Hey everyone this is a new story for all of you. I know I haven't update my other stories in a long time. Just bear with me. Hopefully this story can make it all better. As we speak I'm just typing away. I just got millions of ideas for this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Inuyasha or anything really.
Well here goes the story. Enjoy!!!
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
He had tried so hard to protect them. They were his everything. Now there's no one left. No one to pull pranks on and with. No more getting hit over the head for doing some goofy thing. God, how he wold miss that.(Even if it did hurt like Hell) No more stupid perverted books. No more sake bottles laying everywhere in the Hokage's office. No more this. No more that. No more anything!
No one would would even begin to feel his pain. It could take some time to heal his wounds. Those deep wounds that will probably never go away. He tried, ohh he tried. But still, it wasn't enough. He couldn't protect them. The village he would fight so hard for. Gone. Completely Gone. No more Konoha. It was all a wasteland. A battlefield that looked like it been through Hell and back. He couldn't repair the damage. Houses all torn down. There was nothing left of the Academy. That rundown apartment building he lived in was long gone.
The Hokage mountain was utterly destroyed. The Hokage building was a mess. He couldn't stand looking at it. It was disgusting. He slowly looked around at the damage. For it was the last time he would look at it again. One last good look before he just go wherever his feet took him.
Naruto Namikaze was that lonely man, that just had everything taken from him. Everything was going great until that faithful day. He didn't even want to think about it. But that was something he couldn't control. It would forever be in his mind.
'Damn, I'm so stupid. Why am I so cursed. I couldn't save them. I-I failed them all.' He thought to himself. 'If only I been a little stronger!'
The Nine-tailed fox overheard Naruto's little blame it all me speech. Yes, that's right the fox is still inside Naruto. The battle over who would get the fox was what it was all about. The Akatsuki, Orochimaru, and that Traitor. But it didn't matter. They were all dead. All except for him. At that moment, it felt like he was the last man on Earth.
Luckily, the fox was the one who healed all his physical wounds. But emotional, no one could heal that but Naruto himself.
"Kit, I know how you must feel. But you gotta snap out of it. They are dead now. There is nothing you can do. It's just you now."Naruto scrunched up his face and yelled at the top of his lungs.
"YOU BASTARD OF A FOX. YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL. THEY WERE MY FAMILY. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT LOVED ME BECAUSE I'M ME AND NOT YOU. LEAVE ME ALONE FOX. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT ANYWAY JUST DO THAT FOR ME...p-please!!!" Tears were streaming down his eyes. And his long bangs were shadowing his sad,blue eyes that use to have joy and happiness.
"Alright, Kit. I'll leave you alone." The fox said as he prepared to take a nap. Naruto was still crying his eyes out. The pain he was in, he was suffering. He just sat on the cold ground and layed his back on a broken tree stump. He looked up in the sky as it began to rain. The clouds were all dark and grey. The weather matched his whole mood, gloomy.
'Why am I still here? I should have died along with them. I want to die. All the trails I've been through, I'm still here. I don't know what to do anymore. I need to get away from this place.' And it was settled. He got up slowly and walked out the village gates. With one final look at the old village, he walked to who knows what.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It's been a couple of weeks now. Naruto was still walking nonstop. He didn't eat, sleep, or rest. He was a man with no mission. He hasn't heard of the fox since he yelled at him. He was somewhat getting out of his depression, but still gloomy. He came across a village that he almost didn't remember. It was where his first real mission began. The Land of Waves. A small smile was on Naruto's face for once in a couple of weeks. He was sure Inari had grown up to be a fine boy. And Tsunami, and the old man, Tazuna, he wanted to see them too.
"I haven't been here in 5 years. Whoa they even named the bridge after me. Sasuke would have been jealous." The thought of Sasuke brought back his sadness. He let his head drop down as he started to pick up the pace. He started to notice all the looks the villagers were giving him. It wasn't the looks he received in Konoha. The look of hatred,which he called the evil eye,he had known that look inside out. It looked like they were surprised to see him there. He slowly lifted his head up and saw a nearby fruit seller.
He came up to the fruit seller and asked,
"Umm, Excuse me Mister. But I-I was looking for Tazuna. Could you tell me wh-here he is please?"He hadn't had used his voice for a couple of weeks so his throat was dry. the fruit seller looked at him up and down and said,
"Hey kid. Aren't you the one that saved this village from the Demon Mist five years ago?"
Naruto thought to himself. "Well that was rude!" He cleared his throat and said,
"Yes, my friends and I did that 5 years ago. But if you don't mind would you please tell me where Tazuna lives."
"Sure thing, it's just around the corner from the village stadium, you can't miss it. Big house." Naruto nodded his head in gratitude.
As Naruto walked to the unnoticeable stadium he began to think. "I see now., there was a rumor saying that the Land of Waves had a economic increase. But I didn't know it was like this."
5 years ago the Land of Waves thought it was time to rise out of poverty. And they did. With the help of the people, they build schools, stadiums, and other important buildings. Land of Waves became the one of the successful village without the support of shinobi ever. Of course with the alliance with the Leaf village, they had nothing to worry about. Their economic income was sky high. They were loaded with anything you could think of. Money, Food products, and even shinobi items. It became a popular trading center. It was all because of the inspiration of Naruto Namikaze. But it seems Naruto needs the inspiration now.
Naruto had turned the corner and saw a woman. From a distance, it looked like a blue-haired woman. He could know that blue hair from anywhere. He smiled brightly. He quickly walked over to her. She was sweeping the ground. Her back was turned on Naruto, so she couldn't see who was coming up behind her. Naruto got closer and said,
"Tsunami! How are you?"
Tsunami spun around and started hitting Naruto with the broom. SWAT SWAT SWAT was all you could hear in a distance.
"Tsunami, Tsunami it's me Naruto...stop hit-tting me OWW my head...!!!" All of sudden the beating stop. Tsunami held the broom suspended in the air as she looked at this person claiming to be Naruto.
"N-Naruto? Is that really you?" Naruto stood up straight and said,
"Yea it's me...Damn you hit me pretty hard Tsunami...Are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna give me some love?" The two embraced. After a few minutes they broke it off.
"Naruto what are doing here? I haven't seen you in forever." Naruto looked distance for a minute but recovered before Tsunami could notice.
"Umm I just wanted to visit you guys one last time."
Tsunami looked confused.
"Are you going on a long mission or something?" Naruto scratched the back of his head.
"Something like that. But anyway wheres Inari and the old man?" Tsunami put her finger on her chin and said,
"Inari's out to the market and father is in the house. Why don't you come in?" Naruto smiled
"Sounds like a plan." Tsunami led Naruto in the big house.
