Chapter 16 A Message to those who are left behind.

"What is going on?" asked Sakura as she picked up her medical bag and started toward the staircase. "They just ran off?"

Sakura stepped over the destroyed trap door as she moved over the door, she could still smell the after smell of Sasuke and Hinata's sex. Finally she reached the bottom of the staircase; the metal fire door was torn open. She turned around to look back to see Naruto standing behind her watching her. He wasn't jumping her and speeding up the transformation by mating with her.

"Naruto-kun?" asked Sakura

"Yes." Said Naruto as his tail waged.

"Why aren't you jumping me and taking me?" asked Sakura "I thought that you would want to do that?"

"I do but do you want me to do that?" asked Naruto as he licked his lips.

"Even as an animal he is a gentleman." Thought Sakura

"Forget about being a gentleman or even gentle lets just rip off our dumb cloths and become Naruto's vixen!" yelled Inner Sakura "Come on let as get down on all fours raise an ass in the air and let Naruto-kun in the back door."

"What the hell is wrong with you? We have work to do…no matter how good it be to let Naruto take me…" thought Sakura before she mentally slapped her. "The virus is getting to me faster than I thought I need to get some work done."

Sakura walked through the hole in the door and headed up the staircase toward the second level of the base.

Meanwhile out in the country side Ino, Temari, Hinata along with everyone else who had been the base was running at top speed. The high pitch sound filled the air as they ran toward the sound, soon they reached the main road into the Leaf, on the road were creatures ranging from big cats and wolves to bears and gorillas. All of them running toward the Leaf, a few smaller creatures like bunnies, rats and mice ran away from the Leaf. They had no idea why they where running toward the Leaf, it was like they were being called toward the sound. Now their basic instincts took over and they moved without thinking toward the Leaf.

Sakura stepped over some human animal waste as she entered the second floor of the base. The walls had claws marks on them and the doors had been torn off their hinges.

"They ripped this place apart." said Sakura as she entered the main office, she could see the remains of Temari's cloths on the ground. Sakura quickly searched though the paperwork until she found what she was looking for, a simple pen.

"Now to write a note for Sai and Captain Yamato when they return." said Sakura as she sweet started to pour down her forehead, she felt so hot like she was burning up from the inside. Suddenly she felt like she had been punched in the gut by Tsunade as she fell to her knees gripping her stomach as she bit her bottom lip in pain. Slowly she lifted up her shirt to only to see her stomach in a massive spasm. She put her hand against her stomach only to feel the muscles under her skin grow in size, an entire new muscle formed around her chest. From reports she knew it was there because animal woman don't where bras and without support they would move wildly at high speed. Slowly the spasm stopped as Sakura regained her feet, she put her shirt down only to have it stop a good four inches from her waist line.

"Looks like I grew in size a little bit." said Sakura as she got back onto her feet. As she stood up she realized that while she had been focused on her stomach her shoes had burst apart. Her toe nails where now black and beginning to taking on the form of claws.

"No time to waste." thought Sakura as she started to write a letter in the hopes that someone would find it. She was only a line into the letter when another huge muscle spasm struck her right hand causing the pen to move crazily all over the paper as Sakura finally let go of the pen. With her left hand she grabbed her right hand which was shaking like a mad. Her eyes widened as pads appeared in the center of her hand and the finger tips. Her nails grew out into five inch long razor sharp black claws. Starting from the finger tips and working the way down in a wave like pattern finally ending at her elbow appeared jet black fur. For a second time the spasm stopped as Sakura placed her still human hand on her new fur. It was strange even though the fur it felt like she was touching skin. She picked up the pen and tried to keep writing. Finally Sakura fished the short message to her friends.

"We need to get out of here Sakura-chan, if the wolves come back we will be trapped." said Naruto "We need to find a new den."

"Naruto come here." Said Sakura as Naruto walked forward. That was the first time the Sakura noticed that she had grown, she was no longer looking right into Naruto's chest but now she was at his neck line. About the same spot she was at when they were both human. Slowly Sakura reached around and unhooked the necklace of the 1st Hokage that had somehow had managed to stay on.

