A LITTLE BIT OF HELP [M]

[Exile]

“Well this doesn’t seem like it’ll be too hard.”

Rukei said to himself as he reviewed his mission slip while he made his way out of atrium. Shortly after the Uchiha would twirl the papers around in his fingers a bit before stuffing it into his tool bag. ‘I guess I better put some pep in my step since it’s almost lunch time.’ Rukei thought to himself as he took off to the races headed towards town square, though the Shinobi would quickly notice that the streets were becoming pretty congested with the afternoon rush evident. ‘new route?’ he thought to himself as he spotted the nearest building to him, his sky blue eyes would widen quite a bit as he changed directions a bit scaling the side of the building he had just located. 

“Shouldn’t take long if I take to the roofs.”

He said to himself as he left a small trail of dust behind him as bolted up the side of the building, quickly arriving at the top of the building Rukei would jet forward in the direction of town square. ‘The village has been doing so good lately. ‘As he noticed how much the city had been changing since he was a young boy, it had appeared to be quite a few more buildings along with some places being renovated. As the Uchiha jumped from building to building his eyes wondered from left to right as he looked for the shack that was described in his mission slip, ‘it said it shouldn’t be hard to tell which one is old lady Obachan place.’ His eyes wondered and wondered until he finally reached town square, the young shinobi would hurdled from the building top landing a semi crouching position near the entrance of time square. Standing up the boy would look for the place with the most business, and of course it was Old lady Obachan’s place.

“Gosh, I hope she’s ok in their.”

Rukei said to himself as he took of towards the crowd that had seemed to be overflowing out of the shop, as he arrived at the back of the line the small boy had begin to push his way through the crowd that was out front of the building. ‘Too many dang people.’ He thought to himself as he plowed through the people finally reaching the entrance to the building. Bursting through the crowd Rukei jumped up in the middle of the severing area.  

“Rukei, here on waiter duty’s!”

As the boy’s voice hit the ears of an older lady in the kitchen she made he way out of their, she crept up behind the young Shinobi using her old technique. And with her spoon hit him across the back of the head, before pulling him by the ear. 

“Didn’t your mother teach you it’s impolite to scream in restaurants damn it.”

All the while she was talking was pulling the young boy into the kitchen, once they arrived she released Rukei’s ear as she turned away from him to look for something. Rukei would start to rub his ear a bit because it was stinging from the older lady’s vice grip on it. ’Stupid old lady, she’s lucky she’s old.’ He thought to himself as he continued to wait for her to address him. The pain in his ear started to die down a bit as the older woman turned back to him with an all white color shirt and a waiters apron, Rukei would place his hands on the back of his head an tilted it back a little looking at the older woman with a smug look on his face.

“I hope you don’t think I’m putting that on?”

He said as he grinned a bit, but too bad for him the lady hadn’t planned on playing any games at the moment as she quickly grabbed her spoon again. And as she did Rukei took a few steps back putting his hands out in front of him, 

“Ok Ok you got it I’ll wear the stupid shirt!”

  

[Exile]

I look stupid.’ Rukei thought to himself as he began to button up the white collar shirt that the woman had gave him. Once he was finished button up the shirt he grabbed the apron off of the counter tying it around his waist, ‘this is a little to big.’ he thought as the apron reached his knees. Once he was finishing putting on the clothes that old lady Obachan had giving him he would look at his self up and down before looking back to her. On her face she hosted a smile from ear to ear, she would walk over to the boy licking her thumb a bit before whipping it on his face, Rukei wouldn’t move much though you could see that he was a bit uncomfortable in the clothes he was wearing. As she stepped back and gave the boy one final look over she looked through the small window that she could see her clientele, 

“Ok now Rukei you look handsome now, and if you’re ready to work then I’ll explain your job to you.”

Rukei grimaced a bit before placing his hands behind his head tilting it back to a resting position behind his head. 

“Yeah I’m ready old Lady Obachan.”

The older woman gracefully smiled as she grabbed her spoon once more, Rukei’s eyes got quite big as the old woman gripped the spoon. But this time she would be using it properly placing into her mushroom stew that she was making. 

“Well ok Rukei, all you have to do is take down orders along with delivering them to each table. You don’t have to be super flashy but I don’t need you acting like you don’t wanna be hear, because if you do you and my spoon will be getting well acquainted with one another if you catch my drift.”

Rukei smiled as the Obachan spoke because he understood fully, ‘She kind of reminds me of mom.’ He thought for a moment as he pondered to himself a second. 

“Alright I’m on it Old Lady Obachan.”

With those words the Uchiha made his way out of the kitchen before remember he needed something to write with, he would quickly head back to kitchen to grab the pin and pad that had been on one of the counters. Once he had that he made his way out of the Kitchen onto the serving floor, the first table he saw was filled with a young man and woman who had seemed to be finished their meal. Rukei would make his way over to the table presenting all of his teeth as he smiled at the them.

“Are you two done for today?”

He asked as he held his hands behind his back or a moment.

“Why yes we are just on our way out, here is a tip for looking so sharp and tell the chef that the soup was wonderful!”

