Apart Of Me

Chapter 6

Kyosuke was wide awake all through that stormy night. Trying to make his mother wake up and show him that she was still alive, calling her name, shaking her. But all efforts failed. Everything that he did, did nothing; her once warm skin grew colder and colder with each passing hour.

By dawn, Kyosuke had slowly wandered away from her body, always looking back, excepting to see her stand up and smile. He just followed where ever his feet took him. Not really caring what he was doing.

Tears kept falling from his eyes, by the time he was on a road he stopped looking back, he looked to the ground and watched as his shadow moved with him, by the time he first looked up his shadow had made it around in a circle twice. He had been walking for two days strait.

I then started to dawn on him that he was alone for the first time in his life. His mother was really gone.

--X--

It was well into his third day of wandering, the road had led to another forest and right now he was too afraid of the forest, so he traveled on a side road that went around the forest.

People where on the road walking with carts and other things. Kyosuke bumped into things and fell over, the people would tell him to watch where he was going but he didn't care. Few more hours passed and he was now in a small town, one made of all stone. He walked in a daze, nothing really getting to him, not even his now hungry stomach.

"hey!" Kyosuke walked into a man caring fish in a sack, his weight made him fall over and look up. "What's wrong kid?" his old raspy voice asked.

At those words Kyosuke started to cry, Kyosuke looked into the man's old grey eyes and started to whimper. The old man sighed and placed the sack on the ground and hooked his hands under Kyosuke's arms and lifted him up, and sat him down on a anchor wall of a house's garden. He then took out a handkerchief and started to wipe his tears away, it was then that he notices that Kyosuke had the faintest traces of blond on his face and neck.

"Hey," Kyosuke bent his head down and kept crying; "hey?" he placed his giant hands on Kyosuke's shoulders and smiled. "What's wrong you aren't hurt?" Kyosuke looked up and shook his head, and kept whimpering, the man had a kind smile, but he just kept crying.

"Its all her fault." he finally said as he started to stop. "its all her fault, she should of know better." he cried.

"all who's fault?" he asked as Kyosuke's face started to dry up.

"Momma." He cried.

"Oh," the man realized that this little boy was all alone in this world, his mother was dead, and this child was really alone.

"It's all mommas' fault."

"I see, I see." he wiped his tears away and made Kyosuke look into his eyes, "now will you listen to me?"

"Yes sir."

"You may think that you mother is gone, and that it's her fault, but," Kyosuke looked down so he made him look back up, "it is nobody's fault for her being gone. The world is still moving, you can never be apart from her, as long as you remember all the things that she's taught you; that way you'll always be apart of each other." He said.

"Okay." Kyosuke said sniffling.

"What's you name son?"

"Kyosuke." then man then picked him up and took Kyosuke to his house, his wife made Kyosuke a hot meal, but he didn't even touch it, he just sat at the table starring down at the food like he's never seen any before. They gave him a place to sleep. He didn't sleep though, he listened to them debating wither to keep him, or find a place or the place that he came from.

But the next mourning, Kyosuke was gone. He walked down the road again heading in an unknown direction. He was actually following what his mother had told him and followed his heart, it must of know where Konohagakure.

He walked another day strait, ignoring how hungry he was, or how thirst he was, a little voice in his head told him to keep walking. Walking alone after being through what he's gone threw is hard. Most people would rather walk alone because it can be refreshing, or faster. But Kyosuke didn't think so. He felt so cold; never in his life did he think his mother would leave him like this.

'I didn't want her to die,' Kyosuke felt his legs give way and he fell to the path floor. He closed his eyes and curled into a little ball, 'I wanted her to stay with me.'

'I miss her so much,' he closed his eyes and felt as if his body was drifting in the air, 'I want to be with her.' he then drifted off to sleep, dreaming about his mother.

Dream:

Kyosuke sat up in hi bed, screaming. He looked to the window and saw lightning fill the sky, thunder following soon after. He wrapped the blanket around his four year old body, creating a nice and warm cocoon around him.

