The Office

Episode 2: Food, sex and something

April 21st, 11:43 am

This day started just like any other day in an office; normal for once. At least that's what the workers at the payroll office thought. Maybe they thought too soon.

Anko was busily working on some papers while Sakura alphabetized the timecards that were currently being turned in and Ino continued on the small project that was assigned to her by Naruto.

"Anko, so how about the dress that I ordered for my dad's dinner gala came in yesterday." Ino started up in her usual annoying tone.

"Oh really?" Anko replied, not really paying attention.

"Yeah! It wasn't supposed to come in until next month, but oh well. At least it came in." Ino paused for a minute to shove some more French fries into her mouth. "The dress fits everywhere…but my chest, again. The seamstress said that they would have to order another two sizes up and just take it in on the sides! Can you believe it? Normally I wear a eight but I had to order a ten to get it to fit in all 'those' places. So now I have to get ANOTHER size up from that!"

"Wow. At least you got it in now. The dance isn't for a couple more months, right?" Anko stopped what she was doing and turned around towards Ino.

"Yeah. I'm not complaining that I got it in. I'm actually happy about it. Now I know everything will be set with enough time to spare. You know what though. I can't seem to be loosing any weight though I've been exercising and 'trying' to watch what I eat. But with going to class all the time and running around, I just don't have the time to eat healthy. You know?" Ino began to complain while eating her hamburger.

You wouldn't have that problem if you stop eating all that crap you keep bringing in. Sakura thought to herself. I wonder if she ever gets jealous about the fact that I'm skinnier than she is.

Since it was around lunch time everyone was getting hungry and starting to eat. Ino had already left around noon for lunch (even though she was eating a whole meal before) and Anko left for the rest of the day with her.

"Hey Shikamaru. I brought this in today and thought you might like it since you'll eat anything." Tsunade asked as she handed her boss a Styrofoam "doggy bag".

Shikamaru laughed. "Aren't you going to eat anything for lunch?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'm just gonna run and get something. Don't worry about it! Here, take it." Tsunade set the box on Shikamaru's desk and walked out.

"Uh…thanks." Shikamaru said and got up to heat up the cold meal.

A few minutes later, after the food was heated up and started to be consumed by Shikamaru, Temari, the manager of accounts payable, was taking her usual shortcut through the payroll office.

"What smells so good in here?" Temari instigated and poked her into Shikamaru's office. "Is it your cologne?"

"No. Tsunade brought in something and gave it to me to eat." Shikamaru paused for a moment. "Then again…it could be my deodorant." He joked. Temari cackled at Shikamaru's not-so-funny joke.

Jeeze…there goes Temari again hitting on Shikamaru-sama again. Sakura thought to herself and went back to one of her daily tasks.

Once the scene was clear of Temari, Tsunade came out of her office with a magazine. She walked on up to Sakura and set down the magazine next to her.

"Can you believe these two got married?" Tsunade asked in dire shock.

"Who?" Kiba asked, silently thanking Tsunade for coming out into the main office to initiate a "break".

"Izuka Kenjo and Yamana Mimi." Tsunade answered him.

Sakura stopped what she was doing and looked over at the magazine her boss brought out. She saw a picture of a Hollywood couple holding hands. The woman was of course young and beautiful and the man was quite a bit older, but still handsome in a sense. "Wow…yeah." Sakura replied.

"It's disgusting. He's way too old for her." Tsunade said disgustedly. Sakura giggled at her.

"People these days…seesh." Kiba said annoyed.

Without even realizing it, Kiba's, Sakura's and Tsunade's conversation sparked another, unexpected, topic to start in the office.

"Now that you mention it…that reminds me a story about another girl." Jiraiya randomly popped out of his office again.

Oh gawd…not again…. Sakura said fearfully to herself.

"Oh please Jiraiya…not again." Kiba started to get annoyed already.

Tsunade didn't say anything and attempted to ignore her perverted co-worker.

"Don't tell me it's about 'Melinda' again…." Sakura said irritated.

"No. This one is Magie. Oh man…was she a hottie!" Jiraiya smiled widely. "She would always moan whenever we would-"

"HEY! We have innocent ears here!" Kiba shouted. "And that would be me." He laughed.

"Whatever! You're far from innocent." Jiraiya criticized.

"Hey, I'm innocent too." Sakura mentioned, not knowing what trouble it would cause.

Jiraiya walked out of his office and towards the fax machine. "Oh ho ho! You are definitely not innocent, girl!" He reprimanded Sakura. "That's not I've been told."

Sakura's cheeks started to turn red. "What do you mean? Compared to you I am innocent!"

"So you're saying that I'm bad?"

"Yeah."

"I am not bad. You just make me out to be that way. You're the one who's bad." Jiraiya hassled Sakura. He walked up closer to her and leaned in. "I'm sure you would be good…." Jiraiya winked.

"EEK!" Sakura screamed. "You're perverted!"

"Hardly!"

"My ass you're not perverted." Kiba finally came in. "What I want to know is how we got from talking about celebs to this?"

Tsunade laughed. "I have no clue."

Sakura put her head on her hand. "And I don't want to know."

"Yeah really." Tsunade agreed.

"I really don't know who was better though, Magie or Melinda." Jiraiya started up again while he was slowly opening up the door to the hallway. "They were just so…mmm…good!"

"JUST LEAVE DAMMIT!" Sakura yelled again.

Kiba and Tsunade stared at Sakura, who was now breathing quite heavily.

"Is it just me or is Jiraiya horny today?" She asked after calming down a bit.

"He's horny." Kiba and Tsunade said in unison.
