Road of Life
Chapter Five
The taxi stopped in front of a glass-walled high-rise building. After paid the taxi charge, the blonde teen prepared to enter the building. Naruto passed through the glass revolving doors and soon was standing in the middle of the large lobby. The decor was tasteful. There has a waiting area with fancy chairs and furniture. Someone tapped his shoulder, make naruto turned around and find a beaming woman with bright red hair adjusting her black, thick framed glasses. She wore a tight black suit, and her high boots made the skin of her thighs just below her short skirt all the more obvious.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Naruto?" said the red hired woman while flipping her hair from her shoulder.
Gazed the red haired woman with some suspicious, naruto finally decide to answer "Yeah. Sorry, but.. did I know you?"
"Oh, I'm the one who will escort you to the Mr. Juugo's office, Mr. Naruto." Said the red haired women leaning toward him and brushing against his arm.
Feeling really awkward suddenly, naruto stepped back "Then you're.."
"Just call me Karin," the woman smiled somewhat flirtatious "Shall we begin then?" karin then began walking toward the elevator. Naruto warily followed her to the elevator and got in. One side of the elevator was glass, and the blonde teen watched as more and more of the scenery became apparent. "This building is one of the sought-est apartment in konoha. Therefore, there was only a few are still available" Karin began, sneaking peaks at naruto as she showed off her knowledge. "I hope you can find something that fits your taste."
Naruto nodded absently as the elevator stopped and the doors opened. And followed karin out and was led down the hall, the plush carpet in light colors seeming to radiate light as they walked. Karin stopped suddenly and Naruto nearly ran into her. She smiled at him innocently, confirming she had stopped suddenly on purpose. "We're here. This is Mr. Juugo's office." Karin knocked lightly, "Mr. Juugo, Mr. Naruto is already here."
After a moment "Come in." come a muffle answer from inside. The red haired woman opened the door and led him in. Naruto following after. The room was bright, and seems comfy.
"Naruto right?" come a soft voice from his side, naruto finally glance and meet with the view of a tall, orange haired man. His hair was spiked with gel and he was dressed in a black suit. Naruto could guess that the guy was only a few years older than him. Naruto then give a nod to the tall man. "I'm Juugo. Nice to meet you." The guy held out his hand.
"The pleasure is all mine." Naruto politely shook the man's hand.
"Yeah, uchiha already talk that you're looking for an apartment. Please, take a seat." Juugo said while gestured to the red couch in front of him. Once naruto finally taking a seat, juugo then change his attention to the red haired woman who still standing near a doorway, "You can go now karin. If I need you, I'll call you back later."
After gave a slight nod, "Yes sir." Karin eventually take her leave, and closing the door behind her.
Take a seat across naruto, "Do you want a drink, naruto?" ask juugo
Gave a slightly shake of head, naruto answer politely "Oh, no need. Thank you."
Nodding his head, juugo continued "Ok, after uchiha called. I quickly checked for some available apartment. I found three, but apparently one is under repaired which may take one month of completion. Another one, have been already rented which I'm not aware until this morning. So, we only have one apartment who availabe right now. I don't know if this one is suits your taste. So, if you want, I will let karin to show you the apartment."
Smiling, "Of course, I will like to take a look." said naruto to the tall man.
"Right, I will call karin to escort you there." Said juugo while grabbing his phone to called the red haired woman. But, the sound of knocking, interrupted it. "Come in." Then, Juugo put the phone back . The door opened, and karin enter to the room.
"Excuse me, sir." said karin while adjusted her black, thick framed glasses "But, there is Mr. Takeshi who want to meet with you now."
"Did you tell him that I have a meeting right now?" said juugo with narrowed eyes.
"I apologize, sir. I already said that you couldn't be disturbed right now, but he still insisted to meet with you." was karin's reply.
With a soft sighed, Juugo finally nodding his head, "Fine, bring him in."
"Right away, sir." was karin's quick answer, then karin leaving the room once again.
Once the door closed, juugo then returned his attention to the blonde teen, "I apologize for the inconvenience. After I finished talking to Mr. Takeshi, We will continue again." said juugo with apologize tone.
Gave the tall man reassured smile, the blonde said "It's alright. I'll wait, we can continue later."
Then, come a light knocked again, and the door opened. Karin come back with a pale skinned male with long white hair that tied neatly. Then bowed her head, taking her leave and closed the door behind her softly.
"Aa.. Mr. Takeshi, long time no see." Juugo said while held out his hand to the long white haired man.
Mr. Takeshi grabbed and shook juugo's hand. "Mr. Juugo. Thank you so much for having agreed to provide the time to meet with me."
Nodded, juugo said "It's fine. Anyway, this is Mr. Naruto." Gestured to the blonde haired teen in his side "And Naruto, this is Mr. Takeshi"
Mr. Takeshi held out his hand and naruto accept the gestured then shook his hand. "Actually" Mr. Takeshi began "I come here because I need your help, Mr. Juugo."
"How can I help you?" said juugo while eyed the white haired man curiously
"I really need an apartment by tomorrow, can you help me to find one in here?" pleaded the white haired man.
"I'm sorry. I want to help, but we don't have any apartments available now." said juugo with apologize tone.
The disappointment could clearly seen in the pale man face, "Can't you arrange something, please. This is for a wedding gift to my wife. She loved the apartments in here after a visit to one of his friend's apartment which is also located here, she always dreamed to have one in here. And, I really wanted to fulfill her dream." explained the white haired man with desperate voice.
"I can't, Mr. Takeshi. If only you come here a few days earlier. maybe I can arrange something to help you. But, today all the apartments have been filled. I really apologize." Juugo smiled regretfully as he patted his hands on takeshi's left shoulder.
With a sad sighed, "I was supposed to come here before, but because the marriage preparation, I was very busy, I did not have time to prepared the apartment."
The blonde haired teen who watched the whole ordeal quietly, finally decide to spoke "Mr. Juugo" the blonde voice actually caught the occupants in the room attention, who sending the blonde curious glanced "Excuse me for interrupted your conversation. But, can you call Karin to showed the apartment you recommend me earlier, please." said the blonde with bored voice.
Juugo stared blankly, thoroughly contemplated the demand "Right. But I think, I will escort you there by myself, Mr. Naruto" and then give the white haired man his attention again "Mr. Takeshi, I need to show Mr. Naruto the apartment room now. I apologize to cut off our conversation like this." caught a secret glance to the blonde haired teen in his side.
Chuckled awkwardly "Oh, no..no..no.. it's alright. Actually, it's me who need to apologize to interrupted your conversation before. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Naruto." The long white haired man gave the embarrassed smile to the blonde teen.
"It's fine." was naruto's clipped reply, "If you want" fixed his gaze intensely to the long white haired man, "you can accompany to take a look too." said naruto with his indifferent tone.
"Ah, I don't wanna to disturbed any longer. I'll take my leave now." said the long white haired man rather awkwardly by the intimidated aura who seem radiating from the blonde just a moment ago.
"I insisted." countered naruto, cast one more gaze at Mr. Takeshi before slipping past him out the door, "Lets go. You can lead the way, Mr. Juugo."
