"The target has moved! Follow it!" Kakashi said through the radio. Team 7 rushed and followed the target. When the target finally stopped we hid behind trees.

"What's your distance from the target?" Kakashi asked.

"5 meters. I'm ready just give the signal," Naruto replied while eyeing the target.

"I'm ready too,” Sasuke agreed.

"So am I" Sakura said.

"Yeah, yeah let’s just hurry and nab this thing,” I growled. I wanted to sighed when I felt myself let out a low growl. Damn canine instincts. I change into my w/f (Wolf Form) and peeked out from the side of the tree.

"Ok...NOW!" Kakashi yelled. We all jumped from behind the trees out at once you went for the target. Naruto was the first to get the cat, (target).

"I got it! I got it!" Naruto yelled as he snatched the cat off the ground. Then the cat went on a rampage and scratching Naruto in the face like crazy as if he was a scratching pole.

I sighed and changed back into my h/f (human form) before anybody could see me in my real form.

"Have you verified the ribbon on the right ear?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes we have," I said in an irritated tone as I closed my eyes trying not to look at the cat. My canine instincts were starting to break loose from my grasp. The growl from my throat grew loud enough were everyone could hear. They all looked at me in a weird way but I shrugged in response.

"Good work. Mission accomplished, " Kakashi said.

FF

We all watched the cat get squished to death.

"Ha-ha! That cat deserves to get squished!" said Naruto in amusement. I smirked at the cat being made into a pancake. 'Ha-ha stupid cat!'

"No wonder the cat ran away" Sakura said with an anime sweat drop. Then the 3rd Hokage started to read off the available missions until Naruto cut him off.

"No! I wanna go on a real mission! Not these baby missions! Come on old man!" Naruto yelled making your ears pound for a second.

'He has a point...But why the hell does he have to yell!' I thought angrily.

"How dare you! You are a genin and that means you do simple missions so you can improve your skills!" Iruka Sensei yelled back at Naruto making me flinch a little.

"BABY SITTING IS NOT A MISSION! ITS JUST A STUPID-" Naruto yelled louder but before he could even finish, I hit him in the head really hard making him hit the ground.

"Would you shut it Naruto! Your making my ears bleed!" I growled, he just sat up and gave me a small pout and rubbed the top of his head.

"So be it," The 3rd Hokage sighed. We all looked up surprised,

"Since you all are so determined...I will give you a C rank mission. You'll be body guards on a mission," Hokage finished.

"Really! ALL RIGHT! Who! Who! Who!" Naruto yelled as he jumped up making me flinch again. I growled but let it slide and listened to what the Hokage had to say.

"Don’t be so impatient. Bring in the visitor," The Hokage said. Then we all look at the door and waited for our client to walk in that door.

Then a minute later, the door opened and an unbearable scent rampaged my nose, making it cringe. An old guy with a beer bottle stepped through the door and looked at us. He was drunk, and I could tell from the scent leaking off him.

"What the hell? A bunch of kids!" He said as he shoved the bottle in his mouth and drank the liquid.

"And you, the short one with the idiotic look on your face. You really expect me to believe that you’re a ninja," he said drunkly pointing at Naruto.

"Who's the short one with idiotic look?" Naruto laughed. We all stood by him, showing him he was the shortest. I was only an inch taller than him.

"Let me at him! I'll demolish him!" Naruto yelled as Kakashi held him back.

"You can't demolish him. He is the client,” I said sighing. I’ve been doing that a lot lately.

"Same goes for you girly," he said referring to me. A red anger mark appeared on my forehead and glared at the guy before lunging at him.

"Why you! I otta' beat you to a pulp! Let me go! I'll show you what this shorty can do!" I yelled as Kakashi held me back like he did with Naruto.

"You can't beat him either Reika," Kakashi said sighing.

"I am Tazuna, I am a bridge builder, and I expect you to get me to there even if it means giving up your life." he said a little less drunk.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! Believe it!" Naruto yelled pointing to his headband.

"Hn...Uchiha Sasuke" Sasuke said.

"I'm Haruno Sakura," Sakura said smiling.

"I'm Tsukimaru Reika,"

"A Tsukimaru?" Tazuna asked curiously.

"Got a problem with it?" I growled. He shook his head no but kept eyeing me.

FF

We started out the village, and headed towards our destination but the whole way Tazuna keep looking at me, and it was starting to get on my nerves. 'Damn it! I swear to god if that creep keeps looking at me I'm going to kill him!'

"Take a picture, it'll last longer, " I growled then with that he finally looked away. We keep walking for what seems like forever when all of a sudden, I passed by a puddle.

Hm a puddle? But...

I looked up at the sky and didn't see a cloud in the sky. It hasn't rain in over a week.

Something's not rightI slowly observed the surroundings. 'Keep an eye out' Haya said cautiously. Then the wind picked up an unknown scent that had me looking in all directions waiting to be attack. The scent drew closer but nothing attacked us.

