"Oh my god! Do you ever wake up on your own?"
Sasuke opened his eyes to see Kagome hovering over him, looking pissed. He looked over at the clock, wondering what time it was.
8:35
Damn. No wonder she was mad. They were ten minutes late for training. Kagome HATED being late.
"Alright!" he said, getting up from the couch, "Sorry. I'll get dressed"
"You better!"
Sasuke waved her off and went upstairs to shower and change clothes. Kagome huffed and sat on the couch, tapping her foot impatiently. She wondered if she would have to go through this all the time. Maybe she could try and beat some sense into him. She was knocked out of her thoughts when Sasuke came down the stairs. He wore a black shirt and dark blue pants. He wore his normal ninja sandals. His kusanagi was strapped to his back.
"It's about time", she said, standing up and heading for the door, "Let's go!"
"Yes, Milady", he replied, mockingly bowing down in front of her. She glared at him before walking out of the door, Sasuke following right behind her.

"There you are! You slut!"
Kagome and Sasuke looked ahead to see Sakura snarling, pointing a finger at Kagome. Kagome raised an eyebrow, and then she calmly walked around the pinkette, ignoring the curses the girl sent her, and went to sit next to Neji. Sasuke, seeing that, growled a bit, and then went to sit next to Kagome, out of anger.
"Hi Neji", Kagome said to the Hyuuga prodigy, smiling, "Good morning"
"It is a good morning, now that I've seen your beautiful face", he replied, kissing her hand. She blushed and looked away, trying to calm down. Sasuke growled and yanked Kagome's hand from Neji. The pale eyed boy glared at the Uchiha prodigy, before looking away to talk to Shikamaru.
"Sasuke! You don't have to help that hussy!" Sakura yelled out. Kagome glared at Sakura, her blush disappearing in seconds.
"Who exactly are you calling a hussy, wench?" she asked the girl, standing up. Everyone around them quieted down to see what would happen.
"You obviously!" Sakura yelled, not knowing what she was getting herself into. Kagome clicked her tongue, and then shook her head. She always wasted time talking to this girl.
Everyone was so engrossed in the girls' argument, that they didn't see the figures heading for the training grounds.

"Hey fox-boy! What are they doing over there?"
Naruto looked to where one of his male companions was pointing, to see Sakura and Kagome fighting once again. He noticed Kagome had on something different than what she was wearing yesterday. She wore bandages around her breasts and stomach under a red, sleeveless, turtleneck shirt that barely covered her breasts. On her arms was a pair of black gloves that went to her elbow, along with her bracelet. Her long legs were covered by a pair of black pants that went to her ankles and hung down low on her hips. She had on black heeled sandals with red straps, and, of course, her ankle bracelet.
"Oh yeah", the Kyuubi container sighed, "Those two have been fighting for a few days now"
The three ninja behind Naruto looked at the scene ahead of them, recognizing the girl in front of the pinkette.
"What do you think Kagome is doing here?" the female of the three asked, "Well little brother?"
"Don't know", the youngest answered, not fully paying attention. Instead, he was focusing on the two girls fight. He wondered if Kagome had learned anything new.

Kagome eye started to twitch as she blocked out whatever Sakura was saying. She opened her eyes just in time to block a punch that was headed towards her face. Deciding that enough was enough, she figured she would use a binding spell to calm down the pinkette. Raising her hand, she started to say her desired spell.
"Bakudo #30: Shitotsu Sansen!", she called out. Three beams of light shot out from her hand, pinning Sakura to the ground, the lights slamming into Sakura's body in a perfect triangle. The blow to the head immediately knocked her out.
" Yeah! Take that Billboard-Brow!" Ino yelled, pumping her fists into the air. Kagome smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head. She turned, startled when she heard a familiar voice.
"Glad to see you improved your skills, Kagome."
Kagome's eyes widened, then a smile broke out on her face.
"Gaara!", she yelled, running to tackle the Shukaku container. He caught her in his arms, returning the hug she gave him. The young Kazekage noticed that the prodigies of the Hyuuga clan and the Uchiha clan were glaring at him. He smirked, he wasn't surprised to know that he had rivals for Kagome's heart. His thoughts were broken as he heard Kagome talk to him.
"How long are you going to be in Konoha, Gaara?", she asked him, still hanging onto his neck.
"A few months at the least", he replied, rubbing his hands on her back, earning growls from his rivals(1),"Don't worry. I'll make sure to spend some time with you while I'm here."
"Great", she smiled, "Temari , Kankurou, how've you two been?"
Temari laughed, saying she was just fine. She knew Gaara was in love with Kagome, and she thought it was cute. Her baby brother could actually feel love, even if it was for one person.
" I've been cool", Kankurou replied loudly, "I made some upgrades on my puppets. I'll show you later"
Kagome noticed the blush Tenten had on her face when Kankurou stood next to her. Maybe she had a crush on the puppet-user.
"I'd like that", she replied with a small smile on her face. Kagome let go of Gaara and walked over to Temari.
" Are you still singing?", the wind-user asked, putting her giant fan down, " Gaara always liked it when you sang"
"That's a damn lie and you know it", the Kazekage replied heatedly. Kagome laughed, knowing the statement was true. Gaara sighed and walked over to Kagome. He laid down, putting his head in her lap, smirking at the growls he earned doing the act. Kagome rolled her eyes before saying that she did sing often.
"C-could you s-sing something n-now, K-kagome-san?", Hinata asked her, afraid she would reject her question. Kagome looked at the girl, eyes soft and a smile on her face. She could help the Hyuuga heiress break out of that stuttering habit.
"Sure", she agreed, "If everyone really wants me to"
After hearing everyone's agreement, and a Yosh from Lee and Gai, started to sing something that suited Hinata's character.

