It was a foggy morning when Jesse woke up, he walked out in only a light grey sweatpants and a red long sleeve shirt. One look around and he saw that Sasori (he was properly introduced over dinner when Sid and Jessica calmed down) was at his small wood shop area. A nod of acknowledgement and they went their separate ways.

Jesse always enjoyed runs, especially when he became a large timber wolf. His pelt wasn't glamorous, it wasn't dark as a stereotypical pure black, it wasn't outrageous as deep blue or bright pink. It was just a
normal pelt you see in zoos or wildlife pictures.

Although it doesn't mean that he was a normal wolf either. He discovered it while he was training, one of the other ninja apprentices had gotten him so mad that he completely lost it. His master watched as he nearly destroyed the courtyard due to his uncontrollable power. He was no longer allowed to train with the other kids that were there. They viewed it as a punishment, rather then for their own safety. He himself asked to be trained alone and his master agreed. He didn't want to see anyone else hurt.

"Hey, Jessibell!" one of the kids laughed, he was training with a staff with another kid. The children realized that he was the top of the class, and tried to sabotage him any chance they got. Normally their antics didn't bother him, but this day was different. It was the one year anniversary of his kidnapping. He was feeling annoyed, and sad that a whole year had gone by and his missed his sister First birthday. FIRST! It sent a surge of rage through him, and he started to relentlessly attack his opponent.

"Oh look! Don't break a nail, Jessibell!" He knew they were just fuelling his rage, but the damage had already been done. He knocked the poor kid over, probably one of them that was trying to calm him down, and was actually nice to him. He turned to the other kids and challenged them. They laughed and accepted. Little did they know that it might have been the last thing they'll ever do. "Don't cry when I beat you down, filth!" the child said picking up a staff of his own and they started.

"Jessibell! Jessibell!" the other children around them started chanting. "Break a nail, and cry out hell! Jessibell! Jessibell! Nothing can stop us now!"

All Jesse could see was red, and he broke the sticks and shifted into a large snarling beast. He had become a two headed dog, one breathed fire, while the other was drooling acid. He didn't have a conscious mind, and just attacked everything and everyone.

When his rage had come down, he shifted back and seen his damage. Half the house was collapsed, the dojo was nearly in rubble's, the walls had crumbled down by a large paw, scratch marks were on the grown, as well as blackened fire marks everywhere, some where the fire was still burning, acid had melt some of the walls, and created holes in the ground, and some of the house. He looked around horrified at the wreckage. Then he noticed the bodies. Some were burned, some were corrosive damaged. He could also detect the scent and taste of blood, on his tongue and in the air.

"Jesse!" his master called out in an angry tone. "Come," the man walked in the damaged house, he had no choice but to follow. His only thought was 'I'm never turning into that again.' and ever since then, he never turned into that feral beast.

He shook his massive head and ran, his large paws hitting the ground silently as he started to pick up speed. He ran his territory in the forest and soon around the entirety of the town that was also in cased in a forest. No one in this town knows of him and his sister, of course they knew Sid was a character, and wouldn't believe him unless they saw it for themselves.

Yes, Sid was a wolf shifter as well, and of course Sid would defy all natural colors as much as possible. He wasn't even sure how they guy did it.

He did it. He ran from that awful place! "Look for my sister and bring her back, yeah right! I'm never going back!" Jesse muttered to himself as he walked from the mountains and into city life. He quickly blended in, his pace swift as he made for the docks to go to the last place he's ever known.
Returning to that house, it was a nightmare, worse yet it had people living in it. He stood out there wondering what had happened all those years ago.

He could remember his mothers voice singing to him softly, his father reassuring him. Telling him 'it will be alright, you'll see,' a kiss to the forehead and he was out of his room with one last look at him. His mother lingered, smiling at him, reassuring him in her language. He understood some of it, but not all. He remembered his nickname his mother had given him 'Shippou,' and the word 'look after' and his sisters nickname, 'Suzu.' he nodded to his mother, a silent promise that he'll do his best.

