The Mouse and The Lion

One a hot, sunny day in the safari jungle, a young lion was lying down on the floor, he was hungry, he hadn't eaten in 1 week, he couldn't get any food on his own since his energy was very low and the worst part is that his whole pack weren't with him, humans had killed them, so the young lion had no energy and didn't have his pack with him, so he couldn't get any food and he was alone, he hated being alone, he wished he was with his pack, he started crying, he didn't realize that there was a young mouse behind the bushes that was watching the whole scene, she couldn't help but feel sorry, other mice always say to stay away from lions, they were a dangerous predator that would eat innocent animals, but the young mouse wasn't with the other mice, so started she felt to guilty as she watched the lion cry, by the looks of it, the lion wasn't going to be able to last much longer if he didn't get any food to eat. The mouse could tell that the lion had not eaten in a week, which is not good for him , she started to think that maybe….but, no she has her friends and her family, but…..she just couldn't see anyone else suffer without feeling guilty, so she stood there, unsure and confused, then she decided…yes. She took her first step and, without hesitation, she got out of the bushes. The lion ,who was still crying, heard a strange noise coming from the bushes, he looked to see that it was the mouse. He saw as the mouse slowly got closes to him and closer to his mouth.

"Please, I know that you are going to die, so please eat me, so that way you could still live!"

He was shocked, usually preys just stay away or hide from him, since they knew he would eat them, but when this mouse wanted him to eat her and he was very surprised.

"But, that means you would die!" the lion said with concern.

"Please, don't worry about me! You are going to die! Worry about yourself, so go ahead eat me!" the mouse said

The lion's stomach grumbled, he looked at down at it, then he back at the mouse, who an innocent look on her face.

"Very well." The lion said in a very hushed tone, but the mouse still heard.

The mouse just gulped and closed her eyes and waited for the lion to swallow her down.

"I'm sorry… goodbye" the mouse whispered very quietly, not even the lion heard.

The lion opened his mouth to show his full, sharp teeth and hesitantly got closer to the mouse. He closed his eyes and imagined something else. His pack, his mother, his father. He then opened his eyes to see…..nothing. Just blood. He ate her. Even though he loved the taste he still felt guilt inside. He cried once again.

"I'm very sorry!" he yelled and sat there staring at the bloody ground.

A few days later the lion died as well, but when he got to heaven he was happy…..the mouse was there. They soon became friends.

The End.

She stood there, shocked, she could not believe what she had just heard.

"Naruto, that could not be true! Besides, how would you know?" she asked, in hopes of him responding " Just kidding Sakura-chan! I really got you there!" and she would hit him just call him an idiot like always.

Naruto sighed, and looked down at the ground, not looking into, his precious Sakura-chan's, beautiful, emerald eyes. When he first found out about it, he couldn't believe it either, but he wasn't supposed to find out, he discovered himself, not only discovered, but also witnessed it. He sighed once more.

"I'm sorry Sakura-chan, but I saw it, he was with another women, and…they…were in bed….together." He didn't want to say that he saw them having sex or more like walked on them having sex, but he just couldn't bring himself saying that to Sakura-chan.

He knew that she still had feelings for him, even after he left the village, she asked Naruto to find him, they even promised. When they back from their failed mission to retrieve him, she immediately locked herself inside her apartment and didn't come out for two days. It took a lot to convince her to come out. Whenever men had asked her to go out with them, she always denied them….because she still loved him. When he came to the village, even though she couldn't get herself to talk to him, she cried tears of joy. Only Naruto witnessed that. Even though Sakura-chan never got the chance to talk to him, he knew she still loved him dearly, she always have, and she always will.

So when he saw Sasuke sleeping with another women, he knew he had to tell Sakura-chan. She had to find out the truth sooner or later. And when he saw her expression, he knew he wouldn't be surprised. She loved Sasuke. So of course it tore her heart.

"M-maybe….i-it was someone else that you m-mistook as Sasuke! Maybe it was-" she's in denial which means she doesn't want to believe it. Not only that, but she's also stuttering, which means she's trying to hold back tears. He hates it whenever he causes tears. It was his fault. He did tell her.

"Sakura-chan, I'm sorry, but…..Sasuke also told me himself, he said he's been doing for a while…and it's not only just one…..he's been..going around.." he tried his best trying to explaining it to her. Trying not to say something stupid like "Hey Sakura-chan! Guess what Sasuke-teme's been doing ever since he came back? Having sex with a LOT of women!" that would defiantly cause tears.

Then, he saw it, a tear. It fell from her chin. Her bangs were hiding her face, so he couldn't see her glossy eyes, but even if they were glossy, they were still beautiful eyes. To him they were and he was sure he wasn't the only one who thought so.

She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it no more. She loved him. She even admitted it on the night he left, she even screamed it. Did he forget? How could he forget? She admitted her love forhim and he just…forgot? 'That Bastard!' she screamed in her head. Now, she wanted to scream, she wanted to cry, she wanted to go over to his house and hit the living shit out of him and tell him that he's being a selfish bastard who doesn't care about others. But, she didn't want to cause a scene. They were in the middle of the hallway in the hospital (that she's working in) and she could feel peoples stare as they walk by Naruto and her.

She felt arms wrap around her and looked up to see Naruto. He was comforting her. Like always. Right now she was really lucky to have him as a friend.

"Sakura-chan, I think it's best if you could stay from Sasuke-teme for a while." He suggested. She had to agree. Seeing Sasuke will only cause a problem. They both knew it. She released from his embrace and wiped away her tears with her hand. She stared into Naruto ocean blue eyes and nodded.

"I agree with you, Naruto."
