When it is in third person and the dogs are talking the words will be tilted. Thank you for all the reviews, favs and follows :D

I also had help with the first chapter, a beta. However my beta wasn't on today so when she is on I might be replacing this chapter with the edited one.

These dogs were either very well trained or just really weird. As I was leading the way home I had noticed that the dogs were walking in groups of two. What I found even stranger was that the dogs seemed to be talking to each other the way humans would. What I mean is they weren't all barking at the same time. Instead one dog would bark and it's walking partner would bark back. The loudest of the dogs had to he the orange faced one, who was barking excitedly and jumping around everywhere.

The dogs walked like this:

The large blue dog with black eyes walked next to the red eye'd black lab. They weren't barking too much but I swear I heard the blue dog chuckle some more. Those two were walking on my left side. The blue dog was also the largest in the group of ten. If it wasn't for how they responded towards the orange dog I would have thought he was the alpha of the group.

On my write side walked the golden retriever and the red dog I didn't know the breed of. These two were doing much more barking. Actually it was more like growling at each other. They were obviously fighting about something but what I didn't know. It wasn't like they were attacking each other, which I was glad about. The dogs were just growling at each other and, if I could understand dog, I would probably say they were arguing about something. Still, I wouldn't want to get in-between them.

Behind me walked the tiger dog and the female dog. Our of all ten dogs they were actually the most quiet. However I could feel myself being stared at by both dogs, which was a little creepy. I forced myself to shake it off as them being curious about their new owner.

The weird half white, half black dog walked in front of me with the hyper orange faced dog. The orange faced dog was barking excitedly and jumping everywhere. In fact the dog was so hyper that the people that walked past me would often complain that the dog almost knocked them down and that he, which they called the dog -I am unsure about their genders- should be on a leash. The white/black dog was growling lowly but besides that was rather quiet.

The last two dogs were walking near the back of the group. I was actually pretty glad about that to tell the truth. A few times I would turn my head around to make sure the two were behaving but otherwise let the alpha dog handle them. For the first five to the minutes the silver dog and the tan pit bull seemed to behave but it wasn't long after they began to fight. Much to my embarrassment some people would even stop and watch the dogs fight, mothers would carry their children until we were gone and I was told to get those dogs on a leash. Luckily I was nearly home and hopefully the dogs would behave again.

"Well, here we are doggies. This is where I live." I interrupted the dogs' talking as I used a key to unlock the front gate. Something I was really grateful for was that my foster parents had one of those automatic doors and a buzzer for visitors; it kept unwanted visitors out.

As if on cue all the dogs stopped their barking and looked up at the giant gates. I chuckled warmly and pushed them open, showing the large front yard that sat in front of the mansion. I didn't know how big the house actually was foot by foot but I knew enough to know the house took up at least half a block in both lengths; at least that is what I was told. Everyone was surprised when the first saw the house so I wouldn't be surprised if the dogs felt the same way. After all they did become oddly quiet when they saw the house.

"Big, isn't it?" I asked as I lead the dogs through the gates. Once all the dogs were in I closed and locked the gates behind me.

"This mansion used to belong to my foster family. That is until they died six years ago. Because they had no living, blood related family, I got the house and everything in it." I said, smiling as the dogs followed me to the front door. However my smile dropped as I opened my front door and let all the dogs in.

"It is the only kind thing I ever got out of the bastards." I grumbled bitterly as I began to lead them to the main kitchen. I didn't mean to swear but having reminded myself of my so called parents I just happened to lose my temper.

~Third person P.O.V~

"I wonder what her foster parents did to make her speak of them like that." Sasori barked as they entered the front room. If they could, the others would have shrugged as the followed the young human down a carpeted hallway.

"Who knows, un. However, if she said they died six years ago, she must be a orphan, yeah." Deidara answered as he watched his surroundings as they walked. Odd but so far he couldn't see or sense any other humans in the house besides the girl; even then he couldn't sense any chakra from her. She must have just been a simple village girl like the rest of the humans he came across so far.

"Who cares about that? This house is fucking huge!" Hidan shouted loudly as he looked at ever single door they past. Towards the yell, which turned out as a loud bark to Ashlen, the girl flinched in surprise and stared back at the silver dog.

'Damn that scared me! I guess I have to get used to the extra noise now.' she thought to herself as she turned left in the hallway and walked down yet another hall. Only the dogs that hadn't been paying attention to their surroundings noticed the girl flinch and look back at them.

"Indeed it is. This place will make the perfect base for when we return to our human forms." Pein agreed with the Jashinist but ignored his swearing. Beside him the only female dog frowned thoughtfully.

