DISCLAIMER: I think its fairly obvious that I don't own Inuyasha or Naruto.
"I HATE YOU!" the last words she had said
The girl was pulled back into reality by a loud slam on the desk in front of her, then she looked up at Kiba, who had just broken her out of her musings and then turned to Naruto, who attempted to sound like an astronaut cupping his hands over his mouth saying "testing, one, two, three, testing, one, two, three. Earth to space cadet Kagome, do you read me?"
Kagome gave Naruto a mild playful glare "very funny Naruto-kun, ha ha, hilarious" she said as she looked up at Kiba, who had been the one to slam his hands on her desk, knocking her out of her memories.
"Well I thought so." Naruto replied "it's not like you to just space out like that."
"yeah seriously Kagome-chan, where'd you go?" Kiba asked, putting more weight on his hands in order to lean on her desk.
"to another dimension where I battle demons, live on the edge, and gather pieces of an ancient, powerful artifact I accidentally broke." She said monotonously, there for making her reply simply sound sarcastic, Rather than honest like it was.
Kiba and Naruto laughed at her reply and she heard a small giggle and looked to see a young blushing girl with eyes that that held irises so lightly colored that they were almost white and short, dark purple hair. Kagome jumped from her seat, picked up the girl and began spinning around "HINATA –CHAN, you're so cute, you're so cute, you're so cute, you're so cute, you're so cute…!" and this happened to go on for a few minutes, Naruto and Kiba honestly did feel sorry for the poor girl but this happened almost every time she saw the Hyuga girl. They snickered at Kagome's behavior, while Hinata's eyes became swirly.
"Kagome-chan, you over did it again" Kiba said nonchalant.
Kagome, finally done showing Hinata her deadly affection, set the girl down, only for her to stumble and nearly fall over and Kagome noticed that she had once again been a bit too affectionate, if Hinatas dizziness and possible nausea (if one were to assume with the pallor of her usually blushing face) were anything to go by.
She grabbed Hinata in a gentle embrace "I'm sorry, Hinata-chan, you're just so cute I couldn't help myself."
"i-it's o-o-okay K-Kagome-chan" Hinata stuttered out in a rather uneven and wobbly voice, indicating how dizzy she was.
Naruto and Kiba were not at all surprised. This also happened all the time. She picks Hinata up spins her around till she gets dizzy and sets her down, only for the girl to nearly fall over and every once in a while get sick.
Hinata didn't necessarily like being picked up and spun around until she's dizzy to the point that she has trouble standing but it was nice to know that someone thought she was so cute it gave her that much more confidence in herself, though that still leaves her very timid, shy and uncertain.
Sasuke looked up to the rather loud group, were they always this loud without him noticing or is this a first? he glanced up to the front of the class room to look at Iruka and he didn't seem fazed in the least ,he simply looked at the loud trio, plus a muted fourth party with a slightly pleased look, never a dull moment with the four of them together, other than when class was actually in session, that's when Kagome shut the boys up.
for such a sweet, cheerful, and cute girl she could certainly scare anyone out of their wits. Even to him she was slightly intimidating and he just had to wonder at times what she would be like when she got older, The thought gave him chills…
"Iruka sensei? Are they usually that loud?" Sasuke questioned him, Iruka looked slightly shocked at the Uchiha boy, being that he usually takes no interest in others.
"Well, yes, is there a particular reason why you ask?" Iruka questioned
Sasuke sighed "I guess I just never noticed before." Sasuke answered and left it at that
Iruka could remember when Kagome first entered the class, she made fast friends with Naruto, Kiba and Hinata.
-Flash back-
Iruka had just finished explaining the basics of finding the weak point in a genjutsu, when a knock came at the door.
when Iruka answered the door he was greeted with the sight of a little girl, who stood there silently and handed him an application for the academy.
