Hitomi and Hanabi were happy with their new life within the village, but both women disliked being physically inferior to the youkai, a feeling shared by Kiba. So the three of them went to see the gods, but only Byakko was around, as the others had gone to the outside world. The tiger was with his back turned to the entrance and distracted. "Can we enter Byakko-san?" He had been carving a wooden mural of a fox with a wolf, a single nod showing that he heard his visitors. "Why did you come here?" "We came to ask one thing." He hummed while adding a few more details with his claws. "You want to be part of our kind, correct?" Kiba got surprised. "How did you know?" The god chuckled. "That's usually the wish of a human that lived here for a while. The wife of Bantyo is a prime example, she wanted to be one since day one." This time he turned around to face the trio. "Kami had predicted this outcome, so she gave us a mean to attain this goal." He went towards a chest and picked up an orb of the size of a volleyball that looked like a crystallized piece of the night sky. "This orb looks into your heart, finding the animal that is the most suited for you. Who wants to be the first?" Kiba snatched the object and stared at it with a deep frown, earning a sigh from Byakko. "No, no. Is not like that, boy. Close your eyes, relax and hold it in front of your heart." The boy did what was asked of him. "I'm not feeling any- argh! My body's burning!" The tiger roared an order: "Stay still or you will turn into ashes!" The stern warning made the Inuzuka grit his teeth and bear the pain. Fortunately the pain didn't last long and he fell to his knees, panting and sweating hard. "Hmm, you turned in a dog, maybe a chocolate Labrador?" Kiba looked at his back and saw his new tail and cheered. "Whohoo! I got it!" With this he was gone, anxious to find out what had changed. Hitomi was the next to undergo the process, already expecting the initial effects, turning into a panther with the coat in the same color as her hair and bright purple spots. "It feels weird, I'm not used to having a tail." Byakko scoffed at this. "Your daughter had to deal with ten of those." Like Kiba, Hitomi went out, but she had the intent of finding a certain dark haired man. Now Hanabi was the only one left, and she looked uncomfortable under the scrutiny of the white haired man. "What about you? You can do the same as them or refuse the change. What will be your choice?"

Kurama was watching over his slumbering mate, smiling as he brushed her hair off her face. A naughty idea popped up in his head and he put it in action, she had her back facing him, so he slid a claw lightly up her spine, smirking when he heard giggles. He upped it a notch by starting to nip the base of her neck up to her ears, all while he tickled her sides. Hinata was writhing in protest, not wanting to wake up, so Kurama let a mischievous grin appear as he proceeded to grope her sides and blow raspberries on the exposed skin, making her jolt awake with a squeal. "Stop teasing me Kurama!" His sensitive ears picked up her deeper breathing and erratic heart, so after giving a long lick on her mark he put his mouth close to her ear and whispered a taunt: "And if I say no?" As she tried to elbow him on the stomach she said: "I'll make you." He had blocked her hit with one hand and used the other to pull her body closer to his. After giving her a few more tickles he taunted further: "No, you won't my dear." Hinata turned around in his grasp and nuzzled his chest. "Okay, I'm awake. What do you want?" He chuckled and rolled on his back with her on top. "It's a bit lonely being the only one awake, so I just wanted to wake up my beautiful mate." She punched him softly for what his husky tone suggested. "Pervert." He laughed. "Only for you, my dear, only you." Then the couple simply let the passion take control, moans filling the air as they made love and pleasured each other.

Byakko was about to take his afternoon nap when a thought suddenly hit him. "Shit! I forgot that females went instantly in heat upon transforming." Then he calmed down. "Feh, it's not my problem anymore."

Kurama had pinned Hinata to the bed as he held her wrists. "Rough or slow, my dear?" He had teased her body nonstop, leaving her in a state of sexual frustration. "Do what you want, just stop being a tease." He chuckled at the slight anger in her voice, as he knew that she could have stopped him if she wanted.

Hyō was walking through the less populated area of the village until a rustling picked his attention, but as soon as he got in a defensive stance the sound had stopped. He shrugged and dropped his guard, only to see a dark blue blur coming at his direction, shortly followed by a blunt hit on his back as he slid on the ground with his wind knocked off him. He raised his head to see what was weighting him down, only to meet hungry and lustful eyes that belonged to none other than Hitomi, who was showing her new features proudly. "Hey there you sexy stud." She used her new claws to tear down his shirt and have him a deep kiss, making his eyes bug out. 'WTF?!' At first he froze, but he began to enjoy it. Still, he knew that he liked her and it seemed to be the same for her, so... why to wait any longer? But he didn't want to give a free show to any sicko, so he grabbed her and used shunshin, leaving behind a shredded cloth and some burned leaves.

Hinata was slightly flushed by their activities, laying on Kurama's chest and sliding her hand over his muscles, both were silent until a thought popped up on Hinata's head. "Hey Kurama, have you ever thought of having children?" The male was intrigued by this question and lowered his head to meet her eyes. "Well, to be honest, I never did. But why do you ask?" Hinata let out a brief sigh. "I always wanted a child to care for, like my mom did for me." He hugged her and kissed the top of her head. "I don't know if Bijuu can have offsprings, but we can try." She smiled "What would you like, a boy or a girl?" He chuckled. "Either of them is fine, as long as they come from you." She hugged him hard, pleased with his answer.

When Kiba stopped running he noticed that he had a few followers of the female genre that seemed to be attracted towards him. Among the Inuzuka, the leader usually chose a strong partner to insure strong children, and Kiba was the son of the matriarch, so... he began running for his life because the women were eyeing him as if he were a chunk of meat. "I like girls, but now I HATE fangirls!" Sukina was moving the loads of vegan feed for the herbivore dragons when she heard a rumble of several footsteps and looked up to see a cloud of dust with Kiba on the front. She didn't know what was happening, but she had to help him. So when he got close enough she tripped him in a way that he would land on the grass, leaving the herd to disappear in the distance. "Geh! This stuff tastes awful!" Kiba was about to shout in outrage when he noticed that whoever tripped him had just saved his life. "Hehe, thanks for saving me... Sukina?" She was holding her laughter. "What's the matter?" She stared at his face, so he looked at a bucket of water and saw what made her act that way. There was grass stuck all over his hair, making it look naturally green and there was some tomato smeared on his clothes, not to mention the carrot skin dangling from his ear. "Geh! I'm lookin' like a clown!" The girl threw a towel at him, who promptly wiped out the dirt from his face. "So, why were those girls chasing you?" Kiba thought for a while then shrugged. "Dunno." Then Sukina saw his tail and ears. "I assume that you went to see the gods, right?" He got surprised at her question. "Yeah, but it hurt like hell." He tried to ignore it, but he felt a very addictive scent coming from her, that he had already felt before but now it was stronger due to his even more heightened senses. 'What is this? I've never smelled it before.' She was trying to hold her excitement back, this guy had everything she ever wanted in a mate. He was funny, good to be around, liked the same things as her and was so damn cute and sexy with that body of someone who trained hard his entire life and those furry ears.

Shishihige was trotting along a path, trying to get a time away from his crazed family, humming a tone and skipping lightly. When he got close to an alley, he heard the sound of someone shaking. 'Uh? Who's there?' He investigated the source and got a surprise when his amber colored eyes met pale silver ones. "Hanabi?"


Author note: Well, I've been gone for a while, so I'm sorry. The inspiration well dried up, my muse fled, my will to write had taken off to another country... all that crap that writers with block talk about. If my dear readers want the war timeline or not, you have to review. I'm not a Yamanaka. Bye for now.
