A/N: As you all have probably noticed or at least WILL notice i add subtle changes here and there because i can. I changed Gaara and his siblings' ages because I didn't like them being so young and you're learning that Alixa really does have a short temper and is quite the potty mouth, but she is a hoot to be around so long as you don't piss her off like Ino does and you'll see how Alixa handles that. Please read, review, and enjoy. Love you all muches, later.


-Sakura-

Alixa sometimes scares me with how she can suddenly be all happy one moment, relaxed the next, then completely pissed of the next. When we got to the classroom Kakashi was there and told us that if any one of us had decided not to come then the others wouldn't have been able to participate. Talk about no pressure. After he'd said he was proud of us we all walked into the classroom. Once the doors shut behind us I finally realized just how many genin were in the room.

"Gee, I guess we're not alone."

I said to Sasuke and the others. To be honest, it was kinda frightening.

"Relax Sakura, if any of them start to bother you tell me and I'll kick their ass."

Alixa said calmly as if she were talking about the whether and I felt a little bit better having her on my team.

"Sasuke, where have you been?"

I heard a familiar voice and my eyes narrowed as I saw Ino run up behind Sasuke and jump on his back and giggle.

"You have no idea how much I was hoping you'd show up here. I've missed those brooding good looks of yours."

She said and I glared daggers at her.


-Alixa-

I noticed almost instantly the change in Sakura as soon as that other girl jumped on Sasuke's back. I could tell from the blonde's scent that she liked Sasuke, but the idiot was obviously a fan girl so at least Sakura's got her beat when it comes to that. Plus Sasuke doesn't seem too happy to have her hanging all over him like that. I listened to Sakura and the girl bicker back and forth until I heard someone else come over.

"Oh it's you guys."

I looked up to see a guy with spiky black hair pulled back into a ponytail and a rather bored, if not lazy expression on his face and a rather well rounded boy with a bag of chips in his hand. The boy with the lazy expression and Naruto got into it, but before anything else could happen three others showed up.

"Well well. What do ya know? It looks like the whole gang's back together again."

I looked up to see a boy in a rather large coat and black glasses, a girl with purplish blue hair with the same eyes as the guy that was with Lee and a boy in a fur lined coat with red upside down triangles on his face and a white dog laying ontop of his head. I blinked in surprise at the dog before smiling. Despite what you'd believe considering I house a cat's spirit inside me, I loved dogs. I just stood back and listened as they conversed with each other. I looked around slightly confused since I wasn't entirely sure how they all knew each other.

"Oh, w-who's that?"

The girl with the purplish blue hair asked and I looked up to see she was talking about me. Thanks to her question everyone turned to look at me and I smiled at the nervously as I played with my fingers behind my back.

"Yo."

I said and they all continued to stare at me.

"You know, staring is still considered rude even in the shinobi world."

I said and they all looked away only to look right back, but this time they didn't stare.

"Who are you?"

The boy with the dog asked and I decided to try something that might be fun. I answered him with a short, sharp, bark and both his and his dog's eyes widened.

"No way."

He said and my smile widened. Seems like he understands animals pretty good.

"What was that?"

The blonde haired girl who had been all over Sasuke asked and I mentally groaned. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I just didn't like that bitch.

"Well, since not all of you can understand that I'll introduce myself."

I said playing off the short response I'd given the dog boy.

"The name's Alixa Dromynia and I'm the fourth member of squad seven, it's a pleasure to meet you all."

I said politely and they all blinked at me in shock. When no one said anything I sighed.

"You know, you could introduce yourselves so I know what to call you when I talk to you."

I said and they all rushed to tell me their names and eventually they got it that they had to go one at a time.

"I'm Shino Aburame."

The guy with the coat and glasses said and I nodded before turning to the next person.

"I'm Hinata Hyuga."

The purplish blue haired girl said and I nodded.

"Kiba and this is Akamaru."

The dog boy said and I smiled at him and his dog before turning to look at the boy with the chip bag.

"Choji Akimichi."

He said through a mouthful of chips.

"Shikamaru Nara."

The guy with the lazy expression said and I turned to look at the blonde only to see her glaring at me. It took me only a minute to realize she was jealous of me, though why I couldn't understand.

"You better stay away from my Sasuke you hear?"

She asked and I face palmed.

"You have got to be kidding me. Sasuke, handle your crazy ass fan girl."

I said around my hand and saw the blonde glare at me.

"That's Ino Yamanaka."

Sakura informed me and I nodded in response.

"Who you calling crazy you abominable freak!?"

She shouted and I glared at her and she froze in place.

"What was that blondie?"

I asked and noticed the fear in her scent before she masked it and started yelling at me again.

