Author's Note: We're in the final stretch! (^_^) Crayonbox, there is no such thing as a crappy review. A true writer enjoys any feedback that he or she gets, because it shows that at minimum, somebody is reading the work. Hits show that people are clicking on the story, but they may have read one sentence, and then closed their browsers. So, I'm glad that you're enjoying my work! Kanazerosukenaru, sorry girl, but as a straight woman, I like for my men to be straight as well. I'm not into unrequited love, lol. But, honestly, I'm not anti-yaoi; I just choose not to write it, because there are hardly any stories highlighting close, loving, male friendships without somebody having to be gay. Yes, there are gay men, but there are straight ones, too. Therefore, I think that the disproportionate amount of stories focusing on gay, male friends versus straight, male friends sends a toxic message to our male populace about how close they can or can't be with other guys, which can breed homophobia in the weak-minded. Heaven forbid they do something that makes society think that they are gay (-_-). But, that's just my opinion. I'm going to stop here so that this note doesn't become longer than the chapter. Once I finish this story, I will post an editorial explaining all of the intricacies of this plot, and my thought processes behind them. So, without further ado... Chapter 13 "Naruto, I don't know how you pulled this off, but this is one hell of a proposal. This will not only give Yamanaka Enterprise access to the Japanese market, but to Uchiha Corporation, its subsidiaries and all of its current and future partners with our only concession being limited distribution of the SPSC65 to Uchiha competitors for the next five years. This is almost too good to be true. Excellent work! Are you certain they will sign it?" Uncle Inoichi praised after he read over the new proposal, once, twice and then a third time. He's always been a hard guy to impress, so I'm a little embarrassed that he's going all out on the compliments, especially when I don't fully deserve them. "Um, I kind of had a blueprint to work from, and a lot of help from Shikamaru. But, I'm sure it will be signed. I already got a verbal agreement," I respond, while rubbing the back of my head. I hope Uncle Inoichi isn't pissed that I sort of took matters into my own hands. Wait a minute, he's staring at me! Whew! He just raised his eyebrow, and then smirked. The coast is clear. "As good as this deal is, I'm not sure that I want to have any dealings with a shady character like Fugaku Uchiha," Uncle Inoichi says while shaking his head, followed by a sigh. He then looks at the proposal again, before handing the large stack of papers back to me. "Sorry, sport, but I have to agree with your uncle on this one. Fugaku Uchiha is a toxic asset. I'm surprised you're so comfortable dealing with him, considering he's been trying to buy you since September," my dad adds casually, and I can't hide the look of shock that decorates my face. "Don't look at me like that. You're my only son, my only child; of course, I'm going to check up on you. So, even though you forbade me from helping you with your finances, I check your account balance every week to make sure that you aren't going without. I was quite surprised to see a nearly 3000 dollar surplus hadn't been accounted for. I had my suspicions of where it came from, and had them confirmed when all of those gifts arrived at our cabin on Christmas," my dad adds, and I'm seething. I say that I want to be a man and to stand on my own two feet, and his ass ignores my request, and goes snooping through my funds. He's worse than mom! "I am so going to remove you from my account the minute that I get back into town," I say calmly, but with a frown on my face. Apparently, it doesn't faze my dad, because he just gives me the Namikaze grin, while rubbing the back of his neck. That's okay, we'll see who's grinning next week! "Anyways, Uncle Inoichi, you don't have to worry about Fugaku, because his time as president is limited," I add, and after seeing two very puzzled faces, I realize that I'm going to have to explain further. "It's a bit beyond me, so I hope that what I'm about to say makes sense. If it does, please explain it to me. But, it all starts with Itachi, Fugaku's oldest son. You see he had been planning a coup d'état since he was 13 years old. Not only did he change a lot of the company's policies under Fugaku's nose, he started buying shares the minute he was of legal age. By the time he defected three years ago, he owned 9% of the shares. Because he didn't appear to be making any direct moves involving or against Uchiha Corps, Fugaku got sloppy with his business transactions. His three major dealings are with Amaterasu, GK based in Okinawa, Japan, Tsukiyomi, Ltd based in Hong Kong, and Susanoo, LLP based in the UK. Most people believe that Anko Mitarashi, Konan Cheung and Samui Michaelson run those companies, but they are only acting presidents for the real president, who went on sabbatical five years ago. Wanna guess who the president is? Furthermore, Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi and Susanoo are just subsidiaries of Akatsuki, K.K., which is also run and owned by Itachi. So, if you look at the shares, Amaterasu own 13 percent, Tsukiyomi owns 12 percent, and Susanoo own 17 percent. Add it all up and it gives Itachi 51 percent of Uchiha Corporations shares, making him the majority owner. Now