What do I do? What can I do? Several thoughts raced through Iruka's mind as he struggled with Kakashi.

The first thought and instinct was to pin Kakashi down to the ground and hold him there but Iruka thought logically that, that might do more bad than good. So he was stuck. He didn't want to let Kakashi go for the fear that he will hurt himself or someone else. Iruka had originally planned to just hold Kakashi there until he tired but Iruka knew that he was tiring faster than Kakashi was. It wasn't that Kakashi was stronger than Iruka, no, that wasn't the problem. In fact Kakashi looked small compared to him right now, Kakashi only being half Iruka's size.

It was the injury from before, the wound that the Splitters had inflected on Iruka earlier today. It was a small thing, nothing to be concerned about. Just a little scratch on his side. Nothing too big. That was the case until this incident. With the sudden movement from his reaction from Kakashi attacking him and now this frantic struggle was opening his wound; making it bigger and bigger.

This isn't good! I have to do something now! Iruka thought. Then a thought; an idea came to his head. It was just a theory but it was worth trying. It was better than want Iruka's instinct was yelling at him to do.

He held his grip on Kakashi with his body and gently but slowly started to release Kakashi from his teeth. It was a small difference in stance but Kakashi was reacting to it.

Being held down with someone on your back with sharp teeth on you vulnerable neck would scare anyone. It terrified Kakashi. The teeth were so tight around his throat Kakashi thought that he was going to suffocate. Back were he was being tortured, that's exactly what they did to him. They would hold him down and hold his throat, squeezing ever so slowly. Allowing Kakashi to sink in that they could kill him at any time and he couldn't do a damn thing about it.

It was exactly what was happening now. They were going to kill him this time. He just knew it. Instead of the regular pace they immediately put pressure on his neck; tight enough to kill if any tighter. But this time it was different. The sudden pressure on his throat was easing off of him. It was like they started backwards or something. Starting off tightly and then gradually losing it up.

That wasn't right.

What's going on? Kakashi asked himself. He was still struggling but not much now. He was not only beginning to tire he was completely confuse by the sudden actions. So dazed Kakashi couldn't even remember why he was in this situation to begin with.

"Kakashi..." a voice in the darkness cleared Kakashi's haze.

"Kakashi, it's alright. You're safe. No one is going to hurt you here while I'm around. I promise you."

Iruka! Kakashi was hit with the realization that he wasn't in the rooms anymore, he wasn't in the labs anymore. He was with Iruka. He was safe. No pain or fear but safety and comfort.

"Iruka?" Kakashi asked uncertain that if this was a dream or not. He could fell Iruka shift on top of him when Kakashi started to heat up.

Iruka heard Kakashi's call for him and shift to get in a better position. He was afraid to let Kakashi go again, not knowing if he was going to relapse again. When he finished shifting he felt Kakashi heat up. Concerned he looked down at the back of Kakashi's head.

"Kakashi, you're heating up." Iruka whispered gently in Kakashi's ear making Kakashi shiver from Iruka's warm breath. "Are you okay?"

Kakashi had never been more embarrassed in his life! He stared down at the ground of the den not willingly to turn and meet Iruka's eyes.

"I'm fine." he said quickly. Iruka didn't believe him.

"Are you sure?" Iruka asked as he shifted again to get a better look at Kakashi

Kakashi nodded. "Yes." he managed to squeak out. "Could you please get off?"

Iruka didn't move.

"I'm fine, really."

Iruka was not convinced but he moved anyway humoring the little silver wolf beneath him. He got off on him and Kakashi stood up giving himself a little shake to fixing his fur that Iruka messed up. Iruka watched with amusement in his eyes. Kakashi caught him staring and gave him a questionable look.

"What?" Kakashi questioned. Iruka just shook his head side to side.

"Nothing." Even though Iruka said it was nothing Kakashi could hear the laughter in his turned his head away from the brown wolf and he huffed in a playful manner.

"Kakashi."