"What are you doing?" asked Naruto as Sakura carried the necklace toward her bag before pulling out Tenten's ring and Naruto's headband. "When did you get that?"

"When you first where brought in." explained Sakura as she took all three idimes to a safe that Temari must had opened to try to find files. Slowly she took off her own headband before closing all four idems inside. "That way when we return to normal we can get these idems back."

"If we get back to normal." added Sakura to herself as she started to walk away from the safe. However she didn't get far before a ripping sound filled the air, she looked down to see the top of her shirt was starting to rip apart from her growing chest. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as her black skin tight shorts burst apart and joined the remains of Temari's cloths on the floor. Only her tan skirt remained to cover her privates and that was stretched to its max she knew that it would stay for long.

"Just give in." whispered Inner Sakura "Give in and join Naruto-kun. You will give in, in the end so why fight it now?"

"I can't give in just yet I need to get this message to a place where they can find it." thought Sakura as she headed toward the main opening.

Meanwhile at the remains of the Leaf Ino and the others from the walked toward the main gate, the creatures snapped and bit at each other but didn't go for the kill. Slowly they walked though the main gate only to come across a line of human sound ninjas.

"Name?" asked one of the sound Ninja

"Ino Yamanaka mated to Kiba Inuzuka." said Ino with a smile as she looked at Kiba

"Alright." said the ninja as he wrote down Ino's name and what species she was. He reached into a large box and poured out a Sound hand band. He tied the band to Ino's arm. "Welcome to the sound army, the dogs will be in the Inuzuka district."

"We know the way." said Kiba as they ran toward Kiba's clan home, not carrying that they know had sound headbands wrapped around their arms.

"Next." ordered the Sound Ninja

"Sasuke Uchiha." stated Sasuke as the Ninja's eyes widened as he looked up at the large male panther.

"Lord Kabuto will want you personally." said the ninja "Any mates?"

"Hinata Hyuga." Said Sasuke as the ninja turned to see a female panther behind Sasuke with white eyes.

"Lord Kabuto will be even more pleased with you taking a hyuga as a mate." said the sound ninja as he tied the hand bands on Sasuke and Hinata "Head straight for the Hokage building for special processing."

As Sasuke and Hinata headed toward the Hokage building which now had a huge sound flag flying over it two sound ninjas looked at each other.

"They will be a great addition to our army." Said the sound ninja before he went back to processing the animals and sending them to the areas in which they would be living in.

Sakura Haruno finally reached the first floor of the base; she could see sunlight coming in from the opening.

"Sun rise." said Sakura as she blinked a few times as her now silted green eyes adjusted to the sunlight. Each step seamed to hurt more and more as her feet took on a more dog like appearance. The cold floor didn't seem as cold as new pads grew out of her skin as her big toe pulled back into a dew claw as black fur covered about half way up to her knees. A shot of pain ran up her spin as she fell to the ground.

"What now" asked Sakura as the muscles in her legs doubled in size as pink fur started climbing its way up her body, white fur appeared on the inside of her thigh before disappearing under the remains of her skirt. For a second all was calm as Sakura tried to regain her feet but then her chest and upper body began to grow. Sakura screamed in pain as her shirt gave away leaving her only in her red bra which was overflowing and at the point of breaking. Suddenly a pair of hands grabbed her chest.

"Naruto-kun." moaned Sakura as her teeth pushed out into new fangs. However suddenly she heard a sound coming from behind her, she turned to see Naruto a good five feet behind her watching her.

"What the?" asked Sakura as she looked down expecting to see Naruto's hands on her breasts only to see her own. Instantly she pulled her hands away and looked at just how much things had changed while she was engrossed. White fur had grown from her neck to over her nipples to the inside of her upper leg. Pink fur filled the rest and her once human arm was now fox like, apart from the tail from the neck down she was totally fox. "I have to fight this, just a little bit longer."

"Oh but doesn't it feel good?" said Inner Sakura as Sakura's hands moved back toward her chest which had gone up a cup size.

"No I got to fight it." said Sakura

"Come on give in, we could have Naruto message them as foreplay for taking us fox style." added Inner Sakura

'That would be nice." thought Sakura as she licked her lips with her now longer tongue. "No…I must do this."

