Chapter 2:The New Official Members

((By the way, two of the names of the new characters are names from Inuyasha, don't ask me why haha. But here's my disclaimer I do not own Inuyasha either Thank you))

Naruto drooled at the sight of the girl's uncovered and soft face with shining grayish eyes, she had blue ringlets around each pupil and looked to be so beautiful. Sasuke did nothing, but on the inside, the shock was too much to bear. Sakura was ready to scream.

"Huh?" the girl said.

"Uhh… your cover." pointed Kakashi.

The girl panicked as she noticed that she was no longer considered a boy, but a girl.

I thought he… I mean she was HOT!!! What have I done!!!!!!?????,

Sakura thought.

Pretty…, thought Naruto.

. . . , thought Sasuke.

There was an awkward silence after. The girl didn't recover her face because there was no point. She already wore the leaf headband like Zabuza when she walked out. Her dark brown hair flew over it as one part of her bangs covered her right eye.

"Well then… I guess there is no more hiding then. This, every one, is Kagome Takai. She is the newest member to our team. She will be a great addition. Not only is she strong, but she has been training with me since she was 7." said Kakashi.

"Then why wasn't she here when squads were made?" asked Sakura.

"Well, she left after part of the exam. Falling behind, she needs extra training before she attempts to finish the exam." answered Kakashi.

Kagome was silent, she had no intention on talking to the group, let alone try to introduce her self or say hi. Kakashi then changed the subject and told every one that he would meet them tomorrow morning at 6:00 am. Naruto and Sasuke said nothing because they were still in shock. Sakura moaned and began to walk home. Sasuke and Naruto followed but then stopped when they heard someone yell.

"Kakashi!" shouted a woman's voice.

Kakashi and everyone else turned around to see a tall woman stand before them. She had long red hair and a cover like Kakashi's on her face. Basically, it was the woman from before.

"Hello… uhh Kagura." said Kakashi nervously.

"I've been looking everywhere for you. I was thinking that since Kagome was a new portion to your group, we could go out with the whole squad to the Ramen shop." Kagura said.

"Wow!" yelled Naruto.

"Umm… sensei, who is she? A friend?" asked Sakura.

"You could say that." said Kakashi. "Kagura, the squad can't today, they need rest for tomorrow. So does Kagome."

"There you go with excuses again. Fine. Let's go." said Kagura as she began to walk.

Kakashi looked nervous. Kagome followed Kagura without even saying goodbye to everyone. The whole squad was confused. Who was this woman, and what was she yelling at Kakashi for? Still curious, they all left to go home. Kakashi caught up with Kagura and Kagome and then went to a small home. Inside the entrance, there was a living room with a small futon on the ground.

"Home sweet Home." said Kagura.

"Why did you do that?" asked Kakashi.

"What do you mean?" asked Kagura.

"Showing up like that without warning."

"Kakashi, you're a joining, an elite ninja, we're supposed to be fine with surprises." said Kagura angrily.

"I'm gonna go get some water." said Kagome with a dark tone.

"I'll go make some tea." said Kakashi.

"Wait just a minute, Kakashi." said Kagura.

Kakashi stopped walking and turned around.

"Do you honestly think I am happy about this?" asked Kagura.

"About what?" asked Kakashi.

"You know exactly what I mean!" said Kagura.

"… Oh!" said Kakashi. "Well, I was meaning to tell them, but you know, the whole thing with Kagome and everything."

"Where do you get all of these excuses?" asked Kagura.

Both of them then went to the kitchen and joined Kagome for water and tea. The day ended fairly well.

Early that morning, Kagome awoke in the living room and dressed in the same outfit. She packed two kunai knives, five shuriken, and a water scroll in her black pocket pouch. She then walked into the kitchen to see Kakashi and Kagura eating breakfast.

"Morning." Kagura said as she handed Kagome a breakfast plate.

"You ready for today?" asked Kakashi.

"Would you like me to be honest?" asked Kagome.

"Sure." said Kakashi.

"Not really."

"Well, why not, Kagome-chan?" asked Kakashi in an annoying tone.

"I told you never to call me that." said Kagome angrily.

"Alright, alright you two!" said Kagura. "Kagome, just ignore him, he's an idiot."

"Sure, you're actually right." said Kagome.

"What did I ever do to you?" asked Kakashi.

"Too many things to mention." said Kagura. "Go, you're already late."

Kakashi and Kagome listened and began to walk out, but Kakashi was told to stay behind. Kagome left on her own.

