Hi. ^_^ This is my second Fanfic... and I am really looking forward to this story. School is starting at the end of the month, so my updates will be very widespread. I honestly hope that doesn't happen, so keep our fingers crossed!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, just the one or two characters I've imagined. ;D

ENJOY

Chapter One

Right now I'm watching Itachi Uchiha and Kisame something-or-other spar. They don't know I'm watching them, and they also don't know who, or what, I am. To make things short, I'm a Goddess. A Wolf Goddess. I can transform into a human or transform into a wolf. Doesn't really matter. But what does matter is why I'm watching Itachi and his partner train.

I was called into the realm of the Gods for a mission. According the higher ups, I'm supposed to do whatever Itachi asks of me. That could be killing him, helping him, or just staying with him. Why? Well, the Gods have waited fora millennia to see some certain events unfold. I'm a pretty young God compared to them; my mother was one of the oldest, but she passed away about 200 years ago, leaving me to grow up and learn by myself. It wasn't so bad, but it was different. So here I am, a 300-year-old Goddess at the mercy of a human. And not just any human; a human who slaughtered his entire clan for the sake of a village.

Everyone upstairs knows the real reasons behind his actions, and some are willing to stand by him. Others want to watch the human world burn. So heaven is divided, fun. I have no preference as to who wins, as long as me and mine are out of harms way. My mother gave birth to all the wolves of this world, and it is my job to protect them.

As of now, I'm disguised as a fully black wolf with ice blue eyes. I do have to stand out, and this is a great way to do it. The power radiating off of the Uchiha is amazing, even to me. How a human can hold so much power is a mystery.

Maybe that's why I'm watching him... to find out how he can hold so much power...

With a loud crash Kisame was on his back, hands held in front of him in surrender. Not too different from wolves; when we submit to an alpha, we lie down and stay down until he or she passes us by. And we never look each other in the eye... that is just a mess waiting to happen.

Itachi and Kisame have begun to move back into their base. From what I've heard, they are involved in a group called Akatsuki, which is a very popular and dangerous group. Other than that I don't know much about them, or why Itachi joined them after he massacred his clan. Deciding it was time to move, I followed them into the cave, acting like nothing was wrong. Many of the members of this organization have seen me lurking around, so they are now used to seeing me. However, this is the first time I've ever entered the base itself.

"Yo, Itachi, you've got a stalker..." I looked at Itachi, seeing him turn around in disinterest. Kisame murmured something to him and kept walking, beckoning me with his hand.

Aw, crap... have I been discovered?

Sniffing the air I walked forward cautiously. Kisame and Itachi stopped right in front of a large door. I could see a small amount of chakra being used to turn the handle.

Gee, heavy door much?

For the second time in my life I was unsure of what to do. If I had been discovered, I would probably be killed upon entering the room, and if I haven't, what are they gonna do?

Sitting on my haunches I waited by the door, if they remembered I was here, they'd probably invite me in. Throwing his coat onto the ground, Itachi turned and whistled, patting the bed. Ears down and tail between my hind legs, I crept forward, trying to appear as submissive as possible; if this turned into a fight, we'd all die.

I jumped onto the bed and sat, watching Itachi and Kisame carefully. My heart was beating fast and Each movement was measured with precise accuracy; if they got a weapon, I'd know.

"You can show yourself; we won't hurt you." Itachi sounded bored, and Kisame looked at him in complete and utter surprise. Having no choice, I transformed into my human form, sitting with my back against the wall.

"You found me out..." I stated. He knew, and I was at the hands of Itachi Uchiha. He sniffed and took a seat in a chair across the room.

I glanced at Kisame, who's face gave away the uttermost surprise. I stifled a laugh and raised an eyebrow at him.

"What? Never seen a Wolf God before? We change all the time." I winked at him, seeing his slight discomfort. "Anyway, Itachi, it's good to see you're not as dense as I thought..."

I narrowed my eyes slightly at him, taking in his reaction to my insult. He just closed his eyes and took a breath. He couldn't be older than 17 or 18. I tilted my head and whistled low. Opening an eye he gazed at me, wondering what I was thinking.

I wonder what I look like... I haven't seen my human form in decades...

"You must have been young when they gave you that command..." I knew exactly what I was saying, and I was surprised when he didn't through a kunai at me.

"Kisame, leave," Itachi commanded his partner. "I need to talk with our wolf friend..."

Peeking at Kisame, I watched him turn a little red in the face as he picked up his deadly sword. He muttered unintelligible words and left in a huff.

"Nice to finally be alone, eh Itachi?" I smiled at him and rested my back on the bed, my eyes never leaving him.

"You know about the command. What else do you know?" He obviously wasn't one to beat around the bush.

"I know more than any human, and yet, I don't know how you're able to have so much power. There hasn't been a human that can utilize such power... not since the early days of your clan." I refused to let him know that I knew everything. And I was now his puppet. The thought disgusted me; the last Wolf God is no more than a pet to this petty human. The least I could do is have fun with him...

