Since I have decided to add the Akatsuki into this, when Zetsu talks, his darker side will be in bold. Also, I'd like to explain about my Madara and Tobi thing. I know that they are the same person, but when I first started writing stories with them, I didn't know that, so I'm just kinda used to making them seperate people, and that's what I'm gonna do in this one. So just work with me here. Thanks :3

OoOoOoOoOo

Recap:

"I curled up in the middle of everyone, enjoying their warmth and watched Sakura for a few moments. Then I hesitantly reached out, and stroked her large head, and rubs the base of her ear. Soon I started to fall asleep, my hand still on Sakura's shoft head."

The next morning Ren, Cassie, and Sakura were showing me around the territory and where not to go, and where I can go. Hopefully I can remember all of this though...

"The river is our main source for splitting the land-" Ren was explaining, pacing behind me as I stood by the rocks, gazing at the other side of the river, then interrupting him.

"What's on the other side?" I glanced over my shoulder at him.

"Another group of mutants like us, who can shapeshift. But they mixed with shapeshifts that can turn into multiple things, not just wolves, unlike us."
"Oh. Do you guys ever get together at any point?"
"No. We do not speak to other shapeshifters, unless they want to join." Cassie finally spoke up, slowly walking down the edge of the river, tempted to jump in the water to cool off.

"Okay...So what happens if they come over here, or you go over there?" I looked at Ren again.

"We fight until they either go back to their territory, or if they refuse to leave, then we attack until someone is dead." At this said, I gasped, unable to hold it in. Damn! I wish I could do something, but as long as these shapeshifters are in their animal form, my powers are useless, and they're almost always in animal form! Then my eyes snapped to the trees on the other side of the river.
"What's wrong, Anna?" Sakura was standing on a small pile of rocks, mainly cause she thought she looked bigger this way.

I shook my head, "Nothing...I just thought I saw movement is all." As I stared intently at the trees, I saw it again, and this time I was sure there was on of them over there. Then I heard a deep growl behind me, Ren. Sakura had also tensed up and was giving an angry look at the trees, but Cassie never noticed. Then a large blue wolf, alone with a blond, white, orange, and red ones. The orange one was the biggest, and the red one looked like a girl. They were standing in a row in the water by their side of the river.

Then the blue one spoke, "What? Are you planning on coming over for a snack?"
"No, we were going over the borders, to make sure none of you rodents were over here." Cassie snapped at him, and the blue one glared at Cassie.

"Well, it looks like you have a new member, does she shapeshift?" He looked at me again, ignoring Cassie's threats.

"As a matter of fact, she can't." Once Ren responded, the blue got a bit closer, with the others following.

"I am Sasuke. This is Naruto," The blond one. "Karin," The red one. "Suigetsu," The white one. "and Juugo." The large orange one.
"You better back off. You are almost in our territory. One hair of yours crosses the line, you're dead." Cassie was pretty much enjoying this, itching to attack this Sasuke. I could see it, he was even twitching just by trying to hold back the urge to pounce.

"Oh calm down, we don't want that sick, sick heart of yours to explode now, do we?" He got this weird look, as if he were grinning.

"What did you just say?" Sakura was about to jump across the river at them, not caring if she were on enemy territory or not. Then Sasuke came even closer, too close. He had crossed the territory line, meaning, Ren had the right to rip off his head. I didn't even have time to breath before Sakura was on Sasuke. Literally, she was ON him! She was on his back, growling loudly, her fur brisling out, making her runt like appearance seem very large, and she was biting his ear. Then Suigetsu came up behind them, clamped his teeth down on her tail and dragged her off, but she never let go of Sasuke's ear. When Suigetsu pulled her off, her fangs ripped Sasuke's ear in half, and he was now howling in pain. Then Cassie attack Sasuke and Ren went after Juugo. Immediatly Sasuke forgot about his ear and starting to fight Cassie, Ren and Juugo disappeared farther down the river in a heap of fangs, blood, and fur. When I looked at Sakura she had already gotten Suigetsu off of her and swipped him across the face with her claws, sending him back to his territory. Then she turned to Karin, growled, and Karin ran off whimpering with her tail between her legs. Once Karin was gone, Sakura, panting, just layed in the water, blood turning the water around her red, from her side. I ran to her and was about to put pressure on her wound, but it was disappearing by itself and we both watched Sasuke and Cassie brawl.

