Sorry this chapter is short.
Chapter 10: Rin, kidnapped by the enemy!
Kakashi, Rin and Pakkun were all running from the enemies, for a day already. Each step they took, two more ninjas came. Kakashi was further ahead of them. He didn't want to risk the mission by running as slow as them.
Rin wasn't really paying attention to what was behind her. She focused more on trying to keep up with Kakashi. She felt something grasp her right foot. When she tilted her head she saw a sound ninja and screamed.
When Kakashi heard her loud shriek, he turned around to see that his teammate was captured by three sound ninja.
'Damn, there are so many!' Kakashi thought. 'There's no other choice, I have to use it!' Lightning formed on his hand. "This is it, Chidori!"
He had to use the Chidori once more, sure many of them were taken out but there were still too many. He tried to use the Chidori again but he didn't have even close to enough chakra.
"Pakkun, take these scrolls and go get help!" Kakashi commanded tossing him the scrolls.
The puppy nodded and ran off.
A sound ninja tried to follow the puppy but was blocked by Kakashi. "Where do you think your going?"
Soon Kakashi revealed his sharingan eye in hopes of turning this battle upside down.

Team 3 was already fed up. All these lame missions sucked. The last mission was unbearable, they had to test bear traps! Kagome used to always watch ninjas on TV. They looked so cool, mysterious, and strong. At first Kagome thought as soon as they got through these missions they would get the real ones, but no it was the same crap over and over again!
When they reported to the hokage that the mission was complete he searched for another mission they could do.
The hokage scanned the scroll for another D ranked mission. "Pick up cans and garbage from the river…"
"Ah, I'm sick of these lame missions!" Kagome yelled. "If I knew this was going to be my training, I just would have entered a 'Save the earth program'!"
Asuma and Kurenai both elbowed her. She shouldn't talk to the Hokage, Asuma's dad, like that, even though they secretly agreed with her.
The Hokage just sighed and pulled out a different scroll. "That's just how it works, Genin do D and low C ranked missions."
Kagome twitched and made a crazy face, "You've got to be kidding those are not missions. They are babysitting, dog walking, trash picking, playing with kids, root picking, doing people's laundry, fetching lost pets and testing out bear traps, I want something exciting!"
All of her team just stopped fighting her. They all new she had a point. Ari wanted to hit Kagome something but she held back from doing so.
"They are missions, missions so you can improve so you can gain more experience and do a higher mission." The Hokage explained. "Even though it's against the rules, I'll make you a deal, if you can do ten D ranked missions in three hours, I'll let you do a B ranked mission soon."
"Are you serious?! Thank you, thank you thank you!" Kagome beamed.
"Here's the catch, no help from your sensei and the test begins now." He added.
"Oh thank Kami!" Ari yelled out loud.
"Thanks!" Kagome and Kurenai said sarcastically in unison.
Asuma took the scroll of their missions. "Let's go team 3!"
00000000000000000
Kakashi wouldn't give up this fight, on his, his village, and his father's pride.
He took out half of them, maybe there was about seventy now.
He had the scrolls so his mission was complete. He could have run anytime. His mission was already carried out.
If he was his old self he would have just left Rin. Now he wouldn't do that because Obito seemed to be a part of his soul and his words always came to mind.
Every time that little part of him just wanted to leave, Obito's voice would ring in his head. 'Those who don't follow the rules and regulations are trash… but those who don't care about their companions are worse than trash!'
A sound ninja kicked Kakashi to the ground. "I'd kill you now but we still need you. You'll be the messenger. If they don't give us the scrolls in four days, we kill the girl."
With that said the remainder of the sound ninja took the unconscious wounded girl to a new base.
'I…failed.' Kakashi thought before he let his mind slip into darkness.

"Mission 1: Walk three large Great Dane dogs until they get tired." Asuma read.
"I guess we won't be able to do that be ranked mission huh?" Kurenai sighed.
Kagome tapped her chin thinking hard. "Don't count us out just yet, I have an idea."
They both looked at each other questionably but decided to put that aside and follow her.
When they each picked up the three large dogs, Kagome sat on the dog she was assigned to walk. "If we sit on top of them, they'll get tired faster and we'll still have energy for the next mission."
"Hey that's a good idea, but won't it hurt the dogs?" Kurenai asked.
"Nope these are strong dogs that are used to pulling heavy things on their back. Well, not all of its kind, but these were trained." Kagome smiled.
Kurenai could barely hear her because Asuma kept on laughing yelling 'This is so fun!' while riding his assigned dog. She just got on her assigned dog as well.
They ran for a while and the dogs finally started panting so they were returned.
"Mission 2: Deliver eight pounds of ramen to Akimichi Chouza" Asuma read.
"Mission 3: Paint over graffiti" he continued. "Mission 4: Pick fruits from an elder's tree."