Kakashi turned his head to look back at Iruka who had the serious look in his eyes again. It was then that he remembered why he wanted to attack Iruka in the first place. It was also the reason why he still wanted to attack Iruka again.

Iruka saw that Kakashi was beginning to get angry again and decided to stop it before it got too out of hand like the last time.

"Kakashi." Iruka purred his name causing Kakashi to tense at the sound.

It's that purr again. thought Kakashi as he shut his eyes close and folded his ears back not wanting to hear it. Iruka ignored Kakashi reacts to his growling. No wolf would admit that even though it was a sort of growl that wolves used to sooth others down, it came out as a purr. He just hoped that Kakashi would listen to it like the last time and calm down from his rage.

Iruka took a step forward making Kakashi jump and take a step back from the sound. This went on for only a few seconds before Kakashi was trapped in a corner of the den. He curled himself up. He didn't want to hear the purr. He didn't want to calm down. He wanted to hurt things. He wanted to find his friends.

"Kakashi calm down and listen to me." Iruka continued to purr. "I know you are angry but you have to listen to me. There are two wolves residing in another den; in the healing den. You remember which one, don't you?" Iruka babbled on and on trying to get Kakashi to see reason.

Kakashi opened his eyes when Iruka told him about to the other wolves. Questions raced through his mind asking how the wolves were and if there were his friends.

"Kakashi?"

He looked at Iruka.

"Do you want to see them?"

Kakashi nodded. "Please? I-I need to see them." Kakashi cursed at his stutter. Iruka continued to purr ever so loudly comforting him the best he could.

Iruka walked up to Kakashi when he heard the stutter. He pressed his head against Kakashi's nudging it gently letting Kakashi know that he was here for him. Kakashi let out a sigh. Of relief? Kakashi, himself didn't know. He didn't know why but just the actions and the gentle words that Iruka would use on him would calm and sooth him to the point where he was so content he didn't want to do anything.

"You okay now?" Iruka asked as he pulled away and stopped his growling. Kakashi nodded and then they set out for the healing dens.

The walk to the healing dens was not a long one but it was a silent one. Neither Iruka nor Kakashi spoke as they made their way to the other den. Iruka would glance back every so often to make sure Kakashi was still with him. Kakashi on the other hand kept his head down and refused to meet Iruka's eyes.

In his mind there were so many questions that he couldn't find answers to. One of them being, if these two wolves were his friends then where are the others?

"Kakashi?"

"Mmm..."

"We're here."

At the statement Kakashi looked up and saw the familiar den that he once been in.

"Now listen Kakashi. I don't know how they are going to react to you. They are a little lost, I would say and very scared. So please, be careful with them when you go in there."

That got Kakashi's attention.

"You're not going in there?" he asked surprised. Iruka just shook his head.

"This is more of a personal thing and they seem spooked from everything. A familiar person would do them good without a stranger staring at them. I think I speak for everyone that they have already had enough of, right Kakashi?" Iruka answered as he looked between the den and Kakashi.

Kakashi looked uncertain but he nodded any way. It was true in a sense. There were times in that place where everyone stared at you and your every move, whether you were eating or just trying to go to the bathroom. It was unsettling in those moments and Kakashi agreed to what Iruka spoke of. Yes, it indeed would be better if he went in there alone.

"Just promise me one thing Kakashi." Iruka stated. Kakashi looked at the brown wolf and saw that Iruka was staring at him with emotions flashing through his brown eyes that Kakashi didn't understand. Was it concern or worry? Maybe it was both? Kakashi didn't know.

"Of course Iruka." Kakashi agreed. Iruka walked over to Kakashi like he had done earlier before in the other den. He came up to his ear. Kakashi could feel the warmth coming from Iruka's breath. It sent shivers down his back and Kakashi could swear that his fur was standing up from the feeling.

"If anything and I mean anything at all happens in there, you have to promise me that you will call for me. It doesn't even have to be my name. Just yell if anything happens in there, okay?"

