Don't Own Naruto, Sadly.

Chapter 1:

Sasuke sighed as he walked back from what he was doing. He saw a wounded fox cub Infront of him.

"Great. I can't leave it here alone..." he looked around to make sure no one was around, slipped his shirt off and wrapped the kitsune in his shirt carefuly.

He quickly ran back. His movements smooth as he tried not to harm the fox cub more. He reached his house without being noticed, thankful for which. He walked to his room and gently layed the kit in his bed.

"Stay put, kay? I'm going to get a few things." Sasuke ran into the kitchen to fix the cub something and grab his first-aid kit. He returned to the kitsune, whom had managed to sit up.

"You should be resting. It will only hurt more." He sat near the cub and placed his hand out, waiting for the fox to somewhat nuzzle his hand. And it did. Sasuke then tended to the poor things wounds, letting it on the floor to eat, more like drink some warm milk.

"I hate that stuff personaly, but it's good for you." Sasuke was knealing near the kitsune. When it was finished, it looked up, ears perked, a playful look in his eyes. Sasuke smiled a bit.

"That look reminds me of a certain knucklehead." He smiled and sat down, more like fell, as the kitsune pounced on him. He landed on his back with a small laugh as the young fox licked his neck. After a minute, Sasuke pulled him off with a sad look.

"Sorry to say but, I gotta go lil guy. I have to meet the others at the bridge. I can't take you with me either. I can't keep an eye on you there." The kit pressed it's ears to it's head, tilting his head in a sad manner. Sasuke felt his heart drop.

"Guess I could tell someone that I'm not feeling well." He stood and walked to the kitchen phone, calling Sakura.

"Haruno residents. Sakura Haruno speaking."

"Sakura?" Sasuke faked a sick voice.

"Sasuke! Huh? You sound sick."

"Yeah...I must have trained a bit too hard earlier...I got sick when I got home. I can't make it."

"But you never miss anything like this! You can't just...Oh alright...Get some rest, kay Sasuke-kun?"

"I will Sakura-chan." With that, they hung up and Sasuke turned with a smirk to the kit. "Looks like it's just you and me, lil buddy." The kit perked up again and ran to him, rubbing his head on Sasuke's leg. Sasuke knealed again, petting the kit on the head.

"Come on. I'll see if there's any real food for you." The kit ran into the kitchen before Sasuke could finish and he chuckled, walking into the kitchen, getting into the cabinet.

"Hm...Here we go..." He took something, fixed it and sat it down for the kit when it was finished. The phone rang and Sasuke jumped, looking voer to the phone. It was either Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi or Iruka. I answered the phone, not saying anything.

"Sasuke-teme! Why'd you skip out on that!" Sasuke cringed at the swueaky boys voice.

"I didn't feel well." Sasuke faked the cik voice again.

"I'll come by and visit then."

"No! I'll be fine." Sasuke prayed to God that Naruto would just leave him alone. This was to stay between him and the kit...only.

"Oish, Sasuke-teme. You need someone to take care of you."

"It was just from pushing myself too hard. All I need is some rest."

"If you say so. I'm going to check on you soon though. I'll call a couple hours before I go to sleep."

"Alright dobe." With that said, Sasuke hung up the phone and turned to see the kit sitting on the floor, head cocked to the side with a curious look. Sasuke smiled and knealed down to it.

"Hey bud. It was the knucklhead. Sorry, I can't let the others know I have a soft spot for animals. Your weakness is letting your enemies know your softspots." He patted the kit's head and smiled some. After while, Sasuke went to the bathroom and turned on the shower, only to turn around and see the kit sitting at the door. He frowned a bit.

"Can't have you watch me while I'm in the shower..." Sasuke thought quick and got an idea. "Let's give you a quick bath and maybe you'll be ready to sleep for a while." He put the plug in the tub and turned the cold water on a bit higher, as he was use to showering in almost completely hot water. Filling the tub up only one quater of the way, he picked up the kit and it squirmed just before it was put in the tub. It relaxed and was about to lay down, deciding not to. Sasuke washed the kit carefuly due to the wounds it still had and then dried it off, it now being sleepy, obvious to the way it kept nodding off in his arms. He smiled and layed the kit on his bed, going to take a quick shower. When he was out, he went to his room and smiled to see the kit asleep on his pillow.

"Now that I think of it, I'm a bit tired." Sasuke said to himself, walking over to the bed and laying down. He stripped himself of the robe, laying in his boxers under the covers. He fell asleep quickly, hand placed gently on the kit.

A/N: Don't mind me. My mind's really going with the new story idea's.
