Chapter 3
Sasori and Diedra went after Kagome, Diedra was chewing clay, while Sasori used his puppet to do a full on frontal attack on kagome while kisame was leaning against a tree, hugging his knees to his chest. Rocking back and forth, remembering that night at the hotel.
Kagome looked over at Kisame and giggled madly, dodging Sasoris attacks easily.
"PAY ATTENTION TO ME WHILE IM ATTACKING YOU!" was Sasoris outraged voice from kagomes complete disregard in him being there. Kagome looked Sasori in the eye and said "Past emersion" and watched as Sasori simply stopped moving, causing him to fall over as he traveled the painful past with Kisame.
"DON'T THINK IM LIKE THEY ARE HN!" came Diedras voice as he jumped on a big bird that was rushing at kagome. The bird opened its beak and a thousand little spiders came raining down on kagome making her cry in disgust.
The spidars rained down and exploded, leaving tiny craters where they once were, making kagome sigh and charge ki in her legs and jump, rushing up to diedra as she punched him. Causing him to break his jaw, as she punched him she took the pouches that were at his side and held them over her shoulder as she fell to the ground.
She was falling towards itachi, as she was falling she threw the pouches and said "Fire Style: ember release!" as the pouch was heading to itachi, the embers caused the clay in it to explode. The explosion was high enough that it didn't hit itachi, kagome rushed through the explosion and tried to aim a punch for itachis eyes.
Itachi simply dodged it, causing them to go into a taijutsu battle while diedra fell and hit Kisame, causing them to loose consciousness.
"Crystal Style: Jade Prison!" Itachi became encased in crystal. Kagome leaned her back against the crystal wall and turned to Kisame, Sasori and Diedra "Itachi, I know you can hear me. So ill explain to all of you again. I want to join the akatsuki" kagome said mildly annoyed.
Sasori went over to Diedra and Kisame and proceeded to kick them, soon after they woke up and Kisame tried to throw Sasori into a tree for kicking him.
Kagome sweat dropped while she looked at Itachi to see his eye twitching, she brought her elbow down on the crystal, cracking the prison in half.
Once free Itachi inhaled, and said "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" and exhaled, causing a huge fire ball to come hurtling towards the three arguing males in the forest. They jumped away in time. But it resulted in the forest to catch fire.
Kisame, Sasori and Diedra glared over at Itachi for attacking them, while kagome ran around waving her arms in the air "WHAT THE FRICK IS WRONG WITH YOU ITACHI!"
Everyone sweat dropped at that, getting rid of the killer intent aimed at Itachi as they watched kagome panic over the forest fire.
"sooo…. Your able to hold your own about the akatsuki without any fear but you panic over a little forest? Hn" came diedras amused voice as kagome turned and glared at Diedra before saying "Water style: water torent!" and used wind chakra to freeze the water as it hit the trees and forest.
Along with Diedra.
"aaaasss I was saying before. I want to join the akatsuki, if not than I can ally myself with one of the great nations. Im sure someone will have use of my abilities."
"we will bring you to leader-sama."
Kagome blinked "First, we must know your name so to inform leader-sama of it before hand" Kisame said with a glare towards Kagome.
Kagome giggled madly and smiled evilly at Kisame and said "boo" suddenly Kisame was back to hugging his knees whispering nonsense about fluffy tails.
With a shrug at Sasoris incredious look and Diedra looking at Itachi with a smirk.
'I should ask shippo to do a memory implant jutsu so I can learn what he did to them that was soo bad to truamatize them.' Kagome looked over at Itachi.
"Kikyo. My name is Kikyo" kagome said with a cold detached voice.
"alright Kikyo, turn around so we can tie you up" Kisame said holding some chakra rope.
With a pout kagome turned around and let them tie her. That is when they started walking east, she assumed to their hideout.
A couple hours later "are we there yet?" "NO SHUT YOUR MOUTH" Diedra said, annoyed with Kagome after hours of hearing "are we there yet?"
Itachi twitched and Kisame looked over at him "please, by all means. Do something Itachi" Kisame started to walk forward, being at the front of the group.