"What is it, Kagura?" asked Kakashi.

"The Hokage told me to meet him today, he called last night."

"What would he ask you to see him for?"

"I don't know, but I may be home late if it is that important." said Kagura.

Kakashi nodded and then left after saying goodbye. He tried to catch up with Kagome, but she was already at the meeting spot for the class. Kakashi was then given angry looks from Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.

"Okay, well, today I decided to make a start of a few small training sessions before you guys have to go to the academy for a meeting in a few days." Kakashi said.

"Wait…" said Sakura, "Why do we need to go to the academy?"

"We need to see the other teachers." said Sasuke. "They are going to tell us about the exam."

"Oh, Sasuke, thank you." said Sakura, "you're so smart!"

Naruto sighed angrily. Kagome said and did nothing.

"Well, on that note, why don't we have Kagome show how much training she has done?" said Kakashi.

"What?" said Kagome in a somewhat surprised tone.

"Okay then, we'll have a sparing session. Kagome will fight each of you guys so she can show me if she has improved on hand to hand combat and jutsu."

Everyone stood silently in shock as they stared at Kagome. They didn't want to be rude, but Kagome was pretty mysterious as it was to them. They weren't sure of how strong she was.

"Why don't we start from Naruto?" said Kakashi.

"No way! I can't fight her!" said Naruto.

"Please stand ten feet away from each other and wait for my signal."

Kagome listened and stood at one end of the field. Naruto did the same, but stomped in anger. Kagome stared at her opponent and bowed in respect. Naruto copied.

"Okay, on my mark." said Kakashi.

Kagome held her hands in front of her in a fighting stance. Kakashi lifted his hand above his hand. Naruto went into his own fighting stance and they both waited.

"GO!" yelled Kakashi.

Kagome waited for Naruto to make the first move. Naruto didn't move.

"Wait! I can't… she…"

"Don't hesitate because I am a girl." said Kagome. "Make your move."

"But…"

Naruto stood for a few seconds. Sasuke and Sakura watched as they saw Naruto make an idiot of himself again. Kagome then sighed and waited for a little longer.

"Naruto, make the move." said Kakashi.

"Come on. We don't have all day." said Sasuke. "Loser."

Naruto made an angry face once Sasuke called him a loser. Kagome realized that he was close to his breaking point.

"Yeah… loser." said Kagome.

"rrrrrrrgggggg… I'm NOT A LOSER! BELIEVE IT!!!!!!" yelled Naruto.

"Well then… prove yourself." said Kagome.

Naruto yelled in anger as he ran towards Kagome with great speed. As he ran closer, Kagome prepared for her move. Naruto pulled out a Kunai and held it ready to strike. Kagome then disappeared without warning. Naruto, confused, looked to each side of him to look where his opponent went.

"Look behind you." someone whispered.

Naruto looked behind him and saw Kagome with a Kunai against his neck. Naruto was terrified. How did she get there so quick? Naruto then noticed that his Kunai was gone. Kagome stole it! She threw then knife aside and then grabbed the back of Naruto's jacket. With a great amount of pressure, Kagome placed a free palm of her hand against his back. Naruto stammered, but then quickly noticed that he was in the air. Without even the flick of her wrist, Kagome had enough strength push Naruto in the air! Flying fast, Naruto needed something to grab before he crashed. In front of him was a large tree with a touch branch. Naruto grabbed on and began to hang from above.

"Okay, Naruto seems to no longer be able to battle. The winner is Kagome." Kakashi said as he looked up.

Sasuke and Sakura were both surprised. The battle was exactly five minutes long. Kagome didn't even waste chakra or use any special technique. She just shoved him.

"Okay, Sakura, how about you?" asked Kakashi.

"Uhhh… well…" said Sakura.

"Okay then, step up." said Kakashi.

Kagome awaited her next opponent. Sakura didn't argue and walked to where she was to be. Standing nervously, Sakura waited for the call while she thought of how to fight.

Okay, Kagome is fast. That means I need to be faster and not stall like Naruto. I'll be left open if I don't move. I can do it! CHA!

"Okay… GO!" yelled Kakashi as he held out his book.

Sakura didn't hesitate, she ran right at Kagome before she could even take a breath. Five shuriken came towards Kagome. Jumping, Kagome escaped the weapons fast. Kagome then was right behind Sakura, same as Naruto. Sakura expected that and then jumped behind Kagome. Sakura clenched her fist and punched Kagome in the back. Kagome didn't even fall over, but grabbed onto Sakura's fist. Kagome then squeezed her hand and twisted herself around, turning Sakura's wrist around. Feeling a sharp pain, Sakura screamed. Kagome then grabbed the end of Sakura's arm and pulled her over her shoulder. Sakura soon found herself lying on the ground in pain. She tried to get up, but she couldn't move from the impact of the ground. Kagome held out a weapon waiting for her to get back up.