"okay… he said skimming through it and then introducing her to the class, having found her name on the application "class this is Kagome Higurashi she's a new student and I'm sure you'll all make her feel welcome" he looked back down at the little girl and found her staring at Naruto with an odd look one that you don't usually find on the face of a child like her
"pick any open seat you like." He told Kagome with a smile
Kagome looked back at him and gave him a big grin "okay." He watched as she flounced to the back of the class room and took the seat right next to Naruto and he could tell that those two were going to be fast friends, if the smile she was giving the boy was any indication.
-End flashback-
And then for some reason Kiba and Kagome were just drawn together, Kagome defiantly had a way with dogs and Kagome found Hinata extremely cute and it hadn't taken long for Hinata to warm up to her. Kagome knew how to make friends and it hadn't taken long to figure out she likes loud and energetic people and had a soft spot for cute things and Hinatas sweet, shy and quiet personality was extremely cute in Kagomes opinion, so she mainly hung out with Naruto, Hinata and Kiba.
Iruka was yanked out of his thoughts by a growl, that no doubt came from Kiba he looked up and saw him glaring at a couple of girls, Iruka sighed, the boy was never going to let that go was he? While Kibas protectiveness for Kagome and Hinata was admirable, but sometimes it got a bit out of hand.
Iruka turned to see Naruto glaring just as hard at the girls. Naruto could be just as bad as Kiba. Iruka sighed, truly never a single dull moment with those four but that wasn't always necessarily a good thing. he knew the boys wouldn't attack unless provoked but still… the hostility they were giving off was chilling, especially for children.
Sasuke was simply confused, he didn't understand why the boys seemed to show so much anger towards those girls.
"What?" one of the girls asked glaring at the boys that were glaring at them.
"nothing, just hate you." Naruto said with a sneer.
"more like loathing really." Kiba added.
"more than you could imagine." Naruto glared harder.
"Kiba, Naruto, enough." Kagome said in a firm and exasperated voice.
"but Kagome…" they both began.
"no buts" she gave them a firm look "they have done nothing to warrant such animosity and hostility from you two"
Iruka had to wonder about Kagome sometimes, using words like that, accompanied by her expression was just a bit odd coming from such a young child
"yeah you heard her dog boy, we haven't done anything wrong, so be a good doggy and heel" the girl said
"bull shit you haven't!" Kiba snarled
Hinata cringed at Kiba's tone, while Kagome simply rolled her eyes "oh boy"
"what?!" Naruto turned to Kagome, he agreed entirely with Kiba "have you forgotten we were there too?"
"no I haven't forgotten, I just don't feel its that big of a deal." Kagome said and Hinata timidly nodded.
"are you kidding me?!" Naruto exclaimed dramatically
Sasuke couldn't help but stare at the sight before him. what was this all about? he had to admit while this was interesting and all, he was getting annoyed by the two loud boys "you two are so annoying! What ever it was couldn't have been that bad."
the girls ,who had previously been at risk of Naruto and Kiba setting them on fire with their 'super glares of doom', turned to look at the Uchiha with hearts in their eyes "Sasuke-kun…" they swooned and he knew what they were thinking what they were all thinking but before he could say anything Naruto began to scream "What!? You've got to be kidding!"
"Naruto!" Kagome called in a stern voice "Sasuke wasn't there, he wouldn't know so just leave him alone will you?" Kagome sighed.
"well he's just making assumptions about what happened, honestly Kagome, he needs to learn that making stupid assumptions like that will only get him killed someday."Naruto said proudly though he had learned that from Kagome.
Kiba said not even bothering to hide his rage as he turned back to the girls and gave them a look that would have sent them screaming if Iruka hadn't interfered "enough, I will not have fighting polluting the peaceful environment of my class room!" they were usually good kids… well besides Naruto and sometimes Kiba.
"If you want a peaceful environment then getting rid of these girls would do the trick! They were the ones who just randomly went after Hinata-chan and Kagome-chan for no real reason!" Kiba exclaimed
Iruka knew the event they were talking about but it truly was a long time ago that this occurred, well at least for them, two years is a long time for kids. "it was a long time ago can't you just let it go?"
