Hate to Love
Three Months Later
Kagome had managed to get closer to Sasuke, but it was hard to avoid Naruto as he seemed to be constantly near Sasuke. She had helped him in private with tactics and battle strategies; otherwise she was more of a moral support towards the boy. There was less than two weeks till the Chunin examines. Today she was just strolling around the village since she left Kuro at home to nap, while Nagi was gorging himself on some tasty snacks she had left him.
Kagome decided to forgo wearing her favorite black jacket, instead wore a earthy green kimono that came mid-thigh with knee-high netted stockings and black geta on her feet. She had her hair in a high ponytail with four-leaf clover earring in her ears; she had decided to forego makeup. She had a basket on one arm and a small pouch of money tucked into her black obi.
She backed up when a small whirlwind appeared in front of her, for a moment she was reminded of Kouga when he would arrive with his proclamations of "my woman." Her brows rose at the sight of a shiny bowl hair cut and a green jumpsuit and bright orange shoes. He had a red Hidden leaf forehead protector tied around his waist wearing the standard issue green Jonin jacket; Might Guy. She had been warned about him and his pupil Rock Lee, whom she had already met and from what she could see was running up the road after his sensei.
"Gai-sensei," he shouted, his green spandex suit showed way more than he thought and honestly she was thankful that his red hiate shield certain parts of his body.
Kagome was more surprised when Gai took her hand into his, bestowing a chaste kiss upon it.
"So you are the lovely creature that my rival speaks so fondly of. I knew the moment I saw you am I right Kagome-san," he said with a wide smirk, the sun shining off of his bowl haircut. Both her brows rose, before realizing he was speaking about Kakashi and for a second wanted deny her identity, before deciding it wouldn't be a wise thing to do.
"Hai, my name is Higuirashi, Kagome, so you're the one Kakashi speaks so fondly of," she said flashing him a smile. She always thought that friendly rivals were good to have between friends.
"Kakashi, well it is because we exude that same liveliness that brings all moving energies together," Gai exclaimed flexing.
"Well that is nice, but I am afraid I must be going, good luck on that moving energies," Kagome said rushing off before she got even more psyched out.
When she was a good distance away she slowed her pace. She waved at a few of the familiar face that she saw. Her ears perked up at the sound of arguing, she turned the corner to see Naruto protecting several children, Sakura right along with him against three Sand ninja, while Sasuke was in the tree near them.
Her geta made echoing against the sidewalk as both sides were completely silent as she came towards them. She smiled waving at the gang.
"Konichiwa Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke," she greeted them, completely ignoring the Sand ninja.
"Oh hiyah Kagome-chan," Naruto said scratching the back of his head sheepishly. Kagome looked towards the red haired boy her eyes narrowing slightly before relaxing.
Another jinchuriki, just great.
"Well I have to go, but hopefully I'll see you all at Ichiraku's later, neh," she said.
"Of course," Naruto beamed a big goofy smile at her.
"Okay, bye," she walked off giving them a backwards wave. She could feel their eyes watching her as she turned the next corner, before their eventual bickering started up again.
Ichiraku's Ramen Shop
"Ichiraku-san," Kagome called sitting down in a vacant seat, two ninja who were at the other end looked her over before going back to eating.
"Ah Kagome-chan I have told you time and time again to call me Teuchi," he said will an exaggerated pout.
"Teuchi-kun, can I have some tonkotsu ramen, you know it's my favorite," asked using his first name.
"Coming right up, Ayame one tonkotsu ramen with extra pork," he yelled winking at Kagome.
Kagome smiled. The nine rookie teams would be competing in the Chunin exams, much to the dismay of Iruka-san, though it kind of peeved her that he didn't have enough faith in his pupils to participate and come out victorious.
"Ka-go-me," a familiar voice shouted, she turned surprised to see Naruto running towards her in the distance, Sasuke and Sakura were following behind at a slower pace. It looked like all three had been in a tusse.
She smiled at his goofy smile that seemed to be sewn onto Naruto's face. According to the Hokage, Anko had just returned from her mission, but she would be one of the people helping in this years Chunin exams.
So no matter what came nothing would foul her mood.
End of Chappy!
