Violence
Naruno counted the strange pieces of paper in her hands.
"Two-thousand dollars! Not too bad on your first day. You're the highest earner for tonight!" Amber patted her on the back. "Want to meet your best tipper?"
Naruno nodded, "What's a tipper?"
Amber laughed and draped an arm around her waist. "You have a lot to learn my friend! Don't worry, I'll teach you all you need to know."
They walked over to a secluded booth bathed in red light. Sitting there was a red-headed man in a brown sweater and black jeans. He sipped some wine and welcomed the girls with a smile.
"Naru, this is Gaara. He's owner of a prestigious corporation despite his being only fifth teen when he inherited."
Naruno smiled and bowed. "Hello! You enjoy the show? I do good?"
Gaara smiled, "She must have just been activated. She really is a virgin model…."
"Gaara…….I'm warning you…….."
"What is a virgin?"
Gaara took Naruno's hand. "A person who is completely innocent and pure."
"Innocent……and pure…….is that a good thing?"
He brought her hand to his lips, "A very good thing."
"You seem to be glowing today!" greeted Tsunade, "Where did you go?"
"I went to find a job! I got one and made a lot of money!"
"Well……job's don't usually pay on the first day…….where are you working?"
"La Amore! I got to wear a silver dress!"
Tsunade nearly screamed, but made do with dropping her broom. "W….what did you say?"
"I'm working at La Amore……..I do something bad?"
Tsunade, shaking, worked hard not to burst into tears right there.
"N-no……you didn't do anything wrong. Why are you working there?"
"I went out to find a job! Sasuke told me to get off my ass and than there were no "free rides." Naruno held out her money. "I got this money from dancing! People tip me for this! Sasuke will be happy now?"
Tsunade, shocked as it was, took Naruno into her arms. "Dear……why don't you give me thirty? That's only a third of the bill. Do this everyday so that you'll be covered. Tell him I deduct it everyday so he doesn't have to collect. Don't give him any of your money or tell him how much you have, okay?"
Naruno didn't understand why Tsunade was sad, but nodded. "Is Tsunade ma'am sad?"
"………Do not worry about me. Go on home now, Roxas was worried about you."
"Is Sasuke home?"
"He is…….go on now."
"Naruno, I'm so happy that you are okay!" Roxas hopped down from her place on the T.V. and inspected her. "You seem alright."
"I am fine……I got a job today!"
"That's wonderful! What do you do?"
"Amber said that I was a dancer! And a waitress! I get to do two jobs and get tips!"
"I do not appreciate being ignored! Looks like you got a job being a prostitute. How much you get today?"
"What is a prostitute?"
Roxas frowned, "Sasuke……."
"A prostitute is a woman who spreads their legs for anyone and gets money out of it. How much did you get today?"
Naruno smiled. "I paid Tsunade ma'am rent! Sasuke happy now?"
"Sounds like you're not worth much. Of course I could have told you that! I should have you chucked back into the trash; you're only a waste of space."
Naruno frowned, "Please don't send me away………"
"And why the hell not? I have no use for dumb blondes or your presence here every time I turn around. This is my house dammit!"
Just as Sasuke was about to say more, Roxas notified him of an incoming picture message. He quickly forgot the near-teared Xenon and plugged Roxas into the T.V.
"What the hell is this?"
Sasuke turned back to Naruno. "There's no way in hell you could be a friend of Gaara's! What did you do, sleep with him? Why would he have taken interest in a piece-of-junk Xenon like you?!"
"Sasuke that is enough! You have said enough now! Leave her be, please….."
"He says he wants to meet with you. I say go ahead! How is it he comes for you after I've been trying for years to get a job from him!?"
Naruno inched closer into her corner, clearly frightened at the Uchiha's anger.
"Why do say these things? I did not mean to make you-"
"Shut up and get out! I don't want to see your face or hear your voice! Get out, get out, GET OUT!"
With a cry, Naruno ran to the door, narrowly missing the books Sasuke threw at her.
"And take your crap with you! GET OUT! GET OUT!"
Far away, in the center or Morona, two figures, a Xenon boy and a girl stood on a tall building. The girl watched the landscape while the boy searched on his computer.
"This boy…….he has removed the Xenon from his home. Must we inform Master?"
"This is a surprising turn of events, though not an unforeseen one. I will alert the Master at once."
"Poor girl, we may have to see to her destruction after all. I so wanted her to be happy."
"Happiness moreso than often goes to the undeserving. Naruno may never have love in this cycle."
"I wouldn't wish this on anyone. That poor Xenon girl……..what should we do now?"
The boy closed the laptop and started using his own devices. "We wait and report for now. I will keep an eye on the girl."
The girl nodded and overlooked the city once more.
"Do you think she could be our Arch Angel?"
"Hmm?"
"Nothing."
