Disclaimer - I do not own anything about Naruto and nore do I receive any money or kickbacks from writing this.
Thanks to the people that reviewed the last chapter, I know the last one was a bit slow, but now it should pick up from now on! ^_~
This one's a little short but we're moving now, and don't worry to all the people asking me to complete this, I will! I have most of the story line and chapter flow planed out.
Anyway, not much to say so... On wards!
Naruto woke up long before his alarm was due to go off, he was just far too excited to sleep any longer!
He took his time in the bathroom making sure to thoroughly groom himself. He needed to make a good first impression after all. After eating a light breakfast, expressing for Menma and double checking he had everything he needed, he kissed his son and handed him over to his mother before waving goodbye and making his way to his car.
The drive was full of anticipation and all too soon he was pulling into his very own carpark in the underground parking garage, complete with name plaque and all. Locking his car he made his way to the closest elevator and up to reception where he was told he would be directed further.
After an orientation in the lobby where they were thanked for joining the company they were divided up into their departments to have a quick get to know each other session. From there the Omega's that had chosen to go to the Omega only floors were escorted up while the rest - including Naruto - were directed to the other floors.
When Naruto and his new team - a good mix of all second genders - arrived they were told to walk around the floor and get familiar with everything while also looking for their own workstation cubicle that had their name plaque on it at the same time.
After doing two laps of the whole floor the blond felt dejected. All the cubicles seemed to now have occupants and none of them had had his name on them.
"Is something wrong Mr. Uzumaki?" asked the same blue haired woman that had directed them to the floor.
Using his free hand Naruto rubbed the back of his head anxiously, "I don't seem to have a cubicle." he said disheartenedly while still trying to smile.
"That's because you don't have one." she said simply.
"Oh." Naruto replied, feeling like his happy world had just been ripped from him.
"If you'll follow me this way I'll show you to your office." she smiled as she began to walk towards the back of the floor.
"Oh, sure." he replied robotically as he began to follow her. "Wait! Office?" he almost yelled, gaining a few stares.
"Yes, didn't you get the email sent out this morning outlining your duties?"
Pulling out his phone he quickly went through his inbox till he found an email from the company. After reading it he was almost in tears.
"I… I…." he swallowed behind his hand, "I'm head of department?" he asked, his hand holding back his sobs.
"Yes, and here is your office." she answered politely, opening a door and letting him walk in.
The office was beautifully furnished in modern soft white furniture. To one side was several filing cabinets and a bookshelf ready to be arranged with personal effects, on the other side was a couch, some pot plants and another door. In the middle of the room was his desk, a beautiful black glass and white steel structure, and behind that an open glass wall with an amazing view of the park below.
"The door over there leads to a private heat suit complete with bed, a stocked bar fridge and bathroom for your comfort." she said making her way over to the door and opening it to show him. "There is a button on the inside that will deadbolt lock the room in the event that you're caught by a sudden heat, this will prevent any unwanted attention."
Naruto peaked his head into the room and was reminded that this company really did care about it's Omega employees. "This is amazing." he whispered. The room was similar to the ones he had seen during the interview yesterday, the only difference was his heat room seemed more catered to him being able to stay there instead of leave.
Directing him out she closed the door and went over to his desk. "You have been provided a work computer as well as a laptop for home use, a work phone and a PDA that is linked directly to me." she said, showing him each item.
"I don't mean to be rude," Naruto said quietly, barely able to maintain eye contact, "But why would it be connected to you?"
"Forgive me," she smiled and bowed. "My name is Konan, as of today I am your Personal Assistant."
"P… P… Personal A… Assistant?" he stuttered, taking a step back. "But you're an Alpha? Shouldn't you have like, a higher positioned job somewhere else?" standing up straight he apologised. "I'm sorry if that came across rude."
"Not at all." she stood up and continued to smile at him, "My job is to help the head of this department, regardless of their sub-gender. I have also personally read your resume and looked over some of the projects you provided as examples and it would be modest of me saying that your work is the best I've ever seen. So with that in mind I look forward to working for you and I hope you find my work satisfactory as your assistant." Konan bowed again.
