Chapter 2
Oh yeah! On a role here! Already for the next chapter and this is when I think thing's get interesting. Naruto wakes up to go to work and could just feel the magic in the air. Little did he know it was because of the neko Garra. What will happen when he finds the cat after work? Let's see….
Naruto POV
Waking up I could feel something was off. I looked around my dorm but nothing seemed different. My clothes were still everywhere and my poster's were still up. My TV wasn't missing or the microwave or mini fridge. I still could feel it though. I didn't know if it was good or bad but my window was open…weird, I thought I closed it last night after I got done with my school crap. Maybe that was it. My room was way to cold. I guess it's my own stupid fault. I'm just happy an owl or something didn't fly in trying to eat my ramen. Hey, Halloween was right around the corner so I really think it could happen. No one gets my ramen but me though, especially no stupid bird.
I check the time and I got time for a nice hot shower. I'm glad too because I really don't think my Kurama fox blanket really can keep me warm right now. I slip into my slippers and find my work clothes. Easy enough seeing as it's the only thing I ever really hang up. Chōza Akimichi get's on my case if I don't look good while serving customers. I normally don't really like the formal look but I think I look good in a nice button up white shirt and black slacks. Plus my ma had to teach me how to tie my bowtie because my dad doesn't know how. You can really tell my family only just became powerful by the way we act and dress.
I closed my window and went to my closet. Once I got my uniform I headed to the shower. I'm glad Konaha Tech. has dorms with bathrooms because I don't think I could just shower with a bunch of guys. I'm not homophobic or anything but I know a lot of the guys in this particular building are gay. I think because so many gay guys are her they put in the individual bathrooms. Way too many steamy shower scenes were happening before I hear and with me being as clumsy as I am, dropping the soap is a really possibility. I never should have watched that damn jail movie. Who the hell does that kind of crap? Good thing I know Taijustu. I dare some pedo-bear to come after my assets.
After I got out the shower feeling refreshed and ready to go, I got dressed and headed out. A quick tram ride and I'm at Konaha main street bistro. I wish I knew what bistro meant. I head in through the back to punch in.
"Hey there Naruto, right on time." Chōza said to me from the kitchen.
"Hello there boss man, how's the food going?" I say with a big grin. I always flash him the same grin to make sure he doesn't fire me for some of the stupid stuff I do. So far, it's working. I think we get along so well because he works with my favorite ramen man, Teuchi. His ramen is heaven and whenever I have some extra money, I get a large serving of miso ramen with roasted pork fillet. His daughter Ayame works with me too and I do love to watch her work. She's the reason for almost half of my accidents on the job. She's just way too pretty to not watch as she walks and if someone get's in my way while I'm walking, it sucks to be them. I really should have been canned by now.
"The food is good and tasty as always. I got a pick up for table 14 here, could you take it out?" Chōza Asked me. He flips a steak onto a plate with the most grace I've seen out of a fat man in all my life. He's a real artist in the kitchen.
"Sure. Where's granny?" I say while grabbing my platter. My boss is also my God mother. An evil tyrant if I have even seen one. She's well into 60's I think but with all the plastic surgery she has had, she looks 30. I think they filled her giant boobs with more evil just to give her more power.
"Lady Tsunade is out front greeting customers." Chōza laughed at my nickname for our boss. She hated it with a furry and I don't think if I wasn't her god son, she would let me call her that.
"Good, maybe she can put all that money and plastic to work." I laugh off. I look back at Chōza to see why he isn't laughing and I see his paler than milk. "She's right behind me, isn't she?..."
"Well hello there soon to be ex-god son." I hear behind me in a deadly cold and low voice. I turn to see a pair of huge jugs and a pissed face. I gulp.
"Why is it that you're still in the kitchen joking around when your shift started 10 minutes ago? Or do you have a death with today because I'm passing out ass handings for free." Baa-chan told me with her forehead veins popping and a chilling smile.
"I…uh…I was…platter…" I tried to say but I just could wrap my head around a clear thought. Fear does that to many people and I think I might wet myself too with the flames I see coming off of her.
"GET TO WORK YOU USELESS IDIOT!" baa-chan screamed. I ran out of the kitchen before she could kill me. I'm just happy I actually remembered the food or I would have really died going back and baa-chan would have a new Naruto Rump special on the menu. I can hear her going off in back to all the kitchen staff. I feel sorry for them, I really do, but it's every man for himself when she gets pissed.
I get out to the main dining area and I bring table 14 their order. I see Sasuke's older brother with his friends I would guess. There's this one guy giving me a creepy look. I don't think I like that look and seeing as one of his eyes is covered his blonde hair, it makes it even worse. What kind of guy wears a pony tail that high but pedo-bears?
"Your order gentlemen, anything else?" I say with a fake smile that just screamed 'don't ask for anything else or I will spit in your food', but the creeper didn't seem to care.
"Yeah, how about your number and your naked body in my bed by midnight?" he says. I was right, today is not my day.
"I'm sorry; I'm not on the menu, how about a nice restraining order?" I say with the same smile on but ever more 'leave me alone rapist!' in it, but this guy is persistent.
"I've seen the future though. I say you under me begging for more and who can argue with the gods?" he says while holding my hand. I want to slap his until his head makes a full 360 but couldn't because I'm at work. Why do I always get the creepy ones?
"Deidara, leave the boy alone. Sasuke already told me he doesn't like guys like you." Itachi told the freak. I guess he didn't believe him because he fallowed up with,
"But Itachi, how could I pass this perfect golden brown treat without at taste or is this just a trick so you can have him all to yourself?"
I think I'm going to blow but tried to stay calm. I pull my hand free and start to walk away when I feel a tug and fall back into the jackasses lap. My cheeks flair up when I feel what I hope is a really big cell phone in his pocket.
