5 hours later at midnight in the Inuzuka compound

Tsuki's POV:

If you had walked into my room at this time exactly you would have seen me have a dreamful fit, flip out of bed, and land smack on my head on the floor. I woke up to a loud screech wondering where it had come from. I finally realized the scream came from me. Worriedly I ran to the mirror that was thankfully on the dresser in the room.

'Just as I feared, it's happening.' My eyes had turned from their normal deep hazel shade to a bright gold color with red rings around the irises. 'Not again.' I knew that in less than five minutes I wouldn't know myself anymore. Hurriedly I ran out of my room and not remembering where the front door was I quickly ran into Kiba's room to ask him. I found him soundly asleep, oblivious to my shriek earlier and the danger he was in. "Kiba! Kiba!" I shout desperately trying to wake him up. 'Gosh he's a deep sleeper.' I finally did the only thing I could do that I knew for sure would wake him up. I took a shaky breath, leaned over, and kissed him. As I expected he blushed not knowing what was going on and his eyes shot open wide immediately after that.

"Tsuki! What the hell!" he ranted, surprised.

I blush furiously. "I..it was the o...only w...way to wake you up." I tried to explain.

"Oh my god! What happened to your eyes?" he asked confused. I stole a peek at the mirror that was in his room, my pupils had become huge with a red tint to the black of them, I was slowly but surely losing my corneas as the gold which had enveloped my eyes descended from that shade to silver with red and bronze flecks and a gold ring.

"Oh crap! Kiba, you have got to help me get outside now!" My voice hadn't sounded as demanding as I needed it to be, just increasingly desperate and scared.

He hesitated and dared to take the precious time to ask, "What happens if I don't?" It was too late I found that when I opened my mouth to answer him all that came was a growl. "Uh Tsuki?" he said sounding extremely frightened and concerned.

My mind was screaming to yell at him to get as far away from me as possible. Hoping it would help some I looked at him and he was either very scared or seemed to understand. I ran to what I thought was the front door as my red tail expanded and I became engrossed in red and silver fur. Just before I made it I howled as I burst through the ceiling when I became larger then Akamaru. I probably woke up the entire compound.

"Oh...my...god..." Mrs. Inuzuka and the rest of the family exclaimed as Kiba (the dunce) just stood there staring. I tried to hide my face with my hands but completely forgot that I now had scimitar-like claws to worry about and only resulted in giving myself three perfect scars across my snout. Embarrassed and afraid of what the Inuzukas would say I lithely leaped out of the hole in the roof I had caused and sped off into the night. I kept running until I reached a clearing in the woods (which I should have found strange because the remainder of the forest was densely populated by foliage but I was too mortified and exhausted to notice or even care). I lay down with my muzzle against a tree and fell into a disturbed sleep.

Naruto's POV:

I was humming to myself as I walked to the training grounds. Recently I had become much more of a morning person and was ready for a day filled with training even if Kakashi Sensei was too busy to help me. I would just have to teach myself then. No problem, right? I had been alone for much longer then a day before no thanks to the Nine-Tailed Fox. As I entered the isolated clearing in the middle of the woods I stopped dead in my tracks. In front of me, sleeping with its head on the trunk of a tree was a ginormous red and silver wolf. And when I say ginormous I mean like this thing could take Akamaru on any day.

"Oh no!" I yelled loudly which may not have been the brightest idea ( if Sakura were here she would tease me and say that I'm not known for them...what the hell does that mean anyway?) because the beast began to stir. Ducking behind a boulder I held my breath as the canine started to sniff the air and crouched into a fighting position. I came from behind the rock and held my hands up showing that I meant no harm. The creature lunged knocking me to the ground and pinned me down growling.

After ten seconds of staring into its eyes it was replaced by a girl of about fourteen with medium length straight light auburn hair and hazel eyes laying on top of me. Wait,on top of me? Crap, uh, this was awkward. "Um," I began searching for words that weren't there, "uh, hey, are you all right?" I asked puzzled as to why she had been a monster mere moments before. Was she a jinchuriki like me? I studied her more carefully. No mark of sealing, that meant no kyubbi within at least I assumed that there had to be a symbol to subdue the beasts' power but the only other like myself was Gaara and he had his love kanji on his head. I had supposed this was his seal for the Shukaku but I wasn't positive. Plus I'm pretty sure the old lady knows all of the tailed beasts and their location and the only one that is canine is the one within me, the Nine-Tailed Fox. So, what is she?

Tsuki's POV:

I saw the blonde boy staring at me and wondered what he was thinking. 'Probably thinks I'm a freak like everyone else.' I looked down and just then realized that I had fallen on him. I recoiled and jumped up quickly. "Eh, s-sorry." I stammered gosh that is so lame.

He sits up rubbing the back of his head and says "No problem, um, who are you?"

"Oh," I paused for a moment contemplating how I should explain the situation,"Well I'm new to the Leaf Village and I will be staying here for the time being...my name is Tsuki Hitomatome."

"Okay, why are you here in the first place then?" he inquired tilting his head to the side slightly. Probably deciding what my
response to the question would be.

"I-," my voice wavered and broke. I cleared my throat, "my clan was destroying by a man your village calls Orochimaru."

"Orochimaru? Really?" he seemed half surprised but half angry as well, "he's close now then." He lapsed into his own reverie so I started to walk away. "Hey, wait!" he called back so I hesitantly turned around.

"Yes?"

"Well, um why were you in the woods? And uh, why were you a wolf?"

"It's a little difficult to explain and I don't really have the time right now,sorry...could you point me in the direction of the village?"

" Yea, sure," the boy said smiling kindly while jabbing his thumb behind him, " it's that way...do you want me to come with you in case you get lost?"

I beamed at his generosity, " No thanks, it's fine really. I have a very good sense of smell." I laughed.


Well, that's as far as I have typed up so far but I'm working on the next chapter and will hopefully have it finished sometime this week. :) Thanks to everyone who has read, followed, and reviewed. More reviews would be great though. :D This quiz is a lot more popular here than on quotev but let me know after you read it what you thought. Even a simple 'It was ok' is nice. :)
