Kagome twirled quickly, slicing through the decoys she had created with practiced ease. Sweat soaked her brow and she panted slightly. She jumped up slightly, striking another decoy with her kantana.
Moving gracefully she defeated the last one and plopped to the ground, tired from her training. A bow and quiver of arrows lay forgotten at her side as she layed back on the ground.
Sighing sleepily, the young miko closed her eyes and enjoyed the silence around her. Soon she had drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

Sasuke jumped onto another branch, heading towards a secluded area of the forest in which he used to train at times. He stopped suddenly, noticing the small blotch located not to far ahead of him.
Curiosity spiked, he leapt onto another limb and headed towards the blotch. Shock ran across his face as he got close enough to see that it was not, in fact, a blotch but a person.
And not just any person, the strange woman that had entered the village two weeks prior.
'Kagome' He suddenly remembered her name as he looked down upon her form. Her eyes were closed, thick lashes caressing her cheeks. A peaceful expression was on her face as she slept quietly.
Sasuke sighed, knowing that he would have to wake her up. Squatting down he reached over and shook her shoulder. Kagome's eyes shot open and she turned on Sasuke, effectively grabbing her kantana and getting in a battle position in one move.
He glared at her, he had only been trying to help after all. "Oh, it's only you, Sasuke" She whispered, loosening her grip on the sword. 'How could I have been so stupid? Falling asleep in the middle of an unsecure forest!' She asked herself.
Sasuke smirked in front of her, noticing the cloudy look that had entered her eyes. "I believe that if you are tired that you should go home before you rest, you never know what could be out in these woods." He taunted, his lips twitching when she huffed and glared at him.
"Yes, I suppose that would be wise." She spat, turning on her heel and stomping away. Sasuke chuckled slightly to himself and continued to his training spot.

Kagome muttered dark promises as she swiftly made her way back to the hotel. "Yo, wait Kagome-chan!" A voice called from the crowd around her. She stopped and noticed the blonde head that seemed to stand out among the passing people. "Naruto-san" She greeted him politely when he arrived next to her.
He grinned at her and handed her some envelopes. "Grandma-Tsunade said to give these and to tell you that she wants you to come to training with the rest of us tomorrow."
She nodded, "Alright, which training field should I go to?"
"Number 5" He replied, stepping back into the crowd and waving goodbye.
Kagome sighed tiredly and slipped the envelope into her pocket before heading back to her hotel.
