COUPLES HAVE BEEN DECIDED:

Gaara & Kagome – Main Couple

Sasuke & Naruto – This one will be amusing in the way it develops. Not Yaoi at first.

Sango & Deidara – I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to get the pair to meet, but they will.

Hanabi & Hikaru Tsuki – Hikaru is from the 3rd movie. A young prince worthy enough for a 'Hyuuga' to marry. Lol.

Gekkou Hayate & Uzuki Yugao – The referee examiner person at the Chuunin exams preliminaries. He had the cough. Yugao was the one crying when he was killed, has purple hair and was an ANBU much like him.

Ino & Shikamaru – Yes, I kept at least ONE original pairing. I just think they even each other out...in a weird...sort of way.

Itachi & Hinata – Do I need a reason? No!

Ayame & Kiba – Like you didn't see that one coming. If Kouga isn't there, she has to have SOMEONE with that cute wolf/dog like features. He has fangs so it's close enough. Lol.

Anko & Izumo – Izumo is actually one of my favorite characters. Hehe.

Kimimaro & Tayuya – They look cute together. Humph!

Sakura & Sai – If things go accordingly, he should meet at LEAST Kagome and Itachi.

Neji & Tenten - ...say, does anyone know if Tenten has a LAST name? Alright, I lied, that's TWO original characters on the most likely list in Naruto.

Miroku & Temari – Pervy has an official excuse for his Pervert attitude. He was raised in the Red District Area. Hehe.

Genma & Shizune – Also cute together.

Most if not all of these couples, can be found on Photobucket. Don't add the '&' though. Just type their first names with a space.

THE REASON I'M TELLING YOU: I don't want complaints about not liking a couple in the future. If you want me to change or switch pairings around, give your suggestions and I will think about it.

This will be off a little because I don't feel like rewatching...shit...i don't want to know how many episodes.

Lesson One, Team Work – Pass or Fail

-x-x-x-

Kagome lay awake with her head on Tobio's chest, Tobio was holding both her and Naruto close as he slept hard on the blanket covered floors. Naruto was curled up asleep with one leg over Sakura's arm that lay near, but not all that close. Kagome moved gently and analyzed her living room. Miroku, Sango, Ayame and Kimimaro were still not back. Sasuke and Sai had left through her window, waking her from the light sleep she had been in. Making her way outside silently, she moved to the roof and saw them lying on their backs asleep. Noi lay curled up in Sai's arms, having taken an immediate liking to him, and oddly enough, to Sakura as well.

"Kagome?" She turned to Sasuke who was staring in surprise at her. "Did we wake you?"

"Mm, you guys know, those three wont wake if you talk normally, just don't go yelling. The only one who would wake up with whispered words in Naruto, and that's only if the subject being whispered is the R word."

"Hn," Sasuke smirked at the publically known truth in his sisters' words.

"So, what are you two doing up here?"

"Just getting some fresh air,"

"Cool. The wind..."

Kagome turned to Sai and with a smile, she sat next to Sai and laid her head on his chest, he didn't even move or glance down at her. His eyes were transfixed on the veil of darkness engulfing them from above. Sasuke lay back down and took Kagome's hand in his, lacing his fingers with hers. Both boys lay contently as her breathing stabilized and she drifted into a light and dreamless sleep. Only the warmth of her reality comforted her throughout the calming darkness in which she slept.

-x-x-x-

Kagome was woken by a sudden cry of fear, jumping out of her sleepy stupor, a hand covered her mouth and she felt her eyes widened until she noticed it was Sai. Sasuke was next to them and the three were still on the roof. She sent a questioning look to Sasuke who moved silently to her left. In irritation, Kagome pushed her chakra through the roofing above her home, it flowed through the room until it merged with a plant, her plant became her eyes as she used it to scout out any intruders, her ears listening to footsteps before she sighed. Moving from the two boys who tried to grab her before she got to the window, she avoided their hands and swung herself through the open window.

"Morning Naruto." She said cheerfully, Naruto stopped running through her home upon hearing her safe. Sakura and Tobio were just sitting on the couch, watching him still half asleep.

"SHE'S ALIVE!" The two nodded to Naruto's enthusiasm.

"That's good Naru, now I'm going back to bed." Tobio said, laying his down in Sakura's lap who had already fallen asleep.

"...It's a good thing I don't have to depend on you two for help, my team was already up and erect when they heard the scream...not even listening..." She walked into her kitchen and pulled to cups out, filling them to the brim with cold water, she walked back to the living room and sparing her couch an apologetic glance, she poured the glasses on the two.

