I DON'T OWN THE CHARACTERS OF THE ANIME INUYASHA AND NARUTO the quote I used later on in the story is not my own but of Benjamin Franklin
"Ok everyone these slips are stuff that your parents have to sign. If they don't sign it you can't continue on with the test. All it says is that we aren't responsible for any blood, injury, death that may occur to you and blah blah blah "Anko announced.
"The test will take place tomorrow so get your rest, you'll need it," Anko said before leaving the genin to themselves.
"Naruto, you wanna do the test no matter the circumstances, right," Kagome asked Naruto.
"Believe it" I exclaimed.
"Good" Kagome smirked at him.
Kagome looked down at her right index finger before suddenly biticcng it savagely not even wincing in pain. "Kagome what are you doing," Sakura asked in surprise. Kagome looked at her with a look that said ' are you dumb ?', "I don't have a pen."
Sasuke and Sakura both looked at her flabbergasted. "You can sign it later," Sasuke told her obviously. "I want to give it to them now," Kagome said stubbornly as she watched blood deep from her newly formed wound.
She quickly took Naruto's paper and signed her name in her blood, then took her paper and did the same.
"Donate," Kagome said and sucked on her bleeding finger. Seconds later she healed the wound and shoved the now uninjured finger in both Sasuke and Sakura's face. "There, I healed it," Kagome said to them, not really wanting an answer.
She walked over to Anko and gave her the papers. "You signed in your blood?" She asked. "Why not" Kagome countered. Anko shrugged and just took the permission slip.
Kagome walked back to Naruto saying that if he wanted to eat dinner at Ichiraku's go ahead but the dinner she made would be ready by 7:45 to 8:00 as per usual.
She then dismissed each of her teammates before walking off to go back to her new house. She walked at a slow pace not really looked in a rush. Once Kagome arrives inside the house she realized that nothing was interrupting her. No one running up and trying to mug her, no gossip, or any other distractions. She took her boots off at the doorway before heading to the kitchen.
"Weird" Kagome whispered to herself before swiping her bangs to the side putting her hair in a low ponytail and putting on her white apron that had a cat and a dog on its side by side.
~~~
Kagome checked the clock for the time. '7:30, dinners ready so I should start setting the table' she thought to herself. She set the table and put the food on it.
By the time she was done, it was 7:43. She walked up the stairs that were behind the dining room a good distance.
She knocked on both of the doors that lead to Haku and Zabuza's rooms.
"Dinner's ready, hurry and come downstairs before it gets cold," Kagome said before going to sit down. And in no time Haku and Zabuza came down the stairs. They sat down and started to eat after muttering a fast thanks.
"Tonight we are eating seasoned steak with sweet red peppers and spicy red peppers, with a side of fresh asparagus lightly seasoned, with corn on the cob and mashed potatoes freshly smashed and seasoned, with special gravy, there is also a side of tomato soup.For dessert, I made honey buns "Kagome explained the meal for the night.
The two men just seemed to eat faster with more load food as they heard the meal, not really knowing what half of it was. "Stop eating like that, it is unsatisfying, and you could choke" Kagome warned her two friends. The two men slowed there pace slightly so it was a bit less disgusting.
Just then a dirty Sasuke, Naruto, and a clean Sakura walked through the door. Kagome looked at them and walked to the door welcoming them into her new home. "What are you all doing here" Kagome questioned.
"We were training really hard, and then we all got hungry" Naruto chirped. "But they didn't want ramen" he grumbled but continued with the rest of his cheery explanation. "So we all came here, your food is always delicious, believe it!"
Kagome sighed, "very well, you two boys go get cleaned up, Sakura you can freshen up if you like, Naruto show them the bathrooms, please." Sakura and Sasuke nodded in thanks before being lead by Naruto up the stairs and to the separate bathrooms.