"how much longer?" kagome looked at Sasori with a look in her eyes "don't speak wench, I do not like to waste time."
"how much longer?"
Sasori twitched "how much longer?"
"DAMNIT IT'S A WEEKS WALK FROM WHERE WE ARE WENCH!"
"so we are wasting time."
Itachi took that time to place Sasori into a genjutsu so he stood paralysed while kagome walked forward with a smug look.
God shes making their lives hell.
At the village.
Mission after mission to pinpoint Orochimarus location and locating sasuke was pointless, each hideout had traps set up to prevent anyone from collecting evidence by activating a self destructing secuence.
It was in one of those hideouts that kagome got injured. After deeming the mission a failure she rushed to the village to hand in her report.
In the act of it, she collapsed from the injury in front of Tsunade. It was than that Tsunade felt that kagome needed rest from her duties least she burns out.
Kagome was sent to the hospital for her injuries, and a week after that she was discharged, she tried to go see Tsunade for more missions. Only thing was, it didn't go so well.
"I told you kagome, you are taking a break from your duties, I will not put you in the front lines until im convinced that you have had your rest."
"but…"
"being in ANBU means you cannot disobey the Hokage."
Kagome hung her head in shame when Tsunade said that, "yes Hokage-sama."
Kagome turned and walked out. She walked the streets for a while, feeling lost. Until she bumped into what felt like solid rock.
Kagome blinked and looked… than looked up "oh! SORRY"
"no its my fault Higarushi-san"
"no I wasn't looking where I was going Hatake-san"
"regardless, why weren't you look Higarushi-san?" kagome had a tickmark "its Kagome"
"alright kagome."
"well you see… ever since being here ive been going on back to back missions… but Tsunade put me on leave…"
"harsh"
"i…I don't know what to do Hatake-san"
"you can come with me and my team, we are going to train while we can so that we can get sasuke back"
"really? You would let me come along?"
"no. im bringing you along so that you can help train my team."
Kagome sweat dropped and glared at Kakashi 'bastard. Of course he would get something out of it.'
At that moment kagome felt like strangling kakashi for trying her patience when she didn't have any patience at the moment.
Especially since she found out that kakashi was three hours late for training his own students.
"now, tell me Hatake-san, why would you show up three hours late to meet your own students?"
"because ive always been late."
Kagome tilted her head back as she looked at kakashi, no she did not notice how built he was, or how the lazy look in his eye makes him handsome. Nor did she fantasize about what was underneath that mask.
Even innocent people have their limits about curiousity towards others.
"you know Kagome. You've made quite a name for yourself with your missions."
" the 'shikigami shinobi' you're a myth that our enemies warn about."
"well I guess that stems from the way I handle Siekatsu and Shi in battle."
"Shi? Siekatsu? Pray tell Kagome, what are you going on about?" Kakashi said with a smile and tilt of his head.
"they are my swords, the things I like to fall back on to get things done instantly. Though I don't know how anyone else would know of that. Since ive been put in ANBU to ensure my identity is not known."
They were walking to training ground 7 slowly, kakashi had his hands in his pocket staring up at the sky.
Once they made it to the training ground kakashi was standing in front of kagome in front of his team.
"YOUR LATE!" sakura and Naruto were screaming at him. "sorry, I got lost on the road of life." Kakashi said scratching his head.
"LIAR!"
Kagome saw the sweat drop kakashi had in the back of his head.
Kagome giggled, once hearing that Naruto and sakura were looking around before kagome leaned to the side against kakashi, unknowingly having her front rub against kakashis back and arm making him blush.
Naruto pointed at kagome "HEY ITS THAT LADY!" while sakura blinked and looked between kakashi blushing and kagome smiling at them "KAKASHI-SENSEI HAS A GIRLFRIEND!?" sakura screamed and fainted.
Kagome and kakashi sweat dropped as Naruto ran around screaming before bumping into a tree and passing out.
"well… your teams interesting. You sure they may be able to handle my training?"
"id shame myself as a teacher if they weren't strong enough to handle your training kagome"
Kagome blushed when he didn't address her as her surname. She likes the sound of her name on his lips.
