I do not own Inuyasha or Naruto
Chapter 9
"Let's get this party started!" Kagome exclaimed, bumping her fist in to the air, dancing around in excitement, Naruto joined her.
"Well if we are all set lets" Kakashi started but was interrupted by Kagome
"Before we go I have a few things I need to do" she said and sat down in a meditative position. Kagome put her hands together in front of her chest and started mumbling something incoherent. soon she was engulfed in a bright pink light, as she slowly parted her hands the group could see what was emitting the light. It was a pink orb, no bigger than a marble, floating between her hands. As she stopped mumbling and went to grab the orb it turned from a bright pink to a deep purple.
"There" she said and stood up
"What is that" Naruto asked looking to the hand with the orb in
"This is a part of my power" Kagome said, "It's filled with my inner energy and it's called a youki orb"
"How are you able to do that" Sasuke asked, amazed that she had so much power she could actually give it a physical form
"Well it was far from easy, I have been training on this for about 150 years and I still have yet to master it" Kagome answered without thinking. As she looked up she saw the groups confused and amazed faces.
"What did I do now" Kagome asked when she realized what she had said, "Oh shit you were not supposed to know that, damn it" she started to back up and take on a defensive stance.
"Kagome" Kakashi said to get her attention "How can you be over 150 years old when you look no older than 20?" he asked as he took a slow step towards her
"It's none of your business!" Kagome shouted, "Stay away from me!" grabbing for her sword
"Woah easy there Kagome, we don't want to hurt you, we are just curious. We have encountered people that have been over 100 years old but they looked the part" Kakashi explained, backing away. This took Kagome by surprise.
"Wait you only think my appearance is weird and not my age?" Kagome said
"Yeah, I mean you look so young, how old are you anyway?" Naruto said and got smacked by Sakura
"You idiot you don't ask a lady how old she is" She shouted
"Oh, no its okay, I'm about 230 years old, I think" Kagome said, "I stopped counting at 200" she scratched the back of her head with a goofy grin. She did not get the response she thought she would get. Unlike every other human that knew her age this group just started laughing.
"230 years old and you still think you can beat me in a race" Naruto said, still laughing
"you are going to eat those words young man. Don't you know anything about respecting your elders?" Kagome said, loosening the grip on her sword
"So, can we get this race going?" Naruto said
"Just one more thing" Kagome said as she closed her eyes and placed her hand on her chest, "change" she said and as she said so her clothes started to glow and they were indeed changing. Her beautiful kimono was replaced with black ninja pants, tied at the feet with grey cloth pieces, and a black tank top with a loose red shirt over. Her swords disappeared and her hair was now in a high ponytail.
"How do you do the things you do" Naruto voiced the thoughts of the whole group
"Well Naruto, if you beat me I might tell you" Kagome said winking at him
"so, Kagome, what are you going to do with the orb?" Kakashi asked to get her attention and get the race going
"I am going to give it to Pakkun so I can track him. I could track him with scent but in a new village the smells are going to be too many and strange and that will only confuse me and I cannot sense him like you can so this is the only thing I can do to track him in an unknown village"
"Ah I see, well then here are the rules, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura will work together and you Kagome will work alone with some disadvantages, like me and the fact that the village and the road there is strange to you. The first team to find and capture Pakkun is the winner. When Pakkun is caught, he will be summoned to the loosing team and tell them where to find the winning team. Is that clear?"
Everyone in the group nodded. Kagome gave Pakkun the orb and the she lined up with the others.
"Get ready" Pakkun said
Kagome put her hand on Kakashis shoulder and whispered, "Get ready"
"GO" Pakkun said as he disappeared in a cloud. As soon as he was gone so was Kagome and Kakash"
"What the hell? Where did they go?" Sakura exclaimed when she realized Kagome and Kakashi where nowhere in sight
"That does not matter we have to get moving!" Naruto said and started running
Sasuke sighed and dragged Sakura along as he ran after Naruto.
Hope you enjoy!
