Chapter 2

Gaara walked up the stairs to the only room that was left of the second floor of the bookshop where he, Shikamaru and Naruto worked.
The current owner and their boss had done some remodeling of the building and knocked out the whole second floor, with the exception of the one room; to make room for wall to ceiling bookshelves.

“Okay, bring the straws from the shelf there Gaara.” Naruto said as soon as the red head entered the room. Gaara did as he was told and grabbed the three straws in the small cup from the shelf.

“Ok same rule as always whoever draws the short straw gets to be the watch dog.” The blond said signaling to Gaara to hold out the straws. Shikamaru sighed, he really didn’t mind being the watch dog as he was lazy by nature he usually went for jobs that required minimal amount of effort. However, Naruto had insisted to make it fair on everyone and suggested a lucky draw before a job. They each picked a straw each and looked at the straw in their hand, Skikamaru grinned a little as he seem to be holding the shortest straw, again.

“Ah sorry Shika.” Naruto stared at the straw in Shikamaru’s hand. “Wanna swap this time, I mean you’ve been watch dog for the last 4 jobs. I don’t mind.”

“No, that is okay Naruto, I like being watch dog.” He answered the blond as he got up to gather the equipment he needed. Silently, Shikamaru was thanking whatever force that had granted him this much luck and praying it would not leave him.

“Alright everyone ready to go?” Naruto asked looking at his two partners, who both nodded. “Okay then, lets move.” The trio made their way down from the fire escape and into the wannabe racecar looking black car parked in the alleyway.


*****************************************************


“Welcome home Uchiha-sama.” The servant greeted him as soon as he entered the Uchiha Manor, offering to take his jacket and bag, Sasuke handed him the bag and jacket before taking off his shoes.

“Thank you.” He politely replied as he got his bag back .

“Sasuke-sama is that you?!” His mother half yelled from the living room.

“Yes mother.”

“Come to the living room would you dear?” She asked. Sasuke opened the door to the living room finding his mother sitting by the table.

“Yes mother?”

“Ah good, come here and sit down” She gently motioned for Sasuke to come closer. The raven haired boy walked up to the table and sat down across from his mother.

“You and your brother are like two peas in a pod, if Itachi had not been 5 years older than you, then two of you could have been twins.” She chuckled a little.

“Mother please, Was there anything important, I have homework I need to get done before tonight’s party.” He brushed off his mother’s attempt of trying to create any emotional bonds.

“Yes, the party as you know starts at 7 pm and I already had the servant put out your black tux and your dress shoes and as you may as well be aware of, Hatake and Hidian will both be attending. And as of recently, they haven’t been on the best of speaking terms and I know how much your friend Hyuuga-san has thing for drama especially if he creates it himself. Could you please make sure he does not add fuel to the fire, this is an important dinner for your father and I have made sure the two are to spend as little time in each others presence as possible.” His mother’s soft voice had turned into stern. Sasuke’s mother might look like the sweetest person on Earth , the way she conducted herself in others presence but she was an Uchiha and she had not gotten where she was without stepping on someone’s feet or maybe even broken a couple of bones… She was a woman you would not like to get on the wrong side of.

“Yes mother I will, now if you’ll excuse me, I will do my homework before we leave.” Sasuke got up and bowed a little before retreating to his room. The word of his mother was replaying in his head and the more he thought about it the more he was tempted not to tell Neji just to cure his own boredom that he was sure he’d get as soon as he reached the party.

*knock*knock*

Sasuke realized he must have dozed off because his alarm clock which had blinked 3.13 pm earlier was now blinking 5.30 pm.

“Yes?” He groggily half shouted to who ever it was on the other side of the door.

“Sasuke-sama Mrs. Uchiha-sama said to get ready, the car will arrive in one hour.” The servant said through the door.

“Okay, thank you.” He replied before letting his head fall back on to the bed. After a couple of more minutes of pointless staring at the ceiling, Sasuke dragged himself out of bed and headed for the bathroom to take a shower.

When he was done, he dried himself off and wandered in to his bedroom wearing only a small towel around his waist, if his fan girls had seen him they would probably keeled over and died of blood loss. He opened his drawer and grabbed a pair of boxers and putting them on, then he went to the next drawer searching for some black socks to wear. When he had found a pair he put them on, removed the towel from his waist revealing a pair of silk white boxer, and tossed it on the back of his chair walking over to the tux that had been placed out for him and got dressed.

