Chapter 25:
She rolled her eyes and gaara also opened an eye "his right you know." Kagome stuck her tongue at them.
Kagome let her chakra, reiki and youki dissipate as she watched her lovers shiver from the sudden cold.
She bent down and put her previous clothes away before walking to her room to shower, she called over her shoulder "you two should get ready, we are going to make our way to the borders of suna to meet the two teams." She watched as Madara got up grumbling and Gaara just layed back.
She flared her reiki and youki causing them to get up "alright im up!" Gaara called out as kagome closed the door.
She pouted at herself in the mirror before brushing her teeth and setting up the shower.
Kagome raised an eyebrow as Madara opened the door and peeked in before closing it behind him, she stepped into the shower as Madara joined her.
Ignoring him she washed up and he said "you mean your bringing me along on the mission too?" kagome nodded "raksha should be meeting us at the gates, so we shouldn't be to long." She said as she stepped out, not seeing Madara pouting at her back.
She dried her hair and pulled out black leather pants with a violet corset.
She tilted her head and went with a black blouse before taking out leather knee highs and bending down to put them on.
She gasped when she felt Madara caress her and she looked over at him, she bit her lip when she saw the look in his eyes.
She sighed almost blissfully when she saw water droplets going down his chest and shook her head before standing straight and putting on her leather gloves along with her arm guards.
She giggled at the tinkling of her charms and turned around, Madara pinned her against the counter and kissed her neck.
She brought her hands through his wet hair and used wind chakra to dry it, causing it to be a little mussed and giggled at him "you know, we should probably get going." She said as Madara slowly brought his hands up her sides before capturing her lips in a deep kiss.
She wrapped her arms around her neck and leaned into the kiss, he leaned towards her and they froze when Gaara cleared his throat. "you know kagome, you're a little too easy to sway." He said as he looked at her pointedly.
She stuck her tongue out at him and blinked in surprise when he leaned over and kissed her, playing with her tongue ring.
After a couple seconds she was finally able to think and glared at Gaara before walking out of the bathroom, her heels clicking on the floor. "fine, ill meet you two at the gates than!" she said as she used her light orb and went to see Raksha.
She smiled at the red head and licked rakshas cheek. "so you ready to venture out of the village?" she asked Raksha and saw her nod enthusiastically.
She looked at the pack on her back and almost rolled her eyes when she saw how big it was.
"you know, you could have sealed that away…" she said with a pointed look at the pack.
"but that would take the fun out of carrying it!" she yelped when Gaara and Madara tackled her to the ground.
"I WIN!" they both cried out.
"NO YOU DIDN'T!" they yelled at each other.
"YES I DID!" they said making kagome twitch.
Rakshas head fell forward as she covered her face with her hand.
"DAMNIT YOU TWO!" kagome yelled out as she threw them off her and they blinked at her.
They pointed at each other. "TELL HIM IT WAS ME WHO WON!" they cried out.
"SERIOUSLY! STOP TALKING AT THE SAME TIME!" Raksha yelled out only for her to have a shocked look on her face.
She bowed her head "forgive me-" "ach, don't." kagome said as she tugged on both Gaara and madaras hair "come on you two. It was a draw."
They glared at each other. "ill get you next time" they said at the same time and kagome giggled when she saw Raksha twitch.
She turned to the gates. "now I believe we must set out." She said as she lunged forward, intending on making it to the treeline before her two lovers.
"HEY!" they cried out.
They ran after her "THAT'S CHEATING!"
Raksha blinked when they left her behind and in the dust. She said almost sullenly "aren't you guys supposed to be escorting me to the meeting point?"
"THAN HURRY UP!" kagome yelled out from the tree line as she jumped into the treetop.
Raksha ran forward, intent on catching up to the odd pair.
Kagome giggled as she ran through the treetops before a chain wrapped around her ankle.
She gasped and fell down to the forest floor, before she hit the ground. A bed of sand broke her fall and she was glaring up at the sky when Gaara and Madara jumped past her.
"NOT FAIR!" she cried out before jumping back into the tree tops and running after the two, she glared at their backs before taking out chakra rope and whipping it towards them, they looked back only to see the rope coming before having it wrap around them.
