A/N: Sorry this took so long. I had lots and lots and lots of stuff to do, my brain's been flying everywhere, and I tried to learn how to make quotes correctly (I'm in middle school, mind you please. And no, I will not give you my numbers.) Well, hope this feeds your hunger for a while. Next chapter should be up soon, if I can get off my lazy bum first!
Swirls of black darkness clouded the scenery, creating a hollow atmosphere. Three barely conscious figures twitched and squirmed around the black captive hands gripping their arms and legs. Laughter and chuckles from little children echoed throughout the dimension as they stirred. One by one they were pushed upright by the arms of flailing darkness, blinking and yawning as they tried to stretch. They immediately tensed as they finally felt the shadowing arms holding them captive.
"Sasuke-kun, where are we?" Sakura asked, looking at the background. Pure darkness taunted the poor pink-headed girl as she shivered a bit.
"Hn." Sasuke grunted and peered through the inky terrain as if to find the exit.
"Sakura-chan, this place is creepy! How did we get here?" Naruto shivered as if he felt shadowed hands reaching his face. Sasuke and Sakura glanced around once more. How did they get here?
But just a few seconds later, a large creaking sound that overshadowed the giggles of children, sounded. The noises from the children faded into darkness, and the creaking grew louder, as if one was opening a door that's hinges were rusted. A blaring white door with intricate designs carved on it suddenly appeared in front of them, creaking as it opened fully. Silence reigned once more over the creepy dreamland.
The soft patting of fluffy paws on marble floor sounded as a gray wolf padded into sight; it's amber eyes surveying the three shivering ninjas on the floor. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura seemed to be scared at first, but relaxed when they noticed that it was Kaine. The wolf seemed to glare at them with possessed eyes, but then shifted it's gaze. Then, it spoke,
"Hello. What a fancy seeing you three here." A soft male melodic voice, unlike the gruff growls of a normal wolf, echoed throughout the place. Naruto and Sakura gasped. Sasuke visibly tensed. Then, as if by magic, the restraining arms of shadows melted to the floor like dark pools of ink. It turned to them with a grinning smirk on its muzzle, as if taunting them.
"Hey! Wolfie! Do you know why we're here? Or how we can get out?" Naruto burst out, slightly panicking about where they were currently sitting in. Sakura's eyes shifted nervously around, trying to avoid the gaze of the wolf.
The wolf's smirk ran off it's face and growled, "Don't call me wolfie! I have a name, dumbass!" (A/N: Who ever knew that wolves can swear at people! :D) Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were shocked at the wolf's profanity. The wolf, sensing the uneasy tension, cleared it's throat.
"I guess I shouldn't be in this form right now. I think it'd be best if I gave you the information regarding this predicament in a more… comfortable form. I'm going to be guiding you three for some time, anyways." The wolf sighed, and swirls of inky darkness shrouded the wolf like a smokescreen. A small audible Pop! Sounded, and the trio braced themselves for whatever form the 'wolf' might show up in. Would it be a bird? Another animal? Who will know?