The house was huge! It was beautifully furnished with what looked like expensive furniture. Leather, Polylester, and all that other expensive material. Pictures covered the walls. Pictures of the three and some of the villagers. It seem they were living the good life.
"You have a beautiful home, Tsunami!" Tsunami smiled at him.
"Thanks Naruto. Wait right here, I'm going to go get Dad." She ran upstairs. "Hehe haven't changed a bit." There was a door opening in the front. The person came into the room Naruto was in. He had brown hair, 5''5, pretty lean but the face. There was a familiar something to that face. Naruto took a closer look and looked surprised at who it was.
"Inari! Is that you?" "Naruto? Oh my gosh. It is you." They both hugged till there was no tomorrow. They broked the hug and took a good look at each other. Up and down, side to side you name it.
"Wow Naruto, I can't believe it's you. All these years! How have you've been?"
"I'm good Inari. But look at you, you're grew a little taller."
"Hey what can I say. It's been 5 years. Hey did Sakura come with you? I would like to see her too. Naruto looked down shamefully. He knew it wasn't a good idea to come here. He started to get a flashback when Sakura died.
Flashback
The rain was pouring down on the injured Sakura. Blood was squirting everywhere. On her chin was the blood that splattered from her mouth. She hardly could talk with the blood and the pain. She had did it, she beat two of the Akatsuki members. But at the price of it, she bled too much. Even her experiences as a Medic Nin couldn't save her. There was just too much blood. She thought back on the years she felt useless to her teammates. Naruto, Kakashi sensei, and Sasuke. There became like a family to her. And now here she lies,she looked like death itself. But it was worth it, to rid the world of evil.
After a while, she heard footsteps and a gasp. She couldn't move her head to who it was because the pain. So she just lied there. The intruder came closer to her rigid body. The face that she grown to love was in front of her.
"N-n-narut-o. I-I did it...I." Naruto carefully cradled her head on his lap. He started to stroke her bloody pink hair.
"Shhh...Y-You don't have to say anything. Don't worry you're gonna make it. J-Just hold on, Sakura." Naruto was rocking slowly while crying. Sakkura barely had her eyes open. She lifted her hand to his cheeks and stroked them a bit.
"N-naruto I jus-st wanted you t-to know...that i..i thought of ..you as my best...friend.. So...please l-live on for me...Promise you'll do that? ...for me..G-goodbye Naruto.." And then there was silence, nothing could be heard but the pouring rain. But that didn't go unnoticeable to Naruto. He just stared at her wide-eyed. He couldn't beleive Sakura was died. He witnessed a lot of deaths, but this one took the cake. His best friend had just died right in front of him and he couldn't do anything about it. Boy did he feel useless right now. He buried his head into her hair. Although there was amounts of blood there, he could imagine her pink,bubblegum hair. He cried silently to himself and her. He knew she couldn't hear him, but he wanted her to know how much he cared for her.
So it was there you could see a man crying over a dead corpse. In the middle of the forest. With everyone to see. He cried for hours and hours and more hours until he couldn't anymore. He slowly let go of her, placed her body on the ground. He started todig into the earth with his bare hands. He dug slowly. Maybe an hour later, there was a huge hole. He looked over to Sakura's body and the hole. He carried her body over to the hole and carefully placed her in the ground. He had never buried a body before, he just burned them to lose all the evidence when on A or S ranked missions. But Sakura wasn't a mission, this wasn't suppose to happen.
He looked at her body for the last time, and then he started to cover her up. Only the memory of her face would be remembered. Not the dead look on her face, but all the ones she was happy and angry and sad. That was her memory. She was the greatest ninja in his opinion. After a few minutes, it was finally done. No one would ever look at her again. He muttered a silent prayer to himself and slowly got up. He was covered in dirt, blood, you name it. But he didn't care about that. He turned away, looking back a last time. He had a feeling that this wasn't the end. He rushed to aid his other friends, so the fate that was given to Sakura wouldn't happen to them. How wrong he could be at times. He had been at the "gravesite" for hours at a time. No doubt there would be some damage. Time could only tell when he would get there on time.
At a distance, he heard a woman screamed.
"That sounded...like Hinata! Hold on Hinata, I'm coming. I'm not gonna lose you too." He rushed the battle between her and some of Orochimaru's henchmen.
End Flashback
"Naruto! Naruto! Hey are you there? Earth to Naruto!" Naruto snapped out of his ordeal. From the looks of his face, you could tell he had been crying. Tears coming down to the corner of his mouth. Inari looked devastated. He kinda figured out that Sakura was no longer in the living.
"I'm sorry Naruto. I didn't mean...I mean I didn't know." Naruto wiped his tears away and said,
"It's alright Inari, how could you've known. Everyone's gone. I'm all that's left. The last ninja from the Konoha." He let his head down. Inari grabbed his shoulders and hold onto him for a minute.
"Naruto, I'm not going to ask you what happen. But you can here as long as you like. That's the least I can do." Naruto lifted his head. He kinda smiled at Inari.
"Thanks man...I needed that. But I just wanted to say hello and goodbye. I'm going off to somewhere very far from here. And I just wanted to let you know that,after I see the old man I'm gonna head out."
"Are you sure you can't stay?"
"I'm sure"
Just as they were finished with their conversation, two adults came down the stairs. One was Tsunami, and the other was an old man from 5 years ago, Tazuna.
"Well if it ain't the Great Naruto Uzumaki! To what do I owe this pleasure?"
"Well I thought it would be a good idea to see before I'm off. Now that I see you, I think I'm gonna leave now."
Tsunami and Tazuna looked confused. How are you gonna leave when you haven't stayed longer than 30 minutes. It just was kinda remedial.
Tsunami spoke up,
"But Naruto, you just got here. Please just stay for the night."
"I'm sorry you all, I know it's stupid but I just wanted to see you. Inari will tell you what happen, well just the reason I'm leaving. Goodbye you guys...And thanks for naming the bridge after me." Naruto ran out the door while waving. Just like that he was out of there. In and out in less than 20 minutes. Both his grandpa and mother turned to him with questioning eyes.
"He just said that everyone in his village were gone. I guess the guilt got to him."
"Poor Naruto"
"I've always thought of that boy as a strong man. Now that man lost what made him so strong. We will keep him in our prayers forever. That is a great man, a skilled shinobi, and a good friend. Naruto will always be in our hearts." said Tazuna
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
He ran out of the village before anyone could come after him. He couldn't stay there too long. He had to go. Which he didn't know where that was yet. Fianlly he slowed down a bit. It seemed strange that the fox hadn't said anything for a long time. Maybe he had been a little too harsh. Even though he was the reason the whole ordeal had happen, he and the fox had,surprisingly,became good friends. After the fox explain what happen on the night of Naruto's birth, who could still be mad at him. In fact, he felt pity towards him.