With a shrug at Kakashi she walked over to sakura as her body split in two and the other kagome walked over to Naruto.
Once she reached them, she kicked them in the gutt. Throwing them through multiple trees, sakura and Naruto came to. spitting up blood as kakashi watched on stoicly.
"listen gakis. I will be training you for the remainder of the day. During this day, kakashi will not help you, kakashi will not protect you. Not even the hokage can stand against me towards my training methods."
Kagome looked at the sky as her pink barrier went up. She added her youki and watched as it went purple and electricity was arcing in the air. Effectively electrocuting kakashi,sakura and Naruto.
"your training starts now. You are all to meditate and hold your chakra off against the barrier. Your in this too kakashi so don't even open your mouth, you will end up screaming. And you will not stop."
She watched as they all fell down to the ground foaming at the mouth. she looked in on each of their minds and saw that they have started.
"lesson 1, chakra control."
Kagome walked away and went to a BBQ place for something to eat and tea.
Once she got back to the training ground she saw kakashi was already up, she sat next to him and set bento box onto his lap and smiled at him "so, how was your lesson kakashi?"
"what is wrong with you kagome, even my resolve almost weavered in the face of that. What of the nine tails?"
"its mixed with miko ki, if the nine tails knows whats good for him, he will not emerge from Naruto. It will kill them both instantly"
Kakashi stared at kagome with a mix of horror and admiration.
Kagome brought out her own bento box, two cups and a thermos. She poured them some green tea and drank it as she watched Naruto and sakura.
Kagome was eating when kakashi took off his mask, at first kakashi was weary of doing so, thinking that kagome would want to see what his face looks like also.
Kagome simply ate and drank her tea and said "if you are worried of me seeing you Hatake-san. Don't."
She felt the tension in kakashi leave him as they ate and watched his students. "so I take it you learned from my little lesson?"
Kakashi kept quiet and kagome was tempted to strangle him for it.
Sakura came to screaming and kakashi watched as the electricity intensified around sakura before sakura called forth her own chakra to battle the electricity with.
"so that's what it looked like."
"you are to wait on Naruto to come to sakura before we start our next lesson."
Kagome said with a stoic expression and kagome held out a bento box towards sakura.
As soon as sakura took the bento box, Naruto also came to screaming as he stood up quickly. Upon waking, Naruto tried to attack kagome only to have him restrained as kakashi smiled at Naruto "maa, what do you think attacking your teacher for?"
"SHE ATTACKED ME FIRST!"
"that was your first lesson, now on for the next."
"wait! We don't get to eat?!" sakura screamed "not anymore."
Kagome watched as crystal tubes came up from the ground and encased sakura and Naruto and wires attached themselves to their bodies and kagome smirked "Lesson 2, physical Strength"
"erm kagome… Sakura became a student of Tsunade…" kakashi said rather breathelessly as kagome looked at him from the corner of her eye and pouted.
Kagome made a sign and watched as Miroku was formed from thin air "ensure her chakra is completely supressed. She will do this purely of her strength."
"hai!"
"say… did you bring dumplings kagome?"
With a sigh kagome gestured for miroku to come and get the dumplings.
"thank you lady kagome, you are most kind"
Once miroku was close he leaned down and kissed her hand while kakashi was silently seething.
Kagomes eyebrow and lips twitched as she slapped miroku across the face making kakashi confused.
"HENTAI!" miroku was rubbing his cheek with the same hand he used to rub kagomes bottom as kakashi finally registered what just happened.
Suddenly there was killing intent directed towards miroku as kakashis eyebrow twitched.
Kagome was completely clueless as kakashi was chasing miroku around. Just then, the glass tube around Naruto shattered, hitting miroku in the face.
To say the energy around Naruto after his second training was massive would be an understatement. "now Naruto, you learnt control. Use it."
"yes Kagome-Sensei"
"don't call me sensei."
Naruto muttered under his breath "kagome-sensei" stubbornly making kagome hit him on the head with a fist as kakashi finally caught up to miroku.
"what happened here?"
