A blond over looked the village of rock and watched the people go on with there everyday lives. Masa by her side Junko ran her hand throw the red and white fur that was soft to the touch. With a small smile Masa wags her tail and licks at her partner’s face. The blue eyed blond stood up and patted the dog on the head as she walked over to the water fall. Watching the waterfall from the rocks she felt slightly calm and happy for the time being.

Looking up at the white haired man she noticed right away that he was high ranking. At first she worried something was going on, but he seemed to calm to be here to tell her something bad. He seemed nice and all not that bad. Masa beside her had her tail high in the hair and she was watching every move the man made. Ready to attack if he looked like he was going to make a move to hurt them.

“Oh Masa calm down.” she told the dog with a light tone.

“Yes is a wondering day. Hello I’m Inuzuka Junko and this is Masa.” She smiled as she finished that sentence.

Hearing he was from her pack made her really happy. She hadn’t met many members from the pack. Some secret or something but she wasn’t going to let her family tell her how to treat people. Junko sat down cross legged and Masa laid her head down on her knee still watching Mujin, but she was calmer as well knowing she could trust a pack mate. There red and white ninken relaxed as her partner pet her and Mujin looked calm enough that they should be good.

Looking over at Mujin with her light blue eyes she wondered why he didn’t have a ninken... Then she remembered that some people have lost there friends in combat, so she knew that it was better than to ask. She looked down at her ninken with loving eyes and wondered what she would do if she lost her. That would be a sad day ad she hopes for it never to happen.

He seemed upset and sad about something. She had to make him feel a little better it way just the way she was. Now the only problem was to get Masa to help her. The ninken was so stubborn at times. Don’t get her wrong it was a good thing every now and again, but it was also a pain in the butt. She grabbed the red bandanna around Masa’s neck and untied it to show the long scar on her left shoulder. Tracing it lightly she had told Masa what she had wanted her to do.

With a huff the ninken got up and walked over to Mujin. She sniffed him a few times then sat down next to him. When Junko smiled at her she knew she had done a good job and Masa wagged her tail lightly. Giving Mujin another sniff she was letting him know it was ok to touch her.

Masa looked up at the man then laid down by Mujin. Normally people would want to pet her but someone that didn’t want to touch her through her a little. Why he was sad was unknown but she knew that Junko wouldn’t stop til she could help. Nuzzling his hand Masa showed him her scar.



Junko looked over and told him, “Some people think that when you scared its the way you always going to be. Masa was scared as a puppy and no one believe anyone would want her. My mom found her and helped her live because she believed that everyone just needs to be given a chance.



Masa is trying to show you that she may have been scared and marked as unwanted, but now... She’s my best friend....”

Best friend. Those two words. Did Mujin have a best friend with him at all times? No. Or maybe, maybe not. Having a best friend never occurred to the beast while growing up. His world was just consumed by the emotion of hatred. He brought despair and nearly death anywhere he went. He was a menace and even faked his own death. No one cared to be Mujin's "best friend". And he certainly did not care either. But hearing this girl's story of her ninken and how her mother found her and helped her live was somewhat touching. It made Mujin feel, a sort of different feeling than most emotions he would feel both inside and out. It was the feeling... of sadness.

Who was Mujin kidding? Why was he having these feelings of remorse and sadness? Was it because of the Inuzuka genin? Or her stories? He needed to regain his conscience back in order and focus on the hate of this village and everyone in it, except the Inuzuka pack since he was the alpha male and primarily had to set a good example for the younger generation. He needed to regain his black thoughts together, and stop worrying for the weak. But this girl... he could not put his finger on the fact. Masa was the dog's name. Masa was her ninken. Mujin shifted his gaze downward, eying the scar that Masa had shown to him. Domestic violence, animal abuse.

"I see... You must really love Masa, don't you...?"

Masa looked up at the alpha and gave a half bark half huff. He wasn’t listening to Junko. The girl may not notice his sent but even the high ranking need to learn a thing or two from pups. She gave a thump of her red and white tail before scratching her side. Think, think, what is a ninken to do...

Junko stood up and brushed the dirt off her pants. How could she get through to him. She wanted to be up front with him but she wasn’t sure what to do. Seeing this Masa walked over and bit her hand, drawing blood. Shocked Junko just watched as the dog licked at the blood then stared into Mujin’s eyes.
