Kiba laid on the blanket Sasuke had brought alone, feeling very calm as Shino stroked his hair very gently. He hadn't been expecting the hours before his change to be so relaxing but he was pretty sure it had something to do with the fact Shino was by his side. It had been assured as soon as they sat down to have a picnic that Shino wouldn't leave Kiba's side for anything.

He glanced over at Sasuke and Naruto, who were laying together, practically entangled. Sasuke was on his back with Naruto's head on his chest, his eyes were closed but he could tell the blond was awake from the occasional smiles he would give Sasuke who was talking in hushed tones to the blond. The brunette almost felt a pang of jealousy when he saw them together like that, they seemed so happy, so in sync. Not like him and Shino who were still trying to work everything out. A realization donned on Kiba then as he looked up at the wolf, who was staring off into the distance. It wasn't just a weird feeling, he was starting to really fall for Shino.

Shino looked down at Kiba's reddening face and smirked a little, making the blush spread even farther across his face. He leaned in slightly as Kiba seemed to be too stunned to move and planted a very soft kiss on his lips. The brunette still thought it was weird to have another man's lips on his own but it wasn't like anyone around him could judge him or make rude comments. Kiba mused that Sasuke and Naruto were probably to wrapped up in their own little world to even notice that they were sharing a kiss but when Shino pulled away he noticed the two stares they were getting, accompanied by the girlish giggling of Naruto.

" Oh, and you didn't miss Shino, neh?" Naruto teased and the brunette's face was completely red within the moment. Sasuke smirked a little at Shino who just shrugged and started to pet Kiba's head more, trying to coax him into calming down a little. Kiba turned so he was facing the wolf's stomach. " Sasuke, I think Kiba is trying to go for the gold…" The Uchiha burst out laughing and Kiba jumped to his feet, as Sasuke pulled himself away from his mate and the brunette tackled the blond. Naruto squealed with surprise and started to roll around the Kiba; he managed to put the brunette into a head lock and wrapped his legs around his waist.

" I'm not Sasuke!" Kiba breathed out flailing his arms and kicking his legs in hopes to loosen Naruto's death like grip. " I don't like your legs wrapped around my waist!"

" WHAT?" There was a dark blush on Naruto's face and Sasuke chuckled darkly.

" Indeed, but Naruto and I do it more when he's on his knees…" The blond looked absolutely horrified but was stunned enough to where Kiba managed to free himself of the blond, flip their positions so Naruto was on the ground. The brunette sat on Naruto's back and was constantly being bucked up by bursts of Naruto's strength. Kiba wondered when Naruto had gotten so strong, even in their normal play fights he didn't use this much strength. The blond forced himself up, knocking Kiba off his back and then walking angrily over to Sasuke. He tried to hide his amusement but failed when Naruto jumped on top of him and playfully hit his chest.

" I can't believe you said that! That's so embarrassing!" Naruto whined but then yelped a little as Sasuke flipped it so he was lying on top of the blond, smothering him with kisses. Shino and Kiba both rolled their eyes at the sight.

" They really do make a good couple." Kiba muttered and the wolf snorted a little, smirking as he wrapped his arms around Kiba's waist. He kissed him gently on the neck where he could still smell his mark, it fully healed by now but he knew that he could still get a rise from the brunette when he touched it. Shino's lips were hovering right above the mark when he felt himself twitch and paused in all his motions, both Naruto and Sasuke did the same thing. Kiba felt something but didn't know what it was, he ignored it, more interested in why everyone had become still. " What's going on?" All of them were silent and Naruto stood up, helping Sasuke to his feet. The silence was starting to weird Kiba out but just like that they all snapped back into reality. " Did you all just drift off for a minute or something?"

" No, Itachi was communicating with us mentally." Sasuke muttered. " You picked up on it but could hear it, at least not yet. When you Turn, you can hear him whenever he does something like this."

" Itachi is telepathic? That's kinda, really awesome." Kiba muttered and Naruto nodded his head; Kiba had a feeling that the blond probably had the same reaction when he heard about it for the first time. " What did he say?"

" Oh, just to remind that the newly bitten must be ready for the Change tonight. Which means wolves have to get things ready for their mates and get to the designated areas or wherever they want as long as they won't be seen." Sasuke said with a shrug. " It's mostly for the wolves who had very recently bit their mates…Like a couples day ago, and yes, there are wolves who do that so they'll know the results very soon. Though the idea is sound, it isn't any better for the person bitten. Around the full moon the virus intensifies and can cause a far more painful experience. And if they survive, it can put them into a short coma and they won't even transform."

