"We can rest now." Shino began leading the group with Kankuro dazing at the end. Once approaching the burned gates, a ghostly man slithered between the bars, inspecting for any intruders.

Hissing with a hallow voice, welcoming them, he spoke. "You may pass."

Shino helped Naruto carry the injured vampire up screaming, soul taken, paved stones paths to the main trance door, numbered triple six. Kankuro keeping a distance, felt isolated from the rest. All he wanted was his family back in his normal life. Why did it take his species changing to realize that? Temari's ordering and loud demands sounded sweeter then his hunger growling for blood and flesh.

They entered in a large living room with red couches seemed stains and windows nailed shut. One of the boards, someone etched in with their fine claws 'Werewolves suck!', that, brought a smile to the puppeteer's slightly hurt lips. Not wanting to become lost, he followed into an endless hallway where armored soldiers, standing by each door, appeared they had just won a gruesome battle.

Naruto went inside a room with his loved one, claiming he was going to heal her. When the door closed, sounds of groans banged against the door. Another twitched came about his black eyes, stepping back into Shino.

"I'll show you to your room now." Holding onto Kankuro's hand, the Aburame felt some warmth of his skin. "You have a little mortal left in you. That's not good."

"Why? Does it mean I can become human?" Building up some hope in the remaining of his cooling heart, Kankuro seemed to give an expression of desperation.

Noticing this, a seductive smirk revealed fangs waiting to take another morsel of Kankuro. Placing an arm around his black hood, Shino seemed hang on him, leading him while whispering. "Perhaps, you can test it by staying out in the sun. If you burn then you have ridded all human in you."

Hearing that last remark, Kankuro felt less motivated to try and see if he would fry up in the heat.

"Here's you're room for now." Shino wasn't going to share with him since he had his own room further down the hall.

Once the dusty door shut, there wasn't any light, not even candles. "For now?" He repeated. Kankuro heard a soft human-like sound above him, then a raindrop fell on his head and another. He faced up, thinking this 'master' couldn't afford to fix the roofing, instead he couldn't see anything. Just a faint shape of a large oval.

"I miss her, I love her."

Another voice Kankuro recognized.

XXXX

"Stupid gashes are taking forever!" Kiba growled in frustration, he slammed a furry fist onto the tree he laid against.

Sakon kneeled by his side, turning Kiba's face to him, his tail curling around the other's. "It's not so bad." He leaned in with a smile as their snouts rubbed together. "You look much sexier that way."

Almost forgetting about his wound, Kiba was about to give a look licking until a female werewolf stepped forward from where Ukon slept. Ignoring Sakon completely, Kiba loomed over by her side. "Hey, babe, did you catch any food to eat?" He nipped her purple fur for a response, Sakon scuffed.

Shaking, nervously, the female stuttered. "Only m-mice."
