"Kagome, do you think we'll be on the same team?" They were on their way to the academy to get their team assignments.

"Don't know." She stated blandly.

"Are you still mad at me?"

"I have never been angry at you."

"I was only helping you."

"You endangered the whole class."

"I would stop you." A frustrated growl escaped her as Kagome forcefully removed herself from Miroku's back causing the boy to fall harshly to the ground.

"Ita~" He groaned, rubbing his eyes to get rid of the kicked up dust.

"Miroku, you idiot, what of someone found out?" Her voice was soft.

"They will eventually Kagome-chan." Miroku picked himself up from the ground. "You don't think Totosai-san hasn't told the Hokage? Why else would Totosai-san let you come to the academy? Kagome you're lucky to be here!"

"Miroku-kun?"

"Kagome, stop worrying about everyone else! You have me, don't you? "

"H-hai Miroku-kun." She could imagine his misty purple eyes filled with hurt. "Gomen."

"Iie Kagome-chan! No need to get so serious. This is a happy time! We both passed the exam, we're genin. Today we move out from the orphanage!"

"Aren't you going to miss Totosai-san?" Just thinking of leaving the kind old man caused her heart to stop.

"Not really. The only thing he's really done for me is introduce me to you." Miroku knelt before her again and bumped her knees to signal her to get on his back. As they continued their journey to the academy Kagome pondered on her future. Would she become strong? How many people would she kill? For how long would she survive the shinobi world?

As if sensing her souring mood, Miroku bounced her, causing her to bite her tongue.

"Idiot." She smiled softly, resting her head on Miroku's purple clad shoulder.

If anything, she and Miroku would be together.

Said idiot began rambling again.

He wouldn't allow anything else.