*knock*knock*

“Enter” Sasuke said while he was stood in front of the mirror tying his bow-tie

“Uchiha-sama, the car has arrived.” A servant appeared in the doorway.

“I’ll be right there.” Sasuke took one last look at himself in the mirror, content with the bow-tie he headed down to join his family.


*******************************************************


“Looks like the party is starting.” Gaara said lowering the binoculars and jumping down from the edge of the rooftop, he actually stood taller than the actual rooftop.

“Good.” Shikamaru said as he turned on the small computer and began pressing different keys at lightening speed, Gaara stood watching in fascination how the fingers moved, it was like they already knew where the next button was located before they had even pressed the first key.

“Okay guys, everything is good to go on my side” The blond came out from behind the air-vent .

“Alright, I can give you shade for 15 minutes, the Uchiha Corp security system is living up to its name.” Shikamaru said not taking his eyes away from the computer screen.

“Okay, time limit 10 minutes and 5 minutes for travel.” Naruto and Gaara set their watches in sync. After that was done then they tested the feed through the wireless transmission system, Shikamaru had invented a few years, back before walking behind the air-vent, buckling up to the ropes that were lying on the ground.

“When ever you’re ready Naruto.” Shikamaru said turning in their direction. Naruto lifted the modern bow and arrow, which contained some slight improvements complimentary of Naruto. It had thrust mechanisms where the arrow was released from to give it an extra push which in affect made it fly longer, sure it might have seemed primitive but it was much more affective than climbing up the side of the building or trying to sneak in as a guest. Naruto let the arrow gently rest upon his thumb and then he closed his eyes taking a series of deep breath, focusing on the spot on the other building. After his third deep breath he opened his eyes and stared directly at the building and the spot he was marking on the other side, he lifted the bow over his head and gently pulled the string as far back as it allowed him as he lowered the bow in the right position. Then he closed his left eye and let the right one move along the arrow and to the spot before taking his last breath. As he held his breath he listened to the wind and after 2 seconds he gently let go of the string and watched as the arrow flew through the sky hitting the exact spot.

Gaara had been watching Naruto do his usual ritual before he fired his arrow, even though he had watched the blond do his shooting practice for as long as he could remember, it still amazed him how accurate and graceful Naruto was with his shooting. The blond boy grinned at him before placing the bow on the ground and handed Gaara a can of compressed air.

“Alright Shikamaru all set.” Naruto jumped on to the edge checking one last time if he was securely tied before turning to Gaara who was waiting his turn to jump on to the edge.

“Personal best eh?” The blond said before jumping of the edge and releasing some of the compressed air in to a small kite speeding up the crossing.

“Right …” Gaara responded even though he knew Naruto could not hear him, as he too did exactly what the blond had done following him to the other side.

Well over on the Uchiha Corp building, Naruto released himself from the rope and attaching himself to a rope Gaara had tied around his waist. He waited as the red head found some good footing before he gently eased himself down to the window of the top floor. When Naruto had reached it, he scratched his head, he had been expecting to have to cut through the class or tinker with a small crack but to his surprise the window was half open so all he had to do was to reach in and lift the safety lock off and open it fully. ‘They must be thinking highly of themselves’ Naruto thought climbing inside, pulling his mask on and releasing the rope.

Naruto swiftly made his move to the double doors at the end of the short corridor, he took out a master key card and swiped the card waiting for the 4 digit code to show up on the screen before he punched it in and listened for the click sound.

*click*

Naruto grinned ‘piece of cake’, he said to himself as he entered the office “Now if I was a secret document where would I be hiding?” He whispered before moving to the bookshelves, using his flashlight to read the labels. The file they had been give earlier had indicated it could be in located in two places, the bookshelves, which it obviously was not and in the safe that Uchiha Fugaku kept in his desk drawer. Naruto had laughed a little wondering if he was that paranoid for people to steal his stuff he should be keeping it on him 24/7.

