Disclaimer: I own Inuyasha and Naruto... PSYCH!!!
Here's the fourth chapter of Sakura Petals. I'm really sorry about the overdue update. I will try and make my chapters longer. I promise! Anyway... Enjoy!!!
Last Time:
"She's scary." Naruto whispered to Shippo. Shippo nodded numbly.
This Time:
As the group walked along, they saw something looming up ahead of them. They soon figured out that it was a gate.
"Welcome to the shinobi village, of Konoha." Naruto said as the gates opened.
Everyone, except for Kagome and the ninja, gasped. It looked like a perfect blend of the Fuedal Era and the modern world.
"You're going to need to report to Hokage-sama." Sakura said. She began walking in the direction of the Hokage tower.
"Er... not to be blunt, but... what's a Hokage?" Sango asked.
"The Hokage is the leader of the village and the strongest ninja in a village." Naruto explained. He had somewhat given up on his dream of becoming Hokage. Right now, the position didn't seem so important anymore.(N1)
"Hm..." Kagome was thinking hard about something.Where have I seen this place before? It looks so familiar...
"Hey, Kagome! Coming?" she heard Sango yell. Kagome nodded and ran to catch up with them.
A few minutes later, the group was standing outside of a light blue Shoji door. Sakura knocked, then waited a second before opening the door.
As soon as she opened it, a vase came flying out of the room. Sakura ducked to avoid it. It smashed against the wall behind them.
"You better not be bringing me more paperwork!!" They heard a female voice yell.
"I'm not, Hokage-sama. I have five travellers here who wish to stay in Konoha." Sakura said, effectively calming down the woman inside.
"Let them in." The voice commanded.
Kagome, Shippo, Sango, Kohaku, and Kirara walked in. At the desk sat a woman who had mid-back length blonde hair that was in two low pigtails, brown eyes that had a dramatic curve to them, and a lavender, diamond shape on her forehead, who immediately stood up to greet them.
"Forgive me, my name is Tsunade, I'm the Fifth Hokage." She said proudly.
"Hello, my name is Sango. This is my younger brother Kohaku, my twin-tailed fire neko youkai Kirara, and Shippo. He is a fox kitsune." Sango said, bowing to Tsunade.
"My name is Kagome Higurashi." Kagome said, also bowing.
Tsunade's eyes widened. A Higurashi?! Then she realized that the youngest daughter had not been there when...it...happened.
Kagome straightened up and looked at the woman who was gawking at her.
"It's not polite to stare." She pointed out, nonchalantly.
"Kagome...you have finally returned." Tsunade said, still staring at the girl before her. No, not girl. Woman.
Oooooooh, I left you at a cliffy!!(smiles evilly) Now you'll have to wait to find out Kagome's mysterious past in Konoha. If I don't get reviews, I won't continue. I need at least two!! Oh...
(N1)I'm going to make it seem like Naruto doesn't care about being the Hokage anymore. Yes, I know...OOC. But...DEAL WITH IT!!!