that he's reclaimed his position as president of his subsidiaries, he's going to replace Fugaku with Sasuke as president of Uchiha Corps at the next board meeting in three weeks. He's willing to stand in as acting president until Sasuke is ready and able to take over, but he wants nothing to do with Uchiha Corps beyond that," I explain to the best of my abilities, and I'm relieved that Uncle Inoichi and my dad look a lot less confused than what I did when it was first explained to me. "I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by Itachi's level of genius or more disturbed by his level of ruthlessness. It says a lot about a man when he's willing to turn against his own father, no matter how big of a piece of shit his father may be. Are you certain we can trust him?" Uncle Inoichi says after letting out a long, slow whistle. I don't even have to think about it. "I trust him," I say emphatically. "Well, if he has my boy's trust, then he has mine as well," my dad says, after resting his hand on top of my head. I try to look over at him, but his damn hand is too heavy. "Then I guess it's settled. I'll send this along to Kakashi to see if anything needs to be tightened up, and if not, tell Itachi that he has himself a deal," Uncle Inoichi states, before setting the proposal onto his desk. He then turns to me with a stern look. What the hell did I do now? "Now that all of that is taken care off, I want you to go off and have a good time on your trip. You worry far too much about trivial things for someone your age. Leave Yamanaka Enterprise to me," he lectures, and my dad makes sure that he adds his one-half cent. "Yeah, no kidding. At the rate you're going, you're going to be grayer than pops before you can legally drink a beer," he says, before messing up my hair. I swear I get no respect around here. I had to deal with a maniacal tyrant all year long, who was seriously trying to open up shop in our company, and yet they say I worry about trivial things. Furthermore, what the hell is up with my dad's attraction to my hair? He has the same shit on top of his head, yet he insists on messing up mine even though I spent an hour trying to get it to NOT look like bedhead. I swear that I'm going to put him in the shittiest nursing home that I can find when he gets old. "But, speaking of trips, here's a little something from me and your mom," My dad interrupts my thoughts, and then hands me an envelope. I look inside it, and count ten one-hundred dollar bills. My dad sees that I'm about to hand it back, but he stops my hand. "Naruto, I know that you want to do everything on your own, and I've let you for the most part. But, spring break is only once a year and this is your first one as a college student, so you want to enjoy it, because good or bad, it will be an unforgettable experience. Besides, you do not want to be over 1500 miles away from home stressing out about money. Take the cash," he says, and I have to look between him and the envelope several times before I decide to put it in my pocket. Immediately, there is a sense of relief, because I had worked out a budget that didn't leave room for any deviation, and now, I'm sure that I can cover any and all expenses. "Thanks dad," I say, and unsurprisingly, his damn hand is on top of my head again. "No problem. Like I said, you're my only child… at least for the next few months," he replies, and then looks around the room, not meeting my face. I'm slow on the uptake, but I eventually get it. "Whoa, mom's pregnant? Since when? How long did you know? What is she having?" I rattle off as quickly as my brain can form words, and my dad just smiles, calmly. "Yes, your mom is pregnant, she's six weeks along, we've known for about two weeks, and we won't know the sex for a few months," he answers, yet I'm already imagining having a little brother around. Not only will I be able to teach him how to raise hell, having another guy around will balance out the estrogen around here. The women in my family have way too much power. "I can't wait to meet my little brother," I announce, and before my mouth closes, my dad's hand is on top of it, and he's looking around the room as quickly as he can move his head. "Do NOT let Kushina hear you say that! She swears that she's having a girl, and saying anything differently leads to very bad things," my dad says firmly, and my little image shatters as I imagine a miniature Ino walking through the house, pulling my hair, stealing my stuff and siding with mom. My dad must be thinking something similar, because his eyes are just as wide as mine. "So, my little brother is finally going to have the pleasure of having a daughter, huh? Nice! I can't wait till the teenage years arrive," Uncle Inoichi speaks, and my dad looks a little green. It causes Uncle Inoichi to slap him on his back, before turning to me. "I also have a little something for you," he says, before placing a set of keys in my hand, "You wouldn't allow me to pay for your plane tickets, so at least let me rent you a decent car. The last thing I need is for one of the piece of shits you kids drive to break down. I am not driving all the way to Florida to drag your asses back here," he adds, and I can see the finality in his eyes. So, after gripping the keys, and patting my pocket, I see that there is nothing more to do here. "I guess I'll see you guys in a week," I say, and after hearing a chorus of goodbyes, and surviving a death grip from my mom, I head out.