Soon, almost 5 minutes later everyone came down the steps and sat down ready to eat. Haku and Zabuza had already gone back upstairs finished wolfing down everything their stomachs could hold. "Please eat as much as you like," Kagome said to them with a slight smile and began eating feeling her stomach start to rumble quietly. The rest of Team 7 started to eat too. "Say Kagome, what happened to the InuTachi, where are they," Sakura asked curiously, but in all honesty, she kind of missed them.
"I sent them back home" Kagome answered. "They were needed there anyway."
"Naruto how is your training going" Kagome changed the subject swiftly. "Great" Naruto chirped. "The Teme and I had a tie today when sparring but next time I'll beat 'em" he declared determination shining bright in his eyes. "That's good, you're getting closer to your goal of being Hokage" Kagome assured him.
"Sasuke what about you" Kagome made more small talk. "It's fine but I still need to work harder," Sasuke said and continued eating. "Don't work yourself too hard, we are all born ignorant but one must work hard to remain stupid" Kagome joked. Most of the table being everyone except Sasuke laughed at the joke. After a few minutes of joyous laughter, everyone calmed down a bit with a few giggles escaping their mouths.
Sasuke glared holes through Kagome's head but she waved it off. "Moral of the story is, never get so busy making a living you forget to make a life" Kagome explained. "Take it into mind," Kagome offered him a smile.
"Kagome's really wise ya know you should really listen to her, believe it!" Naruto advised. "You calling me old, twerp" Kagome gave Naruto a sharp glare which I fought off with his bright sheepish smile. "Whatever" Sasuke muttered to Kagome's quote. While everyone was eating the table was filled with happy chit chat and joyous laughter.
~~~
"Well I have to get going, or my parents will be worried. Thank you for the great meal" Sakura smiles at Kagome. "I should start heading our, too. We have a big day tomorrow" Sasuke said before standing up to leave.
"Ya, and I need all the rest I can get for the test ." Naruto sighed cheekily before patting his stuffed tummy.
"Very well, goodnight everyone, get home safe" Kagome smiles at them. "Sasuke walk Sakura home, make sure she gets there safe" Kagome ordered Sasuke with a smile on her face that said 'you better do it or else.'
Sasuke sighed and the two walked out the door together with a final wave. Kagome turned to Naruto "you go on ahead and go to bed I'll clean up" Kagome told Naruto.
The blonde nodded sleepily. "Goodnight, jeez I'm tired" I've already been going up the stairs and to his room. Kagome then quickly cleaned the dining room and washed the empty dishes. Minutes later she took a nice soak in the bath to relax her stiff muscles and went right on to the bed.
~~~
"Start" Anko yelled and all the gates opened. All teams ran through. "I look, I got something to do, remember who has the scroll, be safe, I'll be back," Kagome said to her team before running off to team Gai.
Kagome ran to them thinking her team would be fine. After all, she was the one that had the scroll. She finally found them and stopped in front of them. "Kagome if you have come to take our scroll I will not hold back," Lee said to her and got into a fighting position.
Kagome scoffed. "I'm not here for your scroll." Lee visibly relaxed at her words. "I'm here for her," Kagome said and ran at TenTen who fumbled with her kunai. Neji and Lee tried to block her path only to get confused and Kagome broke they ankles. (Not literally).
[Y / N: ANKLES HAVE BEEN BROKEN !!!
REPEAT !!
THE ANKLES HAVE BEEN BROKEN !!!!]
Kagome punched TenTen in the face then stomach successfully knocking her down.
"That was for being a b¡tch at my party," Kagome said. She then held TenTen up not giving her a chance to defend herself and jumped away dodging her teammates. She dropped TenTen on her feet and the roundhouse kicked her in the ribs and punched her dead in the face.
"That is for getting on my nerves," Kagome said and snapped kicked the girl in her chin and then pouncing on her. Kagome started punching her and punching her ignoring the blood that got on knuckled and her clothes. She ignored TenTen's now faint yelps and grunts of pain.
