A mysterious new pet

A small furry creature wandered around aimlessly around the forest. It was lost; it had no where to go. It came across a village full of humans; maybe one of them could help it. It went into the village, looking for someone, anyone, who could help it. Suddenly, it felt someone picking it up; he looked up to see…a blond girl with blue eyes. She grinned.

"Now what are you supposed to be?" she said.

"Kyu!" the creature said.

Why does this thing seem so familiar…? Wait a minute! Could this be…?!

"Um…With?"

"Kyu! Kyu!" said With.

"I don't believe it! You are Wiz!" said Haruto.

"Kyu," said Wiz.

"How on earth did you end up here? I thought you were supposed to be with Dark and his Tamer Daisuke Niwa!"

"Kyu…"

"You can stay with me until they find you, okay?"

"KYU!"

"What the…! What is that supposed to be?!" said Kankuro and Temari in unison.

"It's a rabbit."

"I've seen a rabbit in books before, and that ain't a rabbit," said Kankuro.

"It's a floppy-eared rabbit, moron."

"It isn't a rabbit."

"Get 'em Wiz!" said Haruto evilly. When Wiz looked at her she grinned and said, "It's Krad in human form."

"KYU!!!" cried Wiz as he unmercifully attacked Kankuro. Temari watched him for a second before she burst out laughing!

"Meet Wiz. He's quite amusing when you give him the right motivation."

"Hey sis! Uh, what's with the weird rabbit?" asked Naruto.

"I told you it was a rabbit!" said Haruto, looking at Temari and Gaara.

"All right, all right…you win the bet," grumbled Temari.

"Haru, what's going on?" asked Naruto.

"I made a bet saying this little guy was a rabbit and they lost."

"What else could it be?"

"An oversized rodent with a long tail," said Gaara.

"Watch it Gaara… I tell people not to fear you after they find out we're friends," said Haruto annoyed.

"Point taken," said Gaara.

"What's its name?" asked Naruto.

"It, as you call him, is named Wiz, or sometimes With."

"Wait…how do you know that?"

"I read…a lot."

"What do you mean?" they asked.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. And before you even think of trying to convince me, I ain't talking."

"But…!"

"Drop it!" growled Haruto. (Her tone suggested something…EVIL…would happen if they pressed her any more.)

As the final exam drew closer, Naruto still couldn't master the art of Summoning. Then Jiraiya had an idea. It was crazy and insane, but it could work. IF HE COULD GET HARUTO TO COOPERATE!!!!

"Why won't you at least try?!"

"Easy, me and swamp creatures DO NOT MIX. Do you even know what my version of hell on earth would be like?!"

"No."

"Have you ever been to the Hidden Mist village?"

"Yes, several times. Why?"

"Imagine a SAND Genin stuck there for two years straight, no contact with Sunakagure at all."

"That would probably be a nightmare."

"And imagine the Genin being an in-training Black Ops girl."

"Even bigger nightmare?" said Jiraiya, apparently not getting the point.

"You got stuck in the Mist village for two years straight? Man, that would probably be a living hell for someone from the Sand village!" said Naruto.

"How ironic…"

"What?"

"You get the point and this perverted sage doesn't!" snorted Haruto.

"I get it alright. Frogs usually come from swamps, don't they?"

"Normally yes," said Jiraiya.

"Well, Haru is a Sand Genin Black Op. So if she were stuck in the Mist village for 2 years. She had to deal with all sorts of creatures, frogs included."

"How is it that the so-called Village Idiot understands my point, yet the perverted sage can't get it through his thick head?"

"Thanks…I think."

"Naruto, who is this girl anyway?!" grumbled Jiraiya.

"She's my twin, Haruto."

"Haruto?! You've got to be kidding!"

"It's better than being a perverted sage named Jiraiya."

"She got you there."

Jiraiya shot Naruto a death-glare. Haruto shot one right back. (The only difference was, Haruto was more experienced with shooting death-glares!)

"Give me one good reason WHY I should even attempt this," said Haruto.

"You two are twins, right?"

"Yeah…"

"Well, that means you share identical blood. Naruto made the blood-pact on the scroll…so, there's a chance she could perform the Summoning Jutsu because of you two being identical twins."

"That is one of the most…!"

"I don't know…it kinda makes sense," said Naruto.

"What do I have to do?" sighed Haruto.

"I'll show you the moves; all you have to do is repeat the moves exactly."

"Fair enough. But if this doesn't work, (which I suspect it won't), then you never bother me about it again!"

"Deal."

Jiraiya showed her the moves, which she repeated exactly. At first, nothing happened; then, a familiar seal followed a large puff of smoke. When it dissipated, a frog sat there on a stone and said, "Whadda want?! I was in the middle of something here!"

"What the…?! Great…just freakin great…" said Haruto in disbelief.

"How is it your twin can summon correctly on the first try and you can barely get a tadpole?"

"Shaddup…"

"Maybe it's because Naruto doesn't have enough chakra readily available. That could be the problem."

"We've been trying to get your brother to access the Kyuubi's chakra at will. You can see how far we've gotten…"

"You've been trying to get Kyuubi no Kitsune's chakra?! You must be a complete IDIOT!!" said Haruto in disbelief.

She left after the frog went back; she gave Jiraiya a look that said, "Bug me again about this and I will kill you!"

In the end, Jiraiya did something that did not sit well with either Gaara OR Naruto. Instead of throwing just ONE of the twins over the falls, he pushed BOTH of them over. Haruto was horrified…well, horrified and royally pissed off at the sage! She could tell immediately that trying to grab the rocks that jetted outward was pointless. She had no idea of what she could do…then it hit her.

