Chapter VII

Explanation for Gender Confusion!

-x-x-x-

(Year 2002, Modern Era, Konoha)

"No...NO DAMN IT!" Kagome glared at the spot that the wanderer once stood, tears stung at her eyes as she fell from the hold around her shoulders, to her knees onto the hard ground. She punched her fists hard into the dirt; over and over and over, blood seeping from the inflicted wounds caused by her own misery.

"Kagome, stand now." Sesshoumaru said, stepping in her line of view. She stood up and nodded.

"I know, I'm acting childishly! I'm just angry..."

"As am I, but Miko...you cannot expect to win your battles through anger."

"Right, right...don't go all philosophical on me now."

"Hm,"

"Oh..." She turned around and bowed to Neji, "Thank you for blocking my fall." She turned to Tsunade and noticed the cold glare. "I suppose I owe you an explanation...but...maybe it could...wait till...later..." She fell forward as her energy was drained. Shikamaru, Ino, Sesshoumaru, Itachi, Deidara, Kisame, Sasori, Sasuke, Neji, Tsunade and Kakashi all stared at the girl turned boy who lay out cold.

"So...I was right." Shikamaru sighed. "You see, trouble...all women...are trouble."

"Shikamaru~! Shut up!" Ino popped him on the back of his head.

"She had reasons, not telling you."

"She might have, but you Kakashi...did not." Tsunade glared.

"She's my niece. If she wanted me to dye my hair blue, I probably would. The point is, she asked for me to keep this quiet, and so I kept it to myself. Not my curse to tell."

"Shouldn't we get her somewhere that she can rest?" Ino asked, moving to the fallen girl/boy's side.

"Yes, but keep in mind, she...is still a he...to all of you, until Kagome feels comfortable revealing her secret. So...he, him, his, guy, man and boy, are the only words you should use when referring to her."

"Him." Neji corrected.

"...right." Kakashi lifted his niece from the ground and started his trek back to his home. "I will inform you when he wakes, Tsunade."

Tsunade frowned and watched as Kakashi left, leaving her with four supposedly Ex-Akatsuki members, one cold hearted...man...and four of Konoha's best and youngest Shinobi.

"That man..." She glared at the spot Kakashi once stood. "YOU!" She pointed at Sesshoumaru, who quirked his brow before turning coldly away from her. "Where do you think you are going! I want answers! I wasn't dragged back here, forced to be the Hokage of Konoha...ONLY TO BE IGNORED!" She slammed her fist into the large tree next to her and the four kids jumped back in horror and shock.

"Woman...you will contain your anger, or I will remove you from your place as Hokage, and rid your shoulders of the supremacy you have that burdens you so."

"...I never said it was a burden..."

"Dragged? Forced? I was born and raised as a prince and into a Lord. You...have been in the position for little less then two years, and as such...you have no right to complain. I have ruled for 1000 plus years, you...don't come close to my reign. Stop complaining."

"..." With a graceful turn, his long white hair billowing in the gentle breeze, he took off, his destination unknown to the ones watching below.

"You eight, had better keep this, and Kagome's secret, to your self."

"...troublesome...I already had my suspicions though." Shikamaru crossed his arms behind his head and turned to walk back to the village. "Ino, come on."

"Ah, yeah right!" She followed, pulling Neji and Sasuke with her.

-x-x-x-

Sesshoumaru made his way back to his home. He new the wanderer, she would be back. The problem...was Midoriko...she in the end, was the cause of the curse...she was needed for the reversal.

His trip was quick, over the years, he and his family had stayed in the shadows, remaining the strongest, but keeping to themselves.

He landed in his yard, right in front of the large castle that he had lived in since born. Walking through the doors, he found Kagura asleep on one of the long sofas, a book limp in her hand, and sleeping towards the center of the couch lying with her head on Kagura's forearm, was his silver haired, red eyed baby girl. Yes, they had long since defeated Naraku, freed Kagura, Hakudoshi and Kanna, Hakudoshi left with his sister Kanna and he had lost contact with them, but she stayed...she stayed with him.

"Hey, you're back."

"Shippou, how were they?"

