Chapter 26:

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.

Once kagome got up she looked over at Raksha. "how are you feeling?" she watched as Raksha tenderly checked her sides and look up in surprise "i-im… im alright" she said in awe making kagome laugh. "so I take it your ready to head out again?" she saw Raksha nod and she turned to madara and Gaara.

"maybe… maybe we should use your sand to travel Gaara." She said almost disappointed.

Kagome put everything away as she watched Raksha get ready and heave the pack onto her back. she nodded to Gaara before sand gathered underneath their feet.

Raksha was still unsure of being carried around in sand, she was afraid she would fall through.

Gaara rolled his eyes and had them all on one pile and they set off for suna. While they were traveling, kagome pulled out jerky and some sake.

They looked at kagome questioningly when she pulled out the sake, but they took the jerky as kagome sat down and took a swig of the flask.

She sighed and looked up at the sky. "mate… why?" Madara asked, looking down at the flask. Kagome shrugged "its just… the last time I was in suna…" she said as Madara nodded in understanding.

She put the flask away and started eating the jerky until kunai came hurtling at them. Gaaras sand went up and protected them from the attacks.

Kagome sighed and looked over as Gaara put down the sand to see who was attacking.

When she saw that it were priest from suna she started rubbing her head and put up a pink barrier. "just… just keep going, please?" she asked, not wanting to see what priests let themselves become.

She looked up shocked before tugging on gaaras sleeve. "go east." She said as they changed direction. She focused her reiki barrier and slowed it to become lens as it focused through the forests.

She rubbed her temple when she saw Kakashi and Tenzou struggling against ANBU from konoha, they didn't have their hiate-ate…

Tenzou was heavily wounded as Kakashi tried to support him as Tenzou used his woodstyle jutsu to create a barrier between them and ANBU.

Kagome looked over at Gaara as gaaras speed doubled, she sighed. They wont make it in time. She thought as she saw the byakugan…

She grabbed madaras hand and used her light orb.

Madara was in the wooden barrier with Kakashi and Tenzou as he provided chakra to help strengthen it. Kagome leapt in front of the air palm that was aimed at the wooden barrier and coughed up blood as she smirked up at Neji.

"I see tsunade has you doing her dirty work." She said with a sneer as the ANBU stepped back.

Kagomes leather mended and she got up as she wiped her mouth.

She looked at the Byakugan and sighed. "neji…" she said softly and she watched him take a step back from her.

"h-how." He said as he stared at the fact that kagome was still standing.

Kagome walked forward calmly as she looked at each ANBU. "you guys are not to hurt kakashi or Tenzou anymore. I am putting them under my protection." She saw as ANBU jumped into the tree tops and disappeared. Neji was preparing to follow behind but he froze.

"tell tsunade she wasnt fast enough." She said as neji looked back before disappearing also.

Kagome turned as the wooden barrier went down and she rushed forward, she brought out two glowing pink hands and put them on Kakashi and tenzous shoulders before healing them.

She blinked as they tackled her to the ground, rubbing their faces in her hair.

"gome!" Tenzou said as Kakashi looked down at her.

"uh?" she said as they helped her up.

They bowed to her "thank you kagome." They said as they looked up at her "we… we would like to join your village." Kakashi said seriously and kagome slapped her forehead.

"you can join, but we will not be heading there right now. We are on a mission to suna, as it is were only halfway to the meeting point." Kakashi blinked at kagome. "but you have instintanous teleportation, you can get there within an hour" Kakashi said.

Kagome laughed "we are taking our time kaka-kun, I have my genins on a mission to escort some people to the some villages. We are to meet them at the border of suna."

Kakashi blinked and Tenzou slumped forward. "your confusing." They said, still not getting it and Gaara and Madara along with Raksha set down at kagomes side.

Kakashi and Tenzou glared at Madara, ignoring the fact that Gaara is there also. They pointed at him "whats he doing here?" they asked darkly only for kagome to sigh.

"his my mate. And 'feudal lord' of akuma. If you have a problem with him, than surely you would not like staying in akuma."

Kakashi looked over as Tenzou asked "whys that kagome?"

Kagome grinned. "because the akatsuki are part of it!" she took a step back at their murderous glares and sighed before looking over at Gaara. "it seems we will be bringing these two along with us."

Kakashi and Tenzou put their hand on each others shoulders to steady themselves.

Gaaras sand sped past as they weaved through trees and by nightfall he allowed the sand to set them down in a clearing. Kagome and Madara rushed forward when Gaara collapsed.

