SASORI
What happened was an accident really. All I wanted to do was go buy a monster get the taste of that horrible tasting whatever it was Hidan insisted I try. I suppose he is still mad I don't believe thee was a fairy gallivanting on his roof, the Stupid Albino. I should have declined his invention to go out to eat with him and Deidara.
Since I was low on funds, as I haven't made any deliveries to get paid for, I ventured to the dinky little corner store across from the park. The prices there are always cheap.
The outside is a dull grey-brown color, with one dirty window on the first floor, and two small ones on the second. It used to be so clean you could see your reflection, but the kid that washed them went away.
My entrance is signaled by a bell above the small door. The counter runs along one side of the store, and the freezers holding various drinks and frozen foods. Filling up the middle is two racks. Closest to the door is chips, jerky and instant foods. Behind that, candy fills each side,and finally facing the wall is random house hold item as such as toilet trash bags , soap, and duck tape.
At least it has air-conditioning, Konoha gets hot as hell in the summer.
I make my way to the glass door with the energy Drinks behind it. There are a vast choice of flavors, but I don't have any preferences. My choices are limited though, as a few are out of stock. Now that I think about it they're out of a lot of things. Feeling slightly hungry, as the mystery food made me empty my stomach, I head over to get some BBQ potato chips. Theyre so messy, but taste do good.
As I make my way to the register, an old lady comes down the stairs. She lives alone on the second floor. We used to torment her by stealing something out of the store and throwing it up at her windows. She always says she's going to call the cops, but she never does.
Hello young man! Did you find everything you need
Mostly, what happened to everything
I'm closing the store, I just can't run the store by myself.
Hasn't anyone applied for a job here?
No, but I've had one of those help wanted sign out front for the past 4 months
Ah
You wouldn't happen to be interested in working here would you?
Maybe
Ah, you young one are so difficult. Half the time my previous worker wouldn't even show up.
She finished ringing me up, then put my items in a bag, adding a slip of paper, probably the Application forum and a box of mints.
What did you put in there Hag?
The sheet you're gonna have to fill out if your to be my store hand. And some candy, on the house.
Whatever, who said I wanted the position
I started to leave, only stopping to say goodbye
See you later Old Lady
She started laughing albeit bitter ,and said something that reminded me something long here I have a strong sense of deja-vu, but I try to ignore it and make my way to the Akatsuki's base for tonight's meeting.
Oi Fucking Puppet, Finally here?
Shut up Hidan
I walk past him and set the plastic bag on the table. I pull out my drink, but the paper and a box comes out as well. They fall to the floor and Deidara snatches them up before I can.
What's with the Pink Tic-tac's?
They came free with the paper
He looks down and reads, about 12 second later the slow reader raises his head with a look of bewilderment
Dana, you're getting a job at that hags store?
As much as I wanted to say no, what she said started ringing in my head, flooding me with the obligation to reply with
Yes I am, you got a problem with that brat?
Ahah, that's what Sakura used to say. Always brightened up the store with that pink hair of hers.
Stupid Hag, I didn't want to remember that girl.