"Hell yeah!" Kiba yells as I pull up in the rental SUV. Standing in front of the residence hall is Shikamaru, Sakura, Deidara, Ino, Sasuke and a shit-ton of bags. I think an airline carousel has less luggage than this.
"What the hell? We're spending a week in Miami, not doing a six month tour in Iraq!" I yell after I turn the radio down. Shikamaru mutters something about me knowing who the bags belong to, Ino tells me to shut up, and Sakura hits me upside the head. See what I mean about respect? "Alright, where did you get the ride? I know your cheap ass didn't rent this," Ino says after forcing Kiba to load all of her bags, and taking a seat all the way in the back. Sasuke tries to get in the front passenger seat, but Deidara just moves him out of the way, and takes it for himself. "I'm not cheap, just practical, and Uncle Inoichi forced this onto me," I reply angrily, but she's not fazed. "Thank you, Dad!" She says with just as much anger, and I just know that she is mentally cursing me out for not accepting the plane tickets. 'What the hell? Why should we spend days driving there and back when we could do it in a few hours?' Yup, a whole lot of people were mad at me, but they'll get over it. Aww, poor Sasuke. Kiba and Sakura took the two middle seats, so he has to sit in the back with Ino and Shikamaru. By the look on Ino's face, she's loving that set up. "Alright, if we each take turns every four hours, excluding Sasuke, we should get there by noon, one at the latest," I announce. Road trip!"Ugh! What is that smell?" Sakura yells, and then covers her mouth and nose. At first, I'm wondering what the hell she's talking about, but then it hits me. It's the stench of flambéed, rotten ass.
"Alright, who fucking farted?" I yell as I turn around in my seat upfront. I've already done my share of the driving, and Sakura has done hers, leaving Shikamaru with the third shift. Considering that Uncle Inoichi left me in charge of the rental, I refused to sit in the back, and man am I glad I did. I need direct access to the window. "My bad, that was me," Kiba announces, and immediately all shirts are raised above noses. While he's laughing like hell, Shikamaru just rolls down all the windows without saying a word. "Shika, what the hell are you doing? It's too cold outside for that," Ino complains while pulling her arms into her sleeves. It gets no reaction from Shika. "I am not about to be hot boxed to the stench of his asshole while I'm trying to concentrate on driving. Deal with it," he responds dryly, leaving everybody to glare at Kiba. Deidara is so pissed that he turns in his seat so that he can glare more efficiently. "Whew! That came from my soul," Kiba says happily while fanning around himself. Neither Sasuke nor Ino are amused."What the hell is wrong with this piece of shit?"
"I told you we should have stopped for gas!" "You're the one that wanted to eat first!" "Fuck you, it's your fault!" "No, it's his fault!" "Don't put it on me! It's that bastard's fault!" This is what I wake up to, so it's not surprising that my head feels as though it's vibrating. Considering that it is dark as fuck, we're surrounded by trees and dirt roads, and we're not moving, I quickly conclude that the truck broke down. "What's going on?" I ask. "This jackass…" "That bastard…" "He didn't…" "She said…" "We couldn't…" I ask a simple question, and this is what I get all at once. Is it surprising that throbbing has been added to the vibrations of my head? "Sasuke, what the hell is going on?" I ask the voice of reason. That used to be Shika, but now, if you address him, Sakura takes it as her cue to talk, meaning the rest of them will talk, getting us back to square one. "We ran out of gas," he answers casually from his place in the back. It's kind of funny seeing him sitting there calmly, while Ino and Sakura are attached to the top of Kiba's head, Shika has his head in his hands, and Deidara is outside of the car pacing. "I go to sleep for a few hours, and this is what happens? What the hell? Nobody thought to get some gas?" I ask angrily, and from her perch on Kiba's head, Sakura answers. "We told this bastard to get gas at every gas station that we passed, but he kept saying the next one, the next one. NOW, THERE IS NO FUCKING NEXT ONE!" She screams, causing all of the men to cringe, and Ino to hit Kiba again. "How the fuck was I supposed to know that the people around here don't believe in gas?" Kiba rebutted, causing both girls to start yelling again. Meanwhile, it feels as though my head is in a tourniquet, and I'm about ready to kill somebody to make it stop. "SHUT UP!" I scream, and instantly regret it. The car is silent, but now my head is pulsating. "There's no need to panic, we're insured. I'm calling triple A," I say after I can think without pain. I speak to an agent, and am told that it will be a few hours before they can get to us, because, to put it lightly, we're in the capital of bumfuck. I explain this to everybody; they are not happy. So, after pulling EVERYBODY off of Kiba, we decide to sleep. It does not go well. "That better not be your dick," Ino growls lowly, before looking behind her, and then down at Kiba's crotch. She's not happy with what she sees. "You fucking pervert! Here I am trying to keep warm, and your ass is over here sprouting wood," she yells, and Kiba reddens. "Hey, you're the one who rubbed against it! My soldier always rises to the occasion! He was just doing his job!" he rebuts, causing Ino to get up and step on everybody in the process. Shikamaru and Sakura are cuddled up, while Deidara and I are huddling, which leaves Sasuke, who chose to fend for himself. Ino looks at her options, and then sits out by herself, shivering. Sasuke looks over at her, sadly, before turning in the other direction. The action isn't lost to Deidara. "Did they have a falling out, or something?" He whispers to me, and I see that he is hyper-analyzing them. Everybody else knows a VERY abridged version of what went on, but we left Dei in the dark. It really is for the best. "She's not happy with him right now, but they'll be okay," I reply as nonchalantly as possible. Deidara narrows his eyes slightly, but then lays back down. Good, may he never find out."It's about damn time! I can't wait to get away from y'all," Kiba declares as Deidara pulls up to our hotel at 5:36pm the next day. Immediately, Sakura and Ino start cursing him out, leaving the rest of the tourists to stare at our car. Is it possible to get a noise violation in a moving vehicle?
