Naruto and the Hell Hound.
Chapter 3. The Den.
Shadow stood, his eyes remained on the corpse. Anger bubbled under his skin. 'No child should be treated like this. Nazamaki.. What have you done?' If he could he would have straggled Lord fourth. He would have put him under the torture of his shadow's. The beast that laid beneath his flesh hummed in agreement. Neither could stomach the idea of the horrors this child had gone through. Sapphire hues looked to the scene of his loving alpha holding the child. His harsh glare softened at the happy sight. He grinned at the child's dark humor. "Like his mother," he murmured. His heart silently mourned the loss of his friend.
Soft whispers reached their ears. 'What's that?' 'It smells burnt.' 'Hey it's coming from over there!' The shout startled Naruto. He buried his face in what he deemed his favorite place, the woman's neck.
"Shadow-"uttered Isabella. Her voice hardened. The urge to suddenly cause havoc among the leaf tempted beast echoed within its cage ready to pounce,awaiting permission. Her hues darken. "Not today alpha. They will pay, but not today." she felt a large hand grip her arm. The tight grasp grounded her.
Shadow watched several expressions change from anger to regret. "Shhh.. all will be well." he brought her into his arms along with the child. Without another word their shadow's rose from the ground and swallowed them whole before returning to the ground. The mass of darkness took off just in time as the civilians came into the alleyway screaming.
Naruto had shut his eyes having heard the frightened screams. He hadn't seen the darkness pull them to safety. He feared the worst. 'They are going to take me! Bad people! No no no!' his mind panicked. He waited to be snatched from Isabella's arms. He waited to be hit. Seconds passed and there was nothing. The screams were gone. 'Maybe bad people took me?' His thoughts were irrational. He could feel himself shutting down, never wanting to open his eyes. He was too scared.
After several seconds the darkness rose and dispelled. Standing before the Hatake compound, Isabella sighed in relief. Her heart caught in her throat as they stepped inside only to find ANBU hound waiting for them.
"Kakashi," the smell of lightning and ozone reached her nose. A weak smile was on her lips. Her heart gave a painful throb. She moved with the small blond in her arms. Kakashi tore off his mask and tossed it aside. With a great sense of desperation he launched himself forward into waiting arms, careful of the precious bundle. He had pulled his signature mask low enough for his nose to peek out and greedily inhaled her scent. He wrapped his arms around her, held both his alpha and sensei's son. Years of bottled emotions came pouring off of him. His sadness and the anxiety tainted his scent. "Shhh my little wolf shhh.." he whimpered, hearing her gentle voice. Dainty fingers touched his nape. His silver hair was ruffled by Shadow who had followed. "Let's go inside , Kakashi. The pup needs to eat and sleep. Maybe a quick shower." he sniffed the cub.
Naruto had shook and whimpered like a small injured pup. Isabella kissed his greasy hair not caring of his filthy appearance and held him tightly. "Summon our den mothers. I want everything stocked. Clothes fitting for heirs. We'll have a barrier set. I want no one to have access to this compound, but our own."