"AH! KAGOME~!"

"GO~OOME~EE~!"

In order of yells, Sakura glared coldly at Kagome as she mangled her pink tresses in an attempt to remove most of the water. Her whole body shaking in anger and pure hatred for the girl who stood with a raised brow before her, Noi coiled around her wrist and took in the heat that radiated off of her. Tobio just stood and grabbed his bag, walking into the bathroom to change; the others went to separate rooms to do the same thing.

Naruto remained with Kagome and Sai; the three got dressed in the living room, Kagome trusted them not to look, besides, Tobio and Naruto were used to her changing in front of them when in a hurry. Tobio didn't mind, he had been crushing on her for awhile, so he had no intention of making her leave. Naruto; he was a case of his own, she felt like he was more a teddy bear then a guy, but wouldn't tell him that if her life depended on it. Sai...she just didn't feel that he'd care.

She finished dressing in a fishnet top with an aquamarine blue/green tie top that ended above her belly button, where it tied between small formed mounds. A pair of the fishnet ended past her hips so the pair of Linen khaki colored drawstring shorts that over lapped the fishnet but stopped below her belly button and above her knees. White bandage wrapped around her ankles and wrists and black sandals were worn on her feet. She pulled a light jacket over her form to keep the icy morning air from biting her skin. The jacket was black and had the Uchiha clan sign on the back; her hair was done up in a braid down her back.

"Food...Need food!" She made her way to the kitchen only to have a water bottle thrust into her arms by Sai as the other made their way out of the rooms they had been changing in. "...Sai...move out of my way, or you wont make it to the test Itachi has for us, you'll only get as far as my foot sends you."

"...no food."

"I need something to sustain myself, if I don't get a cracker or something, I will not be held liable for turning to cannibalism and roasting you in a deep marinade and having you as my main breakfast course." A cracker was held in front of her by Sasuke and Kagome took it, nibbling the corner as she continued the contest between her Sai, neither blinked until Sakura called out in annoyance.

"Guys! We have to go, or we'll be late because of you!"

Sai and Kagome turned to her, "Ugly, we aren't on your team, if you leave it wouldn't matter, we have to separate anyways."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING UGLY YOU ALBINO NERD!"

"Guys, too early to yell!" Kagome said in absolute annoyance before continuing with her nibbling.

"Kag's, lets go." A monotonous voice called out to her from her window. Kagome turned and saw Sasuke waiting for her and Sai.

"Right! Good luck Tobio, Naruto! Noi, come on!" Noi left the confines of Sakura's sleeve and slithered her way up the length of Kagome's arm before following after her team.

-x-x-x-

The three arrived at their designated training spot, at least for the time being, and looked around. Itachi was nowhere to be seen, Kagome spared a glance between the two boys and they nodded. In a moment, her chakra spread throughout the forest surrounding them.

"Forty paces to our left."

Sai nodded and disappeared, Itachi had vanished from the tree the second Sai arrived, placing a Kunai to his throat only for a log to replace him. Sai reappeared by the other two who now looked up at Itachi who 'Hn'd' before jumping down before them.

"You have one objective," Itachi said coldly. Kagome knew, that despite being an ANBU, he hated mornings. "There are two bells, if you can get one, you pass."

"Two...but, there are three of us..."

"Your point?"

Kagome blanched at the harsh tone, she looked away from Itachi as her hands self consciously clasped onto her arms.

"One of you will fail."

"..."

Kagome felt her heart stop, she didn't want to go against them; they were her teammates!

"You have till noon. No holding back!" The three split up, Noi was with Sai, and Kagome was with Sasuke.

Kagome sat in the same spot for over an hour, thinking over her reasoning for being a Ninja.

'In the end, it all comes down to dad and Nanashi...but dads dead...and I haven't seen Nanashi since forever...I want to be a Shinobi, to protect the ones I love; I have to...but...' She looked up at Sasuke and Sai who were trying to take Itachi off guard. 'They come first! I don't mind waiting...Kaguya!' Kagome's eyes turned pale blue, silver speck sparkled in her eyes as Kagome shot forward and landed before the lake, the three boys turned to her in surprise, her hands moved quickly and by the time Itachi and Sasuke had activated the Sharingun, three large water tornado's shot out and raced towards Itachi at high speed.

"Kagome!" Itachi called out, trying to snap the child out of her trance.