Kagome picked Gaara up and Madara set up a fire pit as Raksha prepared the meat kagome brought out from her charms. Kakashi and Tenzou blinked at how fast they worked, Gaara only collapsed a minute ago!

Kagome leaned back on the tree, Gaara settled on her lap with his head on her shoulder. She sighed down at him and held him close. She needs to have a talk with him about him pushing his limits.

Kakashi and Tenzou were watching in morbid fascination as they went about setting up camp and blinked when Gaara opened his eyes and snuggled closer to kagome as she smiled.

They looked over at each other, didn't she say Madara was her mate?

They looked over at Madara who was poking the fire as embers were created in the centre, Raksha handed over a wrapped chunk of meat as Madara set it into the embers.

They went over to Madara as he sat down in front of the fire. "uh?" they asked, lost for what to do and not exactly sure what was going on.

Madara looked over at them, his sharingan activated. "what is it." He said distantly as he stared in the fire, not interested in the two ex ANBU. He was more worried about Gaara but he knew kagome would know what to do if it was something bad.

They opened their mouths to say something until Gaara opened his eyes and kagome glared down at him.

"DAMNIT GAARA! DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT AGAIN!" kagome yelled only for Gaara to jump away and hide behind Madara.

Kakashi and Tenzou sweat dropped and blinked.

"wait, whats the kazekage doing here anyways?" kagome laughed nervously. "well, he sort of came to akuma on behalf of something I wrote to his council, now me and Madara are escorting him back to suna."

Gaara blinked at kagome. "but I thought?" Madara and kagome shook their heads.

Raksha grabbed some meat and handed it to the group as she ate quietly, watching the odd group and hoping for some sort of explosion.

Gaara twitched.

Kagome looked over and shared a look with Madara.

Gaara twitched again.

Madara took kagomes hand and they ran into the treetops.

"YOU DID ALL THAT!?" kagome yelped as Madara increased his speed to his demonic speed.

In the distance. "YOU DID ALL THAT BECAUSE OF THAT!?" Gaara yelled out as there was an explosion.

Madara looked back and kagome yelped, she steadied him when he sliped and they kept running.

"YOUR DEAD!" Gaara yelled out when there was a sand tsunami heading for them with Gaara on top of it.

"damnit Madara! Your not fast enough!" kagome yelled out and took over, Madara looked back and sighed in relief when the sand tsunami started to get further.

At the camp Raksha was doubled over laughed as Kakashi and Tenzou went out of a sand pile and coughed up sand.

They pointed at Raksha "WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" they cried out only to sweat drop when Raksha was too busy laughing.

She gasped in breath but kept laughing as she held her stomach.

After a while she wiped the tears off her cheek and smiled up at the sky, they never fail to entertain that's for sure. It makes being away all this time and staying in forests worth it.

She blinked when Kakashi and Tenzou leaned over her, now in her line of sight. She blushed when she saw them glaring at her "nani?" she asked and they fell over anime style.

"we said, what just happened?" they asked and Raksha giggled. "oh, they just pissed off Gaara." She said in a matter of fact tone.

They sweat dropped. "do they always do that?" Raksha nodded and looked over with a blush. "im just glad they didn't piss him off enough for him to establish his dominance. Sometimes kagome does that to Madara." She squeezed her legs together and sighed, of course the original has to have someone as delicious as Madara.

They blinked at her. "uh?" Raksha waved away her hands as she had a pleasant look on her face along with a blush "ah, nothing. Thing that happened is they pissed off Gaara, that's it." They looked in the path of destruction from gaaras sand tsunami.

"will.. will they be okay?" they asked and Raksha rolled her eyes. "they will be fine!" she ran in the middle of the path. "come on! we cant let them leave us behind!" she cried out as Kakashi and Tenzou ran after her.

Kagome gulped when the tsunami started to come close. "oh god kagome, his gaining speed!" Madara said as he ran with kagome. They both looked back and back in front and yelped before dodging a tree.

Them separating and having to turn to the side caused them to stumble, they fell and both crashed into trees.

They were looking at the sand tsunami that was getting close.

'damnit…' they thought, wishing their healing can speed up.

They tried to get up and they walked over to each other.

"its no use Madara…" kagome said as sand wrapped around their ankles.

They were swept up and brought to the top of the tsunami to see a murderous Gaara. They smiled nervously "babe…" they tried to say only for Gaara to "hn."

