Okay I got this idea after reading a fic with the same pairing. The story is called 'Every Waking Moment' and is written by Kagome Yuki Niwa, so if you like this one, go check it out!

Pairing: Hinata Hyuuga x Kagome Higurashi

Summary: It was raining, but wouldn't be all she remembered about that night…

Disclaimer: Inuyasha and Naruto belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Masashi Kishimoto respectively.

Additional notes: In case you couldn't tell from the pairing, this is a shojo-ai, so no likey, no ready. I've given you warning, so don't complain when you see two girls kissing. Also, this is my first shojo-ai story so please, please be gentle!

Toketsu

Her breath came out in short bursts as the sky in front of her face becoming misty with the clash of hot breath and cold air. Legs pumping hard, she ran deeper into the copse. A single kunai whizzed past her shoulder, halting her movements. She turned, flinging one back at the attacker. Hearing a dull thud, she smiled to herself and began to run again. Sighing in relief, she knew that she was safe for the moment.

"Hey there's someone over here!"

She became instantly alert as she heard the voice, the male voice she deduced. Grabbing her last kunai from the pouch, she gave it a quick blessing before leaping into the trees. She watched the small group of people below, searching for her. Hmm…two boys, a girl and an older woman. 'They must be a cell.' She thought. 'Judging by their forehead protectors, Konoha ninja. Great, our villages were allies!' She jumped down from the branch and landed in front of them, taking note of their defensive position. "I mean no harm, our villages are allies."

The elder woman took one look at the snowflakes and tiny star carved into the girl's forehead protector and smiled. She gave a small nod. "I am Kurenai of Konohagakure, House of Sarutobi; it is an honor to meet you."

The girl gave a bow back, as was tradition between the highly respected ancient houses. "It is my pleasure to meet you too Kurenai. I am Kagome of Koorigakure, House of Toketsu."

"What are you doing so far from Koori Kagome?" Kurenai asked.

"My village is no more." Kagome said. "We came under attack from Sound and my cell lead as many of them as far away as we could. He saw the explosion that came a few days travel from here."

Kurenai gasped. "And what of your teammates?"

Kagome sat down on the ground, seeing as they were of no threat. "I parted ways with my teammates two days ago, not long after the explosion. We figured that the less Sound-nin in the world, the better."

Kurenai gave a small nod. "Would you like help to track your teammates?"

Kagome shook her head. "I sent out a tracker kit to locate them and come find me in a week regardless of the results."

"Do you have a place to go now, or would you like to come back to our village with us?"

Kagome merely shrugged. "Don't really care." She said. Her world went black and she collapsed from chakra exhaustion.

She woke up in a pale blue room in a bed with white sheets. Glancing around the room, she saw a boy sitting by her bedside with long brown hair tied back and piercing lavender eyes. Smiling softly at him, Kagome spoke. "Would you be as kind as to tell me where I am and who you are?" Her defenses never dropped and she silently assessed him. He had the physique of a shinobi, just like her.

"You are in one of the guest rooms in the main branch of the Hyuuga house. I am Neji, nephew of the head and member of the branch clan." He explained. "Hiashi-sama requested that I bring you to him when you woke."

Kagome nodded and pulled off the sheets. She picked up her forehead protector from the bedside and tied it around her left wrist; her only unknown weak point, before moving toward the door where Neji now stood. "Very well, let us be going shall we?"

Neji lead her down the hall to set of sliding shoji doors and opened then, giving a small bow to the occupants. "Hiashi-sama, your guest is awake."

"Bring her in." Hiashi said.

Neji walked Kagome into the room and gave her a small bow. "I will leave you here Kagome-sama."

Kagome nodded and looked at Hiashi. "Thank you for allowing me to recover in your home Hiashi-sama."

Hiashi shook his head. "It is an honor to have the daughter of the Toketsu head in our home Toketsu-sama. Your father and I were friends, and I am very sorry for your loss."

"They protected our village until their dying breath." Kagome replied. "That is all that matters."

Hiashi indicated to a seat beside the low table he was drinking tea at. Pouring her a cup, he smiled. "Please take a seat honorable guest, I will send for my younger daughter Hanabi so that she may entertain you with her skills to lift your spirits."

Kagome took the tea with small thanks and sighed. "There is no need for that Hiashi-sama, my spirits will only be put at ease once my tracker kit returns with information of my teammates."

"Very well." He said, taking a sip of his drink. "Would you care to tell me what occurred the night of the disaster Toketsu-sama?"

"Please refrain from formalities Hiashi-sama and call me Kagome. You have, after all, seen me without my clothes." She said with a grin.

Hiashi gave a chuckle. "Yes, you were always quick to dispose of your clothing as a child. Preferring to run around in nothing with a wooden shuriken in your hands."

"How is the family doing?" Kagome asked. "I am afraid that I haven't seen you since Taila's passing."

"Yes that was tragic for all of us." Hiashi said, sadness taking over his eyes at the thought of his late wife. "But we have been getting on. My eldest, Hinata, has just been promoted to Chuunin, while my beloved Hanabi has been selected to graduate a year early."

Kagome nodded. "That is wonderful news. Where are your daughter's now? I doubt that they would even remember me."

"Hanabi is at the academy and Hinata is with her teammates handing in a mission report. It was her that found you." He said. "She brought you straight here."

