Chapter 14

In a dark realm

Byakuran sigh, it seems that there will be two more creatures to be sealed. He stare at Kanna and smile,

"Do you think that I will become succeeded, Kanna? He asks the little girl with a demon mirror.

"I think so, Byakuran-sama" she replied with a soft spoken voice. He looks at her demonic mirror and smirked to see a melancholic Kagome with Sasuke's team.

"So, they will be headed to Sunagakure, that was fast." He commented. He summons unknown people and the creatures appear in his presence.

"What is you're command, Byakuran-sama?" asked the unknown person. The dark lord smirked evily and his eyes turned demonic.

Tsubaki from behind, amused by the situation. It seems that the war between humans and demons have been started. It is in the prophecy that there will be a great war coming and it will be the end of the humanity. The dark witch urge to destroy the whole world and have the eternal power and eternal youth. She wanted Kagome's body so badly and her beauty as well. For, she will become the most desired woman that every man wanted. She needs to kill her… in her owned hands.

Sasuke stare at her again, last night, he did something indecent to her. He just merely stares at her like a stalker. Suigetsu been wondering Sasuke's behavior recently. The miko had been silent all the time and he doesn't know why? She was staring at the sky blankly and seems avoiding the Uchiha.

"Oi, Sasuke can I ask you something?" he approaches the lone Uchiha, he merely distant away from the three (Karin, Kagome, and Juugo). Sasuke stare at him stoicly at the purple eyed guy.

"Is there something happen between you and the miko?" he ask pervertly, the Uchiha's eyes widen and he then changes his usual mood.

"Nothing, why do you ask?" he lied to him. Suigetsu snickered, "You can't lie to me, Sasuke, I know that kind of behavior between opposite sexes like….lover's quarrel" he said playfully, the Uchiha snorted and leaves Suigetsu. The aqua man just snickered.

Karin however, seems glad and relive that Sasuke seems avoiding the miko, it means that she had the chance to seduce the Uchiha without any worries. Juugo was playing with his two birds and feeds them happily.

Sasuke saw Kagome alone and he wanted to approach her, he wanted to talk to her about last night. Kagome notice him behind her, and look at him with a frowned on her face. She never forgives him on what he did to her. She nearly lost her virginity after that indecent behavior he shows to her.

"What do you want?" she ask him coldly. Sasuke was flinch and sigh he sits few inches away from her and the two of them never look at each other.

"I…wanted to talk to you, that I didn't mean-" he was stop as Kagome began to stare at him seriously. She decides t o be calm and not acting stupid in front of him. She still thinking about what he did to her. and it gives her mixed emotions. She doesn't know how to confront him but she heard last night from him that he was sorry.

"I….don't know what you've been acting last night, but I won't forgive you" she said straightly at him. "You said, that you want to destroy a certain village, I don't know the reason behind as to why you had grudge on it. But for the last time, I will not help you." She added in a serious tone. Sasuke frowned at her statement. This girl is so stubborn.

"You know what will happen if you don't obey me" he threatened behind the priestess, Kagome stare at him blankly. "I don't care if you kill me…I f you want my life, then you can have it." She replied, Sasuke scowled at her, in what way he will do to let her borrow her power to him?

A certain person with aubun haired, notice an aura, a familiar aura, he was with his men. They're a group of exorcists and monks, that tries to find a very important individual. That will help them get rid of the demons.

"I could sense her aura." He whispered, his right hand man with a long pony tailed and dressed as a monk looked at him. "Is the miko?" he ask the leader of their group. The young man with auburn hair smirked and nodded. "She is the one" he said once again.

Sasuke and his team with Kagome enters an inn to a random village. The motel woman saw them and blushed to see Sasuke. "Can I help you sir?" she asked the male Uchiha. "We need a room for the five of us." He said to the lady. The lady opens her record list, "It seems that there are two rooms available, which means there's a room for the males and one for the females." She said to the five of them.

"This should be convenient." Kagome commented, not looking at the guy beside her. (Which is Sasuke), the Uchiha "Hn" on what she had said.

"What an ass, I can't spend alone with Sasuke, This is so suck!" thought Karin, glaring again the miko, when she started to be the hostage of their team, Sasuke is always in contact with her, and makes it more annoying to her.