They were ready to receive whatever punishment he thought to give them when he suddenly smiled. They blinked. "caught you…" he said quietly and they were brought down into the sand, it tearing their clothes on the way and kagome rolled her eyes as madara looked over at her.

Raksha rolled her eyes, having felt the shift in aura as she grabbed Kakashi and Tenzou. They tried to run forward but with her grip on them they lost their footing and landed back on their asses. "DAMNIT! LET US GO! WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE KAGOMES OKAY!" Kakashi yelled out.

Raksha shook her head "their fine." She said as she looked around. She sighed, stopping here should be fine.

She sat back onto the sand and blinked when Tenzou held up his fist to her. "DON'T YOU GET IT! KAGOMES IN DANGER!" he yelled out and Kakashi opened his eye and glared with his sharingan.

"we are going. Your not stopping us." He said as they turned around and ran ahead.

Raksha slapped her forehead and followed after them.

Kakashi and Tenzou went to the very end where the sand stopped and looked away blushing.

Raksha peeked over their shoulders and giggled.

Kagome yelped and put her reiki, youki and chakra forth as they covered them and looked up at Kakashi and Tenzou, face crimson red.

"uh…" she said shyly as Madara rolled his eyes and Gaara kept his mouth shut.

"it seems madara isn't the only one who likes to assert dominance kagome-senpai" Raksha said as she looked around at the torn clothes.

Kagome put her hand to her charms and brought out clothes for her and Madara, she pouted over at Gaara. "you never gave me a set of clothes to seal away." She said as Gaara blinked.

That's right, he didn't. he looked down at the chakra cloak he was wearing and blinked.

"I guess this will have to do than." He said sullenly and Madara chuckled.

"kagome, didn't I give you a t-shirt and shorts?" he asked as kagome nodded.

Kagome put her hand to her charm, black shorts and a red t-shirt came out. Kagome looked over at Gaara and took out a mesh shirt as she handed them to him.

He put his sand up as he dressed, when it went down kagomes eyes widened as she tackled him. She was rubbing her cheek on his "OH MY GOD!" she screamed out as Kakashi and Tenzou sweat dropped. "YOUR SO KAWAII!" she said as Gaara wrapped his sand around her waist and lifted her away.

She was dangling from his sand trying to escape until she slumped forward and glared at Gaara.

"hmmph." She finally said and Gaara let her down.

They looked around and sweat dropped, they looked over at the sand desert and kagome laughed. "well than! I guess we just need to wait than!" she said as she walked over to the border and tilted her head, she looked down at the path of destruction.

"mate, you should put the sand into the desert." Madara was going to open his mouth to tell her that he cant do that. Then he blinked, they both marked Gaara. A smile slowly made its way on his face as he rushed forward and picked up kagome and Gaara into a bear hug.

"isn't it wonderful" he breathed out and Gaara blinked, he can feel them in his mind.

He blinked at kagome and Madara. "yes! It worked!" she cheered and Kakashi and Tenzou looked at Raksha. "?"

She laughed and waved her hands at them "you don't want to know!" she said as kagome buried her face in gaaras neck and kissed her mark, Madara leaned down and kissed his mark.

Gaara blushed and smiled shyly "so?" kagome nodded. He looked at Madara "am i?" he nodded to and kagome coughed. "as I was saying, put the sand back!" she said sternly and they sweat dropped.

Madara put them down and Gaara stood in front of the sand, he held out his hands and the sand slowly gathered before rushing into the desert in a river.

They blinked, now theres sand dunes on this part of the border.

Kagome rushed up onto the sand and collapsed onto it at the top as she looked up at the clear sky.

The rest of the group went up to meet her and Kakashi and Tenzou had their arms crossed down at her "you know, its been a while since we last saw each other." Tenzou said as kagome blinked, he was right.

She lunged at them and hugged them tight "I missed you guys!" she said happily as they hugged back. Madara put his face in his hands. And Gaara crossed his arms, looking off in the distance were suna was.

He looked over at kagome and Madara, they were right to escort him. Especially since they can help draw out the people who wants to assisnate him.

He put his hand to his chin. "madara, kagome. Put a henge on." kagome nodded and put her henge in place as she became koneko and smiled up at Kakashi and Tenzou.

She growled when they put their elbows on her head and grinned off in the direction of suna. "ARG!" she said as she pushed them down the sand dune.

She was laughing as they finally stopped at the bottom in a cloud of dust.

"she never changed…" they said, still dizzy from the tumble down.

