Married to a WHAT?!

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

After a week of slaving away with preparations, the open house finally took place. Sasuke was making finishing touches to his fake furry appendages while Naruto kept glancing out of the window every five seconds.

"Relax," he told his demon lover. "I'll be right here with you."

Naruto looked at his raven haired lover. "I know. I just have a bad feeling about today. I really don't want to be here."

Before Sasuke could answer, there was knocking on the door. "If you boys are done could you come and help attend to the customers? The queue is starting to get longer."

The couple responded at once and set to work.

>>Xxx Destiny Aitsuji xxX<<

It wasn't until midday that Naruto forgot about his premonition this morning with all the work and giggling girls. The café was shorthanded with kitchen stuff so Sasuke left to help, leaving Naruto with Ino and some other course mates to take care of the serving.

"Good day!" the golden fox greeted cheerfully. "May I take your order?"

The lady was a little too mature looking to be a student but Naruto didn't question. She wore a kimono which suited her very nicely despite the oddity of the occasion. "Must be the other faculty's event," Naruto thought.

The lady observed Naruto for a rather long time before giggling behind her sleeve. The fox felt his ears twitch a little and cursed. They were meant to blend in with the rest of his classmates not sell him out. "Please let that go unnoticed."

The lady merely smiled and placed an order for some chocolate cake and a cup of tea. Just as Naruto was about to turn around, he heard something in fox language.

"So the golden fox has appeared..."

Chills went up the demon's spine when he couldn't locate the source of that. It was official, he was being targeted.

"Naruto, table fourteen is ready!"

Rushing to get the tea and cakes for the customer, the fox couldn't help but scan or Sasuke. He needed to let him know and that they had to get out of here. Ino caught sight of the slightly pale fox demon and mouthed her question silently. Naruto nodded and the Yamanaka frowned.

"Don't worry too much over it, get this to the customer and then meet me in the back. I'll get Sasuke."

Naruto nodded and carried the tray over while Ino went to search for Sasuke. She spotted the Uchiha stirring coffee and almost sighed in relief. However before she could approach the man, Sakura shoved some dishes into her arms with an urgent command to get them washed quickly. Busy hour with insufficient dishes could mean trouble. With no choice despite the urgent matter at hand, Ino had to wait for Sakura to leave before dumping the dishes in the sink.

"Sasuke! He's discovered, you need to get him out of here, I'll cover for you both. Follow the plan."

The Uchiha nodded and silently slipped out of the kitchen to look for his mate. However as he stepped out of the kitchen there was a shriek and some murmurs. The blond he was looking for had eyes widened in shock as he apologized profusely to a customer in black kimono. The lady had tea spilled all over her expensive looking fabric and was trying to wipe the beverage off.

The lady merely smiled in reassurance and Sasuke walked over. "I'm so sorry this happened. Perhaps I could show you the way to the ladies so you could clean it a little? Naruto here can look for some spare clothes for you in the meantime."
