I don't own Naruto

Wolf's Mate

Chapter 1

Hidden in the forest, deep under the leaves and bark of life, lies a village. The village was actually pretty large in size and with a low population. The birth rates in the village have decrease year after year and now, there was only a handful of women in the village. The men had to fight in the war against the ones known as the Oto. For years, Konoha and Oto had been at war with each other.

But the war isn't the major plot of this story...

"Hey! Get back here!"

A blur of orange runs around a corner of a flower shop and the light haired blonde girl started to chase him. She wore a traditional purple kimono that was not cover in dirt and her hand holds a pink flower that had been ripped out of its roots. The orange blur looks back and then quickly turns back around, vanishing into the crowd of civilians.

"WHEN I FIND YOU NARUTO! YOU WILL REGRET EVER BEING BORN!" The girl shouts loudly and was being held back her two male friends, Shikamaru and Choji.

"Just let it go Ino, he's nothing more than a drag." Shikamaru says, holding Ino around her waist.

The orange blur skids down the road and rolls on his side, making sure his bundle was protected. He quickly gets up and runs out towards the edge of the eastern end of the village. The village seemed so distant but actually, he was only about a few minutes away from the middle of the village square.

He was heading towards a wooden gated section that belonged to those who are no longer of this world. The wood looked rotten damp but this didn't mind the boy. He was wearing a cloak, much like everyone else in the villager wore when the weather turned dark and stormy, however, for this young lad, this was an everyday attire.

The young boy closes the gate behind him and walks towards the graveyard. There was an unnatural fog that always seemed to roll in on the site of the dead. The boy didn't mind it; he was used to the cold moisture in the air. He looks around the familiar engraved stones, eyes wondering for a few moments before being dead set on the one that was in the very back of the yard. He rushes over, skipping over tombstones that rested on the ground and he stops infront of a mausoleum. On the grand door, it read the word "Hokages" on it and the boy pushes it in. He looks around, making sure he wasn't followed, and continues inward.

The sounds of his footsteps echo. He tightens his hold on his bundle and looks around at the tombs. It always gave him the creeps that dead bodies were resting, only a tomb blocking them from himself. His blue eyes scan the tombs until his eyes rest on the one to the far right. He smiles sadly and approaches the front of it. The name that read on the tomb was "Namikaze Minato" and the text under it read "Our Beloved Fouth Hokage."

The boy removes his hood, revealing his natural sun-kissed hair that spiked in many directions. "Hi Papa...I came like I said I would." He says in a sadden voice. "Look, I even brought flowers for you and mama...I had to take them and I know I shouldn't have but...I wanted to put some flowers on your grave." He says, removing the cover over the Hyacinth flowers (1). The were a dark purple color and the petals curled away from each other. The boy reaches in the bundle, pulling out a few flowers and laying them on the tomb, vertically. "I know that I'm not suppose to know that your are my father...but I do...and I wish you and mama were alive...I wish I could have gotten to know you...but I know things cannot be undone." The boy says and steps back as soon as he adjusted the flowers. "But I'll be back to visit you soon." He says and waves off the silence. "Bye Papa."

The boy goes back and shuts the door of the mausoleum and quickly scurries towards the left and there, in the corner of the graveyard, against the bars and under the tree, was a small gravestone that read "Uzumaki Kushina."

The boy gets on his knees. "Hi Mama...I miss you...I visited papa...oh and I brought you flowers." He says and lays the rest of his small bundle just under the gravestone. He reads the stone and saw the date of his late mother's death.

October 10th; just thirteen years ago; the day of his birth.

That day was also the same day his papa died but he knew why they died...

The sound of bells broke the boy's thoughts and causes his head to look at the sky, towards the current hokage's home. This bell, ringing throughout the village wasn't a good sign. It never was.

The boy glops and puts his hood on and started to head back to the main village square.

The current hokage was an fairly young-looking woman. She had blonde hair in loose pigtails with nice set of breast on her. She looks over the group of people, gathering before her and she had such a seldom expression on her face.

"Citizens of Konoha..." She announces with loudness in her voice. "I bare news of the war...we are at wits end, but there is hope, for myself and the Kazekage of Suna have joined alliances in this war. They will help supply our troops with men on the battlefront and supplies for our village." The woman says.

People among the crowd started to talk among each other. The orange hooded lad goes through the crowd and looks up at the lady hokage.

"There is more I must inform all of you-" She started to say but the loud howling interrupts her. Everyone in the village grows deadly silent as howling noises rose.

No one dared to say another word...that was until one panicked villager shouts.

"THE UCHIHA!"

That outbrust caused a wide spread of panic as villagers tried to rush to their homes or into a safe location in which the Uchiha werewolves wouldn't be able to harm or at most, kill them. The Uchiha were once the guardians on Konoha. They would shift into the night of the full moon and surround the permeter of the village and with their legendary sights, they would attack an enemy without even blinking. However, as the years went on, the Uchiha's children kept getting stronger and stronger, becoming more powerful then their parents. Once incident of the power-crazed werewolf slaughter his entire clan in one night, however, before that night, the beast were declared enemies of the village after a few killings lead to the clan, eating off the reminding flesh of their prey (the humans they killed).

No one truly knows if all the werewolves had been slaughter...and the rumor was there was one left alive to this very night...

The orange hooded boy tries to get through the crowd of people but he kept getting shoved and pushed around, much like a rag doll. The boy gets spun around and before he knew what hit him, he gets hit in the head by a window-seal that swung open. He falls backwards and blacks-out, leaving him in the open.

By the time he'd come too, the village was lite with red. Such an unnatural color for the night scene, he knew.

The blonde boy gets up and holds his pounding head, feeling the gash that the door left on the top of his right temple. The village looked empty, not a living soul in sight.

The boy gulps and he felt as though someone was watching him...

He looks up at the full moon and saw the redness that came from it. He had heard of something like this told...it was called a Blood Moon. In folklore, this was the time that if a werewolf bites a human, they become a werewolf and are bonded together. Some other stories was that if a werewolf scratches you, you will die a horrible death, or if you can understand what a werewolf was saying in it's wolf form, you are destined to be with that wolf forever.

The boy never believed anyone of these cursed stories.

That was until he saw a dark figure jump only forty feet away from him...

The figure was the wolf...the Uchiha! It had pounced into a fighting stance and it growls at the boy. The wolf was about six feet tall and it bared huge paws that steps forward, towards the blonde.

The boy falls backwards and the wolf jumps, leaping towards the boy and jumping on top of him, growling loudly.

Breathing hitched, pulse racing...the only thing the boy could do was stare at the scarlet eyes of the werewolf. He wish he could turn away but...they were hypnotizing.

"You look delicious."

The boy's eyes widen as he suddenly heard that thought. It wasn't his imagination either. he'd never heard such a raspy, yet, luring voice. It was a deep raspy sound that was unforgettable.

"I...heard that." The boy says bravely.

The wolf's eyes wavier a bit, scanning the boy under him.

"Who are you? And how are you able to understand me?"

"I don't know...and my name is Naruto Uzumaki."

(1) Hyacinth flowers mean 'I'm sorry.' Here's a link to what they actually look like:
