A/N: Okay, so this is my first attempt at a crossover with Naruto and Inuyasha. We'll see how it goes! I only own my OC Reyna who appears in nearly everything I write that is Naruto related! The rest is property of the shows' creators! Chapter One is Naruto only! Enjoy…

NIGHTTIME TRAP

Naruto Uzumaki settled more comfortably in the branch of the tree he was currently lounging in. Kakashi had given his team a day off to recover after their last mission, though Naruto thought that it had more to do with the fact that he wanted to spend some time with Reyna after she was released from the hospital. He shrugged not willing to question a quiet day for a change of pace. He had already spent the morning training and now he found that he was content to relax.

"Naruto!" his quiet relaxing was interrupted by Sakura's voice under his tree.

He swung down out of his perch and stood grinning before her, "Hey, Sakura what are you doing out here?"

"Looking for you, you knucklehead. Lady Tsunade needs to talk to us right away!" Sakura snapped before grabbing his arm and pulling him along behind her until he found his feet and met her pace.

"Alright, I'm coming already. Do you know what's going on that she needs us?" he questioned.

Sakura shook her head, "No idea, all I know is that she sent me to find you and an ANBU to get Reyna- and Kakashi-Sensei."

Naruto shrugged, keeping pace beside his friend and teammate as they headed through the village and to the Hokage's office. He was really glad that he wasn't the one who had been sent to get the two Jounin. In fact, he found himself feeling a little sorry for the poor ANBU that had been given that particular assignment.

While Naruto was stretched out and relaxing in his tree, Reyna was curled up on Kakashi's couch, a book in hand though it was not one of Jiraiya's. She had her legs stretched out on the coffee table in front of her and Kakashi was reading as well, his head on her lap. As she read, Reyna was absently playing with his hair, at least until there was a heavy knock on the door and Kakashi sighed before pushing himself to his feet to answer it.

He pulled the door open to reveal a masked ANBU and he raised a questioning brow at him even as he spoke, "What's wrong?"

"Lady Tsunade needs to speak with both you and Reyna immediately. Sakura is collecting Naruto as we speak," the ANBU replied even as Reyna stepped in behind Kakashi and tilted her head to the side.

"Do you know why?" she questioned.

"No, I was sent only to bring you back to the Hokage's office immediately."

Reyna nodded, dropping her book on a shelf by the door while Kakashi stowed his on his person. They both fell in step behind the ANBU as he lead them towards the Hokage's office, both of them wondering what could warrant her having to send an ANBU to collect them. The masked ninja disappeared as soon as they reached the Hokage's tower and Kakashi and Reyna immediately headed up and into Tsunade's office. Tsunade was waiting for them, seated behind her desk with Shizune standing to her left. Naruto and Sakura turned around to greet their teammates but before they could utter a single word, Tsunade spoke first.

"Good, now that you're all here I can explain why. Recently there has been some concern about a small group of rogue mercenary ninja and their activities. They have attacked half a dozen of the smaller villages, but what they're after we have been unable to determine. I want you to track down this group, identify as many as you can and find out what it is that they want. This is an A-Rank to S-Rank mission so be on your guard," she stated.

"If it's such a high ranked mission, why are you sending us out, Lady Tsunade?" Sakura asked.

"Because you are the best equipped team to deal with unknown threats; Reyna can tell before anyone else if there is someone approaching, Kakashi can read any attack, you are there as a medical ninja should the need arise and Naruto has chakra levels that are beyond compare. If I could spare a team of Jounin or a team of ANBU I would, but as it stands I cannot. There are two Jounin on this mission and that is all I can send out for an unknown threat at the moment."

"Don't worry, Grandma! They don't stand a chance against us! We'll have that information in no time flat," Naruto stated enthusiastically.

Kakashi sighed and shook his head at his student, "We'll see what we can find. Where was their last known location?"

"On the border of the Land of Lightning; the ANBU that brought back the information I just gave you managed to get a piece of clothing, so Reyna you'll have one reference scent at least."

Reyna nodded, "Of course and if I can get more I will. Anything else we need to know?"

Tsunade shook her head and Shizune handed Reyna a scrap of cloth in a sealed bag, "Hopefully the scent hasn't been too badly contaminated."

