Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, or Naruto
Kagome stomped angrily away, her hand wiping away any dripping blood off her face. 'I can't believe that Inuyasha actually hit me!' Kagome thought, as her teeth and hand clenched. She winced as the large scratch throbbed on her cheek. Of course, she had 'sat' Inuyasha's ass almost all the way down to hell for doing that to her. 'Kikyou is dead…again, and Inuyasha still can't get over her!' Kagome sighed, and stopped stomping her feet.
She let her bangs cover her eyes, not knowing why Inuyasha put her down so much, especially how she was inferior to Kikyou in every single way. She felt tears burn at her blue eyes, before wiping them away. She couldn't let Inuyasha get to her, this is the way he was, because he was rejected by everyone as a child because he was a Hanyou.
She blinked as she realized that she was actually at the well, and sighed a bit happily. She could finally go home, after spending about three months in the Sengoku Jidai. 'At least I can do some homework…' Kagome thought, leaping down the side of the well. Her eyes watched as the bright colours appeared, pulling her through the team stream, and back to her own home.
'Sometimes I just wish that I never met Inuyasha!' Kagome thought angrily, as the wound on her cheek throbbed painfully again. She did not notice that the Shikon no Tama was glowing, or that the usual blue magic of the well turned to a bright red. 'I just wish that I had another life altogether…'
Kagome snapped her blue eyes open, widening them as she finally noticed the colour change. "What's going on!" Kagome yelled, feeling the unusual red magic pull her in deeper. Her eyes widened even further as she felt her body actually pulsing, the strange feeling pumping throughout her entire body. Her eyes squinted in pain, and her head lolled back, knocked out cold.
The red colour flashed, and the well turned back to its normal state, Kagome no where in sight.
"The mission was a success. It's time to report back to the Hokage." A tall masked person said, and his three subordinates nodded, flipping through the trees after their leader. They all landed on the ground, near a dry well that was close to their hidden village.
All of them tensed as they heard a low groan, and stopped to look over at the well where the noise came from. The leader of the group gestured for his subordinates to stay where they were, and slowly and cautiously stepped over to the dry well. He flicked out a kunai just in case, and peered down the well.
Whatever he was expecting to see, this wasn't it.
A little girl about the age of five was lying on the bottom of the well, and out cold by the looks of it. The tall ANBU easily leapt down the well, and gracefully landed to his feet. He crouched down, and observed the girl's state. She looked uninjured, other than the large slashes across her cheek.
He raised a brow from under his mask as he looked at the clothing of the little girl, which consisted of a large white shirt complete with a red tie, and a green pleated skirt. The unusual thing was that the clothing had to be like three sizes too big for the girl. He carefully picked up the girl, the long white socks falling off her small legs as he moved her. He raised his brow even further, but did not bother to pick up the socks, and just jumped out of the well, the little girl in tow.
"Taichou…who is that…?" One of his subordinates hesitantly asked, and the tall ANBU said nothing, and only gestured for them to head back to Konoha. All of the ANBU jumped back into the trees, and headed back to their home village.
"So have looked her over then?" The Sandaime Hokage said, walking down the hospitals halls with a medic-nin beside him.
"Yes, Hokage-sama. She does not seem to be injured internally or externally, other than the slashes across her cheek. However…" The medic paused hesitantly.
"But…?" The Hokage raised a brow at the pause the medic-nin took.
"Well, the slash marks were not made from any sort of weapon, such as kunai or a sword. They look more like…a large animal caused it…" The medic said quietly, looking down at his report of the girl's state.
"What it the problem then…?" Sarutobi asked, as they walked closer to the little girl's room. "A shinobi summoned animal could've attacked her…"
"Well, yes…but I don't think that it is possible. The were five slashed across her cheek, and the majority of animals only have four claws on each paw…it was more like a clawed hand caused this…" The medic answered.
"I am sure that there are many shinobi out there who have sharper nails than the rest of us. Take the Inuzuka clan for example…" Sarutobi stated, and the medic hesitantly agreed.
"Also there was no head-band anywhere on her person; we cannot be sure what village she is from…" The medic said, glancing back at the Hokage to get a clue to what the Hokage would even do.
