A/N: Well... It's something that came into my head while I was watching TV... I thought that it'll be good for a story. It's a short one-shot. And it has a short poem-lullaby inside - mine... Anyway... Enjoy.
Important (but not so very....): As usual: I'm not very good in writing in English, but I hope you will understand my story. If I made any mistakes please don't blame me too much. Please review, I would be very happy even if it would be an abuse.
Warning: Hmm... Bad spelling and... I'm not sure if something more.... Just to be sure.... PG-13 (I suck at this 'rating' thing...)
Disclaimer Now I'm really starting to hate this thing... Well... I don't own Naruto.But I own a poem-lullaby

"Naruto no niichan!" I turn my head and see Konohamaru, not that it's a surprise.... "You promised that you'll teach me some cool move!" I cringed. I totally forgot about it...
"I'm sorry Konohamaru, but I can't do it now." I smiled sheepishly and scratched back of my head. He frowned and looked at me.
"Why????" He whined. I smiled and patted his head.
"Today I have my test for an ANBU captain, you forgot?" He blushed a little and murmured apology. I smiled and ruffed his hair "Well, don't worry about it chibi. I'll do it later." I said turning away and waving my hand to him "See you later kiddo." I knew it'll make him angry...
"I'm not a kid, you know?! My mom stopped singing me lullaby long time ago!!!" Those word made my heart sting painfully and quickly I disappeared in cloud of smoke to the place where the exam take place. I looked at the direction where the kid was and I sadly smiled.
This kid... He's so lucky... he doesn't even now, but still... He's lucky to have someone sing him a lullaby... I remember that when I was small, no one was there to sing me a lullaby, even the shortest one... Hell, at first I didn't even know what is a lullaby...
I remember that long time ago, when I was outside my house after one of those 'caretakers' of mine threw me out from my house -literally- and I had no place to go but streets... It was then that I overhead few kids arguing about whose mom sings the best lullaby. I was curious about it and stepped out of the shadows and I asked what is this lullaby thing. They looked at me and started laughing. I didn't understand it then, so I ran away.
Later at night I was still wandering through Konoha and I stopped under a big house and open window. I heard some voices and I carefully looked inside. There was a little kid about my age with spiky dark hair in bed and a women sitting on the chair. I was wondering what were they doing until I heard boy calling 'Mommy I wanna a lullaby!' That made me cautious and I looked more attentively. The woman smiled softly and started sing. I didn't heard the words, but the tone made my heart ache and throb. And I ran away. Again.
Then I knew what a lullaby was and it hurt me so much, because I knew that I'll have no one to sing it to me. One year later I made my own lullaby. And now sleep, A short one. now sleep Always when I wanted to cry And forget about it. I sang it What you've seen, and it helped me a little bit what you've heard, and lulled me into sleep... what you've survived
I sang it when I was sad, And... And pretend that, angry, that it's a dream, miserable... that it never happened When I felt that my happy attitude slip... So will be better And when I wanted to give myself a courage...And now sleep, now sleep...
Heh, I still do so.
I hope... I really hope that... Someday I'll sing it to my kids...
And now sleep, now sleep
And forget about it.
What you've seen, what you've heard, what you've survived
And... And pretend that, that it's a dream, that it never happened
So will be better
And now sleep, now sleep...