Reyna shrugged, "It shouldn't be. I can take this with us? It'd be helpful if I can reference it from time to time for a while."

Tsunade nodded, "Of course. I want your team ready to go and out of the village in two hours, Kakashi."

He nodded, "We'll be ready. Alright guys, let's get what we need and head out."

The group headed out of Tsunade's office quickly and separated once they reached the street to head for their respective homes in order to stock up on what they'd need for their mission. Reyna and Kakashi walked back to his apartment and set to work double checking the packs that they both always had ready to go since it wasn't unusual for either of them to be called out on last minute missions. Once they were sure they had what they needed, the two of them headed for the main gates to await their teammates before the group set out for the Land of Lightning.

They travelled quickly and only took necessary breaks on their trip. Reyna did not want to risk losing a trail that was already cold. Once they reached the last known location of their adversaries, Team Kakashi regrouped just outside of a small village. Reyna shifted to her wolf form and did a quick sweep around the perimeter of the village, catching only the faintest scent that belonged to the unknown ninja they were tracking. She reported back to the team within half an hour, shifting back to her human self when she reached them.

"So they have quite a head start on us them," Kakashi muttered after Reyna reported her findings.

"What do we do then, Kakashi-Sensei?" Sakura asked.

"We'll track them for as long as we can and if that doesn't work for us, we'll come back to the village and see what information the citizens can give us. What did the village look like anyway, Reyna?" he turned his gaze on the other Jounin.

"Trashed. There's not a whole lot left of the village, but the citizens are starting to rebuild. It looks like they went after the market areas," she responded, lifting her head at the sound of approaching footfalls. "We have company, coming in from the direction of the village. Heavy footfalls, so most likely a civilian."

Kakashi nodded and the four of them stood and turned towards their unexpected guest who appeared a few seconds later, "I thought there was someone out here. What the hell are Leaf Ninja doing here?"

"We're here looking into the attack on your village," Kakashi responded as his team stood around him.

"Well if you're thinking you're going to find any supplies here, you're outta luck. Might as well just keep moving," he snapped in response and Reyna bit back a growl.

"We are, we just stopped to regroup and choose a next course of action," Kakashi smoothed over, picking up the tense body language from Reyna and wanting to get moving as soon as they could again.

"Good, then go!"

Kakashi shook his head and motioned for his team to move out. As one, the four of them leapt into the trees above them and followed Reyna's lead as she headed off in the same direction the scent had lead. She supposed she couldn't blame their visitor for his hostility and fear, but it continued to bother her as she lead the group away from the village and deeper into the Land of Lightning.

When dark fell, Kakashi called a halt to their chase and they fell into the regular routine of setting up camp for the night. Sakura set genjutsu traps around the small clearing they had chosen while Kakashi made a quick sweep of the immediate area for any signs of others. Naruto started a small fire and Reyna rolled out bedrolls. They sat in silence, staring into the fire for a while that night before Naruto, Sakura and Reyna curled into their bedrolls and left Kakashi to take the first watch.

It was only a few hours later that Reyna sat bolt upright, amber eyes searching the night around her as she very slowly got to her feet, crouching in her bedroll. Kakashi's scent drifted to her on the wind, but there was nothing unusual in it so she ignored it, trying to figure out what had pulled her out of sleep. No new scents or sounds carried on the slight breeze to her, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was out there; watching and waiting.

Kakashi was settled in a tree overlooking their small camp and so when Reyna bolted upright, he too sat up, tensing immediately. It wasn't very often the wolf moved like that and turned predatory in the blink of an eye but when she did there was always a reason for it. Now he watched as she searched the dark, knowing her eyesight was a hell of a lot better in the dark than his and when she didn't move he dropped down from his perch. She didn't even flicker a glance in his direction even though he knew that she had heard him; she remained perfectly still, ready to move in any direction at any moment.

"Reyna?" his voice was pitched so low that he knew only she would hear him.

She merely held up a hand for him to be quiet for a few more minutes while she continued to try to find the source of her unease. He remained where he was, not wanting to interfere with her senses, though he too was on high alert and listening for any sound that didn't belong in the quiet night. Reyna was moving a fraction of a second before Sakura sat bolt upright as well as her genjutsu traps were broken. Instantly the group was moving, including Naruto after Sakura smacked him in the side of the head.

