Kit: Alright, I guess I teased you guys enough. Time for the actual story to start. Since my others have hit hard spots, I'll be posting chapters to this to keep my readers entertained. Be assured, I am working on getting through those bumps. I'm highly suprised that Chronicles of Riddick: Viper's Story is getting a shitload of views. I'm pleased as well that it's so popular. As for my first fic, Strength Within, I think I'll rewrite it, it sounds to marysueish. I may also upload one of my Hellsing fics, if I can choose one. There's like about three different versions. I have no idea how it happened.

To those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas and to those who don't, Happy Holidays! Happy New Year to all if I don't upload again by then.

Now, on with the fic!

Chapter 1

Kisara walked out of Kirigakure, The village Hidden in the Mist, headed for her special place. It was quiet and perfect for meditating and working on her chakra levels. She waved to the guards and walked down the path that only she knew, her wolf pup, Rin trotting behind her. When she reached her special place, Kisara sat down on her rock, folded her feet up under her and closed her eyes, relaxing into a meditative state. Rin flopped down beside her and went to sleep.

While Rin was fast asleep and Kisara was unresponsive to the outside world, they never sensed the change in the atmosphere. The ground rumbled, awakening Rin who bolted to all fours. One look around and the black pup knew something was wrong. She proceded to awaken her mistress from her trance by licking her face. Kisara was unresponsive so Rin did the next thing that came into her little head, she bit her mistress. She tried not to draw blood, but when Kisara failed to react, she sank her little fangs in deeper. Finally Kisara yelped and rubbed her arm. She looked down at Rin and the pup looked back apolagetically. Her built- up chakra sensed the air, making her look around. She felt the rumbling under her. Something was going to happen. Thinking fast, she snatched up Rin and ran for the highest point near Kiri. She made it in time to see a large wave sweep over her village. When it receded, there was almost nothing left of Kirigakure. Kisara stared wide eyed at the village she called home, now in ruins. The shock of losing her family and friends finally hit her and she fell to her knees, her hands over her face, crying her sorrow and loss. Rin sat on her haunches and lifted her nose to the dark sky in a mournful howl. Cried out, Kisara held Rin when the pup crawled into her lap, whining.

Grief-striken, Kisara refused to leave the area that surrounded the ruins of her beloved Kirigakure. Her special place became her home. A few days later of having to put up with her mistress and her pitiful ways as she refused to pick up the peices of her scattered life and move on, Rin ran off to seek help for them.

Kisara was wandering the forest she had come to know so well when Rin dashed back to her, looking happier. She was wet from the rain, but happier since the incident. Deep in her sadness, Kisara didn't acknowldge the wolf cub. She looked up through the pouring rain when noise followed the pup. Rin looked up at Kisara and yipped, tongue loling from open mouth. Dogs followed the pup and a tall human followed them. The dogs gathered around her, sniffing. She looked back at them, violet eyes empty of all emotion.

"We need to get her dry and warm before she catches sick." The small brown pug who appeared to be the leader of the pack of dogs spoke to his master.

He nodded and addressed the pack at his feet, "A few of you scout around and see if you can find someplace dry to hole up until this rain stops." Three of the dogs nodded and ran off in different directions. Dimly, Kisara watched them go then looked back at the man. Emotionless violet eyes slowly processed what she was seeing. He was a little taller than her with silver hair. The headband that covered his left eye told her he came from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Konohagakure. A mask covered the lower half of his face.

"What's your name?" He asked softly.

Kisara opened her mouth a few times, trying to get her throat to work, then shut it. One of the pack nudged her hand and she looked down at it. It was a white dog that had a puppish air about him. He licked her hand and her hand raised up of its own will and patted his head. Touching the dog loosened her voice box and she spoke. "My name is Kisara Masarikki. Did Rin seek you out?"

He knelt down and scratched the pup behind her ears. "She came running into Konoha, yipping her head off. Obviously, something was wrong with her human partner as wild wolves, even pups, won't run into an occupied village acting like she did. I called out my own pack and had Pakkun translate for me. She told us the both of you were away from your village and escaped the devestation of losing your lives when it was flooded. She came looking for help as you refused to leave your old home. I went before the Hokage, and she sent me after you to bring you back." He explained.

Kisara looked at him, tears in her eyes. "I don't want to leave my home." She stated as one of the dogs returned.