"Pein, before we do that, shouldn't we figure out where we are? When we return back to normal we should question this girl on what village we are in." Konan spoke softly. Pein turned his head towards the purple dog and nodded his head.

"Yes, I know that, Konan. We will indeed question her once we returns to normal." Konan and the other members nodded their heads. Ashlen looked behind her at the dogs and smiled as she heard their barking.

"Heh, you guys sure are talkative, aren't you?" the young girl chuckled as she opened a door that finally lead into a large kitchen. "I actually like that. This house has been quiet for far too long; I'm just going to have to get used to it is all." she continued and walked over to the fridge. The ten dogs walked inside the kitchen but stopped following a few feet away from the girl and simply watched her.

The kitchen consisted of three dozen wall cabinets which held cups, plates and bowls. The two dozen cabinets, which could be found in the counters, held pots, pans, cheese graters and other important cooking tools. A row of five pots hug above a ten element oven, which also had three over doors. Lastly there was ten pull out mini drawers. One held forks, another held spoons, the third held knifes and the others held measuring cups, spoons, oven mites and all of that stuff. The fridge itself was at least three times the size of a normal fridge and came equipped with a freezer just as big. In the middle of the room sat a large island counter which was originally meant for mixing ingredients but now Ashlen used it as her dinning table.

"This is the biggest kitchen I have ever seen." Kisame said as he looked around in amazement. Itachi hnned beside him as he paid more attention to the girl then the actual size of the room they were in.

'There is something off about this girl. I can't sense any chakra nor can I sense anyone else in the house. She might be a simply village girl but something doesn't seem right.' the Uchiha thought and just missed something Zetsu agreed about. It didn't matter, listening to the cannibalistic man argue with himself became tiring after a while anyways.

"Hey, when we are done questioning the bitch, can I kill her?" Hidan suddenly asked, eyeing the girl evilly, his tail wagging slowly as he began to think of his first sacrifice for when he was human again. Pein began to ponder this.

"No, I don't think that would be a smart idea. This is a weird village. There are so many strange things here. This girl can help us understand this village. However, once she is no longer any use to us, then you can kill her." Pein answered after a moment of thinking as he watched the young girl pull food out of the fridge. Hidan began to chuckle darkly as he kept thinking about sacrifice and murder.

"Aw, but why do we have to kill the pretty girl? She saved us from that animal prison." Tobi barked as he jumped over Ashlen, interesting in what she was doing, placing his front paws on the counter to stand the best he could. The girl giggled and paused from her cooking to pat his head.

"Pein, Tobi's right. Even though Hidan attempted to kill her, she still saved us. The least we should do is spear her life." Konan said in a gently, calm tone. The Akatsuki leader sighed and wished he could rub his forehead.

"Just give me some time to think about it. I will know what to do by then." Pein ordered. Everyone agreed, except for Hidan who started grumbling.

"I want to kill the fucking bitch." The Jashinist snarled, baring his sharp teeth in anger. Kakuzu snarled back at him and hit the silver dog over the head with his paw.

"If you were smart, Hidan, you'd just up and just listen to the leader." He growled annoyingly. Hidan glared back at the tan pit bull before stalking to the corner of the room and laid down.

~Normal P.O.V~

It felt nice to hear some barking as I prepared to make myself and the dogs supper. I had always wanted a pet but my foster family didn't want to deal with the mess the animal would make. They make too much of a mess and smell bad they told me. Once they died I was too concerned in taking care of myself to think of getting myself a pet. Now I had ten new dogs, all of which looked unique and big enough to give a toddler a back ride without hurting themselves.

Now, since I didn't have any dog food I'd have to feed my new pets human good. Something with meat would be perfect. So, because I wasn't a big fan of stack, I pulled out elven pork chops and a cup full of white rice. The pork chops were already seasoned so all I had to do was salt and pepper them. The rice would be easier but would take a while to cook.

"Hello there, boy. Come to see what I am making?" I asked the orange faced dog as he appeared besides me. Patting his head I giggled when the dog barked and licked my face, getting me to giggle some more.

"Alright, the good should be ready in about twenty minutes." I said as I placed the meat on the heated pans. I put two pork chops per pan, and placed the rice in the microwave.

"I guess in the meantime I can give you all names." I said, turning down the heat only slightly so the pork wouldn't burn while I wasn't paying attention. I then pulled away from the counter and the orange faced dog jumped away from the counter and followed me.

Because I didn't want to chance food actually burning, I decided to stay in the kitchen to give the dogs their names. So I stopped walking in front of the dogs and sat leg crossed on the tile floor. The orange faced dog ran past me and sat next to the split colored dog again. Huh, if it wasn't for his size I'd almost think he was a puppy. He had so much energy that I almost expected to see him bouncing off the walls. Then again I guess all dogs could have a lot of energy if they weren't too old.

