Minato was dazed as he opened his eyes. He didn't know where he was, but he knew he was in pain. He blinked as he tried to remember what had happened.

"Minato?" he heard his name.

He groaned again and held his head up as much as he could, but his vision was blurred and could only see a purple blob in front of him.

"What?" he slurred, trying to clear his vision. "Who are you?"

"Anko." the purple blob stated.

Minato shook his head and tried to see the wolf again. It seemed to work because his sight cleared somewhat.

"Where..." Minato voice cracked.

Anko decided to be merciful and got him some water. Minato lapped up that water like he was dying of thirst; he made sure that he drank as much water as he could before the water was taken away.

"Are you done?" Anko asked coldly. She was done being nice. This was the wolf who had almost destroyed the lives of two of her closest friends. She wasn't going to tolerate it.

Minato swallowed the last of the water and took a deep breath. He let himself relax, now that he had something in him.

"Yes."

"Good." Anko stated. "I have much to talk to you about."

Minato titled his head confused. "What are you talking about?"

Anko glared angrily. "What do you mean 'what are you talking about'? Don't you have any idea what you've done?"

Minato cringed at the anger directed to him.

"I don't know." he said truthfully. "I don't remember."

"How dare you-" Anko shouted.

"Anko." Asuma cut her off. "That's enough."

Anko glared at the wolf beside her. She wanted to yell and scream at the wolf in front of her so badly... She was so mad and she wanted to hurt Minato as much as possible.

"Fine." she gave up.

Asuma sighed relieved that Anko had given up so easily. He didn't know what she was going to do if he couldn't get her to stop.

"What's going on?" asked Minato confused to what was going on. Anko was mad at him for some reason but he didn't know why.

"The Urge took over you."

A horrified look overcame Minato from the shock of what those five words implied. He didn't think it was possible that something like the Urge would overtake him. Thinking of the pain he was in, he realized what he'd done.

"What happened?" he asked quickly. "Who did I hurt?"

"How do you know you hurt someone?" asked Anko accusingly.

"Anko!" Asuma yelled in his disproval.

"My body's in so much pain I'm numb." Minato explained. "I know I did something. I hurt someone... oh, Gods, did I take someone?"

The two wolves in front of him looked at each other and he knew; he knew that he had done something terribly wrong. He just prayed that whomever he'd hurt would forgive him.

"I did hurt someone." Minato stated.

Anko didn't hold back. "Yeah, you did, you fucking bastard!"

Asuma quickly calmed Anko down before she got too out of hand.

"What she means is-"

"Who?" Minato cut Asuma off. "Who did I hurt?"

Asuma sighed knowing this wasn't going to be easy on the younger wolf. "You attacked Kushina and then Iruka, planning on taking him as your mate."

Minato gasped, eyes widened in shock at what he had done under the Urge's influence.

"Did I?" Minato couldn't even think of it.

To his relief Asuma shook his head. "No but you hurt him badly."

"What about Kushina?" Minato asked. "Is she okay?"

"She's fine." Asuma assured. "A little banged up but she is fine."

"Thank goodness." Minato sighed in relief, thinking the worst was over.

"Don't sweet talk it, Asuma!" Anko butted in. "You better tell him the rest!"

Minato was looking at the two desperately. "What... What did I do...? Was there another?"

Asuma knew that he had no choice.

"We have gotten some new additions to our pack. One of them is a... unique wolf that Iruka-our Alpha-took under his wing; he saw you attacking Iruka and rushed to save him. You turned your interests toward that wolf."

"I hurt him, too." Minato said more than asked.

Asuma nodded his head. Anko glared at Minato and he knew that he did more than hurt him.

"I took him." Minato stated.

"Partly." Asuma explained. "We were able to take you down before you could finish."

Minato's ears perked up in hope. "I have a mate out there...?"

"No." Anko said sharply. "Not anymore. Iruka took care of it."

"I don't believe that Iruka would suddenly take on a mate." Minato not entirely believing her.

"The wolf you attacked was Iruka's intended; they were going to mate anyway." Asuma told him.

"So that wolf..."

Asuma nodded. "Yes, you almost ruined it for them, but its okay now."

Anko was gaping at him. "How can you say that Kakashi is okay? He's scared to death and he's going to have nightmares for who knows how long!"

Minato was silent as the she wolf ranted on and on about how he'd almost destroyed Kakashi's life.

"Kakashi..." Minato whispered. "Is that the wolf I hurt?"

Anko stopped her ranting and remain quiet, shuddering in repressed rage.

"Yes." Asuma answered. "His Iruka's mate now."

"That's good." the statement was almost too quiet for it to be heard. "I'm glad that Kakashi is with Iruka. I didn't mean to hurt him. I don't even remember."

Anko wanted to be mad at him but looking at him like this, she couldn't stay mad. So, she settled for leaving. She couldn't be in the same room as Minato; not with her mixed emotions. Asuma looked on sadly as Anko left. He knew that she was having a difficult time. He was too, but he knew how to hide it better than most.

"Excuse her; she's grown attached to Kakashi and having you hurt him, she wants to hurt you even worse."

"So why doesn't she?" Minato asked. "I deserve it."

"Because," Asuma started, "she knows that you didn't mean it and you had no control over yourself. And knowing that you don't remember any of this makes it all-the-more difficult for her."

Minato didn't respond. Asuma knew that Minato was done talking, for the moment, at least. Without another word, Asuma left Minato to himself.

After Asuma left, Minato looked up to the entrance of the medical den. He knew that he shouldn't, but he had to. He had to do this. It was the only way to settle the horrors in his mind. He was going to see Iruka and hopefully find forgiveness with the brown wolf.

