Sakura checked the address on the piece of paper that her pack alpha had given her. She looked around, this had to be it. She tensed as she entered the creaking old over sized doors of the theater. Upon entering she was hit hard by a pungent scent that filled her head. She determined that it must be a usual meeting ground for all the races. All the supes all had their own distinct smell to them, and it seemed that when they got together and had the scents mingle it was almost nauseating. She walked further into the abandoned space, it was dusty and dark. The walls were adorned with raised chipped gold filigree. The walls behind are a dark crimson red. She snorted as she took it all in. This had to be a vamp hang out, or at least they had to have chosen it. They always tended to have a more dramatic flare to them.

She made her way into the auditorium, she opened the doors and surveyed the surroundings. It seemed that she was the first one there. She took in a deep breath through her nose and almost gagged as she did. She wouldn't be able to use her sense of smell to see if there was anyone else here. She sighed running her hands threw her pink hair. Flopping down she took a seat near the back of the theater and she waited for who ever it was that she was meant to meet.

She was alone sulking for five minutes before the door burst open causing her to jump to her feet. There stood a man with with spiky brown hair and a wild look on his face. He also had red marks that ran over his cheeks, making him look even more feral. He commanded the space around him, he was tall and rather well built. He took a long breath through his nose then began to gag. Sakura softly laughed at him. He looked over to her and gave a large wolfish grin. He walked over to her and sat down next to her. She settled her self down next time him giving him a grin. There was once a time that Sakura had a crush on Kiba, but unfortunately she had to abandon her feelings. She knew with how the pack was structures that nothing would come with from it.

"Can you believe the smell in here?" He asked as he lifted his hand over his nose. She grimaced mimicking his action.

"Pretty strong for sure, and it doesn't get any better Kiba," She gave him an apologetic smirk. Kiba had started to shake it head trying to pull the smell from his nostrils. After his twitching fit, both sat quietly for a few moments. Kiba let out a drawn out sigh and looked over at her.

"What are we doing here Sakura? Today is the day that everyone is getting their pack assignments. I take it you also got a note saying come here instead of usual meeting grounds." He took out his piece of paper and looked down at it.

"I haven't the slightest what it going on. At first I thought that I was rejected from the pack," Kiba gave her a wide eyed look. "Oh come on, you know that the elders never wanted me there. They were only forced to because there was no one else to take me. Anyways I thought that, until I saw you come in. I mean there is no way that they would ever reject the son of the alpha, no matter how omega he is." She looked over at him a teasing smile pulling on her lips. Kiba just stared at her with his mouth gaping.

"You know I am not omega!" He yelled.

"It was a joke, relax Kiba. Otherwise they may think that you may have an anger issue also." She snorted at him. Out of the corner of her eyes she would see his lip curling. She rolled her eyes at him and shook her head.

"Seriously is asking too much to have people show up on time?" She threw her head back against the seat.

"We were early, and putting your head against questionable seats can get ya fleas ya know." He said as he scratched his head. She tried not to begin scratching thinking about the parasitic vermin.

"Well they would be at home here, little blood suckers." She laughed. She jumped as the door flew open again. She growled in frustration. She hated that her nose couldn't pick up the new scents coming into the room. In came bouncing a blonde boy. He looked to be of medium build, but it was hard to tell since he was swimming in an orange track suit. He walked past them with out even noticing and made his way cheerfully down to the front and took a seat. Shortly after more people started to file in. They all looked to be in their mid to late teens. All seemed nervous, besides the bouncing blonde. Everyone had moved to the front of the theater and sat in the first three rows.

"Do you think that we should move up there?" He nodded his head to the front.

"Umm I don't know if my nose could handle it. Can yours?" She said breathing out of her mouth.

"Well no, but it's it kinda rude for us to stay all the way up here?" She groaned at him, then nodded.

"I guess you're right, let's get going." She slowly rose from her seat and followed Kiba down the isle, trying her hardest not to put her hand over her nose as they came closer to the group. There were eight of them sitting down there including herself. Wolves, shamans, sprites, mages, but no vamps yet, she wondered why there wasn't any here.

"What's going on here? Does anyone know why we are here?" The bouncy blond asked loudly as he turned around from his seat looking at the group. His eyes shone bright blue as he scanned each face. When his gaze fell on Sakura his smile broadened. She averted her gaze and looked away. Though she did glance back, did he have whiskers tattooed on his face? "Hmmm, no one knows really?" His brows shot up. Everyone shook their heads at the question. He let out a disappointed sigh. "Well I am Uzumaki Naruto, the best Shaman you will ever met!" He looked over at Sakura and gave her a wink. She groaned at his attention. Kiba just sat next to her quietly laughing. She shot him a glare and dug her elbow in his side. He let out a yelp then glared back at her. A sudden cough from the stage caught everyone's attention. Four figures began to walk to the center of the stage. Yup, that's the vamps for ya, dramatic as ever, she thought. Three of them stopped in the center while the other jumped down off the stage and took a seat with the rest of them. There were three of them looked like they could be related. They all had black hair, pale skin and dark eyes. They all also had a serious case of resting bitch face Sakura thought. The other man that walked in with them looked to be their complete opposite. He had wild silver hair, and a lazy look to his eyes. He covered the lower half of his face in a dark mask.