"Should we split up?" Kurenai asked.
"It'll be faster. I'll deliver the ramen, Kagome you paint over the graffiti, Kurenai you pick the fruits, over there." He pointed at their stations, which weren't far from each other's. "When you're done meet back here." He stuck a kunai to the ground and they all jumped to their stations.
Asuma thought his mission was easier said then done… sure he could easily carry the heavy wait but every step he had to stop and wait for the liquid to stop splashing around.
Kurenai enjoyed her mission very much. The old woman even said she could have some fruits for her troubles.
Kagome on the other hand was pissed off at her mission. Painting over graffiti and drawings were one thing, but painting over pictures and mean words about yourself was aggravating.
She saw drawing of people hanging her and she had x for eyes, some pictures were graphic and she painted over the words that said, 'Kagome sucks', 'Rin is stupid.', 'Kakashi's so hot!', 'Itachi's sexy!', and all this other junk.
The first one done was Kurenai, she waited for her team. Thirty seconds later, Kagome came. Kurenai burst out laughing. Kagome had red paint on her nose and some white smeared on her face.
"What's so funny?" Kagome asked. She wasn't in the mood for humor right now. She just saw the scariest picture of her.
"You look like a clown!" Kurenai answered still laughing.
Asuma finally came and stared at Kagome's face. "What happened to you?"
"Well, first I tripped into white paint, and then I accidentally scratched my nose with red paint on my fingers." Kagome answered, she tried to take off the paint with water but it wouldn't come off. She needed soap. So she'd be the 'freaky girl' for today.
"Mission 5: Make a prince laugh." Asuma read, "It says that this boy hasn't laughed in a long time and ordered this village to humor him."
"Let's get this over with then." Kagome sighed.
They walked to a large building where the prince was waiting to be entertained. Once he was entertained he would go back to his kingdom.
When Asuma and Kurenai walked in the door they saw his deep pout and angered eyebrows. It made them gulp. As soon as Kagome went in he just glanced at her and started to laugh.
Kagome kept her emotionless face on and turned around, "Mission complete."
The little boy pointed at her, still laughing, "That's the ugliest girl I've ever seen!"
Kagome twitched and her aura spiked. She had to be held back by her teammates so she wouldn't pound the hell out of him.
The prince stood up to the refrigerator and pulled out two eggs. Then from his pocket he pulled out a slingshot. Before anyone saw it coming, he aimed the two eggs into each of her eyes. "You may leave now."
Kagome growled in her throat and wiped the egg from her eyes. "What's the next mission?!"
Asuma jumped but read the next mission. "Mission 6: Find a small golden locket, last seen in the sand box." He read over the other missions, "While I do that mission, Kurenai can do mission 8: accompany a busy man's son while he goes to the store. Kagome can do mission 7: Catch some fish for Ichiraku's miso soup. While you're there you can wash your face, just buy a soap bar."
Asuma found the locket easily.
Kurenai accompanied the boy while he bought groceries. It was kind of hard seeing as he kept on trying to buy toys and candy.
Kagome finally washed off all the white paint but the red paint just smeared everywhere, she caught many fish, but the problem was when she went back to the group, she smelt like fish.
Plugging his nose Asuma read the next mission. "Mission 9: Bring back Princess, another missing cat."
"Wait, when I was picking fruits, I saw that cat!" Kurenai announced.
"That's great let's go get her." Kagome said happily.
"Uh, it's a boy." Asuma corrected.
"What retard would name a boy cat princess?" Kagome asked laughing. "Either way let's get this over with."
They finally spotted the cat, he was sleeping on the corner of a fence, but when it heard them getting close it woke up and ran, he was very fast and wouldn't let anyone get close.
"This isn't working! We need some kind of bait." Kurenai looked over at Kagome, "Hey you smell like fish."
"I know you don't have to rub it in!" Kagome scoffed.
"No, Kagome you can be the bait! It's our only chance." Kurenai begged.
"Fine, but you owe me." Kagome said lying on the ground.
From inside her bag, Kurenai pulled out a paper fan and blew Kagome's fishy smell to the cat. When he came close enough, Kagome grabbed him and the three of them ran to return the cat.
"We're finally at the last mission!" Kagome exclaimed.
"I… don't believe it. Mission 10: Massage Aizen's feet. We have to massage that old man's feet, for an hour!"
Kagome paled. "Oh no, not me, I smell like fish, I was bait! I want to take a bath! YOU do that!"
Kurenai felt sorry for her friend. "Kagome, you go home and take a bath, we'll… massage, the guys feet." Kurenai said softly shivering at the word 'massage'.
"That's not fair!" Asuma groaned "What, why does she get a break?!"
"Asuma, she smells like fish and has red paint all over her, not a good combination." Kurenai explained.
