Chapter 20 - Metamorphosis

Team Five was speeding through the forests on the edges of Fire Country. They were heading for the borders to Kumo. They were running, not due to any urgency, the kids were simply bored and a bored Kenji was a right pain for the rest of the team as he got Akihiko grumpy and Teddy in a snit and Kakashi did not care for that headache. They were only a day away when they decided to camp out. Akihiko had caught a rabbit for dinner and Kenji was doing wonders by preparing it for them. Kakashi was fine with letting the kids take the lead for once. He had showed them how to cook game and Teddy had known already so they let the two older preteens at it. Teddy was sitting close to the J�nin and for the past half hour he looked uncomfortable with something. Kakashi finally had enough of the ten year old kid's fidgeting and decided to confront him about whatever was bothering him.

"Teddy?" he asked. His voice got the boy's attention. Kakashi crooked his finger, beckoning Teddy closer.

The boy stood and approached Kakashi. "Yes, sir?"

"What's wrong?"

"Wrong?"

Kakashi pinned him with his one visible eye and Teddy sighed. The silver haired shinobi was glad his mask covered the smile on his face. Teddy when trying to look innocent and failing was having a very cute face. He thought that it was really no wonder the boy had so many fan girls. He also knew better than telling the boy he was cute. The little spitfire would be mad at him. No, this observation was for Harry's ears only. The green eyed man would have also wanted pictures but that could not be done, perhaps another time.

"Yes, Teddy. Come on. You can tell me."

The ten year old snuck a look at his team-mates. When he saw they were both sufficiently busy and unlikely to overhear them he faced Kakashi.

"I was wondering... Kenji and Akihiko are my team-mates."

"Right," Kakashi nodded.

"I want to tell them about me," Teddy bit his lip. "Not everything! Just..." He sighed. "You know, the morphing thing," his voice was a whisper as he said that last part.

Kakashi blinked. "That's what's bothering you?"

Teddy nodded. "I feel like I'm lying to them."

"You are not," the J�nin stated.

"But..."

"Teddy, we are shinobi. Secrets, deceptions, they are all part of the life we lead." He spared a look towards the two boys he was coaching. "They are your team-mates, yes. Secrets can be detrimental for a mission, that is true. But the gift you have, that's an asset."

"Asset?" Teddy asked.

Kakashi nodded. "This is not the place to talk about this. When we return to Konoha we will talk, extensively," he promised the boy. "Okay?"

Teddy sighed. "Like I can do differently."

The J�nin grinned and ruffled the boy's hair.

"Oi! Dinner's ready!" Akihiko yelled at them and the pair looked up.

Kakashi released Teddy who scampered off while the adult shinobi followed at a more sedate pace.

"Infiltration?" Harry asked.

"He can change face, eyes, hair, even his scent," Kakashi explained to his lover.

Teddy was seated with them in the sitting room. They had been back from their last mission just for a couple of hours and Kakashi had followed his word and talked with Teddy, in front of Harry. He knew that while genin were considered adults, Harry did not think so and Teddy, such a sweet child he is, was not contesting it. Then again, Harry had spent years protecting his godson, training him in order to survive the bloody political climate of the elemental countries. Perhaps the reason they had survived so long in this foreign world did not lie only on Harry's abilities to fight but also in the fact that he and Teddy were a team, a family. He was glad to be included, glad that Harry was allowing him to offer advice, be an active part in Teddy's life. Kakashi, despite the Council's insistence to procreate (his white chakra was a huge asset according to them and they wanted more Hatake's to bleed for the village), he would not be having children. His students, Team 7 at first and now Team 5 were the closest he had ever hoped to be to having kids. But because of Harry and Teddy, he was now more of a parent than he ever dared to hope or even imagined he would be. And Harry knew this. He was willing to let Kakashi join him in raising Teddy, a huge gift from the green eyed man and from Teddy, who actually saw him as more than just a teacher nowadays. The boy had told him so, one day they had found themselves alone (Harry had been out with Kurenai). They had bonded and the amber eyed child had admitted that he liked Kakashi. Then he had curled up on the couch right next to the J�nin and watched a movie together. Harry had even snapped a picture of them dozing against each other when he had found them.

"Infiltration, long time missions, dodging other ninja, assassinations, you name it and it's possible for him. He can change his face and body and be someone else entirely. That's better than a henge as this is not an illusion, it's the real thing," Kakashi stated. He shot a look a Teddy. "His ability is remarkable. I know most shinobi would give a limb to be able to do this."

Teddy beamed at him. He loved hearing his metamorphmagus ability being praised. Harry had time and again tried to make him confident in this ability but Teddy knew the man would love him even if he could only turn into a flobberworm so he did not count. Hearing Kakashi praise him was different and he liked it. What he did not like was the way the silver haired J�nin mussed his hair when he ruffled it.

"Don't mess with the hair!" he pouted and the adults grinned.

"Teddy," Harry chided. "Forget about the hair. Will you think about what Kakashi just told us?"

