Since I got my five more reviews even though some were probably to protest my last note, it still counts. People who have reviewed, I will reply as soon as I can. For some reason, you people's reviews aren't getting to my inbox. I find it really sad. Well for this computer, if it isn't one thing, it's another. Well here is the new chapter people have been waiting on. Gomen but it will probably be short.
Chapter 9
Kagome's Pov
I awoke with the best night's sleep I had in awhile. I smiled at Naruto's affections last night. The ball was in two days and it will be held in the castle at least a few minutes away from the village's outskirts. I got up and went to take a bath. I sat soaking in the warm water thinking of commands to give the Akatsuki. 'If worse comes to worse, I can hide out with them. Didn't the Hokage say something about an Orochimaru guy that she wants dead? That will be their mission! Okay I might want to get out before I shrivel up.' With that I got up and dried myself off. I got dressed in a black and red training outfit and black slippers. I attached my bow and arrows Sesshomaru left for me to my back and headed down to fix breakfast. Sasuke left the house before me. I had a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and tea. I locked the house and went to the special place I had found earlier.
I set up different targets and got in a comfortable position and strung my bow. I knocked an arrow and took aim. My miko powers filled into the tip and started glowing bluish silver. I shot and it destroyed three targets. I did this until I ran out of targets. I heard a rustle in the bushes and strung another arrow. "Come on out, I know you're there." Then a boy that surprisingly looked similar to Gai came out. He looked sheepish and scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Sorry to interrupt you, but my name's Rock Lee. You're beautiful, would you be my girlfriend?"
My eye twitched. He's almost like Miroku! "Sorry, but I'm spoken for. My name's Kagome," I lowered my arrow and three other people came out. Gai along with, I'm guessing, his other students. The only girl had her hair in two buns and had a pink Chinese shirt on with green pants and the customary headband and sandals. The other had long, black hair with white eyes. He was wearing a white shirt and black shorts. He had bandages on his right arm and leg. He also had customary ninja wear. Both had weapon holsters on their right leg.
"NEJI, TENTEN, my youthful teammates, this is Kagome." Gai looked at me with a glare and kept quiet.
"So you're the new jounin. It's really a pleasure to meet you. I'm Tenten." The girl said with admiration in her eyes.
"Well you certainly don't look strong, how did you beat the jounin ninjas?" the boy called Neji asked.
"Because I am way stronger then the jounin. I'm guessing you're a Hyuuga?" he nodded. I smirked and thought to get on his nerves. "By the looks of it, you're cadet branch. How's the curse mark anyway?" Neji looked at me and attacked. I mentally cheered. From the talks I had with Naruto, Neji didn't get mad easily. I dodged and kneed him in the stomach. He kneeled over in pain. I did my own paralysis on him and took off his headband. I did a few signs and put my finger on the middle of the mark. It slowly disappeared and his forehead was clear. He stared wide-eyed at me and I gently laughed.
"Now you are free Neji. But be true to your self and friends. Oh and if you want, I can talk to the fool Hiashi to make him remove everyone's curse mark." He nodded after I released him. Neji actually had a smile and bowed.
"Arigatou Kagome-sama. I'm grateful." I smiled and slinked into the foliage and went to the Hyuuga district. They jumped at my presence since no one has been able to sneak in. I went straight to the main house and Hiashi confronted me.
"Who are you and what do you want?" he demanded.
"I'm called Kagome and I'm here to discuss your nephew, Neji."
"He is not here at the moment. Why do you want to discuss him?"
"It's about the curse mark. It was removed as of today and I was the one to do it. Also I was wondering about the other people that were branded. It will get around and it might end up causing a civil war if you don't let them get it removed." He blanched at the thought of a civil war.
"What do you want?" he sighed, obviously tired.
"Bring all cadet members to me and I'll remove their curse marks and I want you to promise to NEVER put another curse mark on another human being. You also will make it a law and also merge as a family. No more main and cadet branches. Do you get all that, Hiashi?" I said with a dangerous glint in my eyes. He nodded slowly, knowing it was not to be taken lightly. He called the elders and cadet members. I set off to remove the marks. Everyone thanked me over and over again. I nodded and smiled. Hiashi's daughter, Hinabi, looked at me with hate, while the other was looking with admiration. The elders look at me with fear and awe.
The eldest daughter came up shyly. "M...Miss Kagome?"
"Yes Hinata?"
"C…could you p…possibly help me with a p…problem?"
"Yes if you can stop stuttering," I said with an amused look on my face. She blushed and fiddled with her fingers.
"C…could you t…train me physically and m…mentally?"
I nodded my head and she smiled. She thanked me and walked away to find Neji. Then the elders came.
"Who are you to remove the curse mark with out our permission? I demand to know your position," the eldest of the elder asked rather harshly.