Kagome changed the properties of the earth they were falling to into mud and she snickered at their yelling as she jumped past.
Raksha came upon Madara and Gaara struggling and tied up in a patch of mud. She looked as they glared and sweat dropped. "DON'T JUST STAND THERE! UNTIE US, SHES GOING TO WIN!" Raksha ran forward with a kunai.
She let her head fall into her hands when as soon as they were freed, they jumped into the treetops running after kagome.
With a long drawn out sigh she ran into the tree tops. She was going at a slow pace to conserve energy so she can last a while, she thought that they would have to collapse from exhaustion soon….
It was a couple hours of jumping that she stopped and had some water and food pills.
Kagome was snickering behind her, 50 meters behind her was Gaara and Madara, they still are trying to catch up to her.
She jumped off a high branch, flipping in air she let sticky chakra threads span through the treetops and jumped away, she looked back at her trap and snickered. She would love to hear their reactions, but she has to get there first.
Madara was running on ahead, kagome was now 30 meters in front of them. He had a bad feeling….
He jumped off a branch, and him and Gaara got stuck in what seemed like spider web.
The weight of both him and Gaara caused them to be suspended upside down, staring down at the grass and bushed below.
"DAMNIT KAGOME!" kagome giggled and kept going.
Raksha blinked and was almost afraid to come forward to see what happened.
Gaara was trying to use his sand to get them out but it only clumped and became stuck. He looked over at Madara who was struggling. "uh… maybe we should let her win this one…" he tried saying quietly only for Madara to glare with his sharingan activated.
Gaara blinked in surprise when Madara activated his susano and used swords to cut up the threads.
They fell to the forest floor, Gaara jumped up after using his sand as a foothold.
Madara twisted in air and jumped off the trunk of a tree.
They both continued to run forward, Madara was thinking of ways to make kagome pay for that. Gaara was looking over at Madara worriedly… before he remembered they were supposed to escort one of the copies of kagomes that was in the communications unit.
He smiled nervously at Madara before falling behind. "you go catch up to kagome, I just remembered something."
He sweat dropped when Madara didn't even look his way. 'did he even hear me?' he thought with a pout before turning around and running behind to meet up with Raksha.
Madara was speeding through the forest after kagome and finally got close enough to see her, he was glaring at her back and she stiffened.
She looked back to see a severely pissed off Madara with his sharingan activated. She eeped and avoided looking at his eyes, not wanting to be pulled into a genjutsu.
She thought as she ran through the tree tops. 'lets see…' she was going over other distraction plans and such before she put her finger up as a light bulb appeared.
She threw chakra threads ahead of them, sticky with some paper bombs littering it and looked back at Madara, she stuck her tongue out at them before she pulled out a baton and jumped into the trap ahead of her, she twisted and turned, her baton making sure she didn't get stuck.
She snickered when she saw Madara within range, she slipped past the threads and let her baton go as she landed on a tree branch, looking back at madaras shocked look when he saw the baton heading right for his face.
She snickered and saw that he wasn't able to dodge in time due to the paperbombs.
She sat down and watched. Its either he dodges the baton and set off the paperbombs that will explode, or he can not dodge the paper bombs and let the paper bombs scatter throughout the area.
She tilted her head and almost fell off the branch laughing as the baton hit Madara in the face, knocking him down to the forest floor. He was out cold.
She fell off the branch and landed with a thud in a cloud of smoke.
She was still laughing as Gaara and Raksha came rushing by on gaaras sand. He blinked and doubled back only to see Madara with a red line down his face. His eyes were swirlies and there was a baton near his head.
He sweat dropped when he looked at a gasping and laughing kagome, now he knew what was to blame for madaras condition…
Raksha fell down anime style when she saw this and after a while of kagome laughing Madara got up and stalked towards kagome.
"mate…." He said dangerously only for kagome to look up with a gulp.
"you will pay for that…" she stuck her tongue out at him only for him to go down on her and capture her tongue in his mouth.
