A/N:Took me while to write this because I was feeling hell'a uninspired. My brain has been fried with nothing for so long. I can't draw, I can't write. I just feel fricken lazy.
Nathrezium: Thank you for the feedback. I'll try to write the story more descriptive. That has always been my challenge when it came to writing.

Chapter 4: Attack
Hours went by. Parents taking their children's one by one. Ready to leave the chilling snow covered play ground. Some had already left. Most still waiting.
The day having been joyful and pleasant for the young Naruto, but as Hinata's father grabbed her and dragged her away from Naruto, It just brought him back to the realisation that all good things have to end at some point.
It saddened him that his friend could not stay for long, but there was nothing he could really do. Hinatas father probably just wanted her home, to protect her. Maybe from him...
Slowly and sluggish, Naruto walked towards Kuro. It was a bummer that they day had to end, but atleast he still had Kuro.
Kuro watched the boy intensely, patiently waiting for him to reach the tree she sat upon. She was in no rush truthfully. The weather was no bother to her and everywhere he went she would go as well. He was like a sort of brother to her.
Finally he reached the tree she later on. He looked up searching for the tree trunk she would be laying on and finally spotted her.
"Let's go home Kuro. I think I'm sleepy now". Naruto yawned, tiredly rubbing the sleep away from his eyes. Giving Kuro a weak and exhausted smile.
She stared at the boy for while then jumped down the branch she had been laying on. Walking towards Naruto.
They were both exhausted, but more so Naruto. The wolf dreaded having such a weak body at the moment. She wished she could carry him back home, but she wasn't strong enough to. She was still considered as part of the younglings, therefore her body wasn't was strong as it could be nor was it useful.
The boy did not seem to mind thou, as he smiled gently down towards her. Lifting her, he began carrying her. With that they began to head back home.
On the way back he kept talking to her all about his new friend.
"Wasn't Hina super nice! She's the first girl to ever talk to me". Naruto spoke. Smiling widely at the thought of his new friend.
The wolf rolled her eyes. She did not care much for the conversation little girl he had meet. Naruto was one off those people who constantly talked and although she really cared about him. She was really tired and not in the mood for any sound.
Soon they began to walk in silence, looking at their surroundings. Careful as to not get in trouble. She looked up at the beautiful moon. Taking in all its beauty and glow. The moon was a perfect sphere shape tonight. Shining bright down at them.
"You like that don't you?". Naruto asked. Smiling gently down at Kuro. "The moon looks really pretty doesn't it. It reminds me of you". Naruto whispered, tightening his hold on Kuro.
The wolf looked up at him, and gave him a slight lick to his cheeks. Showing him her love for him. He smiled down at her, and they carried on with their journey back to their apartment.
He could finally say he wasn't alone. Before the wolf had showed up in his life, he was nothing but a sad boy, who yearned for people to notice him. Now he finally had someone. Someone who he could call family. Someone who loved and cared for him.
Although the wolf could not talk, something in his heart could understand the wolf.
The walk was short, but finally they were back inside the boys apartment.
Gently placing Kuro on the hard wooden floor, Naruto in a sluggish manner walked to his bed. Dragging his feet tiredly on the wood. Finally he flopped down on the bed, as soon as he was close enough to it.
Too tired to really cover himself up. The wolf slowly and silently walked towards him. Hopping on top of the orange sheet. Biting her teeth down at the cover, and pulling it towards Naruto. She moved from left to right until the covers fully covered the sleeping boy.
Silently she laid next to him. Watching as he inhaled and exhaled. The room was quiet. No sound could be heard aside from Naruto's breathing.
Kuro layed her head down and closed her eyes. Joining Naruto in slumber.