At Iruka's words Kakashi's eyes widened. He never had anyone tell him that. It made an odd but good feeling within him. Kakashi didn't want that feeling to go away. It was all too soon that Iruka stepped away from him. Distantly Kakashi felt so cold once Iruka stepped away. Iruka's body heat had surrounded him and now with the source of the heat gone Kakashi suddenly felt cold.

"I will Iruka." Kakashi promised trying to come up with the best smile he could muster. He wondered if wolves could smile. It seemed like Iruka saw it though and smiled back.

Without any more words Kakashi went forwards into the den. The den was dark just like any other. It amazed Kakashi still that he could still see because of his night vision. That was something that a human doesn't have and it gave Kakashi a sense of safety that if he was ever outside at night he would still be able to see unlike the people in the movies where they are outside alone with the monster that they couldn't see.

As he walked Kakashi could hear noises at the end of the tunnel he was in. The noise sounded like whimpers and whines. Kakashi knew those well. He had made a few himself when he had first woken up. He just hoped that his friends would take it a lot better than he did or else it could be a problem.

When he got at the end of the tunnel he stopped and stared at the two wolves that were before him. Both wolves were huddled together and shaking and trembling. He didn't know if they were Izumo and Genma. He couldn't tell!

"Izumo, Genma..." Kakashi called out to them in hopes that they were who they said they were. Instantly the whimpers and whines stopped as both the wolves turned their heads to stare at Kakashi.

No one spoke.

"Are you or are you not Izumo and Genma?" Kakashi asked. He was worried and the little hope he had left was slowly diminishing. The only thing that Kakashi was holding on right now was if they weren't Izumo and Genma then how, did they know the names? Kakashi was pretty sure that Izumo and Genma were not all that common.

"No, we aren't." stated the brown wolf softly. It was so soft that Kakashi almost missed it. His wolf ears started to move and twitch trying to catch ever little thing.

"If you are not them then how do you know their names?" Kakashi questioned some what angrily. If they weren't Izumo or Genma then how did they know their names? Kakashi felt that it was like some sick joke that was getting pulled on him.

This joke was not funny.

"Why should we tell you?" the other one, the black growled out. This one was more together then the brown own who looked so lost that he looked ready to die any moment.

"Look, I just need to..." the sentence died from Kakashi's lips as he took a good look at the brown one again, a good look. Something was familiar about the brown wolf but Kakashi couldn't place it. Intrigued Kakashi stepped forward scaring the two wolves. The black one who had spunk was now shivering again in fear.

Fear of me? Kakashi thought but that didn't stop him from moving forward. Something about the brown eyed wolf. He looks so familiar. Where have I seen him before? Kakashi questioned.

He didn't stop walking until he was up close to them. He stared the brown wolf intently trying to figure him out. It was when the wolf looked up did Kakashi recognize him. There on his face was the scar that no other but one could have.

"Raidou?" Kakashi whispered almost afraid that it wasn't true.

The wolf in question stopped trembling and snapped his head up to look at Kakashi.

"How d-do you know m-my name?" Raidou's voice crack slightly from the lack of use; his eyes big and bold in a confused manner. Kakashi could see even the hint of fear run through Raidou's eyes.

Raidou, what did they do to you? Kakashi had a feeling that he already knew the answer. Kakashi looked over to the black one. Then he must be...

"Kotetsu?"

Kakashi could see recognition in the black wolf's eyes at the sound of his name.

"Ka-Kakashi?" Kotetsu's voice cracked with uncertainty. Kakashi put a small on his face and nodded.

The two wolves's launched themselves into him making him fall over. Kakashi yelped having taking the force of the fall on his side knocking the wind out of him. Raidou and Kotetsu didn't stop, they were all over him. Questions filled the air with licks and nuzzles that Kakashi was having a hard time breathing.

"You two better get off of him right now!" they heard the very firm commanding voice. Raidou and Kotetsu immediately stopped what they were doing and pilled away from Kakashi when they realized what they had done.

Kakashi laid there panting trying to fill his lungs back up with air that he didn't notice that his friends had left him alone. It was when a familiar brown wolf hovered in his view of sight did he realize that Iruka was here. Kakashi smiled up to him lazily. Iruka just chucked at him.