He was being rough with her before ripping open her corset, kagome gasped and tore off madaras shirt before running her hands through his spikey black hair while he went down to her breasts.
Gaara sweat dropped and pouted at them as Raksha coughed and looked the other way.
Gaara turned around with his arms crossed. "come on, they might be a while." He said as he used his sand cloud to bring them over to a stream in the direction of the place they should be at.
Raksha was looking around uncomfortably as Gaara stared at her intensely. "why are you so uncomfortable…" he growled out only for Raksha and blush.
"i…. I didn't expect that…" Gaara scoffed.
Kagome gasped and nearly cried out when Madara pulled her hair from behind and drove himself inside her roughly, making her whimper as he growled.
Madara wrapped kagomes hair around his fist as he used his other hand to bring kagome up, her still being on her knees as he squeezed her breast and bit her neck.
"Madara!" she cried out as he continued to ravage her.
Gaara leaned back against the tree trunk as he stared up at the now dark sky, he was able to see the stars and almost sighed as kagome and Madara went through the treeline into the clearing they were in.
Kagome had on a different set of clothes, so did Madara.
She walked over and plopped down next to Gaara before looking at Raksha. "uh… sorry for leaving you behind…" she said awkwardly only for Raksha to wave it away "its alright! Really!" she said with a big smile.
Kagome tilted her head curiously and looked at Raksha when Gaara leaned his head on her shoulder. "as it is, thanks to our speed in that, we are maybe… a quarter away…"
"NANI!" Raksha cried out.
"I DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD BE SO FAR!" she gasped out only for kagome, Gaara and Madara to laugh.
"cant you… do something about the distance?" Raksha said nervously as she looked around at the dark forest.
Kagome rolled her eyes "we don't want to get there and have to wait for the other teams. With how their rivalry is, they should be able to get to the places they need to go to within a week, if they didn't run into trouble. It will take them another week to get to the meeting point and another three days to suna. So far its only been a day. Once we are finished with the mission over in suna, than I will use my light orb to get back to the village."
Madara sweat dropped. "so you mean to tell us, that this race was pointless?" kagome laughed and leaned up before kissing Madara, she sighed blissfully before turned to the stream and looking into it.
She shook her head, the water wasn't clean and there weren't any fish. She put her hand to her charms and in a flash of pink was four bottles of water, she handed each to her group before putting her hand to another charm.
She cut up the meat and set up spits for each of them before wrapping some and putting it into the embers to roast.
She sat back and drank some water as Raksha stared down at hers. "whats wrong?"
Raksha looked up "how are you able to do that kagome-senpai…" she smiled and tilted her head "its just something ive learnt in my early days." She said wistfully as she stared into the fire.
"but… how come im not able to do that?" Raksha asked as she continued to stare into the bottle.
Kagome sighed "its because I left out abilities in my clones. I cant have them all knowing the same thing I know, nor can I have them all in the same power scale as me…"
"than… where am i?"
Kagome smiled and drank more. "your where you need to be Raksha, don't consider yourself me."
She saw the battle waging in rakshas eyes. "Raksha." She said and she looked up at her.
"just know, your you. Not me, not a reincarnation. Your Raksha, you have to learn your abilities just as anyone else. You will know your limits and train yourself to go beyond them." She saw as Raksha nodded with a newfound resolve.
She looked over as Gaara sat next to her. "you know kagome, I do not appreciate you and Madara leaving me behind."
Kagome blinked "im sorry Gaara" she said as she leaned over and kissed his neck. She felt him shiver.
She started kissing and sucking on his neck, leaving little hickies as he trembled and she leaned up before kissing him "we have to get used to not only being two…" she whispered as Gaara nodded.
Kagome pulled him close as she continued to kiss him and Raksha blushed before looking off to the side. She blinked at Madara who leaned against a tree and watched kagome and Gaara, she mouthed 'does it bother you?'
She blinked again when Madara shook his head with a smirk on his face. 'ive… ive gone to another a few times while I was away from kagome, I have no right to let it bother me.' He mouthed back.
He saw the troubled look on Rakshas face as he turned to Kagome and Gaara.
