Sonic had been watching the laundry hanging on the railing for a good ten minutes.  She knew her life was quite boring these days but she had forced herself to bear with it. Her daily routine was waking up to have breakfast with Genos and then doing online research about the latest technology and standards regarding security. Sonic was awed at herself for such a homebody and then get to earn thousands because of it. It was a little ridiculous but so far Mikoto Uchiha had been happy with the paperwork Sonic and Genos had prepared. Sonic didn’t know that she was talented in creating a system of security and then had people followed it.

Suddenly Sonic felt old. All the experiences she had accumulated over the years when shaped into a paperwork form seemed like a perfect security system. Of course Uchiha Works did have their own system and they were only adapting their present security system to what Genos had provided for them, but it was still something to Sonic.

She looked up at the sky and sighed, the grey sky had been grey all morning and so far there was no sign of rain at all. Deciding that the still damp clothes would be safe outside at least until tonight, she went inside to watch television.

She was alone, Genos was away for an interview and Sonic had declined to accompany him. Sonic thought that the glamour world was only fit for a hero. She lay on the futon they had bought extra so they could watch and sleep in front of the television, and saw that Genos had left a few pamphlets on their coffee table.

Sonic grasped for the pamphlets and lay on the futon. The red and black pamphlets had the words beware of the “Super Mosquito Killer’. She opened it up and the first thing she saw was the itinerary. Eyeing for Genos’s name, she saw that the event management had even put Genos’s name in the itinerary. The sub-event scheduled at 2.00 pm was titled as “Meet the Heroes: Genos the Demon Cyborg, Kurenai and Asuma the weapon wielding super ninjas, Gai Lee and Rock Lee the Green Beasts.

Sonic chuckled at the heroes promotional picture. Apparently they were using the Heroes as the attraction to their launch, She looked down further and saw that there was also a few comments by Mayor Tsunade. Sonic was glad she didn’t follow Genos, she had thought that it was just a normal event like a fund raising or something and since it’s a public event fans will crowd Genos. Sonic refuse to be a part of it.

“If I am a hero, I could never say no to these events. I don’t really care if heroes are being paid to appear there, it’s really not worth my time,” Sonic told the pamphlet.

She eyed her wall clock and then saw that it was already 2.15 pm and it was not afternoon really.

“It’s late already, I should have lunch.” Sonic said out loud to herself.

Sonic peered into the refrigerator and saw that there was no food and then she remembered that they had finished their food because they were bought on sale, and the expiry date was fast approaching.

“Guess I have to eat outside today,” Sonic smiled/. She had anticipated that actually, but Sonic totally forgot about it when she had acted like she was busy around their barely furnished house just to avoid accompanying Genos.

Sonic got into her room and began dressing in her new jacket and jeans. She brought enough to buy herself dinner and also at least two days grocery. She could wait for Genos for more shopping activities.

Just as she was getting out her phone rang, Sonic wanted to avoid it, unless it was Shisui which she had to talk to because of work. She checked her phone and saw that it was Genos calling her, “What is he doing calling me when he should be mugged by fans?” Sonic complained loudly.

She grabbed her house keys and exited the home. Sonic punched the answering button while she locked her home.

“Yeah?”

“Sonic get out of the house, run!” a voice warned her.

“I am already out.”

“Run!” and the line went dead.

Sonic frowned and looked at the phone. She placed the phone back into her jeans back pocket and started for the stairs.

What the hell was Genos saying? There’s no alarm sounding at all by the KHA.

Then a large deafening sound blared from somewhere and tremor sent Sonic down the stairs, but before she could kiss the stairs, Sonic grabbed for a railing and almost missed the edges of the stairs.

“What the?”

The other occupants of the apartment began running following the tremor. Sonic wasn’t sure if the building was falling down or something but he followed his instinct and ran down the stairs.

“Just what the hell was happening here?”

Ignorant anons in FF net are leaving stupid comments. I say stupid because I wrote in the summary that this is NaNoWriMo and it is a mess of writing. All I ever care is to push myself to write 50k words. the story comes later. For more decent story there's other more established writer. don't like don't read. 

I have 28500 more words to mess around with. Wish me luck. This is a mess so stay away if you can’t fathom it. That’s why I take months to write, ideas don’t just grow like gossips.
