It was bright outside. It was in the middle of the day. Asuma sighed as he walked along the trail that lead away from the dens and headed towards the deeper forest. Though it was a nice and sunny day Asuma couldn't be ever more thankful when the large trees gave him cover from the hot sun. Sure it was nice in a way but having such thick fur as him; it gets to a wolf sometimes.
Asuma watched as the sun slowly disappeared over the trees leaving a cool sensation on his body. The grass was partially cooler than it had been and instead of the blinding light that the sun gave off, it was darker and easier to see without squinting to protect ones eyes.
As he listened, the birds in the area became more and more. Even as he walked deeper and deeper into the forest that surrounded the dens, he was completely calm. In this part of the forest, he was safe. This was their territory and it was probably one of the safest places they had besides the dens themselves.
There was a reason why he had came into this area. Two days have passed since he had told Anko about the other wolf. He had been trying to hold off telling Iruka about said wolf. He knew that Iruka had been near death just a few days ago so he wanted to give Iruka time to heal.
Up until today though the wolf hadn't even moved but now, he is not only up and talking but running and fighting. The wolf was scared, Asuma knew. He didn't know what had happened to him but from what Asuma had gathered, he went through the same thing as Kakashi and the others had.
That's why he was here. He was looking for Iruka. The other day Tsunade declared that Iruka was well enough to move around but was in no shape to be fighting again. That was another reason why he had held off on telling Iruka. He knew that the moment he mentions the other wolf Iruka would want to see him even in his condition.
It was when Asuma couldn't find either Kakashi or Iruka at the dens was what made him come here. This was a place where Iruka came often to relax and get away. Asuma figured he came here and brought Kakashi with him.
Asuma was right.
The dark wolf walked into a clearing that Iruka usually hang around. Asuma's eyes lit up. It would seem that not only was he right but he had more than Kakashi with him. Asuma took a seat on the ground and watched the view he had. He could see Iruka and Kakashi lying next to each other, resting; it would seem, with Gai and Baki. They weren't only though. With them their cubs were running around and about, laughing and playing with each other.
Asuma decided not to interrupt them just yet.

"Are you sure you're up for this?" a concerned Kakashi asked. Iruka laughed softly.
"Yes Kakashi, I'm fine. Tsunade even gave me the okay, Kakashi." Iruka told the other wolf.
Kakashi couldn't help but sigh. "I know."
Together him and Kakashi were walking around and heading towards the forest. Kakashi didn't know that but Iruka did. He was planning on starting Kakashi's training straight away. He didn't have time to spare. Anyone knows when Orochimaru would strike next and with what.
"I'm fine Kakashi, I promise." Iruka said. He smirked some what smugly when he saw a blush peeking out of Kakashi's fur. He felt so bad of the guy. His fur always betrayed him in hiding his emotions.
"Okay." Kakashi gave up. He knew that Iruka was fine but he couldn't help but worry. Not even four days ago he was lying in a pool of his own blood, dieing. Kakashi still was having trouble sleeping at night. He couldn't get Iruka's lifeless image out of his head.
"Kakashi?"
Silver ears perked up at his name. Kakashi looked over to Iruka. "What?"
Iruka gave him a worried look. "Are you okay? You stopped walking."
Kakashi looked around not believing Iruka's words but he spoke the truth. Here he was standing still on a trial in the middle of the forest. When did they get here? Why did he stop walking? Where was here? Kakashi's thought circled in his head.
"Where are we?" Kakashi asked ignoring Iruka's question altogether.
Despite his worry, Iruka chuckled. He couldn't help it. Kakashi was standing there with his eyes darting all over the place trying to drink in every possible angle he could. Here he was again acting as a cub would to seeing the outside world for the first time.
"We are in the forest." Iruka stated the obvious causing Kakashi to glare at the brown wolf.
"And?"
Iruka smirked. "It's a surprise."
Kakashi humphed. "I hate surprises."
"Hate is a strong word."
"Fine." Kakashi said. "I dislike surprises. Happy?"
Iruka smirked. "Much."
Kakashi glared. "I dislike you."
"I dislike you too." Iruka said laughing. "Now come on Kakashi. We shouldn't keep them waiting?"
