Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Naruto
A big hug and thanks to all my readers!
It has been decided! Squad 11 consists of: Inuyasha, Nara Kagome and... Sai. Add the level-headed Renkotsu and you have yourself one crazy team. :)
But don't worry: Bankotsu will be in the story! I like Kagome Yuki Niwa's idea of him being a rival for Kagome's love...
Also, there are going to be a lot of people who don't get paired up with anybody, so... :)
'Typical,' was Renkotsu's initial thought as his sharp gaze focused solely on his silly, little student, 'she gets caught in a questionable situation and she still has the gall to smile.' The man cleared his throat. "Kagome, do you have any idea what time it is? Does your father know you're out this late?"
The smile on Kagome's face straightened into a frown. "Yeah, he does. He sent Shikamaru after me to make sure I didn't run into any trouble."
"Is that so?" Renkotsu muttered as he quirked an eyebrow before sparing Naruto a glance. "Well, from what I see, your big brother didn't do a very good job at doing what your father asked him to do."
"I'm not—" Naruto tried to protest when Kagome beat him to it. "No Renkotsu-sensei, you have it all wrong! Naruto-kun here just saved me from being stuck in a really awkward situation with Inuyasha!"
"Inuyasha?" the bald man repeated. "Did you two get into another fight?"
"Not necessarily," muttered the blue eyed girl as she looked away from her sensei. A darker set of blue eyes landed on her. "Do you and Inuyasha fight a lot?" Naruto questioned, not really expecting that bit of information. Then again, Shikamaru had told him once that Kagome had a temper that rivaled Sakura's...
"More so than you can even imagine," answered Renkotsu for her as he recalled all the bickering and arguing and drama... He then brought the conversation back to its main point. "So, Kagome, if Naruto-kun saved you like you said he did, then why was he leading you in the opposite direction from where you live?"
Kagome didn't have an answer for that. So, she turned towards Naruto, hoping he did.
The blond began to sputter. "Uh... bad sense of direction?"
"Obviously," snapped Renkotsu before flashing out of sight, the two teenagers still in his grasp.
"Dad, Kagome's gonna freak out if she sees you glued to the window like that."
"I hope she does. Maybe that'll teach her a lesson of going out late at night," was Shikaku's response before he spared his youngest child, who, like Kagome, looked more like his wife than him, a glance. "Shouldn't you be in bed?"
Nara Souta sighed and he too looked out the window. "Yeah. But I heard Shikamaru walk in a couple a minutes ago without sis. It kinda worried me."
"Yeah, your brother doesn't do a very good job at listening to your old man," Shikaku muttered before putting some thought into what Shikamaru had told him when he had walked into the house.
'Before you bite my head off, know that I'm tired, Kagome said she'll be back in a few, and the next time you want to send a spy after her, you can send Souta.'
"Hey Souta," the Nara patriarch began when Souta's eyes suddenly widened before the young boy squinted.
"Dad, look! Isn't that Kagome's sensei?"
Shikaku looked.
And sure enough, there, outside his door, was Renkotsu, holding both his daughter and the nine tails jinchuuriki, Uzumaki Naruto.