'No, I need to do this, I need to hold on! Kaguya!'

'I know child.'

"Sasuke, Sai...NOW!"

The two jumped in opposite directions, charging Itachi from both sides as he dodged the first Water tornado and managed to evade Sai just barely, a fire ball blasted him from the side and caught his sleeve before he disappeared in a whirl of leaves, he appeared next to Kagome who moved to kick him, losing concentration on the water caused it to collapse to the ground in a rush of cold and wet waves. Itachi blocked and jumped back, landing gently on the lake behind him, she smirked and moved her hands in a different order then before, he moved to get out of the water, only to have water wrap around his foot and pull him back, his hands moved and a log sank into the water causing her to glower angrily. Kagome walked out onto the water with grace she'd never possessed before, Itachi knew that this wasn't his Kagome. Every step turned the water to ice, he glanced to the side and noticed that a few had made intermissions between their tests and come to see the commotion. Kurenai stood with her team by a group of trees, Kakashi's was behind him and Asuma and his team was on his right. Kakashi, whom he'd assumed hadn't revealed himself to his team yet, was hiding close to them.

"Kagome!"

'Now, END IT NOW!'

'Of course.'

"SAI, SASUKE!" Kagome called out to them as she produced blades of ice from the frozen lake she stood on, throwing them she successfully cut the strings of the bells and the boys caught them with ease, a smirk present on Sasuke's face.

"..." Everyone stood in silence before Kagome's eyes turned back to their original cobalt blue hue. She fell to her side on the frozen ice that slowly began melting. Itachi jumped to the center of the lake where she was and picked her up in time to save her clothes from getting wet and ran back to his team.

Kagome looked up at him, his eyes returned back to the original coal black. "I didn't hold back...like you said." Her eyes closing with those whispered words.

"Yes, just like I said."

The other sensei's ushered their teams back to their places so that they could finish their own test.

"So...Kagome failed?" Sasuke looked disappointed, he looked at the bell before placing it on top of the slowly rising chest, Sai followed his example, tossing it on to her chest before he and Sasuke took off in annoyance. Itachi chuckled, the vibrations in his chest made her move a bit, only to settle back with her head over his heart.

"How entertaining." He looked at the rising sun and smirked, "It's only been an hour and forty plus minutes."

-x-x-x-

Kagome felt horrible the next day, her energy was still depleted, and she had slept all through yesterday. So, on the request of Itachi, she now waited on the lakes wooden deck, her legs swinging back and forth weightlessly.

"Kags, you're awake!"

Kagome turned to see Sasuke and the ever silent Sai standing next to him. "Hey," she said simply, causing a frown to form on Sasuke's face.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, I used a large amount of chakra, too much I guess. I just feel...weak."

"You are anything but weak, Kagome Higurashi."

Kagome jumped, standing up, she turned and faced Itachi with Sasuke and Sai. Noi was still wrapped around his forearm.

"Itachi, what was the reason for bringing us here?"

"...since you asked brother, I'll tell you. I am here to tell my team, that starting every morning, at nine o'clock, we will meet at training ground nine. Understood!"

"..." The three stared in shock at Itachi, Kagome's eyes brightened, she rushed forward, taking her new sensei off guard by wrapping her arms around his neck and accidently pulling him over the side of the wooden dock and into the cold water. Kagome surfaced and saw Sai and Sasuke staring with similar small smirks. She smiled brightly at the two only to let out a squeal when thrown over Itachi's shoulder.

"Lesson number one, team work, Pass; lesson number two, don't throw your sensei in cold water!"

Kagome laughed at her sensei, wrapping her arms around his neck as she was carried out of the cold lake. 'I did it! I did it with your help, Kaguya! I can still become a Shinobi, with Sasuke-Nii and Sai!'

'You did great, but you need more rest, before training.'

Kagome nodded to herself. "I have to sleep today; I haven't regained all of my chakra completely from yesterday, so I'll be out until tomorrow." Kagome said once Itachi placed her down; she turned away from the group, running home, her whole body soaked and dripping wet. When she got there, Kimimaro was walking in, she smiled and embraced him, despite being wet. "I DID IT! I'm a Shinobi, Nii-san, I'm a Shinobi!" His hands grasped her shoulders and calmed her down; a light hearted smile crossed his lips.

"I'm proud of you, Kagome."

Tears swelled in her eyes as she buried her head in his chest, he picked her up and put her to bed, true pride shined through his eyes when he looked at her.

'Orochimaru-Sama would be proud too...'