After many punches, Kagome got up. "And That was for acting more superior than me," Kagome said and spat on TenTen with unneeded saliva. "And I can have anyone I want, Neji included, so don't even think about defying me again" Kagome growled and hopped from tree to tree to her team.
After a few minutes of hopping, Kagome found a stream. She jumped down and took a water jug off her charm bracelet, she enlarged the jug. She fills it up with water and put it back the bracelet shrinking it.
"Give us your scroll," a guy said from behind Kagome putting a kunai to her throat. "I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll let you go," Kagome said and started to move. But she stopped when the kunai was pressed closer to her neck and drew some blood, at this Kagome curled her top lip into a snarl. "I'll tell you one last time give me your scroll," the boy said slowly.
Kagome sighed. She grabbed his hand that had the kunai swiftly and bent it fast and hard. She bent his hands in all different ways making so many loud and different unsettling crack sounds. The boy screamed as he heard all the bones in his hand break and jumped back holding his hand. "I gave you a chance, now it'll be your scroll that's for the taking," Kagome said and lunged for the team.
~~~
Sasuke clasped his hand over Sakura's mouth to get her to be quiet. I've looked around in a panic and tried formulating a plan. He tried to ignore the annoying vibrations on his hand. He glared at Sakura to shut up but she just got more persistent. He released his grip on her head and glared at her even more. "Shut up" Sasuke hissed.
"S-snake" Sakura whispered.
Sasuke let out a sound of confusion before looking behind them and saw a giant snake come into view. Before the duo could move the snake tried to attack. Well more like eat them but missed so the two still fell out the tree.
Sasuke reactivated his Sharingan ready to fight off the giant snake. But then Naruto appeared and let's just say. Sh!t! Went! Down!
Naruto was getting slung around like a rag doll by the snake and Sasuke just sat there petrified.
Then a blessing from the heavens came down and landed next to Sasuke almost making him piss himself at how scared he was. "Why aren't you helping Naruto" her voice rang in his ears. "He needs you" her voice called to him. He looked up at the girl next to him and saw she had blood splattered on her.
Sasuke's face scrunched up in anger at his cowardliness and he charged at the snake. "There you go Sasuke" Naruto cheered on.
While Sasuke and Naruto are trying to fight and not get eaten by the snake Kagome is on the side fighting the master of the snake.
"You bastard" Kagome grunted as
he bit her neck marking her, but it had barely any effect. Kagome slashed at the surprised and kind of freaked out Orochimaru. Her sword almost cut off his arm if he hasn't dodged. He hissed at the new painful sensation on his arm.
"Get back here you cowardly snake" Kagome growled and knocked him upside the head with the hilt of her sword. Kagome smirked as Orochimaru looked away from her. She raised her sword and it glowed white. "Pure Ray" She yelled and beams of white tinted pink light came from the sword and aimed itself at Orochimaru. But the snake maneuvered away quickly and towards something else. Kagome looked dumbfounded for a second before realizing the direction he was going in was where Sasuke was. Kagome sprinted to the snake and slashed at him, but it was too late.
He bit into Sasuke's neck. A strange dog-like growl emitted from Kagome's throat. "Enough" She growled and put her sword away. Without a second thought, she transformed into her demon form and ran at the snake swiping at him.
He moved out the way and smirked at Kagome who glared. "It's too late. He'll come to me for power sooner or later" the snake smirked avoiding Kagome's Shadow Claw attack and sunk into the earth.
She looked around in irritation. Now there was no way they could split up with the snake in the vicinity so she could exterminate him. And he got to Sasuke! He was an essential part of her mission.
Kagome started digging furiously at the part of the ground he disappeared into hoping to somehow catch him. She ignored the dirt that went under her claws and the calls of her teammates as they tried to make her stop. She kept digging not caring for the bugs that she uncovered. She eventuality dug a whole foot deep before Naruto and Sakura tried to drag her away only to be almost cut by her claws.