" That seems pointless." Kiba muttered and Naruto nodded his head in agreement. Sasuke and Shino both shrugged.

" Yes but if you do all of that within days of each other, it eliminates much of the pain early on. That's why I bit you about a week before this full moon. I had been planning it for a long time." Shino said as he walked back to the blanket and sat down. Everyone followed his lead. " The only thing left for us to do is wait for sundown, which will take a few more hours since the days are so long now." -

Later…ELSEWHERE

Itachi sat in the back corner of a café, looking as though he was enjoying a cup of coffee but he was on edge. He always was around the Change but at the same time there was something else adding to his anxiety. And that thing was walking through the door, he could smell him as soon as the door opened. He walked up to the table sitting in the vacant spot across from Itachi. His wild red hair was cutting the air with all of its angles and bringing much attention to his shockingly blue eyes and the deathly paleness of his skin. The man had a strong presence, making more than a few people turn to look at him. Murmurs surrounded them but they just ignored the gossip.

" Were you followed?" The red head muttered leaning back against the cushion of the booth, making the ruddy leather squeak slightly as he relaxed.

Itachi shook his head. " Am I ever followed? There is a reason why I plan all of our meetings on the full moon. All the wolves are far to preoccupied to notice that I've slipped out, even if I'm gone most of the night. They make their own assumptions about my absence. What about you? Were you followed?"

" No. My clan has probably just arisen and is most likely going hunting or whatever they do in the morning. They barely have any regard for me and my whereabouts. All of them are very self involved, even more so than regular Vampires." He said with a shrug. He looked up at Itachi who was nodding a little. The Uchiha could understand the respect issue very well. The red head sighed. " But enough about my problems; I got your voicemail about this wolf problem you've been having and I'm sorry to say that I'm at a loss."

" I assume that means you have no information pertaining to the identity of this wolf, nor if he is a rogue or not." Itachi said taking a sip of his coffee.

The red head nodded his head and then just sighed. " I'm afraid so. My clan would have notified me if a rogue had come into the area. The rogues tend to be far more aggressive in the presence of Vampires since they seem to have nothing to loose." His fangs were slightly visible as he spoke and Itachi could never stop being astounded by the sharp, needle like teeth. " You're staring at me again…" Itachi snapped back into reality, looking slight surprised. The red head smiled. " My fangs are slipping out because of the all humans around. They smell better than they usually do."

" Have you feed recently?" The man shook his head and Itachi rolled his eyes. " Which is why your fangs are slipping, you're hungry. You know, if you want we can get you a coffee and I'll mix my blood into it."

The red head smirked at his companion." A Werewolf offering a Vampire his blood? I think the world may be coming to an end."

" Well, by that logic the world ended when a Vampire and a Werewolf could have a decent conversation without any insults or bloodshed before or after." Itachi muttered, smirking a little.

" Oh no. We've ended the world." The red head muttered sarcastically, his voice almost completely without inflection. He rolled his eyes and smiled a little at Itachi. " You know, I'm glad that even after I was changed into a vampire that we were still able to be friends. And I also appreciate you keeping an eye on Naruto for me."

" You should thank Sasuke for that one. He was the one who mated with Naruto after all, but keeping you posted on his life is the least I can do since you give me so much useful information." He said. " But this is what friends are for, right?" The words came out breathlessly and Itachi leaned forward. The red head did the same, his face only a few inches away from the Uchiha's.

" Itachi, I have something important…" Sai said running up to the table, Itachi pulled back instantly, looking as though he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. " …To tell you…" The sense of urgency had been dropped from Sai's tone as he blinked at the scene in front of them but when he smelled the air, he instantly put up his guard. " What the hell is a Vampire doing here with you?" He smelled again, a shocked look on his face. " Not just a Vampire, the leader for the Vampires of this area…"

" Sai, I order you to sit down next to me and not attack this man." The wolf begrudgingly took a seat next to his Alpha, glaring at the red head the entire time. " How did you find me?"

" You always come to this café during the full moon, so that's where I assumed you'd be." Itachi looked slightly stunned to hear that coming from the wolf but said nothing. " But my Alpha, we have many things to discuss and should get going." He gave a pointed look towards the red head who was also glaring back at him, hiding his bared fangs behind his hands. He may not have liked whoever this wolf was, but it would be a problem to start a fight with him in this public place.

" You know, you should be kinder to the man who's brother you tried to court." Sai tensed up then turning his attention from his Alpha to the red head who looked equally stunned by Itachi's statement. He looked over at the boy sitting next to Itachi and dropped his hands, letting the wolf get a good look at his face.

