"Now why don't we get onto serious matters?" Kakashi asked. Kagome's eye twitched. "You're the one that called this meeting, yet you're the only one LATE!" Sakura yelled.

"He was probably reading one of those pervy books of his... he's a closet perv..." Kagome stated matter-of-factly. Kakashi immediately rose to defend himself. "Now, wait a moment..."

Sakura nodded. "Yeah, definitely a closet perv..." Kagome grinned. "So, what is this all about?" Kakashi sighed. "Because you are not from the Leaf Village... you cannot take the Chunin Exams on a Leaf Village squad. Therefore..."

Kagome's eyes widened, "But Kakashi-sensei! They can't just forbid me to take the Chunin Exams because..."

"Let me finish, Kagome." Kakashi sighed. "Therefore, you will be transferred to a Fire squad." Kagome's eyes widened. "Which one?" She asked.

"Squad Four of the Heat Village. Your teammates are Inuyasha Nagata, Bankotsu Yamamoto, Hakudoshi Onigumo." Kagome perked up immediately. "Yashi, Banky, and Haku!"

Kakashi sweat dropped. "But isn't Sesshy the captain?" Kakashi sighed. "I don't know who you are talking about, but the captain's name is Sesshomaru."

"But ... I thought they had replaced me by now..."

Kakashi nodded. "But she isn't ready to take part in the exams. Her name is Kaguya Onigumo."

"There's quite a few of them now, aren't there? Naraku, Onigumo, Byakuya, Kanna, Hakudoshi, Kagura, Kaguya, Muso, Juuroumaru and Kageromaru... the twins." She explained to a wide-eyed Kakashi.

"10 kids..."

"They loved each other very much..." Kagome said grinning. Kakashi nodded slowly. "Onigumo Onigumo?...seems kinda..."

"He has his mother's maiden name. Naraku... yeah they were running out of choices..." She laughed.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "What's this about?" Kagome grinned. "Hama and Hachi love each other like crazy! That's what we're talking about... Anyway when do I get to see them?"

Kakashi chuckled. "They will be here any moment..." He murmured just as two men walked over to them confidently. "Haku! Banky!" Kagome squealed running to hug them. "Kagome..." One sighed tiredly.

He was a relatively handsome young man. Long silver hair that looked lavender in the right light and eyes to match reflected off his hiori and hamaka which were a pristine white. The silver was distorted much like his normally calm expression. His choice of footwear was of course blue sandals. "How many times must I warn you to stop calling me 'Haku'?"

"Yeah!" The other said, grinning. His tan face shone with childishness and he had a long black braid that reached his lower back. He also wore a royal blue and white hiori and pure white hamakas his silver and royal blue armor was held up by a crimson red sash. (1)

But the most noticeable thing about him was a large weapon on his back, the blade covered by a purple sheath, and the purple cross on his forehead. (2)

"You're ruining my reputation; 'Banky' isn't a manly name at all! I'm Bankotsu!" He put an arm around her waist. "And you're mine!" He started laughing manically.

"Oi, wench!" another voice yelled. "Where is Kagome!"

"Are you blind Inuyasha? Or are you just retarded?" Kagome grinned, but smacked Bankotsu for the comment never the less. He looked just as she had remembered him; silvery hair and strange dog ears on his head. Curious golden eyes, and he wore a special rob of the fire rat their mother had given him when he was young. He'd had it tailored every year so he would never have to take it off. He walked barefoot, saying sandals only slowed him down.

His current expression was comical; bulging golden eyes, gaping mouth, priceless. "k k Kagome?" He then glared at Bankotsu.

"Damn it! Get your damn hand off my sister!" He lunged at Bankotsu who quickly dodged. "Huh, you're so pathetic it's hard to believe you're the older brother of Kagome."

"Shut it, Bankotsu!" Inuyasha hissed. "Calm yourselves." Kagome interrupted coldly.

Both boys froze. "... Kagome you haven't gone Sesshomaru-sama on us again have you..." Bankotsu whispered, freaked out. "Someone has to be the bitch..." Inuyasha growled.