Kakashi stood there shocked as Iruka started to walk off without him. "Them? Iruka, who is them?"
"Surprise, remember?" Iruka called back.
"Bastard." Kakashi commented in a low tone. Iruka heard him, but didn't think much of it. He knew Kakashi was only mad at him for not telling him the surprise. But that was it, wasn't it? It was a surprise so Iruka wouldn't tell him.
"Love you too Kakashi."
Kakashi froze at those words. He knew that Iruka didn't mean the words in such a way but hearing Iruka say them made his heart skip a beat. He became flustered.
"Are you coming or not Kakashi?" Iruka called out. Kakashi stared back at him. Iruka gave the silver wolf a confused look before Kakashi shook it off and started to walk again.
They had been walking for a long time. Kakashi didn't know when they would stop. He only knew that they were getting somewhere was because of the change in the scenery. The light became dimmer and the heat that was beating down on them lessened.
"Are we there yet?" asked Kakashi.
"No."
"Why not?" he whined.
"You are such a cub."
"I am not!" Kakashi said loudly offended.
"Whatever you say Kakashi, whatever you say." Iruka smirked while saying that.
Even though the whining was a little annoying, Iruka wouldn't have it any other way. It was refreshing to fool around and joke again. It has been too long since Iruka could loosen up enough to enjoy what was around him and who was with him.
He could even hear Kakashi grumbling behind him.
"I am not a cub." he grumbled.
Kakashi was having fun. He had slowed down some during his whining and was slightly behind Iruka. He didn't mind. He could see Iruka waging his brown tail back and forth in his own enjoyment. He was too enjoying himself. It was fun to tease Iruka and whine around. It was defiantly different than having to think about everything that has happened to him thus far. Kakashi was happy with the change.
Kakashi looked all around him. It was so peaceful out here that one wouldn't know that the creatures that live in these woods would be at war. He frowned just thinking about the war. According to what he could gather and what Iruka has told him, they had been at war for a very long time. That would mean there has been a war going on even when he was younger and was being told not to go out of the town for the first time.
Why hadn't anyone known that this was going on? Kakashi thought. Or they did but wouldn't tell the public about it.
So caught up in his thoughts Kakashi didn't notice when Iruka had stopped causing the smaller wolf to bump into Iruka. The little bump though didn't even startle Iruka while Kakashi stumbled back a ways to keep his balance.
"Why did you stop?" Kakashi asked once his recovered his balance.
Iruka turned his head and smiled. "Because we're here."
Kakashi's ears perked up at that. "Really?"
Iruka nodded. Kakashi didn't have to be told twice and moved to get a good look at the new area that Iruka lead him to. As he moved in front of Iruka Kakashi gave a glaze to the brown wolf making sure that this was okay.
Iruka nudged him on causing Kakashi to turn his attention to the scene in front of him. Iruka smiled when Kakashi gasped.
"So, what do you think?" Iruka asked.
Kakashi was gaping like a fish taking in the sight before him. It was a clearing with green grass; some as tall as him, but some no taller than his knee. There was sun peeking through the trees but not enough to be uncomfortable but enough to get a sun bath if one wanted one.
In the sky and trees birds and other small creatures scattered about. He could see birds flying across the clearing and little squirrels leaping through the grass. He saw rabbits eating and hopping around enjoying themselves and he saw bees spinning around landing on flowers that were growing there.
Oh the flowers! They were the most breath taking that Kakashi has ever seen before. Kakashi had never seen flowers like the ones here. Some were funky but neat looking, others had some similarities like the ones in his home town but they were bigger and brighter. The colors danced around in Kakashi's eyes. Everything here was so different.
Like a world inside another. Kakashi thought.
In his world, in the human world, there was nothing like this. This was all so new, so different that it scared Kakashi to think that if it wasn't for Orochimaru he would have never had known. Kakashi looked back to Iruka. If it wasn't for Orochimaru, Kakashi was sure he wouldn't have met Iruka either.
"Kakashi?" Iruka interrupted his thoughts.
Kakashi focused on him.
"I would like for you to meet someone." Iruka told him.
Kakashi nodded. "Who?"