" Then…you're Uzumaki Kyuubi…And you're a Vampire?" The Vampire nodded, smiling so the wolves could see his very extended fangs.

" Indeed I am Uzumaki Kyuubi and the lead Vampire of this region." He said with a smirk, his eyes pointed straight at Sai. " Tremble with fear or whatever the hell you want to do since I don't really give a damn." His body stopped tensing and the three of them were finally able to breath easily knowing that no one was going to get out of line.

Sai was silent and scooted a little closer to his Alpha, but it didn't go unnoticed by Itachi or Kyuubi since they both gave each other amused looks. Itachi leaned his face on his hand, looking over at the wolf sitting next to him. His face was unreadable to Sai, who sat next to him nonchalantly.

" Sai, what exactly was it you needed to tell me?" Itachi asked and the other wolf eyed Kyuubi hesitantly. " Do not be afraid to tell me something in front of Kyuubi, he would probably learn of it eventually, he is as powerful and influential in the Vampire community as I am in the Werewolves. Besides, news always spreads through Otherworlders. It's a lot like a rumor in High school, eventually everyone will know about it."

Sai nodded. " As long as you are certain My Alpha…" He seemed to take a moment to compose himself, letting out a breath he hadn't known he had been holding. " They picked up a scent at Kiba's house, it had been mostly covered by the mystery wolf's scent but one of the elder wolves was able to pick it up as soon as they sniffed it. He confirmed it to be that of Orochimaru."

Both Kyuubi and Itachi stilled as they heard that name fall from Sai's lips. Itachi's grip on his cup tightened to the point where it shattered in his hand. Sai gasped a little grabbed Itachi's hand and started checking it for injuries. He saw one and licked it softly, whimpering a little at the thought of his Alpha being even the tiniest bit injured. The wound started to disappear and he pulled back, letting Itachi's hand go.

" Sai, are you certain it was Orochimaru?" Itachi asked, in a slightly dire tone.

The wolf nodded. " Yes, it was the name he said and he had an adverse reaction, like he was about to have a heart attack. He even verified the smell with the sample of Orochimaru's flesh we had, whoever that unidentified wolf is, he's most likely a subordinate of that man…"

Itachi shook his head. " I should have known a man like that wouldn't have died, even with those extreme injuries. His healing powers must be far better than any other wolf in history, there's no other way to explain it."

" So what does this mean?" Kyuubi asked, " should we rally the troops and go after him?"

" No, for right now we shouldn't do anything until he makes another move. We don't know what he's after and because of that, he is potentially far more dangerous." Itachi muttered, an annoyed look coming over his features. " I will not allow my people to go recklessly into battle…" He stood up then, making Sai get up as well so he could slid out of the booth. " For now, I'll have to cut our meeting short, forgive me Kyuubi. I'll be in touch with you soon."

Itachi led Sai out, his hand on the younger wolf's shoulder as he directed him through the room of humans. They hadn't heard or noticed a single word of their conversation and for some reason they never did, Itachi had always found it interesting that humans were so oblivious to the many secrets around them. The wolf almost found a strange comfort in his Alpha's touch and it made him snuggle a little closer to him, making Itachi roll his eyes. They reached the door and Itachi opened it, letting Sai go out before him.

" Sai, I forbid to say a single word about what you've just seen here. No one can know I'm meeting up with the leader of the Vampires." The wolf nodded his head, looking slightly cross at the Uchiha. He knew he couldn't disobey his Alpha under penalty of death and the only thing he could do was grit his teeth. " You're jealous aren't you?"

" I don't know why you would think something like that." Sai said raising an eyebrow at his Alpha.

" You make me roll my eyes more than anyone else I've ever met." Itachi said rolling his eyes at Sai's comment. " I know you've been trying to court me and I also know you saw us almost kiss; I bet that somewhat fueled your animosity towards him." Sai huffed slightly. " Though you coming all the way out here to find me was unnecessary, same goes with healing my hand. However, both things are very appreciated." Sai felt his face heat up as Itachi turned away from him and walked to his parked car. He whistled a little making the other wolf snap out of his stupor and follow Itachi into the car.

BACK TO OUR LOVLIES!

Kiba felt as though he was going to vomit. Everything had been going so well up until this point but now as the moon hung heavily in the sky, he felt like every cell in his body was on fire and the pain was excruciating. He laid across Shino's lap, breathing heavily and moaning with agony as waves of it just attacked his very nervous system. Kiba rolled onto his side and Shino sighed; Kiba shirt was soaked fully with sweat but his entire was shaking as though he was cold.

