Kakashi almost spit out his tea looking at her. She kept her head down as Naruto smiled toothily, "what are you serious Kagome?"
She looked to them for a second then smiled shaking her head quickly, "its nothing, never mind."
To be honest she needed to know, she has left her brother for so long and everything had changed. She had left her brother alone to suffer what else was she to do? He felt guilt an over excessive cloak of a guilty conscious. She didn't care in the least if she was the younger sibling, she had let her only family left down, and she had left her big brother alone to be in pain. Kakashi raised his head letting out an exhausted breath hearing the rain drizzle away, "Sasuke hardly talks to us as it is but I am sure that hatred is the farthest thing from his mind."
She seemed unsure as she heard a creak from the stairs. She looked back to them sure that Miroku was sitting on the steps listening. Shaking her head for a moment she smiled, "I know he loves me very much I am sorry that I troubled you with such stupid things."
They looked to her for a moment then nodded deciding to leave it at that. Sasuke then walked down the stairs his hands on his hips with Miroku behind him. He asked annoyed, "what are they doing still here Kagome?"
She smiled to him, "Sassy come on they are your team mates you can at least welcome them in since it was raining outside. They did carry you all the way here."
(A/N: So you know his nickname isn't sounding as Sassy its more like Saucy but I wanted to use the actual origin of his name)
Naruto grinned brightly to him wrapping an arm around his neck, "come on you! Join in on the fun."
Still blushing from the pet name Kagome had used he turned away with a grunt. Miroku smiled lightly walking foreword stealing a moon cake from Kagome's hand causing her to turn with a shock. She snapped, "Miroku!"
Stuffing it into his mouth he shrugged quickly looking around as if he had done nothing. Kakashi smiled lightly to the people. He pushed himself up carefully finishing and thanking Kagome and Miroku. He spoke, "we should be leaving, the rain has died down and we should leave while we still get the chance."
Naruto whined with Sasuke sighed thankfully. They walked towards the doorway with the umbrellas Kagome provided yet with Sasuke as the host to lead them out. He stood there carefully yet stood outside the door. He looked to them both as he stared at him confused. He muttered, "Listen, I love my sister, that's never going to change and I'm sorry about her."
They seemed surprised yet he spoke it grudgingly. Kakashi sighed opening the umbrella, "You sister is fine, just take care of each other, she seems to think some things of you, perhaps you should clarify some things."
Naruto nodded for a moment as Kakashi turned to disappear. He glanced back momentarily and smiled, "yeah she thinks things…so you have family now ya know Sasuke just be happy about it."
He disappeared after that allowing Sasuke to sigh and turn to walk inside. As he did he saw a small band sticking out of the under the trunk. Bending down he pulled out a headband, he looked confused as he turned walking up the stairs and finding 3 more on the bed. Setting it down he looked down, "what the…these are the two they stole off those people they found and these…where did they get these from."
Kagome walked through the door suddenly a wide smile on her face as she slid in, "Sasuke?"
She stopped seeing what he was looking at. Parting her lips she took in a deep breath walking foreword reaching out a hand to his shoulder, "Sasuke…I can explain."
Turning quickly he caused her to stagger back; he narrowed his eyes stepping foreword intimidating, "Kagome…why do you have these? Where did you get them?"
Looking to the ground she explained, "I went to see the Hokage today with Miroku…"
Gripping her arms he asked angrily out of concern for her and what she was planning, "Why?"
Turning her head away she whimpered a little looking away. Sniffing she looked down to the ground and began, " I just…it was nothing I just wanted to visit him and get my own that's all!"
Miroku ran into the room breaking the two quickly. He took firm to the ground yet his eyes looked to hers. She held onto Miroku hiding her face in his sleeve yet in those eyes he saw a quaint fear. Walking over he felt Miroku move away. He wrapped his arms around her carefully pressing her to his chest. He whispered an apology and kind words. She held him in return as he spoke, "I'm just worried."
Sighing Miroku turned. He called them each, "too bed now both of you. Sasuke you have the chunin exams in a day and Kagome you have-things."
He spoke those last words as if pretending not to know. Sasuke nodded pressing his lips to her forehead turning and walking away. She took a moment sighing and propping herself on the bed. Sighing she turned off the light slipping the headbands in the drawer. Miroku stood in the doorway looking at her yet saw her turn away. With a sigh he shut the door behind him walking towards Sasuke's room to hear him slam his foot repeatedly into something cursing himself. Looking into the screen he stood there not knowing what to do. He was a monk, not a father, not a brother.
Moving his hand to touch the screen he grunted turning to his own room quickly. Grunting he continued to his own room.
Moving upward Sasuke's eyes darkened in the darkness of the room. Turning he laid on the bed to stare up at the ceiling his hands outstretched. He shook slightly looking to his hands. He hadn't thought of it so much, the chunins, he'd thought of everything else but that. Disgruntled he slammed his hand into his head to hear the door slide open. Throwing up a kunai not able to see he began, "who's there?"
There was a pause causing him to draw the kunai farther back to throw but stopped when he felt arms around his waist and a head on his lap. He questioned, "Kagome?"
She cried, "Don't get mad at me."
He looked down to her helping her stand confused eyeing her, "Kagome? What are you talking about?"
She raised her head to him the moonlight highlighting her tear filled eyes, "don't get mad…"
He stopped almost too over think what she had asked him. A momentary lapse came as she gripped onto him again, " don't be mad at me if I tell you, and don't stop me."
He demanded now, "just tell me!"
She looked into his eyes for a second then looked away. She whispered, "I'm going into the chunin exams…"
Stopping his lips quivers as his hands slipped from hers. He looked up carefully to the doorway seeing Miroku looking back at him. He had heard rumors of the chunins. He had remembered Itachi telling him of the chunins and his mother and father long ago. He had remembered everything that there was to remember, nightmares. Shakily he dropped his head to her; she had begged him not to be angry. Didn't she understand? Didn't she get it; didn't she get that, that wasn't the case? That it was concern fueling him not anger or hatred.
He gritted his teeth, now it was undoable, he was angry for her going over his head and for her preparing herself without consent to join the chunins, what if he'd have to fight her? Shakily he asked loudly, "What!"
