"Talking"

"Thoughts"

The Step-Siblings

With Konoha

"Hokage-sama! Hokage-sama!" the two ninjas shouted, bursting into the Hokage's office before stopping short to let silence fill the room. Rain had began to appear in Konoha during their quick pace toward the Hokage's office and they were slightly drenched as they burst in. They remained tense as they watched the Hokage turn in his chair from facing the shower of rain against the windows to look over at them. He nodded toward them and they purposefully walked in, the door shutting behind them as they came up to the Hokage's desk.

"What is it?" he asked, seriousness in his tone; from seeing the young Shinobi's reactions he had guessed this was an important matter.

"It's...it's... it's Tenten." one of the ninjas replied, glancing worriedly at the Hokage. Interest and suprise loomed in the Hokage's eyes as he stayed quiet, waiting for the young ninja to continue. "She..she...she left Konoha just a few minutes ago. We have no idea where she was headed, we never got the chance to speak with her." the young man finished, pulling the bandana-hitai-ate off of his head to reaveal his short messy hair that slightly hung over his head, shaking the rain from his brown locks, making his hair look spiky.

The Hokage's eyes widened, but he quickly regained his composure as he looked over at the two ninja.

"Was she with anybody?" he asked. The ninjas looked at each other before looking back at the Hokage,"Yes...she left with two wolves, a white one and a red-brown one...and...her sister Kaikatsu Uchiha, the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-tailed Wolf was with her...and plus...it seems that her seal is broken...her wolf form is awakened..." the Hokage's eyes widened, that meant that she was able to use her Sharingan now."...we saw her wolf form...and she looked...sad...like she lost something..." the ninja replied recalling the look on Tenten's face.

The Hokage looked down, remembering when he found out about Ayaka being a wolf. He had always treated the red she-wolf like his own daughter, and was heartbroken when he found out she was killed. He decided to try and forget about the beatiful young woman, by erasing everything about her when Madara died. (A/N: Once again, Madara is not dead. He also found out about Madara killing her.) He ended up erasing Tenten's memory of everything till the day she was born, because he could not bring himself to kill the innocent babe. (A/N: Yes when I say babe, I mean baby Tenten.). He ended up training her into the girl she became today since Ayaka had told him that he would be her children's godfather if her death or Madara's ever came to pass.

His heart was burdened heavily now with the fact that her other three children were still alive; Minoru, Hitoshi and Kaikatsu. His heart also ached to know that something was causing Tenten to leave Konoha. Tenten, even though noone truly knew it, was like a granddaughter to him. He looked solemnly at the two ninja who now had their heads bowed.

"I see...don't tell this to anyone... I don't want anyone to know until the Chunin exams are over." he said calmly, careful to display no emotion whatsoever.

"Hai Hokage-sama!" both ninja exclaimed before leaving his office. After he had lost their chakra presence, the Hokage turned in his chair to stare out quietly at the pouring rain, his gaze seem to be watching something from a far, his brows creasing together.

"Oh Tenten, please come home." he said, continueing to stare worriedly out into the night, the full moon shining brightly over Konoha, though the pattering rain made it look bleary and oddly shaped.

Tenten quietly raced along with Hitoshi beside her, struggling to stay in her wolf form as the rain pounded loudly in the night. She grunted in anger and sadness at seeing that her siblings were able to do it perfectly and she wasn't. Tears fell down her face, remembering how useless she felt when Lee yelled at her, and when Neji and the other Genin made fun of her and called her weak. She lowered her head as she whimpered quietly, letting her tears mix in with the rain matting her pelt.

Hitoshi looked over as he heard a silent sob coming from his left, his eyes widening when he saw his sister crying sadly. But he remembered what she had said, knowing that her emotions were still unstable at the moment. "It's alright, you'll get the hang of it soon." Hitoshi said, smiling softly at his younger sister as he watched her pure white fur dazzling in the moonlight.

She looked at her brother and smiled slightly before looking ahead and continued running. She really hoped she would adjust to this, she was leaving the only home she had ever known, where all her 'friends' stayed, and where her first love was. Konoha was all she had known and now she was giving it away to live with her real family in the woods. Was this what she really wanted?

"Don't worry, you'll visit Konoha again one day." Hitoshi whispered. She looked at him sharply, only to find him looking straight ahead, a small smile on his lips.

She looked ahead once again, hoping her time with her family would help her physically, and mentally. She wanted to prove herself she was strong, she wanted to prove that she could be helpful. These thoughts caused her hopes and determination to swell, her pace quickening as she slowly raced ahead of Hitoshi. He watched her as he continued to keep his pace, his smile growing wider.

"She will make it..she has what it takes." Hitoshi whispered to himself, knowing that he was right.

The four wolves stopped in a large clearing, the moon still shining down on them as the rain receded. The three siblings watched as Minoru stepped forward, lifting his head and howling powerfully, the moonlight turning his pelt a gleaming silver. After the howl subsided, many wolves began to emerge from the woods and as Tenten noticed, some dens that were in the clearing. The wolves made a circle around the clearing looking curiously at the two new she-wolves. Anxious murmurs came from the pack and some snarls were heard also. Minoru looked around commandingly, waiting to speak.

"These two wolves are mine and Hitoshi's siblings, Kaikatsu and Tenten." Minoru announced, flicking his tail in their direction. Kai and Tenten looked around them, staring at the many wolves who were staring right back at them. Their gazes finally landed on four wolves that were walking out of the circle and towards them.

