1 Taking Home a Stray

It was a long day and the sun was no good for any Uchiha's skin. The younger heir to the billion-dollar Uchiha empire swore as his ears caught the squealing of hyper fan girls nearby.

"He's somewhere here I know it!" a cherry blossomed hair girl screamed to her blonde bitch.

"Shut up! He'll hear you and we'll end up losing him again!" Ino scolded her childhood frienemy Sakura.

"Oops! Sorry…"

The girls split up to search and Sasuke decided to remain hidden up in a tree he had just climbed. Unfortunately, the Gods above didn't seem to pity the immaculately handsome man. Being chased by females for his looks, money and intellect wasn't anything new.

Sasuke wasn't one to deny running away from the horny females hell-bent on dating him either. In fact, his close friends in Konoha University knew too. Karin often laughed at how Sasuke might just be gay with how he feared most of the female population so much that he would develop hives whenever they were within his sensors. Jugo was his very reliable pal to help him in tight pinches. It was no surprise as the man was a former boxer in the underground rings. While he now worked as a bouncer, his biceps had not lost any of their impressive size, decorating his bulky frame with the purpose to intimidate the weak-hearted. Not many know of his soft spot for abandoned animals. The last one in the group was Suigetsu. Often known as a sharp-tongued, cold-blooded and insensitive guy, Suigetsu was a good friend. It wasn't known to many but Sasuke knew how the poor man had a crush on Karin.

In any case, the sky turned grey faster than he could fish out his phone to call for backup from the girls who were just about to find him.

Heavy pellets fell onto the ground, covering it entirely in a mere matter of seconds. Sasuke Uchiha the boy beauty was up in a tree cursing his luck. "Could this day get any worse?"

Confident that Sakura and Ino were gone, the prodigy left the tree for home.

The walk was cold and nothing was pleasant. It was a good thing he left the laptop in his locker and that they did not have any urgent reports to be handed in. Fridays were usually night out with Taka, his closer group of pals. However, Sasuke decided to call today off seeing how he was in a lousy mood.

"Stupid luck…" he kicked some mushy newspaper on the ground not caring anymore as his shoes were already soaking. The fact that he had forgotten the umbrella just as he left the house was the beginning of his bad luck. If only he had spared a few seconds to check this morning.

"Kyu…"

"I swear the whole world should be devoid of the female population… those crazy baby bearers' need to mate can be scary… Why do I have these genes anyway? So what if I had a good head and some good looks… why do I-"

"Kyuu~!"

Stalling in the rain, Sasuke frowned. Was that part of his imagination? He had better hurry home before he fell sick and delusional.

"Kyu-uu!"

That's it! Backtracking, the raven-haired student kept his ears keen for that mysterious sound.

As he got closer the high pitched whining became louder. Coming across a corner he saw the source of the noise.

"What on earth?"

In a rain-soaked cardboard box was a very drenched creature, tiny and with golden fur. Its tail was a bright shade of orange with a black tip.

"Kyu…"

The creature whined weakly and without second thoughts, Sasuke bent down to pick the shivering mess. It was wet and uncomfortable but the Uchiha tucked it into his shirt, groaning as the wet fur clung onto his skin and sucked out his body heat. Noticing his skin turning a shade of blue, the man hurried home.

>>Xxx Destiny Aitsuji xxX<<

"… you can't? I see. That's too bad then. I'll see what I can do for the little guy. Thanks, Jugo."

Sighing in frustration as he ended the call, Sasuke glanced over to the newly showered creature. He had thought it was a puppy initially but no puppy on earth made such a weird sound. No doubt the creature was beautiful on first sight but Sasuke can't help but marvel at how adorable it was with its fur nice and dry.

The poor animal must have been worn out and had been sleeping while Sasuke was halfway through giving it a bath. Running his piano thin fingers through the lovely pelt, Sasuke was trying to think of a name for the creature.

It wasn't until the tiny animal let out an adorable yawn that made the raven-haired man chuckle. "Kyun huh? I think Kyuusuke suits you just fine."

With that, the Uchiha slowly drifted off to the rainy lullaby outside his window.
