Setting The Wolf Free - Sequel to The Wolf Inside

Setting The Wolf Free - Ch 59

just gotta say, I'm very much enjoying reading everyone's different theories on why they think Ashley's trying to join the Akatsuki. I'm not giving any hints as to why she's actually doing it yet, but they're all interesting theories nonetheless! :D

In this pic, Tiez is still pretty young, but I don't have a picture of her and Aki together after the time skip. Aki looks the same though, pretty as ever :3

Third Person’s POV

 

 

Kiba’s eyes widen slightly as he leans on his hands and knees, a dull pain throbbing in his ribs from having Kai tackle him. A shiver runs up and down the brunette’s spine, though he can’t tell if it’s because of the cold water below him or not.

While he was beyond excited to have Ashley standing before him, safe and in one piece, the words that had just left her mouth had left him feeling somewhat confused. What had she just said? Surely he hadn’t heard the blonde right…..There was no way she’d said the Three Tails belonged to the Akatsuki.

“What’d you just say Angel?” Kiba questions, wincing and biting his lip as he pushes himself to his feet. Jet takes a step forwards and gives the Inuzuka a growl, warning him not to come any closer. “I don’t think I heard you right.”

“You heard me” Ashley sneers, throwing one hand on her hip and shaking her head, “And judging by the look on Kakashi’s face, he heard me as well. The Akatsuki are going to have that Three Tailed Beast!”

“What?....” Kiba asks in a hushed voice, his eyes widening, while Kakashi’s visible eye narrows. The Jonin’s suspicions were already growing, and he had a sudden feeling of trepidation. The tone in Ashley’s voice and the way her Wolves were baring their fangs wasn’t making him feel any better either.

“Akatsuki?” the silver haired man repeats lowly, gaze drifting between the growling Wolves around him. Despite the threatening looks on their faces, surely the creatures weren’t actually going to attack?.....Although, they had already attacked Kiba, Yamato and Sai, so Kakashi was certainly going to keep his guard up.

“That’s right” Ashley says with a sinister smirk, despite the fact that her face is covered, “You Leaf Ninja and those other guys are out of luck, because I’ve claimed the Three Tails already.”

“What are you talking about Angel?” Kiba asks, resting one hand on his ribs and giving Ashley a pained look. “Why are you speaking to us like this? Like we’re enemies or something!”

“I don’t know what you’re planning, or even what you’re doing here Ashley” Kakashi speaks up seriously, visible eye flicking to his side as the man senses movement behind him, “But we need to catch the Three Tails and seal it away as quickly as possible. Those other Ninja are with Orochimaru, and if we let them capture it we’ll be-”

“Milady!” Ace interrupts with a shout, as both he and Rei skid around Kiba and Kakashi, taking up defensive stances on either side of the Minami. “Do not come any closer Leaf Ninja, I am warning you…..”

Kiba and Kakashi glance back over their shoulders, as Yamato, Sai and Hinata run over, water splashing quietly beneath their feet. Sai rolls his shoulder, feeling a little sore from having Rei tackle him down from his ink bird.

Hinata’s anxious face breaks into a tiny smile at the sight of Ashley standing before her, but the smile soon falters when she notices the wide eyed, confused expression on Kiba’s face and the serious one on Kakashi’s.
