-1An Eventful Saturday

Beep……..Beep……….Beep

The alarm clock woke Chouji from his sleep. He stretched and looked around. The sun was beaming through the window, it was a beautiful day.

'Today's the day' Chouji thought.

It was Saturday, and he had a lot on his mind. Chouji got out of the bed and went to shower. He got undressed, turned on the water, and got in, the cold water woke him out his sluggish feel before it started to get warm. He needed to be focused for today, this was big for Chouji, He had never did anything like this. This would be something the old Chouji would never do.

'I wonder what she will think when I tell I love her. What if she laughs in my face? What if she thinks I'm a crazy stalker? Maybe I shouldn't go through with this…….' Chouji battled with his thoughts.

--

"Mommy, wake up." Moshi said as she shook Ino.

Ino quickly shot up and looked around.

"What's wrong mommy, you have a bad dream?"

"Yeah, but I'm ok now. How about I fix you some breakfast?"

"O.k. mommy how about I help?" Moshi smiled.

"Sure, you can help mommy what you want?" Ino asked as she got off the couch.

"Pancakes, and some eggs."

"Ok then that's what we'll have."

Ino tried her best to push last night out of her mind. She was glad the neither her or Moshi was harmed. If she didn't have that pepper spray anything could've happened.

'Maybe I could take Moshi to the park before I have to go to work.' Ino thought as her and Moshi made breakfast.

Any other time Ino would've called in about something like this but she had to go, she needed the money.

--

'Ain't shit on T.V.' Chouji thought as he flipped through the channels.

He had been sitting there all day, it was his day off and he didn't have anything to do until tonight.

'Maybe, I should go ahead to the club. Then I would look like a stalker, but I cant just wait.' a knock on the door snapped Chouji from his thoughts.

"Chouji you in there? Open the door already!" Shikamaru yelled.

When Chouji opened the door Shikamaru and company stormed in. Shikamaru and Kankuro sat on the couch, Naruto and Kiba went towards Chouji's fridge.

"Yeah come on in and fuck up my apartment I don't mind." Chouji said.

"What's up with you? We just came by to see if you wanted to go to a bar with us tonight." Shika asked.

"Not tonight guys……I got some things I have to take care of." Chouji replied.

Naruto lifted his head from the fridge "Chouji what's up with you? You've been acting strange ever since that night at the club. Did something happen between you and that stripper what was her name? Temari?"

"No it was Ino." Chouji answered.

"Aww, our little boy has a crush on a stripper." Kiba laughed.

"No it's nothing like that."

"Are you sure? Because you don't want to be in love with a stripper." Kankuro said.

"Why not?" Chouji asked.

"They are only after one thing and that is your money. They'll say they love you and then when your asleep the take all the money you got."

"Yeah, strippers are nothing but whores." Naruto said.

"Y'all talking crazy I don't love a stripper, but y'all got to go, I got things I have to do." Chouji said.

Everyone headed for the door. Chouji was pushing all of them out, he wanted them gone now.

"So when you finish doing what you doing you want to hang with us then?" Naruto asked.

"Maybe, now I'll see you guys later." Chouji slammed the door.

"That was weird." Shika said.

"Yeah, he hasn't been acting right. I hope he's ok." Kankuro replied.

--

It was about 11 o'clock when Chouji left for the club. He had battled with his thoughts ever since his friends left and Chouji's mind was still in a heated argument.

'Maybe they're right she might just be a whore……… No stop thinking that there's something about her…….she's different from the others. Well, there's only one way to know.'

--

It was time for Ino to go to work and she was running a little late. Ino had forgot she had to work and after what happened she really didn't want to.

"Do you have to go to work?" Moshi asked Ino.

"I'm sorry, I wish I could spend time with you tonight." Ino replied.

"What are we doing tomorrow mommy?"

"Hmm, want to go get some ice cream tomorrow?"

"Yay, thank you mommy." Moshi smiled.

Ino pulled up to her mom's and let Moshi out.

"Alright now, I have to go I'll be back for you later." Ino gave her a kiss.

"Bye Mommy I love you."

"I love you too."

Moshi got out the car and went up to the house. Ino waited until she was inside to pull off, as Ino drove she was deep inside her thoughts.

