Sakura stood up from where she sat and walked into the kitchen where she reached into one of the drawers and took out a brown package. She looked at it for a second as if hesitating to give it to one of her best friends. With a sigh she walked back to them and handed him the package, "I didn't open it so I don't know who it is. I'm sorry Naruto, I should have told them when they delivered it that you didn't want to do it anymore but I didn't know at the time. I'm really sorry"
Naruto took the package from her shaking hands, "It's fine. It's just one more job. I'll send them a message sometime when I'm there that this will be my last job. It won't hurt anyone to lead one more person to heaven or to hell" he reassured him as he took his seat once more and ripped open the package that was addressed to him. Sakura blinked away her oncoming tears and sat down beside Sasuke once more to listen to who Naruto's new job was.
The blonde male took a deep breath before opening the box in front of him. On the top was a letter that he had read a thousand times before. He put it aside and took the brown enclosed envelope. Taking out the files within, he read the name outloud, "Hinata Hyuuga. She's currently eighteen years old, just finished high school at Konoha Academy, and lives in Konoha with her dad Hiashi and younger sister Hanabi who is currently being watched by another grim reaper" he said.
Sasuke looked at him for a second, "I feel like she's going to be a stubborn one," he muttered under his breath. He had started being a grim reaper before Sakura and Naruto and had done much more jobs than the both of them combined. He knew who was stubborn and who was more fine with it when it came to the deaths of people. "I'm just saying that because her sister is dying, of course she would want to live longer if she found that out. But when do you leave?"
Naruto stayed quiet for a second as he read the document over one more time, "Tomorrow morning before the sun rises. It's a good thing I haven't emptied out the house I live in back there or else I'm screwed" he muttered under his breath. Sasuke wondered what made Naruto silent for the very first few seconds. He watched as the blonde packed the package back up and made his way out of the room as if they had discussed nothing.
The conversation with his two friends was still fresh in his mind as if it was just yesterday that he had just left the place where they all lived but that was far from the truth as he sat in his leather couch. He had moved back to the human world a week ago and made himself feel at home once more. The house he lived in was much larger than the one he lived in with Sakura and Sasuke. The currency on Earth was much more cheaper compared to what he had to pay to live with Sakura and Sasuke.
Sighing, he rolled his sleeve up and looked at the time. It was around the time that Hinata should have been going to see her younger sister like she did every single day. He set the book he was reading down and grabbed his long black jacket off of his arm chair. No matter what the weather was, he never really minded it as grim reapers could adapt to any temperatures just in case they were in severe weather. Picking up the phone on the coffee table, he made his way out the door.
No one could see him or hear him, But he was always mindful of those he walked by because one wrong touch and they were gone from the world without even knowing it. It was the reason why he wore a long coat just in case he accidentally brushed arms with someone, he knew they wouldn't die and only think of it as the wind. He didn't have to walk far to get to the hospital. It was actually right behind his home. The hospital was the feeding ground for grim reapers as people died everyday in the hospital. But he had noticed that during the past year or so that grim reapers had only been going there when necessary as if they were hiding from something or someone.
Sitting down at one of the benches, he slightly bent his head as another grim reaper passed him. The grim reaper, who had been wearing a hat, tipped his head as a signal of hello before completely passing him and slipping through the doors of the hospital with a group of people. Naruto kept his eyes open as more grim reapers and visitors walked by him, hoping to catch a glimpse of the girl he was assigned to. He had not been given a picture of the person once more as the higher ups always found it fun watching him trying to figure out who the person was.
