Yeah I'm back! You might be wondering way I haven't uploaded any more chapters to this story in a while. Well the reason is that because my other two stories seemed to have much more attention then this one I kind of abandoned it. Soon after I thought even if not many fans follow this story it would be wrong to forget about you guys. So as an apology I'm uploading two chapters! Hope you enjoy.

(Author's Note: You do need to know something about Itachi. Since he has been turned into the wolf he kind of has a beast like thought process, and yes you will be hearing his thoughts sometimes in this story.)

The boy had escaped into the wood where he lived. He spent most of his time a wolf. It was easier living then as a human. Though he had turned into a beast, he still had the desire to explore as any young boy would. As he explored he found the deepest depths of the woods. He discovered places he was sure no other man had found. He traveled so far he was sure he was in a different kingdom.

One day at the age of thirteen, Itachi found something strange. There was a cot in the middle of the woods. He found this strange because many people found the woods dangerous and preferred to live as far away as possible. Even when the men would hunt they only would skim the edge of the forest never going in deeper. So that day when he saw an elderly woman and a little girl living in the woods he was very curious.

He would watched them from a far as they went about their day. Then one day the little girl came out in a white cloak. He was slightly saddened by this since he had never actually seen her face and was hoping to, but then he noticed that the girl started to the woods. So in curiosity he followed her. She run round the trees giggling loudly frightening the birds. Then as the girl wandered around a tree she disappeared from his site so he wondered closer and looked for her worried about her safety.

As he rounded the corner of the tree he walked snout first into an eight year old's hug. His wolf eye's widened in shock. He was frozen as the little girl continued to pet his snout saying,

"Pretty doggy."

Soon after this encounter with the girl he became quite attached and followed her everywhere when she went in the woods. You could say they became close friends, until the day that the lumberjack just happened to be in the woods too. He stumbled upon the little girl and the wolf and instantly thought him a danger. So Itachi ran off scared of the man.

Itachi never truly left though he watched making sure the girl was okay. He left the day he knew she would be fine on her own.

*Time Skip*

Itachi was wondering the woods at night as usual when he heard foot steps, and the crackle of a fire. So he curiously wandered toward it. He then heard thrashing and screaming. He ran toward the area. He look toward the two people see that one was being attacked. He looked closer and instantly knew who it was. His emerald eyes that were wide with terror stuck to him as he attacked the man on her.

As the man died he rose his mussel that was dripping in blood. He turned to her and noticed her fear and couldn't leave her here alone.

So he change to his original form, and stepped toward her.

So here are some more things you need to know.

1. Sakura is very uneducated and native'. She lived in a cabin all her live; she isn't familiar with the outside world. I believe, keeping these facts in mind, would have said something along the lines of "Pretty doggy." at first meeting Itachi.

2. She pretty much taught herself every thing she knows.

3. Itachi is not a stalker. He just hasn't been around humans in a while.

So enjoy! :)