"Dont be afraid. The water won't hurt you". A faceless woman said. She smiled at a girl and lifted her up. Carrying her, till a river
"B-But what if we get lost". The little girl asked. Kuro couldn't see much. All she could see was the mother and daughter. They seemed to be by a forest judging by the trees.
Their faces began to clear up, and now she could see them clearly.
The woman, had a long furry tail and two furry ears. She was beautiful, with her long gleaming wavy black hair. She had the prettiest grey eyes, and a beautiful smile.
The little girl was simular to her, but had short black hair with purple highlights to it. What really caught her attention was the symbols on the necklace. It looked very familiar, yet she could not recognise where she had seen it.
The scenery quickly changed and now, Kuro could see the girl and the mother walking back to their house during a snow storm.
Everything was looking perfectly fine, but suddenly, everything began to turn into flames. The scenery became dark and gloomy. Cries could be heard of many people in pain.
The woman told the toddler to hide, running with the toddler in the forest . She stopped near a tall tree. Placing her onto a tree branch, and told her to climb further up. Smiling sadly down at her. The woman Warned her to not follow after her.
The toddler in fear agreed, gripping the tree branch tightly. tearing up at the sight of her leaving mother.
She waited for her return, but nothing happened. The woman did not appear. She waited for days,but still no appearance of her mother.
She shifted her body to a wolf, and jumped down the tree. Using her keen sense of smell ,the little wolf child sniffed for her mothers scent. it was very faint. It could almost be considered as nonexistent.
She ran towards the smell. The closer she got to it, the more destruction she could see in the place she one called home. Finally she was closer. She could not see anything, but her nose showed her the way. She dug through the snow desperately.
There deep in the ground, buried by the snow the little girl saw her mother. She teared up and began to cry heavily internally as she was still in her wolf form.
Dream end
Narito had been sleeping soundly, but the sound of whimpering had woke him up. He looked down at Kuro, sadden at the sight of the shaking wolf. He had never seen her like this. She must be having a nightmare.
Could animals even have nightmares? That was one if the questions he could not answer, but right now she needed him. She was always there for him through his nightmares, so why not return the favor?
He pulled Kuro close to himself and gently brushed her fur. Whispering reassuring words to her. He did this continually until she stopped shaking and relaxed.
"I wonder what you're dreaming about Kuro..." Naruto whispered sadly. Atleast now she looked more at ease. This helped Naruto relax abit more.
hugging Kuro's body tightly. Naruto fell right back to sleep. Everything was alright. Kuro was sleeping soundly and so was he.

The very next morning Kuro was up, feeling much better then before. Naruto was still soundly asleep. Resting up.
She walked towards the window. Jumping on top of the window stool, Kuro gazed outside. The snow was beginning to seize. Today more people were outside walking around the city.
As great as the winter ending was, it meant people would attack Naruto more. During the winter people did not feel like being around the cold for too long, so not a lot of people Bullied Naruto.
Kuro couldn't help,but growl in anger. If Naruto would just let her help him. I-If she could just hurt them. Maybe they would leave Naruto alone...
Naruto was just too nice for his own good. She wished he would stand up for himself more.
A hand rubbing her fur, snapped Kuro out of her thoughts. She turned her gaze towards Naruto, and he smiled brightly at her.
"Mornin Kuro! How did you sleep?". He asked knowing full well that she wasn't going to talk to him.
"I guess you slept well". Naruto laughed. "Last night you were having a nightmare and you really had me worried there bud". His laugh switched to deep concern.
She stared at him, not moving, just swinging her tail around. He quickly shook his head, clearing his mind from any negative thoughts, then smiled at her.
"Wait for me here Kuro. I'll be back. Then we can go eat Ramen together". Naruto said excited. Then he rushed off to the bathroom to shower, and get ready.
He quickly showered, brushed his teeth. When finished he grabbed a fresh pair of clothes. Taking his usual orange jumpsuit, he wore a bunch of clothes under it, to keep himself warm.
"Alright! lets go to Ichiraku's". Naruto grinned. So he began to walk out the door, and quickly Kuro followed after. Trailing behind him slowly.
"Maybe you should try the pork Ramen. Tastes really great neh". Naruto began babbling about all the ramen Kuro should try out.
No one seemed to be making a move on Naruto yet today. The people just walked and completely ignored them. They didn't even give Naruto the stink eyes nor did they attempt to aggravate him. It was really strange...
As Naruto kept on chattering, Kuro gazed everywhere just to make sure nothing was happening behind her back. Suddenly everything came to a halt as Naruto bumped into someone.
"Watch where you are going monster. You could have killed me". An angry man yelled. "You know, I thought a demon such as yourself would have died already by now, but surprise surprise you are still fucking breathing".
People had stopped walking and began watch the man yell and insult Naruto. Most had began laughing at what the man had said. Some were agreeing with the man.
Kuro sharply watched the mans movements. Making sure that none would make a move to try and hit Naruto.
Naruto stood still, dark aura surrounding him, but not a word came out of his mouth. He was already tired of asking and wonderinv why these people hated him.
The man raised his fist, ready to strike Naruto hard. Before him fist could reach Naruto, Kuro jumped and bite the mans hand.
"Ahhh!". The man yelled. Trying to shake Kuro off his hands. People began to panic. Some started running away, one tried to pull Kuro off the man, but Naruto punched the man.
"Don't you dare ever touch Kuro again!". He yelled. "Let go of that bastard Kuro". immidietly at his request Kuro released the arm.
Then man on his knees began crying in pain, as blood began to dripping from his arm, at the wound.
Naruto did not spear him any last glance before he turned away from him. Kuro following after.
"Don't ever do that again Kuro...please". Naruto pleaded. looking down at his wolf. "I-If they killed you or took you away from me I-I wouldn't know what to do..."
