Kyuubi

"I don't know."

That was all that Sasuke's new friend answered to his intriguing questions. It's weird— a boy without a family, who doesn't know where he came from, who doesn't know why he can't be seen by people.

"As far as I could remember, I've been up in this hill since, well, I don't know. I just want people to notice me up here. But I guess that didn't work. And if you're going to ask me why I won't go down to the streets, it's because I can't. It's like I'm trapped in this place and I just can't leave little Kyuubi alone. He's my only friend, well, before you came."

Kyuubi? He had a friend after all. But still…It just felt strange. This boy over here… What did he mean by 'trapped'? By hearing his story, he really was lonely.

The two of them were seating under the big oak tree, with its branches stretching up in the broad blue sky and its green leaves dancing in the rhythm of the wind. A small swing was tied at one of its big branches.

A small growl was heard. The boy didn't tell Sasuke that there's some kind of vicious animal there. They heard another growl. Sasuke looked at his friend. It seemed that he's not afraid at all. Instead, the boy stood and grinned, "Kyuubi!"

Kyuubi was cute, adorable, and lovable. It was irresistible. It had reddish brown fur and big yellow eyes. But what made it unusual like the boy was that this little fox has nine tails, each flaming with a small fire at its tip. It seemed that they never burn the boy even if he holds Kyuubi very close.

"Kyuubi's such an awesome fox! He can grant me 3 wishes! Whenever I make a wish, 3 of his tails would lose their fire."

Ok, this was too much for poor Sasuke. First, he could see this 'invisible' boy and then this wish-granting fox with nine tails. Was he going crazy? He could go back home and pretended none of this ever happened.

And just as he was going to stand, 3 of Kyuubi's tails lost their flames. "What did you wish for?" he forced himself to ask.

The boy looked up, his eyes having a rich shade of blue, and said in a low, caring voice, "I wished for a friend."

With this, fear had left Sasuke and he stayed with him until supper.

"You'll come back tomorrow, right?"

"Y…Yes, I promise."
