"Kaa-chan" came the high pitched wail, dropping what she was doing Atsuko gathered up her skirts and took off running to her 3 year old daughters room "What is it Tsukiko-chan" the woman huffed.
"Hoshi bad" Tsukiko pointed at the long black haired red eyed wolf in the corner of her room that was busy tearing up paper and making a general mess of everything like usual because he hadn't been properly trained yet.
"Hoshi" Atsuki whistled and the little wolf pup jumped up and ran straight for the den mother tongue lolling out of his mouth as he skidded across the floor to land in a tangle of legs in front of her.
"What did I tell you about destroying things" Atsuko scolds tapping Hoshi on the nose as he whines and stares up at her "No treats for dinner" Atsuko wags her finger before patting her leg and with that the three of them left the room.
'I suppose I should be happy that she didn't wait to warn me' Atsuko gives a sigh staring down at the toddler that was hobbling on short slightly chubby legs as her name meant her hair was as dark grey as the moon.
And the length touched the ground which often caused little Tsukiko to trip such as now which caused the little girl to burst into tears hearing his mistresses cries Hoshi bounded up to her and lapped at the scrape on Tsukiko's knee halting the streaming tears.
"I wuve ou Hoshi" Tsukiko threw her arms around the little wolfs head squeezing gently while running one of her hands down the length of his body while her light grey eyes sparkled in happiness.
Tears gone now Atsuko lifted Tsukiko up and set her on her feet again letting Tsukiko waddle her way into the dining room Hoshi helping her climb into a chair right as Setsuko came through the open entrance of their cave.
The man was covered in dirt and everything else but his grey cheek marks were as clean as a whistle "Go clean up and then we'll eat dinner" Atsuko ordered clicking her tongue in annoyance as her husband trailed mud, leaves and twigs through the room.
"I love you" he grinned cheekily at her pressing a chaste kiss to her lips before hurrying off to wash just as his wife had commanded he do as Atsuko started placing dinner on the table rapping Tsukiko gently on the kunckles when she reached out to take a handful of food.
Several minutes later Setsuko sat down in his chair at the stone table they had in their den and ate till their bellies were full to bursting when they were finished both adults noticed that little Tsukiko had curled up in her chair which was still much to large and fallen asleep.
The adults grinned at each other until Setsuko quietly pushed his chair out and smoothly picked up Tsukiko and Hoshi and strided into her room where he transfered the two onto the bed and covered them up with the grey furred blanket before leaving the room.
The next day after breakfast Tsukiko and Hoshi played a game of hide and seek while her parents had a meeting with the elders "Hoshi, I's gona fiwd ou" Tsukiko giggled out as she waddled from room to room looking under everything for the little wolf.
She had just looked under her own bed and clapped excitedly "I fouwd ou, I fouwd ou Hoshi" Tsukiko squealed just as a loud scream sounded outside and she quickly scrambled under the bed and Hoshi huddling against her shaking horribly.
A few minutes later a horrible smell entered her tiny sensitive nose so she quickly pinched her nose shut "TSUKIKO" came the yell from her father as he rushed through the cave looking for his daughter.
"Oto-san" Tsukiko cried finally crawling out from underneath her bed bottom lip wobbling as she hugged Hoshi close to her body the little wolf never once stopping in his shaking as Setsuko flew into her room.
"Come on Tsukiko" Setsuko quickly pulled the little girl and her wolf companion into his arms sealed all of her things into a scroll and ran from the cave just as it came crashing down little Tsukiko's eyes were wide in fright as she took in the scene outside the cave.
It was chaos, people were laying on the ground while trees burned all around them "Oto-san, wat hapen to Kaa-chan" Tsukiko clutched Hoshi tighter as Setsuko ran as hard as he could to get them clear of the area.
"She's just ahead Tsukiko" Setsuko smiled reassuringly as he slowed his pace eyes looking around for Atsuko who comes out of her hiding place along with her own wolf companion Midori, seeing Tsukiko in Setsuko's arms she breathes a sigh of relief.
With out a word Setsuko sits on the massive wolf behind Atsuko, Tsukiko and Hoshi situated in front as the 5 of them ran at top speed to the village that bordered their lands when the reached the gates of the Leaf Village and rushed by the guards.
Speeding down the streets as the sun rises in the sky they fly up the stairs to the Hokage's tower and into the mans office where he was in a meeting with Tsume Inuzuka "What is the meaning of this" Hiruzen stood at their entrance.
"Lord Hokage we bring you terrible news, we 3 are the last of the Uchu clan" Setsuko bows his head respectfully, shocking Hiruzen at the announcement "We wish for Tsukiko to be raised her within the village" Setsuko stares down at the sleeping girl his little pride and joy.
"I'll take her in, it's the least I could do for my sister clan" Tsume interjected herself into the conversation "I mean sure I have my own brat, but Kiba could do with a friend that isn't Akamaru" Tsume laughed boisterously.
"Thank you Tsume" Atsuko smiled sadly down at Tsukiko "Seal her memories away" Atsuko whispered softly after her husband transfered both girl and wolf over to Tsume "Make it a seal that can be easily removed" she nodded.
"Very well" Hiruzen blew out a puff of smoke which wafted out the open window a moment later Jiraiya came through he almost started his introductions when he realized one of the occupants in the room was sleeping.
"Seal her memories of us away, make it an easy seal to remove in the future" Atsuko bowed her head respectfully she'd heard of the legendary sannin and his prowess in sealing jutsu, she wouldn't find anyone better than Jiraiya.
They watched with baited breath as Jiraiya created a star within a moon on Tsukiko's ankle before running through a short set of hand signs "Seal" he called softly and with that Tsukiko's memories of her parents were gone.
When Tsume had left carrying their daughter and her life time companion, Atsuko and Setsuko made a decision to go into hiding until their daughter came seeking them for answers, handing over a scroll that held the information on where they'd be the two vanished from the office.
