A/N: This will be the last installment until about mid-July. I will be in Scotland and won't have access to my computer. Also, I apologies for the wonky POV changes ate the astriks.

Kakashi tossed his duffle bag on the bed and returned to the living room. "So what now?" He asked.

"Did you know there was an old military facility here?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, that's common knowledge." Naruto said. "No one knew what it was for and it was shut down before the Uchiha disappearance." Sakura pouted.

"I say we get plastered, relax and have sex when the sun goes down." Yogi said and leered at Rieko.

"Again, pervert." Rieko labeled him. "If this was a scary movie, you would so be the first to die." She muttered to herself.

Orochimaru angrily jerked apart the squabbling dogs. The older dog snarled at him and the younger snapped at his wrist. Orochimaru shoved them away, vaguely regretting his decision to come to an island overrun with dogs. Why couldn't it be overrun with snakes?

He sighed and stalked farther down the beach, grinning when he happened upon a boat. More playthings had arrived. After the last group of runaways he feared that people would stop coming to the island, or that Kabuto had been arrested. That was one of the bad things about living on the island – no news from the mainland. Orochimaru decided to search the boat to see if they'd left anything behind.

Finding nothing he set a guard in the woods. The dog laid her ears flat but complied. Now Orochimaru had to set a plan to lure his play toys out; assuming they were staying in the house on the hill. But that could wait; he wanted to find Sasuke first. The younger male had been avoiding him lately.

"Ah, Sasuke, there you are." Orochimaru said as he happened upon Sasuke in the woods. Sasuke snarled softly, his pale lips curling to bare his teeth. "Still acting very much the animal, I see."

Even though Orochimaru found Sasuke when he was four and taught him to speak, walk upright, and do other things that a normal human would do, the boy still acted like the dogs that raised him.

"What do you want?" The black haired boy asked grumpily.

"Is that any way to speak to the man who raised you?" Orochimaru asked. Sasuke snorted.

"You didn't raise me, Ceres and Mercury did and Octavius after them." Orochimaru could almost see black dog ears lay flat against Sasuke's hair.

"I taught you to be human." He argued.

"As I recall, I was perfectly fine thinking I was a dog." Sasuke replied.

"I did not come to argue with you over this." He paused and Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "There are more people on the island, I thought you might want to join me in playing with them."

"I've seen the way you 'play' with people and I want no part in it." Sasuke snarled and stalked away. Orochimaru narrowed his at the retreating figure.

Night had fallen and Yogi was plastered. He'd finished a bottle of whiskey by himself and was working on a six-pack of cheap beer. Currently he was trying – and failing – to get in Rieko's pants. The lights flickered suddenly.

"Wath fhat futh ee thor di' thu lighths fickher?" He asked.

"Translation? I don't speak beer." Sakura said.

"He asked 'was that just me or did the lights flicker'." Naruto said. He was a little tipsy as well but not so much that you couldn't understand him. The lights went out.

"We must've blown a fuse." Kakashi said. "I'll go look for the breaker, it's probably in the basement." Yogi heard him move across the room.

"Don't you need a flashlight?" He asked.

"No." Kakashi said and continued on his way. Yogi shrugged and drank more of his beer.

"Get up, sweetheart, I gotta pee." Yogi slurred and gently slapped Rieko's behind. She lifted herself and then sat back down after Yogi vacated the chair. Yogi stood completely still, waiting out his head-rush before walking; he nearly fell.

"You're not going to make it up the stairs." Rieko said.

"I'll go outside." He mumbled.

"Don't fall in a briar patch." Naruto chuckled.

"Fuck you."

"Other way around, doll face." Yogi grunted and clung to the wall as he made his way towards the front door.

"You boys are so vulgar." He heard Sakura complain but missed Naruto's response. Yogi stumbled into the front yard and unzipped his fly. He saw two bright yellow eyes staring at him and could vaguely make out the shape of a puppy.

"Hey there pup." He said. The puppy turned and darted away. "Yeah, well, tú madre." He grumbled using some bit of Spanish he picked up from a TV show that he could remember at the moment. Yogi heard a low growl and then saw a larger pair of yellow eyes. Yogi slowly backed away.

"Nice doggy, nice momma." He said. The dog snarled, flashing sharp yellow-white fangs. Yogi turned and ran, he tripped over his pants – which were somewhere in the vicinity of his ankles. As he scrambled back to his feet he felt the dogs hot breath on his calves. Yogi lashed out with his foot, feeling his shoe connect with something, and bolted. He made it to the house and threw open the door, the light blinding him momentarily. Yogi heard a yelp, a chuckle and a noise of disgust.

"Pull your pants up." He thought it was Kakashi who spoke – his blissed out voice muffled by the mask he wore.

"You have a stoner voice." Yogi muttered.

"And you're wasted, pull your pants up."

"There are dogs on the island." Yogi said as he pulled up his pants.

"Probably left behind by fishermen." Sakura said. Rieko shuddered.

"I hate dogs." She said. "They're vicious and nasty." Kakashi glared at her, he was a dog trainer after all.
