Part 20: Innocent

Kagome was startled out of her thoughts as a puff of smoke appeared before her and a man in a mask stood before her. She blinked, ready to scream, but noticed he looked just as confused. He looked around, taking note of his surroundings. Scratching his head, he placed a hand on his hip, a little orange book tightly held in his hand.

"This is Sasuke's residence, or have I made some kind of strange mistake?" He asked, turning his eye towards her. She blinked at him some more.

"Y-Yeah, did you need him for something?" She asked and the man sighed.

"Nothing that can't wait, and what are you doing here, Miss Kagome?" He asked and she blinked at him some more.

"Do I know you?" She asked and he shook his head.

"Naruto failed to introduce us, I am Kakashi. Now, back to my question..." He said, plopping down on the bed next to her, studying her carefully as he pretended to wait for Sasuke's return.

"Oh, I've moved in with Sasuke. He's gone to grab us some food..." She said, warily watching him. She learned a while back she shouldn't trust people like him. He was studying her...

"I heard you were living with Naruto." Kakashi said and she nodded.

"I had nowhere to go, and he gave me a place to stay." She answered truthfully, he nodded and pretended to start reading his book.

"So, where are you from, Kagome?" He asked and Kagome smiled.

"I lived on a shrine for most of my life, one day I found myself lost and Naruto found me." She, again, answered truthfully.

"Have you tried contacting your family? Don't you miss your life back at home?" He asked and she shook her head.

"The shrine doesn't exist outside of my memories anymore." She answered and sighed. "Are you going to continue trying to find out my past, or are you actually waiting for Sasuke?" She asked and his eye closed, from beneath his mask she knew he was smiling at her.

"You're a smart girl. Why are you choosing Sasuke over Naruto?" He asked, bluntly. Kagome blushed.

"Naruto would have left me." She said and Kakashi suddenly looked serious.

"Oh?" He asked and Kagome nodded.

"You see, he's in love with Sakura-chan. Sasuke cares for me, I'd like to try a relationship with someone who isn't already attached." Kagome said with a smile, causing Kakashi to frown.

"Sakura is in love with your Sasuke."

"I understand that, but he does not love her."

"Sakura does not love Naruto."

"However, he loves her, and treats her much kinder than Sasuke does."

"And he treats you kindly?"

"Sometimes he's rough, but yes. He doesn't lie to me, either, in fact he's rather blunt. If I do not hold his interest, that's fine, because he'll tell me and we'll go our separate ways."

"Naruto would lie to you?" Kakashi asked and Kagome smiled.

"No, but he certainly wont tell me he'd rather have Sakura while he was dating me, would he?" Kagome asked and Kakashi nodded.

"Point taken." He said, standing up. "You do know Sasuke's past?"

Kagome nodded. "Naruto told me, and Sasuke has let some things slip. He has no intentions on going against the village again, I'm sure you're aware he's got Naruto looking into properties for us."

"You make it sound like you plan on sticking by his side."

Kagome nodded. "As long as he wants me, I'll stay."

"You're a strange girl."

"Says the man reading romance novels."

Kakashi blinked. "Excuse me?"

Kagome grinned. "Naruto had a copy of that. I read it. Romance novel with a few mature scenes."

Kakashi chuckled. "I think you're the first person who's seen the contents of this novel that has taken it so calmly. Are you sure you're not going to call me perverted?"

"Oh, you most definitely are, by the looks of that book. You read it often. You probably skip right to the good parts now, either that or you're a helpless romantic."

"...You are a strange girl."

"We've gone over this."

"Hasn't changed the fact that it's true."

Kagome shrugged as the door opened, Sasuke stepping in with a plastic bag draped over an arm. "Looks like we have company." He said, glaring at Kakashi.

Kakashi grinned and Kagome rolled her eyes.

"He was interrogating me for the dear Hokage's best interests." Kagome said and Kakashi snorted.

"I was questioning you out of curiosity, if you left Naruto he obviously did something wrong, however leaving him for his best friend seemed rather odd and spiteful."

Sasuke smacked Kakashi on the back of his head. "Kagome was never with Naruto to begin with, no matter how much Naruto would have liked it that way."

"Ah, so you went after her. I see, I see."

