Dog/Dog Days

(Kelly's P.O.V.)

I smirked from my place in a tree as I watched Kabuto trying desperately to lose the group of kitsune girls who were following him. Ever since we had arrived they'd been attracted to him, and the poor boy had been…perturbed to say the least.

"This is so awkward it's funny." Baldwin laughed.

Then, the air was pierced with an icy howl. I startled and fell right off of the branch I had been sitting on, only to be caught by two of my favorite arms in the world.

"Hi sweetie." I said as Orochimaru helped me to my feet. "Any idea what the hell that was?"

"My guess is it's the Wolf clan." He replied.

We made our way to the entrance of the Kitsune Palace where a group had gathered. In it I spotted the Inuzaka clan with their respective summons, as well as Griffin who was up in the air, probably spotting for Itachi. As I looked into the distance I saw a cloud of dust coming towards us. More howls sounded and after a bit the Wolf clan was upon us, with their God leading the way.

They all looked fierce; men and woman alike sat astride on their panting mounts, their faces streaked with war-paint. The Wolf god himself was even more impressive, he was a huge, dark grey, shaggy creature with white under his chin and big, bushy white eyebrows.

"Greetings Kareigami," the wolf said, "it has been too long."

I turned around to see the Kitsune Goddess behind me, with the ghostly image of Kyuubi in tow. We had asked her about the 9 tailed demon being her son, but she had politely requested that we wait for all the clans to assemble before telling us her story.

I keep telling everyone that I will finish this story. No story left behind! Even the really crap ones!

Next up, my snake lord has an interesting meeting!

"Urufugami, I am glad to see you are well. Yours is the first clan to arrive here."

"Of course, we wolves are swift to answer the call."

The wolf clan went 'Hah!' in response and shook their spears.

"We shall make camp by the river then. To me my clansmen!" Urufu said, trotting off.

Orochimaru and I watched as the Inuzaka clan exchanged a few brief words with the some of the wolves and their riders before they went their own ways.

"Astounding." Orochimaru said.

"I love Urufu's eyebrows." I replied.