"I give up… I can't move." said Sakura in a disappointed manner.

"Okay then, Kagome is the winner." said Kakashi. "Sasuke, you're next."

Sasuke looked up in surprise. He didn't really want to fight Kagome. Sasuke didn't disobey though, and stepped in front of Kagome. He helped Sakura up and told her to step away. Sakura listened and watched at the side as she rubbed her wrist. Kakashi held up his hand again and cued for the next fight to begin. Kagome bowed again and then went into a fighting stance. Sasuke did the same but like Sakura, didn't hesitate to wait for Kagome to make the first move. Running quickly, Sasuke came right to Kagome with two kunai in his hand. Kagome looked to the ground as if she couldn't see him. Once he held the kunai towards her, Kagome grabbed Sasuke's wrist even though she was looking to the floor. Sasuke used this to his advantage. With the sling of his ankle, he knocked Kagome off of her feet. Kagome didn't fall, she flipped over and then took out two shuriken and threw them at him. Sasuke dodged and ran after her to fight back.

This went on for a few minutes. Kagome grew impatient with the outcome of the battle and then stopped running.

"Give up?" Sasuke shouted.

"No… just the opposite." Kagome said with a small grin.

At that moment, Kagome began making many shapes with her hands to start a jutsu formation. Sasuke didn't move, he knew that she was guarding and if he ran after her, she would fight back. What he did do, was look for a decent hiding spot to dodge whatever jutsu that was coming. Kagome finished her pattern and then put the heels of her hands together and aimed it at Sasuke.

What jutsu is this?…" Sasuke thought. I've never seen this formation

"I win… Water fog jutsu!" Kagome shouted.

Sasuke then was ready to jump out of her way when suddenly, he couldn't see. There was fog every where. This interested Kakashi. He put his book down and began to watch. Sakura was standing right next to him and Naruto already came down from the tree.

"What is this?!" said Naruto. "This is just like what Zabuza did!"

"Pretty much. But Kagome is probably stronger than him." said Kakashi. "These fog related jutsu are very common from the village hidden in the waves."

"Is that where Kagome is from?" asked Sakura.

"Well, yes. But she lived here most of her life. Water jutsu are her favorite kind of chakra techniques." answered Kakashi.

"On no! We can't see Sasuke and Kagome any more. The fog is way too thick!" yelled Naruto.

Sasuke lost track of where he was. The fog blinded him. All he could do was hope that Kagome couldn't see him. But he wasn't prepared to give up. The next thing he did was close his eyes. Opening them caused them to turn red. He released the sharinghan. His eyes shot around the area to find Kagome.

"Better watch your back." came Kagome's voice.

Sasuke jumped and then saw Kagome stand right in front of him. He was ready to copy the rest of her jutsu. Kagome still held her hands in front of him. Soon, water emerged from her palms that was stronger than a fire hose. Sasuke jumped out of the way and began to copy that very jutsu. Kagome looked into his eyes and saw the sharinghan.

"Well… I've heard of the Sharinghan. I've never seen it up close." Kagome said.

"You're in trouble now." Sasuke said as he finished the pattern.

"That is my custom jutsu." Kagome said as she walked around Sasuke. "You can't move around too much doing it. If you don't concentrate."

"I think I'm pretty focused." Sasuke said in a smart tone.

"Try me."

Kagome ran to the side of Sasuke as he put his palms over each other. Kagome then held out her hand and slammed his back. Sasuke's hands dropped. The concentration was interrupted by Kagome's antics.

"You aren't skilled enough to use a jutsu like mine." Kagome said.

Sasuke jumped in front of her and began to start his fire style jutsu. It didn't work. There was too much water in the air because the fog hadn't dissipated. Kagome knew he was opened and did her final blows. Once the fog cleared for Kakashi and the others, they saw Sasuke lying on the ground. All of his chakra had been used up from the Sharinghan.

"Oh no, Sasuke!" Sakura shouted.

"Kagome wins." Kakashi said.

"What… but how!?" said Naruto.

Kagome looked over at Kakashi and then to Sasuke. Kagome loaned a hand to help him up.

"You put up a good fight." she said.

"I can help myself up." Sasuke said as he lifted himself up.

