Chapter 1: The New Kid

A lone teenager stood in the middle of the training field, it was raining hard enough to fill a swimming pool. Where is the teacher?! He should have been here twenty minutes ago! He watched a squirrel running to his safe tree. Hmm, good idea vermin! If only I could do the same! He was angry enough that some of the precipitation was boiling instantly on his face. Suddenly he heard a whisper, then a 'SHH!!' Being part wolf, he could hear the tiniest flaw in someone's voice. As soon as the whispering stopped, the boy heard someone sneak to the bushes to the right. Someone moved to a tree to the left, and there was shuffling in the original bush. So, there are three of you? I will make sure you know that I mean business. He went into battle position, taking of his shirt exposing his underweight body. Muscles were the only heavy thing on his body. His mask was still on his face, so he looked a bit weird. His hand was instinctively on his Kunai pocket.

Soon enough the attack began, it started with a girl in pink. She came down upon him from the tree she had a Kunai poised perfectly in her hand. The teen spun around and blocked the useless attack with his arm. She landed safely like a cat; as soon as she landed a boy in orange came out as if on cue he ran aiming at the teen with deadly accuracy. Suddenly another male, this time in blue, ran out in front of him with another Kunai. He heard the second attacker and the third run into each other as he slid out of the way. But then someone grabbed him by surprise, it was his teacher. So these are my classmates huh? Well I better introduce myself. "So, this all of my class? Wow this is small!" seeing the confused expressions on his peers faces he added "So Kakashi-Sensei hasn't told you yet? I am the newest addition to team seven. My name is Inumaru Takahshi!"

"I didn't tell you guys?" seeing their heads shake he sighed, "I guess I am getting old. Well Inumaru this is Sakura, the one in the pink. This here is Sasuke in the blue and Naruto in the orange." He said knowledgably, it made Inumaru wonder about how they would act towards him. "Okay, we are going to be doing the tree thing again. Inumaru, all you do is balance you chakra to the soles of your feet, like so and you try going up the tree and making a mark with your kunai where you stop like this." he balanced his chakra and non-hesitantly ran up the tree, and made a mark at the highest point of the tree. "Okay your turn Inumaru, just like I showed you!" Inumaru balanced his chakra with little effort and took off with deadly speed up to the tree. He felt his terrain change from soft grass to rough splintery bark. He felt pain as thousands of needle sharp splinters of wood surfacing under his skin. His pain went unnoticed as he reached the top and dug his Kunai into the bark and had no time to take it out. He landed a few yards to the left of Sakura, who looked horror struck. Inumaru looked at his teacher, whom was reading a book. "Sensei? I think I did it" Kakashi looked up at where the kunai was and a look of surprise showed in his eye. "Yeah, you passed that! Well I think we should go and enjoy some ramen at the Ramen Store."

"MMMM!! Ramen! Inumaru, you sure you don't want some? My treat!" Kakashi asked willingly. "You might want to take him up on that, Inumaru-San, he never buys us food." Naruto whispered insistently. "No thanks, I am full. Maybe I will later when and if the chance arises again." he said tactfully. All they are really trying to do is get my mask off to see my face, I can't let that happen. It will ruin everything I have worked for! Inumaru stood up and walked out of the shop. "See you later! I am going home to sleep off today." He started walking home well; I guess that I have about two miles of walking between me and home. Better think of what my history is. Inumaru started thinking of ideas when suddenly two men jumped into his path. One was and older man around fifty and a boy around Inumaru's age. "So you're Inumaru? Well we've been waiting. You're to come with us, come on." he walked a few steps and turned around again. "My boy, there isn't time to spare! Your mom is terribly ill! Come on!"

"That is where you are wrong! My mom has been dead for 8 years!" He hollered angry now. "Back off you power cr--" He was cut off as the other teenager knocked him unconscious. The old man slid his arm under Inumaru as he slumped to the ground. "We don't him to wake him up Kabuto. So let's take it easy with him." He said to the teenager. He put Inumaru over his shoulder. Inumaru was somewhere far off in his mind.

-- (Dream) -- "Huh? Where am I?! Oh crap, they've got me! Wake up dangit! Wha, who's there..."(end dream) Inumaru woke up in a small room. It was adorned with grey walls and ceiling. "Where am I? ANYONE?!" Inumaru asked loudly with tape over his mouth. Suddenly the old man and teenager came into the room. "So, are you ready to cooperate?" Inumaru shook his head violently "Oh pity, pity. I am sorry that you won't listen. But if you won't we have no choice... But to drug you and then take the demon out of you!" Inumaru stood up as soon as the teen lunged at him this time he accidentally cut the tape with his Kunai. Then Inumaru took the opportunity and kicked the teen into a wall. The old man came at him with a bad aim and missed Inumaru by an inch. An inch that Inumaru used to escape. Everyone screamed as they saw Inumaru running through the town without his mask, but luckily for him it was on his neck.

Inumaru was running when suddenly he saw team seven walking down the path. Kakashi looked up just as Inumaru slid behind a bush. "I saw you! Come out and you won't get hurt!" Inumaru slid on his mask, and then walked out from his hiding spot. "Sensei..." He heard Sakura scream and Kakashi yell a jumble of words and run towards him as Sasuke and Naruto ran for something in the opposite direction, suddenly he felt light as every thing turned dark.

Kakashi's POV "I saw you! Come out and you won't get hurt!" he said. In a few seconds someone slid out of the shadow of the tree, Inumaru. Inumaru muttered something along the lines of 'Sensei'. Kakashi saw blood everywhere, as did Sakura. "Run and get help Sasuke, Naruto you too!" He yelled back. Sakura had finished screaming and turned and ran. Inumaru collapsed and Kakashi picked him up expecting 150 pounds but instead was surprised that he was about 75 pounds. This isn't normal. Suddenly Jiraija came running down the path. "Naruto told me, WOAH! What happened? Do you know?" Jiraija asked with speed. "No, he came out from behind that tree and passed out. It's all weird; he wasn't even there this morning for class. That's why we were out here, looking for him." End Kakashi's Pov