"Why isn't that a good combination?" Asuma asked curiously.
Both Kurenai and Kagome blushed heatedly. "N-nothing, never mind that just let her go. I'll take the left foot you take the right. Kagome, we'll meet you here in an hour, be on time."
Kagome zoomed passed them. "Thank you, bye!"
0000000000000000
"This is so gross." Asuma grumbled under his breath.
Crack
Crackle
Snap
The old man moaned.
"Oh my god, I broke his foot!" Kurenai cried.
"No you didn't that was good, do it again, just like that." Aizen sighed.
'This isn't right, good thing Kagome isn't here.' Kurenai thought, in her opinion, Kagome was too young to hear this, or maybe she was just a pervert.
000000000000000000
After Kagome's bathtub was filled with warm steamy water, she took in her radio and put it on the sink's counter far away from water. She put in bubbles and bath salts. She did a little twirl before turning on her radio. It was so nice to take a bath when you were this dirty and smelly.
The water was so warm it made her have a hint of a blush on her face.
She liked the songs that were playing. Occasionally she daydreamed about being Kagome Hatake or Kagome Uchiha, Hatake being her first choice. Her life right now was so comfortable.
Kagome didn't even realize that she had gotten too comfortable and fell asleep.
A loud bell was heard, that was what woke up Kagome. She shivered, the water was freezing. She looked at the clock on the wall. "Oh no, I only have ten minutes to get ready!" She quickly drained the water and put the shower on. Then she put shampoo on her head while scrubbing the soap anywhere on her body. Once the soap was rinsed away she put on conditioner, and then she rinsed that off as well.
When she was done in five minutes, she quikly put a towel around her body and ran in her room to change. It was a good thing she set up her clothes before taking a bath.
She had thirty seconds to meet her team, but it took ten minutes to run there. Hopefully they'd wait for her.
'Yes they waited!' Kagome cheered in her head. Her smile disappeared when she saw the serious look on their faces. "What happened?"
"You didn't hear that bell?" Kurenai asked. "One or more ninjas have been kidnapped."
"Also Kagome, you're late. If we don't get to the hokage's office in four minutes, we don't get that B ranked mission!" Asuma snapped.
Kagome gasped and grabbed both of their hands and hauled them to the hokage's office.

"We made it!" Kagome yelled. She looked at the hokage who was talking to a small brown puppy seriously. 'Is he crazy?'
"Good, a new B ranked mission has come today. Kagome, when I sent you on those ten missions you didn't participate in one at all." The hokage said folding his fingers together. "While Kurenai and Asuma were doing mission ten you were taking a bath, correct?"
Kagome gulped, "Y-yes,"
"For that, you won't be aloud to go on this mission until you master two of your jutsus. I'll be nice enough and let you choose them, dismissed." The hokage said boldly.
Kagome was looking down shamefully the whole time, when he dismissed her she bowed and ran home to master two new jutsus. Was this a blessing in disguise?
When Kagome left the building Kurenai stepped up for her friend. "That's not fair, she had to jump in a river to catch fish and we made her bait."
"I know, but if she's going on this mission she needs to know some jutsu. Kakashi and Rin, her other team mates, are the best chunin here and according to Pakkun, they were defeated, or about to be defeated." The hokage explained.
"Kakashi is her team mate? That's why it was a secret." Kurenai announced smiling. "She'll be happy to hear that."
Asuma didn't pay attention much to what Kurenai just said. "So father, who else will be on this mission, if the enemy is as strong as you say, there should be more squads,"
The hokage smiled. "You're as smart as ever, I'll also be sending team 9 (Gai, and two of the girls that tried to 'attack' Kagome, you pick them, if you want you can even give me two names.)
"Wait, how did you know we would let Kagome take a bath?" Kurenai asked confusedly.
"I didn't, if you guys didn't let her take a bath, then I'd tell her that she'd have to stay and train for suggesting riding the dogs." The Hokage answered.
"Oh okay." Kurenai said nervously, she forgot that he had this crystal ball thing.
"Now go do your mission." The Hokage dismissed.
They both nodded and set off to the gates. The other group will be sent as soon as they were summoned to the hokage's office.
00000000000000000
Kakashi rested against a large boulder. He needed to regain his chakra if he was going to face ALL of those ninja again. Hopefully, Pakkun already made it to the village. If not, he would save Rin on his own.
He still couldn't believe he couldn't defeat them. There was a lot, if he had just a little more chakra he could have beat all of them.
0000000000000000000
Kagome sighed looking through her jutsu, she chose the two she wanted to master, but she couldn't so she kept on training.
All of a sudden Ari, in a puff of smoke appeared before her. "Oi, I was sent to help you."
Kagome looked down. "Fine, I need help learning these two."
When Ari looked at them she laughed. "This one looks so easy! This one looks hard… but really cool."