'I wonder if Neji will be there? If he is I'll tell Jiraiya and he'll be arrested on the spot. I know Jiraiya will look out for me.' Her mind was finally at ease for now.

--

When Ino arrived at the club, the guard behind the club told her to go to the bosses office. Ino wondered why he wanted to see her, but thought nothing of it. When she got to his office, she knocked on the door and it slowly opened. Ino stepped in and the door slowly closed behind her. The room had dim lighting and there was a husky man sitting in a desk, his face hidden in the darkness and all you could see is his big hairy hands on the desk.

"Ah Ino how are you?" a deep voice asked.

"Just fine sir. Did you want to see me?" Ino replied.

"As you know Neji Hyuuga is one of our most valued customers and we do all we can to make sure he's taken care of."

Ino nodded.

"…..so that is why I'm going to have to fire you."

--

Chouji pulled into the parking lot and sat in his car, this was the moment of truth. He couldn't back out now. He got out of the car and entered the club. He looked around but did not see the women he was pursuing. He saw the white haired guy from before and decided to ask him.

"Hey sir." Chouji said.

"Yeah what is it?" Jiraiya replied.

"Is Angel working today?"

"I think so, why?"

"Can I have a private dance?" Chouji pulled out a hundred dollar bill.

Jiraiya took the money "Right this way sir."

--

Ino couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was getting fired just for defending her and her child.

"What why?" Ino asked.

"Well we have to look out for the clubs best interest I'm sorry."

"He attacked me and my child I was only doing what a parent would do."

"I'm sorry Ino." The man leaned back in his chair.

A guard enter the room and walked over to the boss. He had whispered something in his ear.

"Ok thank you." The man told the guard.

"Ino you have a customer and after you finish clean out your locker and thanks for your services."
Ino walked to the door and was let out by a guard. She felt sick to her stomach, how was she gonna pay for Moshi's birthday, and the bills? She went to the dressing room and prepared for her last dance.

--

Chouji sat in the room awaiting her entrance. He wanted to tell her as soon as she got into the room. He couldn't wait, he had to tell her his feelings. He heard the door open, it was her. Ino didn't speak, she just went behind the bar, cut on the music and began to dance.

'Is this the same person?' Chouji thought as he watched her dance.

"Angel is there something wrong?" Chouji asked.

Ino looked up and remembered who it was. That innocent man who had been so kind to her that day.

"I'm sorry I-" Ino had tears running down her face.

She hopped off the stage and ran out the room. Chouji was confused about what happen. He had to talk to her and find out what was wrong.

--

Ino sat there and cleaned out her locker and cried. She didn't know how her and Moshi was gonna get by. There was no other job out there she could do. Ino finished cleaning out her locker and proceeded to the exit. Ino walked to her not knowing how to tell her mother the news.

"Angel…" A voice called.

Ino looked up to see Chouji. Chouji walked towards her and she began to slowly back away.

"What do you want?" Ino asked.

"I wanted to know what was wrong you ran out crying I was worried." Chouji replied.

"Well….it nothing you should worry about."

"But I am, now tell me what wrong."

Ino dropped her bag. "I just got fired from here and now I don't know how I'm going to get by."

Ino eyes started to water up. "Every time I try to get ahead I get knocked back……"

"Ino…….." Chouji felt sorry for her.

Chouji went over to her and wrapped his arms around her. Ino didn't know what to do, it felt nice in his arms but that wasn't going to help her with her problem.

"I got an idea come be a waiter at the Redwave Restaurant." Chouji said.

"I don't know anything about that." Ino replied.

"They'll teach you and plus I can pull some strings and get you hired no problem and Ill help you with any problems you have."

"Really?"

"Yeah so how about it?"

"I would love that. Thank you." Ino planted a kiss on Chouji's cheek.

"Just be at the Restaurant on Monday ok?" Chouji told her.

"Ok I will and thank you." Ino got into her car. She felt this was the first step in the right direction.

Chouji watched as she drove off, he felt good that he could help her in her time of need.

Chouji went and got into his car.

"This is bad." Naruto said.

"Yeah we got to break those two up no matter what it takes." Kiba replied.

Naruto and company had saw the entire thing. They had some plans for Ino. Monday would be the first and last day for Ino at Redwave.
