Okay, enjoy. Sorry if these are short. Please review.
Time seemed to stop completely. All that was left of the world was you as wolf and human (that is, when you are human, and your wolf self is there, outside of your body. You are one and the same, so when you say something, both of you are saying it) and a voice that seemed to come from nowhere…
Who are you, my conscious or something?
Mm… You could say I am something like that…
What do you mean? Wait! Are you… my wolf-self?
Yes, I suppose so. You know of your clans' heritage, right?
Of course! How can I not?
Your clan has some sort of 'bondage' with us wolves, and with every child born, one of us is infused with that child. The wolf cub chooses its human, and I chose you. We choose our humans based on traits.
You… chose me? And what traits did I have?
Of course. I chose you for your uncanny ability for powerful Genjutsu. I felt that I could someday help you harness its power, and protect your village and clan from harm.
That's wonderful, thank you…
Remember, I will help you when your strength fails, but keep in mind, if you die, I die as well.
Okay…Well, let's get back to the real world now, huh?
Sure.
The world went back to normal as if nothing had happened at all. You stood there, all muscle, your sleek, shiny white fur glistening in the sun. You look at Gaara, who is still on the ground, looking at you. You make a sigh and look at Temari and Kankuro in the distance, who were making camp, for some odd reason. You then look at Tomiju and Chihiro, who were just looking at you.
Tomiju walked a few steps towards you and said calmly, "Taijuu, its time to get out of this form now. You are merely wasting chakra." She looked at you sternly for a moment, then looked over at Chihiro and said, "Come, let's go help them…"
They walk away, Tomiju leading and Chihiro following. Chihiro looks a little frightened as she
looks at you. You nod at her, which makes her feel a little better. She hurries up to Tomiju. You sigh and slowly change back into your regular form. You felt strangely tired, but you couldn't fall asleep now, not with your sisters near these people.
You walk over to Gaara, who was sitting on the ground, with his back against the tree. He was looking at a tree directly across the clearing, and made no notion of sensing you. Nor did he move when you sat down next to him.
"So I guess you're as lonely as they get, hm?" you ask him, looking at the sky. The stars were out and you went looking for constellations.
"You… aren't… afraid…?" Gaara trailed off. You assumed that he didn't talk much to others and that he couldn't find the right words to say sometimes.
"Why should I be afraid? I see nothing to fear from you. All I see is a very lonely young man who desperately wants someone to care for him…"
"Hn…" was all you heard from the red-head. He looked extremely sad, and the bags under his eyes told you that he didn't sleep.
"Here, let me make you a deal. If you tell me what your problem is, I'll become your friend. That's what everybody needs, right? What could you possibly lose?" you say brightly, standing up, holding your hand out to him.
Gaara's face lit up considerably. He got up, taking your hand. "Shukaku… the Sand Spirit…"
"Okay, yeah, this is great! Don't worry about him; he's just a big raccoon!" you smile, revealing your fangs. You could tell that you would never forget Gaara. "We should go see what the others are doing… They might worry about us."
So you two walk over to the rest of the group. They had finished with the fire and were now setting up their sleeping bags. You, Tomiju and Chihiro however, could sleep in your wolf forms and did not need one.
"What have you been up to, my sisters?" you say to Chihiro, with Gaara following behind you.
"Taijuu-neechan!" Chihiro said as she ran up to you and gave you a great big hug. "I'm glad that you are not hurt!"
