"LET ME GO! "
"Naruto, please calm down." The dark figure's hands were resting against my shoulders.
A police car drove down the street slowly. I started to kick up the bass of my voice to alert the police or scare this guy away. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?! HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?!" He proceeded to ram the palm on his hand against my mouth, silencing me. When the police car was up the street gone from sight, he loosened his palm from around my mouth.
"Stop being so damn noisy!" He let loose of my shoulder. He commenced to take his hat and sunglasses off. "It's me…"
I recognized the face immediately "Jesus Christ…"
"Naruto, I need your help."
"I'm sorry man, I can't help you after what you've done. You're a horrible person." My body tensed up. I thought I would never see this person again. And now he's asking me for help? What's going on?
"I didn't do what you think I did…" He placed his hands back on my shoulders. His hands were trembling. "I can tell you everything that happened that night… I just need somewhere to go for the time being. I'm not safe out here."
"Alright, I guess..." A distressed sigh departed from my lips.
"Thank you."
He followed me home like a lost puppy. He stayed in the shadows making sure he went unseen by any eyes, but mine.
What the hell was I doing?
Once we gotten to my house, he ran inside instantly.
I locked the door behind us.
When he pulled off the trench coat, his body looked all scuffed up. His face was a bit dirty.
My body felt heavy. It was an overwhelming feeling. So much was happening back to back. My eyes were still burning from the tears I had to fight back from earlier.
"Itachi, I can't help you with anything you're going to request. I can't trust you after what happened. You're probably the reason why Sasuke is like this now."
"Sasuke… I haven't done anything to him. Do you really want to know what happened that night?" Itachi bite down on his bottom lip coarsely before letting it loose. "Sasuke and I have always sought for our father's approval. Sasuke wanted it more than I did and I wanted the same for him. For Sasuke to get all of his attention, you know?"
"Mhm?"
"One night at the dinner table, our father started talking about me. About how I was getting better at the family business. Then he said something to Sasuke. "Why can't you be more like your brother?" Sasuke snapped at him. Then our mother said some hurtful things too." Itachi sighed. "Sasuke stormed off from the table. I got up to chase him, but our mother grabbed my hand and shook her head."
He took a deep breath before he continued the rest of the story.
"Later on that night, it was quiet, extremely quiet. I felt like something was wrong and I was right. I was sitting around in my room about to go check up on Sasuke. I knew my face was the last thing he wanted to see, but I love my brother. As I got up to go check on him there were gun shots in the house. I started to think the shots were being fired outside of the house. Maybe somebody got into a fight with a homeless person or a crackhead, but they sounded close to be outside. I rushed to Sasuke's room check on him, but he wasn't there. I heard the scream of our mother. I ran to her scream. When I got there, Sasuke was standing with a gun in his hand. I peered into the room. My mother and father's bodies were on top of eachother. Dead..."
Itachi's face started to tense up. His body was quivering. The things that he was telling blew my mind. Sasuke did this? I didn't think Sasuke was this crazy, but I felt myself believing in everything Itachi was telling me. His words felt so sincere and believable.
"I asked Sasuke to give me the gun and he just handed it over. The next thing I knew the police were kicking in the door and I got arrested. No trial or anything. I was some-what happy and heavyhearted that night. I was happy that Sasuke wasn't the one getting in trouble. I took the blame for it because I love my brother. I wanted to and I had to protect him, but seeing my parents there dead. Gone. I couldn't handle it. My father wasn't the best man in the world, but just seeing him there along with my mother. It killed me. These were the only people I knew my entire life, my family. That's why I couldn't let them take Sasuke away."
"Itachi…"
"I was in fear of coming back here, but I wanted to know if Sasuke was alright. All I hear is talk about how Sasuke is ruling everything and he has all this power. I even heard about him just killing people left and right. I seen you one day and I followed you. I've been trying to get you alone for a week or so now. So Naruto, I'm asking you for help. You're the only person I know that can help him. I want my little brother back"
"I want to help you Itachi, but there isn't anything we can do about Sasuke. He's too far gone. I know this isn't something you want to hear, but it's the truth. Right now I'm trying to get away from Sasuke. He's ruining my life. I know I need to take some responsibility for the things I've done, but Sasuke preyed on me at my weakest moments. Now I'm here. This isn't the place I want to be."
