Apart Of Me

Chapter 7

"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.

Naruto and Kyosuke looked at Sasuke at they herd him gaps. The man with rave hair looked to the side, an obvious surprised expression on his face, but he wouldn't let them see it.

"Sasuke-san, are you okay?" Kyosuke asked as he faced the older man, Sasuke noticed the honor suffix added to his name.

"Hn." he answered, as he stood up and began to walk away, in mid-step he stopped, "that's a nice name, it means star gazer if I'm correct." he said surprising Naruto; he then walked away from the camp.

"Wow, you'd better thanks your lucky stars, Sasuke never gives complements!" Naruto said as he patted Kyosuke's back. "Wow," he said scratching his arm then it hit him like a ton of bricks, "your name is Kyosuke, with the kanji 'star' right?" Kyosuke then nodded; as he rubbed his tied eyes. "Now that's why he was nice to you!" He said as he sadly smiled.

"You see," Kyosuke watched as Naruto looked into the fires light, "your name brings back memories that he wants to be kept silent. A long time ago, when we where teenagers, he and his; well you can't call her his girlfriend, but his friend, well they were going to have a baby together. When the baby came Sasuke would try to see son, and she would get so mad at him. They would always argue about him. One day she used a mission to run away with the baby boy, and we haven't seen him since his first birthday." Kyosuke watched as Naruto threw a leaf into the fire.

"Its sad I know, but Sasuke really wanted to make her happy, so they could raise their son together, but she wouldn't listen. I feel so bad to say this, but if Sasuke and I where to pass his son on the street we wouldn't know who he was, we don't even know what he looks like now."

"What was his son's name?" Kyosuke asked as he wiped his nose on his sleeve.

"The same as you have; Kyosuke with the star kanji." Naruto replied.

"So you wouldn't even know it was his son even if you saw him?" Kyosuke asked as he leaned onto Naruto's knee, felling too tired to stay seated.

"Yes, last I checked he and the mother where not in a speaking relationship, if they were he would never tell me." He smiled and he patted Kyosuke's head.

"The mother was so beautiful and wise, our teammate and best friend. I think Sasuke even proposed to her a few times." Naruto said as Kyosuke started to fall asleep.

"So does that mean he loved her?" He yawned,

.

"When she left he said it to me, he really did love her, not because of their child, but because of her." Naruto smiled.

"He lost his son and the woman he loved," His eyes closed, "he must be lonely." He said as he fell asleep.

--X--

Sasuke stopped walking threw the woods as he reached a raised rigid area of the forest, he looked out into the forest and his eyes followed the outline of the trees until it reached the sky, where millions of stars where shining their best that night.

That boy, his name, made him remember what he didn't want to remember. His own son, his Kyosuke, and his "friend". He remembered how he had hurt her; he just wanted to be with her for their son. He just wanted to be the father he never had. A father that would see his son and acknowledge everything he did.

And when he tried to be like that, she would always retaliate and shout, causing them to fight. Ending up in the fight that made her want to run away from the village and keep their son far away from Sasuke.

He always regretted that fight, he was mad, and so was she, they spent a total of three days fighting. He remembered every word that he said to her, and he wished that he could turn back the clock; and tape his mouth shut. Maybe everything would have been some what all right between them. But of course life isn't all the pleasant and you don't come out unsacred.

Sasuke spent seven years coming up with all the apologies he wanted to say to her. He wanted to take back all he did, all he threatened. He wanted her back, in the village, with their son; even if they weren't together he wanted them to be a family.

He wanted her to forgive him, like she always did, with one breathtaking smile. He wanted to make her happy and his son happy, and that is something "Uchihas" shouldn't want.

Throughout the history of the shinobi, al the Uchiha parents where either overprotective of their children because they where worthless, or they wouldn't acknowledge them at all. All parents would be detached from their children, knowing that they would be shipped off to war and never come back.

When the mothers would be detached, all they did was bring them into the world, his mother was like that to Itachi, she gave her first born to the wolves at a young age, she was just a poster mother.

She was really rejecting her son, only acting like she cared because she was the leader's wife, and had to be an example for all Uchiha mothers. Only with Sasuke was she overprotective, because she knew he would be found unworthy, and useless.

