Chapter 1

Four Paws One Tail!

I have no name, no family, no friends. I was born in a lab. My mother was one of their victims but she died giving birth to me before they could do more of their experiments on her. So I guess she got lucky. I was a healthy boy with silky smooth black hair and silver eyes. They told me that my eyes were probably a birth defect or a trait from my father. They told me my mother had been a prostitute so there was no hope for my father coming for me! I believed them because I was just six when they told me.

I'm sixteen now and I'm surprised they have keep me alive and have yet to experiment on me. At least as far as I know. I now know that when I get mad a blue dots appears in my silver eyes. I keep that to myself making sure not to lose my temper with any of them. I don't want to give them a reason to use me as a lab rat any time soon. But I know it will happen. I think there just studying me now.

To day is my birthday! They always let me leave my cell on my birthday and walk around the hole day but I can't leave the building and after last years try I now get a babysitter! *Yay!* (He is wearing one one those outfits you see a doctor in when there in surgery.) I have never been outside but I read about it all the time I see pictures in books as well.

"Kid! The doc wants ta see yah!" A guard says to me! I just follow him, not able to speak because when I was seven I pissed the doc off by talking to much, asking questions, and he... he cut out... my vocal cords... A simple sorry was not good enough for him. When I came too he told me I didn't need them anyway... I still have the scare.

When I was seated in front of the doc he says "Alright I think its time we stopped giving you the special treatment!" I was now scared! "Just giving you a heads up life isn't going to be easy anymore!" he finished. *When was life easy before! And if he considers my life easy now what's going to happen to me now!* I started to cry and just then I felt something poke into my neck! The next thing I knew was I was in my dream world.

When I came too I just didn't feel right. *I'm so hot! What happened!* I look around the room and see stone walls. I can't seem to move my body well, so I look down and see fer! *I'm a DOG!* I start to panic when I here the door being unlocked! I look over to the door and see doc and a man with a orange hair and piercings all over his face walk in to the room. "Oh look he's awaken just for you!" doc says to the man wail they smile! "We injected him with the searem that you found and this is what happened, we're not sure what happened but we are checking in to it! So no worries sir!" The man walks over and kneels over me! "Strange!" He said as he places his hand on my head and runs it up and down my body like hes petting me and I whimper! He just smiles as me creepy-like and walks back to doc.

"So the searem makes people into dogs! I can use that somehow but try and find out what else I can use it for and see how long it last or if it's for ever or not! I want to known, now get on it!" Said the man and him and the doc left! *I'm a DOG? What the hell?*

Two weeks later and I've been prodded and poke and experimented on but I'm still a dog and still alive... Just barely... They just finished with me today and I'm being carried back to my sell buy a women. "Awe poor puppy!" She said and I just whimper cuz That's all I can do! *Guess she didn't get the memo about me being human!* "Awe shhhhhhhhhhh I'm getting you out of here!" *What?* The next thing I know we're outside! The real outside! *Its beautiful the sky and the stars!*

But before I can enjoy it any longer the women puts me under a blanket on a wagon and says "Sorry we have to hide you! I'm also going to put you to sleep!" I whimper and a mans voice says "It's a dog he can't understand you hurry up!" Then I feel a sharp pain! Then... Nothing…

*Kiba's P.O.V.*

I'm heading back to the village with my team Kurenai, Akamaru, Shino, and Hinata Hyuga. We just finish a mission to deliver a message to Some fisherman in the land of the mist! "Another mile and we'll be in fire country." Hinata said with her Byakugan on. "Good! Me and Akamaru are starving right boy?" I said and Akamaru barks "You bet yah!" Shino stay quit and Kurenai just smiled. "Wait!" Hinata said and we all stop and wait for her to speck! "There is something up ahead laying on the road!" she said "I think it's a dog?"

"Let's check it out!" Kurenai said and we ran to where the dog is! It was just a black Spaniel puppy and it was not moving! I leaned down carefully and checked its pulse, it seemed fine. I also checked for injuries. "He's alive and has no wounds but some bruises probably from being dropped or something and he has an old scar on his neck. Probably to keep him from barking! Hinata check for internal injuries." She nodded and looked at the pup with her Byakugan.

"He's fine as far as I can tell." she said. "There's no name tag on him so let's take him home he's probably been abandoned. Do you think you're family can take care of him Kiba?" Kurenai said. "Sure!" I said and picked him up carefully and we head for home!

*No Ones P.O.V.*

Its already late as a horse driven wagon trots down the road. Riding in the wagon is a married couple, who make it there life's duty to save poor little animals from people who would abuse them! "I'm worried about that little puppy we rescued to night." the woman said as she looked behind her at the spot where the dog was under the blanket. "He's fine! We'll have him looked at and find him a nice home!" Just then the wagon hit a big bump and, unknown to the two people, the dog fell out of the back of the wagon! "That was a big bump be careful! I hope he's alright back there! Should I check on him?" the woman said. "No he's fine! Just let the poor thing sleep!"