"Kagome!"
"You can't get to him like that, He obviously used a Jutsu" Sakura exclaims.
"And right now Sasuke needs your help" Naruto gestured to the other raven-haired kid that was lying on the ground writhing in pain. Kagome dumbly looked at Naruto and Sakura then at Sasuke before reprocessing the situation and running over to him, transforming back into her human form.
Kagome kneeled down and placed his head on her lap. Delicately, she put her Miko powered fingertips to the snake bite only to get shocked with dark energy.
Kagome shook her hand wildly for a moment to get the burning feeling off. "What the f!ck" the frustrated Miko growled under her breath. She then tried to heal him only to be rejected again.
Kagome turned back to Naruto and Sakura who looked at her expectantly. "I can't do anything to help him," She said before sighing.
"Naruto lets lift him up we need to go into hiding. Follow me both you. Quickly hurry up!"
~~~
"Sasuke stop it," Kagome said yanking said boy away from the other only to get burned and fall to the ground in pain.
"Why did you stop me? I'm doing it for you" he said before making his way back to the male lying on the floor in pain. The same boy that thought it was okay to try and have his way with Kagome. Sasuke was not having it. Not in a million years. Because Uchihas don't share sh¡t!
"No Sasuke snap out of it!"
Kagome recharged her entire body with her Miko ki ready for whatever pain that would come her way. Time seemed to go in slow motion as she ran to Sasuke enveloping him into a hug. You could see black and pink electricity clash together in a fight for dominance. Kagome let out a bloodcurdling screamed that echoed throughout the whole forest. Her knees started to buckle her under the insane amount of pressure of dark energy. She grits her teeth as she forced more of her energy through the corrupted Uchiha. The Miko gave her love a few more powerful waves of her ki before the black power overtook the light and she fell to the ground writhing in pain. She felt as if she were on fire and even her powers couldn't fully overcome the pain she felt when she tried to heal herself. She soon felt herself going in and out of consciousness.
"Ome"
"Gome"
"Kagome!"
The last voice was able to make Kagome focus on what was happening. There kneeled Neji beside her grabbing her hand in reassurance. Her first mind was to push him away but not being able to move her body she just let it be. "Are you alright?! Can you move at all" Neji asked as he looked her over. He didn't see any external injuries so he activated his byakugan.
His mouth went agape as he saw the damage done to her insides. It looked as if they were burnt from the inside but not showing on the outside. He could have sworn he saw them start to give off smoke.
Neji deactivated his eye Jutsu and gave Kagome a soft look before giving her a gentle hug. The girl he loved was going through so much pain and there was really nothing he could do about it.
"Get away from her" a cold voice called from beside the two.
"No, you stay away. You are the one at fault for her condition, no?" Neji accuses giving the Uchiha a stone-hard glare.
The young Uchiha disregarded the Hyuuga and grabbed him by his hair separating him from Kagome in the process and threw him with unknown strength only for him to be caught by his teammate TenTen.
The Uchiha held up the Miko who was still writhing in pain. "Hey, Idiots" Sasuke called to his teammates. The strange markings that covered his body disappeared. "Let's get to the tower already. We have the other scroll, there is no need to waste anymore time with these weaklings."
Sakura and Naruto followed after Sasuke as he jumped away. "Wait" Kagome whispered but was surprisingly heard by Sasuke. I have immediately stopped the team and listened closely.
Sakura looked at Sasuke and Kagome in confusion when a pink sphere surrounds them.
"Stay close and whatever you do not leave the sphere" Sasuke warned before he continued jumping from tree to tree picking up the pace a bit with his other two teammates behind him.
Soon enough as they reached the brink of the forest and the tower was in sight what seemed like hundreds of thousands of weapons were hurled at them only to be deflected by the barrier.