With that Sakura once again took to her feet and began moving all the while what was left of her medical mind kept working. She guest she had grown from 5'2 to 6'4 and from 108 to just over two hundred pounds. Finally she reached the main door. Slowly she placed down the bag of medical scrolls and supplies by a large stone. Next she put the letter down under a rock before making the leaf symbol into the rock with her claw.

"There done." said Sakura as she fell to the ground on her stomach. Naruto rushed over and lied down beside her. He placed one of his hands over Sakura's shoulder as he rested her head on top of her head.

"Naruto I love you." said Sakura as felt another jolt of pain, with a bust her tail bone grew out into a long pink fox tail with a white fur tip. She could feel pink and white fur creep it's way up her neck, her pink hair feel out replacing it was a line of pink fur. "I will love you as much as I did as an human as I will as an animal."

Naruto didn't respond, he only leaned forward and licked Sakura's face lovingly as her nose pushed out into a short muzzle, she blinked a few times before what was left of her human mind went away, replaced by animal instincts.

"Naruto-kun." moaned Sakura as she used rubbed against Naruto's cheek with her face.

"Sakura-chan." said Naruto as one of his hands moved toward Sakura's breast, he had stayed back and watched the entire time now he wants so action from his vixen.

"No, not here." said Sakura as Naruto let out a disappoint grown. "It isn't safe if they come back, we need a den. There we can consummate our mating."

"A den will take a long time to find." said Naruto

"Maybe not as long as you think." said Sakura as she looked toward the bag of medical scrolls that was sitting by the destroyed main gate.

A day later a large bird filled the sky.

"I can't believe we found a village that is safe." said Captain Yamanto as he and Sai flew back toward the base.

"They should be pleased." said Sai as they crossed over a main road. "What is that?"

"What?" asked Captain Yamanto as he looked down just in time to see a blonde and pink fox eating from the remains of a dead deer. It looked like a larger creature had had taken it down and the foxes had found it after they had left "Are they who I think they are?"

"It seems so." said Sai

"That isn't good." said Captain Yamato as Sai begin to bring the ink bird down, the sound of the bird caused both Naruto and Sakura to rip off a clump of flesh before taking off into the woods. "Can you fallow them from above?"

"No." stated Sai "And going into the woods is dangerous."

"Alright let's head to the base, maybe there is a clue about what happened." said Captain Yamanto as they headed toward the base at top speed. It took them only a few minutes to reach the waterfall that lead to the base. What they found was the gate knocked down and paw prints all over the place.

"Looks like they were attacked and over whelmed." said Sai

"This is not good." said Captain Yamato

"Take a look at this." said Sai as he held up a large bag full of medical scrolls.

"Looks like Sakura left us something." Said Captain Yamato as he noticed the a rock with the leaf symbol cut into it. Below it was a letter, he took the letter out and opened it.

Captain Yamato and Sai

I don't know how much longer I have until the infection clams me. We were trapped and I was the last to be infected by Naruto. I wasn't able to find a cure but I leave the medical scrolls and test results for you. You should find them in a bag near this letter. Also in the bag is a scroll with the location of other Sand bases in the area. If you were unable to find a home I would go to one of those. Once everyone turned a sound filled the air and everyone apart from Naruto, Shizune and myself ran off. I am not sure where the sound came from but I believe that the infected are being controlled by someone. Find him or her and you may find a way to cure us all. I wish you luck and I hope you find a cure until then I will be with Naruto-kun.

Sakura Haruno.

"Looks like Sakura ended up with Naruto." said Captain Yamato

"Saw it coming." answered Sai as Captain Yamato looked at him. "I may not know a lot about relationships but even I could see that those two belonged together."

"I guess." said Captain Yamato

"The thing is that there is no map to bases in here." said Sai

A day later under an old tree an hidden door was opened.

"Welcome to our new den Naruto." said Sakura as she turned on the lights activating the bases computer and bringing the power and water system online.

"It will be perfect." said Naruto as he grabbed Sakura from behind. She dropped the scroll containing the location of the bases onto the ground and turned toward Naruto both of them knowing what was about to happen.