"beats me" kagome said over her shoulder as she looked up on sakura. Over her shoulder Naruto was trying to restrain kakashi from strangling miroku.
'naruto is stronger' kakashi thought as he watched miroku hand glow. Wait no, the beads on his hands "Lady Kagome, sakura is trying to use her chakra."
"get rid of her chakra than"
"THAT WILL KILL HER" kakashi was screaming at a deaf kagome. As miroku started chanting and placed a sutra on the tube that held sakura. The sutra glowed and energy was drained from sakura and into the sutra.
Blink. A crack formed and kagome ran her fingers along it.
"sakura can never be strong enough of her own right to finish this training. Im dropping her as my student."
Kakashi waved his hands in front of his face as he laughed nervously "now now kagome, don't rush it. She will be free in a bit"
"she will never be free if she allows her emotions to burden her so much."
It was a couple hours later and sakura was still in the tube when kagome said "release"
Sakuras tube broke as she fell to the ground and Naruto went to her side.
"sakura. You are weak, your lucky I kept things from killing you from the beginning. I will no longer train you, me and Naruto will proceed with training."
"I will not leave sakura behind!"
"but" sakura tried to tell Naruto to keep going with his training only to see kagome walking away.
"than I will no longer stay here to train you."
Kakashi waved to his students and said "you guys learnt quite a bit today. Dimissed, you will meet here again tomorrow at noon."
With a puff of smoke kakashi disappeared and appeared on a roof top, spying on kagome as she rounded a corner and bumped into guy.
'oh god… it's the beast' kagome thought with a look of horror on her face.
"why isn't it the youthful Kagome! I couldn't help but notice your prowess in taijutsu! I wish to challenge you in a friendly match between two shinobi"
Kagome tried to take a step back as a look of horror crossed her face.
Guy took a stance and kakashi swooped down and picked up kagome bridal style.
They were running in the tree tops from guy as kagome sighed "thank you Hatake-san" kakashi didn't hear a word she said because he was distracted with the feel of her curves as he held her.
"Kagome, I wish to speak to you. I want you to rethink teaching my students."
"sakura cant go through with my teachings, and Naruto will allow himself to be held back for her. Theres nothing else to think about."
"but you are wrong, we simply need to let sakura see the seriousness of the situation for her to get stronger."
With a pout kagome said sullenly "you can put me down now Hatake-san"
"ill bring you home… don't know when Guy may show up. Where is it that you live?"
"…..you can put me down now Hatake-san" 'I cant let him find out that I live in a hideout.'
Just than Tsunade showed up and saw kakashi holding kagome "did I miss something?"
"umm… no!" kagome was red in the face avoiding looking at Tsunade.
"good, well I can bring you to your new compound, it took a while. But I have the HIgarushi clan established here in the hidden leaf."
Kagome was glaring at kakashi hoping he would put her down now. But kakashi simply followed Tsunade, not listening to kagomes protests.
Once they got to the compound kagome stared at the place in wonder. It was huge!
Tsunade looked over at kagome and nodded to Kakashi before going to a place to pick up more sake.
"you can put me down now Hatake-san"
"my, aren't you going to invite me in Kagome?" kakashi said with that seductive voice of his and a smile.
"if I invite you in, will you finally put me down?"
Waiting for no answer knowing there wont be one kagome sighed and said in a sullen tone "would you like to come in and check it out too?"
Kakashi finally put kagome down with a smug look on his face as kagome wondered around the compound with a dazed look on her face.
There were houses lining the street with a cressent moon with a red rose in the center on the doors
Each house had a windchime hanging from the roof. She looked around and saw there was a huge mansion in the center of everything with a wall around it.
'I guess this is where the head of the clan lives' kagome thought and she went in, there was soo much space between the wall and the mansion, creating a sort of garden in the front. She walked along it finding bushes that are shaped into animals and youkai.
She came upon a koi pond and completely forgot that kakashi was there as she ran along the garden with herbs and flowers and giggled as she tripped and rolled in the grass.
She was looking up at the sky with a giggle and that's when kakashi flopped onto the grass next to kagome "this is a pretty impressive compound Kagome"
Kagome blushed "I live alone though…."