Sakura yelped in fear as she heard the sounds of the weapons hitting against the sphere and instinctively grabbed onto the closest human she could. Which happened to, unfortunately, be Sasuke. He growled and glared at the pinkette that cause him to stumble and almost drop the girl in his arms. Sakura shrunk back at his glare and fell back to create distance.
Soon the barrage of weapons stopped and the squad made it into the tower.
~~~
"She's fine!"
"What are you talking about?! She hasn't even moved since she arrived here!"
Kagome heard the voices yell at each other. At first, they sound slurred before she was able to refocus her hearing. She was about to say something but felt her throat become hoarse her whole body felt as if it were burnt.
But she said something anyway.
"What happened," she croaked and opened her eyes seeing she was on a bed in a room.
"Kagome! You're awake!" She heard a female voice exclaim and feet shuffle toward her.
"Temari, good to see you" Kagome greeted giving her a smile. "It's good to see you woke up! I overheard from Naruto and Sakura that you got wounded after an ambush and haven't woken up since so I came to check up on you. I decided that I should check it out before Gaara finds out "Temari explained her reason for her being here.
"Thanks," Kagome said with a small smile. "I would tell you to tell him I said hi but I'm going to see him pretty soon so I'd rather do it myself."
Sasuke cleared his throat for the fact of being left in the dark about things.
"Temari this my teammate Sasuke. Sasuke this is one of my old friends Temari" Kagome introduces.
Sasuke's face darkened as Kagome introduced him as a teammate. Really just a teammate? How could she say something like that?! Was that how she saw him even after he asked her to be his girlfriend. And who was this Gaara guy? He was obviously Temari's teammate. But who was he to Kagome personally?
Clearly sensing Sasuke's anger Kagome decided it was time to end her and Temari's short reunion. "It's been nice seeing you Temari but starting to feel tired again." Temari nodded giving her a smile and a wave as she walked out the door "Good luck on the next exam." Kagome returning the favor right after.
"What are you about to blow a fuse for?"
"Why did you tell her I was just a teammate?!" The Uchiha glared at her.
"Old friend or not this is still a test. And if she knew of our status she could use it against us" Kagome reasoned. But truthfully she also said that so that there were no ways for Gaara to find out that she made a commitment to someone. After all, the two of them were smitten with each other at some point in the past. But Sasuke didn't need to know all that.
"Can you get me water, please?" Kagome asked. Sasuke nodded and walked out of the room. Minutes later Sasuke walks in with the cup of water and there other two teammates.
"Oh Kaggy-Chan your awake!" Naruto cheered and swooped her up from her bed and into a bear hug.
"Oh that hurts" she muttered.
"Oh sorry, I thought you would be all better by now" Naruto apologies. "Well, she isn't you idiot" Sakura screeched and hit Naruto over the head confused on why she didn't get a glare or complaint from Kagome.
"Move idiots. Here's your water" Sasuke handed Kagome the water and sat on the bed, letting her lean on him so she could stay seated up.
She drank it slowly relishing the feeling of something cool to soothe her burning insides. "Thanks, I'm going back to sleep," she said handing the cup back to Sasuke lazily before drifting off.
"Be quiet you morons, she's asleep?" Sasuke said gently laying Kagome back down on the bed and tucked her in. "Get out of the room if your gonna make noise" He gave the blonde and pinkeye a cold stare before throwing out the cup.
"I'm bored" Naruto mumbled through the soft silence. "Go to sleep," Sakura said and got on the top bunk. "Sasuke-Kun, if you feel tired you can sleep up here, with me" Sakura blushed. "There's not enough space up there, I'll just share with Kagome if I feel tired," Sasuke said and sat on the twin size bed Kagome had.
There was a bunk bed and a twin-size bed. It was a room made for a three-cell team, not a four-cell. And since Kagome was still unconscious she got the twin size.
The part of the team that was awake started a discussion about what they think the next test will be about. About 5 minutes into the conversation they got a surprise visitor.
"Hey, team" Kakashi gave them an eye smile.