Kagome nodded, she thought both of them were cool, that's why she picked them.
Ari motioned Kagome to copy her movements. "Let me see you do the hand sign."
Kagome perfectly made the correct signs.
Ari nodded "Do them again, and again, and again… no you missed one! Try again, continue doing them, yeah, again, don't stop there, okay perfect! The hand signs are good now when you do them, close your eyes. When you sense the presence of your attack, release some chakra."
Kagome did as she was told and shots of fire or ice was made whichever she wanted.
Ari grinned with satisfactory. "Now for the hard one, let's see, Kagome, sorry but you can't use this one yet. You haven't found your partner yet?"
Kagome scratched her forehead. "My partner, what do you mean by 'partner'?"
Ari chuckled while she talked. "I can't tell you that… then you'll just pick your partner randomly. I'll tell you when I see you have the right partner."
Kagome let a strained sigh out, "Fine, I'll go find another jutsu." When Kagome found another pretty cool one, she showed it to Ari.
Ari read some important parts in the scroll. "This one is…" (You'll have to find out in the next chapter. : P)
0000000000000000000000
Asuma and Kurenai ran from tree to tree in a hurry. Not only did they sense Kakashi's low chakra, but Kurenai had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, and in these situations Kurenai's predictions were quite accurate.
"Hey Asuma, what's that?" Kurenai yelled in a whisper voice.
Asuma looked in the direction she was looking at. It was a walking shadow. "That's… Kakashi isn't it?"
Kakashi flash stepped in front of them. "Hi, where is the rescue team?"
Kurenai clenched her fist, obviously offended, but her face didn't show it at all. "We are the rescue team."
Kakashi slapped a hand across his forehead. "They only sent two genin for this mission?"
"Actually, Kagome and a jonin are also coming, but Kagome broke a ninja rule I guess so she has to learn two new jutsus before coming." Asuma answered. He looked behind Kakashi, nobody was there. "By the way, where's Rin?"
"She was kidnapped by the sound ninja. I wasn't strong enough to save her." Kakashi looked down shamefully. "There are too many ninja to fight. You are just genin."
"Team 9 is coming and Gai is pretty strong. We can beat them and save Rin." Asuma assured. 'Gai' and 'pretty' don't belong in the same sentence.'
"They want a trade, Rin for the scrolls." Kakashi finally said. "The offer stands in three more days."
Kurenai shook her head. "We can beat them! Just rest now, until team 9 gets here."
"What about Kagome and the jonin?" Kakashi asked. "I thought they were coming, shouldn't we wait for them too?"
"We shouldn't wait for her though, she has to master two jutsus and… well let's just say her ninjutsu is horrible. She might not even get to come on this mission." Asuma sighed. 'Life is getting so troublesome now-a-days.'
Soon after that was said Gai came.
Gai zoomed in front of them doing his 'good guy pose'. "Are you ready to let the power of youth explode?!"
"Where's the rest of your team?" Kurenai asked searching around.
A stream of tears fell down his cheeks. "They don't have much youth in them… they decided to walk a while ago."
The three of them sweat dropped.
The two girls finally came, and they were all already fueled up and ready to fight.
00000000000000
Kagome and Ari were on the way to help the others on the mission, they stopped when they saw a village being destroyed by some sound ninja.
"Kagome, you go help the others, I'll help the village!" Ari commanded.
"Ari-sensei, I don't think…" Kagome started.
"Kagome, you're ready, you've trained a lot today." Ari comforted. "Now go to your teammates, something tells me that things aren't going so well."
Kagome nodded and ran to find her team. She heard a rough voice and stopped to hide in a bush. She looked through the leaves and saw all the teams tied up to logs.
"So, did you brats bring the scroll?" A sound ninja asked one of Gai's teammates.
"N-no, why would we?" She asked right back, tears flowing from her bruised face.
"So we won't have to kill you!" The sound ninja answered slapping her across the face with lots of force.
'Hang on, help will be coming soon.' Gai told her in his head, too bad she couldn't hear.
"Hey, if they don't have the scroll, we might as well kill them now, I mean the time limit is in a few minutes." Another sound ninja suggested.
"Fine, everybody listen, there are only seven of them, and we each want a piece of them so, for every brat is sixteen of us!" The leader announced, and all the sound ninja charged forward.
They all stopped when a girl appeared before them.
"Who are you?!" A sound ninja snarled.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi. Remember my name because that is the name of the person who will kill you." Kagome answered with a smirk. "I usually don't like hurting people but anyone who hurts my friends, will be hurt by me, 1000 fold!"
Yay! It's finally time for Kagome to kick butt! Sorry it took me sssooo long to update but my laptop's internet connection was disconnected AGAIN! Well, anyway I'd like to thank Natsumi for all her help, and all you reviewers.