Kagome sighed. "Actually, he cornered me, kissed me senseless, and somehow I found myself moving in with him."

Sasuke nearly dropped the food he was preparing, and his cheeks took on a red hue.

Kagome pointed in amazement. "AH! He's totally blushing! Do you have a camera? I totally want a picture! How can you blush at that after the things you've said?"

Sasuke proceeded to blush more as Kakashi let out a chuckle.

"What kind of things have you been telling sweet innocent girls, Sasuke?"

"Shut up."

Part 21: Unwelcome

Kakashi decided the opportunity was just too good to pass up. "You didn't seem too upset to find your girlfriend with another man." He commented and Sasuke's eyes were immediately on him. "We were just discussing the contents of this book..."

Sasuke's lips curled into a snarl and his sharingan activated. "You will keep your perverted thoughts away from Kagome, do you understand me?"

Kakashi looked shocked. "Who said anything about being perverted, she happened to have read this book."

Sasuke frowned, turning his eyes to her, and saw her grinning. "You're finding me amusing."

Kagome giggled. "Damn right I am, you were just completely jealous beyond belief. Side note: the book is a rather interesting romance novel with some sex sprinkled in here and there. Naruto's got a copy."

Sasuke sighed, turning back towards the dish he was preparing.

"Kakashi if you don't have something important to say, leave." Sasuke grouched out and Kagome snorted.

"I think he should stay, you get flustered easier with someone else around. I wonder how you'd react if I told him a few of the things you've said the past couple days..." Kagome nearly purred.

Sasuke blushed and turned to her.

"What the hell did I tell you about teasing me?" He snapped. Kagome grinned.

"And you promised me something that nulls that conversation." She said. He groaned.

"Kakashi, if you do not leave I will resort to violence."

"You've something against me visiting? And here I thought we could have a nice chat, what, me being your former squad leader and all."

Kagome grinned. "So you were his teacher?"

"You didn't know? We can swap stories later, I'm sure you're curious."

"LEAVE!" Sasuke roared, throwing several kunai at the man. Kakashi, of course, dodged them.

"Now, Sasuke, you could have hurt me with those."

Kagome stood, grabbing the kunai and pulling them from the wall. "Sasuke, no weapons in the house." She snapped, obviously upset.

"Now look, you've gone and made her upset." Kakashi commented, earning a glare from both of them. He sighed. "Well, looks like I've overstayed my welcome. Naruto's found a place for you two, he said to come by in the morning."

Sasuke watched as Kakashi left, but his attention was brought to Kagome, who had just pulled the last kunai from the wall.

"Look at that wall, Sasuke!" She pouted, turning to him. "I don't want to live in a place full of holes, you know."

Sasuke smiled. She was sounding like a wife at the moment. Walking over, he pulled her to him. "Hai, hai." He said just before giving her a quick kiss. "Stop playing wife, Kagome, it looks too good on you."

Kagome blushed as she was pushed back on the bed. "S-Shut up, I'm j-just saying, I live with you now, I'd...what are...oh my.." She trailed off as he began to nip and kiss at her neck, hands on her hips.

It wasn't until she had a decent sized mark on her neck that he stopped, getting up to distract himself with making dinner.

Kagome just lay there, silent and panting, trying to will away the blush.

Back to that Time

A/N Don't worry R0o. I'll be doing KakaKag sometime. Lol

Part 22: I know...all your favorites

Kagome's smile was very mischievous, and it reminded Sasuke a lot of the nin-cats his family use to summon. He sighed, tossing everything into a pot and slowly stirring.

"So...what was that?" Kagome asked and Sasuke ran a hand through his hair.

"I'm...uncomfortable with others knowing." He grumbled, glaring at the food. "I'm not...known to be a friendly person, much less an...affectionate person."

Kagome raised a brow. "You didn't seem to have a problem with telling Naruto or Sakura."

Sasuke snorted. "Naruto had to know."

"And Sakura?"

"Is an idiot." Sasuke snapped, still angry about the entire thing.

Kagome stood from her place on the bed and walked over to him. "Is that what I think it is?" She asked, walking over. Sasuke let a small smile ghost onto his face.

"Hn."

"Oden!"
