The tanuki and the neko
Chapter one
The beginning
~~In suna~~
A girl was walking in the streets of Suna towards the Kazekage's Tower. This girl had basically a black version of Gaara's outfit on, without the gourd. She had raven hair that reached her mid-back, with piercing blue eyes. Her name was Kagome Higurashi, known for containing the two-tailed neko [cat] demon. She controls fire therefore it's her element. She also has a high chakra levels and excellent hearing and smell.
Just as she was about to enter into the tower she heard a rather loud "Kagome!" reach her ears.
It just so happened to be her teammate and bff, Miki Toshima. She was wearing her basic outfit of a black shirt that reached above her belly with a web shirt underneath it and black shorts that reached above her knees. She also had ice blue eyes and short hair covering her left eye that was black but not as dark as Kagome's. She also has a demon sealed within her. The three-tailed turtle demon that controls water and gave Miki super scent that surpasses the Inuzuka clan's.
"What's up Miki?" Kagome asked, worry evident in her voice.
"Oh nothing, just wondering what you are doing?"Miki said.
"Well I was going to see the Kazekage because he requested I see him immediately."
"Wow you are so lucky Kags!" she said with envy. You see, Miki and Kagome both like Gaara, who is Kazekage at that time.
"He may need us to go on a mission. Why don't you get Fluffy and Koga-sensei?" I said, trying to get her to do something, anything, so I can go see the Kazekage.
"OK! See you at my place after your talk with Gaara-Kun!" She said running off looking for the two individuals.
Kagome let out a sigh of relief as she finally got inside the Kazekage's Tower and was escorted by a fellow sand-nin to Gaara's office. She knocked on the door and heard a quiet "Enter", and did so.
She said in an honorable voice "You requested me Kazekage- Sama?" When she looked up from her bow, she saw Gaara, the same as ever with his attractive, turquoise eyes and wonderful, red hair. He was wearing his normal clothes [like in Naruto], but his sand gourd was on the side of the room. Although it was strange she didn't question it.
"Must you always call me 'the Kazekage' all the time?" Gaara questioned in his passive, wonderful voice that made Kagome shiver and add a dusting of red to her cheeks, which, although he wouldn't admit it, was very attractive.
"Yes, because that is your rank among us. The best of the best in the skill of being a ninja," she said, hoping the blush would be under control soon.
"Very well. Now, the reason I requested you is because we have visitors who need to be escorted to a hotel to stay while they're here," he said. Just then Kagome heard a cough on the other side of the room. She was surprised, and then noticed the other leaf-nins. Naruto Uzumaki in his normal orange jumpsuit, Kakashi wearing his usual outfit while reading "Icha Icha Paradise". Sakura Haruno in all her pink glory, and Sai, who she recently just met, with a fake smile on his childish face.
"Yes Kazekage-Sama. Anything else while I'm here?"
"No, that is all. You may leave now," Gaara said going back to some paperwork.
"Alright, let's get a move on people!" she said with a sigh, hoping her disappointment didn't show in her voice.
Out on the street heading towards the hotel, she saw everyone was unusually quiet. This is definitely weird for Naruto. She broke the silence asking "So how is everything in Konoha?"
"Everything is fine. Tsunade-baa-Chan is still drunk; Jiraiya came out with a new 'Icha Icha' book, and Sakura still hits me on the head!" Naruto said, only to receive a punch upside the head by none other than Sakura.
"Well here you are. I have to go to a teammate's house. See you later," Kagome said as she half walked half ran to Miki's house.
"Bye Kagome!" everyone said together then strolled in to the hotel.
Soon after that, Kagome was sitting in Miki's living room on her couch with Miki next to her. On the other side of the room sat two males.
"So Sesshomaru," Kagome said, to break the silence in the room, addressing a male not much older than themselves. He had silver hair that reached his knees, and yellow eyes that seemed to stare right through you. He wore his only outfit which was similar to Kankuro's except there is no hood and ears on "Fluffy's" outfit. He is basically human and has the element lightning.
"Yes Kags?" he said in a monotone voice with no emotion on his face.
"Sorry Miki brought you and Koga-Sensei here when we don't have a mission. I know you have better things to do than be here."
"Don't worry about it Kags, after all, I for one love to see you guys all the time!" a deep voice answered. The voice belongs to a tan adult named Koga-sensei, who had on brown long hair pulled back in a ponytail and green eyes. He wore brown wolf pelts on his chest and groin, showing off his six-pack, while everywhere else is covered in bandages. He, like Sesshomaru, is human, but has the element wind.