Sasuke was on the ground, Cassie above him with his large paw on Sasuke's head, but Sasuke's back legs started kicking, and he scraped Cassie's stomach making him get off. The two just stood in front of each other, growling and snarling. Then they both jumped at each other. Cassie's paws pressed to Sasuke's face, and Sasuke was trying to bite Cassie's face, once they pulled away Sasuke got on Cassie. Biting, scratching, and slamming onto Cassie's back, making Cassie run, from too deep of wounds. Then Sasuke turned to me and I froze.

Sakura was already standing and she stood in front of me, baring her teeth at Sasuke.

"Bring it on...runt." Sasuke was somewhat smirking, and being called a runt pissed off Sakura. She charged at him and he jumped, his claws out, ready to cling to her back, but she moved to the side and right when he landed, she sunk her teeth into his neck, making him howl. She refused to let go as he clawed at her and struggled. He was about to slice her neck when a second wold jumped on Sasuke.

I stared in shock, gasping, "Aaron!" Then I saw Midori, Michael, and Stefan running up behind him. Midori came to me, "Where's Ren?" When I pointed to the direction he went, Midori and Stefan ran off to go help him while Michael and Aaron fought with Sasuke and Sakura. I looked at Sasuke again, watching Aaron and Sakura cling to him while Michael laughed and stood in Sasuke's view.

"Stupid, little cousin! You really fucked up this time, didn't ya?" Michael was still laughing and Sasuke growled in pain.

"Get them off of me!" He pleaded to his older cousin.

"Why should I? You've tortured Sakura and Aaron for so long...It's about time they get the taste of your blood. What would your brother think if he found out you were beating on little girls? Especially runts!"
"Yo-you wouldn't!"
"Oh, but I would! He's coming over this weekend for Cassie's birthday." Sasuke gasps when he hears this, his eyes widening in fear.
"No! Please don't tell him!"
Michael only laughs, "Ah...Reminds me of those good ol' days when you were little! Now scram!"
Sasuke didn't say anything more, just ran for the hills once Aaron and Sakura let him go. Sakura looked up at Aaron, "Thanks for saving me, A!" She transformed to human, and she was covering her mouth as she smiled behind it. Then Ren, Stefan, and Midori came sprinting up the river, coming to a halt when they got close to me, though Midori skidded a little bit.

"Where's the other one at?" My curiosity, again, taking over me, I stared up at the 3 male wolves.
"Crying in his mommy's arms! That's where!" Stefan chuckled, panting.
"Lets get back to camp and start treating your wounds." Sakura walked towards me as she talked, and helped me onto Cassie's back while she climbed onto Ren's. "The boys run faster than me...sadly." She giggled as they all started sprinting towards the camp, after jumping out of the water.

Once we got back to camp, we all sat around the fire, the boys once again humans. Sakura was going around dis-infecting all of their cuts, and wrapping them in gauze. Right now she was working on Cassie, the last to be treated, and she was wrapping gauze around his chest, bending over, so the top of her head was right by his face. He watched with amusement as her ear twitched when he blew on it, and she was growling softly.

"Can you please stop that?"
"Can you're ears be any bigger?" He answered quickly, chuckling.

We all watched, laughing, as Sakura and Cassie wrestled, forgetting about the loose gauze on his chest. Even the little children that were doing chores stopped to giggling at them. They kept this up until Ren yelled at them that it was time for bed. As I layed on my sleeping bag, (I was too hot to actually get in it.) I thought about wha tmight happen tomorrow. Will that man Michael talked about come tomorrow? Was Michael bluffing just to scare Sasuke? Will he come the day after tomorrow? Sunday, maybe? I asked myself so many questions and thought over them for so long, and so hard, it wore me out and I fell asleep so quickly, I don't even remember doing it.

