Discalimer: I own nothing...

Chapter Two:


Fugaku watched as his new daughter and his wife chatted happily on the way home. He saw the way his son's eyes watched them warily. He honestly didn't blame the boy. He himself found it strange as well how quickly they developed a bond. Sasuke was due to be home soon so Mikoto was rushing them so she could make dinner.

Kagome walked elegantly, her footing just a little different, showing she had some kind of experience with fighting. Her feet never fully touched the ground. She walked mostly on her toes, showing that she knew some stealth. The way she walked, her movements precise showed she was more than capable to defend herself.

He wondered if this was a good or bad thing. He'd have her spar Sasuke later to see where her level of fighting was. He vaguely wondered how one could forget everything that related to her family but not forget anything that had to do with anyone or anything else. She was lively...talking animatedly with Mikoto. He wondered if she knew she was subconsciously taking in her surroundings, her eyes moving every which way when Mikoto wouldn't look.

She tensed when she heard something move around or when she saw someone look at her. She glared menacingly at any one that even looked at her remotely wrong. Fugaku smirked, she would be perfect in the Uchiha clan. She looked and acted much like an Uchiha. She wouldn't be a burden and if he played his cards right...he could have spiritual grand children, he thought, thinking of Sasuke.

Sasuke and her were closer to age...but Fugaku should know that nothing ever turns out the way it's supposed to. He should have known that when an Uchiha sees something it likes...the Uchiha usually gets it and Itachi just liked the way Kagome moved fluidly with a dancers steps. Itachi smirked...Kagome would eventually be his.

The group reached the main house and Mikoto rushed to the kitchen and began to make dinner. Fugaku excused himself and went to inform the Uchiha council of the new development. Mikoto called for Itachi to show Kagome to the guest room which would become Kagome's. Itachi did as he was told.

"Come." he told the young girl. Kagome followed the older boy, fascinated with they way he moved and talked. She observed him, silently appraising him. She liked his hair, it was long and looked very soft. She watched him walk in a dignified but collected manner. He was much taller than her she realized...she was very small, even for her age.

Itachi led her to a room that was are of all but a bed, a night stand, and lamp. Kagome looked around and nodded. She could make this room more homey if her new guardians allowed her to. Itachi watched as she adjusted the too large shirt and sighed. He dragged her off to Sasuke's room and sifted through the young boys clothing. He found white short and a black shirt with the Uchiha Fan on it. He tossed them to Kagome and she caught them effortlessly.

"Take those to your room and dress them." Kagome did as she was told and went to dress. She found Itachi outside her room when she left. The clothes fit her and he nodded, making a mental note to tell Father to get her tailored for some new clothes. "There is one other of this family, he s my younger brother and he is roughly your age. His name is Sasuke and he should be home soon. You can either wait for him, go with Mother to help her cook, or you can come with me to go and train. It's your choice."

He turned and began to walk off. He heard the quick but soft padding of her feet as she came up behind him. She grabbed his hand and Itachi, on reflex, stiffened. He wasn't an affectionate person and he wasn't used to people touching him considering the only contact he made with anyone was when he hit them. He decided that it was okay since she didn't know and he was sure that she wasn't weak like most.

He nodded his head. Kagome would be his if she proved herself strong. If she could not then he'd cut her hands from her body should she ever try and touch him again. He nodded and decided that was good plan. Kagome looked up at him, a smile on her features.

"I'll go with you, Itachi." she said softly. He nodded and then called to his mother, letting her know that they were leaving. Mikoto smiled to herself, glad they were getting along nicely already. As all mothers usually want their children to play nicely. She unfortunately did not know of what would come from this little trip and she may have stopped it if she did.

Itachi took Kagome deep into the forest where he trained and pulled her to his training spot. There were kunai markings all over trees, some in the ground, and even some in rocks. Kagome looked at Itachi he pulled them to a stop. He handed Kagome a kunai and pointed to a tree with a target.

"Hit the target." he told her. Kagome nodded and effortlessly tossed the kunai. It hit a bulls eye. Itachi looked down at her and handed her another one and told her to do the same thing. Kagome nodded and did it again. He gave her two kunai and told her to hit the target with both kunai.

Kagome did as instructed. Both hit the bulls eye. He gave her another two kunai and told her to hit the target after throwing them together. Kagome nodded her head and got the same results. Itachi looked at her and nodded. Yes, Kagome would be his and no one would tell him other wise or they would suffer the consequences.

"You did well." he told, ruffling her hair. Kagome's eyes brightened.

"I did?"

"Yes." he told her. "If you are going to be a part of this clan then you must train harder then the others because you do not have the same eyes as the others." Kagome nodded, not understanding the 'eye' part but nodded none the less. Kagome sighed, and looked at the member of her 'family'.

"I will do my best." she stated strongly. Itachi sent her a curt nod as thunder rumbled over head. Itachi cursed as the first drop of rain hit his nose. Kagome squealed, her blue eyes alight with happiness. Itachi went to grab her but she slapped his hands and began to play in the rain. "I love the rain!" she giggled. Itachi sighed and shook his head.

"You're going to become ill. Come here so we can go home." Itachi said sternly. Kagome nodded, though she was thoroughly soaked. Itachi pulled her into his arms and he leapt from tree to to tree until he reached home. Mikoto stood on the porch, tapping her foot, holding towels.

"Mikoto!" Kagome squealed. "I played in the rain until Itachi said to to come home!" Mikoto wrapped Kagome in a towel and sighed. It was lost cause so she took Kagome's shirt off followed by her shorts. She wrapped her in the fluffy towel.