"Well, lookie' here. More family members." The leading wolf said, as she stared intently at the two sisters. Tenten and Kai looked at each other in confusion before staring questioningly at Minoru. He sighed as he turned to look at them with a side-way's glance before turning his gaze to the four other wolves.

"Tenten, Kai; this is Arisu, Issachar, Shirou, and Lua...they are our half-siblings." he explained, ignoring the suprised gasps of shock as he turned back to glance at the four siblings. He nodded his head and the red she-wolf strutted up to them proudly, her yellow eyes glittering.

"Yeah..I'm Arisu, nice to finally meet you." she said, a big smirk on her face, her sharp fangs seeming to glint in the moonlight.

Tenten and Kai just continued to stare at her in shock. Kai had noticed something familiar about this red wolf, 'Oh yes, no wonder!' the she-wolf was the spitting image of their mother. At least, from what Kai remembered. Much like Ayaka, Arisu was a red and white wolf, her chest, throat, and face mask were white, while the rest of her fur was a maroon red. On her right foot, there was a white sock; just like their mother. (A/N: No I don't literally mean a real sock.) And lastly, under her eyes were upside-down triangles; small circles were below the bottom point of the triangle to make it look like exclamation points. They also noticed how healthy and beautiful her fur was, looking smooth and glossy as the moonlight seemed to be absorbed by her fur, her large plumy tail waving behind her.

They quickly snapped out of their thoughts, smiled at her and nodded their heads. The larger wolf next to Arisu took a step forward and bowed his head respectively, a friendly smile on his face. "And I'm Issachar, a pleasure to finally meet the rest of the family."

They looked him over, admiring him. He obviously was the oldest of the four, towering slightly over all his siblings, although he wasn't as tall as Minoru. His fur had a very different look from normal wolf design. (A/N: His coat design resembles a german shepherds fur design.) A black blaze from the tip of his nose ending at the tip of his tail. The blaze slightly stretching down his shoulders. He also had black feet, the color ending at his elbows. The rest of his body is a tan color, slightly tanner than Kai's fur. But the most striking feature that absolutely mesmerized Tenten and Kai were his eyes. They were a light sky blue, greatly contrasting with the color of his fur.

"And I'm Shirou and this is our youngest sister Lua." Tenten and Kai snapped out of their trances once more and looked over at the last two siblings.

Shirou, like Kai, was tan with an even lighter tan underbelly, undertail, throat, chest, and face mask and like Issachar he also had beautiful sky blue eyes. But the most distinct feature of him was the big tuft of yellow fur on his head which ended just behind his ears. He somehow reminded Tenten of Naruto, except their relative seemed more polite and less hyper than the hyperactive ninja in Konoha.

Then they slightly turned their heads to look at the smaller wolf next to Shirou. Like Arisu, she had beautiful rich maroon red fur. She had four white socks on her feet stopping half-way up her legs. And lastly, she had a white undertail, underbelly, chest, throat, and mask. And like her sister, she had yellow eyes except they had a softer, more timid look to them. She nodded her head shyly at them, her elegant muzzle pointed down submissively.

"It's nice to meet more family members." Tenten replied, a smile on her face.

Kai walked over to Arisu, looking at her curiously. Tenten looked over at her brothers, suprised at how tense they looked as Issachar, Shirou, and Lua talked with them. They all kept giving wary glances in Kai's direction. Suddenly, Kai turned to look at Minoru with a questioning gaze before speaking,"Does she have the Sharingan too?" she asked. Tenten looked on in confused as she watched Minoru and Hitoshi glare angrily at Kai, and how Issachar, Shirou, and Lua were staring at the two she-wolves, their eyes showing worriement.

Arisu stiffened at the question before a low growl came from her throat as she lifted her head, baring her fangs viciously at her half-sister. "Why in the hell would you say that?" she growled angrily, spitting the word out like a curse.

"Nevermind... I know my brother's answer, but it's weird though, considering that we are part Uchiha and you aren't." Kai said.

"Wait...Arisu don't!" Issachar shouted, beginning to race toward her. It suddenly grew quiet before Arisu suddenly vanished, Tenten's eyes widening at the girls speed.

After a few seconds she reappeared behind Kai, growling viciously as she clamped her jaws on Kai's tail. Kai howled angrily, swiftly turning around to slash her fangs through her leg, but Arisu quickly evaded the attack, leaping high into the air. Kai growled in shock as she lept into the air also, swerving to the side and latching her fangs on her half-sisters back leg before lifting her head in the air, causing Arisu's body to fling back and slam into the ground, causing smoke to errupt around them; a howl of pain was heard from inside the rising dust.

Tenten stared in complete shock, this was not how she had imagined on how the first night at her new home would go. She stared worriedly as she watched the smoke quickly cover the clearing. The other group of wolves were looking on with curiosity, some letting off growls, each holding a different emotion.

"Kai!" "Arisu!" the siblings shouted, worriedly waiting for the smoke to clear, only able to hope that they both weren't hurt.

-Cliffhanger. wow finally! really sorry for night finishing this sooner. has been updated. Wonder why Arisu attacked Kai? Does she have a hate toward Uchihas? Well these things will be explained in the next chapter. Plz review and enjoy!-
