Charter 6
The Other Characters???
(...I bet you thought I forgot about the other characters that were present...and your right...I forgot all about them...This chapter is the course of the day from the start to end of chapter 5...)
The alarm went off. The clock read 5:00. It was time for work. Chouji stood up and got his work uniform laid out. He worked at the Long Horns Steak House down the road. He worked the kitchen.
"Dad, I'm leaving now" he said as he walked out the door. His father was sitting at the table reading the paper. He would have said something...If his son hadn't rushed out.
'What a piece of shit' he said as he stood smiling a sarcastic smile at his car. He had one of the crappiest, beat up, dirty cars anyone had ever seen. It was in such bad condition no one knew what brand or model it was. The dealers didn't even know, they had sold it as 'mysterious running car. $850' and Chouji needed a car.
He pulled open the door and crashed down inside. He had used every cleaning chemical he could afford but still no luck so he put his money towards something else. He had a fully done interior all leather with a custom stereo system. Before that, however, he had bought up all the performance mods he could.
Chouji made a killing off his car. He used his job to buy the performance mods then he started to street race. He used that money to do his interior. He had made enough money by now to buy two or three new cars, but he kept his 'baby' because it was his money ticket. People would take one look at his car and think that he was joking, but he was always the one laughing at the end when he drove off with their money.
He started it up and listened to the engine go for a few moments before he drove out of the driveway and down the street. (...Ten minutes later...) He pulled up to the steak house and ran inside. He had left on time but he was late. The steak house was five minutes walking distance from his house, but he always drove the long way so he could drive down the longest abandon straight away street in the city.
The street name had been forgotten to most, but was known as Cemetery Drive to those who still used it. It was a known as Cemetery Drive because it was the street that the Uchiha family had lived on. But Chouji was really the only one who still used it, because it haunted him. He had been driving on it that night, but saw nothing.
"Boss, I'm sorry...its just that..." his boss said mocking Chouji as he ran in. Chouji was late often and he always said that when he came in. Chouji laughed slightly "I'm sorry sir. I took the long way...There was a...an accident last night...With the Uchiha kid." It hurt him to say it and his boss could see it was serious by the expression on Chouji's face."Ok...get to work" his boss said in a low tone.
Chouji walked into the back and then opened the freezer door. Inside there was meat hanging on hooks and the shelves where packed tightly. The sight had never bothered him but at the sight of it all that he could think of was Sasuke's bloodied flesh at the hospital. The thoughts made him sick. He fell to the ground and began to puke.
Eight hours later at Kankuro's apartment
Shikamaru woke up. To his left Temari was still asleep, and resting on the pull out couch bed was Kankuro. Last night Chouji had driven them to Kankuro's apartment and then left Shikamaru there with Temari to watch Kankuro before he left. Shikamaru didn't want to stay just to watch over Kankuro. Shikamaru had been in love with Temari in the past but then she graduated.
When they were alone after Kankuro passed out they they had a chance to talk. Shikamaru and Temari already had a date planed for that day. He shook her slightly and she returned the gesture with a fist to the face and a "Let me sleep for ten more minutes." Shikamaru fell back and smashed his head off the coffee table making a loud smash which woke them both up immediately.
Temari grabbed him and hugged him tightly while laughing and trying to apologize. She couldn't get the words out and she gave up. "I'll get ready to go" she said letting him go. She got up and went into the bathroom. Shikamaru rested his face on the pillow as he rubbed the back of his head.
Kankuro laughed. "Thats why I wished Gaara had come instead of her. She doesn't know how to be gentle but Gaara..." Kankuro hid his eyes under his arm.
(...The chapter is over but I'm gunna add onto the other characters in the next chapter...)