Gaara pulled away with a dazed look on his face as he traced the markings on kagomes cheek.
Kagome blinked and turned to the fire before taking out the meet that was roasting and took the meat that were on spits before handing one to Madara and Gaara before turning to Raksha.
She saw the look on rakshas face and tilted her head. Raksha gestured kagome over, she went and sat next to her.
She took the meet kagome offered her before kagome sat next to her.
She leaned over and whispered. 'are you sure… that the thing you guys have will work out.' Kagome glared at Madara 'it has to work out. Otherwise I don't know how I should feel about Madara anymore….' Raksha blinked at kagome.
Kagome used the link between her and Raksha and explained the situation with her memories. Raksha felt tears go down her face as she stared down at the meat she has in her hands and looked up at kagome.
'has it… you…' kagome looked up at the sky with a sad look. 'madara is my mate… he shouldn't want to do that in the first place, the fact that he did… it…' Raksha shook her head and bit into the meat before chewing thoughtfully.
'so you think having both you and Gaara will… smooth things out?' kagome nodded. 'his an inuyukai… he was still making the transition from human to youkai back then.. so I shouldn't be hard on him.' Kagome looked at Gaara fondly.
'besides, both me and Madara like Gaara.' Raksha blushed and continued to eat.
Once she was finished she looked over at kagome 'let me guess, you guys are new to a relationship like this?' she asked only to laugh at kagomes pouting face.
Kagome nodded and went to cut up the roasted meat and handed them to her group.
Once they were finished eating kagome pulled out bedrolls from her charms and she smiled when Gaara and Madara put theirs next to kagomes.
She leaned back in hers, her arm crossed behind her head as she looked up at the stars.
Gaara leaned towards kagome before tracing her marks again as Madara snuggled against her side and inhaled her scent.
'mate… im sorry…' his inner demon was crying out, he didn't know he hurt her that bad…
He looked over at Gaara and closed his eyes as he brought his hands around kagomes side.
Gaara wraped his arms around both kagome and Madara before drifting off to sleep, since he didn't have the kind of hearing the youkais had. He didn't hear the conversation.
The next morning kagome stretched and leaned back before giggling, she was laying across Gaara and Madara. She got up and looked around, it was still early morning.
She looked up at the sky and pouted before looking back and almost awed at the sight. Gaara and Madara shifted when kagome moved. Madara was holding Gaara as Gaara snuggled closer.
She looked over when she heard Raksha shift and she saw that she was awake.
'good morning' she mouthed, not wanting to wake the two. Kagome grinned 'morning' she mouthed back before taking out more meat from her charm and setting it up to cook.
She was poking the fires when she felt madaras aura fluctuate. She looked over and saw Madara open an eye and look up at her. she rushed over and kissed Madara before giggling. "good morning sleeping beauty" she said in a cheerful tone and Madara grumbled.
She laughed as Madara rolled over so his back was to her. he can be a bit of a grouch in the mornings.
Her laughing woke Gaara up who glared up at her before getting up slowly. He looked over at the fire and looked up at kagome.
She leaned down and kissed him "morning" she said just as cheerfuly only for her to yelp as Gaara took her and brought her down so she was laying next to him.
She was laughing when he snuggled against her "sleep." He commanded only for kagome to roll her eyes "we have to set out!" Madara rolled over and snuggled against gaaras back before looking down at kagome.
She sighed. "sleep." There is no way she will be able to win against those two.
She glared at them before looking over at the fire and the cooking meat. She saw as Raksha rolled her eyes and take the meat out before she snuggled closer and slept.
She woke up to poking. She opened her eyes and shut them against the glaring sun before peaking up.
She felt like murdering them, Madara and Gaara told her to sleep. Yet THEIR POKING HER WITH STICKS!
She growled and swiped her hand, youkai infused to fine points. They jumped back when the swipe cut the sticks and the strikes went towards them.
Madara scratched his head and laughed nervously as Gaara looked at anything but her.
She got up and blinked when Raksha gave her meat, Raksha sweat dropped. 'their right, shes a bigger grouch when shes woken up suddenly.' She sighed in relief when kagome just ate, glaring at Madara and Gaara.