"Please, we have to do something."
"Whenever I get around Sasuke nothing good comes. I can't help you. I'm sorry Itachi."
"I understand…" I could see the disappointment in his face. I wanted to help Sasuke, but I didn't know what I could do for him.
Itachi grabbed his coat and threw it on.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time. Thank you for listening to me though." Itachi shoved me out the way to leave the house.
"Wait! What are you going to do? You can't just roam around out there alone."
"I'll keep in touch."
He flew out the door.
Sakura's POV (present day)
"You're a bright young lady, Sakura."
"Thank you ."
The interview was wrapping up. I was in the office for a good half an hour. She asked me all the basic questions anyone would ask at an interview. I couldn't help, but to look at her busty chest as she was speaking to me. Her tits were huge. I could only imagine if she was thinking about how small chested I was.
"I'll be right back." Tsunade walked out of her office. My heart was pounding. I was hoping and praying I would get this job. I needed it.
I stood up from the chair and walked around her office. It was nicely decorated. There were pictures all over the walls. I took a glance at all of them. There were a lot of pictures of Tsunade and a girl with black with a small pig. "My darling Shizune and I." was engraved at the bottom of the frame.
"Shizune? That's a pretty name." Maybe it was her child or her lover.
There was one more picture off to the side. The picture was being covered by a small piece of cloth. Gently I eased up the cloth to see what was underneath it. It was a photo of Tsunade and a whited haired male. "Jiriaya." was engraved at the bottom of this frame. He looked really familiar and his name did too. I've seen his face before.
I lifted up the cloth a little bit more hoping to get a clear view of the man's face. The office door started opening up and I released the cloth from my hand. I turned around quickly, looking in the direction of the door. Tsunade walked back in with a fashionable waitress uniform.
"Well then, . You're hired."
"Really?! Oh my god! Thank you, thank you! You won't regret this." She handed me my uniform. My body moved on it's own and I hugged her tightly. I was just so happy.
"Would you like to start today? We're running kind of low on waitress."
"I wouldn't mind at all." I released her from the hug.
"You can get changed in the bathroom of my office."
"Alright, thank you!"
I got changed in the bathroom. The uniform was a perfect fit for me.
The uniform was white with a pastel green trimming. My shoulder still felt a little sore from the stitches. It was going to be a while before they could come out.
When I was finished in the bathroom, Tsunade gave a bag to place my clothes in. Then she handed me a little note pad and a pen.
"Good luck out there and you can do it!" She placed her hands on my shoulders and smiled at me. I gritted my teeth from the pressure on my shoulders. The pain from the stitches were overwhelming.
I started my first day on the job. Surprisingly there weren't a lot of people that came in. I took the orders of the people that did come in.
The cook in the back had silver hair and he wore a mask over his face. He moved quickly. It looked like he's been here for a long time.
I handed over the small paper with the orders on it to him. He looked at me awkwardly. I couldn't tell what kind of expression or form his mouth was taking.
"You're new here?"
"Yeah…"
"What's your name?"
"Sakura… Sakura Haruno."
"It's nice to meet you."
"Like-wise."
That was the end of our short conversation. I sat around near the kitchen waiting for the food to finish. He handed me each plate one by one until I was finished.
I've only been working for about an hour and I'm already tired.
I sat down at the bar to a little breather.
Someone sat down by me at the bar. I didn't even bother to glance to see who it was. I stood up and went back to work.
Someone of a familiar figure walked inside of the restaurant and sat at a table. I waited a few minutes for the person to get their order together.
I eased my way over to the table with the notepad and pen in my hand.
"Welcome to La Lune. Can I take your order?"
"Sakura?"
I looked up at the person's face.
"Oh hey Sasuke."
"You work here?"
"Yup, I just started today actually."
"Well isn't that lovely…"
"I thought it was going to take forever for me to find one, but I did it." I smiled at him weakly.
"Well it looks like I'm going to have to come visit you every day now."
Sasuke took the notepad and pen out of my hand. He wrote something down and handed it back to me.
On the notepad he wrote down "I want to see you later."
My body froze and I looked at him awkwardly.
