking and he loved his weekends to himself. As much as he cared for Itachi, he was not the first one to jump in line at a chance to spend a weekend looking at bloody body and murder cases.

"Hn. Good then." He nodded his head and started visualizing his speech and proposal already, getting an outline done and then when he got to the office, he could have it printed out and ready to be shipped off to Hyuuga Inc. His eyes drifted outside the window as well as his attention, focusing on people rushing around on the side walk with newspaper in their hands. He smirked, knowing he had probably made it to the front page already.

"Itachi, we're here." Kisame's voice had snapped him out of his thoughts and his head back out of the clouds. His dark eyes scanned the parking lot of the Uchiha Corp. Head Quarters. He felt pleased to be back home, or what he called home at least.

Itachi's fingers moved quickly and precisely across the keyboard on his new laptop that was purchased due to his insolent brother's hacking of his main computer. He wore the flash drive around his wrist as an assurance Sasuke wasn't able to get anywhere near it without wanting to make physical contact with this brother, which was a rare moment or even a moment at all that would be thought of.

"Hey, Itachi, do we have any of the books that we wanted to donate?" Kisame popped into his office knocking twice quickly.

"Hn." Itachi jerked his head in the direction of the short stack of business and other random books that were in a pile near the wall. "Okay guys, in here." Kisame nodded his head towards the doorway. Itachi's eyes stayed focused on the computer screen for a moment, then he sighed, giving in and deciding to be polite to the new members that were hired at the new book shop. A pink haired girl walked in first along with a blonde haired woman, trailing behind them in the shadows was a man. Itachi squinted his eyes for a split moment to get more of a glimpse of the hidden man, but gave up quickly.

"Hello, I am Uchiha Itachi, President of Uchiha Corporation. Please to meet you all. You are from the book store, correct?" Itachi nodded his head, as the two girls anxiously placed out their hands which quickly fell back into place with their faces falling slightly as well. "It's actually a library, but it could be called a bookstore too." The pink haired girl giggled. "I'm Haruno Sakura and this is Yamanaka Ino." Sakura piped up before Ino could let out a breath. Ino grunted and went back to smiling, "We look forward to working with you."

"Hn, thank you." Itachi nodded his head slightly. They stood there for a while in an awkward silence before the man came out of the shadow. Itachi paid close attention to the blond hair that erupted from the dark, gleaming almost as if it were a halo itself. Azure eyes pierced through his dark ones that seemed as if they were part of an ocean he could get lost in easily as a child at a store. He had a well built body with a slight tan that showed off his muscles a bit more, his age being around 20 to 21 at the most.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto." The blonde placed out his hand as the girls had previously done. Itachi's eyes darted down to the outheld hand and back to Naruto. "You don't know how to shake?" He grinned, his azure eyes easing up and making Itachi want to stare more into them to see any more emotions. His hand went out to shake the tan one, his skin feeling even whiter than necessary. "Are you with the library as well?" Itachi inquired. He already knew the answer, but he felt compelled to make Naruto talk more.

"Yeah, I'm kind of the handy man though." He smiled as their hands broke apart and Itachi's went back within his pocket. "Hn, how many times will you be around to pick up the books?"

"It's your call, basically. Whenever you have a couple of books, just give us a call and we'll be here quicker than you can blink." Naruto winked as he handed Itachi a small card with the library's name and phone number. "Hn, thank you." Itachi nodded and shifted backwards, out of Naruto's way to grab the books. With a single grunt, Naruto lifted the textbook-like books upwards and moved the stack within his arms. Itachi's eyes wandered over to the blonde man, watching his carefully as he was heading out the door with poise even with the ten toppling books in his arms. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Uchiha. I hope to see you later." Naruto turned around quickly and flashed a smile as he turned back towards the door and outside into the hallway.

"Goodbye Itachi! We hope to see you later on." Ino smiled, almost as if she was trying to mimic Naruto's silly yet handsome grin that had caught Itachi's eyes. "It's Uchiha. I'll contact you if we get any more books." He grunted as the girl's face went crestfallen. Sakura just made her way out before she could get the same words spoken to her by Itachi.

He sat there within his office with the door closed, hearing Kisame say goodbye to all three of them and hearing Naruto's voice chime out a thank you and a goodbye. His fingers hovered over the keys, his mind blank on the computer screen. He saved the project quickly and went to Google quickly. He read through a couple of articles on community service, trying to get a clue of what else he could spend his time doing other than adopting a high way or cleaning parks. He had finally clicked on a website where it gave him a list of other projects he could do for the community service hours. Help tutoring children? Pass. Visit nursing homes? No thank you. Participating in school activities? Mm, yes, as if he would get along with a child with no patience. The words finally ran off the computer screen and a smile ran across his lips.

He picked up the card that was given to him and looked at it, fiddling with it as he ran his fingers over the card and finally had the nerve to dial in the number listed.

"Hello? Yes, I was wondering if you had any available positions open for assistance for my community service."

Did it end out the way you expected? XD Thanks for reading and I'll be sure to have a new chapter up every week! Scouts honor!

Until then, see ya laters!
