Chapter 6: Sasuke's never ending work day

If I had to relate this chapter to anything, I'd call it a small filler. But unlike most fillers, it does become important at the end of the story. Keep the reviews coming, I love em! I'll try to get the next chapter up after work tomorrow, but then the one after that won't come until monday. I'll try for sunday, but its an iffy So, I'll make sure the next one is good enough to tide everyone over. Next Chapter: Sakura's heart. Enjoy!

Sasuke was broken from another disturbing dream, by his nine a.m. wake up call, via his alarm clock. He barely moved after he punched the clock to the floor. He lay there in bed until the sound of a scattered plastic device annoyed him enough to move.

'Guess I'll be buying a new one.'

It was his fourth one, in this month alone; he wasn't a morning person. He tried to remember the dream he had been having, but it was too fogy and he could barely make out any of the images; so instead, he began to get ready to go to work.

Although it was Friday, it was his Monday. Working at a car wash meant more business during the weekend, then during the week.

'I need to find a new job.'

He had been working at the 'Strip Wash,' along with everyone else, every summer since freshmen year. It had been the only place that would hire all of them, because Ino's dad was a co-owner.

He started work at ten, so he left his apartment at ten till.

The first hour had been easy, but shortly after eleven, it started to get busy and all the outside workers were starting to complain.

"Jeez, don't people have more important things to do, then to get their cars washed."

"Your complaining is more troublesome than the customers, Chouji."

"It's just not fair. That guy in there has a hamburger!"

"Lunch isn't for another three hours, fa… man."

"What were you going to say, Kiba?"

Everyone around Kiba backed away as Chouji moved towards him, with an 'I'm going to flatten you' expression plastered on his face.

'Why did I ever agree to this?'

Sasuke had been listening to the conversations of his friends a ways away, at the water fountain.

"Well, howdy there, Sex God!"

Sasuke tensed up and looked behind him to a girl in a bikini top and too-short shorts.

"Hello Maggie."

"How's my favorite Sex God today?"

"You know I don't like being called that by customers, Maggie."

"And you know I told you to call me Pussy Cat!"

"I prefer to stay on a real name basis."

"And I'd prefer you on top of me, making sweet, sweet…"

She was cut off when Lee bounded over to them.

'Saved by the brow.'

"Lee, would you mind helping this young lady here? I'm not able to answer her questions correctly."

"Sure thing! Now miss, how may I be of service to you!"

Sasuke walked away with a grin on his face. The girl, Maggie, just stared at him with an angry look.

This wasn't a new thing for Sasuke. Girls were hitting on him all the time at work. But, no matter how much he wanted to ignore them, he knew it was easier to deal with them, then to deal with…

"GOOD MORNING SEX GOD!"

"Good morning Mr. Jiraiya."

"Oh Sex God, how many times have I told you to just call me Jiraiya, drop the formal thing."

"About as many times as I have asked you to stop calling me Sex God."

"Oh, but it fits too well. I patted myself on the back for days after I gave you that nickname."

His boss, Jiraiya, was the main manager of the car wash, and liked to give his employees nicknames.

"Gives a more family type touch to the work place!"

In Sasuke's opinion, he had received the worst one. While everyone else's stayed at work, he had to deal with being called Sex God everywhere he went.

"Did you need to talk to me about something, Mr. Jiraiya?"

"Yes, Sex God. This place is a mad house, and although I love it! With Blonde Blunder and Quiet Eyes off on their honeymoon, and half of the rest of our family not starting till Monday, the ones here can barely handle the work load!"

"So, why don't you call some of them?"

"Don't you think I've attempted that? Silent Killer and Bon Bon just laughed at me over the phone and hung up. I have a mind to fire them. But Bon Bon is just too cute and Silent Killer would well… kill me if I fired his girlfriend. Buggy… well… He scares me too much for me to even try."

Sasuke was getting annoyed with all his blabbering.

'Get to the point!'

"Scotch Maiden, well, I didn't call her because than Round Pound and Cloud Nine would be too busy talking to her to do any lick of work."

'Tick tock… Tick Tock…'

"The Three Sandboxians didn't bother to answer their phones. But I did leave Little Red a message. I love that kid; he is so much like me."

'Is he high?'

"HEY! Dog Breath! Leave Round Pound alone and get back to work."

Sasuke looked over to see Kiba being chased around a car by Chouji.

"But Mr. Jiraiya, he was chasing me!"

"That's it, Puff ball can't come to work with you for a week."

"NO, AKAMARU!"

"Anyway! So, I've tried all of them, but couldn't reach anyone."

"So?"

"Call Flower for me, Please!"