"We checked out what is left of Kiri. There's hardly anything left to be called home. Come back to Konoha and pick up the peices of your life." He told her softly.

"I'm not leaving my home!" Kisara declared. Her eyes blazed and changed. Her eyes were no longer black pupil with violet iris, they now looked much like the Sharingan with black pupil and three comma marks around it. The only difference was where the Sharingan was red, her eyes were amber. He masked his suprise, it looked like she had a Kenki Gekki, or bloodline limit. He wondered if she knew. Probably not, he mused. He sighed, this was going to be hard. But he would win her around eventually. Maybe Juben could help him with convincing her.

"How about we get out of the rain for now? You can think about returning to Konoha with me and the pack while we wait for this rain to go away." He told her and she nodded dimly, rising to follow the dog that had returned. She followed him while Rin and the white dog she had petted followed her with the rest of the pack ranged around and behind them. They arrived at a cave Kisara had been thinking about exploring before the very water that had surrounded her village had taken it. The other two dogs waited inside with a small pile of firewood.

"Very good." He told the dogs, placing some sticks in a pile and lighting them. Once the fire was blazing, warming everyone around it, the largest dog picked up Rin by her scruff, plopped down near the fire, and proceded to dry the cub. She didn't even jump when he dropped a blanket in her lap, she kept staring into the flames, temperarialy distracted from the mayhem that had occurred not long ago. He looked at her for a moment then picked up the blanket and wrapped it around her shoulders. At the contact, she looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears and she began crying again. Not certain as to wether she would allow human contact right now, he let Juben lick her face. He was glad that one of the dogs had taken to her. Of course, the white dog took a liking to just about everyone he met. It was just in his nature to be loving and he hoped that Juben's trait will help him convince Kisara to come back with him. Kisara threw her arms around his neck and sobbed into his neck fur, darkening with her tears. He checked on the cub and discovered she was alseep between Bull's large paws. Bull was asleep himself, his large head beside Rin. He could swear the cub looked pleased with herself for finding help for her mistress. He dared to hope that Kisara decided to return with him and the dogs.

"Comming to Konoha would help her pick up the peices of her former life and move on. The sorrow of losing her home would always be there, but with friends like Naruto and his pals, life would be worth living." He was unaware of saying these thoughts out loud. Kisara heard and thought about it. It was true that losing someone or something never completely left you, but having great friends made those sad memories bearable. Life was worth living then. Since she lost her friends in the destruction of Kiri, she had thought that she could never be herself again. But if she returned with him, she would have a chance at a new life and new friends. Before sleep took her, she decided she would leave her former home for a new one.

A while later, when the rain had stopped, he checked on her. She had cried herself to sleep and had fallen sideways. She was now curled up on her side, hands pillowed under her head. Even in sleep, her beautiful face was sad. He was amused to see Juben stretched out beside her on his back, half under the blanket and snoring softly. He noticed her hand peaking out from under the blanket where it was wrapped around Juben, holding him to her side. Standing from where he was reading beside the fire, he walked outside to enjoy the fresh rain soaked air. He always enjoyed comming outside after a rainstorm. It relaxed him.

"It's getting late." Pakkun remarked from his feet.

He nodded. "We'll spend the night here and head back in the morning."

"Do you think she'll come back with us?" The pug asked.

"I hope so. She needs to pick up the peices of her former life and move on. Comming back to Konoha and making friends with Naruto and his lot will help her. Living with the loss of one's home is a sad burden to bear and friends will help her bear that burden when the memories hit." He replied.

Pakkun looked back, seeing Juben sprawled out beside Kisara. "Juben seems to have taking a liking to her."

"Juben takes a liking to everyone he meets. And I'm taking advange of it this time." His master retorted.

"Hoping Juben will convince her to return with us?" Pakkun inquired.

"He doesn't even need to talk to her, just being right there, comforting her should be enough." He nodded.

Pakkun nodded. "I almost feel bad for Juben, seeing as he's being used. But it's for the best of Kisara's welfare that he is." The human nodded, knowing that the dogs hated to be used like Juben was. But he was right, it was for the best for Kisara. He yawned and the brown pug looked up at him. "Get some rest, a few of us will keep watch."

He bent down and rubbed the dog's ears. "Thanks Pakkun."

It's official, Wolves of the Unchihas is now under way! Hope you guys enjoy the ride. As usual, I own nothing except Kisara and her wolf cub Rin.