"I can move in and act as guard to the Higarushi clan."
"but for a price of course." Kagome twitched "you see, I do not like hospitals. And I am told your medical ninjutsu from your miko ki is far greater than something Tsunade can accomplish. I wish for you to become my doctor, along with compensation from the Higarushi clan."
With a sigh "fine. I will set up a barrier and security system in place and have you oversee it. And you will stay in the main house with me. We will have to inform Tsunade of it."
"right" they got up and kagome cut her hand and let drops of blood fall, and watched as drops levitated to the perimeter of the compound and made a barrier. She concentrated and allowed the barrier to become near invisible to the naked eye. She cannot make it disappear all together due to the sheer size of the compound, but it cannot be detected and unless someone knows what they are looking for, it cannot be seen.
She held up her hand and watched as a crystal materialized, she allowed it to become smaller and made it into a necklace and hand it over to kakashi.
"here is the Security system data and details. I will keep a backup on me at all times" a piece of a jewel shard appeared on her bracelet and she stared on at it with an unknown emotion, remembering the days where her and a group of friends were searching for the jewel shards.
She jerked back to reality when kakashi took the necklace from kagome, their hands touching and she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "i… I miss them so much…"
"your comrades?"
"yes…."
"the pain will never go away kagome, you can only wait until you learn to bear it."
With a sigh she looked over at kakashi and grinned as she tackled him to the ground, before they hit the ground they disappeared and appeared in Tsunades office, kakashis face hitting the floor with kagome sitting on him.
Kagome waved at kakashi and she smiled "Hello Hokage!"
Kagome ducked as an empty sake bottle came hurtling at them. Kakashi however didn't see it coming when he was trying to get up.
He fell to the ground again as kagome laughed.
"we are here to speak to you about the Higarushi clan."
Kagome poked kakashi as he finally got up "I wish to act as guardian to the Higarushi clan." Kakashi bowed to Tsunade as he avoided looking her in the eyes.
"alright, but that also means youll have to go with her to the clan meetings, and be an advisory to her in those meetings."
Kagome smiled and dragged kakashi out of there before he can change his mind with a "thanks Tsunade!" over her shoulder.
Once outside kagome looked over at kakashi and grined "ill help you move!"
"clan meetings tonight…"
"ill help you move!"
"we have to be at the meeting tonight"
"ill help you move!" kakashi sweat dropped and scratched the back of his head "fine. We should do it now than."
Kagome followed kakashi to his place and sweat dropped at the place.
It was a dump, it was falling apart and there was old graffiti on the walls of the house with some slurs.
Kagome followed kakashi inside and took out a storage scroll. Kagome went around storring everything into the scroll while kakashi went to his room to pack his stuff. Once the house was practically empty. Kagome went to look for kakashi.
When she went over to his room, she blushed, kakashi was half naked. His shirt was off with a pile of folded clothing in front of him.
Kagome looked away as kakashi put on a shirt and looked back "oh, you found me."
Kagome walked over to kakashi blushing furiously and held out her storage scroll as it sucked in the clothes into another seal on the scroll.
Kagome walked out of the room not looking at kakashi at all as she walked out of the house.
Kakashi was walking behind her with a look of surprise at everything. The house was practically empty. 'how… when….'
They walked to the compound and kagome handed over the storage scroll to kakashi "make sure that thing is pointed away from you when you open it."
Kakashi looked over at it and looked at kagome curiously, he opened the scroll staring at it intensly as kagome screamed and took kakashi, pushing him back as everything in the scroll came out.
If he would have stood there the weight of all the stuff would have simply crushed him.
Kagome turned around and glared at kakashi, feeling her mouth twitch "I told you, make sure its pointing away from you."
Kakashi was scratching his head as he laughed nervously
"clean this up and organize everything while I go shopping for groceries."
Kagome walked out and walked the streets looking around, hoping she wouldn't end up bumping into the freaking beast that wants to challenge her. She bumped into Naruto instead "say kagome-sensei, have you seen kakashi? Ive been wanting to talk to him about something that's been bugging me."
