The battle was unexpected. What started as a routine mission to the Mist Village ended with a deadly battle with the Akatsuki, namely Itachi and Kisame.
"Sakura, watch out!" yelled the Copy Ninja of the Leaf Village, watching his student narrowly dodge a blow from the infamous shark ninja.
Sasuke was the first to sense that the Akatsuki members were near. His senses had been trained to catch the presence of the man who killed his clan; his brother Itachi.
But now Sasuke lay motionless on the ground affected by the sharigan.

'This is not good' thought Kakashi as he surveyed the battle.

"Why do you hesitate Kakashi?" asked Itachi in a monotonic voice. "Is it because you know this will be your end?"

'No! Not like this! I can't let them die like this!' Kakashi thought, his mind on the young members of Team 7. He looked at each of the three shinobi, Naruto fighting to keep control over the nine-tailed fox demon, Sakura trying desperately to keep conscious, and Sasuke lying unconscious on the ground while reliving the death of his family.
'I have to do something…but what?' Kakashi then had an idea: he could use his sharigan to send his opponents in to another plain of existence. 'There's only a slim chance it will work; but just maybe….'

Kakashi's sharigan eye widened, and space and time seem to warp.
"Are you actually trying to use the sharigan on me?" asked Itachi and he reactivated his sharigan.

Their eyes met, and everything froze the surround scenery blurred. Kakashi felt as if his insides were being pulled out. He was so focused on the pain that he did not realize the same thing was happening to the members of his team.
"Wh-What's happening?" Naruto gasped.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura yelled in agony.

At that moment everything went black.
Time seemed to stand still, and Team 7 found themselves being thrown through the very fabric of space and time.

"Miroku, you pervert!" yelled Sango with anger fuming.
"But, Sango, my love! One feel won't hurt!" Said the monk sheepishly.
"Miroku will never learn," said Shippo sitting in Kagome's lap, shaking his head back and forth.
The group stopped their travels for lunch by a nice, serene pond.
The normal bickering went on in the group of friends while Inuyasha tried to eat everyone's ramen and Kagome complained about Kikyo. It was then, out of nowhere, that the middle of the pond seemed to explode, and a dark aura surrounded the area.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed.
"Is it a demon!?" yelled Miroku, getting ready to use the wind tunnel.
"I don't know" Inuyasha growled, grabbing the Tetsaiga.
The group watched as what seemed to be a man holding what looked liked 3 children, struggled to stay afloat.
"Oh no! He needs help!" cried Kagome.
"I'm on it!" Inuyasha said, jumping on Kilala's back and flying out to where the group of strangers were.

Kakashi had no idea what was going on. One moment he was in pain, fighting to keep alive then the next he was in the middle of a what looked like pond trying to keep him and his unconscious team afloat, all of his chakra drained from his fight with Itachi.
Then the oddest thing happened, he looked up to see a flying, two-tailed cat and a man with doggy ears. 'I want to pet them,' was the only thought on Kakashi's mind.
"Give me your hand!" yelled down Inuyasha to the odd man below him.

Kakashi grabbed hold of Inuyasha's hand and was then pulled up on Kilala's back along with the rest of Team 7. No one said anything until they reached the shore where the rest of Inuyasha's gang was waiting.
Kagome ran up and helped take the three young shinobi and lay them on the ground.
Kakashi rubbed his temples and took a look at his surroundings; it appeared that he had been transported to some unknown location.
"Are we near the Leaf Village?" he asked the closest person to him. When he took a closer look he realized the person was in fact a very attractive young girl.
"Umm… The Leaf Village? I haven't heard of it-maybe Sango will know! I'm not really from around here." She replied with a bubbly voice.
Kakashi was taken back by her reaction he would think someone would be more surprised after seeing people randomly fall from the sky in to a lake. But by this girls reaction it sounded as if a normal occurrence.
"Sango! Do you know the leaf village?" Kagome called to the demon slayer.
"Leaf village…? No I don't know it," Sango said walking up to the pair.
'Don't know the Leaf Village?' thought the leaf ninja.
Sango took a close look at the stranger. He had silver hair like Inuyasha, and a forehead protector with a symbol on it she did not recognized. His clothes were odd, like Kagome's. Now that she thought about it all four of the odd strangers were dressed like someone from Kagome's time.
"Hey Kagome.." she whispered to her friend
"Yeah?"
"Do their clothes remind you of your time?" Sango whispered not wanting the unknown man to here, but little did she know his acute shinobi hearing allowed him to hear every word.
'Her time?' Kakashi thought to himself.
"A little," Kagome said thinking about it "Why? Do you think they could have come from there?"
"Maybe…"

Inuyasha, also hearing every word yelled out "Why don't you just ask them?!" He turned to the stranger and shouted, "Hey, one eye! Are you from a different time period or not!?"
"Different time…?" Kakashi asked, confused. "Is it common for people from different times and places to appear?"
"What happened to the four of you?" Miroku said, examining the children. They were young maybe twelve or thirteen. They all had wounds from a recent battle or attack. The boy with the black hair seemed to be in immense pain, grunting and whimpering in his sleep. "Were you attacked by a demon?"
Kakashi stopped for a moment. "Demon… You could say that." thinking of Itachi and how terrifying he truly is.
"What do you mean?" asked Sango
"We were in a battle with-" he was cut off by Miroku walking up.
"Battle? These children were fighting?"
Kakashi, with a smug grin covered by his mask, stated, "Well, they are trained shinobi."
"Shinobi! You're ninjas?!" asked Sango in surprise.
'I thought ninja wore dark clothes,' Kagome thought looking over to the orange clad boy.
"Yes, we are ninja of the Village Hidden in the Leaf," Kakashi stated in a prideful voice.
"The who? " Shippo asked jumping on Kakashi's shoulder witch surprised the copy-nin so much he jumped in the air, knocking the small fox demon on the ground.
"What are you?" Kakashi asked in surprise staring down at the boy.
"I'm a fox demon, you big meanie!" he said rubbing his head while tiny tears tricked down his cheeks.
"Fox demon? Kyuubi! A relation to the Nine-tailed Fox!?" Kakashi asked in surprise and a hint of fear.
"Kyuubi? No I'm a powerful fox demon but no nine-tailed fox!" Shippo said taking a offensive pose .

Kakashi stared at his little opponent. He had never seen anything like it before. He was short….Very short with pointed ears, animal like feet, and a bushy fox tail.
It appeared that wherever he was, he was NOT in his world anymore.

"So you were saying…?" Miroku said trying to get the rest of the story, trying to figure out who this odd man was.
"My team and I are ninjas from Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaf. We were on a mission to another village when we ran into unpleasant company, who sent us here through unpleasant means." Kakashi felt no need to lie to these strangers, something about them seemed friendly.
"Oh! It seems I have not yet introduced my self! I am Kakashi and you would be?" he said looking at Kagome.
"Oh! I'm Kagome! And this is …" she said looking over to Sango who quickly introduced her self and bowed.
"I am Miroku" the monk said.
And when it was his turn, Inuyasha said nothing but "feh"
"And this grumpy fellow is Inuyasha," Kagome said glairing and the half breed
"What about those three?" Sango said looking over to the three kids
"The pink haired one is Sakura, the blond is Naruto, and the last is Sasuke… They may be young but they are powerful, growing shinobi, and I'm sure they will one day surpass even me."
