Thank you to everyone that reviewed my last chapter. I'm glad that you liked it. So here is the next chapter. Please review. It always helps me to get the chapters out quicker.
Chapter 2
"AKARI, I NEED YOU IN MY OFFICE NOW." yelled Iruka
Akari slowly opened the door and replied "You needed to see me, sir."
"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS? WHAT'S GOING ON?" yelled Iruka, holding up some papers that was on his desk.
"Um, I.. I'm sorry sir, but it seems one of your investors is pulling all of their funds from the company." replied Akari
Growling, Iruka asked "Did they give a reason as to why they are pulling?"
Akari started thinking to herself "I really don't want to tell him the reason. Why does it have to be me. What am I going to say, sorry sir they don't like your attitude. You're a rude, obnoxious, spoiled little rich kid."
"Well, I'm waiting." said Iruka, tapping his fingers on the desk.
"Uh, right. Th….They said they didn't like your attitude and that they were going to do their business somewhere where they were appreciated more.I…I'm sorry, sir." replied Akari
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN." screamed Iruka. Growling he said "Fine, whatever. Let them do whatever they want."
Really wanting to get out of the office as soon as possible, Akari looked over at her boss and asked "Is there anything else you need, sir?"
"No, just leave. Don't let anyone bother me the rest of the day." replied Iruka
"Yes, sir." said Akari, almost running out of the office.
Iruka walked over to the window and sat on the bench with one leg on top pulled up to his chest and the other planted on the floor thinking to himself "It's been a week since I met with Sandaime and told me that I needed to have my own business acquaintances. I don't know what to do. I've tried to talk to other people, even within the company, but I can't, without at some point loosing my temper. People frustrate me to no end. Ever since my parents were killed, I don't really want to associate with other people. Since then, I haven't allowed myself close to anyone. I made a promise to my parents and myself that I would never let something like that happen again, but look where it's got me. I'm about to loose it anyway, just because I never made any friends. How ironic." Letting his mind run away on what he should do.
"Hm, I wonder how long I've been sitting here?" thought Iruka, looking over at the clock he realized that it was almost noon. "Well, I guess I might as well go get something to eat and come back and figure out what to do next."
Getting up, Iruka walked back over to his chair to put his things away. Once finished, he picked up his jacket and walked out the door, locking it behind him.
"I'm going to lunch." said Iruka "I'll be gone a little longer today, so if someone calls just take a message."
"Yes, sir" replied Akari "Do you need me get a car for you?"
"No" replied Iruka, walking over to the door. Making Akari raise an eyebrow. "What's with THAT. He always wants a car. Besides I thought he's not allowed to go anywhere by himself." thought Akari
Not wanting to ask, but knowing she had to, Akari asked "Are….Are you sure that's ok, sir. I thought you weren't suppose to leave by yourself."
Growling, Iruka turned around and looked at his secretary and replied "That is none of your business." and walking out the door. "What do people think I can't take care of myself." thought Iruka
Akari, flinching from the tone of his voice squeaked out "Yes, sir."

Walking out of the building, Iruka started to head down the road. "It really has been a long time since I've done this." thought Iruka.Walking down the street, he saw a new place. "I don't ever remember seeing that place before. I wonder how long it's been here. Of course, I haven't come this way since my parents were killed. Maybe I'll go see what it's like. It's been awhile since I've had a drink. Since I'm still working, I'll just have one. Maybe that'll help the rest of the day go better."
Walking in he was greeted by a brown haired man "Hello, my name is Genma. Welcome to Konoha Bar & Grill. Would you like to sit at the bar or in a booth."
"Um, a booth." replied Iruka "If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been in business here?"
"We've been open for five years." replied Genma, making the tanned man eyes go wide.
Genma, chuckling at his expression, asked "Have you been gone for awhile." offering him a booth to sit at.
Looking down at the table, Iruka replied "No, I just haven't been down this way for awhile."
"I see. Well here's the menu. Would you like anything to drink?" asked Genma
"Yeah, just some sake." replied Iruka
"Alright, I'll go get your drink and be back to take your order." said Genma
Getting the drink ready, Genma looked over at Kakashi and asked "Hey Kakashi, can you take this to table 5 for me. I have a couple other orders I need to get. He still needs to place his order too."
"Sure, no problem." replied Kakashi, walking out of the back to wait on table 5.
