"This is not what I signed up for!"

"This is no picnic for me either, princess!" Kiba growled slightly as he dragged her by the collar of her jacket through the village. The looks of the villagers making a slight blush tint her cheeks.

"If you want to live here then you have to do as the Hokage tells you and her orders are for you to help some of the clans out and see what your really like. I wish I wasn't stuck with you for a whole day but what can ya do?"

Natsuko crossed her arms as she was being dragged along. With all the begging she did, it was still near impossible to get out of the day she had to spend with Kiba and his family. It wasn't his family that she didn't like. It was him. Ever since she turned up at the village he had been rude and blunt towards her. Of course she was used to it, however he did it in a way that made her feel as if he was trying to make her react.

When they reached the entrance to his home, he stood her up on her feet and looked down at her with a serious look in his eyes.

"If you insult my clan at all, I won't hesitate to hurt you. Are we clear?" Natsuko looked up at him and stared right into his eyes with her black orbs.

"I thought I told you I have not intention of hurting anyone in this village" The only response she got from him was a slow grunt before he opened the door. As They both walked in they were met by five dogs. A huge smile came onto Natsuko's face and she kneeled down to them.

"Well aren't you three a group of cuties! The village hidden in the rain don't have many animals because of the constant rain." She said as she stroked the dogs gently. The look in her eyes was one of happiness; the complete opposite that Kiba had seen from her earlier that day.

The image of her crying and passionately speaking about how she was created to be a monster was stuck in Kiba's mind but he had no clue why this girl was in his head. It wasn't as if he cared, did he? Before long Kiba shook his head and grunted. "Be careful"

Natsuko looked up at him with a sweet smile before looking back at the dogs in front of her " I told you, I'd never hurt them. I may have been raised until a young age by a horrid group of shinobi but I have a heart"

When she stood up, Kiba glared at her and as soon as he was about to argue with her about her statement, two kunoichi entered the room and walked over to the pair. It wasn't until the oldest of the two walked over to her and stood in her personal space that Natsuko gulped loudly when she looked up at her. The look on the kunoichi's face was one that was very stern and it made Natsuko feel quite nervous.

"Village?"

"Rain"

"Rank?"

"Chunin"

"Chakra nature?"

"Water"

"kekkei genkai?"

"None-e"

When Tsume had finished her integration of the visitor, a loud laugh erupted from her as she stood back.

"Don't look so terrified! We don't bite..much!

Her remark make Kiba groan and roll his eyes slowly. "Mum! She's from the rain, I don't trust her"

Kiba's words brought a frown to his mothers face and she hit him round the head. "If the Hokage let her in then she must me at least safe! Plus she's cute"

Kiba grumbled something about Natsuko being a little cute but it was nearly inaudible to the guest, however Hana seemed to have heard it and smiled widely.

"Has my little brother got a little crush on this sweet rain shinobi" As soon as she had said those words Kiba yelled and Natsuko developed a red blush on her cheeks.

"As if! I still don't trust her, even if she was treated badly in her own village." Natsuko glared at him before sighing and bowing to the two kunoichi in front of her.

"It is very nice to meet you both. I am Natsuko, I have been ordered to help some of the clans in the village as part of my trail period. It would be my honour to help you."

Both Tsume and Hana glanced at each other before smiling down at the girl. "Your too formal, but I'm sure there is some things around that you can help with"

And so with quite resistance from Kiba, Natsuko spent the day around the Inuzuka household helping with the odd jobs and errands that they needed. As the sun began to set, Natsuko was taking a break by sitting on the roof of the house.

"The sun set looks so much more beautiful without rain" Natsuko said to herself, out loud. It wasn't until she heard a voice behind her that she jumped slightly.

"You've never seen it like this?" Kiba said as he sat a distance away from her.

Natsuko was hesitant to respond to him as they way he had treated her since she arrived was less than friendly.

"The rain blocks it" She said bluntly as she stared out over the village. It was so beautiful to her, the sky scrapers of her home village were nothing compared to the wooden buildings that littered the leaf village.

Kiba laid down on the roof and looked up at the sky, waiting for the stars to start appearing. Throughout the silence Natsuko tried to think of something to say that wouldn't make him angry and lash out at her. She looked down at her feet as she brought her knees into her chest.

"I understand why you hate me, I'm a monster. Not only that but I'm from a land were it rains constantly. Some say it's as if the land is always crying. I believe that." She said as she slowly looked up from her feet and to the sky with tears forming in her eyes.

"I came her to find somewhere that I could be safe and make my home. I wanted to be away from the people that raised me and the villagers that treated me as if I was some kind of monster that wasn't human."

Natsuko looked over at Kiba with a sad smile and a tear running down her cheek.

"But even so, even if you hate me I'll never take it out on you or hurt you because of it. I have a lot of hate inside me but I would never led anyone be the victim of it,why? Because I know how much it can hurt. So even if you and the others hate me. I want you to know that I would still consider you a friend. I know that's silly." When she had stopped talking she wiped the tear away and gazed up at the faint stars.

Silence filled the air as Kiba began to register what she had said, was she really that kind hearted that she'd take all of the hate people gave her? And who was this group of people that abandon her? There were so many questions that Kiba wanted to ask her but he knew he'd feel like a fool if he suddenly started acting nice towards her. Before he could wrap his head around the words that she had spoken, Natsuko had stood up.

"I must go, Kakashi has me on a curfew" And with one more look towards Kiba with a small smile she had jumped off the roof and used her incredible speed to jump from building to building back to her temporary home.

Kiba made a facial expression that matched the confusion that was circulating in his mind as he scratched his head before he muttered to himself.

"What is she?"