Iruka smiled. "They are here. We just have to find them."
Kakashi narrowed his eyes in suspicion. He didn't like the tone Iruka said those words in.
"You'll see." Iruka stated. "Come on."
Both wolves entered the clearing. Iruka was relaxed and enjoying the moment of peace but Kakashi was tense and searching for anything abnormal. He didn't like the tone Iruka had used on him. It gave him the sense that he was falling into a trap. He didn't like surprises.
"Gotcha!"
Startled Kakashi jumped back in surprise causing him to fall along with a black fuzz ball on top of him. Iruka couldn't help it, he laughed at the sight. Kakashi still shocked was on his back looking at the black puff ball that attacked him. He was brought out of his daze when he heard Iruka laughing at him though.
"It's not funny." Kakashi growled.
Oh, it is." Iruka said with a smile.
Kakashi growled again and turned his attention to the thing on top of him. The black mess of fur was smiling at him with a small pink tongue hanging out of its' mouth. Kakashi now remembered where he had seen this fur ball from before.
"This is Gai's cub." Kakashi stated.
Lee yipped happily at Kakashi statement. "Hi! I remember you! I attacked you! You didn't see it coming! I surprised you, didn't I?"
"I suppose you did." Kakashi gave a nervous laugh. The cub had energy and boy, can the little cub talk!
Gai is going to have trouble with this one. Kakashi thought. I would kill myself in not even a day if I had to hear Lee talk like that all day long.
"Lee!" a voice called out lightly with laughter. "Get off of Kakashi and come here please!"
The black cub groaned in disappointment but did as he was told. Once Lee got off of him, Kakashi got up and shook his fur to get rid of all of the dirt on it. He watched as the cub went back to Gai. Kakashi got a surprise that Gai and his cubs weren't the only ones there with them. He saw another one there as well and from the looks of it, he had had three cubs too.
The strange black wolf came towards them with some caution, Kakashi might add, as he got closer to them. Kakashi also noted that all three of his cubs were behind him.
A safety precaution? Kakashi thought.
"Kakashi." Iruka called out coming right next to Kakashi. "I would like you to meet Baki and his cubs."
"Uh…hi." was all Kakashi could think of saying. He watched as the wolf known as Baki nodded stiffly.
"Hello." Baki said politely back.
An uncomfortable silence drifted over them. Kakashi didn't know what to do. He had no idea how this greeting thing work with wolves but it was defiantly different from a human greeting.
"Uh, Baki?" Gai asked. "Why don't you let Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro play with my cubs? That way we can talk and they can have their fun."
Baki nodded silently. Leaning down he nudged his little ones away. Kakashi watched as the scene unfolded. The larger one, who Kakashi assumed was male, showed some reluctance but for the most part went on his own to play.
It was the other two that Kakashi saw Baki was having trouble with. The second smallest, who Kakashi could tell was female, fought a little more than the first but Baki won the battle and got her off to play with Gai's youngest one, Tenten.
Then Kakashi watched as Baki tired to pry off the last one, the youngest one from what Kakashi could see. The red cub wouldn't leave his mothers' side. After a moment however Baki gave up with a sigh and stopped trying to nudge his little one away.
"I'm sorry." he apologized. "But ever since the fire incident he won't leave my side."
Iruka shook his head. "No need to apologize Baki. I was there too. I believe he has the right to not want to leave you."
Kakashi was confused at the conversation the two were having.
What fire? Kakashi thought. Was that why I saw Iruka all burned up that day?
"How is he holding up?" asked Iruka.
"Good, I believe for anyone who had been through that." Baki answered.
Kakashi got a good look at the little red cub and he could see fading wounds and new scars that littered his small body. He could even see the remaining burn marks and could see the missing fur that the fire had burned off.
He didn't blame the little cub for wanting to stay close to his mothers' side.
"What happened to him?" asked Kakashi.
The other three wolves looked at him and then at each other. The all had a silent connection that didn't include Kakashi. He watched as they seem to come to a decision to his answer.
"Come Kakashi." Iruka said to him. "I will tell you some things about what cubs have to endure during this war."
Kakashi didn't like the sound of that.