17 years ago, the Kyuubi really wasn't as bad as he'd seemed. Only if you messed with his family. And that is what exactly happen.Kyuubi had a loving family. A wife and little Kyuubis. But one day, someone came into their den while he was out catching food. When he came back, all were dead. He saw a leaf headband that reeked of snakes. In his rampage, he stormed off to the Leaf village to get his revenge. All the rest is history. He slaughter alot of people but no one that smelt of snakes.
After he told Naruto his story, Naruto had sworn he would kill Orochimaru for him. He hadn't been this quiet in a long while. He went into his mindscape. He saw the tall cage and there was the Demon Lord himself.
"I thought you were sore at me,Kit. Even though I don't say it ever...I'm sorry that I am the reason you lost your precious ones. Truly I am."
"No Kyuubi I'm the one who's sorry. I had no right to yell at you like I did. You didn't do anything wrong. It was all my fault, and I desperately wanted to pin the blame on someone else. And for that, I am sorry.
"Kit, if you want to go far away from this place and start over, I have the solution. Naruto looked up into the demon eyes of Kyuubi.
"Huh you do?" He came closer to the cage. He had long found the courage to go closer to the cage without the Kyuubi trying to kill him.Simple if Kyuubi killed him, he would die too.
"Yes Kit. I've been conserving my energy to make this voyage. It takes a lot of chakra and energy. Finally I am done. So Kit are you ready to have a fresh start in a whole new world."
Naruto thought about it for a minute. It seemed like a good idea. He could make up for all his sins in his pastlife. He would make it right in brand new dimension.
"Okay Kyuubi let's do it."
"That's my Kit. You are gonna be powerful. Everyone will know of your existence and also mine." The Kyuubi started to laugh hysterical as a blinding light engulfed Naruto.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
He opened his eyes to find the light was too bright. He squinted a couple of times before his eyes could adjust to the light. He could see beautiful cherry blossom trees. He looked around and saw green everywhere. Everything was pretty around here. And the air was so fresh. He took a deep breath and enjoy the freshness. He saw he was laying on the soft,green grass.
"Kyuubi, where are we? It's perfect."
"We are in the Feudal Times. Where weak and strong demons roamed the earth. The humans are here too. Unlike your world, there are many demons here. I really don't know that much about this time, but it'll do. There is so much history here. Now you have a chance to make history yourself. To have your resolve back. These humans and demons are worthy of your time. Now go Kit. Make companions or friends whatever you humans call them. Make them your precious people. I must get some rest, that transportaion to this dimension took a lot from me. You better be grateful I did this for you."
And with that the Kyuubi went to take a rest. Naruto looked to where he smelt anything that would indicate human or demon life in this dimension. He saw smoke from a fire. He ran that direction. When he got to the scene,many women and children were running towards him. The men of the village were trying to put out the fire. There was even an old lady helping them out. She had a patch on the left side of her eye. She had on weird clothing. But it was Feudal times, it must how they were dressing. She was on a horse with a bucket in hand. She was doing a good job until a piece of wood from the hut crashed down on her.
The horse ran off somewhere, which left the old woman suffering between the earth and the burning wood. Naruto rushed to her side. He grabbed the burning wood off of her. She was alright with the fact she had a couple broken bones. Nothing he couldn't fix. After all Tsunade had taught him some of the basic healing abilities. He carefully picked her up and asked,
"Are you alright lady?" She slowly looked up to see a handsome, young man with loud,blond hair. It was very uncommon to see a man with yellow air. He had long hair that put up in a ponytail that made him look handsome.(Just think of Rurouni Kenshin's hair) He looked to be very young. She looked in his eyes, those blue orbs. She could tell in his eyes he had been through troubles in his life. Then his clothing was almost torn off his body. She could smell the musk that was coming off him. He smelt like he hasn't bathe in weeks! She also saw that he was very muscular, not bulky muscular. But enough to tell he had a body. The last thing she noticed was those three lines on each cheek. She spoke up and said,
"Child, I am alright. But ye have to help those villagers put out the fire." Naruto wondered what she was staring at him for. But he put that thought away and sat her down by the tree.
"Okay, I will help them." He hurried off to the burning hut where there were still people trying to save it.
"Everyone move back!!!" The men looked at him and moved out of his way. Once they were in the clear, he made handseals that no one could keep up. He shouted the jutsu,
"Suiton:Daibakufu no Jutsu!!!" A waterfall of water came from out of nowhere came crashing down on the burning hut. The fire was put out in a hurry. All the men and women and children looked with fascination in their eyes. They started to cheer for Naruto. The little children came running up to Naruto and clinged to hi. Hearing their screams and gratitude from the villagers made him feel sheepish. He hadn't really receive that much attention for putting out a fire. He guessed this world was different after all.
The old woman cam up behind him and said,
"Thank was amazing,Child. We are grateful to ye." The old woman smiled brightly up at him and so did the villagers. He started to scratch the back of his head and gave them his foxy smile.
"I'm glad I could help. But are you okay old lady?" The old woman frowned at the name he called her.
"I just need to rest young one."
"Well lets go heal those wounds of yours." The old woman widened her eyes a little.
"Ye know how to heal wounds young man."
"Yeah,where is your uhh house or hut thingy?'' Truthfully he didn't know what to call those little houses. Getting use to here was gonna take a while.The woman pointed north.
"It is over the hills, Child." Naruto carefully put her on his back and jumped from the crowd of young and old people. They all gasped when a human cold jump that high. Only demons could do that, and he hadn't looked like a demon.
While jumping up the hill, Naruto saw a small hut. He assumed it was the old womans'. He stopped in front of the entrance. He walked in and sat the woman down on the mat. He started to do the handsigns that Tsunade taught him countless of times.Everytime he would mess up, she would make him do it all over again to get it right. He had to practice doing it at a fast pace. After weeks of practice he finally got it down. His hands started to glow green. The old woman was observing him. She looked fascinated. Next, he touched her shoulder with his index finger.
Before he touched her shoulder, it was in pain. Now, it was pain free. It was a miracle. Normally, it took a couple of days to heal her weak wounds. Just in the matter of seconds was impossible!
"How did ye do that so fast?"
"I am a ninja and I can do all sort of things."
"A ninja aye. Very interesting. Ye make water and heal in the matter of seconds is amazing!"
"Indeed. But I must know if you could understand my situation if I tell you and let me stay in your village."
