Welcome to Gaia! ::

Upon their arrival, Sasuke carefully lifted Iori off the charizard's back. Charizard looked to Yumi for a poke-treat because it did what it was supposed to and it was hungry. Sasuke chuckled lightly because he knew that's what Dee's pokemon did and Corrigan's too.

Charizard looked into Sasuke's eyes as if knowing that Sasuke could hear its thoughts. It said through its mind, "Thank you for the poke puff. It was delicious! Do you want me to stay here or go back to my pokeball?"

Sasuke looked to Yumi, then back to the charizard and petting its neck, he replied, "I think going back into the pokeball would be fine for now, Charizard. If we need you, we'll bring you out again, okay?"

Letting out a soft roar, Charizard went back into its pokeball and then the three were headed down the stairs and to the ground floor where Sasuke spoke to admitting. Amy Masters, who was on call for emergencies led the three to a chamber down the main hall and close to the rear exit. In there was a very warm looking room. "Place Iori on the bed, please, Sasuke," Amy requested.

Sasuke obeyed and being very careful in the process. Amy then hooked Iori up to the necessary attachments to help the red-head gain energy and lost blood. Amy then said to Sasuke, "We will phone you at the Steakhouse when Iori has fully recovered. In the meantime, I strongly recommend you take over the duties of the restaurant. People need the steakhouse open soon for travel if anything and they will get upset if they cannot get that. And since nobody is well enough to work it, you are going to have to."

Sighing, hating the idea of working in that area, Sasuke nodded in understanding. It could not be helped. At least Mai was still there and if he really needed help, he could always get Dee over there, but he would only call Dee as a last resort.

Heading back to the roof, Sasuke used his whistle to call for the raven who happily took them back to the restaurant from the hospital. Upon landing once more, Sasuke said, "In the morning, we will be working the steakhouse. So, it would be a huge help, Yumi if you could get some more people to help us out. Mai can work cooking duties and I can be one of the waiters, but Iori normally has two or more people working, doesn't he?"

"We might be able to get Jugo, but forget it with Suigetsu. He scares people not draws them towards an establishment such as this let alone have them hold down their food. But, we could also get Choji Akimichi. He loves food and I bet he will do great here."

Sasuke laughed then said, "He won't. Especially if we promise him that after his shift, he gets his own huge meal as part of the payment for his services. He doesn't charge all that much when it comes to food related jobs so long as there is some food in it for him."

The next morning, Sasuke made sure to get everything running smoothly as if he were in command at his own place. He looked to Yumi who seemed rather pleased to be doing something she was familiar with. "You really missed this huh, Yumi?" He asked her when the two of them had a few minutes break.

Sasuke chuckled a little happy that he got to know a little bit more about his future bride. Then he said, "When you were working alongside Corrigan, do you think he would have been able to take over this place someday? I mean...in the event the worst should happen to Iori that is?"

"That's kind of sad isn't it? I mean, Iori has more kids than just you, Blaze, Ice, and Storm. And honestly, does this world need another restaurant owned by a Bogard? Counting ones I know of, there's Dee's restaurant in Nalith where the specialty is Ramen. There's the Bogard Bar where its always busy. Andy is going to open one soon. Raditz already has one. Link has one in Hyrule. Ochru who isn't full Bogard owns one. Will's son Kai owns an ice cream parlor. Seriously, we do NOT need another Bogard owning a restaurant. Look, I know Corrigan loves to work here and he'd be great at being a manager of a restaurant someday judging how most of his family owns so many of them. Shouldn't a Yagami take over a Yagami based restaurant?"

There he said it. He truly didn't mind the Bogards having as many restaurants as they do, but he has heard of some chain restaurants off world lesser in their value because of how many one family owns so many restaurants. McDonalds being one of them and KFC being another.

Sasuke chuckled, then replied, "Actually, it was not them to whom I was referring. Your dad calls the ones I am referring to as the Rainbow kids. You already know of one or have you forgotten the rivalry between Naruto and I so quickly? Violet is one of the rainbow kids. There are 5 others belonging to the same father as Violet. You probably would never have guessed that Violet is one of Dee's and your father's kids resulted because of an emergency situation before he married Bardock and Mai. You really should look at the Yagami family tree records in the Nalith public library some time or better yet...when Corrigan gets better, have him go fetch that book for you."