"Thought Hakudoshi does a nice job of that already..."

"Quiet, you stupid dog."

"Haku..." Kagome warned. "You're right. Forgive me, Lady Kagome. Lord Inuyasha is but a puppy. No dog would act so incompetent."

"Why, you!" Inuyasha growled. "Sit, Inuyasha." Immediately his nose was in the dirt. "Thank heavens I asked Kikyo if she'd give me that rosary..." Bankotsu was grinning like a madman, which he was...

"Well, well! Didn't Yasha say he was going to get that rosary off before we came here?"

"Keh, Shut up." Inuyasha growled sulkily as he got up.

Kagome chuckled. "Yashi!" She squealed hugging him. "Yeah, yeah. How ya been, kid?" Kagome glowed, causing Inuyasha to take a step back.

"Great! I've made so many friends. There is Naruto and Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei and ..."

"Hold on; you actually made friends!" Bankotsu said with wide eyes. "But doesn't everyone like hate you?"

Kagome's grin faded. "That's in our village, you idiot!" Inuyasha growled before turning back to the now quiet girl.

"Go on, Gome. Who else?" He asked gently, causing Kagome to beam at him. "Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Hinata and Shino! Naruto's my best friend though and I think Sakura's starting to like me, but I'm not sure because she likes Sasuke and thinks I'll st..."

"Kagome!"

"Yeah?"

"Breathe!" Kagome nodded taking a deep breath.

Sakura smiled slightly. "I like you... I mean you're okay I guess..." Kagome's eyes widened girlishly. "Really?" Sakura nodded.

"Well, that's good because I thought you were angry about me sticking up for Naruto. Oh well! It's in the past now. So, how have you been Yasha?"

Inuyasha smirked. "Well, I've gotten a lot stronger. How about you, Kagome? Have you gotten stronger?" Kagome blushed.

"The Hokage... he's been training me... for about a month now..."

Inuyasha grinned. "That's my sister! Ya hear that, Bankotsu! The Hokage's training her! I bet the Hokage wouldn't ever even consider training me!" He said warmly.

Kagome blushed modestly. "Ya...sh..a"

"Why don't we go train together? Just you and me?"

"Really!" She quickly turned to squad 7. "I'm afraid I'll be leaving!" She ran towards the training fields.

"Come on, Yasha! Last one there loses their dignity!" Bankotsu smirked. "Oh, I've got to see this!" He mumbled, watching as Inuyasha ran after her. Hakudoshi nodded in silent agreement.

Getting To The Third Floor

00o00o00o00o_o0oo0oo0oo0oo_Good Intentions _00o00o00o00o_o0oo0oo0oo0oo

Kagome, Inuyasha, Bankotsu, and Hakudoshi stopped outside the door when they saw some other Genin getting beat up. Kagome snorted when she watched Squad 7 butt in. "Let's go help." She growled.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size... Jonins?" Kagome said softly as she approached them. "No offense, but maybe next time you should use a better genjustsu." The two stared at her in shock before morphing into older versions of the kids.

They smirked at her. "So, we do have someone worthwhile joining the Chunins." They said getting into fighting stances.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Oh please! Don't even try challenge me, I don't have the time to waste playing with you right now..." She snapped her fingers and the sign that said '301' turned to '201'

"Pathetic." She murmured. Sasuke smirked, watching the Jonins seeth. "Why you little..."

"Who are you?" A boy with colorless eyes asked. He also wore a tan short sleeve shirt and dark grey shorts. Gauze wrapped around his leg to keep his ninja pack in place and of course his blue sandals.

She stared at him a moment before. "A Hyuga huh? Well I'm Kagome Nagata." She answered with a friendly smile.

"Assuming you're strong and seeing you're male... you're Neji Hyuga aren't you? The Rookie to beat last year. But you want to know something?"

She leaned in close "...watch your back. There is a new genin to beat. Gaara of the Sand. Careful Neji, I wouldn't want to fight him in the final rounds if I were you."

