Chapter Nine;
Away-

Kagome stared at the gates of Konoha from a distance, her body shaking with the tears that kept falling from her eyes. She hadn't asked to come to this village, hadn't asked them to refer to her as an angel, hadn't asked them of anything. The only good thing that village gave her was; Itachi. Turning her head, she stared at him for a moment before taking a step closer.

"Where do we go from here, Itachi?" She asked in a whisper, the question had been lingering in her mind since he'd told her they would escape.

"Akatsuki," He stated simply, turning his gaze to look down into hers.

Clenching her fists slightly, she nodded her head and gave one last glare towards Konoha.

"Now tell me... What exactly did you tell the Hokage?"

"Well..."


Note- Oooh~ The next chapter will probably be long, a little treat for the tenth chapter of this story. Woo! Thank you to all my reviewers~ I appreciate them very much.
