-Next day-

Eien woke up with a groan. Someone was shaking him and voices were talking at him but he didn't want to listen. Sleep was the most important thing on his mind even if it was the only thing. He felt someone nudge him again before pulling his tangled blanket off of him, causing him to fall to the ground with a loud thud.

He gave another groan, not moving. "Leave me alone~" He yawned before curling up into a loose ball.

The person just scoffed. "Honestly, my prince. Have you become so lazy after just being here for four days?"

Eien opened his eyes to see Yoru standing above him and he gave a growl. Sitting up slowly, he rubbed his head. "I'm awake, now go away."

The demon smirked. "Of course," He said before leaving the redhead's room, closing the door behind him. Eien gave a huff upwards so his hair didn't cover his eyes completely. Standing up he went to his dresser and found new clothes inside. He gave a small hum and began to undress out of the sleeping clothes his Father had bought him. He didn't know why his Father just kept on using fake money but he had said someone would soon figure out why all of their money was turning to rocks and connect the dots back to him. Besides, getting a job was essential for living.

A job. Eien groaned once he realized he had to be up for work right now. Getting dressed quickly, Eien left his room and went to the kitchen to find his Father packing a lunch. Yoru was there as well but he was just saying something to his Father. Eien didn't care to listen so he went to another counter and found an apple to eat.

"I expect you to get up on your own now, Eien," Sasori said as he finished tying up their shared lunch. The younger redhead nodded and bit into his apple. "Yoru, you will have to find another job because we can't have the master builder find out who we are."

The demon shrugged. "That's fine, I may be able to find a job whoring myself out, who knows." He gave another shrug and Eien looked at the demon disgusted. Sasori just rolled his eyes. It was like he was living with two children: one that was almost always angry and a brat and another who was immature and inappropriate. Just something that he had to deal with. He could just let Yoru go but he was also a personal servant that he had for years, even before he had met Deidara. Letting him go almost wasn't an option.

Though when he thought about Eien's behavior he could blame that on himself. He wasn't there for him and Deidara and he had become angry and bitter. Not only that, he had to face reality at a very young age. He didn't have a tolerance for things and Sasori wondered if his son had inherited his impatience.

"Are we going yet?" Eien asked once he found his hat in the living room. He put it on and he saw his father walk out of the kitchen to the living room.

"Yes, let's go." Sasori turned to the demon. "Go find a job and don't get into any trouble. You are not allowed to kill anyone, understood?" The raven-haired male smiled and bowed.

"Of course, my King."

Sasori sighed and looked towards Eien. "Let's go."

Both redheads left the house, finding there were only a few people on the streets, probably going to work as well. The sun did not rise yet but everything had a blue tinge to it, causing some light. Eien offered his Father part of his apple but the older male just said he should eat all of it.

When they arrived at the site there were already men working there and Aki was standing, almost admiring the effort to put up yet another house. He turned around when he heard the approaching males and smirked. "Didn't think you would actually get up and come for work."

Sasori shrugged and walked right up to the brunette. "We need the money."

Aki ignored that and eyed the man before giving a glare. "You don't have to wear a hat now, Hisashi, the sun's not even up."

The redhead gave a small smirk. "I like my hat on, thank you."

The master builder just scoffed. "Fine, just get to work like yesterday." He looked at Eien and sneered. "You never told me your companion's name."

Sasori smiled a little. "Masa," He said softly.

Eien peered at his Father curiously. He had never heard of someone named that before and he wondered how his Father came up with it.

Aki gave a nod. "Okay, Hisashi, Masa get to work." He turned around and left, not even bothering to tell the two males what to do.

-Later-

Once he and his Father were relatively alone Eien decided it was safe to speak with him. "Masa?"

The redhead looked at his son and sighed. "You should be working," He said as he picked up his toolbox before walking to another section of the house-in-progress.

Eien followed him, intent on wondering what the name meant and why he had chosen it. Most names he knew, like Hisashi which meant long-lived. His Father probably chose it because he was long-lived so there must have been a reason why he chose Masa for him. "Why did you choose that name?"

Sasori put down his toolbox and found a hammer before handing it to his son. "It's just a name," He replied, shrugging.

The redhead frowned. "What does it mean?" He asked, not bothering to looked at the hammer.

The Devil gave a stern look. "It can mean many things. Prosperous, true, genuine, elegant. Or something like political and military, things more strict." He went back to his toolbox and got out a small knife.

Eien raised an eyebrow. "How did you find that name?"

Sasori didn't bother looking back to his son as he spoke. "It's what I was going to name you if your Mum didn't name you. It's a name meant for both genders, just in case."

Eien gave a slow nod. "O-okay." He tightened his grip on the hammer in his hand and frowned. He really didn't want to work.

-Afternoon-

"Are we ever going to get a cleaning lady?" Eien asked as he and his Father were moving a large stone for the redhead to carve. It was one of the spares and Aki wanted to see if the Devil was any good and Sasori thought he could prove himself worthy.

"I think so because we haven't really made an attempt to cleaning." Both males set the rock down onto a makeshift pedestal for the redhead.

"You need a cleaning lady?" Eien cringed noticeably, realizing that Aki was now behind them. He quickly went back to his own work station, Aki raising an eyebrow at him. "Shy boy."