"What are you doing here Kakashi- Sensei" Sakura exclaimed.
"Well, I'm glad you asked Sakura" Kakashi has an upside-down 'U' eye smile. "I'm here to lead you to the next test."
"What!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Already? It's only been about 10 minutes and there starting the tests. We haven't even had time to rest" Sakura protested.
"Well, you're lucky they didn't start it immediately cause that's what they were going to do," Kakashi said. "Now come on follow me. And, uh, wake your teammate please" Kakashi gave another smile.
"Wait!" Naruto exclaimed again as he saw Sasuke reach to shake Kagome.
"What you imbecile? Would you stop yelling for once."
Naruto's face suddenly got serious making everyone in the room sober up almost instantly. The atmosphere became silent and tense before Naruto spoke again.
"Kagome only had a few minutes of sleep. The fact still remains that she's injured. The InuTachi told me not to wake her up after she's been injured and to let her wake up on her own." Naruto explained.
"Why," Sasuke asked still about to wake up the sleeping beauty.
"I don't know, they only told me that she could be really cranky and that she could be really scary."
"So we'll just be careful, or we won't wake her til 'the test starts" Kakashi concluded not wanting to face the wrath of a cranky Miko.
"How are we going to do that" Sakura asked.
"Someone will carry her" Sasuke answered.
At that moment Naruto rushes over to Kagome. Sasuke and Naruto stare each other down.
"I'll do it," they say in perfect unison.
"No, I'll do it!" They say in unison again.
"Stop copying me!"
"No, you stop!"
"Both of you stop" Kakashi intervenes with a sigh, I've felt another headache coming on.
"Naruto I think you held her last time. Sasuke will do it" Kakashi ordered. Sasuke gave Naruto an arrogant smirk. "Better luck next time, loser."
Naruto growled and turned away with a frown set on his face as the Uchiha picked Kagome up in his arms.
~~~
Naruto groaned in anticipation as he waited for the next test to start.
"Kagome, you've gotta wake up," Kakashi said and Sasuke continued to nudge the raven-haired girl. She kept stirring but stayed asleep. "Naruto, you're close to Kagome, right? You should help Kakashi- Sensei, and Sasuke- Kun wake Kagome up" Sakura advised to Naruto.
"Ya, that should help pass the time! Thanks!" Naruto grinned and walked up to Kagome pushing Sasuke and Kakashi out the way.
"Alrighty! Stand back things could get a little ugly" Naruto cracked his knuckles his huge grin never left his face it only got wider.
The next thing the two know there was an ear-piercing scream and Naruto was about to jump over the railing to get away from the beast he has awoken.
"I thought I told you to stop doing that!" She roared at him angrily, dragging him from the railing by his ear.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow! But you weren't waking up" he whines and pouted.
"I don't care! Don't" - Kagome paused to continuously slap her right ear with the palm of her hand to get the disgusting wet feeling out - "give me a Wet Willy ever again! Or it'll be your @ H H!"
Kagome continues to slap her ear disgusted as she continued to feel saliva in her ear.
"Can you please let go of my ear now" Naruto pleaded. Kagome complies to his request reluctantly.
"Damn Brat" she muttered under her breath. She did a few stretches while the new proctor announced the instructions for the test.
' Is he smoking weed or something? Why he keep coughing like that, damn. I need some water? ' Kagome thought to herself.
He need some milk!
Kagome heard her inner demon yell and almost laughed out loud but she suppressed it and her inner demon down further.
Then I called the names for the first fight.
"Be careful Sasuke" Kagome whispered to him.
I nodded to her and went down the stairs to meet his opponent.
Kagome glared at Sasuke's opponent and glanced toward his sensei.
Kagome's eyes widened and as she saw the boy's pale and long haired sensei stare at her with lust filled eyes. She looked around to see if he was looking at Kakashi cause you know he might be a little bent.
Only to see Kakashi with Shikamaru sensei.