"See? Now doesn't this feel like it was supposed to happen?" he whispers into my ear. He licks the outside of my ear as he rubs my thighs.
"What the hell do you think your doing to my workers!?" I hear baa-chan yell as she storms out and couldn't be happier to see her.
"Just being friendly. Hopefully I could bee friendly later this night again?" he says. I jump up and almost run off behind her.
"Hell no!" I say. Finally I can act the way I want.
"You can go be friendly somewhere else because my employees don't need you around harassing them!" she says while pulling the guy out of his seat. Baa-chan is way stronger than she looks and that's how she got this kind of job in the first place. She won it in an arm wrestling contest. He gets look of fear in his eyes once his feet were off the ground.
"Okay, I'll leave." He says. Him and the rest of those guys stumble out of here. He looked back though, to smile and wave like I was his pet or something. I flipped him off and baa-chan slaps my hand.
"Don't be so stupid to get into a situation like that again, I'm not here to watch over you." She tells me like I had a choice.
"The creep pulled me down! I couldn't help it. I was going to punch him into next week when you came around and tossed him out." I said, feeling like I had to defend my manhood. I'm not just some little cat toy someone could just paw around with. (Perfect allusion. Look it up if you didn't pass or don't remember English class)
"Just be more careful okay? Rape isn't funny, be it male or female and that guy was definitely a rapist." Baa-chan told me. She actually looked kinda worried so I just nodded.
"Now back to work please, I know table 5 needs waiting."

After a long day it was finally 4, quitting time. The rest of the day was good after the whole rapist incident. I even got to talk to Ayame for a little while and I think I'm in love. I knew I liked her before but any woman who can make ramen like her, be as cute as her and be as funny as her is my perfect woman. I was so ready to ask her for her number but then the day was over already. Choji is on the next shift and he always grossed Ayame out so our conversation died as soon as she saw him coming in. Damn my bad luck today!
"You know Choji; sometimes I hate this job…" I told him once he was next to me.
"How? You get to eat here for half off and everything is great!" He said while polishing off a bag of barbeque chips.
"Of course you like it; it's your dad cooking most of the good stuff. Me on the other hand, all I get is pain and heart break from baa-chan and Ayame." I say ready to give up on life.
"Sucks to be you" he said then walked off to punch in. I know it sucks to be me sometimes but I still don't think he had to point it out. I get all the worlds problems it seems. Maybe Jiraiya is screwing with me up there. It seems like something he would do.
I pop in my headphones and start to walk on to the tram station. Florence and the machine are playing in my ears as I dance my way down the street. I know people are looking but I don't care, I love this band. People don't know how to have fun now a days and I won't just fallow the flow of others. I got my own style and groove. I do my little turns and moon walk down the road with the smoothest style ever.
I get to a new song and it starts out low and slow. I can hear something in the background that sounds like crying of some animal. I take off my headphones and listen hard and I do hear crying. I try to go find it. I fallow the sounds into an ally and I see a blood red cat lying half dead. It looks so thin I can almost see its ribs. Wait, I think those are stripes. But the thing is still too small, probably hasn't eaten in weeks. Its eyes are black rimmed and closed. It's still making that noise and I try to think of what to do. I remember that it's a shop down the street that sells pet stuff and I run down the street to get to it before it closes. I get there and buy all the cat food I can on my parents emergency credit card.(this counts!) I go back to the ally where I found the thing and poured out all the cat food in front of the dying little thing.
"Here you go; eat up." I tell the cat. It sniffs the air a bit the tries to get up and move over to the food. It ate like Choji after he tried to go on a diet. I bought 20 cans of cat food and it was all gone. God, the thing was hungry. Once it was done licking the ground it looked up at me and purred. When I saw it eyes I was floored. It had the most beautiful teal, sea foam green eyes I have ever seen.
"Wow, you have some amazing eyes kit. They make mine look like the blue toilet water in the school bathrooms." I tell it. It purrs louder and rubs up against my leg and I pet it. The cat was as loud as a Harley once I scratched behind his ears. I normally hate cats worse than I hate Sasuke sometimes but this one is cool with me. It's different. I wonder how it got here. It doesn't have a collar or anything. Those eyes are really tripping me out. I feel like they have watched me before, like the cat was around my whole life. I really wish I knew what this feeling is. Déjà vu? Wait, how long have I been here? I look down at my watch.
"I wasted an hour already!?" I shot up and ran for the tram. I am so late! I wish I would've noticed how long I was petting a stupid cat then I wouldn't have to run. I just make it on the platform when the doors open. I basically had to jump into the car to make it.

I try to sneak into class but of course Ino just had to yell out I'm late. You would think being college sophomores would make some people grow up but not at all.
"Well Naruto, how nice of you to join us. And 5 minutes to spare. See me after class" Iruka says. I can just tell he's going to chew my ass out once I have to talk to him. I really hope that Iruka sensei is a cat person or I'll be screwed because no one will believe I petted a half dead cat I spent over 200 buck on with food for over an hour. I still barely believe it.
"Okay sir…" I tell him as I sit down. Just as I flop my head on the desk the bell rings.
"Okay everyone, class and the day is over. Go over the notes because the test is on Monday. Now Naruto, come here, lets have a chat." Iruka sensei tells the class but mostly for me.
"God…what did I do to deserve this?" I cry. I think that cat is the devil or something because I really think it cause all this. It's not fair.
And that's chapter 2. It's shorter than I thought it would be but I got sleepy. I know Neko Garra only made a short appearance but it does get better. Next chapter we meet out rapist again and he's not as nice as he was before. Let's hope for an ass kicking this time around for him though. Comment and review if you want to have beat him black and blue. Ja ne =^-^=.