He shook those memories away, running a hand through his hair. He looked to the side and noticed a police cruiser coming by.

"Sir, are you alright?" The police man asked him, coming up beside him in the car and a rolled down window.

"Yes, just old memories of this place, sorry I didn't mean to bother," Jesse said and started walking away, he wasn't sure how well his English was now but he guessed that he now sported an accent. He could still hear the two in the car, 'did he know these people? Or did he know the murder victims?' Their hushed voices were still audible him to hear. A grim thought entering, a sick smirk on his lips. If only they knew, he is the son of those 'victims' he watched them die before him.

"Excuse me, sir. We'd like you to come down with us." The police reached him and waited for his answer.

"Of course, but why? If you don't mind me asking." Jesse asked politely.

"Just a few questions, if you don't mind." He gave a nod to them and went.

He was asked if he knew the family at that house currently, he said 'no'. He was asked about his religion, he answered 'catholic'. He was asked about his place of birth, he answered 'here'. Then they asked him his name.

"Jesse Elric Grave, first born to Kelper Alexander Grave, and Run Onishi." He answered and everything was in chaos. He refused to answer anything else, and put on a pitiful look. "Do you know where my sister is?" He asked once everything's calmed down.

The run was refreshing but he wasn't tired and it still was foggy out, he only guessed that he ran for about half an hour before he reached his part of the forest again. Slowing his pace he reached a peculiar tree that was stripped of all its branches and bark. He circled around it once and made a mad dash up using every ounce left of his strength, concentrating it all to his four paws. He reached the top and hung there for a bit. His large paw resting on a straight cut, then he pulled himself up and sat there. He watched as the town woke, his house also waking, he stayed there for a moment, just watching.

Then his sister walked out school bag in hand, she stopped, a foot on the step to her bus. He knew she was waiting for him, so he let loose a howl. Then he heard her howl, and the bus was driving away. Sid waved her off and looked over to where he probably think he is. He wasn't sure, but it does look like the blue eyed man was looking right at him. It sent a chill down his spine. He shook his head, no one can see him here.

No one knew about this tree it was his and his alone. Nothing can get to him and nothing can see him, but he can see them. Jesse stayed up in his tree a while longer. At least until lunch time. By then he was out of his wolf form and sat meditating. Sid was out and called for him, he had no choice but to go back. He stood from his high perch and jumped. Landing elegantly on the forest floor, from his eight hundred or more foot drop, he jogged back and seen that Sid was waiting for him. "Welcome home," he smiled.

"I'm home," he said and walked past, intent on a shower. He seen that everyone was seated on the couch, as if waiting for him.

"Are there wolves in the forest?" Kakuzu asked, his tone holding no emotion.

"Wolves? Are you crazy? Of course there are wolves out there!" Sid said animated, answering for Jesse. He was glad for it, and wondered how Sid always knew to but in when Jesse needed him too.

"Wonder how much they'll sell for," the miser said mostly to himself.

"Sorry, but they are protected, by their alpha." Jesse rolled his eyes as Sid pointed at him. Then continued to say "and I'm his mate." He felt that it was much to early for this and retreated to his room, where his own bathroom was, for that shower.

They had just moved to this small town, surrounded by a lush forest. Jessica didn't take too it, ever since Jesse took over to be her legal guardian, it seemed as if she hated him. He was used to being hated, but it was nothing like this. This was his sister. She was suppose to love him, not hate him. She never asked, but he could feel that she was silently asking him 'Why did you leave?' he wished he could answer that question, but he had to wait for her to ask it.

They walked around the town, enjoying, well he was enjoying, she looked miserable. Soon they met with the elder couple he knew as Mr and Mrs Spade. They exchanged greetings, joked with his kid sister, teasing her about the seasonal roller coaster in the woods.

"Don't go into the forest at night, its haunted! You can hear screaming at a certain time of year, it is said that a bunch of teenagers went into the woods at night, and died mysteriously! Ever since then, screaming, horrible, horrible screaming!" Mr Spade said in a serious tone and face. Then he smiled. "Heed our warnings child, wouldn't want you becoming one of those screaming souls in the forest."