"Th...Thank you. I look forward to working with you too." Naruto bowed back.
"As a side note Mr. Uzumaki, your sub-gender means nothing to your status both here and to me." she winked and smiled warmly at him.
Naruto felt tears prickling at his eyes again, this time though he let them fall
"Oh my Kami! Please don't cry, I'm sorry if I've offended you!" Konan rushed over with a tissue in hand.
"No… no, you haven't done anything wrong." he choked covering his mouth, "No one other than my parents has ever said my sub-gender doesn't matter."

The blond sat in his office reading over some project proposals when there was a soft knock at his door. "Enter." he said without looking up.
The door opened and closed softly, followed by the sound of light steps that made their way across the floor till they stopped in front of his desk. Once he finished reading Deidara put the file down and looked up at the Alpha in front of him. "How was his first day?" he asked.
"I have compiled a report for you and Mr. Uchiha," she answered, placing the milina folder on his desk. "Key points to highlight are as follows,
He became acquainted with his team - there is no issues with his position verses his sub-gender -,
He settled into his office and suggested a get to know the team lunch - which was well received by his team, bonding followed and the team is working well together -,
After lunch he began working on some of the projects and allocating certain team members certain jobs - he seems attentive to people's strengths and weaknesses and proceeded accordingly -,
And finally, he left on time."
"Good." Deidara answered, eyeing the folder.
"On a personal note sir, I gave Mr. Uzumaki some of the projects that failed or barely passed at the main company."
"And?" the blond asked with interest.
"In a matter of minutes he re-drafted them into something that would have sold." she stood there with a look of amazement, while passing another folder to the blond. "He was able to point out where and why each project failed. I can see why Mr. Uchiha desperately wanted him back, amongst other things."
Deidara looked over the old proposals that Naruto had redrafted and was amazed that the work was only done in mere minutes. Naruto truly was a genius. "Thank you for your hard work Konan." he said, placing the folder down. When she made no move to leave he raised an eyebrow at her, "Was there something else?"
Nodding she pulled out her phone and another piece of paper. "I know why Mr. Uzumaki left."
"Sasuke got too handsy, we know this." Deidara shrugged.
Konan shook her head and passed him a piece of paper. "This is why."
The blond took the paper and read over it. It was an enrollment form for the childcare centre on the top floor. "What's the meaning of this?" Deidara asked, slightly confused.
"Mr. Uzumaki has a child." she answered, showing him a picture of a small frame on Naruto's desk, one that had the blond holding a small black haired baby. "I've done the maths, he's Sasuke's child."
Deidara swallowed hard, running a hand through his hair. "Well fuck." he breathed out.
"His name is Menma." she smiled softly.
"I want to meet him, Kami, Itachi's going to want to meet him!" the blond sighed.
"Give Mr. Uzumaki time to meet and trust you, he's been through a lot and doesn't seem very trusting of new people asking about his personal life."
Biting his lip Deidara hesitated, "When can I meet him then?"
"Why don't you try getting to know Mr. Uzumaki first?" Konan suggested. After receiving a nod she continued, "Take the time tomorrow to go around to each department, under the pretense of meeting everyone, leave Mr. Uzumaki till last, that way you can ask him out to dinner."
"Brilliant!" Deidara stood with a look of triumph.
Comments, Favorites and Follows are more than welcome!
I hope this one was a bit less boring than the last one. Leave your thoughts.
On another note what's the point of having a Beta advertising page if NO ONE replies when you request them? Like seriously... I've contacted several dozen and had NO replies!
So if any of my loyal fans (Can I even say that yet since I'm a small fry?) want to Beta read for me drop me a message. (Please note I would prefer someone that is good with English and can help me with some long term stories, that they can not only commit to helping me with them but can help with plot holes, since I know the stories inside and out, but may forget to explain some thing.)
Until next time!