*The No Name Puppy P.O.V.*

*Oooooww! My body hurts! What did that lady give me?* I looked around the room! There's a desk, a dresser, and two doors leading to god knows where! I'm laying on a really comfy bed and I'm still a dog! *Dame it! When will it end!* Just then a boy walks in! He has brown short hair and red fang-like marks on his cheeks! Behind him is a BIG white dog. *He look scary! I've never met a real dog be for!* I start to whimper!

"Oh your up! Its ok buddy we're not going to hurt you! We found you one the road all beat up! So my friends and I brought you back to our village to fix you up!" The boy said! It made me feel better but not completely because the big dog move to sit at the end of the bed! "This is Akamaru and I'm Kiba! I'd ask your name but I notice you've had you vocal cords cut out! That sucks, I hate it when people do that to their dogs it's disgusting!" Said the boy who I now know is Kiba. Akamaru starts to bark something and kiba says "Yeah he's right you don't have to be scared of him, he's kool!" *I don't care he still looks scary to me!*

"Hey you hungry buddy?" Kiba says to me. *Well now that you said something, Why yes I am!* I lifted my head up as I thought those words. He giggles at me and says "I'll take that as a yes!" *Wow he really seems like a kind hearted person like nana!* Nana was my caretaker tell I was 10 and she was killed for speaking out for me! "Do you feel up too walking yet?" Kiba said. *I can't even reply to you why are you talking as if I can answer! Beka!* I just tried to get up and my legs were wobbly but I managed to walk to the end of the bed. *Not only did my legs hurt but it was difficult trying to walk with all four of my legs…* I didn't get much practice at the lad I hurt to much after everything they were doing to me.

In the end I fell off the edge of the bed and landed on my head! Akamaru snickered and I glared and growl. *That hurt damit!* "You ok buddy?" Kiba said with a smile, "Would you like me to carry you?" I don't know if I can trust this person or not, but like always I have no choice... I nodded my head at him and he smiled and picked me up in a way that wouldn't hurt me!

We left the room and went down a hallway with lots of pictures on the walls. *I've never seen a place like this! Is this what the books called a home?* At the end of the hallway we went down some stairs to a big room with a sofa and two chairs with a long short table in front of the sofa. *Living room?* Kiba keep walking through a doorway into a kitchen but it was different from the one at the lab. *It's more Homely? I think that's the word that I read about!*

Inside the kitchen was two women. "Hey the pups up! How is he doing?" the younger looking one asked as she sat down at a table with what smelled like coffee! "Yeah he's fine just a little sore. I wish he could talk tho. Then he could tell us his name and where he came from." Kiba said as he put me down on the ground by some bowls. *Not like you could understand me anyways I am a dog after all beka!* I look to the bowls *I hope he doesn't plan on feeding me what I think he is!... Yep there it is!* Kiba pours a cup full of dog food mixed with meat in the bowl. I looked at it. *Gross!* "Better hurry up pup before the other dogs come running!" The older woman said. I looked back at the bowl and then to Akamaru. "Oh don't worry about him, he's trained well! Unlike Hana's mutts." Kiba said to me as he sits next to the girl at the table. "Hey my mutts are trained awesomely!" The girl next to him said. *So she must be hana.* I look back at the food and stare at it. "Whats wrong boy?" Kiba said to me.

*How can I tell you! I'm not a dog and I don't eat dog food!* I just decided to walk away from the bowl and lay down on the floor.

"Guess he's not hungry." Hana said. "He seemed like he was upstairs, maybe he's sick?" kiba said. "Maybe he was a spoiled dogs who eats people food like little piggys!" The older lady said and I looked at her. "Doubt it he's malnourished and he was abandoned." kiba says and I nodded, "See!" kiba chuckled. "Well in my house dogs eat dog food, or nothing!" The older lady said. *Then this DOG isn't eating! Wouldn't be the first time maybe I'll just die than I don't have to deal with this bull shit life*

After a bit of kiba trying to get me to eat he gave up and took me to meet his other dogs. All of them! There are a lot I watched as they played in the big backyard and looked at everything! *WOW this is really outside!* I'd go run around but I'm scared cuz ALL of the other dogs are bigger than me.

So kiba explains his clan to me " You see we're a family of shinobi we are known for our use of ninken (ninja dog) as fighting companions and are identified by the distinctive red fang markings on our cheeks." He goes on telling me that each members of the family are given their own canine partner when they reach a certain age. So the shinobi and their dog are practically inseparable. The clan members are also able to communicate with canines even if the dogs cannot talk. The members of his clan have greatly enhanced senses especially the sense of smell and sharp teeth and claws. *Like dogs!* By concentrating chakra to their noses, this sense is amplified to an even greater extent allowing the user to be able to detect, track and monitor targets from fairly long distance away. The clan's fighting style primarily revolves around their enhanced speed, strength and agility granted by canine-based attacks, with the tactical advantages granted by their heightened senses.*I read about ninjas! When I was little I used to wish one would save me…*
