Chapter 8 New Trouble
Temari sat by the monitor of the video cameras that where well hidden all around the outside the base. She had been sitting there for hours waiting for any sign of those who had gone out. Suddenly the heavy metal door began to open. Instantly she grabbed her kunai and spun around to face the new comer. However she lowered it when she saw it was Tenten.
"Jumpy?" asked Tenten
"Ya, I haven't slept in a long time." answered Temari
"Any sign of them?" asked Tenten
"Not yet and if they aren't here soon we will have to leave." said Temari as she looked at the clock, sunrise was soon and that meant per Kakashi's orders they would pull out.
"Just give them time." said Tenten as suddenly an alarm went off. Instantly Temari looked toward the monitor to see Kakashi and the others.
"They are here." said Temari as she jumped out of her seat as she and Tenten rushed up toward the hidden gate.
Outside the base Sakura and the others sat down to take a quick break.
"So we just wait?" asked Ino
"Yes, for all we know Naruto broke out and infected the others." said Captain Yamato "It is best for them to open the door for us."
"But what if they already left." said Sai as suddenly the waterfall parted ways as a huge metal door opened up.
"They didn't leave." said Kakashi as Tenten and Temari walked out the base.
"Glade to see you guys made it." said Temari
"Ya, we got food and medical supplies." said Sakura
"Also we need to get these two into cells." added Ino as Temari and Ino saw the two infected people lying on the ground. One was a black female bunny and the other was a black male wolf.
"Neji?" asked Tenten as she looked at her knocked out husband to be.
"It's him." said Sakura "The other is Shizune."
"How long do we have until there sedatives wear out?" asked Temari
"It should last another 12 hours." said Sakura
"Still better not risk anything let's get them into cells." said Temari
Back at the leaf trouble was in the air.
"What do you mean Neji is gone?" asked Shikamaru
"He went to get a late night snack and hasn't returned." said Kurenai as she watched her son play with the other wolf pups in the remains of the Hyuga compound.
"Are you sure?" asked Shikamaru
"He stepped on my tail when he walked out last night." said Kurenai
"I know where he went." Said another voice as Shikamaru looked toward the door.
"How did a dog like you get in?" asked Shikamaru as Kiba walked into the room.
"I just had to tell them that I know a way to find Temari and they let me in." said Kiba as he instantly got Shikamaru's attention.
"How?" asked Shikamaru
"Let's start at the beginning." said Kiba
Flashback
Kiba's eyes snapped open as he scanned the darkness of the room with his eyes. "Someone is here." thought Kiba as he sniffed the air."Sakura and Kakashi, they must have come back for something but what? Wait…Sakura and Ino-chan have medical supplies here, that must be it."
Kiba heard the footsteps coming his way as he quickly formed his plan. He lied his back down and closed his eyes, Sakura entered the room and quickly went for Ino's closet. He could smell Sakura's strawberry shampoo form a distance. She gathered the supplies before leaving. He waited a little bit before standing back up. Slowly he made his way toward Sakura's bedroom. He moved slowly as he waited for Sakura and Kakashi to hide, before entering the room.
"Sakura always treated me like a pig so why not act like one." Thought Kiba as he stopped in front of the closed closet. Slowly he relieved himself on the door before walking out. The moment he left Sakura and Kakashi made their escape. However not before Sakura had stepped onto the pool of piss. Marking her shoe with Kiba's scent.
End Flashback
"I smelled Neji's and a rabbit scent on them." said Kiba "So they must have taken them."
"Why didn't you just infect them?" asked Shikamaru
"I don't want Sakura and I am not gay." answered Kiba "However I can follow my scent back to where ever they are hiding and then I can have Ino and you can have Temari."
"If Kakashi is there so is Captain Yamato and Sai." said Kurenai as Kiba and Shikamaru looked at her. "The three of them had a mission together."
"So we gather both our packs and take down them down." said Shikamaru
"You might want to find Anko." said Kurenai as the two younger generation looked at her "Anko and Kakashi have been going out for a while."
"Really?" asked Kiba
"Ya, they are a couple." said Kurenai
"Anko is a wolf, she went off looking for something." said Shikamaru "Must have been him."
"Anko should be the one to turn her mate, just like you two will turn yours." said Kurenai
"How long to find her?" asked Kiba
"A day maybe two." said Shikamaru
"I can follow the trail for a week at the most." said Kiba
"If we can't get her here in two days she will just have to deal with it." said Shikamaru
"Alright, I will tell Lee see if he wants to get the horse's involved." said Kiba as he walked out.
"Soon we will together Temari-chan." Thought Shikamaru as he daydreamed about how Temari will look as a she wolf.
Miles away in one of the base's cells Sakura stood over a knocked out Neji.
"What are you doing?" asked Tenten as she stood guard.
"I am drawing some blood, to test." explained Sakura "We were lucky Ino grabbed some of the blood samples we store at the hospital. Now we can compare before and after infection."
"I see." said Tenten as she moved closer to Neji. "It's hard to believe that this is the man I love."
"Don't worry Tenten we will get him back to normal." said Sakura as she finished taking blood. "Now we can head out and let him sleep off the seal."
With that both of them turned their backs on Neji as they started back toward the door. Suddenly Tenten screamed as she fell to the ground. Sakura's eyes widened as she saw Neji on top of Tenten.
"Get off her!" yelled Sakura as she punched Neji into the wall before dragging Tenten out the door shutting it behind her.
"What happened?" asked Kakashi as he ran up.