Suddenly, two people jumped out of two puddles that were on the ground. They both wrapped chains around Kakashi's body and sliced him clean in half. Everyone looked shock but I knew he wasn't dead. He couldn't be...

After, they each ran in a different direction going in for an attack on either side.

"Get behind me, sir!" Sakura said as she positioned herself in front of Tazuna.

"Naruto, move!" Sasuke yelled.

Sasuke quickly jumped into the air as one of the ninjas flung its claws out at the bridge builder. He directed it off course with a kunai and shuriken in one easy sweep. Sasuke then got in front of Sakura and Tazuna, in his own defensive stance.

The sweet smell of blood made my head turn so fast it almost gave me a whiplash. Naruto's hand was bleeding as the other ninja stood over him, laughing to himself.

"Foolish boy." The ninja chuckled evilly, making my blood boil. The way he chuckled reminded me of my brother's chuckle.

He raised his claw in the air, ready to swipe it down over Naruto and finish him off. I was in front of Naruto in a heartbeat in my w/f with my fangs bared. I growled viciously towards the enemy and gave him a death glare. He stopped out of surprise, but then laughed.

"As if you could stop me mutt," he chuckled.

Mutt? Big mistake.

In a blink of an eye, I lunged toward him and pushed him towards the trees. I kept lunging at him until his back was against the smirked and lunged at him aiming for his neck, but he ducked and cut the side of my body making me let out a high pitched yelp. My eyes filled up with anger and I gripped on to his neck and threw him out of the forest back to where everyone was.

Naruto's POV

After the white dog jumped into the forest after the guy that attack us, a sharp yelp filled the air and then the guy flew out of the forest and landed next to the other guy that Kakashi Sensei knocked out. And soon followed two huge white dogs with three large marks on her side. Blood stained its white fur and the wounds started to bleed tremendously.

Reika’s POV

Me and the clone I just made pinned down the ninja that attack our team. We glared at the enemy with a sinister wolf smirk plastered on our face.

"Looks like I did stop you," I smirked evilly at them. They just glared at us.

"Now die!" I growled as your jaws widened and grabbed onto their neck.

"Wait Reika!" Kakashi yelled.

"Reika!" Everyone but Sasuke said surprised.

"What?" I asked impatiently.

"We need them to ask them a few questions,” he said as he walked up to me.

"Hurry up and ask them then," I said not letting my eyes leave the enemy.

"Who sent you?" Kakashi demanded.

"You might as well kill us," the first one said gasping for air as I tightened my grasp.

"We will never tell," The other one said.

"Is that so?" Kakashi said in an emotionless tone. They didn't answer and they're eyes started to roll into the back of there head because of the no oxygen I gave them, but I shook them until the rolled back.

"All right Reika, go ahead," Kakashi said turning around.

"Finally," I said as an evil wolf grin crawled upon my face. I looked at the enemy with no mercy showing in my eyes and tighten my grip on the ninja's neck. They all turned away as I started to rip the ninja's screaming throat out of their body. Their bloody screams echoed through the air.

I got off the lifeless body as my clone disappeared and licked my chomps. I shuddered as the tasted the blood. It was bitter and cold. I turned around and faced my team. They looked a little scared of me, causing me to look away in shame. My ears flattened against my skull and hung me head as my feet slowly carried me towards them. Even my teammates are afraid of me.I walked up to Naruto.

"Oi... Naruto are you alright?" I asked keeping my head down.

"Oh yeah! Don't worry it's just a scratch!" He said as he smiled at me with a goofy grin.

"Good," I said trying to give my rare smiles but failed.

"REIKA YOU’RE A DOG? THAT'S SO COOL!" He yelled making me whimper and flinch. In this form my ears are even more sensitive then before.

"I'm not a dog you idiot! I'm a wolf! And would you stop yelling, for crying out loud your gonna blow out my eardrums!" I yelled. Then Sasuke walked up to Naruto.

"Hey, Your not hurt are you? You big scaredy cat." Sasuke said in a mocking tone. Naruto's fist clinched and got ready lung at Sasuke until Kakashi stopped him.

"Naruto! Don't Move! Those ninja's claws had poison in them. If you keep moving your spread the poison," Kakashi said in a stern voice. Then Naruto started freaking out.

I sighed and walked over to Sasuke. From the side of Kakashi's eye, he noticed the huge gash on my side. How… the hell… do you not notice that?

"Reika don't move! The poison will spread through your body as well." Kakashi warned.

Too late. I already felt the poison started to work through my body, and I felt my breathing get heavier. 'Kid! Stop! I can probably help if you stop moving' Haya kept saying. I finally nodded and stopped but the next thing I know, I was on the floor, and my body felt weak and heavy.

"Dammit." I mumble as I struggled to get back up but failed and collapsed back down. Everyone ran towards me, calling my name asking if I was all right. I didn't have any strength to look at them.

"I'll be fine...I'm just a little tired that's all.." I said giving a smirk. Slowly my eyelids started to close, and I felt the cold hands of darkness slowly take me away. The last thing I remember hearing, was everyone calling my name and feeling my demon's charka wrapping around my body.