Once reaching the table, Kakashi sat the drink in front of the man and asked "Are you ready to order?"
The man still looking at the menu, replied "Yes, I'll have the seafood tempura and…" his eyes going wide when he realized who he was talking to.
Looking up when the man stopped mid order, Kakashi eyes went wide for a second then narrowed and yelled 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M DOING, IDIOT." replied Iruka
I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD STOOP THIS LOW TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. I FIGURED YOU WOULD BE GOING TO THOSE HIGH CLASS FANCY RESTAURANTS. BESIDES I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST LOW LIFE SCUM TO YOU." yelled Kakashi
Raidou and Genma hearing the yelling, came running from the back to see what was going on.
Standing up, Iruka yelled "YOU KNOW WHAT, JUST FORGET IT. I DON'T WANT TO ORDER ANYTHING FROM YOU. YOUR RIGHT, YOU'RE TO BELOW ME TO HAVE ANYTHING THAT WOULD TASTE EVEN HALF WAY DECENT." throwing the menu across the table and walking out the door.
"YEAH WELL I WOULDN'T WANT TO SERVE SOME ARROGANT JERK LIKE YOU ANYWAY." yelled Kakashi
Genma and Raidou came running up behind Kakashi, and Raidou asked "What was that all about?"
Sighing and rubbing his hand over his face, Kakashi replied "That was the guy I ran into last week."
"The one that called you a low life scum?" asked Genma
"Yes" replied Kakashi "I can't believe he came in here."
"He actually seemed nice when he came in. He also, I don't know, looked lonely. Although it only showed for about a second before he hid it again." said Genma
"Yeah, well whatever possessed him to come in here, I hope he never shows up again." replied Kakashi walking to the back of the bar. Leaving both Raidou and Genma looking at each other a little confused.
"You know I don't think I've ever seen Kakashi act like that before." said Raidou
"Yeah, me either." replied Genma
________________________________________________________________________
"I can't believe of all the places that I had to go, that he had to be there." thought Iruka "With that attitude, I'm surprised he even has customers. I bet the owner doesn't even realize it. Ugh! I didn't get anything to eat either. All well, I'll just forget it. I'm not in the mood to eat anywhere any way." he thought as he continued back to his office.
"I'm back" said Iruka "Any messages?" walking over towards his office.
"No, sir." replied Akari
"Good! No one is to bother me is that understood?" said Iruka, opening the door and slamming it shut behind him.
"Yes, sir." replied Akari. "Great, I wonder what happened to him. He's in a worse mood now than before he left." thought Akari
Sighing he walked over to his desk, leaning over and placing his hands on his desk and said "What am I going to do? Every time I try to be nice, something happens that my temper flares." Once again loosing his temper, Iruka threw the papers off the desk in one swipe. The papers scattering all over the floor. Slamming his fist into the desk, leaving a hole where he hit it. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Iruka walked over to his chair and sat down, putting his head in his hands thinking to himself "Why do I have to make friends. I don't need any friends. Their only trouble. Look where it got my father. I'm going back and talking to that old geezer tomorrow. This is crazy. He doesn't need to be interfering in my personal life."
Once calmed back down, Iruka started to come up with a plan when he met with Sandaime tomorrow. Once finished, he looked at the clock and realized that it was about time to leave for the day. "Wow, that made the rest of the day go fast. Now I can get out of here." thought Iruka, putting his things away for the day and getting ready to leave. Once finished, he walked over to the door to leave.
Once outside his office, he looked at his secretary and said "I'm leaving."
"See you tomorrow, sir." said Akari "Do you need me to have a car brought to the front for you?"
"No, I'm going to walk." replied Iruka, walking over to the door to leave
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then." said Akari
"Yeah" replied Iruka
"Something's really different with him this past week. It's been since that meeting he went to. I wonder what could have possibly happened." thought Akari "All well, time for me to go home and take a nice, long hot bath. Hehe."

Iruka started to walk down the road not really noticing where he was heading. Looking up he realized he had stopped across the street from the bar that he was at earlier. "Why am I back here. I wasn't even really paying attention to where I was going, which is really bad. Besides it's not like I want to see that idiot again. I don't understand why he irritates me so much. Any way I'd better get home." thought Iruka, continuing down the road. Not noticing that someone was watching him in the shadows.