She smiled slightly, hearing a light whining coming from a small distance away. "Excuse me please Hiashi-sama, it seems my tracker kit is back with his report." She walked out of the room and to the entrance of the estate. Smiling softly at the small orange kit, she nodded at the guards. "It is okay Haru, Tomei, he is with me."

"Yes Toketsu-sama." They replied in unison, knowing her from her visits in the past.

Kagome bent down and picked up the small kit. "Shippo, report."

"Inuyasha was found close to Koori, he was in real bad shape but I sent the word out to Youko to get him to one of the bordering villages so that a healer could tend to his wounds." Shippo said. "And I found Miroku in Suna; he is currently being healed there."

"Who found Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, slowly walking back to the main house with Shippo trotting along beside her.

"Jak found Inuyasha and gave word to Bankotsu to tell me." Shippo explained. "Then I passed word onto Youko."

Kagome nodded. "And what of sensei?"

"I'm sorry Kagome, but Naraku-sensei was slain." Shippo said sadly.

Her eyes fell. "Was he victorious?"

Shippo nodded enthusiastically. "There wasn't a Sound-nin close to him that wasn't annihilated."

"Wonderful then, he died a warrior." Kagome said happily. "You may go now Shippo; send word out to Inuyasha and Miroku that I am in Konoha."

With a poof the orange kit was gone.

Kagome spread some blankets out on the floor of her new apartment in the democrat tower and sighed. As soon as Tsunade heard that the village of Koori had fallen, she had offered the lone survivor of the Toketsu clan a place to stay and a position in the chuunin ranks. She was slowly working toward furnishing her house, not wanting to spend the money that her parents left her nor take the offer of assistance that Hiashi and the Hyuuga house had offered. "You were always too independent Kagome." He had said. Hearing a knock at the door, Kagome walked to the entrance and smiled at her visitor. "Afternoon Neji, what brings you here?"

"Hiashi-sama requested that I come over and see how you are doing." He replied. "Would you care to take a walk with me?"

Kagome nodded and reached into the bowl she kept her keys in by the door. "That would be acceptable. Tell me; is Hinata available this afternoon too? I would love to see her again."

"Of course Kagome-sama." Neji replied as he two began to walk away from her door and out of the tower.

"I have told you countless times Neji to just call me Kagome." She said swiftly.

Neji nodded and lead her to where Hinata was training with her teammates. He heard Kagome give a small gasp at seeing her and looked toward her. "Is something the matter Kagome?"

Kagome shook her head. "No, merely observing how beautiful she has gotten."

"Yes, Hinata-sama has grown into quite a beauty." Neji agreed.

Spotting them, Hinata stopped her vicious attack on Shino and walked over. "Good afternoon Neji, may I ask what you are doing here?"

Neji bowed to the Hyuuga heiress respectively and motioned to Kagome. "Kagome asked me to bring her to see you."

Hinata turned and grinned at the older woman. "Kagome, it has been a few years has it not? I am afraid that I never had a chance to speak with you seeing as you fell unconscious not long after we were reunited."

Kagome blushed and ran to embrace the young woman. "Yes, it has been too long Hinata. Would you are to catch up with me? Over lunch?"

Hinata turned to Kurenai to ask, but her sensei merely waved at her. "Go, have fun with your friend, I'm sure Shino will not mind continuing your spar at a later date."

Shino shook his head and turned to Kiba, a silent request easily picked up by the dog user.

Hinata grasped Kagome's hand as the two walked through the busy festive streets, laughing merrily. It had been three months since Kagome had come to Konoha and a month since she was inducted as a Konoha shinobi. Her team had since dispersed, Inuyasha moving to Mizu to start afresh and Miroku staying in Suna. He was completely devoted to the woman who healed him. Kagome however, was completely devoted to Hinata, and knew that the younger woman was devoted to her too. About a month ago, after a lot of coercing, Hinata had agreed to Kagome's request for a date. The pair had walked around the busy streets, stopping occasionally to buy small trinkets from local vendors. It had been a welcome break from missions and everything else. Kagome had known she was attracted to Hinata since they were children, times when Kagome preferred the young girls stuttering company above everyone else's. Hinata was a little surprised at herself when she turned down a invitation to dinner with Naruto in favour of training with Kagome, but had slowly accepted the fact that she found the Toketsu heiress' company appealing. Slowly, the small flirts began to go both ways; soft touches of hands and the brushing of feet under tables became a regular occurrence. Soft kisses were placed on two sets of pale cheeks, rosy lips.

"Kagome, look. The fireworks are starting." Hinata said, tugging on Kagome's hand.

Kagome looked up to the sky, watching as the bursts of colour invaded the dark sky. Her hands pulled Hinata closer, taking her to her side as they watched the array of colour light up the sky, their eyes. Looking into opalesque eyes, Kagome smiled. "You look beautiful tonight Hinata."

Hinata blushed and smiled back at Kagome. "You look beautiful too." Hinata hugged Kagome closer, reaching up to plant a soft kiss on Kagome's lips, blissfully sighing as it was returned. "I love you Kagome."

"I love you too Hinata." Kagome replied, running a hand across Hinata's cheek. "You've brightened my life in more ways than you know."

Snuggling into her girlfriend's shirt, Hinata sighed.
