Author's Note: I own nothing except Reyna; even Kayha and Katara are creations of a friend. Everything you recognize is property of Masashi Kishimoto. Characters are slightly OOC but that was the point of this; a friend and I decided that they needed to have some fun in their lives! Chaos ensued and this was the result.

Character Notes: Reyna has the ability to shift to a wolf as well as all the perks of being one (heightened senses); Kayha and Katara were two of Orochimaru's experiments. If there is interest I will post Reyna's story eventually as well. That's all I have to tell you now...ENJOY!

THIS CHAPTER HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH THE REST OF THE STORY BUT FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT REYNA'S PAST CONTINUE READING; SOME OF THAT WILL BE REVEALED AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER!

REVELATIONS

"Is there a reason why we're going to your room as opposed to mine?" she asked, briefly laying her head against his shoulder without thinking about what she was doing.

Kakashi said nothing about it having noted that her eyes were still blazing amber and her voice had a bit of a growl to it; but let's face it, he was loving the feeling, "Because it happens to be closest and the less time we spend walking around the halls, the less chance there is that you tear limbs from Sand Ninja and make me clean up the mess."

He sounded serious about that and Reyna lifted her head to meet his crinkled eye, which usually meant he was smiling under his mask, "You have a good point."

He opened the door and nudged her inside ahead of himself before he closed the door again and Reyna spoke even as she dropped onto the edge of his bed, head bowed, "We probably shouldn't make a habit out of this though; I don't even want to know what they'll say about it."

Kakashi lifted a brow and dropped onto the bed beside her, "They can think and say whatever they want. It doesn't affect us."

Reyna shook her head. He just doesn't get it she thought to herself before she spoke, "I won't be the cause of pain within my pa…team."

He didn't miss her slip and shook his head, "Why do you say that? You always do everything you can in order to protect us. I know Naruto will never forget the fact that you took three kunai for him without hesitation."

"I know exactly how people would react. I won't bring that onto anyone, and I won't let my team die while I still draw breath."

He had the distinct impression that he was missing something very important with her and ran a hand through his spiky platinum hair in frustration, "Reyna, what are you talking about?"

"I may not be the one responsible for the team, but my role doesn't change. I am an enforcer and protector, that's what I do; it's what I like. Okay, fine, so I've proven that I have the mind to lead too, but I like just being able to follow orders and keep the pack together and protected. I will not fail in that…not again," she dropped her head lower, her hair falling over her face and obscuring the emotion that was no doubt playing across her face.

"Again?" he asked softly, brushing her hair out of her face and immediately feeling ready to kick himself for getting her started on this conversation.

She shook her head, flipping her hair over her other shoulder as she tilted her head and looked up at him with pain, shame and regret shimmering in her amber gaze as she regarded him, "There are some things that I only spoke of to the Hokage; they never made my written report. There are very few people who know the whole truth about me and my full ties to the Village. Don't make me relive those weeks again, Kakashi."

He nodded slowly and she fell back across the bed, one arm over her eyes, "Eventually, but not right now. I've already said more than I would have if I were completely human right now."

"You've done well in maintaining your control."

Reyna shrugged, "Not well enough."

The cool air in the room was slowly starting to calm the wolf and the growl was lost from her voice. Kakashi sighed, deciding to push for a little more information now that she was less likely to tear his head off. He took a few minutes of the silence to decide how to approach to subject.

"Reyna, what happened?"

Reyna took her arm away from her eyes and lifted her head slightly, "What do you mean? You were there."

"I don't mean today and you know it."

Reyna sighed and laid her head back again, "Why do you care?"

"You are a member of my team. I need to know anything that could be used against you, and because I consider you a friend."

Reyna sighed and Kakashi knew that was all it was going to take to get her to talk, "I took that mission because it involved the Leaf Pack, I just didn't know by how much. Shigure and his men recognized me. I'm still not entirely sure how they managed to get the drop on me; I never even caught a whiff of their scent before they were on me. The bastards had a collar that bound me completely. I couldn't shift and half the time I couldn't even move. Where they found the damn thing or who made it, I don't know. I've never seen anything like it since or before that day. No one's been able to figure out how it works. It's worse than a chakra collar; a chakra collar will only contain your chakra, not everything about you. There were twelve of them and one day they drug me out of my cage and into the forest, on a bloody leash like I was some harmless pet puppy dog," she snarled before continuing, "I knew where they were going, but I couldn't so much as whimper. From my vantage point and it was chosen well, I watched while they massacred the entire pack…even the pups. I was their protector, their enforcer and I watched them fight for their lives and die.

"It was bad enough having to watch it, but I could smell their fear, their blood. Inside I howled and raged, but outwardly I couldn't make a single noise. I couldn't warn them while we approached. I let down the entire pack and they perished for my incompetence. After, they took me back and locked me back in that damn cage. Then the physical torture started, but that was nothing compared to what I had already endured. They kept that up for another three weeks before they thought that they had me completely broken and that I would obey. They were sadly mistaken.

"The second they pulled that damn collar off me, I attacked. The strange part is that I remember everything I did to them. Usually when the wolf comes out and I'm still in human form, I don't remember what I do, but I remember everything. I remember every detail; the feel of the kunai sliding into their leaders chest, the taste of their blood on my lips. The first three I killed in human form with a single kunai; the rest I tore apart in wolf form and I did it all with a song in my heart because they deserved all of that and worse. The rest you know because I drug myself back to the village and for some reason survived."

Kakashi remained silent for a few moments before he looked back at her, "Nothing that happened that day was your fault and you're right they deserved worse than what they got."

"I didn't have to take them all out. I should have left a couple alive to be interrogated by the ANBU. We could have learned where that damn collar came from, why they attacked the wolves and what the hell they wanted with me; but no, I have to let loose and become my father, killing anyone within striking distance."

Kakashi shook his head, "Even if you had subdued one or two without killing them, you said it took you nearly ten days to make your way back to the village. Frankly, I'm surprised you made it back that fast considering where you were held and the shape you were in. They would have found a way to get loose and then it would have been for nothing anyway. Reyna, you did what you had to do to avenge your pack and survive. No one would think any less of you for it."

Reyna shook her head again, "I do and most of the village does too. Ever since I got back from that the treatment has become worse. I've always been feared and treated like a threat to the village; ever since I first arrived in town but after that it got worse. You asked me once why I was always looking out for Naruto, why I treated him like a little brother. The truth is it's because I know how he feels. I was treated in the exact same way for my entire life as well, even within the pack just because I'm not full wolf and because of whom my father is. Naruto is more of a hero than I will ever be, and there is no one on this earth who is going to touch him; Akatski be damned. If they think it's going to be easy to get to him, they are very sadly mistaken."

"And you won't be alone in protecting him. None of us want to see Naruto taken and I don't plan on losing another student to them either. Oh, and you're wrong by the way, not everyone treats you like that. I don't and I never will."

Reyna gave him a small smile and closed her eyes again, "Now if my head would stop pounding I'd be damn happy."

"So happy that if you had a tail it would be wagging?" he teased.

"What?"

A/N: I couldn't resist having Kakashi bug her just a little about her comment the night before to him. As promised some of Reyna's past is revealed, but why does Kakashi's scent calm her? Eventually that will be revealed in another story to come; but for that to happen my muse needs fuel! Please review and keep her ideas flowing! Until next time…