"why no I haven't Naruto. Have you tried checking his place?"
"I don't really know where he lives kagome-sensei."
Kagome shrugged "well sorry kid. I cant help you with it."
Kagome walked away upon finding a food stand and drooled at it. She bought all that she can carry and used a teleportation jutsu.
She came to the house with the sight of kakashi in shorts and sweat glistening on his chest. He was scrubbing things down and making sure the place was clean again after the huge mess he caused.
Kagome almost dropped the groceries she carried and turned around. She felt kakashi at her back as he wrapped his arms around her grabbing the grocery bags from her.
"my, are you blushing kagome?"
Kagome shook her head and turned away and headed to the kitchen with the rest of the grocery bags.
"what time did you say the meeting was?"
"nevermind that. I have a basement full of jutsu scrolls, I already know them all. There is a seal at the door that only allows someone I approve of to open it."
With a shake kagome started to cut up fish while washing the rice.
She set the rice to cook as she prepared the bento and made some sauce to fill the rice with, she added some tempera knowing that she will want it later on.
She started mixing a batch to make dumplings again knowing she will want that later too.
Once the rice was finished cooking she put everything together and tied up the bento.
She placed the bento in the fridge and set the dumplings aside and sighed "now… what will I make for dinner?"
With a pout kakashi walked over and said "you took care of lunch, let me worry about dinner. It is the least I can do kagome" kagome was glad to see that kakashi was dressed. The scars that littered his back and chest made it all the more irresistible to trace them and let her hands roam his body.
That is something that kagome seriously didn't want to end up doing.
With a shrug she said "alright, lets go to this meeting you speak of than." They took the bentos and took off.
The meeting was horrible, there were many clans there that were bickering about this and that. And then there was the Hyuuga trying to marry her off to one of the branch houses hoping to introduce her powers to their bloodlines.
With the Uchihas completely gone now, there was a huge power struggle going on with the clans. It was creating unrest in the village.
Once the meeting was finally over, kagome dragged her weary body out of the retched place and kakashi followed her. Looking as if nothing completely exhausting has happened at all. It seriously infuriated kagome. How can this not affect him at all?
Kagome sighed when kakashi opened his mouth, knowing something bad would come out of it "so about training my students?"
Shaking her head she sighed "fine"
Kakashi smirked and nodded before disappearing as kagome went to the compound and took out the bento, she ate and turned around hoping to eat the dumplings she made earlier. Finding that kakashi took her dumplings.
"HATAKE!" the whole village can hear a scream of rage as the birds flew away in fright.
Somewhere in konoha kakashi was leaning against a tree with his mask off. Drooling at the dumplings he nabbed off the table when kagome wasn't looking. Kakashi took time in eating it groaning at how good it taste.
Once the dumplings were gone, kakashi sighed in disappointment knowing that he would become addicted to the dumplings that kagome makes, he will have to exercise more often so as not to let it affect his physique.
Kakashi put his hands together when he took out his bento and snapped the chop sticks apart when he was about to eat, there was a loud rumbling and kakashi felt some real fear for his life.
Kakashi finished his bento quickly and stored the box away in a scroll as he put the mask on and looked around.
He sighed in relief when he found nothing.
Only to feel a kunai at his throat and a very familiar person at his back, he blushed again feeling her chest rub against his back caushing a certain bulge to grow.
"you. Took. My. Dumplings. Hatake." Kagome said with a deadly tone to her voice.
"maa, I couldn't resist Kagome, It just looked soo good."
He felt like there was fire coming off her built and her arms as she growled.
"thank you for the delicious lunch you made for me, and I wish for you to make even more of those delicious dumplings kagome." Kakashi was trying to flatter her, and it worked.
Kagome sighed and withdrew the kunai and watched as kakashi turned around, but not stepping back.
Her chest was pressed against his front as he leaned over with an evil glint in his eye that kagome did not like.
"although kagome, I wish you didn't go all the way here to interrupt me, I was just about to read Icha Icha too."
Kagome blushed furiously when she felt his bulge and tried to resist pressing her legs together in reaction.