Another thing I noticed was that the silver dog was no longer in the group. I blinked in confusion before looking around the kitchen, finally finding him in the far corner of the kitchen. Why he separated himself from the others I'm not sure but I couldn't help but feel a little glad. The silver dog had caused a lot of trouble since I first met him so I am glad he separated himself; I didn't have to listen to his snarling while I prepared supper. Still I kind of needed him over here to name him.

"Come here, boy. Time to get your name." I whistled to the silver dog. He only snarled at me and didn't move from his spot.

Sighing to myself I just accepted the fact he didn't like me yet. I could still name him from this distance so it wasn't too much of a big deal. Maybe if I gave him a good enough name he'd like me. I was a big fan of monsters and Halloween so, if I could, I've love to give them names based on such. I wanted to try to keep true to their looks and personalities as well, even if I've known the dogs for only over an hour now.

"OK, I am going to name you Ghost. You're fur is silver, the same as a ghost. Plus, you kind of scare me." I admitted and shivered as the dog lifted his head and grinned at me, licking his lips. I don't know if it possible but I think he understood me.

Once that was over with I turned my attention to the other dogs. All nine of them were now looking up at me, as if waiting for their names. It may have been a trick of the eye but some of the dogs looked nervous and uneasy while others looked curious. Were they scared? Curious I can understand but why nervous? Well, never mind that right now. On to the other dogs.

To my surprise the orange faced dog started barking again and jumped in my lap. I smiled at him, who I could tell was a boy up close, and scratched the top of his head. Also up close I could see that his eyes were brown. Or at least one of them was. The other was a light red, which caused me to believe he was half blind. I'm guessing he wanted to get his name before all the others. That or he was just very friendly. It could have been both as well.

"For some reason I want to call you Jack-O-lantern. I think it fits your face well and I can call you Jack for short." I said as I ruffled the top of his head. Jack barked happily and licked my face again.

As I laughed I noticed that a few of the dogs rolled their eyes while others just stared at me dully. I was really starting to get more and more impressed with these dogs by the second. If they are smart enough to give facial exceptions like this then training them should be easy. As long as they corporate with me that is.

The next dog I looked at as the black-white split dog. The only thing Halloween based that popped up in my mind was a skeleton costume. Perhaps it was because of the color of his fur and eyes, which were yellow. I think the dog was either getting impatient with me or simply annoyed at the fact I was staring. Either way the dog, who I could also tell was a male up close, growled and barked at me.

"Oh, sorry. Your name will be Skully. It is short for skeleton." I said, smiling at the dog. Unless it was a trick of my own eyes, I saw his black side's eye roll but the white eye continue to stare at me. Weird.

I shook off the thought and looked at the golden retriever. This dog was harder to tell the gender of and checking the private area to make sure was out of the question. That was much too weird and the dog was much too big for me to lift without being fought with. Although, up close, I could see that this dog had lovely blue eyes and I felt somewhere in the pit of my stomach that it was a boy. So thinking of a Halloween based name would actually be quiet easy.

"I like the name Wolfy for you. It is short for werewolf and seems to fit you well." I said and then laughed as the dog blinked at me with it's one visible eye, looking confused. I laughed even more as the others looked as confused as the retriever.

"A werewolf if a human that turns into a beast form of a wolf in the light of the full moon. You never know who could be a werewolf. However, like vampires, they are usually very handsome or cute." I said,scratching behind his ear. By the way Wolfy was smirking it was as if he understood my handsome comment.

The next dog I looked at was the red dog. He was one of the few dogs that was actually looking at me calmly. Up close I saw that his eyes were brown and matched nicely to his fur. Besides the red fur I couldn't see anything weird about him, besides the fact I could tell the dog was indeed male. Anyways I had a few idea for his name. Candy Apple -C.A for short- cinnamon, flame and even blood. However I think Autumn was a better name for him. It wasn't exactly a Halloween name bu it was the season that Halloween was held in.

"You're name will be Autumn because your fur reminds me of the red leafs on the trees right now." I said with a smile, causing Autumn to nod before laying on his stomach and continued to watch me. I ignored the weird behavior and looked at the dog next to him.

It was the tanned pit bull with the scars. I already had a name in mind for him and the idea caused me to smirk. I just hoped the name wouldn't be too insensitive seeing as though this dog most likely got the scars from abuse. I mean he could have been deformed like that, which could happen with siblings mating; or so I heard. So he could have had surgery to fix the deformity. Either way the name I was thinking was perfect for the dog.