The kid nodded. "Seems nice," Teddy agreed. "I don't have a specialty as I am now and I could do worse." He eyed Kakashi. "You know that infiltration is an ANBU speciality?"

Kakashi shook his head. He really did not want the kid to think that joining ANBU was cool, because it really was not. You had to be broken in some way to join them because only someone suicidal or crazy enough would join a bunch of nuts trying to kill and half the time wanting to get killed themselves. Half their psych evaluations were a shrink's wet dream. Teddy did not belong in ANBU. Even if he was not broken he would be by the time he spent a week as an operative and Kakashi did not want that life, his life, for the smiling kid, Harry's kid.

"You could be Tokubetsu J�nin... yes, I believe you have what it takes to make that rank, with specialty in infiltration," the silver haired J�nin explained to Teddy and his guardian.

"But who would coach him?" Harry asked. "I had a conversation like this with Kurenai once."

"What am I?" Kakashi asked.

"You would want me as an apprentice?" Teddy's eyes were big and round and so very hopeful. When Kakashi nodded the boy cheered so loud that made Harry and Kakashi's eardrums ache.

"So, you think he's excited enough?" the J�nin teasingly asked Harry, who rolled his eyes and smacked his shoulder.

It was a sunny day when Harry and Teddy finally met Kakashi's ninken. The hounds Kakashi could summon whenever he wanted, both individually and as a group. They first met Pakkun, a miniature pug that was quite mouthy and gruff and Harry found that he was unlike Marge's dogs. He was also intelligent and had the gall to smack Kakashi with one of his soft paws demanding why the man had not summoned him faster so he could meet with Harry. Then his nose twitched at Teddy's smell.

"Little wolf," Pakkun muttered as the boy shook his paw with wonder.

Teddy blinked. "You can tell?"

Pakkun nodded. Then he eyed Harry. "And he's the big wolf."

Harry grinned. "Quite mouthy for a dog, aren't you?"

Pakkun scoffed. "I can tell you're a handful."

Kakashi blinked. "Pakkun?"

The pug sighed. "Just summon the rest of the pack; they will want to meet them. And Kakashi, you owe us a treat. Preferably skewers at Akimichi's."

The J�nin sighed and nodded.

Urushi, with the white and light brown fur, along with long spiky tufts of hair on his head was next and he had a similar reaction upon meeting Harry and Teddy. Then there was Bull, a large, intimidating black bulldog wearing a spiked collar that unlike the previous two dogs seemed unable to speak. After Bull came Shiba, with light grey fur with a white underside and a black crest on his head reminiscent of a Mohawk, Bisuke who has tan-coloured fur with brown highlights on his long ears and legs, Akino with his tan fur with one white stripe starting from the top of his head and going down his muzzle and sunglasses, Guruko who has tan fur, a white snout, long ears that have a dark brown colour and whisker marks similar to those Naruto has and lastly Uhei, a greyhound who is brown with a white underside and snout. All of Kakashi's dogs have a face-shaped design on their backs called Henohenomoheji, Konoha's forehead protector and a standard blue vest on them. They were a loud, rowdy bunch and it became quickly obvious that Kakashi, aside from a dog person, loved playing with the ninken. The dogs, once they got over the fact that Teddy smelled like a wolf, started playing with the boy. Harry stood a bit further away, keeping company to Bull, who did not play for long with the rest of them and was now being petted by the green eyed man.

"So," Kakashi mused. "You smell like a wolf." There was a question like quality when he said that. He had been curious at Pakkun's words and he hoped Harry would shed some light to them.

The wizard sighed. "You really want to know?"

A dark eye kept staring and Harry stopped petting Bull and stood. Teddy seemed to notice and sauntered over, the ninken following behind him.

"Cub, I'm going to change for a bit," he told his godson.

Teddy's face lit up, his hair going purple and back again.

Kakashi blinked when he saw the colours change and knew this meant that Teddy was excited at what was going to happen next.

"I want to play with Ebony, pretty please?" Teddy asked his godfather who smiled.

Then, before Kakashi's eyes and seven pairs of dog eyes, a wolf with rich black hair and brilliant green eyes stood were previously Harry was. The wolf was bigger than Bull and reached up to the J�nin's waist.

"Harry?" Kakashi muttered.

Teddy was hardly surprised. He just tackled the wolf and hugged as much as he could the huge canine's neck. The wolf nuzzled the boy who giggled. Pakkun was the first to approach the wolf that used to be a human. He bumped a paw against the creature's leg and wolf-Harry, who Teddy had called Ebony, huffed and rumbled softly, making the pug blink and sniff again.

"It really is a wolf, not a henge," Pakkun told Kakashi.

The genin released the wolf who then sauntered over to Kakashi and rubbed against the man, nearly knocking the J�nin over.

"Harry?" the masked shinobi asked, staring into emerald grin eyes that seemed to be laughing at him.

The wolf nodded and Kakashi grinned and ran his hands over Ebony's head.

"Wicked, isn't it?" Teddy asked and the silver haired man nodded, never taking his eyes off of the magnificent creature his lover had turned into.

"Wicked," he whispered in agreement.

End of chapter.
