Chapter 13. First Day of Training!

Kagome snuggled deeper into the fabric underneath her. It was so soft and it smelt real good! But then-IT BREATHED!

"Eipe!!"

Struggling to sit up, Kagome stilled when two arms wrapped around her sides and a low grunt reached her ears, "Stop. Moving."

Letting out a small sigh, Kagome snuggled back into the person below her. "You scared me, Naru-chan,"

The blonde merely grinned lazily, "Part of the plan," he drawled, his voice a bit roughed up from sleep, it caused her to shiver.

"So mean," she breathed, a small blush on her cheeks. The blush only got darker when she felt Naruto's hands move down to her hips.

"Mmm, go back to sleep," he murmured, placing a kiss on top of her hair.

Kagome nodded, "Hai," she whispered.

The two teens were already starting to doze of when…

SPLASH!

Two cries, one manly and the other girly, came from the two soaked teens.

The male holding the water bucket merely grinned, a twinkle in his violet eyes.

"Rise and Shine, Kagome-San! Your first day of training has come!"

Kagome smiled happily, pushing her soaked hair behind her shoulders, "Oh, it seems it has," she giggled.

Naruto glared. 'Jerk,' he thought, brushing at his clothes.

"Kagome-Sama I must say, you look lovely when wet. I hope you'll give me the privilege of seeing you wet another time?"

Naruto growled and stepped in front of Kagome protectively. "Come on, Miroku. Let's let Kags change." And with that, Naruto pulled Miroku out the door with him, leaving a confused Kagome behind.

Sesshoumaru looked down at his sleeping students and narrowed his eyes. Why was it that only Miroku managed to wake up on time?

"Get up." He ordered, roughly shaking his half-brother. The hanyou barked in reply and buried his face into the pillows, sighing in content. His disheveled white hair fanned out behind him, puppy ears twitching frantically in sleepy pleasure.

Sesshoumaru pulled his hand back, disgusted and a bit afraid. 'He smells of arousal.'

Shaking his silver locks, Sesshoumaru went over to Kouga, but the second he looked at the wolf, he decided to just walk out.

'Disgusting.' The image of Kouga wearing nothing but his skin would forever haunt him.

Kagome sighed fretfully blowing her bangs out of her face. Not only could she not find anything to tie her hair back with, now she couldn't find her sandals! She managed to remember where she put the training outfit Tsunade had given her the day before but she was missing those two items.

"Stupid sandals, Stupid hair tie, Stupid hair!" Pouting, she murmured, "I'm going to cut you," to the long black strands.

"You will not!"

Jumping slightly, she turned around, "Neh? Naruto?"

The grinning blonde placed a finger on the pouting beauty's chest, and easily pushed her onto the bed. When said beauty opened her mouth to whine, he bent down and lifted her delicate foot. He placed the first sandal on her foot, and then repeated the motion with the other foot.

"Oh," a grateful smile emerged on her face, "Thanks Naru-chan!"

Naruto laughed, "No problem, you've got the cutest little feet!" He laughed uproariously at the blush staining her cream pale cheeks.

"Hmph!" standing, Kagome tossed her raven hair behind her. "Well, do I look okay?"

Naruto looked his friend over and smiled serenely. "You look great Kagome, you always do."

Kagome smiled and hugged him tightly, "Thank you," she whispered.

Rubbing her back, Naruto then released her and grinned, "So, are you ready to train?"

"Hai!"

Miroku stood silent next to his sensei and smiled when Kagome -led by Naruto- arrived at the training spot. He heard a soft sigh come from Kouga, who after being pelted awake along with Inuyasha, seemed to be awe-struck at the beauty before them. A grunt from Inuyasha followed the sigh. Sesshoumaru though, merely gave them a nod.

"Good morning Kagome. You slept well, I hope?"

Kagome beamed in the direction of the silver-haired man. "Oh yes, thank you, Sesshoumaru-sensei. I had a funny dream, but other than that I slept perfectly."

Sesshoumaru glanced over at the blonde next to her and both stared each other in the eye for a couple of seconds, "Good. You will need your energy. When my students train, they train till they drop down in dead faint." He informed her, looking for Naruto's reaction and he smirked when the blonde began to seethe.

"Hey! This is her first time training in years, lay off a bit!" Naruto yelled, a fist clenched at the mere thought of Kagome being injured by these men.

"No, Naru-chan. I want to train that hard," came the firm, yet gentle voice from beside him.

"But-"

"I've been resting all my life. I want to know more than just one jutsu; I want to find my brothers and a want to get better. I don't want you to hold back just because I'm blind." Kagome stated.

Naruto was left with an opened mouth. He sighed and then looked away, his eyes closed.

"Whatever," he murmured.

Inuyasha smirked and inwardly gave the girl credit. Although she might have just signed her own death along with the bravery. He shivered. Sesshoumaru's training sessions were hell.

"I'm glad you are eager. We begin with just Taijutsu, Miroku's expertise. He will spar with you and you both will continue to spar until one of you passes out."

Kagome nodded slowly, her bottom lip in between her teeth. "O-okay."

Naruto turned to his friend and smiled, reaching out for her hand. "Hey," he crooned gently, "You'll do great."

Kagome squeezed his hand back.

"Thanks."

Akatsuki

Pein turned to his group and smirked. Finally.

"Listen up," he ordered.

He noticed Itachi as the first to look up, and his smirked dimmed when they met eyes.

The Uchiha's eyes just screamed for blood. His own, no doubt.

Hebi

Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo all stared at their leader with impassive looks on their faces. Karin seemed to be the only one who was really listening to Sasuke though, and she watched as he exhaled quietly.

"Alright," he began.

Sesshoumaru watched as Kagome and Miroku stood across from each other and nodded.

"It is time." Three voices chimed.
