Dog Days

Reincarnation was never easy, not for humans and especially not for a former Inu Youkai that now had to come to terms with his human and more importantly mortal body... and somebody really should have warned Sesshomaru about the headache certain humans could be. reincarnated!Sesshomaru, papa!Kakashi

Shiroheki was nine years old when he was recalled to the main compound for another 'tournament,' as well as further instructions concerning the missions he was to take around his den.

This time around there was close to thirty participants in the ring, and there would most likely be a second round if he counted the anxious faces of the people in the cages behind Orochimaru. The fight hadn't even started yet and he could already feel the killing intent of the two hysterically laughing teenagers across from him. Clearly they had already lost their sanity, if they ever had any, and were looking forward to senseless killing.

Bored of his soon-to-be opponents Shiroheki let his gaze wander up to the other prisoners. Nothing special caught his eye until the third-to-last cage. Inside it four people were huddled, one in each corner. The youngest of them was probably only a few years older than Shiroheki himself, but her age wasn't what he was interested in.

She had red hair, the most intense color that he had ever seen… it made him recall that scroll he read about the Uzumaki clan and their big chakra reservoirs. Focusing his senses even more on the girl he picked up on the light salt water smell that most water users carried, only the water user from Ame smelled different. It could be possible that she was a descendant… hell even if she was not, she could be useful. Children of her age were still educable as Rin had shown, if he got her now she could watch and train his siblings while he was gone. He knew that Etsuko would need to go back to her actual job in a few months to a year when Hideaki was potty trained… god he detested that word. And then he would need another minder for his siblings and there weren't any suitable candidates at the den right now… so maybe if he trained up that girl she could take that off his hands.

With his mind made up on what he wanted this time around, Shiroheki returned his attention to his opponents just in time to hear Orochimaru's 'begin' and quickly called up his chakra whip to decapitate the idiot that tried to sneak up on him.
