Summary: After the final battle, she had wished upon the jewel. To bring the people she loved back. Selfish she was ripped away from her loved ones grasp. In a new world she was confused, they walked on water and wore strange clothing. But. None the less she had a task to finish there. She would do as so in return to her world with her loved ones.

Chapter 7; Konohagakure

They had stopped to take a break, these people were amazing. She smiled weakly towards Neji as he introduced himself, she wanted to walk away from them. She didn't want to let them down, once they found out that she failed her friends in the past who would want her around? Walking towards the river they were close to she knelt down at the water. It was so much like the past, the water felt like it too.

Feeling something pull at her senses she looked up then froze, it was the same male who had helped her get the blanket for Hatake. Glancing back at the group she smiled before returning her gaze on the giant male, jumping over the river she wasted no time to move closer to him.

"Its you! I want to thank you again for helping me out at the village," she saw him nod before turning, "wait! Whats your name?"

"Juugo," his voice was deep and yet sweet at the same time.

"Well Juugo-kun, thank you." She grabbed his hand holding it with both of hers, "I'm Kagome."

She noticed he had a slight dust of pink across his cheeks, he was blushing! "I must return to my friends."

"Be safe Juugo-kun!" She called out waving when he flickered away.

"Kagome-chan, what are you doing?"

She jumped quickly turning, it was Lee. Relaxing she placed a hand over her chest, "I thought I saw something."

"I see, we're going to camp here for the night. It would be safe if you stayed close."

Nodding she watched as he returned to his team, sighing she turned looking towards the way Juugo disappeared. Why did his aura seem troubled? Sighing she turned going back towards the group, jumping over the river she was glad that she didn't fall into it. Sitting down by it she was in content watching the water, her vision blurred slightly as she recalled doing this with her kit. They would sit by the water as they placed cherry blossoms in it. Hearing movement beside her she glanced towards it.

"Hatake-san, I'm glad you are moving well."

He just nodded, "tell me who you were before."

Blinking she returned her gaze to the water, her tone soft. "I was a simple student. Who by chance was granted with miko ki. I had fought to put a jewel together again, one I had shattered. With the help of close friends we accomplished that. Only... they lost their lives. I didn't. I was the only one to survive in the end, well expect our enemy. He and his minions. They thought they could over power the 'weak little girl'. They were fooled. I had slain them all. To leave him and I."

"Who is this?"

"Naraku," she spat the name out with such hate it surprised Hatake, "he thought if I lost my vision for a bit that he could claim what was rightfully his. He was fooled again. I stabbed the end of my arrow into his heart."

"You're blind?"

Shaking her head she unknowingly leaned against him, "I have my vision. Now. I am just an annoyance who cannot keep up with people such as yourself."

"You seem to have proven that you are not an annoyance," he said, "Lee won't stop bragging about how you managed to pin Gai down."

Shrugging she slowly felt herself fall into a slumber.

Jerking awake she looked around, she was in a room. It looked like a hospital room. Blinking she looked out of the large window in the room. So this was Hatake's village...?

"She's awake!"

She tensed up quickly getting out of the bed, glancing around she made hast to the door pushing pass the nurse running down the hall. She didn't want to be in the village, it would only bring suffering if she stayed here. Running out of the large building she froze looking around. She allowed her senses to open, she needed to find Hatake to tell him she wasn't going to stay in the village. She couldn't. Running down the dirt path she ducked and dodged citizens, they called her rude names as she did so. It didn't phase her.

She continued her fast pace, she knew she should slow down but she wanted to quickly leave. Seeing silver hair she quickened her pace, seeing that it was indeed him she slowed her run down to a jog. Hatake seem to have noticed her for he stopped speaking with the group of teenagers to walk to her.

"Why are you out of the hospital?"

"W-Why did you bring me here?! I will only cause trouble!" She cried out, "I didn't want to come here!"

She froze when he place a hand on her shoulder, "Higurashi. You are a rare person, you need to be protected."

Slapping his hand away she glared up at him, "I have protected myself for four years. I can continue to do it."

"Kakashi-sensei who is this?"

"Sakura, Naruto, Sai. Go."

"Hai Kakashi-sensei!"

She watched as the group flickered away, continuing to glare up at him she held her ground. "I don't need help."

"Higurashi, you are not use to this place. You didn't know that mikos did not exist here. You need protection."

"I'll fight you if I have to."

"I will win."

"JERK!" She yelled out pulling her hand back before snapping it forward.

A/N: HAHA! I left it at a cliff. It was getting a bit too long. And my mind tells me to continue to match it each time. ene So I ended it at a cliff. I went with the suggestions that reviewers gave the Twins. They wanted a independant Kagome, I gave them that. For now. HAHAH!
