House Of Wolves
She's more bark than bite
Preview:
“Hana-chan!” A high-pitched, cheerful voice sounded throughout the entire veterinary complex owned by one Hana Inuzuka, bouncing off of the walls almost painfully, causing the carefully penned up, peaceful animals to erupt into excited yowls, barks and other mammalian cries as greetings to the one the voice belonged to.
“Hana-chan, we’ve brought in an animal who needs a quick check-up!” The same female voice chirped, and at that moment, four Konoha shinobi burst through the canine-loving Jounin vet’s office with the owner of the voice in the lead, drawing the attention of both Hana Inuzuka and the other ninja with her.
She was a uniform-wearing Chuunin of moderate height, looking to be in her mid-teens—sixteen at most, and possessed near-blindingly white hair she’d tied back into a tight braid that reached her hips, most of her bangs hidden beneath a dark green beret that sported her Konoha forehead protector plate. Her sky-colored eyes gleamed brightly as she stumbled forwards to present a small mongoose to the older female—and by stumbled, it’s meant that this young girl literally tripped over her own feet and was about to pitch head-first into a countertop.
“Oi, oi, oi! Imouto-chan, watch what you’re doing!” The male standing closest to the clumsy girl threw his arms out in a liquid fashion (as if he’d anticipated the event) to grab both her and the animal clutched in her arms, righting them both before they met a most unpleasant fate. He closely resembled the girl he’d just helped, save for the fact that his snowy hair was much shorter, barely grazing his shoulders. He, too, sported the same uniform and beret.
“Mou ii! ...Gomen ne, onii-san.” She muttered in obvious embarrassment, bowing so low that her body was bent at a ninety-degree angle. She appeared to be quite oblivious to the other person in the room. Once she righted herself, she offered the small cat-like creature to the Inuzuka sister, as well as a stream of humiliated apologies.
“It wasn’t injured or anything when we found it, but we can never be too sure.” The male twin commented casually—he was evidently the leader of their group.