"Oh hush, that's not true at all! Don't pay and mind to him, deary. He's just a crazy old coot." Mrs Spade said and pushed her husband along. "Have a nice day, loves!" she called to them.

"What the hell?" Jessica muttered and turned to walk away.

"You what he says is right, heard it for myself," Jesse couldn't help but play along to the old mans words.

"Yeah, right, I'll believe it when I see it."

"And seeing is believing? At first, I thought like that, then I just learned to believe, no matter how far fetched the story is. Faith little sister, faith."

"Trust, and Pixie dust. Right, you watch too much t.v. what did you do, watch cartoons thinking that it will fill the void of having no sister?"

"I never watched t.v. where is that saying from?"

"You're joking right?" He looked at her genuinely curious. "You're not. . . it's from a stupid movie, Neverland or something of the like. Tinkerbell? Who cares, it's stupid."

"Oh. . ." Jesse said not pushing any further.

"Geez! I was kidding! It's the greatest movie I've ever watched! And plus. . . from what my aunt said it reminded her of her sister. When she called Suzu. Not sure what it meant."

"Suzu? You know, it means 'Bell' in Japanese. Father-"

"Hello, Jesse! Be careful, a strange man is going around town causing all kinds of havoc!" Mr Eckart said from his shop.

"Thanks, we'll be careful!" Jesse called out.

"I'm hungry, let's go in here," Jessica said and walked into Lionhert, a small restaurant. Jesse followed after smiling softly. She sat down at a booth, and they ordered their drinks.

"So what were you saying about 'Bells'?" Jessica asked.

"Well, father was a strange man, liked all things odd. He wanted matching names for his children, and always liked the word 'Jess'. He planned on using it for our nicknames, to confuse everyone else. Of course it never happened, because he ended up calling me 'Jay Jay', and you 'Bell'.-"

"Hello! I'm Sid Stone," a strange man slid up to their table. Jessica immediately went under the table and came up beside Jesse. Sid sat down and smiled at them. Jessica pressed herself further away from the man, and a little closer to Jesse. As if he'll protect her. He would, he was die for her if he had to. He narrowed his gaze at the man. How he managed to slip under his radar he'll never know.

"Jesse, and this is my little sister, Jessica," Jesse said guarded. He readied himself for an attack if this guy proved to be a threat. Sid only smiled more, and stripped himself of his had and large trench coat. What revealed was a striking look about him. It was very much odd. Dark blue hair, shimmering a lighter color in the sunlight. Sparkling deep blue eyes, reflecting something he wasn't sure of.

"Weirdo," Jessica mumbled and hid further into Jesse.

"Now, there's no need for names like that, sweetie," Sid said softly, his gaze holding a soft brotherly gaze to her. Jessica must have noticed because she stopped hiding. Jesse was not convinced, and leaned forward, distracting that look from Jessica.

"What do you want?" Jesse said, a protect tone had set in, and his brother instincts kicked in.

"Me? Want? Oh, no, nothing! Just curious as to who you two were."

"Well, now you know," Jesse said quickly and sat up, keeping a guard up and silently telling this guy to leave. Of course he didn't. He only smiled.

"I'm curious about your names, as soon as I heard you speaking Japanese I just had to come over and investigate."

"Jesse, and Jessica."

"No, last names."

"Grave."

"And your mother?"

"Onishi."

"As in Onishi Run?"

"You know our mother?"

"No, I just heard about it, news is that a Jesse Elric Grave have returned from the dead. Well, something like that along those lines. So I took it upon myself to figure out what you were all about. And what better, then from the source himself?"

"So what do you know?" Jessica asked, curious of what the strange mystery had to say.

"Just that your parents were murdered, and Jesse was no where to be found. Some say that he was kidnapped and killed in a different location. That was the main theory, until Jesse came home."

"Nothing about me?" Jessica asked.