"Same here, and thanks for not calling me 'Fluffy'!" Sesshomaru said while leaning into the couch.
"You're welcome Fluffy!" Kagome said.
Everyone laughed except for Sesshomaru who, instead glared at Kagome.
"Ha ha, very funny," Sesshomaru said with a deadpan look. You could feel the sarcasm drip off every word.
"Sorry couldn't help myself!" Kagome said between laughs then she got serious all of a sudden. "Anyway we need to do a mission so we can get some money. I'm sure we are all running low on cash."
"So should we do a C-ranked or D-ranked mission?" Miki asked Koga-sensei, excitement on her face at the idea of a mission.
"How about a D-ranked mission, a fast and easy way to get money!" Koga-sensei said with so much that it would have put Gai to shame, had he been there.
"OK!" all three Chuunin said in unison.
Later at the Kazekage's tower in Gaara's office, everyone in team Jinjuriki was trying to find the perfect mission to do.
"We should walk dogs!" Sesshomaru said.
"What's up with you and dogs? We should pull weeds from local gardens!" Miki said.
"We should take care of the elderly!" Koga-sensei said.
"We should find lost cats!" Kagome said.
"Maybe you should just do laundry you freaks!" Temari said sporting her usual purple outfit with her fan on her back.
"Fine," everyone said, not entirely happy with the idea, but they should do something.
After an hour of laundry, they went back to get paid and all of a sudden, Kagome got a splitting headache.
~What are you doing Neko! ~ Kagome thought.
~It is not my fault if this is the only way to get your attention kitten! ~ Nibi said, loud and clear.
~What do you want Nibi! ~ Kagome thought with aggravation.
~ It is not my fault if Shukaku contacted me to tell you something, ~ Nibi said, trying not hiss.
~Very well, ~ Kagome said with submission, still walking with her head lowered in thought.
~ Finally. Ok, I heard Gaara likes you! ~ The neko demon said with excitement.
Kagome almost tripped over her own feet at the words that her inner demon spoke of. ~ You have to be joking! ~
~No! You can even talk to him if you want to! ~
~Do it now! ~ Kagome was so caught up in talking to Nibi, she did not notice that they had reached the Kazekage's Tower.
~ Fine, here he is, ~ the neko said going back to sleep.
~What do you want, Ka-go-me? ~ Shukaku said in his gravelly voice that makes Kagome shiver.
~ I want to know if what you said to Nibi is true? ~ She thought, begging to know.
~ Yes it is. He told me himself while doing paperwork, ~ He said with an heir of ignorance.
In that moment, she was brought out of her thoughts by a loud "Kagome!"
"Huh, YES!" Kagome said rather stupidly, while Fluffy snickered.
"I asked you to come with me?" Gaara spoke in his monotone voice. Somehow Kagome could see deep in his eyes that he was begging her to come with him.
"Okay, Kazekage," Kagome said, regaining her composure.
When everyone left, Gaara looked at her with lust filled eyes, "Shukaku told me that you liked me. Is that true?"
"Y-yes," Kagome said with a blush on her cheeks.
"Well me too," he said also with a blush that Kagome thought was cute. "Um…I heard people do this when they like each other," He said while leaning closer to Kagome.
"Do what?" Kagome asked, aware of Gaara coming closer.
"This…" he then closed the gap and kissed the unsuspecting girl on the lips. Kagome was shocked by the sudden contact. His lips were so warm that she was melting in his arms. What felt like forever only lasted about 10 seconds. When they broke apart for air the same thought went through their heads. ~That was amazing! ~
~About damn time too! ~Shukaku said in his annoying voice.
~I know what you mean, ~ Nibi said somewhat lazily.
~Will you shut up! ~ Both Jinjuuriki thought angrily at the same time.
"Well, that was… unexpected," Kagome said with a blush.
"So you didn't like it. Of course, I am inexperienced so…" Gaara was interrupted by a soft kiss by Kagome.
"I did like it and I am glad you opened up to me Gaara," Kagome said with a sweet smile.
Gaara then hugged Kagome lovingly and said in a soft tone, "You finally said my name."
"Did I?" Kagome said, while playfully punching him on the shoulder. "I will see you tomorrow!" She tossed over her shoulder, leaving.
"Ok. See you tomorrow, Kagome," Gaara said almost sadly. Little did he know that their relationship would change everything…
