Title: My Personal Trainer
Chapter Two: My Own Flesh & Blood
"Naruto? You home?" I heard my Dad call from downstairs just a little after eight o'clock. I rolled my eyes and pushed my self out of my desk chair with a sigh. I left my room and headed down the stairs, my Dad was in the kitchen, removing his tie while looking in the fridge. "What do you want for dinner?" He asked, not bothering to turn and look at me. I took a seat on one of the bar stool like chairs that sat in the middle of the kitchen, next to the marble top island. I drummed my fingers against the cool surface.
"I'm not really hungry." I muttered, I waited, I knew he was going to say something, it was bad enough getting bullied by my peers but when it's your own flesh and blood it tends to sting a little more. My dad looked at me, his eyes wide in surprise. I really did look a lot llike my dad,we both had blond spiky hair, his was a little longer than mine, we were both tanned with blue eyes. The only difference between us was our size, he was as fit as a fiddle, even at his age while I could barely make it up stairs without running out of breath.
"Really? It's not like you to have nothing to eat." He chuckled, I held back a response, if I wasn't giving the bullies at school the satisfaction of a response then I certainly wasn't going to give my own Dad one. "You know, we've been through this, if you want to get into the police you'll have to get fit and lose weight. I've told you this a million times before." He sighed, taking a can of beer from the fridge, he swung the door closed and took a seat accross from me. This was his nightly routine, come in, grab a beer, nag me about my size and then head out to be with his work buddies.
"Yeah, well why don't you think I'm having anything to eat?" I practically growled, I was always wondered how our relationship had gotten to this stage, I remember we used to be the best of friends back when I was skinny and my Mom was alive. We would always play pranks on everyone together, watch cartoons on Saturday mornings, I wish it could all go back to the way it was but as the saying goes; Life's a bitch.
"Ah! See, you're already trying, keep at it and you'll be a police officer like me in no time!" He grinned, my smile used to look like that, back when I was happy, when things were easier. He stood from chair and headed out the kitchen, giving me a 'supportive' pat on the shoulder on his way out. I wasn't going to tell him about the fitness trainer, he would just give me a reason to back out, saying something like 'you should be able to do this on your own'. I heard the house hone ringing from the hallway, I didn't bother to move, my Dad always answered it anyway.
"It's for you." He said, coming back into the kitchen and handing me the cordless phone, I waited until he got the hint and left the room before I answered.
"Hello?" I asked, it wasn't very often someone called for me, it's not like I had any friends that contacted me on a daily basis.
'Hello, is this a Mr. Uzumaki Naruto?" The lady on the other end of the phone asked. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion, who exactly was this?
"Yes, can I ask who's calling?" I heard the lady giggle a little before she answered.
'I'm sorry, I always forget to state the reason I'm calling. My name's Yamanaka Ino, I'm calling on behalf of , the personal trainer you contacted earlier this afternoon.' She said sweetly, I smiled a little, finally, a little bit of hope and so soon too! I decided to take the call to my room incase prying ears were trying to get the scoop.
"Ah, yes, I filled the application out online." I grinned, I hadn't been this happy to hear some news in a long time. I caught my reflection in the mirror, even with this simple phone call I was smiling like I used to.
'Okay well, has decided that you're a perfect candidate, now you don't have to worry about a thing, we'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow afternoon, just make sure you bring plenty of fresh clothes and some photographic ID. When you arrive, I'll be there to meet you and show around, the first day is for settling in but you can't get too comfortable, will have your workout routine planned for the next day. Is there a time suitable in the atfernoon to arrange your pick up?' She asked, I was grinning from ear to ear, this all sounded too good to be true. I told Ino that anytime after twelve o'clock tomorrow should be fine, I didn't have college and the holidays were starting the day after that so I wouldn't have to worry about my education. She informed that everything had been arranged and the she looked forward to meeting me tomorrow.
"I look forward to meeting you too. Thanks, bye." I said before clicking the end call button. I flopped down onto my bed in a daze, was this really happening or was this all a dream? A figment of my imgaination? I shook my head, this was definately real and things couldn't be going any better. I jumed up from my bed to take the phone downstairs, my Dad was standing near the front door, fixing his tie after having taken it off not too long ago.
"I have to go back to work, there's a case in Suna that they need some help with so I might be gone for a little while. Will you be okay on your own?" He said, so he was going away to investigate another case, a regular occurance but this was perfect, now he wouldn't be asking questions as to why I wasn't here if he wasn't going to be either. I shook my head and told him that I was perfectly able to look after my self. I placed the phone back on the holder and watched him walk out the door. I wasn't sad to see him go, neither of us said goodbye to each other, this was just the way things went now a days. I walked into the kitchen and fixed my self a ham and lettuce sandwich, I was getting pretty hungry and I wasn't going to starve my self, I always felt guilty when eating but a little sandwich wasn't going to do me any harm. I took my small snack up stairs, I better start packing, not because I wouldn't have time tomorrow it's because I'm so damn excited!
I pulled out an old suitcase from under my bed and filled it with all the clothes I thought I would be needing, it mostly consisted of jogging pants, t-shirts and a few hoodies, I didn't have any really nice clothes, no stores did really nice clothes in my size, it didn't bother me though, a brand name on a pair of jeans meant nothing to me. I had finished packing and placed the suitcase next to my desk, I checked my watch and saw that the time was nearly ten o'clock. I stepped into the joint bathroom and headed for a shower. I always showered with my eyes closed, I didn't want to look, I knew that because of my belly I couldn't even see my toes. It's a sad day when a man can't even see what it is that makes him a man. I was still a virgin, sad at nineteen years old, I know but I had kissed a few girls and one boy, gender didn't matter to me, I always blamed it on the way I looked, I couldn't be picky with the way I looked so I was going to take whoever was slightly interested, male or female. I wasn't a man slut or anything, like I said, I'm a virgin but I was bi sexual and maybe after I lost most of my wieght I would be able to strike lucky with a good looking person.
I dried off after my shower and threw on a t-shirt and some boxers for bed, I always over heated during the night so I wore little clothing, I wouldn't sleep naked though, then I'd have to see the shame without the protective cover up of clothes. I set the alarm on my clock for ten o'clock in the morning, that would get me up in plenty of time before I was due to be picked up. I smiled as I closed my eyes, hoefully tomorrow would be the start of a whole new life for me.
Okay, most of you got it correct, it was Naruto's POV in the first chapter! Clever you! *round of applause* Most of you were like little dectectives while figuring it out, like little yaoi loving Sherlock Holmes! Hope you like this chapter! We meet Sasuke in the next! Ohhhhh~ Review and tell me what you think and what ideas you have for what should happen next! :)
Ja ne!