I spoke with an edge in my voice, "If you happen to know, I'm younger sister to King Sesshomaru and a highly trained demon-ninja. I can do as I please. But it's wrong to separate people and also brand them without THEIR permission. Now if you excuse me, I have to go." Then I disappeared into a black blur.
I ran until I found Naruto, who was conveniently found at Ichiraku. I was hungry and oden sounded good right now. I sat next to him and order. I slightly drooled at the smell of oden cooking. Naruto slurped up the remaining contents of his miso ramen and looked at me.
"Kagome-chan, you're drooling. And you look quite happy with yourself so what is it?" he said with a bemused look.
I looked at him after wiping my slobber up. "Sorry Naru-kun, you're going to have to talk to Neji or Hinata for that. But I was drooling because I LOVE oden."
"Fine, can I get another bowl?" both orders were placed in front of us and we dug into it. When we were done we had five bowls each. I patted my stomach in contentment.
"Well Naruto, I have a dress to look for, so I will see you later, ne?"
"Sure, see ya." We went in separate directions. I went to every shop but didn't find one I liked. Wait, there's a shop I didn't see. It was a normal little shop but it had a barrier around it that only demons can see. I went in and it was filled with clothing. I went to the back. 'Well I found where Naruto buys his clothes at.' I snickered. In front of me was a shelf with orange outfits with different colors on them. Then a old neko youkai came out and said in a raspy but some how pleasant voice, "Well looks like I have a new customer. Who are you, my dear?"
I smiled and bowed, "My name's Kagome and I'm here for a dress for the upcoming ball. What's your name?"
She also smiled and said, "Arwen, now let's get you sized, shall we?" she pulled out a measure and measured my height, waist, and arms. She then asked me what colors I wanted it to be. I said white. She brought out a floor length dress that hugged my curves when I tried it on. It was made up of silk and was strapless. It flowed down instead of being poofed out. It had a slit in the middle. But it showed a piece of black that held it together. It came topped off with a white shawl made of warm but light material. I thanked her, paid for the dress, and left. Once at the manor I stowed it away until the day. I then went to the Akatsuki headquarters and they greeted me.
"Hey guys, I finally have a mission for you to do. Itachi, Kisame, Zetsu, and Tobi, you guys will find and kill Orochimaru. Bring me his body. Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu, and Matsu, you will stay close to the castle just in case any Sound ninja come, understood?"
"Hai!" came the chorus of voices. Itachi came up and asked, "Why do you want us to bring you the body?"
"Because Itachi, I need to purify it so he doesn't come back to life or become reincarnated." He nodded at her words. "Oh and Tobi? Come here for a second." He walked over, a little nervous, and stopped ten feet in front of her. "Closer than that, I don't bite…much." By now he was shaking and the other members were barely holding in laughter. He stopped when he was a few inches from me. I reached my hand up and took off his mask. I gasped. His remaining eye was of sharingan and he had no left eye. "You're Obito, Kakashi's old teammate. I thought you were dead?"
"I was counted for dead, but Zetsu found me and took care of me. Sorry Itachi-san I didn't tell I was an Uchiha. I just didn't want you to kill me like everyone else."
"Wait, you killed the Uchiha clan?"
"I did it only because they were about to sacrifice Sasuke to summon a demon! I couldn't let them do that to my brother. Besides, he needed to get stronger anyways."
"Fine, have it you're way. But I am telling Sasuke AND Kakashi. I also will try to get pardons for everyone. Yes I know that requires revealing this whole scheme but I think it's for the best."
"You're mostly likely going to be killed. But we will stand by you and your choices," Itachi relented.
"Okay, now go to your missions tomorrow. And I work on the pardons tomorrow. Now get some sleep. Wait, Obito, come here." he did and I put my finger to his left eye socket and concentrated my powers. My hand glowed blue and his eye was there again. With that I stepped out. I ran the way to Kakashi's apartment. I dodged the kunai thrown and said, "Kakashi, guess who I found?" he came out without his mask. I blushed because he looked HOT without his mask. (He really does! I found two pictures like that. I will try to make a link in my profile)
"Does the name Obito ring any bells?" his mouth opened in shock.
"You couldn't have found him. He's dead, crushed by a boulder."
"Well, the Akatsuki found him and nursed him back to health. He is anxious to see you."
"Wait, how do you know?"
"I'm the newly dubbed leader. The old leader had me kidnapped and I killed him. Oh and tell ANYONE about this, I will make your life miserable." I then sped down the streets and to my room. I laid on the bed and fell asleep.

Well it wasn't as short as I thought. Only 5 pages long and I'm proud. But I'm really sorry to say that this story only has two more chapters. Do not kill me because that will give me time on my other stories. And also lets me start on other Kagome/any male from Naruto pairings. Oh and a warning. People who want to see Eragon in theaters, DO NOT READ THE STORY BEFORE YOU GO. The idiots who made it butchered it so bad, nothing made any since. But the people who played Eragon and Murtagh are cute or hot, whichever one you would like to say.