"We shall see." Naruto took a deep breath as he prepared to tell her the story of his life. Hopefully,he won't repeat himself. And after about 20 minutes he told her almost everything. From the time he was born to the time he spent his last moments in Konoha. Let's say that the old woman wold of had a heart attack and came back and had another one. She straighten up her face and cleared her throat.
"That is a very...sophisticated story. I am indeed sorry for all the pain ye went through. If it's a new start ye need,then ye may stay here. Besides we could use ye help with all the problems around here." Naruto let out a breath he was holding in. He could stay,he had the old woman's word.
"What problems are you talking about old woman?"
"Demons are starting to appear more in this village. Many of the villagers are dying trying to fight off the demons. I myself have had trouble keeping up with them. If ye are strong as ye say ye are,then maybe ye could help us."
"Sure thing,no problem at all...Oh before I forget, my name is Naruto Namikaze!"
"Naruto aye. The name of this old woman is Kaede." She slightly bowed her head to Naruto. He smiled and said,
"Mmm...I kinda like old hag better." "In the memory of you Granny Tsunade." Kaede's face faulted. She soon got to sniffing and decided to bring up another subject.
"Naruto,maybe ye should take a bath? It could help wash that stench off ye." Naruto looked at her and smelled himself. When he smelt himself, his face scrunched up.
"Yea you are right. But where do I do that at?"
"In the woods, it's close to here. Do ye need a change of clothes?"
"Nah I got it. See you in a little bit." He waved at her as he walked out the hut. He looked towards the woods and ran. After a couple of turns, he finally heard a waterfall.
"Finally, I'm here!" He got closer to the water and started to take his rags off. He was naked. He jumped into the warm water. He let down his ponytail. Hair was coming down to his back.He started to wash himself clean. After that he just relaxed in the water in silence.
After 10 minutes, He got out of the water and called out some of his chakra. Blue-like fire surrounded him. In an instance, he was dry. He had learned a technique that he could use to dress himself in anything he'd like. He closed his eyes and thought of a style. When he opened his eyes, he looked at himself. He had on black cargo shorts that stopped just above his ankles. A black,plain shirt that showed his pecs. White tape on his left arm that came down to his hands. He sported regular sandals.And the necklace that Tsunade gave him all those years ago. He decided to go back to the Old Hag's hut.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Kaede! I'm back!" yelled Naruto as he walked in the door. He saw her boiling some kind of a stew. It smelt delicious.
"Do ye have to yell. Come sit." Naruto did as he was told. Kaede handed him a bowl of stew. He said his prayers and ate like there was no tomorrow. After all, he hadn't eaten in weeks. It was a surprise he was still alive and well. After a few seconds, he asked for another bowl and another after that until it was all gone. He sat there stuffed and burped aloud.
"Man,that was good Old hag! I think I'm going to take a nap. See ya when I wake up." Kaede watched him as he drifted to sleep.
"How could someone eat that much" she asked herself. That's when she noticed that there was no more stew left for her. She hadn't even taste it. Kaede sighed and walked out of the hut.
"With this boy here, I have to gather more ingredients."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
When Naruto woke up, he saw he was alone in the hut. He sat up slowly to remember where he was. Then it came back to him. This was is home for the time being. It was small, but it was something. He got up and went to the waterfall. He washed the sleep in his eyes. He looked up in the sky, and he could tell it was another day. He had no idea he slept that long. He felt refreshed, and jumped around the rocks that surrounded the waterfall. He jumped to the top and looked at the beautiful scenary. He,then, looked at the sky again. He bowed his head and said a silent prayer.
Off he was to fin the Old hag. He just followed her scent that led to the village. After searching for her, her found her in the gardens picking things.
"What are you doing Old hag." he said with a smile. He liked to ticked with people. It was who he was.
"I am picking ingredients for food."
"Ditto. So do you anything for me to do today?"
"Actually, ye could help me pick the vegetables." Naruto faced frowned. What a bad thing to ask. He thought he was done picking stuff. He remembered those times when he and his teammates were picking weeds. Then an idea hit him.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!!" Kaede looked up when he started to yell something. When she did look up, she saw like 50 Naruto's picking at the weeds. Soon they had picked up everything.
"Alright Old hag,we're done." Both the real Naruto and the clones said in unison. Kaede looked shocked and then recovered. She cleared her throat.
"Ahem...Naruto very impressive. But ye have to check each one to see if it is good. Do that now."All the Narutos said,
"Awwwww!!!" And for the next hour, Naruto and Kaede spent checking for bad vegetables. They were on their way back to the village when a child appeared. She was running towards Kaede.
"Lady Kaede...A demon has appeared again. The villagers need your help."
"Aye child. I will be there shortly." The child nodded her head and headed back to the village. Naruto took a look at Kaede and said,
"Don't you need to rest Old hag?"
"Rest can wait. Besides there is no one brave enough to face a demon." She looked at Naruto as if she were telling him "you go slay the demon" Naruto sighed and said,
"Alright,fine. I'll go do it."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
He rushed to the village to see a giant snake-like demon destroying the huts.
"Hey, you demon back off!!!" shouted Naruto. The snake turned around and growled at him.
"FOOLISH HUMAN! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I WILL END YOUR EXISTENCE NOW!!!" The demon launched at Naruto,only to have Naruto disappear in a yellow flash. The demon was looking around to see where he went.
"WHERE DID HE GO?"
"Right here scaley!!!" Naruto appeared on top of the snake's head with a blue ball in his hands. It was the size of a basketball. Naruto called out the jutsu's name.
"Rasengan!!!" Naruto slammed his left hand into the head of the demon. The demon desintegrated in a blinding light. The villagers once again cheered for Naruto.
"People please. It was nothing. Thank you." Naruto laughed his laugh that he thought was forgotten.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Later that night, Kaede and Naruto talking about the events that happened that day.
"...And they all cheered for me. It was totally awesome." Naruto had to take a breathe. He had been talking for a while now. And it looked Kaede had been enjoying his stories.
"Ye seem to be having a good time,aye?"
"Ditto!"
"I see. But remember Naruto, ye have gain the villagers trust and respect. Ye have protect this village with all ye might. It will be sometime that ye will not be around to do that. That is why the villagers need to learn how to protect themselves. It is good to protect them. But what good is it if they can't do it themselves? Ye will not be here forever. Give them the inspiration they need to become better people for their children and themselves. That is all I need from ye."
"I see where you are coming from Kaede."
"Exactly. I remember about 50 years ago, when I was young..." Naruto spit out his stew and shouted,
"YOU WERE YOUNG????" Kaede gave him a weird look.
"OF COURSE I WAS YOUNG ONCE!!!!"
"I can't believe that one bit...But continue!" Kaede gave him an evil glare and continued.