Kagome backed away and then headed towards Kakashi and the others. Sasuke followed behind; angry and confused.

I don't understand…" he thought. how could I have lost so easily?

(Just for the record, to get the Sasuke fans off my back lol, he will go full out on Kagome, I just need to figure out a fight. He went easy on her, if you could see, because he got nervous when he first saw her, boy reasons lol. Thankies for reading )

Kagome said nothing when Kakashi told her that she seemed stronger than before. Naruto and Sakura were impressed.

"She'll be great for the missions!" said Sakura.

"Yeah." said Naruto.

"Okay then, Kagome, this means you are officially part of squad 7! You pass." said Kakashi.

"I'm not done yet." said Kagome.

"Huh?" Kakashi said.

"I want to fight you." said Kagome.

"Hmm… in due time."

There was a short silence after that. Even though Kagome was strong and impressed everyone, she still gave them the creeps. There was no way Kagome could beat Kakashi. Sasuke didn't even pay any attention because of his anger. At that moment, they felt a presence. Kakashi knew exactly who it was… Kagura.

"Kakashi!" she yelled. "I have some news!"

"What?" asked Kakashi.

"Well, it's better I tell you and the class."

"What is it?"

"Well… I had a talk with Lord Hokage… and since Kagome makes the group larger with four people… he said that you needed an extra teacher." said Kagura.

"Why? I can handle Kagome just fine." Kakashi said angrily.

"I'll train her… she needs it from what the Hokage thinks."

"I don't need any more training." said Kagome in a smart tone.

"Oh really?" said Kagura. "Well, I haven't seen your moves since you left. And I have a whole session for you and the class."

Every one was pretty confused with all of this happening at once. Kagura then told everyone that they were to climb the trees with their feet and not use their hands.

"We've already done that!" shouted Naruto.

"That's why I have added a personal touch of my own." said Kagura.

"Wait, you can't just take over the class without telling me." said Kakashi.

"Too bad." said Kagura. "Hokage's orders."

"Orders?"

"Yes. Now start!" yelled Kagura. "You can't let go of the tree and you need to hold on for however long you can! You must reach the top of the trees."

Kagome listened even though she didn't want to. She was the first to climb the tree after focusing chakra to her feet. In a matter of seconds, she was on the top of the fifty foot tree. Naruto was jealous as usual and he went up next. Sakura and Sasuke did the same and they all reached the top. Kagome was getting cocky and was yawning the whole time.

"Alright Kagome." said Kagura. "Since you are so strong… do maneuver 7 now."

"Not that one!" Kagome complained.

"Now!"

Kagome then jumped off of the tree. Kagura told everyone else to watch from the trees. Kagome then bent to the ground and took some time to focus. After taking a breath, she jumped in the air and did an aerial flip five times. Once landing, she kicked her legs in the air and spun around. Then, she went to the splits once falling back to the ground. Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto were all paying attention to how flexible she was. Kagura then walked closer to Kagome.

"Now add a lift!" said Kagura.

Kagome sighed and then used her hands to lift herself from the ground, while still in the splits. Kagome was holding her own weight as she kept her legs stretched out and levitating from the ground. Kagome felt pain all over her arms and in between her legs. Her arms began to shake and it became harder to keep herself off of the ground.

"Focus, Kagome!" said Kagura.

"Kagura, I think Kagome can't hold herself that long." said Kakashi.

"Oh really? Well, Kagome, are you prepared to give up?"

"N-No!" said Kagome.

"Well then, keep it up for another five minutes!" yelled Kagura.

"She can't do that." said Sakura. "Her muscles will rip if she holds herself that long."

Kagome began to break a sweat and shake violently. This was embarrassing for her, but she continued to try. Kagome couldn't hold it any longer though, and dropped right on the floor. Kagura walked over and bent to her level on the ground.

"You lost a lot of your upper body strength, huh?" she asked.

"I guess." said Kagome angrily.

"Alright, get up." Kagura said as she helped Kagome up.

Everyone was pretty curious about this new teacher of theirs. Kagura then told the three others to jump down and go for a lunch break. It had already been noon by the time training was over. Sakura asked Sasuke if he wanted to eat lunch with her. He said no and as usual, Naruto offered to eat with her, and she punched him. Kakashi, annoyed, went home to eat lunch. He realized that Kagome and Kagura weren't home. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke ended up all eating together anyways because the meeting for the exam was to come up shortly. They all realized that Kagome wasn't anywhere in sight and wanted to find her.
