Here is chapter six, and I must admit I am a little disappointed with the review count. Only two reviews on the first chapter and that was it. I appreciate the readers who have followed and favourited, but it would also help me greatly if you reviewed. It will help me to either correct my writing, give more detail or less detail, and if you are in fact enjoying what I've written. Thank you to White chocolate cheesecake (love the name xD it made me crave cheesecake), shadowwolf88 and wolfmoon30 for becoming new followers. Thank you also to wolfmoon30, sierra halle and shadowwolf88 for favouring my fanfiction. As usual I don't own Naruto, just my OCs. Review please!

Mori sighed and leaned her head back against the rocks. Her red eyes opened slowly and stared at the sky, the sound of water trickling and birds chirping filling her ears.

She lifted her head off the edge of the pool, and picked up the small shampoo bottle she had purchased from the attendant before entering the pool.

She poured a small amount and lathered her hair, using her nails to dig the cleaning liquid into her scalp. Even though her scalp prickled, Mori continued with her scrubbing. She couldn't remember the last time she had taken a bath with hot water.

Her captors threw buckets of ice-cold water on her through the bars of her cell when Mori was unconscious from time to time, but that did not count. Those goons would then drag her from her cell to where ever that snake-man was.

It was that, or his 'left hand man' Kabuto.

That boy was one sick pup who had free reign of all of Orochimaru's experiments.

Mori felt her lip curl up in a silent snarl as she grabbed a bucket to rinse her hair out, trying to shake those memories free from her mind. She slowly waded her way out of the pool and got dressed, her spirits being lifted from her deep clean.

As she got dressed, her stomach began to make it's requests known rather loudly.

After saying her farewell to the attendant, she walked to the Konoha market, looking at the different food vendors and what they had to offer. She did not have much money left, but thanks to her mother saving her remaining money for her daughter to survive, she had enough for a bag of apples.

It wasn't much, but it would have to do. She preferred hunting for a meal in the forest instead, but with those goons looking out for her it would be best to stay in the village.

"Well someone cleaned up nicely" a voice said from behind her.

Turning, Mori noticed Kakashi looking at her with a smile, his arm full of groceries. She nodded and retrieved her purchase from the vendor with a quiet 'thanks'.

"Indeed, it has been a long time since I felt hot water" Mori murmured, and began walking towards one of the many practice fields that dotted Konoha.

Kakashi began walking with Mori, the two walking in a comfortable silent. Mori's attention was centered on getting back to the forest and reverting back to the white wolf, and Kakashi could sense that.

Stopping on the edge of the training field, Mori took out an apple and bit into it, enjoying the rush of sweetness that accompanied the fruit.

"The Hokage would like to see you tomorrow" Kakashi said, before turning and setting off.

He did not have to see if his long time friend had heard him; he knew Mori would be at the Hokage's building tomorrow. He had known Mori for a long time, since he had become Jonin and relied on the she-wolf for anything.

Hearing Kakashi's footsteps fade in the distance, Mori finished her fruit and walked to the middle of the field, calling upon her wolf chakra at the same time. To the normal person, she would appear to be human in one instant, and the next a white wolf.

If her transformation was slowed down to the point where the naked eye could follow, they would notice her skin split down the middle as her nose and mouth elongated into a snout and maw. White fur sprouted from her pores, and her human ears became pointed and moved to the top of her head.

Her tailbone elongated into a tail, and her fingers phased together to pads on her paws. Her fingernails turned black and sharpened to points, while her canines lengthened to razor sharp points.

Mori shook out her fur as a fury of smells assaulted her nose. Compared to a wolf's nose, a human's nose was nothing. Lifting her head, she released a happy howl that scared some birds from a nearby tree.

She could finally relax and not have to worry about hiding, or if her captors were coming to bring her to Orochimaru or Kabuto.

Her howl tapered off in the end as she dashed into the trees, her tongue lolling out of her mouth as she took in the scents of the forest. Small animals darted away from her paws in fear as she dashed about, happy and relieved to be clean and safe.

Coming to a stop, Mori cocked her ears, listening intently for prey. Hearing nothing, Mori shook her fur again and padded towards the sound of a bubbling stream. There were a bunch of rocks that jutted out of the ground nearby and she padded her way towards it. A large tree had branches that were hanging over the top of the rocks that created a leafy roof. Using her back legs, Mori sprang up on top of the rocks and settled under the branches, laying her head on top of her front paws.

She glanced up as a bird flew by, chasing and shrieking to another larger bird to stay away from it's nest. The sky became streaked with red and purple as the sun began to set, and Mori felt weariness pulling at her body. She could finally have a peaceful and dry sleep.

Looking up at the dusk-kissed sky, Mori released one more howl before settling back down on her paws for the night.

"Mother...Hideo...I will find you and save you!"
