9I do not own Naruto. If I did, he would be no where NEAR as loud as he is.
A young boy crouched in the shade of a giant oak. In his hands were two bowls, one containing milk, the other holding bits of meat with a few vegetables mixed in. Setting the bowls on the ground the young boy quickly scurried away to hide behind another tree.
Peeking around the trunk the boy watched as a shadow moved in the bough of the tree. The shadow revealed itself to be a little red fox kit as it jumped to the ground to sniff the contents of the bowls. Satisfied with the food the fox quickly emptied the bowls and licked its chops clean.
Sasuke wore a gentle smile as he watched the fox kit eat. While he couldn't bring much at a time for it to eat without his father noticing, he still brought what he could and his constant food was starting to have a noticeable effect. The fox's ribs no longer stuck out and its coat was getting shiny and sleeker.
Sasuke was happy he was able to help the little fox. The first time he saw it the poor thing was all skin and bones, rooting around a trash can in the Uchiha district. Sasuke had immediately felt sorry for the little fox. Pulling a half eaten sandwich out of his pocket he had crouched down and offered it to the starving animal. To his surprise the animal looked at him before tentatively approaching and snatching the sandwich from his hand. As much as he wanted the fox to eat out of his hand, he didn't expect it to actually get close to him.
After the fox finished the sandwich it looked at Sasuke with hopeful eyes. Looking into those eyes Sasuke quickly made a decision. Scooping the fox up and gently wrapping his hand around its muzzle to keep it from biting him, he hurried towards his house. It was worth any punishment his father could give him to help the little fox.
After a week of consistently feeding the fox they had worked out a routine. The fox would hide in the tree when Sasuke would bring it food. After setting the food down Sasuke would hide behind a tree and wait for the fox to come out. After watching the fox eat and making sure it was finished eating, Sasuke could come out of hiding to retrieve the bowls. The fox would scurry up the tree whenever Sasuke would come out. After that first day the fox never let Sasuke near it. It would watch him from the tree as he retrieved the bowls and sat under the tree talking to the fox about how his day went.
Today was the same as usual for the two. The fox watched as Sasuke picked up the bowls and returned home to get ready for the academy, which the fox would hear all about when Sasuke brought it its afternoon meal. What was different was the young man who stepped out of the shadows after Sasuke disappeared. He waked up to the tree the fox kit was hiding in and looked right up at it.
"So you're what Sasuke has been hiding."
Don't expect my chapters to be long or updated very often. It you see any mistakes, kindly point them out since I don't have a beta.
