Chapter two, yay! This time, more characters appear. :3 Yeah, it's about the same length of the first chapter, but I think it's going to get more interesting for sure. Hope you like it!

The Assignment

A Call
--
Once again, she was alone in the house since her brother was out to get art supplies for his latest client. She had heard her brother argue over what mediums to use. But, to make the client happy, he had no other choice but to get the art materials. Her brother had just gotten out of college with a specialty in every medium in art. He was extremely successful- the car and location of house proved it.
She looked out the window, depressed. Actually, she wanted to have the guy from yesterday come walking past the house, but it was obvious he wasn't going to come. This led her to wonder why he had stopped at her house anyway. Probably just walking past one random day…
Ring.
She turned her head, hearing the phone ring from downstairs. Sighing, she stood up and walked out of the room and bounded down the stairs to reach the phone in time. Picking up the receiver, she put it up to her ear before speaking. "Hello?"
"Is Kuneshi there?"
The male voice made her uneasy; she didn't like how smooth or how dark it sounded to her. The briefest thought of hanging up on him flashed through her mind. "Hello?"
"Uh," she was torn out of her thoughts "sorry. May I ask who's calling?"
"It is his latest client, Uchiha Itachi. I would like to speak to him please."
"Sorry, but here's not here at the moment."
"Oh," Itachi said thoughtfully, "then do you-"
"Itachi, I need the phone." A voice on his end of the line spoke up from the background. A sigh that was hinted with exasperation came from Itachi as she heard something go over the phone as to muffle the conversation. It didn't help. "Go use your cell phone, Sasuke."
"That's why I need the phone in order to call Naruto; I left it at his house when I was working on that damned History project."
"Patience, little brother."
"Don't call me that."
She heard Itachi chuckle and move whatever was one the phone once more. "Sorry," he began, "do you know a time when he's there so I may talk to him?"
Her mind drew a blank on what to say, but she blurted out something anyway. "Three in the afternoon tomorrow."
"Excellent," he remarked, "thank you for your time."
He hung up, leaving her in both slight confusion and partially fear. One being the thought of him calling back and the second was how he spoke. There was something about it that she didn't like. But, the name Sasuke was familiar, the same for Naruto. They were probably in one of her classes at school. The place was big enough for anyone to get severely lost if they were there for the first time. She hung up the phone when it started beeping at her and headed upstairs. Slowly, she made it back to her room to write down something in that stupid journal of hers.
Dream/Nightmare
A man called today asking for my brother about something
I shouldn't really be saying this, but I didn't like the way
his voice sounded. Not like it sounded sick, but more like
… I don't really know how to describe what it sounded like
to me. It's the kind of voice that gives someone shivers if
they heard it themselves. It sounded almost like he was
dead.

End of chapter two.
Whoo! End of chapter two! Yeah, like I said before, it's short. I made it so Itachi doesn't used conjunctions in his speech. (It is like this, if you do not understand.) Yep, so actual characters from Naruto are in here now, which also means they shall appear forever more in the other chapters. Please rate and review! :D