"Hey you guys are going to tell us why we are all here?" Naruto nearly yelled at them. They looked down at him with stoic faces, perhaps their brows may have knit a bit, but it was hard to tell. Sakura shrunk down in her seat, "What an idiot," She murmured to herself.

"Uzumaki Naruto, correct?" One asked with a smooth voice. His face continued to show no emotion as he scanned over Naruto's face. His features were long and could classify as being aristocratic. The only "imperfection" that he had was long tear troughs, thought that also gave him an intimidating appearance. Naruto nodded at him enthusiastically. "Naruto, everything will be explained. I must ask that you don't interrupt while we do. There will be time for questions after we are done." He gave him the smallest smile then looked up and surveyed ever one else. "Is this it Shisui?" The man asked. The other man walked forward counting heads. His eyes were wide and dark, his hair also formed spikes around his head. He had a warm look to him unlike the one that just finished talking.

"Everyone seems to be in order, Itachi, thought I am surprised the sprites actually went through with it." He turned and smiled to the other men. Itachi's face remained stoic, merely nodded at him.

"As you all may know, today or tomorrow is the day in which your packs, clans, and covens would have sorted you out into the teams that you would partake in." The crowd gave him a small nods. "Well the council had decided to try a new tactic while sorting out the new recruits." Itachi's eye brow raised slightly. "You all will take part in the first mixed teams our races have ever know." At that statement the room filled with chatter at the shock. Sakura just sat with her mouth held open. The Supes have never had mixed teams before, and many of the races could barely stand to be close to one another. Kiba sat next to her wide eyed, when he turned to look at her all she could do was shrug. Itachi raised his hand trying to get ever ones attention and for them to quite down. Just as the room began to settle a girl with long blonde hair shot up. Her face was tense as she looked behind her, her frosty blue eyes falling on Sakura and narrowing. She turned flinging her hair behind her.

"I am sorry, but this is complete and utter fucking bullshit." She crossed her arms against her chest making her large breasts smash together. "We don't even get a choice whether we want to be in these teams. I know I don't play well with others, and I really don't want to get put with any dog breath billboard heads, and I doubt anyone else does either." She shot a glance over at Sakura that had her bristling. Sakura stood up with a wild glint to to her emerald eyes. She could feel her fangs elongating.

"No one would want to be with you either, you pig smelling selkie!" Sakura was grabbing the chair in front of her, her nails tearing into the worn red velvet. The blonde eyes widened at the feral state that Sakura was entering.

"Enough!" The man with the silver hair jumped down to the seating area. Every one grew silent and looked up at him.

"I agree with the sprite," Mumbled a dark haired boy. Sakura looked over at him. He was the one that walked in with the leaders of this meeting. He sat sunken in his chair his foot resting on the back rest in front of him. His hair that was in a messy but styled way that fell just right onto his face. Sakura scanned over him, her eyes then widening when it hit her. She knew that kid! Once when they had an alliance meeting, when she was eleven or twelve, she had gone up to talk to him thinking that he was cute. He just looked at her with dull eyes and said that she was annoying, and that he didn't have time to spend with worthless whelps. In other words the vamp was a huge asshole.

"I mean every one, and that includes you Sasuke," The silver haired man lazily looked over at him. He replied with a "Tch" and sunk lower in his seat. The man ran a hand over his face and let out a long breath. "What you want is of no concern. This is a direct order from the council. So just give it up already and at least act civilized." He scanned over all the faces in front of him. "If you could continue Itachi." He said as he took a seat next to Naruto.

"Thank you Kakashi," The dark haired man said with a nod. "As I was saying that we are here to form some mixed teams. There are reasons behind this action, and if you could just have faith that this is for the good of everyone. You all are leading us into a new era with the alliance that was formed nearly eleven years ago. All candidates have been hand picked from their class by the head or your clans. Each of you possess something that made them believe you the best for the job." Sakura's brow furrowed. Why was she chosen? She didn't have any advantages compared to her pack mates. Kiba was good with tracking and could summon a ton of wolves to him when needed. She on the other hand only had a minor, at least she thought, anger problem. "And the team that you are given was formed to develop the strengths of each candidate. Now I will be calling out teams. The leaders will be myself, Shishue, or Kakashi. Now the leaders are not permanent. As we will have you training under all of us at one point or another. Until the time that we believe that your team can function independently." Every one seemed to become nervous knowing that the moment their team was called their life would change in manners that none could fathom.

"Team one, the leader will be Uchiha, Shishue: Vampire. The candidates are: Yamanaka, Ino: Sprite. Akimichi, Choji: Shaman. Nara, Shikamaru: Mage. Please gather." Ino stood up and glanced back at Sakura and screwed her face at her. Sakura decided to take the higher path and stuck her tongue out at her. Following her was a round boy with long red hair. He seemed to be smiling nervously. After came a dark haired boy with his hair pulled up to the top of his head. He stretched and yawned as he stood up. He had a look of complete boredom on his face. As they gathered to Shishue he greeted them with a smile and a small pat on the back.

