Why is it me? Why is the akatsuki bothering me!?

I smiled at Sasuke who seemed very confused. I laughed a little at his confusion.

"Remember how I shifted, or turned, into two different wolves?" I asked, he nodded slowly. "They are my two other spirits, you could say. The normal looking wolf is to help me hide, while the Moon wolf is for the Moon Goddess to talk to me easily, or rather to Luna who talks to me.

"You can turn into three different animals, a wolf, a snake, and a red-tailed hawk." I explained, before glaring at Luna and the hawk. "You two stop that fighting before it even starts."

"How do I shift?" Sasuke asked me, making me look at him.

"When you first shift into each of the animals, it's very painful. That's because each of your bones break and shift to accommodate the new form." I told him, which made him look worried but determined. "Let's go back to our bodies to teach you how to shift."

He nodded and we opened our eyes on our real body. We stood up and appart from eachother a bit.

"Alright, which one do you want to do first...?" I asked. He thought for a short time before he decided.

"I want to do the wolf one, first." He said. I nodded at him.

"Alright, think about what your wolf looked like. So, for you, you'llbe imagining a black wolf with silver ears, paws and tail." I told him, making him nod and close his eyes to focus. After a few minutes he seemed like he was about to give up when I heard his bones starting to snap and saw him trying hard not to scream.

"Just keep focusing, Sasuke. You're almost fully shifted." I told him, watching over him as he fell to the ground, nearly fully turned. About another minute later he lay on the ground as his wolf. I smiled proudly at him.

"You did it Sasuke. You turned into your wolf for the first time, when you rest for a little, you can shift back into a human. You should still have your clothes, since we, unlike most stories, keep our clothes intact, unless we shift in anger. Then they get torn to shreds." I told him, he lay there for a bit longer before getting up on his paws to try walking a bit. I shifted and helped him get steady as he started walking a few paw steps before he fell, reminding me of pups that were learning to walk for the first time.

-You'll get used to it with time. It'll be harder to learn how to move as a snake and a hawk, though. Since you'll have to learn how to fly and slither.- I told him, making him jump and flinch a little in surprise. -Oh. To talk like this, concentrate on me, and think of what you want to say.-

-Like this...?- I heard him ask hesitantly, making me wag my tail and nod as a wolf. -This is kinda cool.-

I made a laughing sound at what he said and helped him get used to his new form, before he decided to try his other forms.

-I'm going to get the others to see if they have any shifts, like we do.- I told him. -and help them shift and get used to their new forms, if they do.-

-I'll come with you, to make sure they don't do anything.- Sasuke said, looking at me as a large snake. His wolf and his snake forms were both amazing in their own ways. Although most would consider his snake's size more than frightening. He was a giant snake, almost like a titanaboa or something, but not quite as big. I nodded at him and headed in to get the others. More than a few were scared by Sasuke, who was following me as a snake so he could get used to the movements. I gathered everyone up, and led them all outside, to the same spot I took Sasuke, and got them to sit in a circle.

After we got to where they would call for their animals, if they had any, I had them spread out a bit, so we could clearly see if they had any. A few of them had animals come to them. Neji, Shikamaru, Itachi, Gaara, Naruto, Hinata, and Kurenai had animals come up to them. The other's looked sad, but congratulated the ones who had animals come. I took the chance to look at the animals to help them.

Neji had what looked like a falcon, Shikamaru had a stag and a panther, itachi had a raven and a raven black wolf with red eyes, Gaara had a desert hare and a sandy wolf with black markings. Turning to the the other three I saw Naruto has a blonde fox with a blue and a red eye, Hinata had a snow white eagle and a white lion, and Kurenai had a black tiger with white stripes and red eyes.

'This will be interesting.' I thought to myself and we went out of that "world". I stood up and looked at them all.

"Alright, the ones that had animals come to them, I'm going to help you learn how to shift. Those who had birds, Sasuke will help, since he had a redtailed hawk. Those with a bird, over there." I pointed to a spot by Sasuke. "Those who didn't have a bird stay with me. If you had a bird and a non-bird animal, you can choose which to do first. Everyone else, you can stay or go back."

Neji, Itachi and Hinata went over to Sasuke while the other four stayed with me. The others moved out of the way and watches.

"Alright, just a bit of warning, but the first shift for every animal is painful. But only the first time. You also don't have to worry about shifting back with nothing on. You keep the clothes unless you shift from anger." I told them and they nodded and I turned to Shikamaru and Gaara. You two had two animals. Which one do you want to do first."

"Panther..." Shikamaru said, with a yawn.

"Wolf." Was Gaara's reply, making me nod.

"Alright. Each of you think of what your animal looked like. If you need help, I'll describe your animal for you." They nodded and started to focus. I described the fox for Naruto and Kurenai her tiger so they could shift. Shortly after the sounds of bones popping filled the air as they all started shifting for the first time. I was surprised by some of their sizes. Naruto's fox was a little bigger than a normal wild wolf, and Kurenai was half a size bigger than a normal tiger. Gaara was about the same size as Sasuke's wolf and Shikamaru's panther was just slightly smaller than Kurenai's tiger, just enough of a difference to see it at a second glance. I shifted as well and helped them up and to get used to their new bodies. It didn't take them long to start running about. I looked towards Sasuke's group and saw him helping them fly.

-having fun?- I asked Sasuke, who seemed to be having alot of fun flying.

-it feels great to fly.- he said happily, surprising me a bit.

-Don't forget to reach them how to communicate in their shifted form. They just focus on who they want to talk to and think of what they want to say.- I told him and got an 'alright' before I told my group. After that, I taught the ones with a second form how to shift into that form and helped them walk. We all started to play about before I smelt an awful stench and I got a link from Joand Sebastion at the same time.

-Alpha! Rogues are attacking!-