Madara sat cross legged in the direction of the forest, he crossed his arms and closed his eyes.

He twitched when kagome poked his cheek. He tried to ignore her. he twitched again when Gaara joined in poking him.

He ignored Gaara too.

Raksha and giggled, she gestured Kakashi and Tenzou up and they came up.

They joined them in poking Madara.

He twitched again. He growled and flared his youki at the annoying group and opening his eyes "STOP THAT ALREADY!" he said as kagome giggled.

They started poking him again and he twitched.

He used susano and he glared at everyone in the group when they were held up in hands.

Kakashi and Tenzou were panicing, thinking they were done for. "WERE SORRY!" they cried out but Gaara and kagome just crossed their arms, glaring at Madara.

They blinked at them, they turned to Raksha and saw her leaning on her hand, elbows leaning on the hand holding her. she was staring at Madara casually and Kakashi and Tenzou looked at each other.

"nani?" they said as they turned to raksha, it seems she is the one who can give them answers when it turns to the odd couple.

Raksha held up a finger, than the hands lowered them onto the ground. Madara had his arms crossed as his foot tapped the sand.

Kagome and Gaara looked at each other before turning to Madara and smiling.

They tackled him and started snuggling him, kagome rubbing her cheek on his cheek as Gaara nipped at his neck.

Madara sighed "its impossible to stay mad at you guys." He said sullenly, kagome and Gaara jumped up cheering and Kakashi and Tenzou did a double take, seeing Gaara this way.

Madara layed back on the sand and glared up at the sky before his face softened and he looked over at kagome than Gaara.

After a while of doing nothing kagome got bored and pulled out her ipod. She put on the headphones instead of the earbuds and blinked at Madara who tugged on her hair. He held out his hand with a pout and she giggled as she pulled out an ipod for him.

Gaara was watching curiously, not having seen kagome use it before. Kakashi and Tenzou rolled their eyes and layed back intent on taking a nap. Kagome did heal them and replemish their chakra a bit. But they would still need sleep in order to be at a hundred percent.

Kagome giggled at Madara and held out headphones instead of earphones. Madara switched it out and nodded to kagome, they ran into the desert and her group were going to run after them but kagome knew they would do that so she yelled out "DON'T FOLLOW US!" they stayed back and watched as Madara and kagome became specs.

They blinked when suddenly madaras susano became visible, a huge giant in middle of the desert. They blinked again when there was a pinkish purple spec hitting the giant and sweat dropped when an arm came off.

The arm grew back and they felt the shock waves as wind blew at them, sand was blown into the forest and they covered their face. Still watching as the pink spec became another giant.

They felt their knees shake as they felt the sheer power of it, the giants started clashing together and kagome pulled out one of a her swords.

They gasped when arcs of black started heading for the purple giant, the giant jumped into the air and held out its sword to block the shockwaves from the attack.

The pinkish purple giant jumped after it and they gasped when a sword was thrust through it.

Kagome was giggling and she saw the excited look in madaras eyes as they battled, Madara pulled out susano so kagome allowed her reiki and youki to engulf her as it became a version of the susano. She was slashing her sword which had enlarged at Madara.

Kagome was listening to three days grace as they battled and she knew Madara was listening to music as well.

After a while of trading blows, they dispersed their jutsu and rushed at each other in hand to hand combat, kagome was hitting him with blows of reiki in chakra points. Since its reiki and not chakra, it will hurt like a son of a bitch, but it wont damage him. At first it will be very painful but after the battle. It will be more painful as it heals him.

They kept at it and she kept dodging his kicks and punches, she was going to kick him across the face when Madara caught her ankle.

Her eyes widened in a show of surprise and Madara smirked, he felt himself stiffen when kagome grinned at him and she turned in mid air, kicking him in the other side of the head with the foot he didn't have a hold on.

He went flying a few meters and spat out blood before wiping his mouth.

Kagome had her hands on her hips as she smirked at him, he lunged at her, aiming punches for her midsection and snickered when a couple contacted, she was trying hard not to let it affect her. but he can tell from her slowing movements.

He continued his onslot and she switched her defensive stance to offensive and he had to dodge her attacks.

Suddenly from behind she jumped and slashed her arm across his shoulders and he went down hard, he went up on his arms as he spat out more blood. He turned around to glare at kagome 'she was supposed to be slowing down… not speeding up' he thought angrily.

She was still smiling down at him than he did hand signs rapidly. She gasped and wrapped herself in water as a huge fireball went her way.

