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.

Fidgeting she looked down at her feet as Tsunade talked to her, she wanted to know what she could do... She couldn't answer that. That would mean that her secret of being a miko would be thrown out into the open. Might as well slap a target on her forehead.
"Higurashi!"
"Sorry!" She jumped, "I specialize in medical herbs and poisons. Herbology is my main specialty though."
"No chakra?"
She shook her head, "I don't have any."
"I see. Where were you before Hatake found you?"
Her eyes widened, she was going to say in battle, but that was a no go. "I-I was traveling."
"Where from?"
"W-Well my village doesn't have a name, its just a village. Mainly farmers."
"Very well, where did you learn to fight like that."
"My Aniki," she smiled fondly.
"Your brother?"
"Yes. He was a skilled fighter, he wanted me to be able to protect myself if the occasion called for it."
"Obviously," Tsunade looked at the pen in her hand, "I just need a bit more before you can stay here in Konoha as a guest."
"I understand."
"You have no income whatsoever, how will you survive here?"
"This is where I come into hand," Kakashi took a step forward, "seeing as she helped me. I am returning the favor. Higurashi can stay with me in my apartment."
The look Tsunade gave him had Kagome blushing, "relationship status?"
"Mar-" Her eyes widened slightly before frowning looking down, "single."
"You were married?"
"Yes, he was killed in battle."
"Children?"
"Adopted, also deceased." She whispered her arms coiling around herself.
"I'm sorry," Tsunade said softly, "relatives?"
"Deceased as well.. To save myself from suffering, anyone who was close to me is dead. They all died in battle." She said.
"Understood, final part. If you wish to stay here in Konohagakure, what would you be able to do?"
"Almost anything."
"So you can be a teacher in the academy?"
"Generally I am well with children," she smiled weakly.
"I'll get into contact with Iruka, you can help him in the class room. The kids are getting rowdier now."
Nodding she bowed when they were dismissed, walking ahead of Kakashi she frowned. "Do you mind if I walk around? I'll find you when I'm finished."
"Don't stay out too late," he said watching her walk away.
...
She cursed herself, it was nightfall, she fell asleep after crying. Following Kakashi's aura she pushed her way through the crowded streets. This was new to her. Back in the past people hurried inside after nightfall. Huffing she turned down a alley way- mistake. She let a muffled cry go when a hand covered her mouth.
A/N: Yeah. I'm leaving a cliffy. ! How could you Author-chan! HAHAH! I've been planning this for a whole day now! HAHAHAH! That's evil laughing. I'm sorry. I've had a lot of energy drinks today. And. If you see any misspells please tell me. I don't proof read before uploading. xD I just do it. This is actually short. I don't know why either.
And yes. To answer a question in a review. xD She won't get in trouble with Tsunade. But with the world. Yes.
