In about May of 2009, I began writing this fic in a notebook, and refused to type it up in fear of jinxing it. However, without typing it, I still did not acheive the end product of a good story.

So now, I am typing up this story and I am hoping that the people who are kind enough to read and review will send me messages of ideas for the plot. :)

There's supposed to be a background peice that most likely took this chapter up by 200 more words, but I chose not to include it quite yet. I will later.

So please enjoy my story!

Sasuke POV

My alarm only beeped once, and my eyes snapped open. I glared at my infernal clock before turning off my alarm to stop the surplus noise. The morning was always the worst part of my day. Evening was the best. Staying up late was my natural lifestyle. It was impossible to get me to sleep before midnight. As it was impossible to wake me before eight.

After my morning routine, I walked to the kitchen to see breakfast on the table. Shikamaru, one of my roommates was already eating. He hardly even looked up upon my entrance. But I knew he noticed me. All that training had to have done something.

"You ready? Are all of your bags packed?" It's the first day of our new positions." He looked at me, fully expecting me to have forgotten.

"I know. The question is, are you ready? We can't have your laziness and procrastination making us late." I glared at him, then at the high-protein breakfast in front of me. I knew he wouldn't take it personally. He was well aware of my hatred to waking up before noon.

My roommates and I recently joined a body guard company. Shikamaru and I got jobs together, guarding sisters. We would be moving into the house, so that we could be protecting the girls adequately. My other housemate would be holding down the fort until our services were no longer needed. The man who requested our abilities made us very aware that the time period of our jobs would be short. Only until our positions could be filled by more "seasoned" protectors. Nothing but the best for his girls.

After Eating, Shikamaru went to his room to finish packing. We were ready to leave quickly. The estate was an hour away, in an area where the rich and pompous could enjoy their lives away from the ratty apartment buildings of those who live in reality.

Shikamaru and I found no reason to talk on our commute. We held the same expectations of the girls we would be serving, and didn't see why we should elaborate. So after an hour of silence, we pulled into the large courtyard of a driveway.

The intimidating house leered over us. The building was made to put people in their place, as those of a "lower caliber" would be easily frightened by the largeness and power. However, houses like that did not prove any threat to me. I knocked on the giant French doors. A small crack opened, and a tall, imposing man in a suit stepped out.

"You are the two new bodyguards for the ladies, I presume." He said with an air of assumed superiority, and I could tell that he did not approve.

I nodded, and bit my tongue to prevent myself from making a snappy comment. Butlers didn't like that, and I had no need to be making enemies on my first day of work.

"I am Harold, the estate butler. Come this way. Miss Ino and Miss Sakura should be with you shortly."

You see, very short chapter. I will be posting the following one very soon (tonight), but it would be LOVELY if you should be kind enough to review this story. You do not need an account, so that's not an excuse. I do not mind criticism, but I do not appreciate rudeness. Thank you so much!
