Chapter 4:

Accident 4: Crossing Paths

New Person's POV

My, my, how time flew. Lunch break was almost over already. I prepared to return to my desk, grabbing my jacket and throwing away garbage. I had to do well; it was just my first day and I wouldn't want to make any bad first impressions, now would I? I had to look my best.

It was a good thing I got my uncle to give me this job. Who knew what I'd be up to if he didn't. I should call and thank him, maybe treat him to dinner some time. Though, he must have been too busy for that, being the Chairman and all. Besides, I knew my Mom was the one who told him to give me a job in his company. And of course he wouldn't say no to Mom; he couldn't. Calling my Mom would be a better idea. I hadn't called her for a few weeks. I could brighten up her day with my call. Arriving at my desk, I figured I'd just call later. There was still tons of paperwork to do.

"Kurohara-san," a blonde lady called up to me.

"Yes?" I replied politely.

"Um, there's a call for you. She said she's your mother."

"Oh. Thank you, I'll take that. Sorry for bothering you, um-"

"Ino. It's Yamanaka Ino."

"Right, Yamanaka-san."

"No problem. No problem at all," she assured me with a smile. But I knew that smile. One I recognized all too well. Never mind her. I wasn't the least bit interested in her. I wondered what Mom called me for.

…*…

"Hey, Mum. Why are you calling me at work?"

"Sai, is that how you should greet your mother?" Her shrill voice grated on my ears. Really, this was how I always greeted her. For the life of me, I couldn't understand why she couldn't get used to it after all these years. Sheesh.

"Oh, I'm sorry mother, but I was a bit busy. Could you make this quick?"

"Jesus. Sai, I don't remember ever bringing you up to be this impolite. But, oh well, at least you're good looking. I just called to see how you were doing on your first day. That and you haven't called for weeks." Well, she must have forgotten that she didn't even bring me up. But I did have to thank her for being beautiful and for being impregnated by my handsome father. Of course I'd be this good looking. Also, I was pretty sure she had my cell phone number.

"I'm fine Mom, but you could have just called my phone."

"Well I did, but you weren't answering so I called your uncle and asked for your department's number." Huh?

"Well I certainly didn't receive any call. But wait, let me check my-" hey where did my phone go?

"Sai? Something wrong?"

"Shoot, fuck."

"Hey, watch that mouth of yours."

"I'll call you later Mom."

"Huh? Wait, why?"

"I seem to have left my phone somewhere, so I'll just call back later. I was gonna call you anyway. Later, Mom."

…*…

Fuck, I couldn't remember where I left my phone. Looking for it was obviously my only choice, but where to start? Oh right, the cafeteria. I remembered I was holding it there. I hoped no one got it, or if someone did, I hoped they would surrender it to the lost and found. Damn, I had to hurry. Losing that phone now would be really troublesome, there were contacts tha-

Oof-

Fuck! Who was this idiot, didn't he have eyes? I swear I'm gonna- N-Na-Naruto!? Thank the fucking gods who are really up there; this was Heavens' Grace! Destiny! And I certainly wouldn't let this slip.

Oh, how I missed those lips…

Kiba's POV

Why, that son-of-a-bitch, how dare he?! Well, I had to show this motherfucker never to mess with other people's property. Pow-! Heh. That kinda stung but it was worth it.

"Fuck, what the hell was that for!?"

"'What' you ask? Are you sure you're in any position to be asking that?" Look at him, acting like he was the damn victim.

"Who the fuck are you anyway? Don't tell me you're Naruto's lover."

"No, I'm not, but are you? You aren't either, perv. Hey, aren't you the new guy?"

"Hey, hey. Wait a sec. Just how the hell does that perv know me? I haven't seen that face here before. Wai- new guy?" Naruto blinked confusedly.

"That's right, Naruto. I just started work here this morning. Now don't you think we're destined to be together?" the bastard cooed at Naruto, all eyes on him.

"Hold your horses, perv. What is this 'destined to be together' shit you are going on about? Naruto, you better go to your desk now. Go on, I'll take care of him." This guy, new or not, was seriously crossing some lines here. Someone had to put him into his place before things got out of hand.

"But, Kiba, I want to ask him how he knows me, so le-"

"Naruto, just leave this to me. I'll ask him for you. Go to your desk."

"Okay, but…tch, I'll go ahead then."

Thank Gods Naruto listened to me, but, what then? What could I do with this pervert? Scare him; how? I could always try threatening him but that would only get me so far… Fuck, I still didn't have the confidence to confess to Naruto and claim him as mine. Before I knew it I had myself yet another rival and this one was gonna be tough.

"Hey, who are you really? What are you to Naruto?"

"I'm his best friend, for now. But I'll be his lover soon so I'm telling you to back off as early as now. Naruto's gonna choose me and not you, you hear? So fuck off." I couldn't help the bristling anger rising in me, or the jealousy. I was usually pretty calm in other aspects but when it came to Naruto… I had no tolerance for anything or anyone who might be in my way.

"Heh, don't make me laugh. Choose you? Grow up! I've been in love with Naruto for five years. So who do you think you are to say that he'll choose you?" The bastard was so cool, calm and confident, standing there with his hands in his pockets like he was discussing the weather.

"YOU listen. If it's time you're competing against, then I'm surely the victor. I have been in love with him for almost six years now. I've been guarding his ass for almost three years, and I haven't seen you around."

"You know what? Consider yourself lucky that I have to look for something urgent. But I'll definitely see you again. So until later, loser." The new guy brushed past me without a second glance.

"Hey wait, I still have to ask you how-" Damn, the pervert sure walked fast. I had to return to work too, come to think of it. Shit.

…*…

Sigh… Naruto, why do you have to be too cute for your own good? I really wanna lock you up this time. Lock you away. Keep you away from everyone. Somewhere where there's just you and me. Mine; you are mine alone… I wish.

This is the last chapter of Rin-Kun's original work. I've only edited to smooth it out a bit. From here on it will be my own work, following along with the original idea. Please Read and Review and tell me what you guys think. Or if you have any ideas or scenes you'd like to see!

Until next time,

All my love,