The confused miko pointed to herself looking back at the strange man only for him to nodded his head and lick his lips with a very thicc and long tongue. Kagome scrunched up her face disgust because even if she was an adult in a kids body, he didn't know that, so he was a straight up pedophile.
Kagome shook her head at him and looked back at the battle to see it was over with Sasuke victorious
Kagome was about to go down and congratulate him but he was lead away by Kakashi.
~~~
"No, Gaara don't do it" Kagome yelled and pushed herself on the railing even more, ready to jump off. "No Kagome!" Naruto yelled and pulled her back along with Kakashi.
"Gaara don't do it! Don't do it! Don't kill him!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs as she struggled against Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke's strong grip.
Tears started to build up in the young woman's eyes as she saw Lee's body slowly being crushed by the sand. Then Gai got in between the two as Gaara was about to land the final blow. It seemed to calm Kagome down but not enough for her to stop struggling against the three guys strong grip.
"Stop getting so worked up. Why do you care anyway?" Sasuke spoke in her ear.
At that moment Kagome's anger hit a breaking point as to where she broke free from the all three boys monstrous grip.
Next thing the Uchiha knew there was a loud clapping sound and he felt a stinging pain on his cheek. So he put two and two together and he got four. Sike!
I realized he just got the sense smacked out and back into him.
Immediately he grew angry there was no reason that she should have slapped him. But before he could lash out he was the one that was being lashed out on.
"I care because they are my friends! But then again, I shouldn't expect someone like you to know about that." Kagome glared before jumping over the railing turning into a silver dog that was over 6ft tall towering over the two teens.
She growled into Gaara's face not as a threat but as warning to call off his sand. She saw that his sand kept moving closer and she hunched down in a crouched offensive position.
The redhead only seemed to glare at Kagome like she was a complete stranger let his sand proceed only for him to draw it back when the coughing addict told him the match was over. But even then he was reluctant but commanded his sand back into his gourd before walking back to the his team.
~~~
Kagome walked down the stairs to meet her opponent. "Woohoo! Go Kagome!" Naruto cheered.
"3, 2, 1, begin!" The proctor and stepped back.
Her opponent rushed at her with inhuman speed before the proctor even said begin. He threw a straight punch which made Kagome bend back into a bridge. Her opponent moved back a bit for another attack but Kagome was quick and escaped his close attack range.
Her attacker ran after her at amazing speed giving Kagome almost no time to create more space between them. Kagome jumped back every time her opponent came into her close range attack space. Soon her attacker grew tired of their little game of chase and started to throw various weapons at her only for her to do different kinds of flips to dodge them.
Kagome did another twisted back flip before landing in a squatting position for half a second to catch her breath. And that was when her opponent found her weak spot.
He threw dozens of different weapons at Kagome at once making her flip again. In the middle of her back flip he sprinted toward her kunai in hand, and stabbed the left side of her torso.
A gasp of pain could be heard throughout the stadium. Kagome fell to her back on the ground creating a small thump. She cursed. Blood started to pool from out of her wound heavily.
She gasped and rolled over to dodge the kunai that lodged itself deep within the cold stone floor. The attacker sighed before he started to wiggle the kunai out of its imprisonment. Kagome took the opportunity to find her jogging. She took the sword from her charm bracelet and enlarging it with her power.
"Pure Ray" Kagome yelled, her sword glowing white with a pink tint. Then white beams of light came from the sword and directed itself straight towards the attacker. The agile attacker, unfortunately, was able to jump over the attack and not sustain any injuries. "How did you—" Kagome asked shocked that her opponent was not obliterated. "You didn't figure it out yet, huh?" He asked with an arrogant smirk on his face as he charged the Miko. She swung her sword at his head only for him to duck and punch her in the gut. Kagome gasped at the strength behind the punch and went soaring through the railings where the bystanders once stood.
The unknown attacker smirked haughtily "still can't figure it out?"
