6. Break Away

He stared across the field as he attempted to order his thoughts. His feelings were going AWOL and he couldn't control them; what was wrong with him? Why now? Why her? Higurashi Kagome was Uchiha Sasuke's rival. Sure, she couldn't match him hand-to-hand when it came to combat, he always beat her, but she still came closer than any other genin. It unsettled him.

Sasuke was supposed to hate her, supposed to want to outmatch her in every aspect, wanted to become the strongest so he could kill him. Yet, she still hadn't revealed her Bloodline Limit, and that's what had him on edge.

He'd come close to practically destroying her but Kagome still tried to stand, still tried to fight, still got his attention. It was irritating because she didn't want him to look at her - as far as he knew - but he noticed her anyway.

Kagome was an entity that he was unfamiliar with, yet he recognised some of her actions, her ways of doing things. They reminded Sasuke of him. It was incomprehensible.

Suddenly, the wind shifted and he stiffened, immediately leaping into action after. Pouncing with fourteen years of training, Sasuke tackled the form hiding in the shrubbery to his left.

With a kunai to the throat, he stared down at his prey.

"Hn." The occupant of his thoughts. Speak of the devil.

Kagome's blue eyes looked up at him innocently; they were a dark, dark blue, the occasional crystal of a lighter shade here and there - and he really needed to get off her. "So, what had you consumed in your thoughts that I deliberately had to make myself known so you'd notice me?"

With the signature 'Uchiha glare', he shuffled back and leant against a tree. "Don't ignore me, Sasuke." Reaching over, she poked his forehead once, and before she had the chance to do it again, her wrist was wrapped in a death grip with a rabid Uchiha snarling in her face.

"Do. Not. Touch. Me." A slight smirk curved Kagome's lips as she looked at her classmate/temporary teammate.

"I knew that'd get your attention." A knowing look passed over her eyes as she looked at Sasuke, a frown tilting her lips down. "We knew each other, you know. I met him before… everything happened." Sasuke froze as he released Kagome's wrist, pushing her away slightly.

"...Impossible. You only moved to Konoha last year." A snort erupted in her throat and then Kagome grinned.

"You've always wondered about my Limit, have you not?" Standing up, Kagome offered her hand to Sasuke; he refused it and stood himself, dusting off his shorts. He was, however, mighty interested in Kagome's Bloodline Limit. "You've to swear to secrecy not to tell anyone," he wouldn't anyway, for some reason, he didn't want anyone getting their hands on Kagome, be it for her 'power', her beauty or her skills. Sasuke… he wanted to… he wanted to keep her to himself. He nodded.

"Okay, so basically, with our eyes, although they aren't anything special, we can create a portal. Be it to alternate universes, the future.. or the past." With widened eyes like a hawk, Sasuke stepped back a fraction. "I met Uchiha Itachi three weeks before everything happened." He couldn't believe it. This girl - Kagome - had met his brother, his enemy, his only shot at revenge, when he was good. She'd travelled through time, she had spoken to his brother!

Then, it finally struck him. "You were the girl in the hood. The one he always talked to. He…" Kagome nodded before sighing.

"Anyway, our power is extremely limited. Well, I wouldn't say limited, more consequential. We can go to any place, time, whatever," Sasuke's eyes bulged slightly, but he immediately schooled his features back into his cool mask, "but it decreases how long we live. I mean, I could go to the future for an hour and I'll live an hour less. Although it doesn't sound much, it eventually adds up. I could go to the future and see just when I'm about to die, then calculate it back to when I know I will die with all the time-travelling I could be doing."

"...Then why don't you?"

"No one wants to know when they're going to die, Sasuke."

"Can you show me?" Kagome smiled.

"I was wondering when you were going to ask. When do you want to go?"

Now that he thought about it, he wasn't so sure. I… don't want to see him. I hate him! "The Yondaime."

"When he died?" Sasuke nodded. "It'll be dangerous."

"I can handle it."

Kagome nodded. Maybe Sasuke would become her friend finally if she showed him this.

I hope. I've seen your future, and it's not looking good. Sasuke, you need to break away from the path you have set for yourself.

Thanks for reading and I hoped you enjoyed it! If I ever write a Kagome x Naruto!verse character, her Limit is going to be what I've just used.
