Fear and intrigue.

summary

Kakashi found her intriguing. A civilian with more steel inside of her than the average genin. A mysterious job that requires S-class clearance. An unauthorised Ninken. Some mysteries aren't meant to unfold, but he's always been too curious for his own good. She's intent on keeping anything shinobi away from her peaceful life surrounded by the smell of old books and the feel of ancient scrolls, but one silver headed shinobi refuses to leave well enough alone.

Chapter one. Rain

Kakashi Hatake sat on a roof top the cold night rain beat down upon him but he strained his ears non the less, he could hear a dog wining in the rain, he leaped from roof to roof, as he headed for the sound.

He hoped it wasn't a lost dog Hana Inuzuka would kill him if he brought anther one in. the closer, he got the more he could hear it, it was a distressed cry, that much he was certain off.

He paused when her hears a female voice calling, he headed to the sound of the distressed dog when he got there the female voice grow louder also.

The rain was beating down hard bouncing off the path and roof tops it was so loud that he doubted a civilian could hear the dog.

Still he sat and watched if she didn't head in the right direction, he would be a kind Shinobi and point her in the right direction, he could see the white dog hiding behind some bins, when he looked at the civilian, he frowned she was in nothing but her night where she must be freezing, he admired her dedication to an animal.

She had a blue silk dressing gown and purple tank top long blue bottoms. Her feet were in slippers but she was completely drenched.

"Shiro, hear boy were, are you?" she called.

She turned in to the ally the dog was hiding in a light on a wall lit up the square space,

His attention was drawn to the shadow area he curst when he didn't notice the other occupant of the alleyway,

Two men huddled under a wet cardboard box moved when she called the dog's name

"Shiro, I'm sorry ok come on boy, where are you?"

The two men peeked out and Kakashi saw the gleam in their eyes, they stood she stooped stared at the two men,

"Um, have you seen a white dog around?" she asked taking a step back.

"Yea he's yours's lady?"

She nodded unsure whether to believe him or not.

"Got a reword for finding him?" the other asked.

"No-no not on me but I'll be sure to pay you for your kindness."

"Well, how about you pay us now in kind!"

She turned to run but he grabbed her lavender hair yanking her back the dog darted out of its handing spot Kakashi saw the blood on its leg he couldn't smell it because it was raining so hard. The dog bit the man who held her hair he yelped and the other man kicked the dog across the path in to the bins.

Kakashi shunshined landed beside the man still holding on to the woman's hair, he held the man's wrist and squeezed, he let go the woman turned surprise in her violet eyes. Kakashi stood holding the man's wrist one hand in his pocket. He gave her an eye smile before ducking under the other man's attack.

"You should get your dog." He said. she nodded and went wide around them towards her dog.

Kakashi ducked again, it didn't take him long to subdue two civilian men, he tied them up and summoned Pakkun to fetch the Uchiha police.

He turned sharply when the woman yelped. Her dog was stood over the woman ears flat eyes wide it had her arm in his mouth. Blood was running down to the path were the rain was washing it away.

"S-Shiro…it's ok….it's ok…." She reached with her left hand to stroke it. The dog Shiro growled not releasing her. She hesitated showing fear. Kakashi growled back, crouched down the woman looked up at him wearily. Kakashi didn't louse eye contact with the dog, he was challenging him, to any more harm to your owner and I show you no mercy.

Shiro growled again as did Kakashi it was a trait from his summons one he didn't use very often other than to intimidate.

He saw intelligence in the dog's eyes suggesting it wasn't your ordinary dog.

"Nin dog" the woman said. he wanted to look down but he didn't he kept his lone eye on the dogs. Deep blue eyes.

"Why do you have a Nin dog? You're a civilian?" he asked, at tone was curious. Was she one of those illegal dog breeders? Or A Nin dog smuggler?

"I bought him…. but I'm beginning to think I got done over…." She winced as the dog bit down harder. "I-I didn't know he was a Nin dog until recently when he-he talked for the first time."

Kakashi placed his hands slowly at ever side of the woman's head, he appeared to be leaning over protectively. The dog's response was to growl lowly.

"Boss?"

"Ah, your back, good I need you to make him let go"

The small pug lunged at the dog's neck Shiro let go of her arm to defend himself.

Kakashi moved quickly taking the woman by the shoulders. Haling her up, he shunshined them both to the roof. He held her around her stomach just under her Brest, she clung to his arm that was around her.

He looked up to see Pakkun evading all of the other dogs' hits. He gently removed his hand made sure she was steady on her feet before he summoned the rest of his pack.

"Subdue" was his order he tossed some rope down. Growls and howls could be heard, as well as the water as the dogs splashed through it.

He turned to the woman who was cradling her arm, shivering. He didn't know if it was the combination of the cold rain and the shook.

"Ma'am?" she faced him. "Did you buy the dog willingly knowing he was a Nin dog?" he asked.

"What? No. !"

He didn't think she had but he had to be sure.

"I'm sorry I had to ask."

Hearing Shiro yelp she moved so she could see a sad look crossed her face,

"I bought him, I lost my dog and I didn't click with any Hana picked out for me, she treated my-my last dog." She was silent for a moment he concluded to gather her emotions "When I saw Shiro his eyes called out to me, I did it on a whim, I didn't let Hana see him ever, I-I don't really no why I hid him from her she's been nothing but kind since l lost scamp. I think maybe I didn't want to offend her since I went to someone else."