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine

He closed his eyes and started to cry. More thunder crackled and whimpers escaped his mouth as he berried his head in the covers, this was a very loud this night. He never really liked thunder storms, he liked the rain, but thunder was a different thing.

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine

Kyosuke looked up as he saw his mother enter his room, a simple smile on her face as she made her way to his bed and sat next to him. She patted his head and started to hum a lullaby to calm him down.


If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you

"Did the storm scare you? You wet your pants didn't you?" Kyosuke nodded as she started to unwrap the sheets off of him. She then gently lifted him off of his bed and placed him on the floor.

From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine

Sakura went to his closet and brought out a pair of fresh pajamas. She then kneeled in front of him and began to change him. Kyosuke stood there wiping his tears away as he watched his mother smile as she buttoned his top. And when she was done, she took him into her room, and held him in her rams until he fell asleep. He could feel her place light kisses on his forehead, and run her hands threw his hair, she truly loved him.


End of Dream

Kyosuke started to wake as he felt something warm hit his skin, he didn't remember being anywhere it was warm. Where was he, and didn't he fall asleep on his stomach? When he first opened his eyes all he saw were orange lights. As his vision got better he could see that it was a fire.

"Welcome back kid!" a big head of yellow filled his vision, and Kyosuke looked into big blue eyes.

Kyosuke blinked then he saw an adult pull the mess of blond and blue eyes away from him. Kyosuke sat fully up and saw that he was in a camp sight, there where two adult men with him. Ninja by the way they were dressed. He started to look around, wondering how he got there.

"We found you passed out on a path way." The man with dark hair said. Kyosuke looked up into onyx eyes and felt himself shutter. "Naruto, here didn't want to leave you." he said gesturing to the blond mess.

"Sasuke-teme does that mean you didn't care if we left him?" Naruto shouted.

"Naruto?" Kyosuke asked, more to himself than to the man named Naruto, "that's a really stupid name; it's a really bad tasting topping on ramen, who would name their kid that?" a small chuckle escaped Sasuke's mouth.

"Teme," Naruto turned to Sasuke, "are you laughing? That's a first." Naruto pointed to his companion and smiled. it was then that Kyosuke noticed the symbols on their headbands; they where leaf shinobi, form the same village as his mother.

Sasuke and Naruto started to argue a little, leaving Kyosuke to think about what was going to happen. They where from the same village as the one he was trying to get to, the one his mother told him to go to. But they might be on a mission, or not want a little kid following them if they where going back to their village.

"So," the Naruto man squatted in front of him, which was when Kyosuke got a good look at him, there where three scar like lines on both sides of his face. His skin was a darker color than his own, and wearing a green shinobi vest over a standard shinobi outfit, but instead of blue or a light purple the color of his pants and shirt was this orange and black color. "Where you from kid, we could take you home if you want?"

"Kirigakure," he said naturally, "but I-" Naruto cut him off and stood to talk to Sasuke.

"That's quite far from here, only four hundred miles, could take a few days even if we run." Sasuke said.

"Taking him home might be a problem." Naruto said looking back down at the kid, he could tell this child was a student form his village, because he was raising his hand, waiting to say something.

"Go ahead." Sasuke said looking down.

"I live in Kirigakure, but I was born in Konohagakure, my Momma and I where traveling there." he said.

"Okay, but where is your mother, you said you where traveling together? You two get separated?" Naruto asked.

Kyosuke looked down and pulled his knees to his chest and tried not to cry in front of these complete strangers. He replayed the incident in his mind then looked dup, his eyes becoming watery. Both men then looked down at him.

"We where traveling, and a group of ex-shinobi attacked us, and momma, she died after she saved me." He closed his eyes and thought about her smile. Naruto patted his head and Sasuke leaned against a tree.

"What's your name buddy?"

"My, name?" he looked up in Naruto's kind face, "its Kyosuke." He smiled. Then for some strange reason, Sasuke gasped.