Kunai appeared in everyone's hands except Reyna's. She would rely on her shadow techniques for the moment since she was surrounded by them. When still nothing happened, the group remained tense and at Kakashi order started to wrap up their camp. He took over for Reyna who was pacing the camp, amber eyes blazing against the renewed fire as she searched the darkness beyond with every sense she had. Kakashi stepped up beside her, handing her a pack which she took automatically, her gaze still trained on the darkness. He could tell the second she finally picked something up as she tensed and froze, her head snapping to the left, a snarl forming on her lips.

"He's running," she muttered, finally looking over at Kakashi.

"Move it! Naruto, Sakura!" he snapped and the two younger ninja slung packs over their backs and in a matter of seconds the four of them were in pursuit of their quarry with Reyna once again in the lead.

Reyna knew the second that it happened that they should never have chased an unknown enemy in the dead of night. However it wasn't just the four of them that it was going to affect. She skidded to a halt, already knowing it was too late as the air around the Leaf Ninja and the person they were pursuing sizzled. Growling and trying not to inhale the strange scent that was threatening to overwhelm her, her hands blurred as she frantically performed the seals for her Shadow Shield Dome while she spun back towards her teammates, arms out as she pulled them down with her and under what protection she could create. The air around them seemed to thicken, making it nearly impossible for them to breathe even as Reyna choked on the barrage of strange and unknown scents assaulting her.

It only lasted a few seconds, but for the small group of ninja it had seemed like a lifetime. Reyna was still reeling at the barrage of scents she had never before encountered, but the rest of her team recovered as soon as the air returned to normal. She managed to shake off her unease enough to release her technique and the four of them blinked at the bright sunlight that filtered through the trees around them.

"What the hell?" Naruto muttered, looking around him at the unfamiliar terrain and trees.

"What happened?" Sakura asked a second later as she too took in the area around them, the entire team on their guard now that they found themselves in unknown territory.

"He got caught in it too…but I can't filter his scent out with everything else," Reyna muttered, sounding almost apologetic at her inability to identify anything.

"Don't worry about it. Let's just figure out where we are first," Kakashi laid a hand on her shoulder, though she could tell he was just as worried as the rest of them considering what had just happened.

Reyna nodded and slowly the group pushed themselves to their feet, "Any idea which way to walk? And why the hell is it suddenly daylight. Now I have a headache on top of everything."

Kakashi chuckled and shrugged, "Guess we pick a direction. As far as the daylight? I have no idea, I'm sure we'll understand that as soon as we figure out what exactly happened."

"Why don't I just summon on of my toads? They'll get us home no problem!" Naruto exclaimed but Kakashi shook his head.

"I'll summon Pakkun as soon as we have some kind of information so that the Hokage knows we're at least alright and are still on mission. However, if we have ended up somewhere else in some other world we can't very well just leave a rogue ninja with even half the power that we know that this guy has here. We may as well just serve a death warrant to every living soul in…wherever it is that we are," he explained, meeting Naruto's eye.

Naruto nodded, as did Sakura, "Yeah, guess I never really thought about it that way."

"And I, for one, would like to at least find out where we ended up…and how…before I head home. At least that way if this happens again another team will have some idea as to what to expect," Reyna added.

"So which way?" Sakura asked again.

Reyna scented the light breeze and sneezed at the barrage of unknown scents, "Well, the only scent I'm recognizing right now is water and smoke. Smoke usually means a fire so I would think we head that way."

Reyna pointed to her right and glanced at Kakashi who nodded, "That's about as good of a plan as we're going to come up with right now. Until we know more we're just going to have to improvise and survive. If we find a village, best behaviour from everyone and we tell them nothing about where we come from or what we can do. The last thing we need is to start a panic and have to flee or fight. If they recognize our headbands, perfect; otherwise absolutely no chakra use unless absolutely necessary."

"What about the vast numbers of weapons we're all carrying?" Reyna asked.

"Damn…well we'll just explain that we're warriors from a distant land. If they don't buy that then we leave. Understood?"

The other three nodded and the group slowly started to walk in the direction Reyna had indicated she had picked up the scent of smoke. At best they'd find a village and get some answers, at worst they were walking into the very beginnings of a forest fire. Either way, they had made their choice and they were going to see it through.