she sang. Hearing everyone, minus Sakura who was still unconscious,
clapping, Kagome bowed the best she could with Gaara's head in her
lap.
"That was AWESOME!!!" Naruto yelled. Surprisingly, with all the noise, Sakura still hadn't woken up. Kagome stared at the pinkette for a minute. Kiba noticed this and asked what was wrong.
"I didn't kill her, did I?" she asked in disbelief. Kiba shrugged and told Akamaru to go and check her. The large dog went over to the unconscious and sniffed her arm. He barked towards Kiba once he was done. Kiba shook his head, "Nah. She's alive, just knocked out"
"Wow. Ok, Gaara get up.", Kagome told the redhead on her lap, "I'm leaving"
She got up, dispelled her attack on Sakura, and started to leave when Hinata spoke up.
"Um, M-miss K-kagome. C-could I c-come with y-you?" she stammered. Kagome looked her and smiled.
"I'm not going to hit you or anything", she told the timid girl, and "You don't have to be afraid of me. And, yes you can come with me."
"T-thank You", Hinata blushed, bowing slightly. Kagome looked at Sasuke and asked if he was coming. He shook his head, "I think I'll stay with the Dobe for a while", he said, smirking at Naruto when he started yelling. Kagome nodded and told Gaara to come find her later.
"Come on, Hinata. Let's go."

"You want me to train you?"
Kagome and Hinata had stopped in a sushi shop and started to talk. Hinata told her the reason she wanted to talk to Kagome in the first place. Kagome thought about, staring down at the table they were sitting at.
'I understand why her father is being harsh, but he's gone a little too far.', she thought, taking another bite of her tempura. 'If he wanted her to get stronger, then he should just encourage her a little.' She looked back at Hinata, who was patiently waiting for her answer.
"I can see where you're coming from, Hinata", Kagome started. She took a drink from her Raspberry Iced Tea before continuing. "Lord Touga does the same thing to his youngest son, Inuyasha. But, the way he does it is a bit gentler than your father does." Kagome stopped and thought for a moment. She wondered if she should use the methods Lady Setsuna (3) used on her. Kagome decided it would be better if she did.
"K-kagome? Are y-you okay?" Hinata asked, worried that the stronger woman would reject her request.
"I'm fine." the ambassador replied, "Anyways, I'd be happy to train you, Hinata. We'll start tomorrow at 11 pm. Is that alright with you?"
"Y-yes. Th-that's fine. Thank y-you, K-kagome", the heiress answered happily. Kagome narrowed her misty eyes, "We've got to work on that stuttering problem, though."
Hinata nodded, listening to every word that came out of Kagome's mouth. Kagome smiled and rose from her seat, Hinata following straight after.
"We'd better get going", Kagome stated, paying for their meal, "I've got a little date with Gaara tonight. You'd better get home and get some rest"
Hinata nodded and waved goodbye before heading home. Kagome waved back and turned, only to run into someone's chest. Kagome backed up and rubbed her nose. She looked up to see Gaara looking down at her, amusement evident in his eyes.
"Don't you dare laugh, Gaara. It's not funny.", she threatened. She wished he had warned her that he was behind her.
The Shukaku container just shook his head and grabbed her hand. "Come on. Let's go see a movie."
Kagome looked at a little bit shocked, but then she smiled and agreed. They went to the theater and went in and took their seats. They had gone to see Ninja Scroll(4). While the movie was going, Gaara looked over at Kagome, who was deeply engrossed in the movie. He noticed that she had gotten even more beautiful over the years. Yes, she was pretty at 12 years old, but the five years they had spent apart only enhanced her beauty. The Kazekage decided enough was enough and went for it. He took her chin in his hand, guided her head to his and kissed her(5).
Kagome was startled when she felt her head turning, but understood quickly when Gaara kissed her. His mouth attacked hers, while his tongue swept in to explore the territory of her mouth. Gaara put his arms around her waist, glad that they were sitting in the back, and pulled her closer. Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, moaning into the kiss. Gaara was the one to break to kiss. He pulled away, looking at Kagome's gorgeous, flushed face.
Kagome looked at Gaara, confusion riddled on her face.
"Why did you do that?", she whispered, remembering they were still in the theater.
"Because you are the only woman I could ever love.", he told her quietly. Kagome blushed and started to retort, but Gaara placed a finger on her mouth and told her not to speak.
"Don't worry. We'll talk later."
Kagome nodded and they watched the rest of the movie. Once it was over, Gaara walked Kagome back to the Uchiha Compound. At the front door, Kagome tried to talk again, but Gaara just silenced her with a kiss. When he pulled away, he smirked slightly.
"Good night Kagome", he told her, "I'll see you tomorrow."
He walked away, leaving Kagome staring after him. She didn't understand why so many men were vying for her attention.
'What is wrong with the men in the world?', she thought to herself, as she walked inside the house. As she headed towards her room, she snuck her head into Sasuke's. She spotted him on the bed asleep and closed the door, going to her room. She took off her clothes and changed into a white t-shirt and purple shorts. Kagome got into bed and sank into a dreamless sleep.