The blond planted himself in the office chair, feeling himself sink into the soft cushion. Naruto couldn’t help himself, he wiggled his bum a little and leaned back enjoying the comfort of the chair as he spun it around a couple of times. Satisfied, he opened the draw finding the safe right where they had been told it would be. He studied the lock for about a second before spraying a wet substance over the code panel then placing a blue glass serial twice the size of the flash light over the light source and found the 4 numbers, he took a look at his watch 6 more minutes and about 10,000 possibilities to go through.

Naruto let his brain work, trying to remember anything he had read from the background check on the Uchiha family. ‘Birthdays, anniversaries?’, he gave the idea a second before discarding it, Fugaku did not seem to be of the sentimental type plus he was a business tycoon and probably knew how stupidly easy it would be to crack a code like that. That discarded 7, leaving another 9993 left. Suddenly he remembered that Gaara had managed to obtain his birth-certificate which contained his personal number given to each citizens when born, and in that number the first digit of his families birthdays was present right next to each other. ‘Could it be he was sentimental after all’ he thought, well he had nothing to loose so he punched in the number and listened.

*click*

Naruto stood up doing a little victory dance, he wished Gaara was here so he could rub it in his face, he had got it on the first try. He opened the safe and found a USB waiting to be snatched, if it wasn’t for the mask he had on, one could see the big grin across his face as he grabbed it and locked the safe again. Just as he closed the drawer the door to the office opened and a person entered the room.

“Who are you?

“Uhm the spring cleaner?” Naruto answered mentally slapping himself for not coming up with a better excuse.

“The spring cleaner?” Sasuke lifted an eyebrow “In August?” Sasuke turned on the lights revealing a black clothed Naruto with a mask covering half his face.

“If you are thinking you will get out of here with what ever you’ve stolen from my father dobe think again.” The raven haired boy added picking up his phone from his pocket and dialing the number to the security.

“Oi who are you calling a dobe, teme!” Naruto jumped on o the desk and back on to the floor again. “For you information I happened to be very good at what I do.”

‘Security’

“Yeah this is Uchiha Sasuke, there have been a security breach in my father’s office get your lazy asses up here now!” He growled in to the phone before hanging up, his eyes never leaving the blond.

Naruto had checked his watch and he had only 2 more minutes to get to the window, going through his option he gently pressed the button on his ear piece before speaking to Gaara.

“That was fast.” The red had said as soon as the line was open

“Yeah …” Naruto dragged out the word

“You’re in trouble aren’t you?” Gaara responded, whenever Naruto dragged out a word when answering he had somehow, 90% of the time he managed to get himself into trouble. “Need help or are we going to have to pick u up in jail.”

“No no, everything is under control. Just that could you be ready to leave as soon as I jump out the window.” Naruto said.

“What you mean jump out the window.” Gaara asked

“Just do as I say.” Naruto said before explaining in a low voice what Gaara was going to do.

“Enjoying talking to yourself dobe or do you have imaginary friends with you?” Sasuke was getting tired of being ignored.

“The imaginary friends, they always seem to have such a bad timing, interrupting and everything.” Naruto was only 2 meters away from the raven.

“Going somewhere” he asked.

“Yeah I seem to have forgotten I have an appointment in 2 minutes and I wouldn't want to be late. I am sure a business man of your standards know how annoying it is when people are late.” Naruto answered trying to get around Sasuke. Much to his surprise the raven had some combat knowledge. ‘Okay so it was going to be a bit harder that he thought it would.’

It was Naruto who attacked first hoping he could somehow catch the raven off guard, however, Sasuke was good, very good. And the fight for dominance continued longer than Naruto had expected, but he was lucky he had somehow managed to get Sasuke away from the door and Naruto seized his chance to make a run for it.

Sasuke mentally cursed himself for being so stupid and followed the blond out into the hallway hoping he could catch him down the stairs, but when he saw that the blond was heading for the window he began to panic a little. It was 24 floors down, a fall nobody would survive.

“Oi dobe what are you doing, we’re on the top floor”

“Gaara now!” Naruto leaped out of the window and Gaara pushed himself from the building releasing both caps of the compressed air cans watching as Naruto was reaching for the rope hanging from his waist, praying that he had calculated right. Suddenly he felt a rough tug around his waist and Gaara let out a sigh of relief. He looked down at the grinning blond who was holding on to the rope with both hands.

“Bye bye teme!” Naruto shouted to Sasuke who was leaning out the window in bewilderment, ‘The dobe actually jumped.’
