1. chapter 1

Prologue

Every spring the animals that reside in the Konoha forest come out to mate. The foxes start to dance, they are the omegas; the crows laugh, they are the betas; the wolves howl, they are the alphas; and the doves sing, they are the deltas.

They all gather at the center oak tree in hopes of find their destined mate. All separated by ranking: the alphas that rule, the deltas that teach, the betas that fight, and the omegas that heal. An alpha's mate is an omega and vise sersa as to keep the balance, and a delta can only be paired up with a beta. This tradition can not be broken, it is universal law, a law that even the gods abide by.

Among the animals that have just come of age, stands a golden fox that searches the crowds for his mate, this fox is Minato Namikaze, an omega hoping to find his mate before he goes into heat.

Not far from the golden fox stand a wolf who's coat is that of blood. This wolf is known as Kyuubi Uzumaki, he stands tall as the wolf he is.

These two beings are destined mates and are where our story begins.