As the opposite sex separated on the other rooms; Karin and Kagome didn't make any contact or having a girl chat. They hated each other, Kagome doesn't like her because Karin always puts a glare on her with unknown reasons, while the tracker nin hate her because of Sasuke. And the miko dosen't know.

"I really hate to share a room with this girl" grumbled Karin. Unfortunately, Kagome heard her and frowned.

"If you want…you will take this room for yourself" she said coldly, and left the room. Karin was baffled at her statement, and makes her anger as well. "That bitch!' she growls.

Kagome on the other hand, walked to the hallway of the inn, away from Karin. She approach Suigetsu seems walking also in the hallway, Suigetsu shows toothy grinned at her. Kagome ignores him, and makes him frowned.

"Hey, Where are you going?" he asked the miko, Kagome turned and looked at him "I'm going out for a bit." She replied, Suigetsu put a confused look on his face. Something is really wrong about this. He then, went to the guy's room and saw the Sasuke cleaning his weapons and Juugo stare at the window, he was less surprise to see Kagome outside the inn all by herself.

"Kagome, she went out again" Juugo looked at Sasuke with a concern face, Sasuke sigh and ignores what Juugo said, Suigetsu scratched his head. "Are you sure that you let that girl away?" he asked the male Uchiha. Again, Sasuke didn't say anything; he was focus cleaning his sword and the sword reflects his own obsidian eyes.

In a market streets

"Come out! Come out! …free takoyaki !" a certain vendor shouted to the crowded people. Many selling products been established on the streets. Kagome, looked at it from left to right. She saw shining jewelries and seems upset that the price is so expensive. Window shopping had been her hobby since she went with different villages with her grandmother, her face turned to sad as she thought of her grandmother. Is she alive? Is she safe? Their grandmother left them when she was twelve and she didn't know where she is. So that means, she and her grandmother are the two last Higurashis alive.

"Where's Ouji-sama (Prince)?" asked a certain random warrior with his co leagues. They were looking for there so called 'Prince' in the middle of the streets because they sense a certain person in the village they entered.

"I don't know where he is, but probably he was there slacking off again. He forget that we had a mission." A guy with a green haired, pale skin, and purple eyes said, staring at the villagers. He is a bit 15 in his age, and he wore a sleeveless jacket and black pants, he has a huge sword on his back, and he has a ninja sandals. His expression seems impatient.

"The demons, I feel that they were coming" said a female with a long dark blond, she dresses as a miko but her pants where dark blue. She is currently meditating. A huge guy was beside her sighed, he had a spiky silver hair and wearing a monk outfit. They are seems an infamous group that kills demons that been under by the dark lord; Byakuran.

Kagome stumbles a group of bandits and seems that they are after her money. She accidentally enters a café that the customers are full of bandits. And she accidentally bumps a bounty hunter and his group seems angry at her. Because she accidentally fell their drinks on the floor.

"Didn't I say sorry!" she growls at them. They are very rude people, they wanted her head. "Shut up! You will pay for what you did to me." The bandit said rudely at her. The group of bandits ready their weapons to attack the helpless miko.

"Is it unfair for one female against four men? " a voice of a man said behind them, Kagome and the group of bandits stare at the newcomer; A guy with an auburn hair, pale skin, and has beautiful golden eyes. He wears a dark cloak, under it is a sleeveless shirt, he has a huge necklace around his neck, he also has pierce on his right ear,skeleton belt, black pants and has shinobi sandals. He is a bishounen; but a deadly one. Kagome raised a brow to the new comer, who is this guy? The auburn guy saw her and smirked "She is the one" he thought.

"Don't meddle to us, you punk!" A random bandit charges at the new guy, Kagome gasped; that guy is in trouble.