"You're name will be Frankenstein and before you give me that look again, I'll explain. Frankenstein was a famous mad scientist that created a monstrous man out of dead body parts. The monster wasn't given an actual name so people typical just call him Frankenstein." I explained and the room was suddenly filled with Ghost's barking. I could swear that dog was laughing and now a few other dogs sounded like they were either snickering or laughing.

This time around I ignored the laughing dogs as I looked at the next dog. It was the black lab with red eyes. What was even stranger was I thought I could see something in the eyes. The looked like black marks but I couldn't see perfectly. So I leaned in a little closer and saw that the black marks almost looked like commas and they surrounded the eye. How odd, I never seen an eye, animal or human, like that before.

I was suddenly caught off guard as the black lab put his paw on my face and pushed. I leaned back in my original spot and blushed in embarrassment. I guess this dog didn't like me being so close and was telling me the best way he knew how. Or he just didn't want me looking into his eyes.

"Sorry about that." I apologized and forced myself to shake off the blush. Why would I feel embarrassed when it was just me and a group of dogs? It's not like anyone else was around. Oh well, onto the naming.

"I want to name you Nightmare. There is just something about your eyes that seem... well, haunting." I said, smiling down at the dog warmly and rubbed the top of his head. Once again I heard the dogs bark in that laughing, or rather in a snickering, way; the blue one that sat beside him even covered his mouth with his arm as he barked.

Rolling my eyes, I just ignored the dogs as I moved onto the large blue dog. Now that he was closer, I could study him better. Under his eyes I saw that he had some black markings that almost looked like fish gills. There was also some on each of his shoulders. Not only did it look like he had fish gills but his teeth was sharper than the others. Take all that and his size in account, in which I wonder if he could support my weight, I had the perfect name in mind for him.

"Since you remind me of a shark for some reason, that is what your name will be. Or do you prefer Jaws any better?" I asked, petting him down the head. Yeah I know the name wasn't really Halloweeny but sharks can be monstrous and the dog seemed to be happy with it; his tail was wagging and he was giving me a strange grin.

Now there was only two dogs left to name. There was the purple female and the orange dog that reminded me a tiger. Even after thinking for a few minutes I could not think of good enough names. At least not names that had much to do with Halloween. At least with Shark he is named after animals that are scary killers that live in water. I had ideas for these two but I wanted a moment more to think about them.

As I stared at the orange male, I noticed that his grayish purple eyes had rings in them. Huh, this was almost weirder than Nightmare's eyes. Did the rings mean the dog was blind or something? I don't think so because he was looking right back at me find enough. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. All of these dogs have something strange about them so why should this dog be any different?

"Alright, I want to name you Saber. It is sort for sabertooth tiger. I don't mean to say you have big teeth or anything like that. It's just with those strips and fur color you remind me of a tiger. Saber is just a cooler name than Tiger." I told him and this time I didn't hear much from the other dogs. I guess they knew better than to laugh at their alpha so I just turned my attention to the female dog.

"I want to name you Wendy, after a witch. A friendly witch (1)." I said, adding in the last part as so not to offend the dog. Ghost already seemed to hate me and I didn't want to make enemies with any of the others.

Thankfully it didn't look like she was offended. In fact she looked as calm as Autumn, Nightmare and Saber. I was grateful for that. Really, Ghost hated me and I don't think Frankenstein liked his name. Those are two of the dogs I should avoid until I can get them trained. Suddenly one of the dogs started to bark franticly. Looking behind me I saw that Skully was near the stove and looking back at me. I wondered if he was getting impatient or...

"Crap!" I shouted as I smelt the meat starting to burn. I jumped up from my spot on the floor and ran over to the stove.

"Thanks for the warning, Skully." I said, patting him on the head before I turned off the stove elements. As I did that the microwave dinned, singling that the rice was ready to take out.

"Alright, guys, it's time to eat." I said as I put ten bowls on the floor, In each bowl I put one pork chop and a spoon full of rice. I smiled as they began to eat, quite hungrily I might add.

So once I was sure the dogs were taken care of I dished out my own food. I got out a fork and a knife for my pork chop and I pulled out the soy sauce for the rice. Once that was all ready I took my plate over to the island, which I have been using as a table for years now. There was a dinning room in just the other room but I had no problems eating in the kitchen. I did need one of those bar stool chairs to reach the top of the island but I still found it easier eating in the kitchen. Now, as I ate I watched the dogs and smiled. The day would be over in a few hours so I wonder what tomorrow would be like with my new pets.

(1) For those that don't know Wendy is a character in a Casper comic and she even appears in a movie with Casper

Now please review and tell me what you think :D I will work on editing chapter 3 in a few days