"As I was saying, when I was young I couldn't protect myself. So my elder sister did it. In fact, she protected everyone from harm and even the Shikon Jewel." Naruto looked confused and asked,
"What's a Shikon Jewel?"
"It's a jewel that was created by the battle of the great miko Midoriko and a powerful demon. Legend says she was able to purify the souls of demons. Her final adversary and the one that claimed her life was created by many demons joined and anchored within the evil heart of a human who secretly lusted for her. It is said that she fought for seven days and seven nights when she finally realized she was unable to continue fighting. So she seized the spirit of the demon and bound it with her own with the last of her power. It killed both her and the demon and the Shikon Jewel was created. Within the jewel, it is still a battle waging on between Midoriko and the demons. The state of this battle is influenced by the person who possesses the jewel."
"Wow that Midoriko woman sure is something. She is so inspiring. I would like to know more about her."
"Unfortunately, there is little information about her. She is a legend. The jewel was put under protection of my sister,Kikyo. She was a miko herself, so thats why she was entrust with the jewel. Her spiritual powers surpassed many other mikos. It was one day,50 years ago,that she was betrayed by the one she loved. She was seeing a half-demon named Inuyasha. At first, I was cautious of him. As time pass by, Inuyasha and my sister started to see each other more. They were in love, or so I thought. It was when my sister asked Inuyasha if he wanted to be human so they could be together. He accepted. The day she was supposed to bring the jewel, Inuyasha attacked Kikyo. Inuyasha stoled the jewel from my sister, and that is when she ignored her feelings for him and sealed him to the Goshinboku. She asked me to burned her body with the Sacred Jewel with so it travel with her in the afterlife."
Naruto looked to be in deep thought.The story he just hears was incredible! Full of adventure and sadness. Kinda like his story.
"Interesting...I definitely have to learn more about this. Come to think of it. I've never been this excited to learn something. I hate learning history!"
"Put ye mind to it.Ye should rest now,who knows what tomorrow will bring."
"Right."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
That was how Naruto spent the next month. He helped Kaede with anything she need. He fought demons that terrorized the village. He learned stories that intrigued him. It was how it was everyday. Until something unique happen. Kaede heard all the commotion from all the way in the village. She looked at Naruto, who was still sleep, and decided to wake him up.
"Naruto get up" Over the past month Kaede had found out it was a hard task to wake up Naruto. He was such a heavy sleeper for someone who was suppose to be a ninja. She did what she did the last time to wake him up.
"I got Ramen!" At the sound of ramen, Naruto got up so fast.
"Ramen! Where?" He remembered that the Feudal times didn't have ramen and Kaede had played a prank on him.
"That was so mean Kaede. What did you do that for?" He rubbed his eyes rapidly.
"The villagers are in danger,we must hurry!" Naruto sprang up to his feet. There he wore a black muscle shirt,with the black cargo pants and sandals.
"What are you waiting for Old hag? Let's go!" He carried her on his backed and ran to the village with all his might.
A few seconds later there was a crowd of people in a circle looking at something. Then they the thing the villagers were watching say,
"You didn't have to tie me up you know." They heard the villagers "whisper" to each other.
"Is she a warrior?"
"You reckon it's war"
"Of course it is. And right in the middle of rice planting season too." Then someone said to introduce that Naruto and Kaede were there,
"Make way for Priestess Kaede and Honorable Naruto!" The two of them came from the crowd and Naruto took a look at the woman.
"Wow she's beautiful"
Kagome looked at the old woman and thought,
"Now what?" But when she looked at Naruto she had different thoughts.
"He's hotter than the guy in the forest. Oh my gosh he's so ripped."
She was staring at Naruto up and down. She had to fight down a blush that was appearing on her face. The way he kept his body was so erotic to her.
"I've never had these thoughts before ever. Why now?"
She snapped out of thoughts when the old woman threw some rice stuff on her. The Old lady muttered,
"Demon be gone."
"Hey,hey. I'm not a demon okay." Kagome said while she gave Kaede a dirty look. Kaede looked surprised.
"Are ye not? Then why were ye found in The Forest of Inuyasha?" As soon as Kagome was gonna answered, the villager standing over Kaede said,
"She could be a spy from another village." Kaede replied.
"In that case she would be a fool. Who would invade such a poor village as ours." Just then Kaede gasped and took a closer look at Kagome's face. Kagome was still giving her a dirty look. Just then she stopped when Kaede walked closer to her.
"Let me have a good look at ye." Kaede grabbed her chin and turned her head in all kinds of directions. Kagome started to get angry and thought,
"Why you!" She stopped thinking when that hot guy came to her rescue. He removed the old woman's hands from her chin.
"Hey Old hag.She ain't no demon. If she was, I could smell it on her. Besides, she's hot!" Naruto said as he winked at Kagome. Kagome then blushed at the compliment he gave her.
"Look why don't we take her back to the hut,it's getting dark."
"Aye!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Kaede, Naruto, and Kagome were in Kaede's hut. Kaede was making stew again. She stirred some in a bowl and handed it to Kagome.
"Stew?" Kagome was rubbing her wrists where the ropes had been. When Kaede handed her the bowl, she got excited.
"Wow! That looks great! Real food!" She slurped the stew with hunger. Naruto looked on with humor and chuckled outloud. Kagome stopped slurping and glared at him.
"What you laughing at?" She sat the bowl down and put her hand on her hips. Naruto sat up and said,
"Nothing at all." He was still giggling. Kaede looked between the two.
"Naruto,leave the child alone. Excuse him dear.Bear us no ill will child. For though I know see ye mean us no harm. In these trouble times of war, no stranger may be welcome among us without deep distrust."
"We really aren't in Tokyo anymore,are we?" Naruto and Kaede looked each other with confusion.
"Tok-yo never heard of it" they said together
"Is that where your people are from?"
"Umm yeah. I should get going."
"Though I have no idea how to get back of course." She took another slurp of her stew.
Naruto heard something in a distance.
"I hear something! I think it's a demon!" Then the bells rung. All three of them hurried out of the hut to see what was going on. Kagome and Kaede both gasped at the sight of the centipede demon. The demon had a horse in its mouth and dropped it in front of them. All of a sudden Naruto pointed upward.
"Hey! That demon has boobs. Haha no way" Naruto was laughing hysterical. Kagome said,
"It's that thing!" The demon recognized her and said,
"GIVE ME THE SACRED JEWEL!" She slitered or whatever towards Kagome. But Naruto came in front of her and punched the demon hard. It was one of those Tsunade punches. The demon fell back into a tree. It got back up angry.
"YOU! YOU WILL DIE FOR INTERFERING!"