"Watch out!" she shouted at him, the guy smirked and grabs his weapon. The bandit was surprised at his twin swords, the swords slashed his abdomen and he fells instantly. The others are in horror at the auburn guy in front of them. They could see his murderous intent on his eyes. The guy then smiled at Kagome and grabs her away from the crowd. "Matte!" she told the auburn guy, as he tight gripped her wrist. Kagome doesn't know the situation but this guy out of nowhere came to help her. As they are away from the crowd, The guy release his hand on her wrist. Kagome straightly look at his face in a confused look, the guy became chuckled. She frowned; "What's so funny?" she ask at the his laughing mode. He stopped, and stare at her handsomely "Nothing, Is just-" He leans her on the tree trunk his large hand pins her and grips her shoulders. Kagome surprised at him, "What the-"…"You are Kikyo-san's imouto? Am I right?" he asked the priestess, Kagome's eyes widen "How did you know my one-chan?" she then asked him. Then, the guy change his mood, he looked at her in a serious look "You really has a same features of hers" as he brushes off her bangs. He doesn't answer her question. "Kikyo-san is a very important person to me, which is why I'm here on her behalf to protect you." He said to her; Kagome frowned; he didn't answer her question."Where did you met my Onee-chan?" she asked him again, The auburn guy sigh, "I met her when she save my life." He said finally, "When I heard that she is dead, I feel that I could lose the world, but when I heard about you're existence. I think I had another chance." Kagome feels that what he said was his own feelings."So, from here on, I'm going to protect you, Higurashi Kagome-san." He declared, Kagome's eyes widen, who is this person? She doesn't know him? Kikyou didn't even tell her about this person. And she could feel something different about him and make her feel uneasy.

"I won't believe you, you're just a stranger to me and-" her eyes shadowed,"Don't use my deceased sister's name so casually, If you know her…then give me a proof." She demanded at the auburn guy. The guy puts a smirked on his face. This girl is a smart one; no wonder she is Higurashi Kikyou's imouto.

"You're clever, Higurashi Kagome-san, but it's true I did met her" he then, removes his cloak and show to her a huge necklace. Kagome glance at the object. It seems familiar…

Flashback

Little Kagome glance a huge necklace on her older sister's neck. Kikyou raised a brow, her little sister seems curious.

"What's wrong, Kagome?" she asked her imouto. Little Kagome shook her head but look at her sister with a smile.

"Onee-chan, What is that thing?" she pointed at the huge necklace. The older girl raised a brow again and puts a small smile.

"This, it's a necklace for everlasting bond. He's going to come here." said Kikyou, "So, Is he you're special person, Onee-chan?" she asked her older sister. Kikyou puts a weak smile on her face and nodded.

End of flashback

"So, you're-" Kagome wanted to find the right word, "Onee-chan's special person?" she whispered, the guy nodded. Kagome realize now, what he said was true. He knows her older sister. The auburn haired guy nodded at her question. He offers his hand, "Come with me, Kagome-san, I'll help you on you're mission." He offered, Kagome look at him warily. "I promise I'm going to protect you, and I had a few comrades with me and they are surely warmly welcome you." He added with a kind smile on his face. Kagome thought deeply, if she agrees, then. She will be free herself from their(Team Taka) grip. This person, who acquainted her sister a long time ago decides to help her, she sigh and accept his hand.

"Tell me….What is you're name?" ask Kagome to the auburn guy, he sigh and smile."My name is Akisora of the Land of Crimson. (my own imaginary country:P) Kagome haven't heard that kind of country before…maybe it's an isolated country. "See you around, Kagome-san" he waves at her and leave. Kagome blinked he's gone. She notice it is already nightfall, she needs to return to the inn and pack up her things, for she had decided to follow Akisora."You will protect me." She whispered, Someone, other than Naruto told her such words. She smile, and returned to the inn.

Tsubome Inn

The whole team Taka looked at her in a cold look. Kagome gulped, she didn't returned by dinner. Sasuke looked at her emotionlessly.

"Gomenasai" she bow and apologize to them. "Where have you been, Sasuke is been worried to you." snickered Suigetsu, to which Sasuke and Karin glared hatefully at him. Kagome blinked, Sasuke? Worried? She look intently at the Uchiha and seems he was in his usual mood. She frowned, she had enough of his cold attitude towards her and he seems just saw her as nothing. Come to think of it, he lay a hand on her and physically hurt her. This person is a jerk and very possessive either. Kagome clenched her fist and leaves the room.

"How rude of her! Sasuke did you see what she did?" Karin growls, Sasuke stood and follows the miko. The three jolt as Sasuke slammed the door. "It seems he's angry" commented Suigetsu.

He follows her to the hallway and saw her in the female room, packing her things. "Where are you going? "he asked rudely, "I'm leaving, and besides there is someone waiting for me." She said not looking at him. Sasuke frowned; So, she was late because she had someone she met. His eyes darkened, as she pinned her against the wall, Kagome shocked and she wanted to get free from his grip.