"Neji woke up and attacked Tenten." explained Sakura as she looked at Tenten.
"Sakura you need to draw blood." said Tenten
"Why?" asked Sakura until she noticed that Tenten was bleeding from a bit at the neck.
"I am infected so maybe my blood turning transformation will help you." Said Tenten as her nails started to grow out and turn black.
"Alright." said Sakura as she pulled out a needle and prepared to take blood. "I am so sorry Tenten."
"Don't worry Sakura it isn't your fault." said Tenten as her shoes burst apart as her legs started to change. "Just fine a cure."
"I will." said Sakura as she finished taking blood.
"I believe in you." said Tenten "Now put me back with Neji-kun. He shouldn't try to escape as long as I am nearby."
"Alright." said Kakashi as he checked to make sure Neji was still on the floor from when Sakura punched him into a wall. Slowly Tenten go back onto her feet as Kakashi opened the door.
"Sakura can do me a favor?" asked Tenten
"Anything." said Sakura as Tenten took off her diamond ring and held it out for Sakura.
"Hold onto this so that it doesn't get destroyed when I turn." explained Tenten as her pants began to rip as her legs began to change.
"I will keep it safe." said Sakura as she took the ring. As Tenten walked into the cell, Kakashi closed the door right behind her locking it tight. Sakura just stood there and watched as Tenten sat down the edge of the bed and waited for the change to happen and it seemed like she wouldn't have to wait long. Sakura wanted to look away as Tenten fell to the ground and started throwing up blood and her human teeth as new wolf teeth came in. Sakura watched as Tenten's nose pushed out into a muzzle covered with brown fur, as two pointed black ears appeared though her hair. She flinted as she heard Tenten's bones snap as they moved and grew. She turned away for a brief moment only to have Kakashi speak up.
"Watch, Sakura maybe you can learn something that will help you with a cure." said Kakashi as Sakura looked back toward her friend. She had grown from 5'4 to 6'2 and from 105 pounds to 250 pounds. Saliva started to drool onto the floor as brown fur ripped across her body, only her ears and her right arm was covered in black fur. Finally a tail pushed out as the transformation finished.
"Tenten?" asked Sakura as Tenten got back onto her feet. Instantly she charged forward and tried to break the door down. However the solid steal door held firm.
"I will get you for hurting my mate." growled Tenten
"Calm down." said Neji as he sat up. Instantly Tenten was at his side helping him up. "Soon they will be like so why break out and turn them into things that would upset their mates and family. So we wait."
"Very well." said Tenten with a growl as she and Neji moved to the back of the room.
"Sakura I will stand guard, why don't you get some rest." ordered Kakashi
"I wanted to check on Naruto and start work on the new blood samples." said Sakura
"You can't work your best without sleep and you have been up how long?" asked Kakashi
"Over 30 hours." said Sakura
"Lady Tsunade always taught us that you do your best work within a 12 hours period and after that your work goes down." said Inner Sakura as Sakura lowered her head.
"Ino as already resting. So check on Naruto and then go to bed yourself." ordered Kakashi
"Thank you Kakashi Sensei." said Sakura as she moved out.
"Our best hope lies with you and Ino finding a cure before they find us." Thought Kakashi as he moved away from Neji's and Tenten's door as moaning and howling filled the air. He walked pass Sakura as he took up a position by the staircase leading up the main base.
"Naruto are you up?" asked Sakura as she looked into the darkened cell.
"Ya, I am up." said Naruto as the lights turned on. For once Naruto actually looked normal, during the night Naruto's body had grown to match the growth in his chest. He stood there in just a pair of ripped pants, the pants where straining to stay on his now bigger waste.
"I see you changed some more." said Sakura
"Ya." said Naruto "Did you get everything you needed from the Leaf?"
"Who told you were when to the Leaf?" asked Sakura
"After you left Tenten, told me." Explained Naruto
"Ya, we got food and medical supplies along with two….prisoners." said Sakura as she looked toward the two other doors. At the far end was Neji's and now Tenten's cell, and across from Naruto was Shizune. "Neji and Shizune."
"Well Tenten must be happy to have Neji here." said Naruto with a smile "Once you and Ino find the cure he will be cured."
"Tenten got infected, she is with Neji now." explained Sakura as Naruto lowered his head.
"I am sorry to hear that." said Naruto "How are you doing?"
"Been better." said Sakura
"At least you aren't infected and turning into an animal." said Naruto with a smile, his normal smile had been changed by the sharp fox teeth that replaced his human teeth. However Sakura still loved it.
"Well Kakaski-sensei wants me to get some rest so I better get going." said Sakura as she suddenly noticed something moving behind Naruto. "Naruto is there something you aren't telling me?"
"I guess you saw it." said Naruto sadly as Naruto moved his hand around and grabbed something from behind him. That is when Sakura saw it. A long blond tail with a white tip at the end, it was Naruto's fox tail. "It grew during the night."
"I am sorry." Said Sakura
"It's ok, it's just it seems to have a mind of its own and no matter what happens I can't control it." Said Naruto
"It isn't ok." said Sakura
"I am just wondering why it is blonde? I thought foxes have red fur." said Naruto
"It's because of your hair color." said a new voice as Shizune entered the conversation. "A person's hair color determents the primary color of their fur. Black hair means black fur no matter what animal they become."
"I guess that explains that." said Naruto as he looked at the tail before letting it go. Instantly it dropped down until it touched the floor.
"Don't worry we will find a cure." said Sakura
"I know you will." said Naruto with a smile "Now get some rest, so that you can find the cure."
