Wolf Child

Chapter Three: Forest Child

Third Person Pov__________
Kiba quickly ate, he shoved spoonful after spoonful in his mouth.

"Hmm, so you finally started to like my cooking." Tsume asked as she proudly wore a grin. Hana on the other hand looked at her brother with concern.

"What's the rush kiba?" She asked as she poked the pile of mystery meat on her plate.

Kiba swallowed his food rapidly and thought up an excuse, he knew he wasn't allowed to go outside the villages woods but that's where Naruto his new best friend lived.

"I want to play outside." He quickly responded as he finished his Plate of food and gave thanks. "Can I go now?!" He asked basically jumping up and down.

Tsume cocked a brow. "You may but take akamaru with you. He's your ninja hound and you two need to get along." Tsume stated and Kiba nodded.

"C'mon akamaru!" He called out as the clumsy small puppy ran towards him. Kiba picked him up and hurried out the house.

Kiba circled around the village and when he was sure he was alone and not being watched he snuck out of the village. Akamaru whined as he followed close behind. "Don't worry akamaru, we are going to see one of my best friends!" Kiba smiled cheesily as he went exactly where Kiro, naruto's mother' had taught him. 

Kiba came to a stop when he heard a wolf howl loudly, his smile widen as he recognized his best friends howl. Kiba quickly cupped his hands aorund his mouth and tried to mimic the wolf howl. "Hurry akamaru we're almost there." he cheered as he saw his best friend standing in the woods. 

narutos blonde hair had blotches of dirty blonde hair from the dirt that seemed to cover him head to toe. "Kiba!" Naruto launched himself toward his friend and tackled him, he licked Kibas cheek and laughed. "I thought you weren't coming cause you had ninja practice." 

"I did but my mom finally got me my ninja hound!" Kiba smiled as he sat and dusted himself. "Akamaru this is naruto. Naruto this is Akamaru." Kiba introuduced them. "Any friend of Kiba's is friend of mine!" naruto smiled and Akamaru barked. 'And any friend of kiba's is my friend too!' was akamaru's response. "He said-" kiba was about to translate when naruto laughed.

"Don't worry I can understand mama has been teaching me but hers is more beastly since shes a wolf." naruto smiled and Kiba smiled widely happy that his friends could understand each other without him having to translate.

Kiba returned home from playing, now they had what they liked to call the naruto look, torn clothing and covered in dirt from running in the woods and play fighting to see who was stronger. akamaru was happy having played till his hearts content. 

In a way naruto seemed more wolf like than kiba who was part of the inuzuka clan. Alike kiba, naruto's teeth had become sharper, he more than often walked on all fours. he was being taught how to live like a wolf and had adapted quickly.  Naruto's senses were also very strong, even akamaru had a hard time finding the faint smells that naruto found and chased to see if the animal or plant were still there. Kiba although very canine like still acted more human than naruto who liked to tussel around and play. 

"Kiba!" Hana gasped as she saw the gashes from the rough housing with akamaru and naruto. "What happened to you you're covered in dirt and have cuts and bruises all over you." She exclaimed. 

"Huh? This is nothing I was just playing with akamaru and a friend." he shrugged and she frowned. "Playing? you're nearly cut to ribbons, hurry and take a shower so I can treat those wounds and take akamaru with you." she scolded and he grumbled something along the lines of it not being fair. 

In honesty she was planning on scolding him from leaving the compound grounds but seeing him all beat up made her forget the entire lecture she had prepared.

I tilted the bowl and gulped the last bit of the soup. "Done all the Veggies are gone can I have meat!" I held up my bowl. Mama was laying her head on the end of the coffee table. "Here then since you were such a good pup you can have meat."She transformed into her human form and  grabbed the bowl. 

"Mama, why do you use your human form when you grab things?" I asked as I cocked my head to the side. Mama chuckled as she placed the nice juciy meat on my plate. "Well that because it's easier to grab things when you have thumbs. " she replied as she placed my plate infront of me and I quickly dug in. 

"hmm I didn't think about it like that before. Mama will I ever be a good wolf like you?" I asked as I looked up at her. she patted my head and knelt down beside me. "Of course you will, it doesn't matter if you were born a wolf like me or a human. If you always keep your family and friends close and take care of those you love you'll be a great wolf. Its not about having fur and living in the wild, but of how we stick close to our packs, protect our young, keep our elders safe and always move forward together that makes us good wolves." she smiled.

I nodded and then slightly frowned." Mama where's your pack at then?" I asked and she frowned. "We were hunted for our fur. I went out and started learning from the ninja in order to help protect my old pack. But they were scared because I could use the same abilities as the human. They didn't let me return to the pack but thats okay if I had been with them then I wouldn't have found you and never would have had the chance of being a mother."She finished off and licked my cheek as she transformed back into her wolf form. 

"Now enough questions pup, finishing eating so we can get you started on your ninja lessons."Mama stated as she plopped down on a small the couch and curled up. "Hai!! right away mama!" I exclaimed and quickly began to eat the delicious meat again.
