"What's going on here?" yelled Akira. "You'll find out soon enough dear." smiled her grandmother. "Wait!" With a flash she was gone. Her surrounding was multi colors swirls. After a quick peek she kept her eyes close hoping it would make some of the nausea would go away.

Flashback~

Happy birthday Akira and Amaya! Her family had said in union. Akira is finally 18 today. A legal adult and she hated it. In fact she's always hated celebrating her birthday. It just reminds her that she was getting older and closer to death. The only plus side to her birthday is she gets to

share it with her partner in crime Amaya. The loyal toy poodle mix is turning 6 today. They share a really close bond and wherever Akira is Amaya was sure to be by her side. "Erm thanks everyone..." "Arf!" "Okay okay I'm cheering up see!" She turned to smile at her dog "Now that you're

18 what do you plan on doing?" asked her cousin. "Well…I haven't exactly thought about it. Since it is the middle of summer I still have loads to do. I'll figure something out before it's over." That's right she thought to herself. I've graduated…and for the moment have no plans. I never

expect July 22nd to come so quickly. A sigh slipped from her mouth. "This is so troublesome." "Come Akira let us cut the cake!" Her grandmother said. The only reason why Akira actually put up with this celebration is to make her grandma happy. Her parents abandon Akira at a young age;

she owes everything to her grandmother. So celebrating her birthday wasn't such a bad thing if it placed a beaming smile on her grandma's face. After the cakes (Amaya had one too) were cut and devoured. One by one the family began to leave finally the house was peaceful. Akira was

cleaning the kitchen when she heard her grandma calling her from her meditating studio. "I'll be there in just a second! Hey Amaya can you go see what she wants from me please? ""woof "with that Amaya skipped on over to the room. "Woof!" Amaya let out a trouble bark, hearing that

Akira ran into the room. "What's…?" The shocked that come to her stop them rest of the sentence from coming. "What did you do to the room grandma?" The place was transformed into an old Japanese shrine. Symbols on the floor candles lit everywhere and pictures of wolves on the

walls. "There's something you need to know Akira now that you're 18." Akira waited for her grandmother to speak once more. "Your whole life you grew up not knowing that along with your Hispanic American background you're also Japanese from our side of the family. Not only that but

we come from the grand Inuzuka clan." Akira took a look in the mirror and began to laugh. "Grandma come on. Do you honestly expect me to believe that? Look at me I don't look Japanese at all. Even if this is all true why did you keep it from me? What's the big deal?" "Well I thought I

would save it for this moment. Now back to what I was saying; it's time for you to take some responsibilities of our wolf clan." She sprinkled dust on Akira and around the symbol on the floor. "Wait…what if I don't want to?" She continued on to making weird hand signs and mumbling

some kind of chant. "Grandma wait!" "I'm sorry Akira in life you're going to be faced with things you don't want to do but are forced to do them anyway. Akira began to feel dizzy. What made things worse was looking down towards her feet that were somehow vanishing right before her

eyes. "Wait!"

End flashback~

Tell me this is bad dream…agh! Make the spinning stop!

Everything came to a stop. Well that was easy. She sat up and opened her eyes. Akira saw green everywhere and a passed out Amaya beside a bush."Oh my god! Not you too Amaya!" She picked up her dog and began running, yelling for help. Finally she saw what seemed like a house.

Running towards it seemed like such a good idea at the moment until she was tackled to the floor by a huge wolf. "Who are you?" someone from beyond the gates yelled out. "I'm sorry for intruding! But my name is Akira and my dog Amaya is hurt! Please I need to help her. ""Akamaru its

okay let them inside." The giant wolf retreated into the gates. Out of the gates appeared a tall looking guy with messy brown hair, sharp black eyes. It looks like he has canine teeth and red fang marking on his cheeks. "Sorry about that. My name is Kiba and this is my dog Akamaru. I'm

sure my sister Hana can help." "Thank you so much!" Akira followed Kiba inside his home into a medical looking room there she saw a women standing reading a book. She also had brown hair but in a neat ponytail dark eyes and like Kiba she also had red fang marks on her cheek and

the weird wardrobe. "Hana this girl needs your help her dog isn't looking so good." Hana put her book down and took the dog from Akira onto the medical table. "Hello I'm so sorry to intrude like this. My name is Akira and this is my dog Amaya. I'm not sure what's wrong with her but can

you please help?" "Sure I can I am a veterinarian after all." She placed her hands over Amaya body and a green light began to omit from them. "Hmm…Kiba please take our guest on over into the living room and keep her company." Kiba looked at Hana then Akira and signaled her to

follow. They came into a huge living room area where they both sat on chairs. "What's with the odd looking clothes?" Kiba asked. "Excuse me?" Akira looked down at what she wore: dark jeans and a red mid sleeve shirt along with a black bow on the side of hair. She had acrylic nails and

of course had her make-up done and adorable ankle boots to go along with her outfit. "I'll have you know this isn't weird. What you have on now that's weird. Don't you shop at the mall?" Kiba had a blank look on his face. "What are you talking about crazy person?" "Hey! I'm not crazy

okay. What part of California is this anyway?" "California?" ask Kiba. They both started at each other. It was clear they both were confused as to what was going on. "Stop kidding around please. Where are we?"She asked "We're in Konoha, the village hidden in the leaves." "Konoha…

I've never heard of that city before." "Have you been living under a rock or something?" "Clearly I'm not if you're the one thinking that I have weird clothes. Hmph!" "Hey! Are you trying to say I'm the one living under a rock? ""Yes." said Akira She heard him growl at her and began to

laugh. "Did you seriously just growl at me? It was kind of cute ha-ha." Kiba stopped and slightly began to blush. Hana who was observing the two began to smile then became serious as she started to walk towards them. "I'm glad to see you two are getting along." Akira and Kiba

focused their attention towards Hana. "How is she?" asked a worried Akira."Don't worry Amaya is going to be fine. She's needs to rest which means you two shall be staying here." "Good job sis!" shouted Kiba Hana didn't smile at the phrase she looked at Akira. "What's wrong sis?"

Hana sighed and looked at her brother." Akira there's something I need to talk to you about. Kiba same things goes to you. I was hoping mom would be here to explain this but since she's off on a mission it looks like I'm going to have to do it." "Again…"mumbled Akira."What exactly is

going on?"the two said in union.