He couldn't see any lie in what she had said, but it did concern him some one was selling Nin dogs untrained Nin dogs to civilians.

There was one last howl before Pakkun jumped up on to the roof ledge. "Yo," he greeted "The Ninken is out and tied up. Rest of the pack have gone back home."

"Thanks, Pakkun tell them to get warm by the fire. Tell me what did you make of the pup's skill?"

"Poor. He went straight for the kill no thinking behind it at all. He was going on instinct, not a bad thing and with some training he'll be a good dog."

"Alright dismissed." He puffed away leaving him alone with the civilian woman. There was an awkward silence between them he cleared his throat. "I'll take you back down to the ground now Ma'am."

She blushed, averting her eyes but nodded for him to do so. He picked her up in one smooth motion and hoped down to the ground gently placed her on her feet. It didn't escape his notice how cold she was or how hard she was trembling.

"You should go to the hospital and get that looked at." He advised.

"Where will you take him?"

"To Hana." He said turning away from her, he knelt down and picked up the dog.

"Then I'll come with you." She said "He is my dog after all."

Kakashi didn't want to tell her that he was no longer her dog the moment it became apparent that he was a Nin dog, he was Konoha property. She was distressed enough and he wasn't good at dealing with distressed civilian "suit yourself." He said as he turns to walk away, she followed after him. The only sounds that could be herd was the rain and her footsteps. Kakashi noticed the odd rhythm had she hurt her foot in some way too?

He was nearing the Inuzuka compound the clinic was the first building he flared his chakra so Hana would at least have time to dress, not that, that had matter Hana didn't care what people thought of her. It was Kakashi who was a little embarrassed by her night where.

The civilian wasn't helping considering hers had become see-through.

The clinic light came on and the door was open. Kakashi walked through followed by the woman, he laid the still out cold dog on the table, Hana had washed her hands and made her way over.

"I'd keep him sedated he's not trained and prone to bite." He said glancing at the woman's arm.

"Sara!" Hana injected him with something, "Kakashi in the cabinet behind you there's some clean blankets get one for her, will you?"

Kakashi did as asked. He placed the blanket around her shivering form.

"I'm alright, how's Shiro?"

"He'll be fine there's no serious injury." Hana's hand stopped glowing and she moved around to Sara "This is the dog you bought?"

Sara eyes were downcast. "I'm sorry Hana, just his eyes, they looked so, lonely, it was like he was calling out to me"

The dog woman sighed, "Some Nin dogs can use facial expressions he probably manipulated you in to buying him."

Sara gasped.

"It's why I wanted to go with you, and help you pick one out, there's a lot of Nin dog dealers out there who sell their dogs to unsuspecting civilians. Waiting to strike, it's a shinobi tactic to gain entry in to the hidden villages." Hana explained.

"So, Shiro maybe part of something bigger?"

"It's possible."

"I-I don't believe that! He-he"

"He bit you Sara."

"Bu-but he was stressed, I spooked him and he ran away!"

"Stressed or not, we now know he's a Nin dog. An untrained one your lucky he didn't kill you." Hana said firmly. "Let's look at the wound."

Hana took her arm and examined it "He bit deep, I'll run blood test on him and send them to the hospital if you need further treatment, they'll let you know." Hana's eyes strayed passed Sara to Kakashi. "Take her to the hospital flag a medic Nin down civilians on their own have to wait a long time before been treated."

Kakashi nodded he new better to argue with an Inuzuka.

"Sara I'm not mad at you I'm mad at the Shinobi who can use Nin dogs like this, it's wrong."

Sara nodded, Hana gave her a gentle hug. "Take care ok?"

She nodded, and Kakashi once again scooped up the woman, despite the blanket she was still shivering. He nodded to Hana and left. Speeding across rooftops. The woman clung to his flak jacket, and had turned her head towards him to stop the wind and rain lashing her face.

She was crying he could smell the salty tears despite the rain, he didn't comment on it and by the time he had reached the Hospital she had regained control over herself.

He did as Hana had instructed stayed whist she was treated.

She had stitches five in total, then a bandage wrapped over it, her right ankle was also wrapped up, as he thought she had sprained it at some point.

She was discharged with orders to rest, get worm. He offered to take her home, he knew Hana would have killed him if he had just left her to walk home on her own.

She hesitated glance back outside at the still pouring down rain then looked at him.

"It's no trouble really." He said putting his book away, she nodded. Instead of scooping her up though he knelt down for her to climb on to his back.

She blushed but did so, he held her legs pants still wet, but so was he, she was a lot colder then he was though, he was using charka to circulate the heat throughout his body.

She gave him directions on were she lived, just on the outskirts of the village, not as populated area, but still within the village boundaries. Shiro had travelled a good distance, he frowned how long had she been out looking for him?

He didn't ask because he didn't want to give her the wrong impression, of him. He'd had civilian girls' claims that he was flirting with them when all he had done was engage in casual conversation. Then again, he was reading at the time.

So, he stayed quiet deposited her in front of her unlocked door. And bidded her good night.

She bowed and thanked him for his help.

And that he thought was the last time he would see the civilian woman, oh how wrong he was.