"Yo." was all Kakashi could muster as he regained his breath back. Iruka just shook his head.

"Idiot, I heard you yelp. I thought they were attacking you for a second there."

"Maa...." Kakashi started but Iruka stopped him.

"I don't even want to know." Iruka told him and then turned his head to the wolves behind him. "So are they Genma and Izumo?"

"No." Kakashi answered as he got up. "They are Raidou and Kotetsu. Genma and Izumo are their lovers."

Iruka didn't comment on it but he nodded anyway. He moved away from Kakashi as he eyed up the two new arrivals thinking on what he should do to them.

"Uh...Kakashi?" Kotetsu called out nervously looking at Iruka. He didn't feel comfortable with this strange wolf staring at him like that. He had already endured those stares before back in the lab. He didn't want to see them here.

"Hmm?"

"Who is he?"

Realization dawned on Kakashi that his friends had never meet Iruka formally.

"Oh! My bad! Guys this is Iruka. Believe it or not he is the Alpha of this wolf pack that's outside. Don't feel bad if you don't believe him. I didn't believe him at first either." Kakashi teased.

Iruka's right eye twitched.

Raidou and Kotetsu found it amusing. Never in their lives together did Kakashi ever openly tease someone like that. He mainly kept to himself and if he did tease then it was with the little friends he did have. A lot has changed if Kakashi was teasing Iruka like this.

"And what exactly is that suppose to mean." the murderous intent was clear as day rolling off of said wolf but Kakashi just laughed it off.

"I'm just saying that you don't look like you could lead a pack of flies like alone a pack of wolves." Kakashi continues to tease. His friends knew that Kakashi was done for. The idiot may be classed as a very smart person as a human but even then he would say the stupidest things know to man and now wolf.

"I'm going to hurt you." Iruka gave his only warning.

"Uh oh."

Kakashi went to run but Iruka turned sharply towards Kakashi to block him. He turned a little too sharp. Kakashi stopped his run abruptly when he saw Iruka was not following him.

"Iruka, are you okay?" Kakashi asked.

"Damn." Iruka hissed. With all of this going on and Kakashi teasing him he forgot about the wound from earlier that day. The wound on his side throbbed with pain. From Iruka's sudden movement he had accidentally reopened his injury again.

"Iruka let me see it." Kakashi said trying to get closer. Iruka moved away out of Kakashi's reach though.

"It's fine. I'm okay."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes.

"You are not okay. I can see blood. Usually when someone bleeds they are not fine!" Kakashi argued back.

"I'm fine."

"No you are not!"

"Yes I am!"

As they fought Raidou and Kotetsu were having their on conversation.

"I wonder why Kakashi is acting like that." Kotetsu said. Raidou just rolled his eyes.

"Isn't obvious?" he asked but Kotetsu shook his head. "He likes Iruka."

Kotetsu looked shocked for a moment before understanding settled in. As he watched the two fight he couldn't help but nod. "Yeah, I see it now. He does like him, doesn't he?"

Raidou nodded as he watched the duo.

"I wonder how long they are going to fight." Raidou asked in wonder.

"I have no idea but if it gets any longer we are going to have to stop them." Kotetsu told the other.

"You're bleeding!"

"So?"

"That means you are not fine!"

"But I am!"

"Are not!"

A coughed caught both of the wolves' attention. They both turned towards the sound and saw Raidou and Kotetsu both smiling and amused by the arguing. If it was one thing that would cheer them up it was Kakashi's antics. He could make you laugh totally unintentionally but that was what he was. What got them was the concern that was radiating from Kakashi for this brown wolf.

"We are still here, you know." Raidou said softly but anyone could still hear the humor in his voice. Kakashi coughed as well embarrassed at getting caught in a situation like that.

Iruka cleared his throat before saying, "Oh, right. Well I'll take you to the dens that we have and see if we can't give you a place to stay while you are here."

Kakashi glared at them for interrupting them but they just smiled and walked passed him following Iruka out.
