Lycanthrope

Chapter 2

Sasuke's discovery

C.A: "Sorry about my sucky formatting. I'll try and do better this time."

"Finally a day off!" Naruto said while taking another bite of his beloved ramen. He, of course, was eating at the Ichiraku noodle shop.

"Don't you have ninja lessons?" The woman worker said as she gave Naruto his 3rd bowl of chicken ramen.

"Nope Kakashi-sensei gave us a day off." He told her with a mouth full of delicious noodles.

"Oh. I see." She replied.

Sakura walked through the forest looking for her missing sensei. "I can't believe I forgot to tell him that his injuries though healed could still pose a threat." She mumbled to herself. I'm such an IDIOT Inner Sakura screeched. "I've been walking around this godforsaken forest for hours and where is that pervert? Obviously not here." She came across the same place they were attacked and was surprised to find Sasuke looking over the body of what was supposed to be the wolf. Instead of looking at the corpse of the dead wolf in its place was the dead form of a human body or to be more exact Tazuna's dead body.

"Uhh, Sasuke?" She asked getting his attention.

"Huh? Oh hey Sakura." After getting a better look at the bridge builder's body, Sakura could see the scars from the kunai left on it. The monsters jaw was soaked with blood, Kakashi's blood.

"Sasuke? Is this..." She began to ask him sounding worried.

"Yeah, it is. The bridge builder wasn't killed by the wolf as I assumed." He began.

"The bridge builder is the wolf." Sakura finished for him.

"Or was the wolf." Sasuke explained. "I was thinking transformation jutsu, but the bridge builder was no ninja. He would have had no reason to attack us." Sasuke said.

"You're right." Sakura replied.

"So, now I am thinking lycanthrope." Sasuke told her.

"Lycanthrope?" Sakura asked confused.

"Werewolf."

"Oh." Sakura gasped. "Kakashi-sensei! It bit him!" Sakura said in a panic.

"You're right and the only known cure is to kill the one that bit you with your own two hands." Sasuke told her. "But you and Naruto killed this one!" "Meaning we have a BIG problem."

"I have to go tell Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura exclaimed.

"That would be for the best." Sasuke whispered as Sakura left in a hurry to tell her sensei before it became too late.

Meanwhile Kakashi was having problems of his own. What the heck is wrong with me? he thought as he threw up more blood. The curse, its flowing much faster than I expected. I thought I'd have more time but... Kakashi faded out as he fainted from the extreme loss of blood.

xX Flashback Xx

"Mommy? Mommy! Where are you?" A six year old Kakashi said looking for his mother in the intense flames. "Mommy! Mommy where are you?" He repeated but got no answer. "Mom-" He was cut off when he tripped over some debris and fell into a corner. Kakashi coughed hard several times but he couldn't breath from the smoke caused by the burning flames.

"Kakashi!" A woman said walking toward him.

"Mommy!" He chirped happily.

"Are you okay?" She asked calmly.

"Yeah, are you okay mommy?"

"Yes. I'm just fine." She said and reached her arms out to hold him when a large silver wolf lunged at her biting her neck tearing it open. Kakashi just stared, confused at what just happened. The wolf looked at him and walked away.

"Mommy!" Kakashi said and ran to his mother. "Mommy? Mommy you can wake up now! The big, mean doggy is gone now!" He said not realizing what just happened, but soon it rang in him that he was all alone. And that he would always be alone.

--------C.A: "I think that one was good."

----Kakashi: "..."

--------C.A: "Hey are you okay?"

----Kakashi: "...Sniffle sniffle..."

-------C.A: "Aw, I'm sorry. Well if no one has seen 'Ginger Snaps' and likes horror movies, I HIGHLY suggest it. Well, I have to cheer Kakashi-chan up so this one's cut short. My foot fell asleep. Don't you hate that?"