She was able to endure it, but the water she had herself in evaporated to steam. She glared back at the desert the fireball went through and saw clear glass.

She looked around her and giggled happily before using the steam against Madara.

He had to dodge it, but the steam went too close to his arm, scorching his skin. He swore and threw up his hand as lightning came hurtling at kagome. Kagome danced around it before rushing at Madara with crystal around her arm in a jaded sword.

Madara concentrated his youki and made his own sword on his arms, they were pale yellow as he clashed with kagome.

His two swords against her one was almost too much for him, the force of the blows rattled him to the bones and he can feel the bruising already forming on his arms.

Kagome held out her unoccupied hand and a flash of purple rushed at him, he locked her sword in his and dodged the purple flash.

It went wild, going across the desert as the very sand exploded from contact with it.

Once the purple beam reached its limit, which was a few miles away. It became a concentrated blast as it exploded in that area far off.

Madara grinned madly before concentrating his youki into beams and attacking kagome with it.

She held up a reiki shield against it, but with a concentrated attack like that. She was only able to protect a small area at a time, while she was protecting herself against it, she was lunging at him with her sword.

They continued to battle as they used their beams to try to get each other.

Madara snarled out when her beam slashed across his shoulder, he pulled a arm back as he put it in the path of the beam, he turned his hand slightly as the beam went up into the sky.

That slight hesitation allowed kagome to lung at him, her purple beam dissipated as she brought her sword down, he tried to dodge her blow only for her to knock his weapon aside with her reiki shield.

He went down with her on top of him, her legs trapping his arms to his side as she held her jaded sword against his neck.

'submit.' She said in triumph and he growled out.

He flared out his youki mixed with chakra, she was thrown off him.

He went forward with his sharingan activated and he felt a slight change in his eyes. She met him halfway and they traded blows, she giggled and concentrated chakra.

She opened her mouth, took a deep breath in and spat out the concentrated chakra. Madaras eyes widened when a stream of lava was rushing at him, he felt a burst of chakra as the lava was repelled and kagome pouted at him.

Kakashi and Tenzou were watching in awe as they saw the beams slashing across the desert, sometimes causing explosions and sometimes leaving a scar on the very desert itself. Tenzou blinked at the path of destruction and saw that their attacks were melting the sand itself into glass.

Raksha was pouting at kagome 'why cant I be that strong…' she thought.

Madaras susano went up again and kagome gasped as she was forced to dodge the sword that swung down on her.

She jumped at Madara and enfused her hand with wind and lightning as she brought her fist down onto the barrier around Madara.

The encasing in the susanos forehead that contained Madara cracked.

Kagome grinned and Madara was looking at her with desire clear in his eyes.

She turned and brought her leg down in a swift kick and the susano shattered beneath her.

Madara went falling down into the sand as kagome fell with him. She winced when he landed with a thud onto his back and she landed next to him, kneeling before him.

He tilted his head to the side. Bearing his throat in submission and kagome leaned down before baring her fangs against his exposed throat.

She growled and he wrapped his arms around her, he held her close as she started kissing his neck and she giggled down at him. She took off her headphones and he did the same.

"we should take more time to fight again Madara…" she said "we don't fight as much as we used to anymore" he nodded in agreement and brought her down on his lap, holding her down onto him as she leaned down and kissed him.

She put her hands on his chest as they deepened the kiss.

After a while kagome and Madara pulled away from each other reluctantly, usually their battles would end in… favorable conditions… but they had a team who was no doubt wondering why the fuck they would suddenly start attacking each other.

Kagome sighed as Madara gripped her hips and grind against her one more time before letting her go. She got up and held out a hand, he grabbed it and she helped him up.

They started walking to the overly shocked group as she snuggled his arm, he smiled down at kagome 'I love how strong she is…' he thought as he brought up a hand and caressed her cheek. 'she always excites me during battle… shes so fun to fight…' he thought. Hashirama used to give him a good battle but after the last time they fought, no one was able to compare to his power.

His eyes softened. Than he made a bad decision in trying to put kagome down in terms of power. She corrected him rather quickly, since then, they have fought every chance they can for that rush again. She needs to hold back a bit on him, but that's because if she went full strength than she would not only kill him. But the unfortunate souls that were miles around.

He can tell fighting him is just as exciting for her as it is for him. They were walking up the sand dune now and saw as Kakashi and Tenzou looked at them with questions in their eyes.

Gaara growled out "what the fuck was that!" he snarled and looked at the destruction they caused.