With that, she and her fire colleagues walked through the doorway.

With the Squad Leaders

With 00o00o00o00o_o0oo0oo0oo0oo_Good Intentions _00o00o00o00o_o0oo0oo0oo0oo

The squad leaders were told to wait in front of the room that held their squads to give a final goodbye.

They had started disappearing as early as nine in the morning and now it was down to just three. Sesshomaru, Kakashi... and Gai. Sesshomaru had long silver hair that reached the bottom of his feet and he wore a white hiori and hamaka.

The sleeves of the Hiori had red sakura blossoms and there were hexagonal patterns on the right side by his neck.

He also had a ... tail over his shoulder that trailed behind him. While Sesshomaru appeared graceful and reserved Gai was... well Gai.

He had a short of just-chopped off haircut going all around his head, large black bushy eyebrows and a competitive smirk (Which he currently wasn't wearing) large black eyes and he wore a green leotard of sorts.

His green vest, symbolising that he was a Jonin, proudly displayed over his red headband that was used for a belt. Baggy yellow socks that went all the way to his knees and black sandals completed the look.

"I hear you trained Kagome before me." Kakashi said, finally breaking the silence. "Hn."

"She was quite skilled when I first met her... is it true that she became genin..."

"Yes. She had to re-graduate at the Leaf, as they couldn't believe she had mastered all techniques in so little time. They also wished to train her in their ways."

Kakashi nodded. "In your village, you have to master all techniques, but in ours you have to go through the academy for at least three years before you can graduate. It didn't help that they didn't trust Kagome, keeping her in for twice as long. I feel it holds students back. After all she did graduate at age 5. She would have gained much more experience if they had just kept her a Chunin."

Sesshomaru almost swelled with pride, but he could hold it in his emotions until he got back to his hotel room.

"I agree with Ka-ka-shi one hundred percent. If we just let them out when they were young, they'd be much better off, especially if they had the stubborn resolve like my Lee." Gai replied, flashing his signature smile.

"Sesshomaru-onii-chan!" A feminine voice screamed before arms wrapped around his waist from behind him. "I didn't... I hoped..."

Sesshomaru turned around and hugged her softly. "I know. I requested you to be put back on my team Imouto." He murmured.

"So, I'm really in!" Sesshomaru nodded, causing Kagome to grin. "Aniki is so cool!" She cried, unaware of the pained onyx eyes on her.

"Go on in now." Sesshomaru said gently pushing Kagome toward the dorm. "Good luck Imouto." Kagome nodded and gave a confident smirk. "I'll make you proud, just you wait and see!"

She walked into the room behind him with her head held high and her teams behind her (Squad Seven, Leaf. Squad Four, Fire).

The entire room was filled and everyone turned to stare at the newest competition, sizing them up. Inuyasha grinned. "Sup."

Kagome whacked him. "What is it with you and hitting!" Inuyasha said in an exasperated voice. "Abusive little... OW!" Kagome had kicked him in the sin and was currently squashing his foot. "Shut up, Yasha." She mumbled quietly.

She spied the sand ninja and that group of leaf that had beaten Sasuke up...

Kagome frowned when Neji looked at her. "Come on, Yasha." She murmured, noticing Squad 7 had left and was talking ...well Ino was on Sasuke's back.. .with little hearts in her eyes. Kagome walked over, "... he's mine!" Sakura finished.

Kagome gasped in fein hurt. "Sasky, haven't you told them about us yet?"

Kagome pouted. "I've been dating Sasuke for a year. Right, Sasuke?" Said boy smirked.

"Yeah. Go bother someone else."He added addressing Ino and Sakura who went over and began talking with Shikamaru.

"Well, well; looks like the 10 rookies are back together eh?" A snide voice commented. "KIBA!" Kagome cried, hugging him.

Kiba was relatively tall, taller than her by about 2 inches. He wore a gray coat with a black fur hood. His pants were a dark grey and the standard blue sandels.