"Alright boys, make yourselves useful. Ino and I are going to freshen up," Sakura orders before sauntering off with my sister. We all look over at their bags, and leave that shit right there. "Okay, we already know that Sakura and Ino are going to share a room…" I start, and Deidara talks over me. "I'm taking one of the rooms for myself. You talk in your sleep, he farts, I don't really know him, and he sleeps too damn much. When I bring somebody back, I don't want to have to constantly kick him out," he says, before walking over to the receptionist. Somehow, he just hoed all of us, but it happened so fast, that no one has a comeback. "What the hell? We only reserved three rooms. If the girls are taking one, and he's taking one, that leaves one room for all four of us!" Kiba says, looking horrified. "Bery good reasoning skillrues. I'm impressed," Sasuke replies dryly, and Kiba doesn't miss a beat. "Shut your ass up!" he yells, and I pull out the money envelope. Thank you, dad! "Where in the hell did you get some money from, and didn't tell me? How much is it? Let me see," Ino says from behind me, scaring the shit out me, and almost making me drop the envelope. Quickly, I close it, and put it back in my pocket. "From the looks of it, those were all hundreds," Sakura informs even though she's a good ten feet away. "What the hell? How did you even see anything? Fucking gold-diggers!" I yell and both girls start yelling and walking towards me. Luckily, Kiba catches them both in a headlock. "Hurry up, man! Go get the rooms! Don't worry about me! Save yourself!" He yells, and every person entering and leaving the hotel turns to look at them. I walk away as fast as I can, hoping no one notices that we're all together.The economy rooms were all taken, so Sasuke and I had to take a standard room, which is going to run us about 100 dollars a day. Deidara is paying for half of it, so I can't really complain. It sure beats the little shit box that Kiba and Shika have to stay in. Not to mention, Kiba's ass is rotten! It's hard to pick up girls when your clothes carry the embedded aroma of asshole. There's also the benefit of better room service, not that I think that I'm going to have time to use it much. After sleeping all yesterday, we have plans to go water skiing, club hopping, shopping, museum touring, restaurant touring, art gallery touring and hiking within four days. See what happens when you on vacation with six other people?
"Are you ready?" Ino calls out from behind the bathroom door and Sakura starts making catcalls. They both bought new swimsuits for the vacation, and dragged us into their room so that they could model for us. We already lived through Sakura's performance in her green and white halter bikini. Now, we need to praise and hurry Ino along so that we can go. "Here it is!" Ino announces as she walks out in a solid black strappy thing that leaves nothing to the imagination. There is no ass cheek showing or boob falling out, so I'm happy with it. In fact, she looks good. Everybody thinks and says so, even Sasuke, who keeps his gaze averted. It's slight, but Ino gets a pinched look behind her eyes. Luckily, Deidara isn't paying attention. "Yeah! I see those seven pounds went to all the right places," Sakura yells, before slapping Ino's ass hard enough that it makes a noise. Ino instantly grabs it so that it doesn't jiggle too much, before turning bright red. "That's the second time you've done that today. I'm beginning to question your sexual orientation!" She yells, causing Sakura to come over to grind and mock hump her. Kiba, Shikamaru and Sasuke are smiling, which just makes Ino redder. "If you two are done, let's get a move on, hm," Deidara says, and all playing cease. I guess spring break has officially started.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