Sasuke's eyes light up. He had almost forgotten completely about her this morning.

'Thanks a lot!'

"Why don't you call her?"

"I've tried! But she isn't at the dorms, her cell is off and Scotch Maiden said she wasn't at her place."

"So why do you think I can get a hold of her, when you couldn't?"

"Because she is your arm candy!"

"How many times do I have to tell you; don't call Sakura that. And for you information, Mr. Jiraiya, she isn't my arm… eh, girlfriend, anymore!"

After that, he walked away, leaving Jiraiya, with his mouth wide open. He saw he was about to chase after him, when the other co-owner of the car wash, Tsunade, stepped out.

"JIRAIYA! Get your perverted self in here and get to that paper work I placed on your desk this morning!"

When he was sure the pervert was gone, he stopped and lent against a pole. He looked over towards the office part of the building, to where Sakura's desk was. It was empty at the moment, since she didn't start till Monday.

He smiled when he remembered how she would tease him from within the air condition building. How she would wear bikinis, just to torture him when he went inside for breaks.

She would lean against the break room table, exposing her backside to him. The pink flower tattoo on the middle of her back always caught his eye first. When no one was looking, he would gently caress the spot where it was. She would quickly turn around, give him a fake 'How dare you' look and walk away; only to wink at him when she reached the door.

He didn't realize that he was smiling until a bucket of water was poured on him.

"What the fu…"

A roar of laughter came from Chouji and Kiba as they ran away.

"I think you look good, wet, Sex God."

'Oh great, her.'

He turned around to see his worst favorite customer, Karin, walking towards him. He quickly turned to walk away, when she stepped in front of him.

"Word on the street is that you are single again."

"So."

"So, it's also said that little miss book worm was the one that dumped you. You must be so heartbroken."

"…"

"Let Karin help you take all your heartbreak away. Dinner? Tonight?"

'Jeez, she never stops. How am I going to get rid of her, once and for all? Oh, I've got it.'

"Can't. Got to watch the kid tonight."

"Got to what the what?"

"I've. Got. To. Watch. The. Kid. Tonight."

"Yes, I heard you. What kid are you talking about?"

"Oh. I guess I can't keep him a secret for much longer. Sakura and I secretly have a seven month old boy."

"…"

"Yeah, we decided that even though we were over, we would keep a good relationship for Sasuke Jr."

"Sasuke… Jr…"

"I was against the name at first, but I couldn't say no after Sakura begged me so much. He is so cute. You know what! We should have dinner tonight; you can help me take care of him. He is a handful, with all the throwing up he does."

"Throwing… Up!"

"Yeah. He throws up on your shirt, on your hair, in your mouth; just all over really. Yeah, he is a handful alright. But I wouldn't give it up for the world."

He pretended to be absolutely smitten with his fake son.

Karin couldn't take it anymore.

"Oh, you know what… Actually, I just remembered I have other plans. Maybe… never…"

And with that, she ran off, got in her car and drove off.

'I might have lost us our best customer, but I don't care. The look on her face was worth it.' Sasuke said, while laughing to himself.

The rest of the day was filled with the normal accuracies; girls flirting with him and placing large tips in his back pocket. He actually thought he felt one pinch his butt. Jiraiya kept trying to get out to Sasuke to 'comfort/scold' him, but kept being physically pulled inside by Tsunade.

'Sometimes, I love that woman for her strength.'

The one thing that bothered Sasuke the most was the constant thoughts of Sakura he had to shake from his mind.

'No! NO! Stop thinking about her. Stop remembering each thing we did together. Stop! Stop! Stop!'

He unknowingly let out a sigh.

'But what if I don't want too?'

Just then, another bucket of water drenched Sasuke head to foot. He clenched his fist as he dove onto to Chouji and Kiba, who this time, couldn't get away.

"When will today be over?"

"Not till 6 o'clock sharp!"

'Ugh!'

"Sex God, I know how you feel. To lose Flower like that, must have been hard. But you know what always cheers me up after me and a girl are over."

"…"

"I GO AND FLIRT WITH THE NEXT ONE I SEE! Nothing cheers you up better then a good flirt with the next prettiest girl you come across. So… How 'bout it? There are some nice ones over there."

"Leave me alone or I'll quit."

Jiraiya let out a squeal and ran away.

"No! Don't! Don't! You are our money maker!"

Sasuke sighed before stepping out of the way as a third bucket of water almost soaked him again.

"You really think I'll fall for that a third time. I'm Ninja Bitch! Ninja!"

"Oh no! He's gone psychotic! Run!" Chouji and Kiba said together before running off.

'That should keep them away for the rest of the day.'

He looked down at his watch.

'Only three. Dammit.'