Meanwhile, Kaede and Kagome were still standing there watching the battle. Kagome wondered how Naruto could fight off that demon. Kaede got to thinking.
"It said Sacred Jewel!"
Back To The Battle
"I MUST HAVE IT! I MUST HAVE IT!" It twirled around in the sky to create wind. Naruto covered his face.
"Yeah Yeah,you gotta have it. But you ain't getting it!" Just as he said that, the demon created like a torpedo-type move and it hit with full force. Naruto got knocked a hundred feet into the forest. Kagome and Kaede watched on with horror. Just as it seems Naruto was gonna win, he gets knocked out. Kaede knew what she had to do. She got her bow and arrows and started to shoot at the demon.
"That thing...is after me!"
"Spears,arrows, nothing will work!" said one of the villagers
"We need Naruto!"
"Nonsense! Ye need to stop relaying on Naruto. We must lure it to the Dry Well!" said Kaede
"The Dry Well?" asked Kagome. Kaede replied,
"In The Forest of Inuyasha."
"The one I climbed out of!"
"Which way is the forest? Where the light's shining right?"She rushed without getting indication of a yes or no.
"I'll draw it away!" She ran as fast as she could
"Someone will save me,right? They've got to!" She heard the demon coming closer.
"Grandpa? Mom? Anybody? Whoever you are! Please somebody HELP ME!" Kagome tripped over her feet and turned around. The demon was getting closer. Death was near her. She could smell it. She closed her eyes and waited for her death. She heard someone say,
"Doton:Doryuheki!!!" Naruto spewed out a stream of mud in front of Kagome. It quickly solidify into a strong wall. The demon crashed into it.
"UGHH! YOU AGAIN! THIS TIME I'LL DEAL WITH YOU NOW!"The demon prepared to finish off Naruto,but Naruto had a trick under his sleeve.
"KAGE BUNSHIN no JUTSU!!!" Hundreds of Narutos appeared
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" Kagome got from behind and saw the many Narutos
"This guy...he's so powerful!"
"You guys ready!!!" asked the real Naruto. He got a chorus of "ya" and "yeah" Naruto raised his right arm and shouted,
"HERE WE GO.HAREMU NO JUTSU" Hundreds of beautiful women took the place of the Narutos. Kagome's face faulted. Suddenly she got angry
"What the heck is that suppose to be?!?!"
The demon had similiar thoughts.
"HOW DARE YOU TOY WITH ME!!!" The demon attacked the clones with its tail. All the clones disperse except for the real one. The real Naruto was standing before the demon with a determined look on his face. All of a sudden, Naruto smirked
"Okay demon! It's bout time I stop playing games and finish this!" Before Naruto could do anything, the demon dug its way underground. Naruto punched the ground with force. The earth shattered under his punch. When the dust cleared,no demon. How can something so big just disappeared like that. He heard the earth rumbling. It must have been the demon coming from its hiding place. Then Naruto looked over to Kagome and widened his eyes.
"How could I've been so stupid!" He yelled in his mind as he raced over to Kagome. The demon come from under Kagome's legs. .The centipede took her into the air and bit her side. After it got what it was looking for, it threw her higher into the air to make her fall to her death.
"Oh God. I'm gonna die. I'm sorry Grandpa,Mom,Souta!"
"Ahhhhh" screamed Kagome. She was about to land on the ground when Naruto leaped into the air and caught her. Her eyes were still close. She felt warm hands underneath her legs and her back. When she opened her eyes,she was looking into the most beautiful pair of eyes ever. She slightly lost her breath when she saw Naruto and started to blush. Kagome stareda t the blue eyes that appeared to be smiling at her.
"Are you okay?" The blush on her face increased when he heard him talked. His voice was like heaven. And everyone wants to have a piece of heaven. She nodded her head because she didn't trust her voice. Naruto settled onto the ground and gently placed Kagome on it. He turned to the demon and frowned.
"It's time for this battle to end!" Naruto cracked his knuckles. He prepared for his favorite move of all time. He held out his hands and he released chakra into each. The white lightning appeared. He powered them up. It sounded like a thousand birds chirping. He ran up to the centipede and outstretched both of his arms into the skin of the demon.
"CHIDORI!!!" There was a great explosion and blinded light. Kagome shielded herself from the light. After a few seconds, the light died down. Kagome opened her eyes and saw Naruto panting hard. There was no more centipede demon! Naruto collapsed on his knees,shaking. He had used too much chakra. Of all the times he used these techniques in one day, he shouldn't be this tired. Kagome rushed to his side. She kneeled to him.
"Naruto! Are you alright?" It was her first time using his name. It sounded good coming off her tongue. Naruto looked up to her worried face. She put a hand on his shoulder. He looked at her hand and she looked at it as well. She quickly removed it and blushed. Naruto smiled. Somehow, he liked the way he could make her blush so easily. It just suits her so well.
"I'm just a little tired is all. But are you okay? You must have been shooken up." Kagome faced him.
"He sounds like he's worried about me."
"Yeah.I kinda was."
"Don't worry about it. As long as I'm around you have nothing to fear,Ditto!" He gave her one of his foxy smiles that made her blush even more. He sounded so sincere. They heard horses coming closer, they assume it was Kaede and the other villagers. They came up to them. Kaede got off her horse and asked,
"How are ye,Kagome?"
"I'm fine,Kaede."
"Good. We have to find the jewel before anyone else takes possession of it." Naruto got a little annoyed that the old hag didn't acknowledged him.
"OLD HAG.IF YOU HADN'T NOTICED I'M HERE TOO!"Naruto took deep breaths to calm himself.
"Aye! I need not to worry about ye. Ye will be fine." In front of them, the demon's head lie. It started to move. Kagome saw this and said,
"It's still moving!"
"Find the glowing flesh. That's where the jewel will be. It must be removed at once. Less the flesh of Mistress Centipede revivedd" Kagome looked hysterical.
"Whoa,Whoa. Tell me you're joking!" She looked through the head to find a glowing light. She pointed at the head.
"There. It's right there near the throat!" Kaede walked over and grabbed the jewel from the flesh. The flesh of the centipede desintegrated and there was nothing but bones. Naruto looked up at the old woman and said,
"That was cool,Old hag! Still got some moves in ya old timer!" Kaede walked over and gave jewel to Kagome. Kagome looked confused.
"Huh...But"
"Only ye may possess the Sacred Jewel." Kagome thought for a minute and asked,
"But how did it get inside my body? Why would I have a jewel wanted by demons?"
"I don't know the answer to ye question."
"Hey I'm injured over here. A little help!" shouted angry Naruto.
"Aye. Shall we go home?"
