? POV

"Promise me you will find me" I said to a spiky brown haired boy.

"I promise" he said as he wiped the tears off my face.

"Me too!" barks a small voice. "Yes of course you too Akamaru" I giggle, until the tears make their way back down my cheek as I stared at the ground so my blonde bangs covered my blue eyes. I couldn't look at him. I just couldn't. I see a drop of water fall to the ground at the boy's feet. I slowly look back up and see tears falling down the boy's cheeks. "Kiba…." I say worriedly. I had never seen the normally loud mouth boy cry.

"You're coming now girl. No more time" said a harsh ruff voice from behind me. Come on Izumi…. Stay strong! For Kiba! Even if it kills you…. "Come on Kimi, we have to go" I said to my little dark grey wolf. She looked up at me with her sad yellow eyes and gave out a moan. "I know I know" I whisper to her "Please I know you don't want Kiba or Akamaru to get hurt and neither do I". She bowed her head and followed me towards the four behind me. I stood in front of my kidnappers.

"Goodbye Kiba….. Akamaru….." I said slowly turning my back to them. I didn't want to see what was coming. Seconds after that I heard two thuds, I knew it was Kiba and Akamaru's bodies dropping to the ground unconscious. This is all my fault. Then I heard Kimi's soft moan and it all went black.

…..8 years later…..

All I could do was run. I had no other choice. Fending off two of them was that hard but six. You have got to be kidding me. I'd been running for hours now but they were still on my tail. I knew I was getting closer to my destination and the enemy seemed to know it too. They had begun running faster because when I got to my destination they couldn't get me. Not for the state of becoming known to the world too early.

"Kimi" I stated.

"Got it!" she knew exactly what to do. We both sped up as to not let the enemy gain any ground on us. I was only a couple of minute away from my destination but I could feel my chakra supply running on empty. Shoot! I knew that even if I did make it I would pass out immanently but if I slowed down now I would get caught. I had to keep going.

I ran out of the clearing and sunlight poured onto my skin. I could tell they weren't coming out of the thick layer of tree but instead were following me along the edge. I could see the gate now. The Leaf Village, it's been too long. I just had to get to the gate. Then Kimi could give them the note I wrote earlier and everything would be fine.

I could feel myself being to grow dizzy. Shoot! Not now! I'm nearly there! "Kimi…. Please make sure they get that letter I gave you…. Please" I said to her. I knew she had enough chakra to last. She didn't have to use her chakra to move this fast. "Of course Milady!" she barked back. "Thank you" I managed to whisper before I fell to the down right in front of the gates.

"Who is that?" I heard a man say as two of them ran towards me.

"I don't know" said the other "but what is dog thing?" "What's this? A letter?" exclaimed the other. Thank you Kimi…..

I slowly opened my eyes only to shut them again as light poured into them. I let out a moan. "Thank god Milady! I was so worried!" Kimi barked. "…Kimi…" I managed to get out as I slowly re-opened my eyes. I was in a small white room in a bed next to a window. "Where am I?" I said still looking around the room. "The hospital" she barked. Right…. Of course…. There was a knock on the door. A young nurse walked in.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you but I heard barking" she said "are you feeling better?" "Yes, thank you, a lot better actually. And that was only Kimi, sorry for disturbing you" I said. "Oh no, it's fine. The Hokage would like to see you as soon as you feel up to it, are you ready?" she questioned. I slowly got out of bed. "Yes, thank you" I said.

"Ah… Well… I apologize for this, the Hokage has read your letter but he needs to see you in person to make sure, so until then we are going to have to put hand cuffs on you and you will be escorted by ninja. These rules apply to you're… um…" she said, nervously. "Wolf and very well" I said holding out my hands for the hand cuffs. They put hand cuffs on me and a mussel on Kimi, and she hated it.

"Sorry Kimi, but it has to be done. Please behave" I said, sorrowfully. "I will try, Milady…" she sighed. I smiled sadly. We were slowly walked through the village, with stares and whispers all around. I sighed. "He's not around, right Kimi?" I whispered, looking around everywhere hoping that he wasn't there. "No, they are not, Milady. Please calm yourself" she sighed. I nodded slowly. She was right, as always.

We finally arrived at the tall red building with the village symbol on it in the centre of the village. We slowly climbed the stairs until and walked through the building until we arrived at two large red doors.

"Enter" said a familiar voice from inside. The ninja led us inside to see an older man in white and red clothing with a white and red hat with the village symbol in the middle, the third Hokage. "Please release them and then you may leave" the Hokage said calmly, yet not taking his eyes off Kimi and I.

"But sir! She could be the ene-" One of them started. "I have seen what I need to now, please release them" he said calmly again. I don't know how he does it. If I was Hokage I would have thrown them into a wall already. They nodded, released us and left, leaving just the Hokage, Kimi and I in the room. "Please take a seat" he said gesturing to a chair in front of him. I nodded, taking the seat with Kimi sitting at my side.

"It has been a while, my children" he smiled. I smiled at his words. He had included Kimi as one of his children. I had always hated it when Kimi was ignored. "It has, hasn't it" I said smiling "I guess this means you believe my letter?" "How could I not? You wrote about things that only the real Izumi Tanaka would know about. And blue fang mark on your left cheek as well. It was the symbol of the Tanaka clan" he said smiling. "Thank you, Hokage-sama" I smiled.

His attitude changed completely within seconds, turning more serious. "Now children, is it true that they took you? The Akatsuki?" My smile turned into a frown. Kimi let out a low growl at their name. I gave her a sad look. I sighed. "Yes, it is true" I stated no emotion shown on my face. He sighed. "May I ask what happened child?" he asked.

"They took Kimi and I to their hideout blind folded, they have been training us there for the last 8 years since they realised they could not use my power themselves. They recently started trying to make us official members. Then I realised that they seemed to have these plans for Kimi and I, I decided that my escape couldn't wait and longer. It had taken them, 7 years to finally stop following me around making sure that I wasn't going to escape. So we took the chance one night when the Leader and his right hand man were away. But on my way here they realised I was gone and came after me, six of them. I only just managed to get here" I said.

He seemed to be in thought. "This power you mentioned is it the same as when your clan…" I rubbed my arm nervously avoiding eye contact with him "I see... Please show me" I nodded. I knew this was coming. I closed my eyes and slowly opened them after a short amount of time. My blue eyes glowed a bloody red (same dojustu as Ranmaru in Naruto episode 152, anime only).

"The Ranmaru… a rare ability as you are the only one to have it. It possesses the ability to see through objects, cast irresistible genjustu, counter other dojustu, and being able to predict future attacks by an opponent when activated. A very impressive technique"

He finally sighed and gave us a smile. "Welcome back Izumi and Kimi Tanaka" he smiled. I have always considered Kimi family. Like the Inuzuka clan each member of the Tanaka clan had their own partner, except instead of dogs we had wolves. "It's good to be back" I smiled. "It really is!" Kimi barked.
