When they arrived at their destination Naruto quickly got out and held the door open for Sasuke. He turned to follow Sasuke into the mansion and scowled. This was his last house. The owner of this household was already dead.

"What are we doing here?" he asked.

"You shouldn't talk out of turn," Sasuke answered.

"The owner of this house is dead so why are we here?" Naruto asked again completely ignoring what Sasuke had said. Even though he was a servant he had a really hard time obeying that one rule that said he shouldn't talk out of turn. What could he say? He was a talkative person.

"How do you know he's dead?" Sasuke asked.

"I used to work here," said Naruto. "What are we doing here?"

"We are mourning his death," Sasuke finally answered.

"Why?" asked Naruto. "I never saw you come and visit this house."

"I'm rich," said Sasuke. "It is expected that we mourn the loss of other rich people."

"That's stupid," Naruto said.

"It's just how it is," said Sasuke.

Naruto was almost shocked at how nonchalantly Sasuke dealt with him. Usually he would have been punished in some way or another by this point. He had a lot of scars from when his masters would punish him. He did remember one other time that he wasn't punished by this point, but he also remembered that that man had only been waiting for the most opportune moment to punish him in the worst possible ways. Naruto shuddered. He never wanted that to happen again. He would have to keep a close eye on Uchiha-sama.

The two of them walked into the house quietly while one of the dead man's servants held the door open. Sasuke could see out of the corner of his eye that the man was scowling at Naruto, but he ignored it as he deemed that he didn't care.

The inside of the house was just like Naruto remembered it being. The whole house was furnished with expensive items that, most of the time, didn't even go with the other items in the same room. It was nothing like Sasuke's house and Naruto couldn't help but notice as his new master scowled at the way the house looked.

"There you are Sasuke-kun!" squealed a young woman with pink hair. Naruto recognized her. She was actually famous among the servants for chasing the men for their money. She was once part of money so she could still act like it, but she had already gambled away all of her money and now she needed someone to give her more.

The pink haired woman bounced up to the two of them and wrapped her arms around his arm. Sasuke would have shaken her off if it wouldn't have made him look less proud than he had always been taught that he had to look. "I've been looking all over the place for you," she said happily.

"Well you found me Sakura." Sasuke said with an emotionless face, but Naruto could tell that the man was not happy at all and he had to hold back a laugh as he watched the two from his place behind them.

"Yea I did," Sakura smiled happily. "It's so sad that..." she paused for a moment as she seemed to think about something before giving up and saying, "Whatever his name is. I don't really care. It's so sad that he is dead."

"You seem so broken up about it," said Sasuke without changing his expression. Naruto couldn't hold back his laugh anymore and Sakura looked back at him with a scowl.

"I see you got a new man-servant," she hissed.

"I did," was Sasuke's only answer.

"I don't like him," she said. "You need to get him replaced." She seemed to think that her opinion would make Sasuke get rid of Naruto, but instead Sasuke looked back at him and Naruto moved forward to remove Sakura from Sasuke's arm. "Don't touch me!" she screamed as she let go of Sasuke so that she could slap Naruto in the face. Naruto was actually surprised by her strength as he fell to the ground with a throbbing pain on his face.

Sakura was about to slap Naruto again when Sasuke reached out and grabbed her arm rather painfully. "How dare you touch my servants," he growled.

"I apologize," Naruto said with a bow as he stood. "It was presumptuous of me to think that I could touch you."

"You are not forgiven you filthy servant," hissed Sakura.

Naruto just bowed again as Sasuke glared at the two of them.

"Come on," growled Sasuke as he moved into the room that everyone else was. Naruto followed him obediently with one last bow at the seething Sakura.

Naruto was definitely out of his element as he followed Sasuke around. He had always been a servant in these households, but he had never even been permitted to stand so close to the company or his master unless he was serving them. It was weird following Sasuke around without anything that he was supposed to be doing. His fingers almost itched to pick up a platter and begin to serve the dishes to the guests in his old household. He didn't mind not doing anything, he was actually enjoying it, it was just kind of weird.

"I hate it here," said Sasuke after they had only been there for an hour.

"Oh?" asked Naruto unsure if he should have said anything at all. Not like that would have stopped him either way.

"This man clearly had no taste except expensive," said Sasuke as he looked at all of the expensive items in the room that didn't go with anything else placed in the room.

"Yea," Naruto laughed. "I have to agree with you. I always hated looking at the horrible décor when I worked here."

"Why did that other servant glare at you?" Sasuke asked suddenly.

"Which one?" asked Naruto.

"The one at the door," said Sasuke.

"I don't really know actually," answered Naruto. "They've hated me since the moment I started working here. I think it probably had something to do with the fact that they got passed over for the job of his main servant for someone who never even worked in this house before. I think that's a good reason to be angry with me."

"I see," Sasuke nodded.

"Why did you want to know?" asked Naruto.

Before Sasuke could answer Sakura appeared before them and squealed "Oh, Sasuke, my father is planning a ball and you are invited."

"I thank you," Sasuke said politely. "I would be delighted to come."

Sakura squealed and ran away as Naruto looked at him weird. "I thought you didn't like her," he said.

"I don't," answered Sasuke.

"Then why did you accept her invitation?" asked Naruto.

"Her father is a very respectable man and I would like to talk to him again," answered Sasuke.

"I see," Naruto nodded.

"Let's go," Sasuke sighed. "I have paid my respects and this place is starting to give me a headache."

"Of course," Naruto said with a bow. "I'll go get the carriage to bring you home."

Sasuke sighed as he watched Naruto. He didn't know what it was, but something about his new servant seemed oddly different from the rest of the servants he had ever met. It wasn't the way the boy acted differently from the other servants that made him think this way. His general aura seemed different from the others. He looked back at the servants in the room. They were all the same and they were nothing like Naruto. It somehow both worried and comforted him to know that Naruto was different from everyone else.

Sasuke shook his head of all of these thoughts when he saw Naruto returning to tell him that the carriage was ready to take him home.