"Finally!"
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The villagers were repairing the damage the demon created. The young and the old were all pitching in.
In Kaede's hut, Kaede was healing Kagome's wound on her side.
"How's that?" Kaede said as she put a cloth on her wound. Kagome was in little pain, but it still sting.
"I noticed you're rebuilding those houses wrecked by Mistress Centipede. What a pain!"
"Pain yes and it's just beginning. Now that the Shikon no Tama is back among us, far worse than Mistress Centipede will come to claim it."
"Worse than yesterday?"
"Not just demons,there are humans whose hearts are more evil and only the jewel has the power to reel their petty ambition." Just then Naruto came in. He was covered in dirt. He wore a muscle shirt that was suppose to be white. Sweat was glistening off his body. Kagome stared at him lustfully. She caught herself looking at him.
"Bad thoughts,Bad thoughts!"
"The repairing is all done,Old hag. Now I'm going to the waterfall to freshen up." He saw Kagome turned around. Then he got an idea of how to mess with Kagome.
"Hey Kagome!" Kagome jumped when he said her name. She slowly turned around.
"You wanna join me? I don't think I can reach my back, if you know what I mean." Kagome turned back around and her whole head was red. Oh, how could he get her so hot. And over little things too.
"Don't think about it. Focus...Focus...I can't do it!"
"Why must you torment me?" She said while having fake tears in her eyes. Naruto chuckled. He turned around out of the hut.
"Kagome, I have reason why I think ye are the reincarnation of my deceased sister,Kikyo."
"Huh..Me?"
"Yes. It isn't just because ye resemble her. The Jewel of Four Souls was in your body, that alone is proof enough. It's up to ye now child to take over its protection." Kagome fiddled with the jewel in her hand. She stood up and walked outside.
"I'll be back." Kagome walked out of the hut. As soon as she started walking,she held the jewel in her hands.
"Me.Protecting this? Who am I kidding."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Kagome walked and walked to a destination she didn't know herself. She was in the forest and she could hear waterfalls.
"Didn't Naruto say he was at a waterfall?" She walked through bushes and trees that her blocking her way to the waterfall. When she pulled back a branch, she saw Naruto there in the water. He was had his eyes closed. She quietly walked a little closer to him She thought he was gorgeous! His hair was all wet. She could see only the top half of his chest. Even from that angle she was in, it was a sight indeed.
"God! He's so hot!" She had never experience anything this drastic. She was really just a regular high school student. She had never had a boyfriend before. She was only in the 10th grade! Many girls would kill for her position right now. There before her was like the hottest thing that walked on the face of this earth. And what is she doing, just staring at him like a idiot.
Naruto noticed he was being watched. He opened his to see Kagome staring at him. He smiled and he saw her smile and blush. God how he loved that. He would say that hundreds of times in his mind. Here she was, looking as cute as she was.
"Well,well Kagome. I knew you would come. Care to join me?" He swam to the bank and looked into her brown eyes.
"Umm I can't...I gotta help...out Kaede.Yeah so I'll see you later." She hurried and ran back to the village. Naruto just chuckled at her antics. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately. He had known her only a day. Things will only get interesting from here on out.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
THE NEXT DAY
Kagome was the first one up. She decided to find her way to the well she fell in. She walked out of the hut and went towards the forest. After a few miniutes,she got lost. She tried to find her way back to the village. But all there was,was trees everywhere.
"Kagome! Kagome! She must have wandered off." said Kaede. She went inside the hut. Naruto was eating his breakfast. Naruto looked up when she came in.
"Any luck finding her?"
"Ne, she must have wander off. Ye need to find her before she runs into danger." Naruto put his bowl down.
"Alright." He ran out of the hut. He sniffed the air. She went to the east, towards the forest.
"Oh no. She went in there. There's bandits beyond that forest!"
Kagome was panting. She was becoming scared. She had a feeling that she was being watched. She hurried into a clearing. She saw the well she came out of.
"There. That's the well I cam out of!" Then all of a sudden, three men came out of nowhere. Kagome was scared out of head. They grabbed her and covered her mouth so she wouldn't make a sound. They brought to this rundown hut. Inside were ripped up sheets and had a mess everywhere. They slammed Kagome on the floor,holding her head down.
"Ow" Yelled Kagome. one of the bandits said,
"Hey boss,we caught the girl like you said we should!" The other bandit said,
"Hehe,her kimono is shorter than mine.You gon catch cold if you walking around here half-dressed." The bandit fiddled with her green skirt. Kagome gasped.
"Don't do that! It'll ripped!" She exclaimed as she stood up holding her skirt down. The boss of the trio finally spoke up.
"Hand over the jewel, right now." He said from the shadows. He got up towards her. He was like a giant! Like 8''0 tall! He slurred his way over to her. He unsheathed his sword as two of the bandits held Kagome in place.
"Hey!Let go!"
"Stop squirming!" The boss cut off the bandit that was holding Kagome arms off. Everyone backed off from the huge man. He came closer and swung his sword again only getting air. Everyone moved to the left.
"Boss!Boss! Where you aiming at? She's the one you're after." The boss swung again towards them. He sliced the statue in half.
"Wait!Wait! Can't you tell there is something wrong with your boss? Now get your butts in gear or next it'll be you two. Do I have to tell you everything" They ducked when the sword was inches from their heads. Kagome ran underneath the boss's legs.
"Here I am. In Feudal Japan. Playing duck-duck goose with an 8 foot troll!"
The giant continued to slash everything in sight. He sealed the entrance shut.
"He's after the jewel! I wish I didn't have it!" She did the only thing she could do to save everyone's life. She threw the jewel outside!
"The jewel! Give it to me!" Kagome looked around to get a plan on. Then she got it.
"You two. The wall! Push it out,all at once!" The two bandits tries to push out but failed.
"Sorry boss no good!"
"What did you just...I'm not your boss" The giant came hovering over Kagome. There was no way out. He got ready to swing. Kagome closed her eyes,praying for a miracle to happen.He was swung his sword at her. Then, there was a crash, and blood splattered. When opened her eyes she could see the yellow hair. She knew it had to Naruto. Also, she saw blood on her shirt. It wasn't her blood so it had to be...
Naruto held up his arm to block the blow for Kagome's head. The sword had been tore most of his skin off and the bone could been seen. He took his other arm and punched the giant in the stomache. He leaned forward and Naruto gave him an uppercut. The giant was in the air and came crashing down. The sword was still in Naruto's bone. He got the handle of the sword and pulled it out.
"Dammit..Aaaa!" Kagome got in front of him and saw his injury.
"Naruto!" Naruto opened his eyes. Behind Kagome was the giant getting up. He moved her behind him. She held on to his shoulder.