"Answer my question; What do you know?" He gave nothing away, and that was infuriating. Taking a deep breath, I began to answer the question.

"Not one for games? Let's see, I know about Danzou, and the uprising; which never happened, and I know what you want your dear little brother to do to you, even if you're innocent." I looked at the ground as I finished. Life and death isn't meant for humans. That was meant for us, not for measly humans.

"Why are you here?" He didn't sound upset, but it was obvious he wasn't sure of what to do. I stood up from the bed and saluted him, winking in the process.

"I have been ordered by the highest Gods to follow your every command and serve you. Unfortunately, you cannot send me away. I am to help you in anyway you see fit." Standing in my human form was awkward, so I sat down again right after. Four legs are way better than two.

He didn't answer me for quite a while. I wasn't sure what to think; Did I upset him, is he going to try to kill me, what?

"Very well. Since the Gods ordered you, you may follow me, however, you are not to reveal your human form to anyone but Kisame and myself. If anyone else finds out that you're a God, they will try to kill you for your power," I scoffed at the last part, as if a human could kill me. "Do you have any questions?"

Unable to stop myself, I asked him one simple question; "Why are you in Akastuki, you must despise them..."

His calm demeanor wasn't broken at my question.

"I am spying... I will bring them down, whether it's through other people or if it's me by myself." I nodded; that was a good reason to be in this organization. He was the most selfless human I have ever met. This may not be as bad as I thought...

"Very well, is there a place I can clean up? I've been watching you for days, and I haven't been able to get a nice and pretty for my debut as your pet..." Pet... as if I was something so simple. I had two words that bugged me more than anything; pet and dog. I absolutely hated being called a dog. I was nothing close. Dogs were tamed so long ago, and I am nothing like those mongrels.

Itachi stood and walked over to the door, preparing the chakra in his hand. "There's a bathroom by the closet. Don't take too long; we've got some places to be."

Nodding I went over to the door and closed it, praying there would be something that smelt good. Opening every cabinet, I found a linen cloth for drying and some pink syrupy stuff in a bottle. Taking off the cap it smelt like flowers in spring. Twisting the faucet I felt the water that came out. As the water got warmer I took off my top and black pants, setting them neatly on a silver bar. Glancing at the mirror I took in my human appearance; I had mid back length black hair with light brown streaks going down the left side. My nose was pointed and small, and my eyebrows full. My mouth was small and firm, with the ends going downwards.

I guess by human standards, I look average. That is a very good thing.

The warm water relaxed my tense muscles and cleared my head. I would need to think of a very human, very simple name. I had never had a name... and I seemed important to have one since humans named most of their pets. Stepping out from under the spray of water I turned the faucet until it was off.

I wonder if Itachi and Kisame are back...

I cracked the door open slightly and took a quick peek. Itachi was sitting in his chair and Kisame was walking around, ranting about something trivial. I figured it would be best to come out in my black wolf form.

Closing the door, I took a deep breath and calmed myself. In a matter of seconds, I was closer to the ground and more stable. My nose could pick up every scent in this room, and it wasn't good. Shaking out my now glossy fur, I growled, letting them know I needed to be let out...

Note to self: Open door before changing. Ugh, at least in my world there are sliding doors...

The handle turned and Kisame opened the door with a quizzical look on his face. Slipping between him and the door I trotted over to where Itachi was sitting. I lied down at his feet and rested my head on my fore paws.

"Itachi, are you sure that she should come with us? I meant, if she dies, won't the other Gods be on our asses?" Kisame leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. I growled in protest to his statement... I would not be killed so easily! I am a God for crying out loud! It takes a lot more than a chakra fused human to finish me off.

"She'll be fine. Besides, maybe she'll help us bring down Akatsuki..." Itachi finished the conversation, and stood. "Let's go, we've got a lot to do, and I have a job for you... Do you have a name?" He looked at me, his Sharingan, seeing into my soul. Those eyes made me uncomfortable, so I looked away, shaking my head in the process.

"Very well, we will name you..." Itachi looked to Kisame who shrugged. "I will not be the one to name a God. It's an honor left to those who are brave enough..."

I huffed in appreciation. At least he knew how to treat me... I looked to Itachi who was thinking. "How about Kana. It's a name worthy of a Wolf Goddess, and I'm sure you'd appreciate it." Itachi looked down at me, awaiting a response.

Kana, huh? Kana... it's a name meaning powerful... Hmm. I like it.

Pointing my ears up I looked at him with a nod. It was a good name; I'd have to thank him for it later. Grabbing their cloaks, they held open the door for me and then closed it with a loud bang. I followed Itachi with Kisame right behind me. The halls were narrow, and long. I could hear the shouts of the members coming from rooms down the hall. Taking the first left, we exited the base and began our trek to wherever we were going.

I'm seriously gonna have to figure out a way to talk to them... I can't talk in my freaking wolf form at all...

We took off at a run and began our journey.

So there you have it, the first chapter. Review and let me know what you think! ^_^