"Kazuhiko was dead set on following you. I had to pretty much follow him everywhere. Twice he had run outside of the castle grounds." Sesshoumaru smirked; his son was asleep in Shippou's arms, his head on his shoulder. Black hair fell over his eyes to his shoulders and golden orbs were hidden behind closed lids.

"How was Natsumi?"

"She stayed with Kagura the entire time."

"Hm,"

"So...how was she?"

"He's great."

"...huh?"

"Kagome...was changed into a boy...physically."

Shippou looked at Sesshoumaru, his eyes wide, he stared agape at his Lord. "...I...I see..." Shippou handed Kazuhiko to Sesshoumaru, sitting down he laid his head on the back of the chair. "Momma...momma is a...daddy..."

Sesshoumaru raised a brow at that. "She is still your mother, Shippou."

"I know that...it's just...unexpected."

"Hm,"

"When will I get to see her?"

"You can see her soon; for now however, we have a witch to find."

"About time,"

(Later that week)

Kagome came to; she looked around and noticed she lay in her room again. Sitting up she placed her hand on her head, massaging at a headache.

"Hey,"

"..." Kagome looked at her window; sitting on the seal was Neji. "Neji, how long have I been out?"

"You've been out for three days. Kakashi said it was because you were refurbishing your energy."

"He would be right. So...are you babysitting for him?"

"Something like that; he asked me to watch over you, while he talked with Tsunade."

"Ah...god..." She fell back onto her bed, Neji chuckled.

"Life seems to have crumbled all around you."

"No, life isn't so bad, trust me."

Neji was truly shocked by that. "You are a girl in a guy's body, and you are telling me that life is good?"

"Yes, I'm sure that there are others with worse situations then this. Mine can be reversed, but some people...don't get the same chance to reverse the terrible things in their life. Some people are forced to endure their torn up lives."

"You're strange."

"Heh, am I?" Kagome stood and made her way to her closet, not bothering with anything too complicated, she pulled out a pair of cargo's and a baggy top with shoes. Moving to remove her shirt, she stopped at the slight cough from behind her.

Neji left the window sill. "I'll wait in the living room."

"Huh?" She watched him leave, a blush painting his cheeks. "Uh, alright then..."

-x-x-x-

"So...you know next to nothing about your niece's condition..."

"Yeah, pretty much." Kakashi looked up from his book; his eyes looked over the irritated form of Tsunade.

Tsunade was staring at him, tapping her pen on the table with an aggravated expression on her face.

Her eyes turned to the window and she looked at Neji and Kagome who finally arrived.

"Sorry, I would have been here quicker...but I was asleep."

"So are you ready to explain?"

"...Mm, yes." She sat on the sill across from Neji. "It's really quite simple. At 15 I fell down my families well on our shrine, it took me 500 years to the past where I met many different people and...For lack of better words...creatures. We had traveled for a couple years hunting down both, a jewel called the Shikon no Tama that I had accidently broken up into many small shards over the earth, and a spider hanyou named Naraku. When we found him, we had already retrieved half the jewel, Naraku had the rest. We managed to defeat him and also got the remainder of the jewel, on our way back to the village, we intercepted an old woman. You saw her. She is known as the Wanderer of Ages...she had placed a curse on me that was meant to kill me, but Midoriko, one of the four souls that resided in the now complete Shikon no Tama, had saved my life. She changed the curse, to this...sadly, I haven't heard from her since, and she is the only one who can change me back."

"I see, you will need to explain in more detail though, but for now...I need a drink."

Kagome laughed, watching Tsunade pull a large Saki bottle from her desk drawer.

"Everyone out, it's my alone time."

Kagome nodded, "I figured, see you soon, Tsunade."

"Hopefully nottoosoon." She muttered, popping the cork and taking a swig.

Kagome left with Neji; Kakashi stared at Tsunade with a raised brow before stretching and leaving to read in the confines of some tree's branches.

-x-x-x-

Gaara looked down on the village; his brother and sister were talking to some of Konoha's Ninja Nine. He had been waiting for Naruto, but hadn't seen him since he arrived at the village.

"Hm," His eyes caught sight of Kagome and Neji, narrowing at Neji for a reason unbeknownst to him, he shook his head and vanished in a whirl of sand.
