Naruto One-Shot (Yaoi)

Ruby Zippers

By Prism0467 Narugaa (the original)

Naruto Uzumaki burst through the door of his office, sweaty and flushed, his tie loosened.

“Hold my calls, Ino”, he told his receptionist over his shoulder as he walked into his office and closed the door.

The blond set his briefcase on the floor and made quick work of divesting himself of his suit jacket, hanging it on a peg of the coat hook near the office door. He walked over to the small gray fridge next to the credenza and bent down to open the door, reaching inside for a bottle of water before closing it and making his way to his desk.

He plopped down in his large leather chair, running the cold plastic water bottle across his forehead before pulling open its seal and taking a long swig from it. The water was cool and refreshing, a welcome relief from the mid-July heat.

Naruto sighed, resting the arm of the hand holding the water bottle on one arm of his chair while he used his other hand to rub his tired eyes. It had been one crazy morning in court. The battle between his client, Sakon, and Sakon’s twin brother Ukon was taking some bizarre twists and turns. Apparently the two had made a lifelong habit of impersonating one another, until Ukon allegedly took things too far and infiltrated the porn industry using his brother’s identity. Now there was a film out there starring ‘Sakon’, depicting a felonious sex act involving a boy of as yet undetermined age--and a Western Great Lakes Gray Wolf.

It turns out the animal was an endangered species. Who knew? And just what kind of three-ring, flaming hoop dog-and-pony show had to have occurred in order to get an endangered Western Great Lakes Gray Wolf into a porno?!

He’d been grappling with the case for the past six weeks, and it was garnering its share of media attention. Naruto had mixed feelings about that. On one hand, his ancestral pedigree was hardly that, and he’d earned his legal credentials from a run-of-the-mill law school. Except for his bright-blond good looks, he wasn’t what anyone would consider the high-profile type. Naruto learned quickly to use that to his advantage, working his legal genius and earning his victories from the shadows of obscurity.

On the other hand, Tenzou’s acquittal had put the young attorney on the radar, and with this subsequent case, he was drawing attention from a variety of new sources. It was a situation which, for all its weirdness, had the potential to earn him the kind of success he’d always dreamed of, the kind that would make his late father in Heaven beam with pride.

The muted sounds of the phone ringing on the other side of his door and of vehicles driving by the small office building were all that could be heard. Naruto closed his eyes and leaned back in his big chair, grateful for the relative calm.

He was just the side of dozing off when the annoying sound of the intercom buzzer intruded on his serenity.

What the fucking hell—

Naruto opened his eyes and leaned forward, brows furrowed, pressing the button on the phone in agitation.

“I told you to hold my calls!” Naruto exclaimed in a frustrated voice.

“I’m sorry!” Ino responded, equally annoyed. “Mr. Ruby is on the line and insists I put him through. He says it’s urgent.”

Mr. Ruby? Naruto’s face morphed into a grin that would rival the Cheshire cat’s own.

His day was saved. When Mr. Ruby called it was usually a very good thing. “I’ll take it”, he spoke calmly into the intercom.

Naruto pushed another button on the phone. “Mr. Ruby”, he greeted with sheer seduction in his voice. “What can I do for you?”