His face was sharp like a canine's and he had a red triangle on each cheek. "How's my woman?" (3) You want a personality trait? He's possessive.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "How's my favorite puppy?"

"Well I've been..."

"I was referring to Akumaru!" She snapped as the puppy jumped down from his head and hopped into her arms.

"Woof!" Kagome giggled. "Hey, Akumaru! How have you been?"

"Woof! Woof! 'sniffle' Woof!" Kiba rolled his eyes. "He said I don't feed him enough..." Kagome's eyes widened. "Kiba have you been?.."

"NO!" He growled defensively. "My mom just has us training harder and it doesn't help she has us both on a diet." Akumaru started whimpering at the word, causing Kagome to giggle. "Poor Akumaru! How about I go on a diet with you huh?"

Kiba gasped in feign horror. "No way! Kagome, you don't eat enough as it is!" Kagome rolled her eyes in an offended manner when Akumaru barked in agreement.

"I eat what I want, when I want it!" Kagome growled. "Of course..."

"Who are you?" Hakudoshi asked crudely, interrupting their conversation.

"I'm Kiba Inuzuka..." He gestured to the two behind him. "My team. Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuga."

"Hakudoshi." He replied back stiffly. "Inuyasha Nagata."

"Bankotsu." Kagome took notice that everyone in the room was staring at them.

Her eyes sparkled when she saw Gaara and Neji's team standing right next to each other.

No one really noticed when she and her team walked off, after all a weird guy with silver hair, square glasses, and a purple and white outfit had just showed up.

"Why?" The silver head asked. "You got someone in mind?" Sasuke glanced over. "Yeah. Rock Lee, Gaara of the Sand, Hakudoshi Onigumo, Bankotsu Yamamoto, Inuyasha Nagata... and Kagome Nagata."

I luv niki4444

This chapter was beta read by Tune and Loke. Thank you, I suck at grammar especially -_- it's a proven fact... ;P

Sorry if you were expecting a longer chapter! I usually don't make chapters like the first one but don't worry I try to keep them relatively long. I also hope to have the next chapter or two out today so if you're reading this today keep an eye out for another update! XD I really appreicate all your votes they are a big help in my quest for the correct pairing (I'll eventually right a story for every one of them...)

(1) Yep people in Naruto are definately not suppose to wear armor... slows ninja down but let's just say he did have his armor..

(3) He's going to be a lot like Kouga... don't worry Kouga will still be in here! XD It'll take some time but I can't replace him easily with Kiba.

Ok so I'm narrowing down the choices a bit...

1. Gaara

2. Akatsuki

3. Sasuke

I know Sasuke only got one vote but believe me he's a very good pairing choice for the way this is headed. (I'm not gonna tell you that quite yet.) In fact him and the Akatsuki are probably better choices than Gaara, but I love Gaara to peices...

(Now I've got you curious as to what is to come XD) It's why I'm going to leave the voting on till I absolutely need the correct pairing, because with the way the story is headed you can't make an accurate choice just yet.

Also that's why I'm allowing you to vote once every chapter! (why am I doing that? I'm sure it'll cause problems... man this is such a drag...)

You can still vote for other people as her pairing but it'll just be harder for me to get it into the storyline. ( it won't seem as natural a choice..)

Anyway the main reason I'm letting you vote once every chapter is because if you've already voted and you're like " I shouldn't have chosen that .. dang it!" well now you can just say " I think it should be ..."

I still count your original vote but this way there's one more in the favor of your new Kag/pairing or you could vote the same one every time... I don't really care besides it wouldn't be fair if I just let the people who had changed their minds revote(why is everything so complicated with me...) But keep in mind in the end I'll still get my vote! XD Yay if there is a tie I get to decide... oh man that would be a bother...

Lastly! Sorry its taking you so long to read this! XD I'm sorry for the swearing that comes from Inuyasha and Bankotsu's mouths (Next chapter and a little this chapter.) It just seemed accurate from said characters... And tell me if I choose my quotes right please!

Ja Ne!
