Chapter 10: Old Friend

The next morning Sasuke got up early, and headed straight for the Hospital to go and check up on Ishiku. Hopefully he will be well enough to leave the hospital today. When Sasuke arrived he headed towards Ishiku's room, when he opened the door Ishiku was sitting in bed reading a book.

"Hey Ishiku, how are you feeling today?" Sasuke asked

"Hey Sasuke, felling a lot better than yesterday, nurse said I might be well enough to leave today" Replied Ishiku, but Ishiku was not interested in that, he wanted to know how his date went last night.

"So Sasuke how was your date last night, by your happy mood and the way your acting it seems it went well?" Ishiku said with an egger expression on his face.

"I don't have to tell you anything you know"

"Yeh I know but its either you tell me or ill resort to blackmailing you"

"Fine, but if you say anything all seriously make your stay here longer"

Sasuke then told Ishiku about the night he had with Sakura, Ishiku making sure he didn't miss any information and trying his best not to crack up laughing, as to him this information is pure gold coming from a person who never used to share any of his feelings.

"And that's pretty much it" Sasuke finished, looking at Ishiku knowing what he was thinking in his mind.

"So Sasuke Uchiha finally has a girlfriend, there must be something wrong with world if this happened" Ishiku joked, but with that comment Sasuke ended up giving Ishiku the death glare.

"And you're the one to talk, last time I checked you don't have a girlfriend either" Sasuke Said

"Point taken"

"Anyway I need to get going; I told Sakura that I'd have lunch with her, if you get out of hospital your welcome to join us at Ichiraku if you want"

"I'll keep that offer in mind"

After that Sasuke left the hospital to catch up with Sakura. After 30 minutes of waiting Ishiku was allowed to leave the hospital whenever he was ready, He left the hospital and decided to take a walk to the park before meeting up with the pair of love birds. He walked through the park stopping at the lake and taking a seat on a nearby bench. He sat there for 10 minutes before he heard someone called his name.

"Ishiku is that you" Ishiku turned around looking for where the voice had come from, to see a girl looking at him.

"Ishiku it is you, it's good to see you again" the girl said looking surprised

"Misaki, I haven't seen you in years, it's nice to see you again as well, what you doing in the village?"

"I moved here and became a hidden leaf ninja six years ago, what about you what are you doing here?"

"Same reason as you, I moved here a few years after you had left"

Several years after Ishiku's parents were killed by Itachi, and he was left by himself. Ishiku tried to find somewhere to stay after being without a shelter and food for several days, when he couldn't find any way to stay the last of his energy faded and he collapsed on the floor thinking this was it for him, as he drifted away and fell unconscious. Misaki who was walking through the forest with her parents came across Ishiku, seeing him the way he was they quickly took him in and looked after him. Misaki has long Lavender hair, with sapphire blue eyes her usual get up is made up of a white and purple jacket with black tracksuit pants, she is the same age as Ishiku. Ishiku spent several years staying with Misaki training and becoming close friends, but one day Misaki had to leave with her parents. Ishiku said he had to leave as well to continue his journey and it was hard for them to say goodbye, but Ishiku promised Misaki that one day they would see each other again, and they both agreed on it.

"Ishiku it looks like we kept that promise after all" Misaki said reminding Ishiku about the promise they made.

"It looks like I did aft..." but Ishiku was cut off when Misaki through her arms around Ishiku embracing him in a hug.

"I'm just glad to see you again, I've missed you ever since you left" Misaki said letting go of Ishiku, blushing at the thought of just hugging him.

"I've missed you to Misaki" Ishiku said who was blushing a small bit.

"I know why don't you come with me to Ichiraku for lunch, I'm supposed to be meeting my friends there, plus we have a bit of catching up to do.

"Sounds fine with me" Misaki said as both of them headed out of the park towards the ramen shop.
