Deep within the forest of Mnt. Okami, the sound of the wind rushing by filled her ears as she ran, hopelessly lost, but glad to be away from where she came. Her raven black hair was messy and tied in a ponytail, flowing with every step she took. She'd be damned if she was ever going back to Konoha, never again will she step foot in such a place.
The girl had tripped on a stone and rolled down a hill, landing in the Northern Pack's camp, right in front of Kagome just as she was about to enter her hut. They both stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity, their eyes wide with shock. The girl was the first to move as she tried to run away, but Kagome had grabbed her clothing and pulled her into the hut, pinning her to the wall by holding her off the ground by her shirt collar.
"Who the Hell are you!? What are you doing on Mnt. Okami!? Where did you come from!?" Kagome growled, baring her fangs, which had grown since she was younger.
The girl flinched and stared at Kagome in pure terror after seeing the enlarged Canines "I-I-I'm sorry for tresspassing! It was an accident! M-My name is I-Itako Uchimaki! I'm from K-Konoha!"
Kagome's pupils went slit "So Konoha sent you here!? Why!?"
"N-No! I-I ran away and got lost! I'm sorry!" Itako closed her eyes, hoping this was all just a bad dream.
Kagome loosened her grip on the young girl's shirt a bit "Why did you run away? And what Clan has the name 'Uchimaki'? You'd better not be lying to me girl!"
"I-I couldn't take the bullying anymore! I was always getting bullied for being a half breed! And it's Uchiha and Uzumaki, m-my father is an Uchiha a-and my mother is Uzumaki." Itako's voice quivered as Kagome's stare burned through her very soul it seemed.
Kagome's eyes widened as she dropped the girl onto the ground and took a few steps back "Who...Who are your parents?"
Itako struggled to catch her breath for a moment "I-Itachi and Kimiko, w-why?"
"So...You're Itachi-sensei's...Daughter...And Kimiko's too..." Kagome squinted.
"Itachi...Sensei? Wait, you know my parents!?"
Kagome looked down at her "Yes, I trained under Itachi for many years, and your mother was my best friend."
"A-Are you serious?" Itako asked, bewildered.
Kagome grabbed her shirt and pinned her to the wall again "Idiot! Don't you think they'd be worried about you!? You ran away without telling them!"
"I highly doubt they do! They never did anything to defend me!" She shot back.
"Tsk, you don't even KNOW them..." Kagome dropped her on the ground again, this time standing over her glaring.
Kagome whirled around quickly when she smelled all to familiar scents ver close by, and moments later, Haruka had pulled back the animal skin doors "It's you after all...Kagome."
Kagome squinted as she saw Itachi, Kimiko and Sasuke standing behind her "Well damn, the whole calvary came now didn't it? Who else do you have hiding behind you?"
Haruka stepped inside casually, followed by the others, the awkward silence between them all was indeed...Awkward.
"Where have you been hiding all these years? We checked Mnt. Okami several times yet...We thought you had died, Kagome." Haruka was the one to finally break all silence.
"Hn, blame him." She answered, glaring at Sasuke, who broke their eye contact by looking away.
Itako was attempting to crawl away while the adults had a staring contest, but Kagome had stepped on the bottom rim of her shirt to keep her at bay "Is this pathetic whelp yours, Kimiko, Itachi."
Kagome seemed to be the master at churning the surrounding air, causing it to be stifling and frightening even.
Kimiko took a step forward "Is that how you greet your best friend, after seventeen years...?"
Kagome stayed silent with a blank face before smiling sheepishly, getting glomped by her friend in an instant. After the whole reunion thing was over Itachi and Kimiko had been lecturing their daughter for awhile as Kagome couldn't help but over hear.
"You've never done anything in my defense! All you ever do is tell me that I shouldn't stoop to their level! All I'm trying to do is defend myself! You want to know why!? Because my fucking parents are to fucking sorry to stand up for their own DAUGHTER!" Itako yelled, only to be backhanded by Itachi.
"Dont you dare use that language with us! I'm sorry I had to do that but you're getting WAY to out of hand!" Itachi retorted, honestly feeling bad about having to hit his own daughter.
Kimiko just shook her head "We're not trying to keep you from defending yourself, it's just..."
Itako got up and wiped her cheek from the backhand "It's just what!? You're too much a bitch to do anything!? You and dad are too busy fucking in the bedroom to end my suffering!? Is his cock down your throat so much that you can't even speak up in my defense!?"
Both their eyes widened, no one would ever want to hear such things come out of their child's mouth, especially their daughter.
Before any of them could open their mouths again, Kagome had walked in "Enough!" She walked over and grabbed Itako's shirt collar, lifting her up so they could see at eye level "Instead of complaining about them not doing anything, why don't you use the time you spend wasting, and use it for training instead, that way you can defend yourself and I won't have to listen to all this bullshit and what your parents do in bed." She brought Itako inches away from her face, her pupils split "Deal?"
Itako gulped before answering quietly "D-Deal..."
"I can't hear you!" Kagome snapped at her.
"I-I said OK, it's a deal!"
Kagome threw her onto the ground, letting her land on her ass before walking away, stopping in between Kimiko and Itachi "Come with me, I want to talk with you two."
