I don't own Inuyasha nor Naruto *over exaggerated sighs* Too be honest my knowledge on Naruto and Inuyasha is a bit rusty. Correct me if I mess up along the way

"Starting today I shall announce the graduating genin teams," Iruka started hearing the others burst in excitement.

He glanced at his now former students; he sure was going to miss this bunch. Even if he wasn't going to admit it, he was going to miss Naruto the most. For some reason, he reminded him of himself when he was younger. He grinned picking up his the document off of his desk. The one his cohorts had created, stating the handpicked groups.

Iruka cleared his throat attempting to gain his undergraduates' attention, but failing in the midst. He continued it, until Sakura caught on shutting the other classmates up. The classroom filled up with silence anticipating their sensei's next words. The Sasuke fan club paying the most attention, how could they not, money was betted on this situation. Also their love lives, but the stakes were higher now.

"As I was saying, I'll be announcing the genin teams today," He chuckled as he saw their annoyed faces. "Team Seven consists of Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and… Higurashi Kagome?"

That was weird; he hadn't seen Kagome persay today. She left home before he had even woken up. Usually they'd walked together to the academy with her commentary about Iruka and how incompetent he was. He peered over the classroom; he hadn't seen her blue tinted black hair or her common eccentric, vivid outfit. He gave it some thought before sighing knowing exactly where she was. He hadn't realized the commotion they had caused when he had zoned out.

It hadn't taken much to suggest Sakura and Ino had wagered about which one of them would be in the Uchiha's group.

Typical.

"Iruka-sensei! Who is this Kagome?"

Iruka took his attention off the two brightly hair colored girls bringing it on the shorter boy. Naruto's outburst brought on murmurs of agreement.

Did that many people not know her? Well, she did skip class often, but still she managed to keep her spot at the top with no trouble, which continued to shock him every so.

"Kagome has been in your class for seven years actually," Iruka says sheepishly scratching the back of his neck, causing the class to burst out (excluding Sasuke, of course) in a chorus of unnecessary noises.

Iruka watched as Sakura furrowed her eyebrows together. He mentally prepared himself for her nonsense of questions. Iruka could most likely take a guess, and probably be right.

"Why does my team have four people instead of three?" She inquired, not surprisingly rupturing the silence.

There it was, Iruka made a mental note to treat himself to something sweet. He laughed inwardly, only to not hurt the pink haired kunoichi. Merely, he couldn't be bothered with late night calls from Mrs. Haruno. They were definitely related, you could tell by how they interact with others. Mother like daughter is what they say.

"Well, you see Sakura we have and uneven amount of genin this year" Iruka explained, groaning in the midst as he seen her hand go back up. Sakura was absolutely an amazing student but she was persistent when it had come down to trivial matters.

"Then why is i-," Sakura started but was interrupted by Iruka.

"Sakura, it was arranged by skill level. Naruto and you being the lowest and Kagome, Sasuke vice versa," Iruka once again corrected.

Sakura sunk down in her seat, utterly embarrassed. She hadn't fully realized that she was lowest in her class. She could hear her fellow classmates stifled giggles, they weren't incredibly subtle with this type of thing. The class continued to hold their laughter at Sakura's misfortune.

"Where is this supposed Kagome," Sasuke muttered inaudibly.

Iruka sighed again hearing the solemn Uchiha. How many more times was he going to sigh? He clenched his head, feeling the oncoming headache.

"I'll be back," In a spin of leaves, he left.

"Kagome are you up here?" Iruka glanced around the area closest to him, on the roof. Hopefully, she was up here, his guess was about as good as anyone's.

"Kagome you know it's prohibited to refugee here," Iruka attempted again.

'Is that so?'

Kagome peered out of the corner of her eye, paying no mind to her adoptive older brother. She watched in amusement as he cheered himself on triumphantly.

'Idiot,' Iruka rolled his eyes, continuing his search for her. At least he knew she was in the area.

He moved on to a different region of the roof, immediately spotting her relaxed body lying against a pole. She appeared relax with her arms behind her head and her eased legs crossed. Iruka only shook his head, picking her up leaving a pile of leaves in return.

The students all cringed from the sudden breeze, but recovered quickly once they noticed their sensei and another figure.

"This is Kagome, for those who don't know"

A short feeble girl stood next to Iruka long bangs covering her eyes. She wore a short innocent white kimono roughly on her petite frame with a purple obi and a red cord around her slim waist. Her upper left thigh was wrapped in bandages and kunai pouch tied above it. On her back was slender discolored naginata. Kagome already appeared different then most kunoichi, her attire being diverse in such.

"Hey! Why do you cover you face, do you have a big forehead like Sakura?" Naruto called out, causing Sakura to knock him out of his seat.

Kagome grunted at the statement. She was too tired to do any more then that. Iruka had woken her midst nap, and she wasn't even fully recovered from last night. That old man was going to get it, once she saw him again.

"Shall I reintroduce team 7?"

Everyone muttered; it was obvious the expectancy was lacking.

"As I was saying Team 7 are Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Higurashi Kagome,"

Kagome hissed silently, surprising her older brother of her cooperation. About right now, she would have sent pleading thoughts asking to switch or complaints about how difficult he was.

'These people are troublesome like you, Aniki,'

Iruka's eye began twitching he spoke too soon.

"Kagome, that's not nice to say,"

She raised her eyebrows in his direction obviously mocking him. Like, he was to tell her what was wrong or right.

Iruka already wished great luck to her teammates and Kakashi.

Hopefully, she doesn't cause great trouble to them. Iruka thought scratching the back of his head.

Who was he kidding?

This went a little better then i thought but still!