"You're really stubborn, aren't you?" he looked at her intently, he pinned her against the wall and his face closer to hers, Kagome was blushed, he is so handsome. She was hot when he was closer to her, as she remembers that night, she shove him away quickly. Sasuke was surprised on her actions

" Please stop doing this" she said in a soft spoken voice, the Uchiha just stare at her weak form, she envelop herself her helpless face was makes the Uchiha intimate on her. "We both strangers, and besides…" she remembers his forceful kiss to her."That kiss...Y-You s-should do it with the person you like… so please…don't confuse me" she looked at him in the eyes. The Uchiha frowned at her and sigh

"You're an idiot." He whispered, Kagome's eyes widen, he stood and glares at her coldly, "You don't know any single thing about me, so don't say to me…that such things" he said in a cold voice, before he leaves the room "I've decided…I will…let you go as what you wish" he said finally, Kagome was shocked and yet seems hurt on what he had said to her. She quickly left the room and leaves the lone Uchiha. She was outside the inn and her tears fall from her cheeks she doesn't know why she was crying but…it hurts so much. Sasuke however, have made his decision, after he saw her crying form he realize that she had done so many hardships and she still move on even if her clan was gone.

"I don't care if you kill me…if you want my life you can have it!" that was the words that irritates him most.

His fist clenched, he and her are different. He will still continue on his plan to destroy Konohagakure even if he doesn't need the celestial beasts power. For he is an Uchiha, and his abilities and his bloodline are enough to him.

Kagome runs and finds Akisora, he said that he will be meeting her at the park. She saw five people and one of them is Akisora, she hides herself on the trunk of the tree.

"Did you find her?" asked a 15 year old kid beside a dark blond girl. Akisora smirked, "Yeah, and it will be easy for us in our mission." He said to his comrades. Mission? Kagome wondered, "A mission, to extract the beasts inside of the miko" he said in a dark tone. Kagome's eyes widen, so that was his planned after all. The dark blond girl notices her presence, "I think she heard us." The green haired boy use his huge sword to cut the trunk, they could see the shocking look of Kagome. Akisora puts a fake smile on his face.

"Kagome-san, you're here" he said welcomingly, Kagome put a cold look at him. So, he deceives her and uses her older's sister's name as bait for her to join him.

"You, bastard" she said in a venomous tone. "You deceive me!" she hissed. Akisora surprised, "No, Kagome-san, "What I said to you was true…I want the celestial beasts power to avenge my family, and my people." He reveals to her. "Haruko, Keita and Yuki they came from the Land of Crimson, my country was known for having connected to the celestial world. My family is the descendants of a celestial being come down to earth for a hundred years. My family and the Higurashi clan where connected." He explains to her.

Flashback

Akisora together with his parents the leader of the Land of Crimson and the matriarch , meets the few members of Higurashi clan particularly; Kikyou and her grandmother Kaede. They were in a short meeting about the prophecy. Akisora was one year younger than Kikyou. He was twelve years old when he met her. Akisora stare at the beautiful female, she is like a goddess because of her beauty. And the young Akisora fell for her charm.

"My name is Higurashi KIkyou, my lord" she bowed at them. Akisora blushed at her, she is so pretty. From then, he and Kikyou became very close; she share to him everything including the secrets of the Higurashi clan. His family was the clan's ally and friend. He will do anything for her.

Just then, after kikyou and her co-members left the country for almost 2 years. Byakuran appears with his creatures and slaughtered everyone. His parents and his people were dead except him and his few fellow countrymen.

End of flashback

"That is why, I will never betrayed Kikyou, she is an important person to me. Which is why I'm here to help you" he said with a pitiful look. He grabs her hand, "Byakuran, mercilessly killed my people. We want revenge and you are the only one who can help us. We are on you're debt, Kagome-san" Akisora said. "Akisora-kun" Kagome looked at him sympathetically.

The Uchiha just stood at the rooftop, and saw the beautiful moon. He sigh, what he did to her is absurd and he decides to let her go. But he still wants her power. She just told him that she has no feelings for her and it gives him mixed emotions. His fist clenched, he had never experience this kind of pain before after the death of Itachi. His eyes shift as an unexpected guest comes in his presence.

"Long time no see, Uchiha Sasuke-san" A sinister greeting that the Uchiha heard, he frowned and yet emotionlessly glances at the dark lord himself.

