Oh, lucky fans! (Well, there was one review, so "fan" is the better term...) Because of my thriving *cough* social life, I won't be able to update tomorrow, so....EARLY UPDAAAATE!Damn. Well, technically it's tomorrow, since it's so late that I'm doing this..Well, never mind then. Boo. :(

OK, well I have a new chapter! The very beginning taste of angst!Naruto, whom I must say that I love. ^.^ I hope you enjoy, lovely readers.

"Naruto. We require your services," a crisp, posh female voice stated matter of factly. Her diction was not monotonous, but she spoke without even the slightest trace of emotion.

Naruto's voice was strained with anger, his neck stiff with instant tension. "I was promised the night off. You said I wouldn't be needed."

"I understand that, but it does neither change nor remove our need of you. We are not in the business of saying 'no' to our clients."

Sai's voice drifted into the kitchen sweetly calling a slurred version of his name. Naruto lowered his voice to a harsh whisper, taking several brisk steps away from the door.

"It's the middle of the damn night. I've been drinking. Does it have to be me?"

"I suggest that you stop. Transportation will be arranged. Yes, Naruto. You were asked for by name."

Naruto froze. "What?" he asked, his voice a pointed, breathless whisper.

"The details of your service will be given in full upon your arrival, per the usual. I need not remind you of your contractual obligation, Naruto."

Her statement sent a chill down his spine that bitterly rivaled the fire swelling in his chest.

"My contractual—you swore to me that my identity—"

"Your identity is safe," the woman said tersely. "It will all be explained to you once you arrive."

Naruto's grip on Sai's wine bottle tightened.

"Fine," he almost spat. He could feel the muscles of his jaw twitching. A deep scowl marred his features.

"A car will arrive for you in half an hour."

The line went dead.

Naruto placed his phone on the counter, then the bottle. He gripped its edge tightly as the familiar weight of resignation settled over him. The blond took a deep breath through his nose. He closed his eyes and blew it out in a huff. Shit.

He replaced his beer in the refrigerator and twisted the cork back into the wine before heading back to the living room. The movie's credits slid lazily up the television screen accompanied by a sugary Korean pop song. Sai was sleeping lightly on the couch. His head was pillowed on his folded arm, body curled nearly into the fetal position. His moth, with its rosy lips, hung open the slightest bit as shallow breaths came and went rhythmically between them.

Naruto quietly padded across the carpeted floor to pull the afghan off of the back of the sofa. He carefully unfolded it and gingerly spread it across Sai's sleeping form. Stepping back, he grabbed the remote from the coffee table and turned off the television. He cast a glance over his shoulder at his closest friend as he walked toward his bedroom door.

"Some day off," he murmured as he turned his back. With a blasé flick, he shut off the light.

A gentle breeze blew warmly in the stillness of the night. Goosebumps raised the flesh of Naruto's arms despite the placid weather as he stood on the stoop of his apartment building. He knew within moments his car would arrive. Naruto shuffled his feet, cracked his knuckles, restless.

He'd dressed in a snug black button down and well-tailored black slacks, as usual. His hair was moussed into standing blond spikes, as he tended to wear it. He'd plucked, shaven, waxed, lotioned, and treated himself until he was as smooth and tan as freshly poured caramel, as was required of him. Everything was as it should be, save for it being past midnight on his day off. And yet, there he stood, waiting for his car to arrive.

Someone has some explaining to do. I've never been disturbed before. Never. And in the middle of the damn night! The mystery shrouding his abrupt phone call and its nebulous assurance of his safety unsettled Naruto. His unease permeated him so deeply that he felt an unfamiliar relief as bright, approaching headlights forced him to clear his thoughts.

It's about damn time. Naruto rubbed the prickling chill from his arms as he loped down the steps of the porch. The sleek white Lincoln Town Car rolled to a gentle stop just as Naruto's polished black loafers trod upon the sidewalk. He pulled open the door, ducking his head to seat himself within the pristine vehicle.

"Where to tonight, Iruka?" Naruto asked blandly without looking up to meet the eyes of the driver.

"The Jacobson estate, sir," Iruka answered as pleasantly as always. The darker skinned man spoke easily with Naruto in an eternally kind voice with the keenest of edges to it. He had a strict type of happiness to him.

"It must be someone's birthday," Naruto grumbled.

"I'm not privy to that information, sir. I'm just the driver."

The wryness floating just on the fringe of Iruka's diction lifted Naruto's sour mood the slightest bit.

"Yeah, well, at least you're not the entertainment," Naruto retorted jokingly.

The airiest of chuckles drifted from the front of the car to Naruto's ears.

"Quite right, sir. Quite right."

A diminutive smirk danced on Naruto's lips even as a sigh slipped from between them.

"Hey, Iruka," he called quietly. His eyelids fluttered to leave only shining slivers of startlingly cerulean eyes to watch the landscape pass beyond the window.

"Yes sir?" The driver's kind brown eyes peered at him in the rearview mirror.

Naruto's eyes slipped shut. He wriggled and squirmed to adjust himself on the black leather seats. Deeming himself comfortable enough, he rested his head against the cool glass of the window.

"Wake me up when we get there, would ya?" he murmured.

Iruka nodded. His gaze lingered on his young passenger for just a moment before returning to the road.

"Of course, sir," he replied dutifully. A sad smile occupied his features.

"Thanks, Iruka," Naruto nearly whispered, and shuffled deeper into the leather, drifting off to the sound of the world passing him by.

Short again, I know! But the next one...it's gonna be a doozie! Do people even say that anymore...? Probably not. Moving on! I humbly throw myself on the mercy of my (hopefully) growing reader base. Review if you support the arts! Review if you support hot man sex! If you support angsty Naruto! If you support the surprise coming in the next chapteeeer! Or ya know, if you feel like it. 8D

Ah, before I forget! I'll be taking bets as to the voice on the phone. :) I think everyone will be surprised. It'll be announced in coming chapters! Very, very soon....Winner gets a cookie! *cough*And maybe a cameo in an upcoming chapter*cough*

Ta-ta!