"A long time ago?" Kiba questioned throwing another glare at the girls "Kagome and Hinata are my friends! I don't care how long ago it was they need to know that the only thing that keeps them safe from me is Kagome and Hinata's WAY too forgiving nature otherwise they would have paid for it by now!" he ended in a yell and his posture became very aggressive Kagome had always been very forgiving he actually liked that about her but still…
Iruka understood that the Inuzukas took after their canine partners and he knew dogs had very strong instincts to protect those they consider important them but honestly…
"Kiba Iruka sensei is right it was a long time ago…" Kagome trailed at the look on his face
"I already said I don't care how long ago it was they are like demons in a human disguise!"
"You're so troublesome." they all heard from the back of the class room and there sat a slouching Shikamaru.
"shut it Shikamaru! We're talking about those prissy little preps ganging up on Kagome-chan and Hinata-chan!" Naruto yelled.
Oh yeah Shikamaru remembered the incident he honestly didn't blame them for holding a grudge even he was still slightly peeved at those girls for their stupid assumptions and poor reactions to such… but he had let it go, was it really worth all this? To hold so much contempt for so long? It honestly just seemed too troublesome in his opinion, he sighed "you're still dwelling on that?" he honestly didn't need an answer to that because the answer was obvious, but he got one any way.
"you expect me to just forgive and forget, no way!" Naruto screamed like the kid he was.
"It seems rather obvious that Kagome-san and Hinata-san have." Sasuke drawled
"can it! you stupid bastard, you-" Naruto was cut off by a blow to the back of his head.
"Naruto-kun! Language!" Kagome scolded.
"what? I was just calling him what he was, Kagome –chan" he whined to said girl while holing the bump on the back of his head.
"why not just tell him the story to help him understand better?" Shikamaru questioned
The bell for class to start rang "maybe, at lunch time." Kagome said turning to Iruka at the front of the class room
Her mind immediately tuned the instructor out.
Flash Back
"how can you just leave all the time? Huh?" Kagome heard from behind her
"What do you mean? We've gone over this"
"KAGOME IT's ALMOST AS IF YOU DON'T CARE- MY BROTHER IS BEING HELD UNDER CONTROL BY NARAKU AND YOU JUST DON-" the young woman found herself smacked
"how dare you…" Kagome said lowly and dangerously while glaring at the girl.
"how DARE you! YOU KNOW I CARE ABOUT KOHAKU! HOW CAN YOU EVEN SAY THAT!THE FACT THAT I EVEN COME BACK PROVES THAT I CARE! WHILE IF IT WERE ANOTHER GIRL IN MY SHOES THEY WOULDN'T EVER COME BACK AT ALL!" Kagome was furious within seconds
"I know if you were in my shoes you wouldn't. You'd go back home and just protect your family from the world! Do you have any idea how much I want to do just that!?"she said giving Sango a look the woman had never seen on the younger girls face before.
"but look here I am in the feudal era worrying my family and being worried about them not knowing whether they're safe or not and knowing they're alive and not even able to see them!" Kagome was beginning to cry.
"knowing if you were in my situation you would just forget this whole mess with Naraku and stay with your family and never come back and your telling me I'm selfish for taking two day out of the four weeks straight I spend with you guys to go see my family when yours is the reason you want me to stay and NEVE EVER, EVER SEE MY OWN! SANGO NONE OF YOU HAVE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT ME AND MY FEELINGS WHEN ALL I'VE BEEN DOING IS TRYING TO TAKE YOURS INTO ACCOUNT! SANGO I…" she was so angry the didn't even think before she said it
"I HATE YOU!" Kagome screamed at the demon slayer while crying and ran to the well and simply jumped in.
End Flash Back
Kagome sighed at the memory 'Sango those were the last words I ever said to you and I only wish I could take them back.'
Kagome shook off her reverie and wanted to smack herself knew she was going to get interrogated later because for some reason Hinata, Kiba and Naruto always know when she's upset and at the very least Naruto won't leave it alone and it doubtful that Kiba would, although it can be annoying, it was nice to have someone care so much… about how she feels.