"Ewww...What is that smell? It smells like rotten meat." In the hole of the giant, there was a bird demon inside.
"Ew.What's is that?"
"That bird ripped out his heart and made itself a bloody nest. They ain't so tough,but they're HELLA NASTY!" Naruto said as he punched the bird out of the giant's body. The body turned into bones.
"Aaaah" screamed Naruto in pain. Kagome went over to him.
"Naruto are you alright?"
"Nevermind me. Where's the jewel?"
"The jewel?"
"Oh no. Don't tell me that." Naruto went outside to see the bird had it in its mouth.
"That stupid crow is making off with the jewel." Naruto grabbed Kagome.
"Let's go Kagome."
"Hey!" Naruto stopped when he saw bow and arrows. He thought it was a good idea to fire arrows at the bird.
He carried her on his back. He was jumping high.
"Kagome you have to shoot the arrow."
"I've never shot anything in my life."
"Come on Kagome,I really need your help."
"Fine,I'll try." She put the arrow in the bow and held it back tightly. When she released, it hit her target. There was a bright light. and glow of the Shikon jewel could be seen.
"That light where is it coming from." There were strings of light going in all directions. Like little shooting stars. Naruto looked up and said,
"Umm I think you broke the jewel."
"Me too." And she rested her head on his shoulder. She felt like a real idiot. First wandering off, then getting Naruto hurt,and now she breaks the jewel. How can this day get any better.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I'm such an idiot!" Kagome exclaimed as she looked at a shard of the jewel.
"As ye saw, the jewel has been scattered in many different pieces. 100,1000,who knows. All I know is it only needs one to have in the wrong hands that will bring disaster."
"I'm so sorry, I had no idea."
"Kagome,only by working together with Naruto will ye be able to recover the Shards of the jewel."
"Naruto?" She looked over to him. He was sleeping. After they got back, he just collapsed. Kaede wrapped his arm while he was sleeping. She knew it was her fault he got hurt. What if there is another time he got hurt because of her. Kaede saw this and said,
"Don't worry about Naruto. He is very different from other people. His heart is so pure just as ye." Kagome looked at her.
"But how. I know of the demons. But how is Naruto able to do what he does. Isn't he human?"
"It is not my place to tell ye his story. I will leave that decision for him to tell ye." Kagome looked in her lap and sighed.
"Alright. Do you think he will tell me?"
"I have a feeling he will tell ye when the time is right. It's a personal thing that he really doesn't want to remember. Although ye see him happy and laughing, he is hurting inside. I believe that ye have the ability to cure him of his ordeal. Help him see the light again."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
THE NEXT DAY
Kagome woke up from her deep sleep. It was uncomfortable sleeping on a wood floor. She sat up and yawned. She looked around to find Naruto taking off the bandages that were on his forearm. She sprong up and said,
"Naruto! You can't take that off! You're still hurt!" Naruto jumped at the sound of voice. He'd thought that she would have been dead sleep. He calmed down and looked towards her.
"Don't worry Kagome. I'm all healed up now. See!" Naruto showed her his healed arm. It was a miracle she thought! She observed his arm and saw it had no scratches or nothing on it. Just skin.
"How did he heal so quickly in one day?"
"Well...uh.. I heal faster than most humans. That's all I can tell you for right now."
"Ok." Kagome sighed.
"I can't believe it's been three days since I've been home. They must be worried about me." Kagome buried her head in her hands. Naruto saw this and came up with an idea.
"Hey! Why don't I take you to the well and you could visit your family. They at least need to know the situation you're in. If they don't want you to stay here, then it's fine Kagome." Kagome lifted her head.
"But if they do say no, what about the jewel? Kaede said I was the only one who could sense it. And besides what about you?"
"Huh what do you mean?" Kagome quickly looked back down. She hid her blush from Naruto. How stupid of her to ask him a question like that.
"Don't worry about it. Let's go!" Naruto got up and dragged Kagome out of the hut. Once they were outside, Naruto picked Kagome up bridal style. She blushed once more. Just like the time he caught her in the air. She thought he was like a god. She felt comfortable in his arms. All she could hear was the wind as Naruto sped his way towards The Inuyasha Forest.About 5 minutes later, they arrived at their destination. Naruto stopped in front of the well. He sat Kagome on the ground. He looked down the well and frowned.
"So this is where you live? In a well? I don't see how you live here. Owww!!!" Kagome had swat him in the back of the head. She gave him an angry glare.
"Of course I don't live IN the well! The well takes me TO my home STUPID!"
"Well SORRY! Don't get your panties in a bunch." He grabbed her and jumped in the well. There was a purple light and then nothing. Naruto landed softly on his feet. It became dark all of a sudden. He could hear two people talking from above. Then he saw a light shining down the well. Kagome looked up towards the light. She got teary-eyed.
"Grandpa! Souta!"

Kagome was in her room blowdrying her hair. While she was doing that,her mother was talking to her grandpa.
"Don't tell me you believe her story?" She asked the old man. He was drinking his tea. He sat the cup down. Then Souta piped up.
"But it is true! Kagome fell down the well and a monster kidnapped her!"
"There is a certain legend of the Bones Eater Well. Since ancient days, whatever is inside consumed the corpses of monsters. But what if the continue of time space itself is disrupted." Naruto who had been quiet the whole time here spoke up.
"Yea,well Kagome's story is true. You're forgetting I'm from that time." Souta went over to him. He beamed up at him.
"Hey you saved my sister right? You must be really strong?"
"I guess you could say that." Kagome's mom turned towards him. She got up and bowed.
"You saved my daughters life, and for that I thank you." Naruto wasn't used to having people thank him a lot.
"Please,it was my pleasure. Besides Kagome's a strong-hearted girl."

Naruto walked into Kagome's room. She was reading something. Obviously, she didn't hear him coming in. He walked over to her and asked,
"What are you reading?" Kagome looked up at him. She closed the book. She sat up on the bed.
"I was reviewing for a test tomorrow. I have to go to school. I've missed too many days."
"You should be getting some sleep anyway."
"I have to thank you for bringing me home."
"It seems a lot of people are thanking me all of a sudden."
"You should be thanked every chance you get. You're a good friend." Kagome rested her hand on his shoulder. He smiled at her.
"You consider me as a friend?"
"Yea,I do." Naruto put a hand over her hand on his shoulder. He squeezed it a little to let her know that he appreciated her. They both smiled at each other. Naruto got closer to her face. He could feel the breaths she was taking. She could she the warmth in his eyes. Maybe he was finally happy. Naruto edged his way over to her ear and whispered,
"Kagome? This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!"
