Tsukasa

I stared blankly at this girl who just decided to talk to me. Her name, by what mother said, was stored in my mind forever. She was telling me so much. I enjoyed this. She made me feel safe. Safe from the horrors of my home. I stopped staring at her like a lunatic when I noticed a crept out face. I smiled at her.

"What's your name?" she finally asked.

"T-T-Tsukasa. My name is Tsukasa," I answered.

"Well, Tsukasa, wanna play?"

My face lit up with pure joy. I nodded my head. I never felt so ...happy. I guess I just needed to find that on person who'd change my life. Today is a new day for me. I can do anything for a few hours. Maybe even forever! Mother won't look for me. Yet I need to go back. How strange that I want to go to mother. My eyes began to scan Temari's face who started to grab my hand. She pulled me towards the rest of the kids that were playing in the kids stopped plying to stare at me struggling to brake free. I'm not that big on being around to many people. Temari glanced back at me with a calming stare.

"We can play here. There isn't much where you were. How about the slide?" she pointed at a blue thing that kids slid down on.

I began to swallow my fear. I nodded trying not to give off as scared.

"Or,"Temari stopped," do you want to spar?"

"Spar? Like fight?" I asked, scarred out of my mind.

She laughed,"Duh! If you're gonna hang around me I need to know if you van protect yourself. I don't wanna be a babysitter."

"But I don't know how to fight," I informed.

"Just punch, kick and block. Not everyone knows Justus at our age."

"It was an accident!" I shouted at Temari.

We starred at a destroyed park. Dust filled the air. The swing was smashed into a flat saucer along with the slide and other playthings. No one was hurt. They had ran when me and Temari started. Temari was on the ground rolling around laughing.

"How'd you do that? I thought you didn't know how to fight let alone a jutsu," she laughed for no apparent reason.

I shrugged my shoulders,"I don't know how."

"Well I got to go home for lunch. Bye Tsukasa. Don't forget me! You're my friend so I'll take the blame!" she waved and ran off.

I waved back. I knew she couldn't see me now but I waved anyway. Friend? Do friendships begin that fast? I have a friend now! I made my way down the street I had come from. It was even more busier than earlier. People herded into restaurants trying to get a bit to eat. The smells were in my nose and made me drool. I'd love to have a warm meal now. My mouth filled with saliva. I began to dash past the stands. Clearing my mind from the idea of eating. MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm.

I remembered the building I jumped down from. I climbed the building and hopped on about four rooftops. Home. Should I stay up here or go down there? I caved in and forced myself in the house. Somethings off. Besides the knocked down boards it was different. My bed was gone. There was a faint light shining up the stares. I curiously stepped to the top of the steps. The door...was open! Should I be scared? Nah! There was no noise downstairs. Mother must have fallen asleep. Great it's my chance to steal some food from the fridge down stairs. I crept down the creaky stairs. Without a second thought I pushed the door open and continued to walk. The hallway was lit poorly. Lightbulbs ready to burn out. I turned my head to see what dangled on the walls. Pale flower pictures hung slightly crooked. A random corner appear. Where did that come from? Did I go the wrong way? Was I ending straight to where mother was? My mind forced me to walk.

Walk! Walk now! Think of the food you'll find. My mind ordered to me.

I listened to the voice in my head. My mind was the master and I was the puppet. I turned the corner to a horrible sight. My eyes watered. My throat tightened. My legs quacked.

*ENTER TROLL FACE*

Haha! THE SUSPENSE WILL EAT AT YOUR SOUL. MAKE A GUESS AT WHAT SHE SAW. MAYBE YOU'LL BE RIGHT...OR MAYBE NOT. TROLOLOLOLOL