Madara and Gaara sat across from her and they smiled before saying "as you said this morning, we should head out…" that was the wrong thing to say….
They yelped before jumping into the trees, trying to escape kagome who pulled out a chain with a weight at the end.
They were deep in the forest when they heard cracking and falling behind them. They looked back to see trees falling as a chain came hurtling at them. They yelped and tried to dodge only for the weight on the chain to brake the branch they dodged in.
The chain swung back and wrapped around both their bodies before they were thrown back to the clearing they ran from. Gaara blushed and looked up at Madara, this was appearantly turning him on…
Gaara shifted against Madara and nearly chuckled, it doesn't hurt to tease him…
They gulped and looked at a disturbingly calm kagome who was eating and drank from a water bottle.
They were tied up by the chain and on the sitting across from her again.
They tried to struggle against the chain and Madara even tried to break it. Nothing will work.
They calmed down after a while, thinking that kagome isn't mad at them anymore.
After she ate, her and Raksha cleared up camp and kagome put things away calmly, they were expecting her to let them go before they left…
But they started screaming when kagome and Raksha jumped into the treetops and just ran among the trees without a care, it didn't even effect kagome with the fact that she was carrying them by dragging them with the chain.
After they hit and broke a few branchs Gaara put a sand barrier around him and Madara and they sighed in relief. "remind me… why do we keep doing that?" Gaara laughed.
"youd think after the first time of pissing her off when we do that, we would learn to stop…" he said quietly as Madara rolled his eyes.
Suddenly Gaara and Madara hung onto the chains they were trapped in and screamed in terror.
'oh god, kagome noticed the barrier… shes… shes trying to break it' they both thought and they looked up in horror as there cracks in the sand on top.
"Gaara…." Madara said, terror clear in his tone.
Gaara concentrated chakra, veins showing up on his head from the strain as he strengthened the barrier.
'she must be pissed…' Gaara thought with a gulp when the barrier strengthened.
After a while of being bashed around, they both sighed in relief when it stopped and they slumped against each other.
They looked at each other and started laughing suddenly as they leaned their head against each other. 'thank god its over…' they both thought.
Outside the barrier kagome was giggling over at the ball of sand that was attached to her chain as her and Raksha went back into the tree tops.
The area of forest they were in now a demolished site filled with blood.
Somewhere in that site were body parts and crushed limbs of grass nin.
Raksha looked over at kagome "your having too much fun with that." She said dissaprovingly as kagome swung the chain and the ball crashed into a tree. They sweat dropped when they heard muffled screams. "nah, id say they deserve it." Kagome said with an evil grin.
Raksha rolled her eyes "though, that was kind of a good idea…" she said quietly as she looked over at the ball.
'im surprised it held up….' Raksha thought.
They ran ahead and for hours they jumped from tree top to tree top. It seems that blast they got from the grass nin blew them quite a bit away.
Kagome looked up at the sky, by nightfall. They will be halfway to the meeting point, she sighed and rubbed her head before turning to Raksha "food pill" she said when she held out her hand.
Raksha threw over a pouch and kagome took out a food pill before swallowing it.
Kagome passed the pouch over to Raksha and they looked on ahead, kagomes foot slipped on a branch and she was going to go down but Raksha jumped over and caught her before saying with a sigh "kagome-senpai…." Kagome stuck her tongue out before jumping back into the treetops.
"come on, the goal is to keep going until nightfall, get as far as possible!" she said as Raksha shook her head before getting up shakily. Kagome may be alright with going forward after a fight like that… but Raksha wasn't feeling so well…
Kagome looked over and gasped, Raksha collapsed and was heading for the ground headfirst…
She used her demonic speed and caught Raksha before setting her down gently.
She took out a bedroll and set Raksha into it as she poured reiki to her hand to analyze rakshas vitals.
She sighed, she was glad. Raksha wasn't too badly hurt, her ribs are a little bruised but that's to be expected after being used as a punching bag…
She rolled her eyes before putting Raksha under to sleep.