The young lady said as she handed Rukei a couple of Ryo, the boy smiled as he bowed his head to her before starting to pick up their dishes. The boy would cleaned the table completely before making his way to the kitchen to drop the dishes off, Old lady Obichan would smile at him as she pointed for the next people waiting to be seated.  ‘God this will be a long day.’ Rukei thought as he dropped their dishes in the sink. He quickly made his way out onto the floor once more walking over to the hosts stand, 

“Hello my name is Rukei, I’ll be your waiter today, and you’ll be sitting at the one table that is free.”

With those words Rukei turned away walking towards the table that he had just cleaned, he would place two menu’s on the table before looking to the two woman that he was serving. He would present a friendly smile before whipping out his pen and paper.

“Now what can I get for ya today?”

Both of them quickly skimmed through their menu before placing it flat on the table.


“We’ll both have the kitchen special Mushroom soup, what ever flavor is the most popular. And we want some soda for drinks ok?”

Rukei quickly took note of the lady’s orders making his way back to the kitchen, he would rip the paper off his tablet as he entered the kitchen.

“Here ya go old lady Obachan, and I need two soda’s.

Rukei would make his way over to what seemed to be the refrigerator before looking inside of it, ‘Ahh too soda’s.’ he thought as he quickly grabbed them out of the fridge, now the boy would be on his way back out of the kitchen to hand the lady’s their drinks. 

-This goes on for about 3 hours.-

[Exile]

“I’m beat!”

Rukei said as he walked into the kitchen after the noon rush was coming to it’s end, old lady Obachan was still cooking up more of her famous soup as their was one more group left to serve. Rukei looked to Lady Obachan with a tired look on his face as he grabbed his pin and pad off the counter once more, Rukei made his way out onto the floor. He walked with a rather sluggish demeanor compared to the one he had presented for the past couple of hours, he was dragging his feet seemingly and old lady Obachan was watching. She picked up her other spoon while watching Rukei drag his feet across the room, unknowingly the boy continued his sluggish performance pulling his pad out. 

“Yeah so, what do you want to eat?”

He asked the group of three guys as they were looking through their menus, Rukei would begin to draw a sketch on his pad while he waited for the men to come up with their order. The sketch had been a picture of old lady Obachan with an enlarged head and such, Rukei would begin to laugh a bit before one of the men snapped their fingers a couple of times. 

“Ay kid we’re ready to order.”

Rukei quickly snapped his attention back to the small group of men, he would flip the page once as he gave them his attention.

“Alright we’ll have a couple glasses of orange juice with  the house special on mushroom soup.”

Rukei quickly noted it down before heading back to the kitchen, as he walked back to the kitchen he noticed lady Obachan crazy glare from a distance. Rukei would hastate a bit as he had remembered what she had said before he started working, ‘Oh snaps.’ The young boy thought to himself as his walk turned to a creep as he made his way to the kitchen, but little did he know Obachan was ready for him when he came back into the kitchen. She was prepared for her attack 20 spoon strokes to the back of his head, the older woman would raise her spoon and soon as he was completely into the kitchen she began to wail on him with the spoon. 

“Ouch!”

would trying to hold back his cry of pain as the woman repetitively crashed the spoon to the back of his head, he would put his hands back their for only a moment as she popped those a couple of times. Once she was done she stepped back from looking down upon him with the evilest glare she could possibly give him. Rukei looked up to the lady presenting her with a slight smile as he knew he had messed up, he placed his hands on the back of his head rubbing it around a bit while he smiled at her.

“Now you gotta wash dishes! And when you’re done then you’re dismissed Rukei… I told you know slouching on the job! I’ll serve the last customs of the afternoon….. But you did a great job other than your slip up at the end, I’ll be glad to have you working for me anytime.”

 

he would continue to smile as he rubbed the lumps that he had on the back of his head a bit, 

“Ok, I’ll handle this Old Lady Obachan.”

He said as he turned to the sink to see the mountain of dishes left from all of the customers he served earlier, Rukei took off the shirt that the Obachan had giving him and got to work. Rukei was actually kind of relieved  to be doing the dishes, he figured his appearance after Obachan had wailed on him wasn’t to presenting. He’d smile while he go his wash on  dish by dish, made sure to wash every little crumb off’em. 

-This goes on for at least an hour more. 

Once the boy was finished with all the dishes Obachan had already started cleaning up the rest of the shop, Rukei stepped down from the stool he was standing on to wash the dishes. ’Phew that was hard work, I feel like I lost a couple of pounds doing that.’ He thought to himself as he looked around for his shirt, once he found he threw it over his sliding onto his body. Once he had his shirt on he made located his jacket before stepping out the kitchen to find old lady Obachan. 

“Alright Old Lady Obachan, I’ll come back another day to help you out. I’m gonna go report into the atrium now.”

He would say as he ducked back into the kitchen for a moment to grab his coat, once he had it he would make his way towards the door.

“Now you have a goodnight, I’ll tell your mom how well you did today.”

She would say as Rukei was leaving the shop, 

“I didn’t know she knew mom.”
