******** Gaara's pov *********
"Alright seens how everyone is here I will now tell you why I called you here." My father said. I did not bother to glance around; I already knew who were here, Kiba, Neji, Naruto, and three of their trusted soldiers. My eyes rose and met my fathers.
"It has been told that Lords Itachi and Sasuke will be passing through. I want you to watch them. If they do anything threatening then I want you to attack." My father's eyes scanned every person before him before landing on me.
"The leader of this mission will be my son, Gaara." He said. I sighed and nodded. No matter how much I did not want to do this, I had no choice. This was my father's way of getting me ready to take on the role of leader of the village hidden in the sand. The others nodded and waited for my father to talk once more.
" You are dismissed." He snapped. They nodded and scappered out, like puppies running away from a bigger dog – their tails between their legs -. I sighed and followed suit. I glanced around before walking to my room and grabbing the things I would need for the mission. I packed everything and headed to the entrance of the village where my father and everyone else was waiting. My father watched as we all changed. Our skin burst with fur and our noses turned to muzzles. Our hands and feet turned to paws as a tail grew. Our eyes sharpened and ears sprouted from our heads. We where no longer humans; we where now wolves. My eyes snapped to the other wolves before I bounded off into the forest. I heard the pitter patter of their paws as the collided with the ground. I sniffed and the vile stench of blood flooded my nose. I snorted and pushed on faster. The other wolves followed without hesitation.
I thought our days would last forever
(But it wasn't our destiny)
'Cause in my mind we had so much time
But I was so wrong
Now I can believe that I can still find the strength in the moments we made
I'm looking back on yesterday
[Chorus]
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we never played
All the broken dreams take everything
Just take it away
But they can never have yesterday
They can take the future that we'll never know
They can take the places that we said we would go
All the broken dreams take everything
Just take it away
But they can never have yesterday
All the broken dreams take everything
But they can never have yesterday
I stopped dead as the beautiful melody reached my ears. My eyes narrowed. Why was that voice so familiar? The other wolves whimpered and glanced at me. I snapped at them and bound off toward the sound. I stopped when the camp came into view. I crouched down and scanned the area. I spotted many horses and a carriage. My eyes landed the fire. There sat Itachi Uchiha and many soldiers. My eyes followed the line of soldiers and stopped at one strumming a gatar. Next to him sat Sasuke Uchiha. Then I froze. Their sitting next to Sasuke was a pink haired girl surrounded by children, beaming at her as she sang.
"Sakura!" I thought stunned. As the song ended she glanced around nervously before looking down and frowning. My eyes snapped to Itachi as he stood, followed by Sasuke.
"Let's head out!" He bellowed. I snarled angrily as everyone stood and mounted their horses and the children scrambled into the carriage. The group moved and I stood. I quietly followed waiting and watching for anything.
The smell of fear weaved around the trees to my nose. My eyes snapped to a soldier who had stopped and was now staring at me in pure fear. He opened his mouth and my eyes narrowed.
"WEREWOLVES!" He screamed. I snarled and lunged.