"No, nothing outrageous for you, since your mother Run had left you with your aunt, since she's been so wanting a weekend with you." Sid smiled at her.

"What I want to know is, the nicknames your father and mother gave you. What their origin is."

"Suzu, means bell, and because our mother liked our fathers nickname for Jessica, she decided to call her that too."

"Really?" Jessica asked, amazed.

"Yes, she even said that you have a 'bell' like laugh when you were little."

"What about you? What did mother call you?" Jessica asked, excited.

"Well, she didn't have a nickname for me, but she often referred that I look like her friend from a long time ago. I told her that I would want to be called by that precious friend's name, she smiled at me, and said 'Shippou, always be this kind and sweet,' I told her that I will."

"What does Shippou mean?"

"It means the-"

"Seven treasures. So you are the one I'm looking for." Sid interrupted quietly. Then said, "well it was nice meeting you both, I'll catch you two later," he winked at them and he gathered his things and left.

"He was nice," Jessica said and their food arrived.

"I guess," Jesse said and they ate in silence, and excited chatter after on the way home.

Jesse walked down dressed and seen that all eyes were on him. 'Explanation time,' he thought and waited for the questions.

"Who are you?" Kisame spoke first.

"I am Jesse Grave, first born of Kelper Grave, and Run Onishi." He answered simply.

"Your a ninja." Sasori spoke next.

"Yes."

"How?"

"I was abducted by the Onishi family, they were suppose to have me and my sister but my sister was at another place."

"Why?"

"I don't know why, but before my parents were struck down in front of me, they had her in a safe place, my guess is that they wanted to hide me away too but couldn't."

"Why did your parents die?" Sasori continued.

"My guess is as good as yours, from what my master said, me and my sister were supposed to be with the Onishi family to be trained but, I guess my mother refused and ran."

"Why are you being hunted, hm?" Deidara asked this time.

"Because I ran. I've been hiding for seven years only to be found again because of your chakras."

"Blaming us, are we, Bastard?" Hidan asked.

"Yes." Jesse said giving no satisfaction to the foul mouthed man.

"Bitch."

"No that would be, Sid."

"Excuse me?" Sid asked disbelief laced in his voice.

"Then stop acting like you are in heat." Jesse said.

"In... what!" Sid yelled. "You are so fucking lucky you are so hot!" Sid walked out and into the basement.

"Anything we can do?" Itachi asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Hide your chakras, change your clothes, look after my sister." Silence.

Silence, no movements.

"Anything else?" Itachi asked.

Silence.

Met with more silence.

"Help out whenever you can." Jesse took the silence from before as a sign of no more questions.

"Ah! Wait, hm! What about those ears we seen on your sister?" Jesse turned and looked at the blonde. He gave a soft sigh, and he partly shifted.

"It's a curse from our mother," he said his wolf human form stood before them, "my mother kept hers hidden well from the Onishi family, they thought it skipped a generation. It's why they want me and my sister so badly that they are not willing to kill us."

"They want to use you." Itachi stated. Jesse only nodded. He shifted back to normal, and watched them.

"No one knows, my sister doesn't know about me being a ninja, let's keep it that way," Jesse said and paused.

"Believe it or not," Sid walked in, partly shifted, deep blue back, light blue underbelly and socks and everywhere else black. Clothes nowhere to be found. "I'm also a wolf ninja, different family different line," he finished. Yeah, Jesse has no clue about Sid. He's just, Sid. Then Sid fully shifted into a wolf, slightly larger then a normal wolf, strong build. He walked and sat next to Jesse like a loyal dog.

"Any more questions?"Jesse asked. Silence.

"He's wearing clothes right?" Kisame asked.

"No, he's not." With that Jesse quickly left for his room and closed the door right when Sid shifted back into a human. He grabbed his dirty clothes and went out to toss them into the basement and went into the kitchen to make lunch. Not daring to look into the living room, or for the naked man running around his house.

After all that, Jesse trained in the front yard for the rest of the day. No interruptions, only wolf whistles from Sid as he watched from the porch.