"Byakuran" he calls his name coldly. The dark lord, put a sly smile "Where is the miko?" he ask the Uchiha. Sasuke was speechless, he decided; he will let go of Kagome…for he decides that he had no longer cares for her anymore, but deep inside he has a mixed feelings to her.

"I don't care to her…I let her go for she is useless to me." He said seriously, Byakuran raised a brow;

"You don't want the power?"

"Hn"

"You betrayed me" he said in a cold voice, Sasuke smirked at his expression and activates his sharingan."I don't want to become pawns for an ambitious guy like you" he's sharingan turned into a Mangekyou Sharingan. "The reason why I agree to capture the woman because I wanted to know what kind of power she possesses but I realize that she is just like those weak jinchuurikis" he said in a cold voice, "I'll just kill you instead." He gathers his chakra and summons Susanoo at the dark lord's presence, a gigantic, spiritual humanoid being that surrounds and protects the Uchiha. Byakuran grit his teeth, this was the famous third ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. He admits, the Uchihas are so powerful. But he chuckles darkly, to which Sasuke frowned at him. "fufufu…this is interesting…as I expected of the power of the Uchiha clan, but our level of powers are different! " he shouted, he gathers his dark energy and showed to the Uchiha. The male Uchiha grit his teeth in anger as his three subordinates are inside the dark orb unconscious.

"What the hell are you doing!" he shouted angrily, Byakuran smirked evily "As long as you will return the miko to me, I will release you're friends alive." Sasuke angers at him, why will he gone so far for that girl? "You will pay for this" he said darkly. Byakuran sigh, "I will be waiting…Uchiha-san, bring Higurashi Kagome to me" he said in his final request to him and leave with Sasuke's unconscious subordinates.

Sasuke doesn't know what to do

Morning, 6:00am

As the sun was up, Kagome together with Akisora and his band, went to Sunagakure. "Ready, Kagome-san?" asked Akisora, Kagome nodded with a smile. She was safe with them and she will trust them. But, there is one person was clouded on her mind right now.

"Sasuke" she thought, she doesn't know why she was worried to him. But, even though he was been mean to her, after he decides to let go of her she realize that he…was not a bad person after all.

"I heard from the rumors that Sunagakure was in big trouble…climate actually" Yuki said, as she saw in her vision. Kagome and Akisora surprised, "This means…Seryuu is revealing his presence and he will destroy that country."Akisora concluded, Kagome felt nervous but she will do her best to save those people.

"Let's go" as she lead the road, the four of them nodded.

Konohagakure

"Godaime-sama, we had an urgent news from Sunagakure it seems that they've been a huge sandstorms on their village and demons are attacking their village also" said the messenger, Tsunade was surprised, Again? This happen a long ago.

"Tsunade-sama" Shizune looked at her master from her right. "I don't know, but there is still something wrong about this" she clenched her jaw, she was angry at the current situation. She had problems right now, about the elder's decision on Kagome's future.

"We…also heard, that the Higurashi girl…is now at the Land of Wind" the messenger added, Tsunade's eyes widen. This was a great news. She stare at Shizune, "Call team Kakashi…they'll be the one assign for this mission to assist Sunagakure…I'm sure Naruto will be happy if he knows that we know the info. About Kagome's whereabouts" she said with a smile, Shizune smile and nodded and hurridly left the office, the messenger also left the office. Tsunade's expression change in a sympathical look; Konohagakure is not safe place for Kagome to stay because the elders planned something bad to her, and she, the Hokage, can't go against their plan. For this is place where she will be in her…final.

"I'm sorry, Higurashi-san" she whispered with a single tear on her eyes.

"Naruto!" shouted the pink haired chuunin at the blonde genin in the Ichiraku Ramen, Sakura took a deep breathe; the genin raised a brow at his teammate.

"What is it,Sakura-chan?" his mouth was full of noddles, from his ordered ramen. Sakura puts a smile on her face.

"Guess what, Shizune-san, told me that they know the information where Kagome-chan is" she said in an exciting look on her face. Naruto can't believe what he just heard, for almost three to four months they had finally found where Kagome is.

"That's great…thank God" he said happily, Team Yamato and the addition team 8 went to the Hokage's office. Tsunade instructed to them about the mission in Sunagakure and they also should return Higurashi Kagome back to the village at once. The two teams nodded, as they are all packed up for their mission. Naruto was in a deep thought while they were leaping through the trees; Finally, he will see her again, for he had missed her so much.

Kagome-chan, I'm coming
