It was a cold and rainy winter day in the Forest of Death. Two young wolf pups had been somehow separated from their pack. Now they were sniffing around, trying to find their pack's scent. The young female finally gave up and took shelter under a large protruding tree root. The male was still sniffing about when he picked up an unusual smell. In all the wolf's young life, which was only two months, he had never smelled this. It was an arid stench, and was fresh, as if whatever the stench belonged to had passed by within the hour. The male gave a small snort, then returned to where his sister was and sat down. The female, from the same litter as her companion, was pure white with red eyes. The male was an average gray wolf with grey on his back and top of his head and white on the rest of his body. The female let out a small whine and stared at the rain. The two sat in silence until the rain's lullaby lulled them to sleep.

Soon they were rudely awoken by footsteps. The two slowly opened their eyes and realized that the sun was out. They peered curiously out from under the tree root and saw a boy of 13 standing in front of them. The boy was wearing a dark blue T-shirt, white shorts, arm warmers, some white bands around the bottom part of his legs, a kunai pouch, and the traditional ninja sandals.The boy seemed to be looking for something, what they didn't know nor did they care. They just wanted him to leave so they could resume searching for their famliy. Suddenly the boy jumped up and was gone before the two could blink. The male, feeling a brave, crawled out from under the tree root and resumed the search. The female, not as keen to leave her place of safety, watched him.

Later that day, around noon, the wolf pups stopped to rest. Ever since the male had picked up the scent they had been following the pack. The male saw a grasshopper not two inches away from his right paw. Instinctively, he jumped at it and tried to catch it. The grasshopper jumped away from him just in time. The young male let out a small growl, the chase was on. While her brother played, the female went to investigate a curious noise and it's source wasn't far away. In a small clearing she saw the boy from earlier. Now she saw that he had black spiky hair and had a large fan symbol on the back of his shirt. She let out a small growl to alert her brother and started circling the clearing to see what this boy was doing. The male heard the growl and left his newfound bug friend to join his sister. The boy was throwing kunai knives at a tiny leaf, getting more frustrated by the minute. For it seemed that he kept missing the leaf and instead hit the tree or the soft ground. A stray knife went towards the two, instinct told them to move, but their minds told them to stay and see what exactly was flying at them. For they did not know that the knife could and would hurt them if they didn't move. Before the two could decide what they were going to do, the blade stopped.

The two stared at the knife in wonder, then they saw a hand holding the knife. The boy had seen the wolves and had stopped the knife from hitting them, why, he didn't know. He put the kunai knife away and stared at the two petrified wolves. The wolves simply stared back. Suddenly the male bit the boys hand between his thumb and index finger.

"Ow!" yelped the boy, nursing his hand. "Blood thirsty little thing aren't you?"

"Sasuke!", called out a voice from behind the boy, now known as Sasuke. Sasuke turned, and gave the stranger a cold emotionless glare.

"I'm training Kabuto. What do you want?" he asked coldly.

"Hot-tempered as usual. Orochimaru wants you to go back to the base so he can teach you some ninjutsu. Now.", Kabuto said as he turned and left.

"Based around snakes no doubt.", Sasuke muttered darkly as he started after Kabuto. The two wolves looked at each other. The male licked his teeth and started to follow Sasuke. The female, not wanting to be left behind, went with him. Soon Sasuke found that he was being followed, and realized that the wolves were behind him. 'Don't they have a famliy to get back to? Where is their pack anyways? The young aren't usually allowed to be away from the pack for a long period of time... Are they lost?' , thought Sasuke. He started to run to loose the bothersome two, but no avail. This pattern went on for over an hour, Sasuke running and the wolves following to the best of their ability. When a building loomed into view, Sasuke stopped abruptly. The wolves skidded to a halt beside him. Sasuke turned to them.

"If you two insist on following me then you'll have to keep quiet and stay out of my way. And as soon as you're big enough, you're leaving.", he said.The two seemed to consider this for a moment, then the female took a step forward and nodded. Sasuke was taken aback; he hadn't really expected them to understand him. Then again, it could have been a trick of the light. He sighed as he saw the male do the same.

"Fine. C'mon, Orochimaru is gonna get angry if I don't show up soon", he said, motioning for them to follow. This time the two pups followed more slowly, carefully choosing their path to their new home.