"WITH!"

"Kyu?" said the furry rabbit-like creature. It took one look at the two of them descending and transformed into a pair of jet-black wings. With then attached himself onto her back and she took flight. She had With take her back to the top of the cliff and looked for Jiraiya. (When she found the sage…well, let's just say it won't be pretty!)

"Where is he?! Where the hell is that perverted sage?! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, YOU WILL DIE!!!" roared Haruto. (Jiraiya took cover from her pretty quick. He may be a perverted fool, but even he knew when it was a good idea to NOT get caught!)

She saw out of the corner of her eye that Naruto had summoned a frog…but not just ANY frog! He had somehow managed to summon the Gamma Bunta, aka the Chief Toad! She was amused, and then she immediately went back to her search for Jiraiya. She finally gave up when she realized Naruto was in the Hospital…he used too much chakra when he summoned the Chief Toad. She decided to continue flying around, just to make sure that Jiraiya didn't try anything under her nose. Gaara saw her and his jaw literally dropped.

"What the…?!"

"Eh…? Gaara saw me! Cool."

"Kyu…"

"Sorry Wiz. Why don't we land? I'll even get ya some fresh strawberries," said Haruto.

"Kyu!" Wiz said happily.

"Aren't you glad I read a lot? I know where I can get some too!"

As they landed, Gaara approached her with a look of disbelief on his face.

"How…? What…?!"

"With can change into a pair of pitch-black wings. It's a good thing I remembered that or I'd be dead right now."

"Why's that?"

"Have you heard of the three Sannin?"

"You mean the three trained by the Hokage? Why?"

"Let's just say I now have a score to settle with the Toad Sage…" said Haruto annoyed. Before he could ask, she shot him a look that told him not to press further.

"So what're you going to do now?"

"Beats me… I let you know when I come up with something," said Haruto as she went off to give Wiz his treat. Wiz was in his happy place as he munched on the berries; Haruto held back a chuckle at the sight. As she sat on the bench with Wiz, she thought of something.

"Hey Wiz…how would you like to learn some ninja arts? It's not as hard as learning to talk," said Haruto.

"Kyu?"

"I could teach you some hand signs, and some words and you'd be like Akamaru. You could protect yourself without Dark's help at all. What do you think?"

"Kyu…!"

"You know, you could transform into a human here. Unlike the town where Dark lives, no one will think anything of you turning into a human. Want to see?" said Haruto with a grin. Wiz thought about this before he turned into an exact double of Daisuke, his owner. People saw him change, but thought nothing of it at all. They went about as they were, not caring that a floppy-eared rabbit suddenly became a human. Wiz turned to say "Special training?"

"Yup…I'll give you some fun and easy training Wiz, on one condition."

"Kyu?"

"If someone asks your name, please, PLEASE don't say it's Daisuki!" said Haruto in a serious tone. Wiz gave her a confused look, so she explained.

"My friends, they haven't had time to learn how to react to you in your rabbit form. If they hear you say Daisuki, they'll get ideas that'll cause me problems, 'kay?"

"Okay…Kyu!"

"You're all right by me, Wiz. Now, do you want to get started now or tomorrow?"

"Um…what is now?" said Wiz confused.

"It means we start right away and don't wait until morning," said Haruto. Wiz thought about it, then turned to the berries.

"Or to be more specific, we start after you finish your berries. That sound good to you?"

"Fun-fun time!" replied Wiz. Haruto laughed as she said, "You're hopeless!"

After Wiz filled up with strawberries, Haruto turned to him and said, "Ready to start?"

"Kyu!"

"In that case, there's something I want to get out of the way. Wiz, can you say Haruto? Say Ha-ru-to."

"Ha-ru-no?"

"Ha-ru-to, not Ha-ru-no. Say it with me, Ha-ru-to."

"Ha-ru-go?"

"Ha-ru-to."

"Ha-ru-do?"

"Just say Ha-ru."

"Ha-ru."

"If you need me to help you, all you have to do is say Haru, okay?"

"Haru?"

"Yup…Haru. That's should be easier to for you to say than my full name. That, and I won't get confused if you say my brother's name, which is very similar to mine."

"Hey, Haru, who's this kid?" said Temari.

"He's not a kid actually…" said Haruto, quickly preventing Wiz from saying 'Daisuki' in front of Temari.

"Then what is he?"

"You can go back to your regular form, With."

"Kyu!" said Wiz as he returned to rabbit form.

"What the…?"

"Wiz can transform into other things. I was teaching him how to say my name when you came up," said Haruto.

"O-kay… I have only one more question though. Why did he turn into a red-haired, red-eyed boy?"

"He turned into his original owner, named Daisuke Niwa. I guess it was easier for him to take Daisuke's form."

"Can he talk to?" joked Temari.

"Wiz, why don't you show her?" said Haruto; Wiz transformed back into Daisuke and said, "Haru."

"Woah… That is just plain creepy. I guess I'll see you back at the room then. By the way, I do NOT recommend letting Kankuro know that he can transform and talk."

"I had NO intention of letting him find out anyway."

As the days before the exam closed in, Haruto and Wiz were hard at work. She was surprised that Wiz could perform the hand signs and remember their meaning without a problem; she was even more surprised that he remembered names and who they go to easy! She had thought that teaching him would be hard, considering the fact that he didn't like learning new words.

"Huh…I guess the creator of the manga got your profile wrong. That, or Daisuke just didn't know the best way to teach you stuff…"

"Kyu…"

"Don't worry Wiz. I'm sure Daisuke and Dark are looking for you right now."

"Kyu!"