She looked over at the sand ball and used the mating bond to talk to Madara 'mate… tell Gaara he can let the barrier down now…' she felt a ping of fear from the bond as Madara asked 'your… your not mad?' he pouted when he only heard laughter.
He relayed the message from Gaara and the barrier crumpled to see kagome trying to hold back her laughter.
She sobered up and tugged on the chain. She continued to tug until her lovers were close enough to take the chain off.
Madara and Gaara were still trying to process the fact that Raksha was in a bed roll…
"what… what happened to her?" Gaara said quietly.
"oh its nothing, we were just attacked by graa nin earlier. She is just over exhausted." Her mate and Gaara blinked at her.
"WE WERE ATTACKED!" they yelled out only for kagome to smile nervously and scratch her head.
"yea…"
She facepalmed when Madara and Gaara rushed over to make sure she was okay.
"ALRIGHT IM FINE! QUIT FUSSING!" she yelled out and she sat back against a tree.
Madara and gaare sat in front of her and looked at her expectantly.
Kagome grinned at Gaara "good job on the barrier though!" she said, clearly proud of Gaara.
Gaara raised an eyebrow and Madara slapped his forehead.
"DID YOU SERIOUSLY THROW US AROUND AS A WEAPON!" Madara screamed out and kagome grinned "YEP!" she said cheerfully and Gaara twitched.
"anyways, their dead now." She said as the sand was sucked into Gaara gourd and he looked over at it surprised.
"theres… theres blood in my sand…" he said in awe and kagome rolled her eyes. "that's kind of to be expected." She said with her 'well duh.' Tone.
She looked over at Raksha "I put her under a medical sleep so she can heal properly, she should be ready to go tomorrow morning."
They looked over "how heavily is she under?" they both asked and kagome laughed. "elephants can have a stampede and she wont even notice!" she said almost proudly and yelped when they lunged at her.
Gaara was kissing her as Madara bit her neck, taking off her corset and letting his fingertips trail up her stomach and sides.
She arched her back, gently biting gaaras lip as Madara squeezed her breasts.
They went down on the grass as more clothing were removed and a while later she was leaning against gaaras chest as Madara traced circles on her shoulder from behind.
"next time.. warn us when something like that happens." Madara said with a shudder. Gaara stiffened and grabbed kagomes hands.
Kagome leaned towards Madara at the look of utter defeat and dismay crossed gaaras face "seriously… don't do that again." He said quietly and kagome kissed him "I make no promises" she said as she grinned at them.
She grind back against Madara as she let her fingertips trail down gaaras chest and abs before grasping him.
"your insatiable.." they both said in awe as kagome grinned.
The next morning kagome was kneeling before a sleeping Gaara and Madara, she was dressed in white leather pants, a red blouse and a white corset. Her swords were attached to the back of the corset as always and she looked down at her arm guards.
She couldn't decide on white arm guards or red, so she went with both. It made it look like her arm guards were splatter with blood but that will happen soon anyways.
She had a stick in each hand and she smirked. 'payback bitch.' She thought as she used demonic speed to rapidly poke Gaara and Madara.
They woke up, jumping in taijutsu stances before glaring down at a laughing kagome. "DAMNIT KAGOME!" they both yelled out, waking up Raksha who got up groggily, rubbing her eyes as she looked over at Madara and Gaara who were standing over kagome.
Kagome sobered up and layed back with her arms crossed and behind her head, she was looking up at Madara and Gaara. She smiled 'i believe I found the answer to your problem' her beast whispered and kagome blinked.
'what problem?'
'you want Gaara in the mating bond eh?' kagome nodded to her beast.
'next time… when you guys…' wow, even she can hear her beast blush. She was tempted to look in her minds eye to see what that actually looks like.
'anyways… when you guys… umm… well… alright just you and Madara mark him at the same time!' her beast sputtered out and kagome looked up at Madara and Gaara with a happy grin on her face.
Madara tilted his head having heard that conversation with her beast and raised an eyebrow at her.
The look in his eyes made kagome blush as she looked over at Gaara. Madara couldn't help but smile down at kagome as he held out a hand to help her up.