"Team two," Itachi announced. "Team leader is I, Uchiha Itachi: Vampire. Candidates are: Inuzuka, Kiba: Wolf." Sakura could feel him tense, she looked over and gave him a small smile. "Sia..." He looked over the list. A boy stood up with a smile place on his face.

"Just Sia, Itachi Senei." He said out loud

"Ok Sia: Sprite. Hyuga, Hinata: Vampire, Please come forward." Kiba got up slowly giving her a grimacing smile. She tried to smile back at him. He followed a small girl with blank pale eyes and blue black hair. That's strange Sakura thought to herself, she didn't think the girl to be a vamp. She had a completely different smell then the ones that had walked in on the stage. She then looked at the remaining people. Sakura ground her teeth as she realized who was in her team, the dumb ass and the asshole.

"Team three: Your leader is Hatake, Kakashi, Mage. Candidates are: Uzumachi, Naruto: Shaman. Uchiha Sasuke: Vampire and Inuzuka, Sakura: Wo.."

"Haruno, Sakura: Wolf." She said as she stood up. Everyone's head snapped to her as she stood up. "Inuzuka is my, um, foster pack I suppose." She eyed Kiba and he gave her a small sad smile.

"Haruno, Sakura: Wolf," Itachi actually looking taken back. He regained his composure quickly. "If you can gather with Kakashi." She gave him a nod, letting her eye wander over to where Sasuke was getting up. He was looking at her with his brows up. The moment she made eye contact he lowered them and let out a small grunt. Then Sakura looked over to Naruto and he had the biggest shit eating grin she had ever seen. She walked over to him only to be embraced by a massive hug.

"Welcome to team seven!" Naruto basically yelled.

"There is no team seven, there are only three teams." She tried to push him off of her.

"I know, but seven is my lucky number!" He smiled as she finally got him off of her.

"Itachi, a word please?" Everyone turned as Sasuke approached Itachi.

"Sasuke?" He took a few steps away from his newly formed team.

"I would like to lodge an official complaint with our coven elder and also the council." He stood in front of the older Uchiha.

"What is wrong with your team," He sighed as he eyed Naruto and Sakura. "I see no problem."

"I have been placed is a team that is below my skill level." He narrowed his eyes at his brother. "Which will be detrimental to my development."

"Sasuke," Itachi pinched the bridge of his noise. "You don't even know your team."

"Oh, I do. The Uzumachi is below everyone here in skill. He doesn't listen and would no way challenge me. As for the Haruno, well she is just weak and a waste. The only reason that she was not taken down with her pack is that it would have been a waste of chakra."

"Sasuke enough!" Itachi raised his voice and his eyes flashed red. "You are a member of team three. You will not tear down your comrades in such a manner." His brows pulled together. "I am relieved that our Mother is not around to hear the hateful words coming from your mouth." He shook his head. "Be an adult for once in your life and work with you team." He walked away back to his cadets. Sasuke just stood there scowling, his hands balling up in fists, his tendons raising as he clenched his hands.

Sakura could feel the blood rushing into her cheeks as everyone eyed her after Sasuke's verbal attack. She could feel the tears pricking behind eyeball. She blinked quickly to help push them back, but she didn't know if she could hold them back. No, she would not give him the satisfaction of drawing any from her. She clenched her jaw and raised her head. She looked around everyone was staring at her with pity, even Ino seemed to be shocked. Growling she turned her back to them and walked up to Kakashi. No one seemed to know what to say. She saw Sasuke walk up out of the corner of her eye.

"Good to know you are still a complete asshole." She hissed at him through clenched teeth. He just narrowed his eyes at her and walked past her. Kakashi leaned against the wall and ran his hand through his hair.

"Well welcome to team three every one, and it was a bright and cheery introduction for all." Kakashi smirked at them through his mask. "So you are a Haruno? You do know that they are from the Senju right?"

"Well indirectly, but yes they were." She mumbled as she took a seat.

"Senju?" Sasuke scoffed at them. "What is a Senju?"

"I thought that you were a know it all Sasuke. Surely you know about this well know historical fact." Kakashi's eyes squinted from the smirk that was under his mask. His eyebrows raised in challenge. "Dire wolves, that was what was in the Senju pack, and also the Haruno."

Sakura's eyebrow knitted at Kakashi, "Well, I never heard about dire wolves. I knew we were related, but I don't know much past that."

"Hmph see she doesn't even know her history." Sasuke snarled at them.

"Man what is wrong with you? Are you going for the biggest dick of the world award, because you clearly are in the running." Naruto growled at him before Sakura could get anything out. Sasuke just huffed at them and looked away.

"Well it seems that we have figured out what we will be doing tomorrow. We will be doing family lineage." Naruto gave a loud groan.

"Book work! What I thought we were done with all that!"

"It seems that you are not done yet." Kakashi smirked. "Plus reading is a great way to relax."
