Enjoy the 3rd Chapter. Sorry I don't have much to say ;)
Chapter 3 (Welcome New Orleans)
Even though Texas and Louisiana were state neighbours, they were so different, especially in New Orleans. With its highly French influences, Sasuke always wanted to visit. Once he found out about the rise and use of Voodoo magic, he had to write a story on it. What was voodoo used for? Where did it come from? Is it a hoax? Has it killed people? How long has it been around for? So many questions rose in Sasukes head.
It took about a week of travailing to final get to where they wanted to be. Even though Texas was right next to Louisiana, it felt like they were in a complete different country. A lot of people fluently spoke French, and the buildings were magnificent, with pastel coloured shops and houses. Pink, yellow, green, every thing was so vibrant. They all had iron balconies that had flowers draping down.
"How the hell did we get to France," cried Naruto.
Sasuke put his hand in front of his eyes. "Naruto your a fucking idiot. Its New Orleans, where a lot of French happened to migrate over hear."
"Oh, my feet hurts Sasuke, since we're hear why don't we find a hotel."
"Hn, we should find a hotel soon, the sun is setting, and I need to find a place to put my writing equipment."
The first hotel they saw was in the town next to the shops and bars. Standing in the lobby, Naruto and Sasuke walked to the reception desk. They were advised to come to this hotel by the locals, as it was rated at five stars.
Naruto and Sasuke stood at the reception desk for about two minutes, as no one was behind the reception desk. Naruto decided to ring the bell, still no one came so he range it again and again and again...
"Knock it off dope" Sasuke scowled, whacking his shoulder.
"Bonjour, how can I help gentlemen" a man said with a thick French accent, as he popped over the reception counter with a fake smile.
"We'd like a room," Sasuke said.
"Sorry monsieur's, but we have no rooms left. You see, you came at a busy time, it's Mardi Gras," the receptionist stated.
"Mardi who?" Naruto asked.
The man looked at Naruto like he was a pest. "Mardi Gras is a two week festival we have hear, that's why it's quite busy. Your probably not gonna find a hotel in town, as most of them are fully booked."
"What kinda five star hotel can't provide a room," Naruto bellowed.
The receptionist had never met such a rude boy. The blond boy spoke without manners whilst the dark haired boy gave of an intimidating vibe. "I can't put up with these two," thought the receptionist. Then he had an idea, or rather a plot. "I'll send them to the furthest end of town, only to whisk them to the filthiest place I can think of. That'll show them!"
Just as Sasuke and Naruto were about to turn around to leave.
"Wait, I know where you can stay, and they will definitely have room for you boys." The man smiled devilishly. "Just follow this map" he said as he circled an area on a map of New Orleans and handed it over to Sasuke.
Both of the boys thanked the receptionist and start their journey.
By the time Naruto and Sasuke found the place it was midnight. "Thank god, this is the place. It's like a castle, this is more like it," said Naruto stretching his arms over his head.
"Hn, Le Sphinx" Sasuke said reading the gold inscription. "This has to be it," he thought.
Naruto knocked on the door. Soon a black man opened the door. "Were looking for a room?" smiled Naruto, shaking the mans hand.
"Well you boys definitely came to the right place." The man made a gesture for the boys to follow him, by using a coming motion. "Hear boys, just stand in the parlour."
Once the boys got to the parlour they admired the decorations that were over the top, but they also were very confused. Men were siting on couches, whilst women dived on the men for their attention. A lot of women started to pester Sasuke, obviously because Sasuke was a very attractive young man. One woman who looked worst for wear, having thick amounts of makeup splattered on her face, decided to rub her body against Sasuke. "Mmmm, honey I've never seen you around," she said trying to sound sexy, but her voice came across too deep. She must have been three times the age of Sasuke. Just as Sasuke was about to shove the woman of him an older woman intervened.
"What have a told you Anne about scaring off the new customers," the old woman shouted, pointing her fingers at Anne. Anne just stuck her nose in the air and walked away. "Bonjour my dears, I've never seen you in hear before. My name is Madame Clémence. Is their anything I can help you with?" she smiled kindly.
"Yes, me and my friend would like a room," Naruto beamed.
"That can be arranged, have you picked which women you'd both like?"
Naruto and Sasuke both looked at each other confused.
"No, we don't want women, we just want a room." Sasuke said in a serious tone.
"I mean you can have a room, but its awful strange how you come to a brothel for no action," Madame Clémence laughed.
"A brothel!" Naruto and Sasuke both said in union.
"I'll kill that son of a bitch," Sasuke fumed.
"Oh let me guess, you were told that this was a hotel," Madame Clémence said whilst laughing so hard, she held onto the wall. "I can give you a room that's available, but you'll have to share it with another person."
"I'm not sharing with another person," Sasuke said looking agitated. Sasuke didn't like the idea of sharing his room with a filthy whore. What if he ended up sharing a room with someone like that old hag who tried to grind against him! Sasuke couldn't understand women who sold their bodys, where's their self respect?
"Come on Sasuke, what option do we have? It's late and I'm tired, we've been traveling all week, and we've walked for miles," whined Naruto. "Plus I think it will be good for you to share a room with a woman, it'll give you more experience with women other than your mother," Naruto grinned.
"Shut up dope," Sasuke glared. "Fine, we'll take it," mumbled Sasuke handing the woman a lump some of cash.
"Ahh, that's great dears, just come with me." Madame Clémence took them up the first flight of stairs, which lead them to a hallway of doors. Noises could be heard through the doors, noises that Sasuke and Naruto wished they'd never heard. At the end of the hallway was another door that led them to more flights of stairs. At the top of the stairs was a large wooden double door.
"This is your room. I gave you both this room cause it's out of the way and it's one of the biggest in the house," explained Madame Clémence. "Don't worry about the girl who'll you'll be sharing this room with, she's a sweetheart." Sasuke just rolled his eyes.