Iruka smiled happily as he exited his den. He had just finished a very good round of love-making with Kakashi and was done cleaning him. Kakashi was resting and possibly asleep by now. He was so happy with his life right now. He knew, though, that it wouldn't last but he was going to cherish every minute he could. It was the fact that there were so many enemies left in this world that left him anxious. It scared him every day that he could lose Kakashi to something or other. It was Orochimaru that scared him the most. He was terrified that the evil man would take Kakashi away from him.

Iruka thanked every god he could think of, that Kakashi was still with him-still in his life.

He walked into the woods surrounding his den and stealthily searched in the bush. He was planning to get Kakashi more food. It was late evening when he looked at the sky, and Iruka knew that when Kakashi woke up, he would most likely be hungry again. It was his duty to make sure Kakashi was will fed and secure. As such, he was especially careful as he hunted for food.

He couldn't wait to find out if he was going to have cubs. He loved cubs and had always wanted some, but he'd feared that-because of this war-he wouldn't have the opportunity. Kakashi was making this possible for him. He couldn't ask for more.

Attentively he walked the trials finding rabbit tracks in the ground. They were fresh and Iruka was sure he could get it. He followed the tracks, being as quiet as possible, lest he scare the prey away. Making sure he wasn't going too far from the den, he tracked the rabbit the fastest way he knew: by using his nose. He scented the tracks and knew it was close by. The scent grew stronger with each step and before long, he was within leaping distance of his prey. He could see the rabbit as he crouched down in some nearby brush, making sure that it couldn't see him; he tensed himself to strike. Eyes dilated, Iruka grounded himself, giving him leverage to lunge.

"Iruka!" a scream called his name, scaring away the rabbit. Iruka could care less about the rabbit at that point.

That had been Kakashi's voice shouting his name. Something was very wrong. Iruka forgot about the rabbit and ran towards his den. He pushed himself, forcing his body's limit. He wasn't going to let anything hurt Kakashi, nothing.

It didn't take long to get back to the den. He hadn't gone far, and he could ran very fast when it came to Kakashi. At first, Iruka couldn't see anything wrong with the den. There were no enemies attacking from the outside, and there wasn't any immediately visible damage. It was when he sniffed the air for dangerous smells, was when he found the cause of Kakashi's distress. Wasting no time Iruka shot through the entrance to his den, a growl prominent in his throat. All he knew was that if Kakashi was hurt in any way, he was going to be tearing throats.

The sight that he came upon wasn't pretty, but he was at least relieved that Kakashi didn't look hurt, just scared out of his mind.

"What are you doing here?" Iruka growled.

The one who had entered the den and scaring Kakashi, turned around with wide blue eyes.

"I came to ask for forgiveness," he replied.

Iruka snorted. "This isn't the best way to earn it, Minato."

Minato bowed his head, ashamed of himself. "I know but I didn't think..."

Iruka watched the wolf carefully and before turning his gaze over to Kakashi. The silver wolf was still shivering and whimpering in the farthest corner of the den; he'd probably missed the exchange in his fear. Iruka's eyes softened and he calmly strode over to his mate. As he passed Minato, he gave a low warning growl and nipped his throat as a reminder, should he try anything. Minato got the idea and backed off; he knew Iruka was pissed that he had come and scared his new mate, but he couldn't live with himself, knowing what he had done and what he almost did.

Once Minato left the den, Iruka focused his entire attention on Kakashi. His mate was still whimpering in the corner with his eyes closed and covered; he was even sitting on his own tail to guard against Minato. Iruka knew Kakashi hadn't figured out that Minato was now gone and that it was Iruka standing in front of him. Iruka stepped closer to Kakashi and nudged him with his nose. Kakashi flinched at the touch, but Iruka wasn't insulted. Kakashi still thought he was alone with Minato, after all.

"Shh, Mate," Iruka soothed. "He's gone now, his not going to hurt you."

Kakashi stopped whimpering abruptly at Iruka's voice while his eyes snapped open.

"Iruka!" Kakashi jumped the other wolf. "I thought... I thought he was going to..."

Iruka rubbed his head against Kakashi's, hoping to comfort his distressed mate as best he could.

"It's okay, it's okay." Iruka started to purr. "He won't harm you ever again; I'll make sure of it."

Little by little Kakashi calmed down and took a deep breath. He was so shaken by the appearance of the other wolf. Kakashi hadn't known what to think when Minato had shown up. The only thing he remembered was that Minato was the wolf who'd hurt him. He couldn't go through it again-not again; never again. So, he did the first thing he could think of, and that was to call for Iruka. If anyone could save him, Iruka could.

"Okay," Kakashi breathed. "Okay..."

"You feeling better now, Kakashi?" Iruka asked concerned for his mate.

"I'm not sure..." Kakashi looked down. "I-I just saw him and I felt... cornered... scared... terrified. I couldn't breathe. He's gone, isn't he?"

Iruka was dismayed at the state Kakashi was in; the frighteningly smaller wolf was a bundle of frazzled nerves waiting to snap. He swore on his life, he would help Kakashi through this.

"Yea, his gone, he won't bother us again." Iruka assured Kakashi.

The silver wolf shook his head. "You don't know that."

"I do. At most, you'll only see him rarely; he wouldn't ever touch you again, never; not after the hell he made. I promise that."

"I believe you." Kakashi looked tired.

"Go back to sleep, Kakashi." Iruka advised. "You are exhausted."

"But what if-"

"He won't come near you." Iruka told him firmly.

Kakashi nodded and gave Iruka a small lick before headed back to the bedding. Iruka made sure that Kakashi was sound asleep before checking on something; sure enough, Minato was waiting for him outside.
