- To Naruto -

Naruto paced back and forth across his office, waiting until he was ready to see the first application for the newspaper article.

"Sir, the first applicant has arrived." Sakura's voice came through the receptionist microphone.

"Send them in." He replied, rushing back to his desk, composing himself and pressing the buzzer to unlock the door.

A mid height male walked in, short black hair...In a bowl cut. The mans eyebrows where as thick as Narutos wrist and his green tuxedo looked way too out of place in the grey and white room. His stance was too uniform for coming into a simple verbal application.

"Holy shit.." Naruto thought.
"Your name?" He said calmly. Already knowing the answer as he had the mans information in front him.

"Lee Sir, I am very honored to be in your presence!" Lee said confidently, standing tall with a straight look on his face.

"Have you any qualifications?" Naruto then asked.

"Yes Sir, I have stunt training and am very quick to memorise script work." Lee proudly confirmed.

"Very good. Though the lead role doesnt require any stunt work and not too many lines. Fortunately in your case gender does not differ the script at all. As i see it you may not be fit for our lead role, but if your still interested, stunt doubles are needed for lower grade productions, pay rate remains the same though." Naruto explained to the man in front of him.

"Sorry i could not fill your requirements Mr. Uzumaki, i would be very pleased if i could take one the stunt double positions though." Lee recomposed himself from the let down, still happy with the outcome.

"Very well, a notice will be sent to the first floor of the filling of the position, head down there now to notify them of your arrival." The blonde responded.

"Thank-you Sir!" Lee said as he turned to walk out of the top floor office.

Once he was sure Lee had entered the lift and descended the building, Naruto placed a finger on the receptionist tab of his phone and spoke displeasingly into the speaker.

"Sakura if thats the first one this is going to be hopeless..." He whined.

"Thats what i thought the minute he walked in. Lets just hope if someone else applies, theysuit the position even a little better." Sakura agreed.

"Indeed." Naruto said, releasing his hold on the tab.

- To Sasuke -

The sun beamed down on his head as Sasuke walked down the main street of Konaha. Shikimaru had arranged to have lunch at a new restaurant in town to discuss Sasuke's emplyment prooblem. He may not have liked the idea of talking about a career, but there was no way Sasuke was going to turn down a payed for lunch.

*Bvvv Bvvv*

Sasuke's phone vibrated in his pocket as he neared the restuarant entrance. Delving into his jeans to retrieve the device, he flipped it open and answered.

"Hello?" He said.

"Sasuke, i just saw you walking towards the entrance, I'm on the back wall to the left." Shikimaru replied.

"Yeah alrightly." Sasuke said, opening the door and spotting the pineapple head instantly to the far left of the interior.

He could tell the restaurant had only just been opened. Gleaming polished wooden tables and benches lined the walls, new shiny black leather booth chairs sat waiting to used, and the very slight aroma of paint filled the air. Masking the smell of paint was a think scent of coffee, kitchen food being prepared and the freshness of the airconditioners.

"Hey man." Shikimaru greeted as Sasuke placed himself onto one of the booth chairs across from him.

"Hey, you ordered yet?" Sasuke asked.

"No not yet, only a drink." Shikimaru replied.

Just then a tall dark haired woman came to their table. An apron was tied around her waste and a small notepad and pen was help in a small pocket in the front of it. Her black shirt suited her figure well and a small name badge accompanied the attire.

'Kurenai'

"What can i get you two?" She questioned in a voice that almost didnt suit her, it was too direct and blunt.

"Urm..I'll get another Coke please, and just a chicken salad please." Shikimaru ordered.

"I'll get what he's having." Sasuke added on.

"Very well wont be too long." Kurenai replied, giving a directed smile at the pair before walking back towards the kitchen.

Thinking for a few seconds about the smile she gave, Sasuke came to a conclusion and perked up, directly facing Shikimaru and exclaiming quietly as so no one would hear.

"SHE THINKS WERE TOGETHER! LIKE, TOGETHER TOGETHER!" He panicked. No way did he want anyone thinking he had any feelings what so ever towards his friend.

"Hahaha mate calm down, she only thinks that because you have dyke written all over you. I mean look at what your wearing, plus ive already told her i'm paying for the whole session." Shikimaru laughed as he looked upon the astonished face of Sasuke.
"He hasnt had that kind of expression in ages." He thought.

"So YOUR the reason she thinks we're gay. THANKS DUDE." Sasuke complained.

"Would you rather her hit on you?" Shikimaru questioned.

"Absolutely not." Sasuke blunly replied.

"Exactly. Haha" Shikimaru giggled, as he reached into his small pack and pulled out the previous day's paper.

"You brought it with you?" Sasuke said, looking down at where his friend had placed the newspaper.

"I didnt know if they had them here, and it seems they dont, so it paid off." Shikimaru confirmed.
"Did you end up looking through the available stuff" He added on.

"Yeah just quickly, nothing stood out." Replied Sasuke.

"There where heaps there, ok lets see." Shikimaru said, flipping to the jobs section and reading down the list.

Sasukes face went blank as he stopped listening and stared at Shikimaru. Looking up Shikimaru started laughing as their meals where brought out by Kurenai.

"Enjoy" She said.

"Thanks." Both men said at the same time, which only caused another smile from the waiter.

"Hahahaha, ok ok ok i guess your not fond of shit scooping either." Shikimaru explained, taking a drink and continuing to giggle.

"Is there nothing else?" Sasuke stated.

"Theres one more but you wont be interested, we can wait till next weeks paper." Shikimaru said glancing back at the list of available careers.

"Well come on what is it?" Sasuke questioned.

After swallowing a mouthful of food, Shikimaru rocked back into his seat and once again picked up the paper.

"Its for and Actor, at that Kyuubi place across town, its really big with money making as well. Actually thats near your apartment to." He noticed.

"Yeah but that would need qualifications." Sasuke gave up on the enquiry and took a bite of his chicken.

"Nope, it just says its for a main role, and in quick need of one. And below it says a pay rise will be offered if anyone makes the cut." Shikimaru read.

"Its not really my thing, but it doesnt need qualifications and it doesnt require dogs or scooping shit." Sasuke replied, seriously thinking about. Since it wasnt too far from his apartment he was fond of not having to walk for.

"You sure? You need to go see the head of the business to apply." Shikimaru added on.

"Yeah may as well, if i dont get it we'll wait till next week." Sasuke motioned as he took a drink.

"Ok the number is 489-001-338" Shikimaru read from the paper to the left of him as Sasuke jotted it down onto a nearby napkin.

"Ok i'll call this afternoon." Sasuke said. As the two sat endulging in general conversation throughout the rest of their lunch.