Next Day

I was sitting on a stump, watching some of the smaller kids play fighting. It was actually really cute...They were acting as their favorite pack member, and 2 little girls were fighting over who was going to be Sakura, since Sakura is the only girl in the pack. Sakura left me for today, she had to go train with her brothers, so they told me to stay in the camp, and to send Aaron is some men arrive. So far, I havn't seen anyone...Then I saw a large group coming towards the camp, but they weren't animals. Two boys, Danny and Garion, from the group of kids started yelling and running towards the group and I stood up, unsure if it was safe or not.
"Wait! Come back here!" Quickly, I chased after them and froze at seeing the men. The two boys were standing at the feet of a very tall orange haired man, who had A LOT of piercings on his face.

"It's alright, I am their father." The man's voice was deep and calm, a voice of a leader. "My name is Pein."
"Hi..I'm Rogue. Are you the guys Ren is waiting for?"
"Yeah, where is he?"
"He went to train with Cassie and Sakura."
A very creepy man that had a fly trap over his top half of his body, one side of his body was white, and the other was black spoke up. One voice was softer, and kinder than the other, "And who are you? Can we eat her, Pein?"

"No, she may be part of the "family" now. Which direction did they go in?" Pein then turned to me.

"Uh..That way." Feeling kind of stupid, I pointed to the other side of the camp, and he headed off that way, his sons trailing after him, yelling "Daddy look what I made!" and "Daddy! Look at what I can do! I learned it by myself!"

Slowly I turned to the rest of the group, "Er...Hello...?"
"HI! MY NAME IS TOBI! DO YOU LIKE CANDY?" This boy with an orange mask was all of a sudden hugging me, luckily he wore long sleeves and gloves, and I laughed nervously, looking at the others.

"He's your problem now..." A very bored looking man with messy red hair muttered, walking away, happy to have Tobi off his back.

Then a blue man (What the fuck..?) gave her a toothy grin, "I'm Kisame, and that bag of dust was Sasori. This is Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu, Zetsu, and Itachi." My eyes lingered on Itachi, and he stared back at me, giving me the expression, 'Why are you staring at me?' type of look.

"Erm..You're Sasuke's brother?" These men stared at me, somewhat taken off guard.

"Not even here a week and you already know that?" Itachi's voice was deep, but quiet.

"We encountered him yesterday...Are you related to Michael?"
"Yes, he is my older cousin, and Madara and Tobi's brother." Itachi nodded to Tobi. "Madara will show up later." I nodded and looked at Tobi, then at them.

"Do any of you have kids, too?" They all laughed at me, then I rejoiced mentally when I heard a girl's voice. It sounded sweet and kind, but it also had a bite to it.

"You boys leave this poor girl be! Where did that piece of metal go?" A blue plant looking thing pushed through the Akatsuki, she was beautiful, but she looked different. None of the guys answered her question, they just ran off, seperating into the camp, thankfully, including Tobi. "Hi there! I'm Galaxina!"
"Hello! I'm Anna, but you can just call me Rogue."
"Well nice to meet you! Have you seen my children?"
"Um...What do they look like?"
"One is a seedrian like me, and the other is human. Their names are Garion and Danny."
"Oh! They went with a man named Pein...Do you know him...?"
She giggled school girl like, "Yeah! That's my boyfriend! Hopefully soon to be husband, if only he had the balls to propose!"
"That's because he lost them from you smashing them with a water bottle!" A man who looked almost exactly like Pein, without the gray eyes, piercings, and this guy was smaller, walked up form behind Galaxina. Then he held out his hand, "I'm Martin, Pein's little brother...Though he will never admit it." He chuckles and I shake his hand, telling him my name.

"Wow..I don't think I'll be able to remember all of these names..." I gently touched my temple, I was starting to get a headach.
"Well, lets go. C'mon! I'll introduce you properly to Pein!" Galaxina took my hand and started dragging me away, Martin trailing behind.