"That is not a problem; we will just ask her once she has awakened." Sarutobi smiled, it shouldn't be too hard to get the answer out of a little girl, who looked like she was barely five.
The medic opened his mouth, but stopped before he could say anything. He already knew that the girl awakened, but there were some things he needed to tell the Hokage about before they could go visit her.
"Also, there is something unusual about the girl…" The medic stated quietly, shuffling the papers in his arms nervously.
"Unusual…?" The Hokage repeated, raising a brow again. What could be so unusual about a five-year old girl?
"Well…when he did a physical examination, we discovered some unusual things. First of all, her chakra pathways are not…normal…" The medic said, even he couldn't believe how different she was from a normal ninja.
"Just how unusual are her chakra pathways then…?" Sarutobi ordered the medic to tell him. Every ninja had the same chakra network, as the human body functioned the same for everybody.
"Well…they are placed in completely different areas than normal chakra pathways. Also, her chakra is not normal either. We have had both a Hyuuga medic and an Uchiha medic examine her chakra network, and they both agree that it is not normal. Her chakra is not a blue colour, but a pink colour and it is at least as twice as…thick as normal chakra…" The medic explained, perplexed by such a strange find.
Sarutobi blinked, not exactly knowing what that really meant. His eyes narrowed as he immediately thought of something. "Is she a…Jinchuuriki perhaps…?" He asked, though it was more of a question directed towards himself.
"No…I have already thought of that myself, and searched for any signs of a sealing technique. There was none found…" The medic said, and the Hokage nodded. He looked hesitantly over to the Hokage, and spoke up. "Also…she has awakened some time ago, and there is something else strange about her…"
Sarutobi glanced over, wondering why the medic-nin didn't say anything about her being awake before. He didn't interrupt, and listened as the medic spoke again. "She doesn't have any memory of anything…other than her name that is…"
"And what's her name?" Sarutobi asked, wondering how that was so strange.
"She claims her name is Kagome, but that is not the strange thing. After she awoke, we interrogated her lightly…and she does not at all act like she has amnesia…" The medic paused for a dramatic second. "While she knows of everyday things, other things like human relations seems…" The medic paused again.
"She is more…like a…blank slate…"
Kagome sat on a bed, already knowing she was in a hospital. She looked back up as finger poked her side again, and she blinked.
"Are you sure that you are feeling alright…?" A pretty dark-haired woman asked her, smiling as she did so.
Kagome nodded, not knowing what to do or even say. She didn't remember how she even got here, nor did she really even care. She only looked down, and played with the ends of her long back hair. She didn't look back up as the woman spoke again.
"My name is Uchiha Mikoto, so what it yours?" Mikoto smiled again, kneeling down by the bed. She was assigned to watch over the girl, while the other medic went to get the Hokage.
(Not sure if she is a ninja, so I just made her a medic-nin)
"Kagome…" She answered simply and quietly, and now fiddled with the blanket. She looked back up as the door opened, and a tall man walked in with a boy.
"Anata, Itachi…what are you doing here?" Mikoto asked gently, standing up from her kneeling position. She walked over to the Uchiha clan head, looking back at Kagome, who didn't even really seem to notice the two new-comers. The little girl was now looking out the window with fascination.
"I have heard that there was a strange girl was found outside of Konoha, and I have heard rumours flowing around the hospital that the girl may be a…miko…" Fugaku said, looking intently at the girl, who seemed to be ignoring their presence.
Itachi also stared at the girl, wondering why his father dragged him out of his training session just to see a little girl. He narrowed his eyes, and activated the Sharingan. His now red eyes widened a fraction as he noticed her chakra network was far different than any other person. Her chakra was even different that the Uzumaki boy, who he knew held the Kyuubi no Youko within him.
"A miko…?" Mikoto said quietly, glancing back at the girl, who was now surprisingly looking at them curiously. Mikoto smiled suddenly, and looked back to her husband. She knew that the little girl was not apart of Konoha, and would have no one to take care of her. Mikoto had always wanted a daughter, and she would hint to Fugaku about it. "Anata, doesn't she almost like she could be an Uchiha, with the exception of her beautiful blue eyes…" Mikoto sighed wistfully, and turned back to the little girl.