Sasori nodded with a smile. "Yes, he is. Doesn't like to socialize much." The Devil gave the brunette a wary look. "And yes, I am looking for a cleaning lady. No of one?"

The master builder nodded with a smirk. "My wife is a cleaner. Money is tight around here so she offered she get a job for a little extra money." He shrugged, the smug look still on his face.

Sasori nodded but realized that it would be a bad idea if Natsuko went to their house. He was surprised she had survived the plague because he had heard of almost all of her family died off. But the woman knew what their house looked like and she would question him for moving into it after it had been abandoned. "Well thank you for the intel but I have a feeling we can clean up by ourselves."

Aki gave the redhead a dour look. "Your lose." He looked at the stone. "Get to work on the rock. Try to make a gargoyle or something." He then smirked. "You can do that since you do claim to be a sculptor."

The redhead smirked back. "Of course."

-Evening-

As the day began to end Sasori was just about done with his gargoyle. It wasn't necessarily a winged beast with horns, more of a hellhound. It's face was wrinkled in a threatening way with it's eyes narrowed dangerously. It's lips were pulled back, showing off two rows of extremely pointed teeth with the canines slightly sharper than the rest of them. It was in a crouched position, as if it were ready to pounce at anything that moved. Everything about it said vicious.

Eien narrowed his eyes and gave the gargoyle a scrutinizing look. "Disgusting," He muttered. His only encounter with a hellhound wasn't a good one and he still found the beast to be a little on the ugly side.

Sasori turned around and smirked back at his son. "Yes, it's very disgusting, Eien. I'm sure that you can do better?"

The younger redhead scowled. "I thought you weren't supposed to call me that. Someone might here."

The Devil smirked and bowed playfully. "Of course, prince Masa," He said imitating Yoru although with a name added.

Eien grimaced. It was strange seeing his Father bow down. It was almost... unnatural. "It's good to see humor around here but it wastes time."

Sasori straightened up, his smirk still in place. He saw Aki walking up to them and the redhead gestured to his latest creation. "I apologize, Sir, but I have just finished the gargoyle that you wanted." Eien looked at the brunette before walking away.

Aki stopped in front of the stone and gave an almost horrified look. "This isn't a gargoyle, it's a monster." He turned to the redhead, enraged. "What possessed you to make this devilish thing?" He watched the man's face, wondering if he would see insanity.

Sasori's smirk was now gone, replaced with a stolid expression. "It's a gargoyle, Sir. They aren't meant to be pretty, they are meant to scare off evil, or that's what I was told to believe."

The brunette looked at him, still slightly shocked. "Well besides it being the most... interesting thing I have ever seen, it's still not the best." He eyed the man more cautiously. "Where did you come from again?"

Sasori placed his hands behind his back from boredom. "I was originally from Konoha, but I moved here a few years back. I then went and traveled Europe where art is very relevant."

Aki nodded. "I would like to see what else you can do besides making beasts."

Sasori inclined his head proudly before looking up. "Yes, and if you do not mind me asking, when will we be getting our pay?"

The brunette glared at the man. "Pay? Who said I would be paying you?"

Sasori's face turned completely stoic. "I have already told you before that we will not be free laborers and you agreed that we had a job and to come back today. We are working for our pay, Sir."

The master builder chuckled and shook his head. "Just because I gave you work does not mean I would pay you."

The Devil gave a humorless chuckle as well. "Yes and when someone works, you are supposed to pay them." Sasori could feel the power creeping over him. He liked to be in control, he was always in control, so stooping down to working for someone else only to be tricked was not something that he liked.

Aki shrugged. "Sorry." He leaned against the gargoyle, a small smirk tugging at his lips. "You've already made this gargoyle so I may pay you for that."

Sasori have a hum and ran a hand over his newest creation. He let his hand rest on the hellhound's face and he gave a smirk. "No, thank you, I would not like to be payed by scum like you."

Aki's face contorted with anger and he straightened up quickly. "Now listen, you," He growled. Sasori removed his hand and he stared down at the younger male with a stoic look. "I am the closest thing to pure around here. There are real disgusting people out there, but I am not one of them. Be lucky I gave you a job-"

A grin broke out onto Sasori's face. "A job, yes! One where I work from when the sun rises till it sets, only to find out I get nothing in return."

Aki scowled. "Get off this site and don't come back."

Sasori continued to grin, but dangerously. "Of course," He said bowing. "I did not mean to show my face to the almighty Aki Sato."

The brunette glared. "I can't even see your face."

The redhead chuckled. "Your lose then." He walked away from the site, wondering where Eien went. As he left he heard a huge boom and he gave a sadistic grin. Hellhounds were very, very vicious.

When he did find Eien he saw he was just around the corner of a nearby building. "Don't just walk away like that."

The sixteen-year-old who was leaning against the wall just sighed before standing up properly. "I'm sorry but I just don't want to be around Aki."

Sasori nodded. "We won't be working for him anymore, he wasn't even planning on paying us." He realized in only two days why his son disliked the mortal so much.

Eien gave a disgusted scoff. He had expected that. "So what are you going to do now?" He asked once he and his Father began moving towards their home.

The Devil just smirked. "I think it's time I made my grand reappearance."

Yes, Sasori's going to open up a strip-club. I know all of you were thinking that.

Review?
