Chapter 4

Uchiha Sasuke (mini version) strolled through the streets of Konoha kicking a stone in front of him as he did. Being the smart person he was, he had already removed his forehead protector to avoid unnecessary questions. He continued to wander the streets of Konoha until he reached the park and climbed up onto the bench. Literally climbed.

He had forgotten how pathetically short he had been in his younger years.

His shortness aside, he just sat there and thought about his past. About his childhood. About what the hell he was missing so he could achieve whatever it was and turn back into his normal self. Sasuke leaned back and studied the canopy of leaves above him, the sun barely making it through them to shine on his face.

But it wasn't like he didn't know. "What I was missing as a child." He muttered, staring at the sky. "Well that's obvious. A loving, stable family." He sighed and glanced around the park. Up one side of the cement path, he could see a group of children-real children, not grown people turned into children from the messed up potion- playing around and a tall, slender woman in her early twenties with long brown hair and gentle green eyes walking towards him with her arms laden with groceries. Sasuke turned away when he saw the eyes.

The woman's eyes looked like Sakura's eyes.

He didn't know when, exactly, he had started to see Sakura in that light. Certainly not when they were children, the girl had been too immature and annoying at that point. But, to be sure, she had matured when he was in Sound. However, when he had come back, Tsunade had been ready to throw his butt into Konoha Prison for becoming a missing ninja but Sakura had asked the Lady Hokage for clemency on his behalf and Tsunade, impressed by Sakura's eloquence had let him off with about a million hours of community service.

But what had (finally) attracted him to her, and had caused him to notice how much she had really changed was when she didn't ask him for anything after saving him from prison. The old Sakura would've begged for a date…or something. She…didn't.

And that was when he had noticed her. He just hadn't told her yet.

"Hey…little boy…do your parents know where you are?" asked a concerned voice of the female variety. Sasuke looked up, startled, into the green eyes of the woman, who was holding the groceries. "Do they know where you are?"

Sasuke could only stare dumbly at the woman. Finally, when he came to his senses, he shot the woman his patented glare. It, however, failed because of the fact that he was simply too cute as a chibi to send any death glares.

"My parents are dead," said the Uchiha emotionlessly. "Oh!" cried out the woman as she set some of the parcels she held on the ground and wrapped her slender arms around the little miniature Sasuke. "You poor thing," she said softly as she rocked the little boy. Sasuke hadn't been embraced like this for a long time-by someone and as she continued to rock the little boy, Sasuke felt his eyes fill with tears.

He hadn't cried since the day his parents had been killed. As his onyx eyes filled with tears and little shining drops that sparkled like crystal in the noonday sun, he realized that, since he was a child, his emotions were more volatile because he hadn't had the control that time had given him. He tried to hold back but when the woman felt him struggling to control his emotions, she rubbed his back and whispered, "It's okay." With that, he leaned into her, wrapped her arms around the kind woman…

And sobbed.

After his tears had finally abated, the woman pulled back which allowed Sasuke to rub his eyes fiercely. "My name is Kayko. What's your name?" she asked softly. He acutely remembered Sakura's warning to not give out his real name because everyone knew about the Uchiha clan and as such, said, "My name is Kyo."

"Do you have anyone waiting for you at home Kyo-Chan?" she asked. Sasuke/Kyo shook his head and spoke the truth. "My brother left after my parent's died. I've been alone since then."

Kayko started to gather her parcels up and stood. "Well, if you'd like, my husband and I have no children and you could stay with us for awhile," She said softly. Sasuke looked up at her with his big, child like black eyes and then looked back down. "I'd just be a bother."

"No you wouldn't!" said Kayko firmly. Sasuke continued to look down, refusing to meet the kind woman's eyes. "Well, Kyo-Chan, if you change your mind," Sasuke looked up. "My house is just down this path." She juggled her parcels and pointed. "You can come by anytime." Sasuke nodded and gave the woman a broken smile, broken from having been unused for so long. "Thank you Kayko-San," he said softly.

As the brown haired woman walked off, Sasuke rested his forehead on his palm and clenched a fistful of his hair. He thought what he had been missing, when he had been doing it at least, had been crying over his fallen parents. However, now that he had…and he hadn't turned back, he had realized that what it had been was something more.

"Sasuke," called Sakura quietly. He looked up as she came up from behind him and clambered onto the bench.

"Yes Sakura?" he asked the pink haired girl. Sakura looked at him with her wide, green, childlike eyes and started to speak.

"I know that, as an Uchiha you're proud…so why did you let her hug you?"

"I didn't let her," he explained stoically. "She just came up and hugged me after I told her that my parents were dead when she asked if they knew where I was."

"Well…Sasuke…" Sakura swung her legs back and forth off the edge of the bench as she spoke. "Have you been thinking about what you're missing?" she asked carefully.

"Of course I have," snapped Sasuke, running his fingers through his hair. "But how do you get a family?"

"I heard Kayko-San's offer. She and her husband could do that…provide a family type environment that is. Why don't you take her up on her offer? Spend some time with her and her husband and maybe you'll get back the family that you missed as a child."

Sasuke looked at her, as if not hearing what she had just said. "You want me to go into a strangers house and act as their child?" asked the Uchiha indignantly. His pride wouldn't entertain the thought.

"Sasuke." "Hn." "Do you want to be a chibi for the rest of your life? Because if you do, by all means turn down Kayko's offer," she snapped.

Sasuke glared at her and stood up. "You're annoying," he said softly. 'Annoying but I wouldn't have you any other way' he thought, smirking internally. For he now knew that, without her subtle form of encouragement, he would've never considered Kayko's offer for a split second.

Sakura focused her emerald gaze on the ground as Sasuke started to walk away, but she had a smile on her face. She looked up suddenly as his footsteps started to grow softer. "Where are you going?"

He paused and looked back. "Kayko told me that her house was this way." Sakura split into a smile. "Have fun Sasuke."

A knock was heard at the door. Kayko, in the process of putting the groceries away, stopped and walked down the hall with a small smile on her face. She opened the door to Kyo looking up at her with his wide onyx eyes. "Do you want to come in Kyo-Chan?" asked the black haired woman gently. Sasuke nodded and Kayko took her hand and brought him into the house.

Sakura had tailed Sasuke and watched as the kind looking lady took the hand of her long-standing crush and took him into her house. "Have fun Sasuke," she whispered as she turned around to go meet back up with Ino.

A/N-HAHA! I'll bet you guys that when this chapter opened up with Sasuke, you thought he'd be changing back ne? NO SUCH LUCK!