Kagome sweat dropped. "uh…." She said, scratching her head.

Madara looked down at kagome. "we fight each other to let out steam. It's a sort of stress relief for us, not only that but its damn exciting." He said and Gaara looked down, he rolled his eyes when he saw madaras obvious enthusiasm.

Kakashi blinked and Tenzou pointed at kagome "is that why you never got mad at us during ANBU?" Tenzou asked and kagome nodded.

They shivered, even dozens of miles away they felt the power coming off of the two. They looked at each other.

"im just glad its not me" they said and kagome laughed. "sorry, but Madara is the only one who I can even at least fight semi-serious with." She rubbed her cheek on his arm and bit her lip when he flexed.

Madara looked down "its been a while since we last fought though." He wished they were alone.

Gaara twitched. "YOU DESTROYED MY DESERT!" he yelled out holding a fist against his two lovers and he blinked when they leaned down and kissed his cheek.

"well make it up to you." They said at the same time.

A couple minutes later they were surrounded on all sides, leaf nin, wave nin, cloud nin. Everyone from nations around suna ran towards them and they were trapped within a circle.

Kakashi and Tenzou turned their back as kagome and Madara did the same. Their back was to each other with Raksha in the centre, kagome had her cresent blades out as Madara held up his weapon.

Kakashi and Tenzou had kunais drawn and looked at their weapons before Madara and kagomes. The sweat dropped 'we need to get some specialized weapons…' they thought.

Each nin from each nation stepped forward. "we are here on reports of massive amounts of chakra from suna." They each said and they looked over at Gaara who was on a sand cloud above the four, sand spikes aimed at each nation.

"kazekage. What is the meaning of this." They said.

All the nin were trying not to show how afraid they were, they had reports of massive amounts and they couldn't believe that it broke the scales that they had in place. The power and amount of chakra that were being discharged was off the charts.

Only through sheer determination did they not shake, they thought Gaara was the meaning of it.

It seems sunas weapon was more powerful than they thought.

Madara and kagome laughed nervously "we are so sorry about that…" they said in unison. They forgot to put up power restraining barriers and forgot to put up each points to supress the chakra being discharged from their attacks.

The enemy nins held up a kunai against Madara and kagome when they spoke.

Madara and kagome stepped forward, holding each others hands as they held it up "we are the feudal lord and akumakage of akumagakure no sato. We would like to apologize for the little incident."

A leaf nin yelled out "WHY WOULD YOU APOLOGIZE!"

Sand nin pointed kunais towards Gaara. "THE MONSTER IS TO BLAME!"

It seems the nations were dead set in believing Gaara to be responsible for this incident.

Kagome and Madara looked at each other before sighing. Kagome infused large amounts of chakra and reiki and let it explode into the hand that was holding madaras.

Madara infused youki and chakra and did the same thing kagome did.

Everyone took a step back at that unfathomable amount of power.

They fell to their knees having been close enough to feel the sheer power of it, they were trying to breath as kagome snarled at everyone. "stand down or we will treat this as an attack on our person!" Madara infused more chakra and youki as kagome did the same.

They fell to the ground clutching their chest.

Each nin fron each nation choked out "alright…."

Madara and kagome stopped the flow and she smiled down at everyone happily "now was that so hard!" she said cheerfully.

Everyone got up slowly, looking at the feudal lord and akumakage with caution.

Their eyes widened. Wait. Feudal lord and akumakage….

They took a step back. it's the new nation. They took another step back.

The other nations stared at each other before they scattered. Everyone left but the sand nin, tamari and kankuru went to the front of the group and ran to Gaara.

Gaara went down from his sand as he was tackled by tamari "thank god your alright Gaara!" tamari gasped out.

"when we got the data from the chakra bursts, we thought you were…" she choked as Gaara patted her back. "its alright tamari" he said as tamari wiped her eyes.

Gaara glared at kagome and Madara "it seems someone was rather eager to fight each other."

"FIGHT EACH OTHER!" tamari cried out as she stared at kagome and Madara.

She glared at Madara "WHAT DID YOU DO!" she yelled and kagome sweat dropped.

Madara held up his hands and kagome said "it was nothing tamari! We fight when we can." She said and tamari blinked, question marks practically forming behind her head.

Kagome sighed and felt her face drop into her hands. "ech, I don't want to explain tamari" she said as she went up the sand dune and sat down facing the forest.

She knew that ANBU from each nation would be watching them until they went back into their own country. She glared at neji, the only ANBU who had a byakugan activated.