Naruto wasn't in much better shape. He was leaning against a tree, his arms wrapped around him as Sasuke rubbed soothing circles into his back. His mouth was next to Naruto's ear, whispering sweet things to the blond to make sure that he was feeling much more than just pain. Sasuke knew the first few times when a wolf changed were the most painful but after these few times Naruto could change whenever he wanted and he wouldn't feel any of the pain.

The blond fell to his knees and started dry heaving; he had already emptied his stomach due to the pain. He was whining with pain and Sasuke was holding him as gently as he could, cursing the virus for being so horrible unbearable at moments like this.

Kiba rolled over so he was using his arms to try and pick himself up, Shino was at his side trying to keep him in one place but the brunette turned his head towards the wolf and growled lowly. His eyes had turned a piercingly yellow, making them illuminate against the dim light surrounding them. Shino growled back at his mate, trying to establish dominance and it made Kiba whine a little. He fell forward with a sudden jerk and Shino could hear the bones in Kiba's body breaking apart and resetting themselves. The wolf had to back away from his mate so he wouldn't get in the way of the transformation.

" Oh God…" Kiba muttered as he felt the bone in his arms snap and elongate, it snapped back together filling the air with sickening crunching sounds. It sounded as though someone was standing around snapping tree branches and the sound alone was enough to cause untold amounts of pain.

The cloth of Kiba's body started to rip apart as his spine grew, cracking and crunching. His body became sickly lithe since the weight was being distributed unevenly throughout. He started to cough and cry out as his body seized on the ground. Thick, brown hair started to sprout from his body as his jaw elongated and snapped into position.

For a moment the only thing Kiba could feel was the horrible amount of pain surging through his body but as soon as he felt the sting, it was gone. He got up on his paws, looking down in complete shock to see that he was no longer a man, but a wolf. He moved shakily at first, not used to the unnaturalness of trying to walk as a wolf. He turned around, seeing Shino sitting behind him, already a wolf. He walked up to him and sniffed. Shino nuzzled Kiba and they rubbed noses affectionately.

" Okay now that the hard part is out of the way, let's do something fun! LIKE PLAY TAG!" Naruto said(1) jumping up and down as a wolf. His fur was the same color as his hair, blond. And his big blue eyes seemed more illuminating in the moonlight. Sasuke never thought Naruto could be so beautiful, so majestic. He walked up to his mate and nuzzled him softly.

" Naruto, I'm at least mostly sure no one wants to play tag with you. Because the last time we played, it turned into Hide and Go Seek, with my penis." Sasuke stated matter-of-factly. Kiba and Shino stood with disturbed looks on their faces as Naruto started to chase his mate around. Their speed was incredible to Kiba, the only thing that could be see of both of them were blurs of fur.

But Sasuke suddenly stopped, lifting his head towards the sky and making the blond run right into him. They both fell over, a mess of limbs and fur. Kiba laughed at the two of them but then noticed Shino was doing the same thing as Sasuke before he was knocked over. He wondered why Naruto hadn't done the same thing since he was connected to the Alpha. And for that matter, wasn't he supposed to be hearing things?

Shino started to growl lowly as he strode up to Sasuke, who was shaking angrily. " Sasuke, we need to go."

" I agree. It'll be faster if we run anyway, and this way you can get through the awkwardness of introducing Kiba to my brother." Sasuke muttered as he nudged Naruto with his nose. " You got the message too, right?"

" Message? What message?" Naruto asked, completely confused about what was going on. He shakily got to his feet and shook himself as a means of loosening his muscles. " Ugh, has anyone ever told you that running into you is like hitting a wall?"

" I guess that message was for males only but if this information Itachi is passing around is true, then it would probably be best if we brought Naruto and Kiba with us." Shino nodded. " Alright, we need to head out. All of you need to follow me."

" But why? I don't understand what's going on!" Kiba yelled, he was completely frustrated at this point. He had just changed into a wolf and now everyone was on edge like something big just happened, and it wasn't something he knew about since he couldn't hear the damn Alpha.

" I'll explain on the way." Sasuke muttered. He took off into the forest and the three other wolves followed after him.

1. No, they aren't really talking. They're actually speaking to each other in their minds.

Anyway, I'm glad this chapter is done so I can get some sleep and read other fanfiction! Hurray!

Kiba: You could have easily made this longer if you hadn't been reading so much...
Me: Ehehehe. No I wanted to start the drama, I've been holding back on it a lot so relationships and character development could be seen.
Kiba: But that stuff is boring.
Shino: But important.
Kiba and Me: But extremely boring! This was Hitoko-sama