"now if you excuse me, I have to get going. I just remembered I have something I gotta do."
With a growl kagome turned away as kakashi disappeared. Since he ate her dumplings, she would have to go to a shop and buy some herself if she didn't want to cook it.
With a pout she walked into the nearest shop and hoped they had dumplings. They did, but she ran into a boy with pearly eyes.
"Kagome-san, just the person I was looking for" the boy said "I am Neji Hyuuga and I was ordered to take you out for dinner, Haishi-sama believes that you would do good for the clan."
With a snort kagome walked around Neji and said in a condescending tone "sorry kid, I do not go for the younger generation. You do not interest me"
Neji was seething at kagome saying that he does not interest him, she should be lucky and thanking him!
Kagome walked out and took one of the dumpling sticks and ate it, moaning under her breath at how good it taste to her. Not as good as her own, but still good.
She was walking to the compound only to find Neji at the gates waiting for her. Damn his persistant.
"I said it before, ill say it again. You don't interest me kid. So get lost."
Kagome walked away from neji and went to open the gates "it is by the orders of Hiashi-sama that I have to do this. I will not fail in my orders so you will be mine Kagome-san."
"maybe in your dreams."
Kagome closed the gates on Neji and growled when she saw kakashi.
"say anything about this situation and I will have your head on a platter kakashi"
"wow."
Kagome glared at kakashi "you are finally using my name instead of my surname. You must be very upset right now, I didn't mean to take your dumplings. But I just couldn't help it."
Kagome fell over anime style while kakashi kneeled befor her poking her.
Kagome got up with pouted looking at kakashi.
"it seems Hyuuga-san has ordered his underlings to try and get me in their good graces. Possibly hope to achieve having me in the Hyuuga clan."
"well now. It depends on the u-"
"he sent Neji Hyuuga" Kagome growled out.
"well… do you have feelings for this Neji?"
"no. I do not have interests in the young, if anything you're a better candidate than he is."
Kagome blushed as what she said registered and hope kakashi didn't catch that.
"oh? Are you saying I have a chance with you Kagome?" kakashi was leaning down to look at kagome with a smile on his face.
When kagome saw that his eye was close when he was smiling, she took the opprutinity to punch him for it. But decided against it and was shocked that she leaned over and kissed his cheek instead.
She turned away feeling herself turn beet red at what she did, she ran to the house and went over to the kitchen and put a batch together for dumplings.
She felt kakashi walk into the kitchen and sit on a chair at the table.
Kagome brewed some green tea as the dumplings were finished, she set them on a plate and poured some sauce over them and felt herself drool. Knowing that kakashi had a sweet tooth also, she made extra. A lot of extra.
She set the dumplings at the table and poured two cups of green tea and picked up a stick.
Kakashi had his mask off the whole time and kagome didn't notice. Until he coughed and kagome looked up, nearly dropping the stick.
"Since we will be living together and working together, along with the fact that you are also my doctor I feel that it is okay for you to see my face kagome."
Kagome was blushing as she memorized his face. And ate the dumpling with a moan and ate more dumpling.
With a mouth full she looked over at kakashi as he ate some dumplings too and said "will, I guess the rumors about you having buck teeth or fish lips aren't true." Kagome said with a giggle.
Kakashi felt a sweat drop on the back of his head at what kagome said and once her dumplings were finished she sat and drank her tea watching kakashi.
"Doing things around here won't be easy kakashi. You are now under my roof. So I expect you to train daily to keep up your strength, if I sense you are lacking in something. I will train you myself. I cannot allow someone who will mean a lot to me in the future to perish due to lack of training and knowledge."
Kakashi blinked and pouted at kagome making her supress a gasp and press her legs together as she hid her blush with the cup of green tea.
"Does this mean you will train me to assess my skills?"
"Yep, starting tomorrow. I have a jutsu that brings us into a pocket dimension and to a timeless isle, there I will oversee your training. There, all the time in the world will pass. But none will pass here."
Kagome tilted her head with a smile "so that means you better enjoy life here while you can, starting tomorrow I will be your worst nightmare."
