Don't own Naruto, Fairy Tail or GARO! Do own my OC's! It's a short chapter, and the next is a mix of story and mechanics. But then the story gets going!
Prologue: Unexpected Surprise
Peering down from the trees, the lone ANBU scowled at the bandits behind his mask. Having been alerted to the strange presence in the camp by his ninken, Inu decided to investigate.
"Your certain Pakkun?" Inu asked once more as the ninken looked annoyed.
"Yes Kakashi, I'm certain. There's a young boy with chakra in the leader's tent." Seeing the unspoken question Pakkun clarified "Too young to have chakra normally. Somethings fishy."
With a sigh, Hatake Kakashi nodded at the ninken who then vanished. Silently moving through the forest, Inu arrived and made short work of the scum. The leader had been getting his jollies with the toddler, who was screaming. Inu made sure the leader died a painful, agonizing death. Triple checking that the camp was clear, Inu moved toward the now cowering bloody boy.
Managing to coax the boy to him, Kakashi was furious to figure out the child was maybe a bit older than two. He noticed a strip of cloth that had been tied around the boy's chest. It was clearly carrying something. Reaching out to get to a better look, Kakashi was stunned to hear growling amid the repeated word "Mine!"
Deciding not to press the traumatized boy any further, Kakashi withdrew his hand and politely asked to see the cloth.
"Mine!"
"Yes. I want to see. Not take. Look, not take."
"… Look no take?"
"Yes. See, here's mine." A small flash of metal glints.
"… Look okay." Chubby baby hands fumble as a second flash of metal glints. Kakashi nearly fainted at the sight.
"Dog man okay?"
"… Y-Yes. I'm okay. Wait Dog man?" The same chubby hand reaches out slowly and pokes the mask.
"Dog man. Smell dog."
"… Do you want to come with me?" The universal symbol for 'up' is presented to him. Kakashi takes it without hesitation.
Minutes later the duo are speeding through the trees, after a quick summon to send a message to Konoha. A bubbly laugh follows the shout of "Doggy!"

[Konohagakure; Hokage's Office]
Having passed through the gate with a quick chakra flare and a nod, Inu entered the Hokage's office through the window. Oddly the boy was nervous after the chakra flare, and now that Inu had held him he realized why.
It wasn't that the boy had unlocked his chakra, but that he was covered in a fine yet strong layer of chakra. This pointed to one thing, and Inu was glad to see that several people were present in response to his message.
"ANBU Inu, reporting in." Inu carefully held the boy as he knelt before the Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandime Hokage merely nodded.
Inu placed the boy on the floor and wasn't surprised to feel the small hands grip his leg. Sarutobi studied the boy carefully. As did Yamanaka Inoichi and Senju Tsunade. Inu finally managed to get the boy to release his leg and sat him in a chair.
"Dog man go?" The boy asked, his voice strained and quivering. Inu glanced at the Hokage, who subtly shook his head no. A second ANBU moved another chair next to the first.
Inu sat down and felt a small hand grip his tightly. The boy warily eyed the rest of the room, before settling on the old man behind the desk.
"Thank you..." The boy trailed off before stiffening as though electrocuted and scrambled into Inu's bewildered embrace. Hasty whispers before the boy once again attempted to hide burying himself further into Inu.
The door opened without a knock. Those in the room turned at the intruder to find a heavily bandaged man, one arm in a sling. Sarutobi frowned at Shimura Danzo's action.
"Is that the henged survivor of Uzushiogakure?" Came the cold question, as Danzo stepped forward, his cane clacking with each step. "Why is it still up?" Danzo leaned down trying to look at the boy.
"Danzo how did..." But Sarutobi was cut off as Danzo had pulled the struggling boy from Inu's hold.
"Look at a person when they're talking to you boy!" A deep growl rumbled from the small chest as two eyes met one visible one. Danzo channeled chakra and snapped "Kai!"
The room filled with smoke as the henge was forcibly dispelled. Seconds later, Shimura Danzo began screaming.

[2 Hours Later]
I'd been placed in the orphanage, under a powerful henge. I had reacted badly to the bandaged man removing my 'special thingy' and began to bite and scratch him. The shock of me going from a normal boy with odd markings, to a clear yet unknown hanyou had been great. After a strange man entered my mind and looked around, a woman checked my health and healed my injuries and the man's.
I watched as some paper work was drawn up and then I was taken to a new building. I refused to let go of my egg, despite the bandaged man wanting it. I nearly bit him again. He quickly backed off. I was given new clothes, including a large space in the chest area for my egg. I decided that this might not be so bad. My scroll, which had also been in my possession was taken and given to the lady that ran the building.
I pouted at that before deciding to run around the play room. Life in this strange woodsy smelling place had begun.