Sasuke was taken out of his thoughts as an owl hooted and then flew off. Sasuke looked up at the stars again, and then reached into the back pocket of his pants. He pulled out an old folded photograph, one that was the most precious thing to him, not even his name meant as much to him as this little photo.

The room was a green hospital room, a single bed was the biggest thing, but want was in the bed was what Sasuke cheeriest. In the bed, covered in sheets was a pink haired woman, looking so tired, lightly holding a baby in her arms. This baby was asleep, but his head was fully covered in black hair. It was his child.

"Sakura, Kyosuke." was all he said as he spent more and more time expecting the woman and the child all the time he was out there. When ever he was looking at this photo, you could walk up to him and ask him for his shirt and he would give it to you, because he would be entranced.

When Sasuke returned to the camp the fire was out and Kyosuke was sound asleep in Naruto's lap. His soft snoring was the only noise for miles in that wood. Naruto was running his figures threw the bangs that framed his small forehead.

"He told me what happened to his mother; she saved his life at the cost of her own. I'm sure that if we'd met her we would have been friends." he smiled.

"We can't keep him, so don't get attached." Sasuke snapped as he sat down next to his stuff, "he's an orphan of another village; we need to send him back."

"But he's originally from our village, we can take him with us, stop being so, so, so….you!" he shouted, Sasuke looked away.

"Shut up Dumb Ass, if you haven't noticed yet, I'm no exactly Mr. Smiles. I understand the position he is in. But the fact is and will remain: he's not my problem."

--X--

Kyosuke's eyes slowly opened, he expected to be in his room, wrapped in his blue sheets, and the soft green color of his walls. The smell of breakfast would invade his nose, and the sounds of his mother, Sakura, singing in the kitchen of heir traditional house.

But when he looked around, he did not see any of the things he wished, none of it was there, not smell of breakfast. All he saw was forest.

'Momma, you're really gone.' he noticed his head was in Naruto's lap, his mother was really dead.

"momma." he mumbled as he sat up and looked around, Naruto was there, where was Sasuke? He stood, as he urge to run appeared in his mind. Even though Naruto and Sasuke has said right in front of him they would take him to Konohagakure, well Naruto said it, he still wasn't thinking strait, the trauma of seeing his mother die right in front of him was still fresh in his mind.

Kyosuke steadily walked out of the camp and started to walk out. It was cool out, turning warm; dawn was a few hours away. "You running away?" a voice asks, startling the poor boy. He jumped up and into a fighting stance, "calm down Kyosuke." it was Sasuke; leaning against a tree, arms crossed, looking down at him, he looked like a giant compared to Kyosuke.

"Mr. Sasuke?" he asked, easing up a bit, but this man still had this feeling about him that made Kyosuke want to stay defensive around him.

"Just Sasuke kid, you make it sound like I'm old." he said getting off of the tree.

"No," Kyosuke shook his head, "Momma always said 'treating people with respect it is the most important thing for me to do when in situations'." he said, quoting Sakura, "she's really gone?" he asked sadly. Sasuke nodded and walked to him.

"Fair enough. You keep going that way, all you'll find is more forest with no end." he said mentioning the direction he was going in.

"I don't care."

"Hn, you really loved your mother didn't you?" Kyosuke smiled, "But I'm sure you father would be worried sick is you never returned?" Kyosuke shook his head.

"My parents weren't together, but she said he lives in your village." Sasuke bent down to his level.

"Well then, Naruto and I will take you to Konoha." he said, making to little boy smile.

"Will you help me find him?" he asked.

"No, I'm an A-class ninja, not a baby sitter." Kyosuke started to laugh.

"You know Mr. Sasuke, you're really nice," Sasuke didn't breathe as he watch the boy smile, "and you're funny to, talking with a strait face, I love it. I think I'm gonna like you!" he laughed harder, gripping his stomach, "and you know what your names rhyme." she smiled and stopped laughing; he looked up as Sasuke and saw a little bit of emotion; it was like he was surprised.

"That smile." he mumbled, 'that god dammed smile!' he looked down, "it really suits you."

"Thanks! I got it form Momma, she had the nicest smile in the world, everyone back home always said nice things about her."

"You're lucky then." Sasuke said pulling off a half smile, for some reason, when ever this little boy smiled Sasuke feels that he has know him all along. 'I wonder is my son would have smiled like Sakura?'

Wow took a long time!