"You heard me! You're just as bad as billboard brows over here trying to steal my Sasuke!"

She said and I ground my teeth together before walking over to her and Sasuke, grabbing Sasuke by the shoulder and pulling him away from the crazy blonde and pushing him towards Sakura before glaring at the blonde girl before me.

"First off, my friend's name isn't billboard brow it's Sakura. Hear it, learn it, use it."

I said and she blinked in surprise at me.

"Second, if I hear you say one more thing about Sasuke being yours I'm going to personally pull out each and every one of your hairs strand by fucking strand before tying them together to make a noose to hang your ass out the window with. He's his own damn person not some fucking object to idolize over."

I said and by now the others were looking at me like I'd lost my mind.

"And third, I already have a fucking headache so I suggest you shut that big ass mouth of yours before you piss me off more than I already am and I wind up snapping on your ass and using you as a goddamn scratching post."

I growled out the last bit and her eyes widened before she shrank away from me and hid behind Shikamaru and Choji.

"That's a very smart decision."

I said before turning around to the others who all flinched expecting me to snap on them too.

"Now, who's ready to get this thing started?"

I asked with a smile making all of them blink in shock at my sudden change of attitude.

"You guys should really try to keep it down."

Another voice said and we all looked up to see a guy with silver hair and glasses coming towards us.

"Who are you?"

Ino asked and this one time I was glad she opened her mouth.

"I'm Kabuto Yakushi."

He said and I narrowed my eyes at him. I knew by his scent exactly who he was, but it looks like he didn't recognize me. I growled low and Kiba and Akamaru turned my way.

"But really, look around you. You've made quite an impression."

He said and we all looked around to see everyone staring at us, and not in the most friendly of ways. I growled again, but this time because I was annoyed.

'If Kabuto's here by himself then I won't bother with him, I only want to kill that bastard Orochimaru.'

I thought as I glared at Kabuto. I listened as he talked with the others and acted completely innocent, but I wasn't buying it. Though when he brought out a deck of cards and explained he had info on other ninja participants even the fact that he was in league with Orochimaru didn't stop me from being curious. Sasuke told him to look up the stats of Gaara and Lee. I watched with the others as Kabuto used his chakra on the cards and held them up for us to see. I saw that Lee's best fighting style was Taijutsu, though I learned that when he explained it to us himself. So I wasn't really that interested, but I did want to know more about Gaara. Though I did learn the names of that girl and guy from earlier. Neji Hyuga and Tenten. Gaara's information was a mystery, except for him having gone on a B rank mission and never being injured.

'Seems like little red's more interesting than I first thought. But he's too young for my taste, but that don't mean he isn't cute.'

I thought to myself as the others continued to talk with Kabuto. I'd act normal around him, but as soon as he showed one ounce of shady activity I'd be ready for him. I noticed they'd stopped talking and smelled their fear and uncertainty and looked around at them. I noticed Naruto was shaking, but it wasn't from fear. Sakura tried to comfort him, thinking he was freaking out when he suddenly turned around to face all the other genin and pointed a finger at them all.

'Oh dear God tell me he isn't going to do something stupid.'

I thought.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to beat every one of ya."

He said and I sweat dropped.

"You damn idiot."

I said, but I couldn't help but smile at him. He'd managed to ease the somewhat tense atmosphere around the rest of us. Then it got tense again when they all noticed the other genin were still staring at us. I heard someone coming our way and looked up to see the three people from the Sound village coming our way. I narrowed my eyes at them and waited to see who their target was before acting. When I saw they were going after Kabuto I relaxed and just watched. Kabuto dodged the guy with the bandages wrapped around his head's attack, but then his glasses broke and I held the sides of my head as a high pitched ringing sounded.

"Agh!"

I cried out as I held my head trying to block out the noise, but with Shakelle's hearing it was impossible.

"Alixa!"

I heard Sasuke shout, which was surprising within and of itself. The ringing stopped, but I could feel the damage done to my ears. I wouldn't be able to hear for about an hour tops.

"Your bleeding!"

I heard Shikamaru say in shock and I brought my hands down to see there was blood covering them.

"Fuck."

I said as I reached up towards my ears to find I was bleeding from them.

"What happened?"

Sasuke asked as he crouched infront of me.

"Fucking Sound ninja and their high pitched fucking attacks. It just effected me because my sensitive hearing. I'll be fine in a few minutes."

I said as I wiped the blood away and stood back up.

"Alright you baby faced degenerates. Pipe down and listen up."

Someone said from the front of the room as there was a giant cloud of smoke caused by a transportation jutsu. I looked up to see a whole lot of people.

"It's time to begin. I'm Ibiki Morino, your proctor and from this moment, your worst enemy."