Fugaku raised a brow at his wife's statement, also looking at the little girl. His brow raised even further as he did notice that she could actually pass as an Uchiha, other than her eyes. He could already tell that she was going to grow up as a good-looking girl, just as most Uchiha's were.
Itachi stared at the girl, already knowing what his mother was getting at. His eyes narrowed as he noticed that the little girl was staring at him, quite intently at that. Everyone looked back at the door as it abruptly opened, the Hokage and a medic walking in.
Sarutobi looked surprised as he noticed that Uchiha clan head and the Uchiha prodigy were in the room, but paid no attention to them. He turned to the little girl, only needing to know thing. "Kagome…" He looked taken back as Kagome seemed to look at sharply at the sound of her name, but he ignored it. "Kagome, I need to know what village you have come from…" He asked, hoping that she wasn't from any enemy village. If they ever found out that Konoha had her, they could potentially cause a war blaming Konoha or something for kidnapping.
Kagome perked a brow, wondering what this old man was even talking about. She shrugged, not saying anything. She had no idea where she was from.
The aged Hokage sighed, and it was just as the medic said, Kagome obviously did not remember anything. He nodded, and turned away from Kagome to the Uchiha clan head. "Fugaku, I am assigning you this mission. You are to bring Kagome into your home, as she has no where to live. You are to watch her, and make sure that she is not deceiving any of us…." The Hokage smiled internally as the Uchiha clan head actually looked surprised at the mission he was just assigned, before nodding stiffly. Sarutobi nodded back, and walked out back the door, having to get back to his paperwork.
A silence enveloped the room, nobody saying a word. Mikoto didn't say anything, but she looked ecstatic at the thought of Kagome coming to live at the Uchiha estate. She had always wanted a daughter, and this would be like having one. Kagome was a very cute girl, and Mikoto could only wonder if she was trained at all. She also wondered how Sasuke would react to this, she knew that he was awkward with girls, due to the fact that he was constantly training so he could be as good as Itachi.
Fugaku sighed silently, already hoping that Mikoto would take the majority of the time to watch the little girl. He was the head of the Uchiha clan, and the Military Police Force, and had enough duties as it was. He could not be wasting his time watching over a little girl that appeared out of no where.
Itachi didn't show anything externally, but was slightly surprised at the mission his father was just assigned. He didn't care one way or the other was long as the girl didn't bother him, and from her behaviour so far, she didn't seem to be all that interested in him, which was slightly strange as he was used to girls staring at him with lust in their greedy eyes, and trying to even flirt with him. Then again, she only looked like she was about five, the same age was Sasuke, who had just started at the academy. He vaguely wondered if the girl even came from a shinobi family, not that it mattered now. He knew that his father would make her go to the academy from now on, as Fugaku couldn't stand weakness and wouldn't have a civilian living in his household. Who knows, the girl could turn out to be a powerful ninja, with her strange chakra and such, or she could turn out to be a failure.
Kagome blinked as the Uchiha matriarch suddenly walked up to her, and kneeled in front of her. Mikoto smiled widely, her obsidian eyes shining. "Kagome-chan, you're going to be living with us now!" She said, helping the little girl out of the bed. She was allowed to leave the hospital, as she had no wounds other than the large slashes on her cheek, which for some reason, just would not heal.
Kagome blinked, and nodded her head, smiling a bit slowly. The lady was nice to her so far, and she didn't want to be rude to her. She walked over to the other two, led by Mikoto. The taller one seemed to sigh quietly, before stiffly nodding to her. Kagome only blinked, following them out of the room.
Kagome slowly followed slightly behind them, watching the boy who was maybe five years her senior. She didn't know what was so fascinating about him, but she noticed that there was something interesting about him. She almost jumped when Mikoto grabbed her hand with her own, and led her outside in some direction. Kagome looked up as Mikoto looked down, even Fugaku and Itachi glancing back when Mikoto spoke up.
"You will now be Uchiha Kagome, at least for the time being…"
