Rushing around to stand in front of everyone, Sasuke and Itachi took up arms. "Kagome are you sure it is him?"

"I don't know. Until they get closer I can't tell if it is his half or the shards. But something full of malice is coming!" Kagome rushed to stand just behind him as everyone readied themselves for what was going to come. Kagome even pulling her bow and arrow out and having it ready to draw back. But then gasped when she saw what came over the hill! It looked like Naraku but it wasn't. It was one of his puppets! "Sasuke was there only one Naraku that came through with you?

"That one right there."

Focusing she found the jewel shards. He had four of them so this puppet was stronger than the other puppets that they had faced before. But nothing that couldn't be handled. Especially with everyone there and what they could do. "That isn't Naraku himself. It is a puppet. Right in the very core of that body is a demons puppet. The only way to stop the puppet is to break it."

"What does it look like?"

Looking to her right at the guy with the silver eyes she blinked. "It looks like a wooden doll and since it is a Naraku puppet it will have black hair wrapped around it. Maybe even a barrier around it as well. This time there will be four jewel shards embedded in it." Then she gasped as his veins in his eyes popped out and lines flashed through his eyes. "What the?"

"That is the Byakugan. It lets him see inside anything."

Looking back over at Naruto Kagome blinked. "Really?"

"That's right. And Hinata over there has the same thing." Winking at her as he stopped up between her and Neji he smiled. "He isn't exactly the first demonic thing that we have had to face. We have actually had to face several of them. Just watch. We aren't exactly weak."

Stopping half way to them the Naraku Puppet mad eye contact with Kagome. "Itachi was never supposed to learn the truth. You were supposed to be his weakness and make him weak enough for Sasuke to take his brother's life. And yet it backfired." His eyes narrowed and then suddenly he shot up into the sky about a hundred feet with hundreds of tentacles coming out from under the white baboon bottom. "I was sent here to take that half of the jewel shard and you back with me!"

His eyes narrowed as he pulled a sword out Itachi hardened his eyes. "You won't touch her."

"Lets see if you can stop me!" Then tentacles flew at everyone!

Kagome looked around her as everyone just started moving! She was hanging off Itachi's back as they dodged tentacles. Some of them cutting them. Others repelling them.

"Earth Style Mud Wall!"

Looking back she gasped as someone stood on top of a wall of mud as it rose over the village gate. 'Wow!'

"Leaf Hurricane!"

Jerking her head to look another direction she had wide eyes as the kid in the green jump suit spun around and kicked and punched them with such force that he broke the tentacles as if he was slicing them with a sword.

"Hey nasty! Lets see how you handle this! Come on Ino!"

"Right Tenten!"

Looking up she gasped again as two girls jumped up in the sky and began throwing ninja tools at him in rapid succession. And flowers? "Flowers?"

"Ninja Wolf's Bane. Poisons."

"Oh."

"We need to get all those tentacles under control. Then I will use my lightning blade and pierce it."

Stepping up next to Sasuke, Naruto smiled. "I can handle that one! Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Now off of Itachi's back, Kagome stood back as she watched the hundreds and hundreds of Naruto's grab on and hold the tentacles. Then Sasuke shot at him with some sort of lightning! But it wasn't enough! Gasping she quickly readied a bow and arrow again and charged it with pure purification. "Everyone move!"

As soon as everyone was out of the way of her arrow she let it fly, watching as she hoped that it went through and destroyed the puppet! Then smiled as it went through the barrier and struck the wood making it all turn to dust as the four shards fell to the ground. Walking up she sighed. "I guess we should be happy it was just a puppet. And at least he lost a few more shards to me."

Everyone watched except Itachi, with shocked eyes as the shards that were dark pink and glowing black turned pure with a bright pink shine the second she touched them. "We still need to leave now. I am worried about my friends."

"Come." Itachi handed her bag to her and then just like that they were all gone and flying through the trees headed to Shion's temple. Kagome looked over at Naruto and blinked. "Hey Naruto what is this Shion like?"

Laughing he smiled. "She can be a stuck up stick in the mud but she is strong and smart too. She probably already knows you are coming since she can see the future. She used to only focus on when someone died since that was what they wanted to know. Though she did say something to me last time I seen her that I wasn't expecting."

"What was that?"

"That she saw me and her standing in a garden watching two little bond kids running and playing. I just figured that she meant that we were babysitting."

With wide blinking eyes Kagome just looked at him. "Wait what she said that she saw you and her together in a garden watching two little kids with blond hair playing?"

"Yep." That was when Naruto noticed that everyone around him was looking at him like he had ten heads or something. "What guys?"

"Do you really not know the true meaning behind such a vision Naruto?" Lee's black eyes were as wide as they could go. He could not believe that even Naruto was really that dense! Not that!

"What else could it mean though Bushy Brow?"

Pulling all eyes to her as she giggled Kagome winked at him. "There is only one thing that I can think of that would mean. Naruto she had a vision of you and her as a couple watching YOUR kids playing in the garden. Kids you had with her."

Blinking as he looked at her Naruto missed the tree branch with his foot and had to swing himself up with his hands. "You don't really mean that she saw that I am going to be with her and we have kids like for real do ya?"

"In my time that is the only way to interpret that."

"Oh man."

With a sigh as he closed his eyes, Itachi kept the pace going. "Let's just get there. The sooner we get there the faster she gets stronger." 'And the sooner we break this retched curse and consummate our marriage finally.'

With her eyes closed as tightly as she could have them, Shion jerked violently in her sleep. Another vision! But this one actually scared her! It started out with Naruto and lots of other Shinobi coming to her to train a miko that dressed odd. But just as soon as her training with the Uchiha was done it changed to something totally different!

Someone with white hair and dog ears with a giant sword and a miko back to back fighting of hordes of demons. A monk and a woman dressed in armor flying through the sky. The monk sucking demons into his hand, the woman attacking and defending from another woman with red hair that used wind to fight.

And in the middle of it all was a couple that stood back to back. The miko she trained to use powers that fused chakra and purification together. She and the Uchiha fought together and finally were able to destroy the biggest demon of them all. With smiles and tears going all around after that.

Finally the Uchiha and the woman with him combined their power to create a new combination jutsu that finally destroyed the demon, and all the other little ones. Jerking awake she shot up with a start. That was the scariest thing that she had ever had a vision of! The way her heart pounded was more than when her vision of herself and Naruto changed. That hurt her emotionally. This was scaring her more than even fighting her own demon was!

"Lady Shion! Are you alright?"

Looking to her left to see one of her guards she sighed. "I am. I have a feeling that we are going to be seeing Naruto and other Leaf Ninja soon. And I will go from the student to a teacher."

"What are you talking about My Lady?"

"I mean that I will be training a girl who is a miko and has chakra as well. If I don't I know the vision that I just had will change. I know what I need to teach her too I just hope that she is still both pure in mind, spirit and body or it won't work."

"My Lady?"

Standing and heading to her study she sighed. "I will be in my study come and get me the instant that Naruto and his friends get here." As she walked to her study she chewed on her thumb nail as she thought about this. She knew that was why she had the vision of her training them. She is going to be in fact responsible if all those other people in her vision die. And she couldn't do that. Not and sleep well at night. Especially if Naruto was in the middle of it. 'I will do what I have to do this time. I promise mother I will do my best.'
