Chapter 10: Kitten Up A Tree

As the months go by and Sasuke becomes cold…Sakura is happy to find that the boy that she calls her bestest friend still likes kittens as much as she does.

I walked home alone today, my eyes watching my feet as I walked slowly.

Four months.

It had been four months since the day that I lost my second family, the Uchiha family. Four months since my 'Kitty' murdered them all.

Four months since Sasuke started to change.

At first, daddy had told me that it was just him mourning the loss of his loved ones, and that I should just give him some time to recover from such a tragic loss. But, he just won't talk to me anymore.

I remember, at the hospital, he seemed so sad, but he still wanted to see me.

We even kissed!

But now, now my Sasuke-kun doesn't like me anymore. I don't think he wants to be my bestest bester best friend anymore.

I have been keeping it a secret, but, everyday when I walk home from school, I walk pass the Uchiha compound, just to hopefully see him.

Daddy told me that he had moved into an apartment somewhere in the village, but maybe just maybe, he would be here.

I stared at the closed gates, they had bright red tape that said 'RESTRICTED' on them, and I feel sad. Because behind those gates is the home that I once called mine. The home that had a mom, a dad, a best friend, and a brother.

That home, I know it's gone but I still wish on every star that I saw that it would just come back. So then maybe my Sasu-kun would come back to me.

I have seen him at school, I even tried to talk to him, but he just ignores me. I said 'hi' to him once, and tired to give him a hug. But he just walked away and acted if I was not even there.

That day I went home and cried until I fell asleep.

Meow!

What was that?

Meow! Meow!

It…sounds like a kitten!

"Here kitty, kitty."

I walked to where the cute little 'meows' were coming from, but, it lead me to a tree. I heard the kitten meow again, and I looked up.

MEOW!

Oh no! The little kitten is stuck up in the tree! Such a cute kitten and its stuck!

I was about to climb up the tall tree and save the little black kitten, but I remembered that I couldn't climb trees!

Sasuke-kun had always climbed tree for me, I had always been so afraid that I would fall. But, I just have to save this little kitty!

I looked up at the little kitten, my eyes shining with determination. Setting my school bag on the ground, I reluctantly grabbed the tree.

I started my way up the tree; using the skills that Iruka-sensei had been teaching us. I was about halfway up when…my fear got the best of me.

I stood there, tears welling up in my eyes; I let on fall, then another and another. I looked up at the poor little kitty, it was meowing again.

I felt so very helpless and stupid.

I tried to move a bit, but I looked down at the ground and got scared, I am so very high up!

The kitten meowed again, and I kept on crying from my spot. Then, I felt some pressure on my foot.

I blinked, and then looked back down, it was my Sasuke-kun!

He was pushing me up, and with his help, I could save the kitty!

After he pushed me up to a branch, I pushed my hand down and helped pull him up so that he sat down beside me.

When were both done, we were both breathing heavily. I still had a few tears falling down my face, I felt weak. I had to have help just to save a little kitten!

Turning away from him, I cried some more, everything was just so very sad.

I heard the kitten jump down, landing somewhere on the ground. Watching it walk away, I felt completely stupid for even attempting something that I knew I could not do.

"Stop crying, it won't do a thing." The first thing that he had said to me.

I sniffled, and looked away from him. How could he have changed so much in those short four months?

I looked down at the ground, thinking about jumping down and running home…when a white piece of cloth was shoved in front of my face.

I looked over to Sasuke, he was staring me right in the eye, but, his eyes seemed to blank. I grabbed the cloth, wiping my eyes and blowing my nose I noticed that it had the Uchiha clan symbol on it.

I was about to give it back to him, but he told me to keep it.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

He looked away from me, I felt so very much alone now. I could see that he was about to jump off, but…I had to talk to him, I had missed my Sasu-kun so much.

"Why did you come here, Sasu-kun?" I saw him flinch when I called him that, why?

He was quiet for a minute, and I thought that maybe he would just leave me. I was about to just jump down and run home when he said, "I heard the kitten meowing and came to investigate."

I looked over at him, he was staring straight forward, a scowl on his face that I had so desperately missed. A part of me, the strange voice in my mind that spoke to me a lot told me that I may not see him for a while and that I should just make the best of the time that I have with him now.

"Sasu-Kun?" I whispered, hoping that he would look at me.

He did, from the corner of his eye he looked at me. I felt a strong ping of pain hit my heart and I did not know why, but I felt the sensation of both glee and the need to cry.

But, for a second all thought had escaped me, and I did the only thing that came to my mind.

I leaned forward, and closing my eyes…I kissed his cheek.

I felt him tense, but I just kissed him.

After a few seconds I felt his hand on my back, I pulled away from him, hoping not to have angered him and looked away from him.

But, I felt him pick me up, and, with little difficultly jumped down to the ground and set me down.

I looked up at him from me sitting position; his eyes were covered by his bangs.

"Be careful, I may not always be there to save you." That was all that he said before he ran off, leaving me alone once again.

After picking up my bag and walking home, I saw the little kitten run down the street and a sweet though crossed my mind,

At least Sasu-kun still loves kittens as much as me!

Well, I hope that you all liked this one! I wanted to show the difference in attitudes between Sasuke before the massacre and the Sasuke after.

I hope that it came out well, and once again thank you all that have reviewed!

I LOVE YOU ALL!