"Really? That must have been fun." Kagome nodded her head. "One of the women in the clan has a girl a year older then her but she never got rid of the clothes that didn't fit her. She gave them to me. There is a bag on your bed so go and find some clothes that fit you." Kagome nodded and ran off to her room. Mikoto looked at Itachi. "You should have brought her home."

"She's stubborn." Itachi grunted, pulling off his shirt and ringing out his hair. He walked to his room and got dressed in new clothes. Mikoto sighed and picked up the wet clothing and smiled. She had a daughter.

Kagome sifted through a big bag and found a long white skirt that touched the ground and a yellow shirt. She slipped them on and dried out her hair. She left the room and ran into someone else. There were two small 'omphs' as two bodies hit the ground. The person she ran into groaned before sitting up.

"Watch it!" he yelled. Kagome's eyes flashed.

"You watch it!"

"Who are you? Why are you in my house?" the little boy growled.

"This is Mikoto's and Fugaku's and Itachi's house! Not yours!"

"I live here!" the boy yelled.

"What is all the fuss?" Mikoto asked, coming from the kitchen.

"She says I don't live here!" the little boy told Mikoto.

"Kagome...this is Sasuke. He is my son. Sasuke, this is Kagome and she will be living with us from now on." Mikoto introduced the two. Kagome blushed cutely and bowed her head slightly.

"I'm sorry." she told him. Sasuke blushed as well.

"I'm sorry too." he stated. Itachi watched the events transpire between the two with a critical eye. Was this good or bad? He wondered. Should they develop a bond? He nodded his head slightly. A friendship would be good for he thought to himself. Nothing more than friendship. Nothing. He saw Fugaku standing in the door way, his eyes planning something.

Their eyes met and Itachi gave his father a glare. Fugaku merely gave him an innocent look and entered the room. Sasuke smiled and waved hello to his father while Kagome hugged his pants leg. Itachi watched, tense if he had to go and grab Kagome. Fugaku was not an affectionate person but maybe he understood that girls are a little more open because instead of slapping her in the back of the head as he would have done with his sons, he gently ruffled her still wet hair. Kagome pulled away and stood beside Itachi, where for some reason, she was most comfortable.

"Dinner will be ready soon. Have a seat at the table." Mikoto told the family. Itachi led Kagome to the kitchen where there was a low table. Sasuke glanced at Kagome very few moments curiously. He silently wondered about the cute little girl. Kagome took a seat next to Itachi but Fugaku stopped her.

"Kagome...have a seat next to Sasuke." Kagome nodded but almost stopped when Itachi glared. She sat beside Sasuke. Mikoto came and set dinner and they began to eat silently, as was tradition in this Uchiha family. The only person that ever talked, and those times were rare, was Fugaku.

"Kagome. You will spar Sasuke after dinner today. Tomorrow you will be enrolled in our villages ninja academy. After dinner we will go to the Uchiha main dojo and there you will fight for the council and we will evaluate your skills. This is the rule of the council." he told her. Kagome nodded her head and continued to eat. After dinner, Fugaku, Sasuke, and Kagome stood to leave. Itachi followed, leaving Mikoto alone.

"Bye Mikoto!" Kagome called. Mikoto waved and stopped the family. She left and returned for some fighting clothing and a few umbrella's.

"Be safe!" Mikoto called as they walked away. It was short distance to the main dojo. When they came upon it, it was already filled with Uchiha council members and other families wanting to see the fight between the headsman's son and the new girl.

Kagome was sent to the bathroom to change into her clothing. She changed into a pair of black baggy pants and a white wife beater. She walked back to the dojo and went to where she saw Fugaku and Sasuke in the center of the arena. She stood beside them and faced a group of elderly people.

"Council members...I give you my son Sasuke Uchiha and my adopted daughter Kagome Uchiha." It was silent as he placed them on opposite ends of the dojo. "You will use only taijutsu." he stated and Kagome's eyes showed slight confusion but soon understood when the fight began. "Go!"

Sasuke ran at her quickly for such a small body and aimed a kick at her head. Kagome ducked and jumped back a few places. She vaguely wondered why she could fight. She didn't remember anyone teaching her. Sasuke aimed a punch for her stomach but she caught his fist and used her foot to kick him in the side. He caught her foot and so she used her free foot to kick him in the side of the head. He released her and Kagome landed on her hands and knees. She stood quickly and then...she was moving faster than Sasuke could keep up with.

First she was in front of him and then she was behind him. She kicked him and hit his side. She moved again and punched his cheek. She moved again and stopped mere inches from hitting him in the face. She back away, her blue eyes confused. It was clear who won. It was still silent when the council shifted slightly.

"Tell me...Kagome..." one of the older council members began, her voice rough. "...who taught you to fight?"

"I-I don't know." she said softly, looking at her hands and then at the bruise forming on Sasuke's cheek.

"You don't know or you don't remember?" rasped another.

"I don't remember." she stated. "I don't know. When I fought...I knew what to do as though it was placed in my head." she whispered. "I just know how to...like knowing how to breathe...it was just there."

She looked at the council, tears swimming in her blue eyes. What no one knew was when the jewel sent her to this new world...it sent her with a whole knew repitoire of fighting moves so she could survive in this world that was so vastly different then her own.

They did it so she could live.

Itachi looked at her...taking in all that she did. She would be in the academy for only a short amount of time from what he judged. She was smarter than most, she was faster than most, and she was just more than most. He looked at his brother and narrowed his eyes at him. He didn't have a chance in that fight. A small look of resentment crossed Sasuke's face as he stared at kagome and Itachi didn't like that.

It could cause conflict.