The attacker ran after Kagome only for her to use her zigzag technique to escape. The male ran after her using the same speed. "You aren't human" Kagome muttered to herself and used her shadow claws attack on him only for him to dodge them all. "Warmer" he replied to her giving a charming smirk.
"Why don't you take that stupid mask off and maybe I'd be able to find out" Kagome shouted and used her poison whip only for him to keep dodging. He kept dodging left and right, left and right, when suddenly Kagome lost track of him. She looked around quickly cursing herself for losing her opponent so quickly.
Then suddenly her attacker pressed himself against her backside. He wrapped his arm around her neck, close to choking her. I have chuckled seductively in her ear. Kagome grunted as she tried to force him off of her but found that he was restraining her body. "How about this? Do you know who I am now" he asked licking the shell of Kagome's ear causing her to shiver in disgust.
The flirty male pulled down his mask and and took off his hood.
"H-Haru?" Kagome's eyes widened in surprise. He was Harue's twin brother. He was said to have runaway but no one ever knew the reason. A rumor said that it was because Harue beat him in the sparring tournament, but no one was ever able to confirm it.
"Bingo" he whispered sensually in her ear. He brought one of his hands to play with a few strands of her hair but still keeping a good grip on her neck.
But Kagome was still able to break free. She stomped on his foot successfully breaking it and twisted his wrist from around her neck, leaned forward and backwards roundhouse kicked him in the face making him fly to the other side of the arena and into the wall.
"Don't underestimate me bastard" Kagome growled to him getting into an defensive position wincing a bit at the new wound she adorned.
It was quiet for a few seconds until the silver haired amber eyed man stood from the crater he made in the wall.
"You shouldn't underestimate me either." He said and transformed into his true human form no longer looking like a child. He grew in height and build, which stayed slim but gained much more muscles.
"Oh so that's how you wanna play it. Well two can play at that game." Kagome whispered to herself.
Kagome then transformed as well she grew taller and more developed, not much she was about 5 feet in her adult form. She then morphed into her demon form. Claws and fangs emerging, hair turning silver, eyes changed rapidly to golden.
"That's what I like to see" the male with short hair smirked at the girl and licked and bit his lips lustfully.
Kagome threw the middle finger at him before charging head first at her opponent with great speed. The two of them started attacking each other relentlessly neither letting up. Their attacks began to get faster and faster until the proctor nor the bystanders could see the duo fighting. They couldn't even see their blurs anymore, the only sign that they had that the two didn't disappear was the gusts of wind they created.
This went on for what seemed like seconds before Kagome flew to the ceiling the wind knocked right out of her. She let out a few coughs before she felt to the floor of the arena creating a dent in the floor. She laid there motionlessly.
Her opponent fell to the floor gracefully. Blood trailed down his forehead, mouth, and gushed out of his broken nose. The red fluid also trailed from some of him limbs. He glared down at Kagome before twisting his nose back in place creating an unsettling cracking sound.
"Well, dear Kagome it seems that I have won" Harue chuckled, the proctor walked over to the Miko to see if she was unconscious, but before he could get close she jumped up and aimed a punch for Harue's face only for him to sidestep Item.
The proctor got out of the way quickly, continuing the battle.
Kagome bounces off a wall and aims for Harue again only this time she kicked him in the shin. Harue reacted fast when he was attacked and grabbed Kagome by her hair slinging her across the arena.
The miko only bounced off the roof and landed on the ground. "Shadow I summon you." Kagome said under her breath. The purple and black dragon appeared beside the silver haired woman obediently.
"Haku, Zabuza, I summon you" The miko made three hand signs that the ninjas didn't recognize. The two ninjas that the woman called on appeared on the other side of her.
"Attack."
The three of them charged at the short haired man.
Shadow manipulated herself within the shadows. It was only a few moments after Haru began to battle the two men that he realized that he lost sight of the dragon.
Just as this realization was made said dragon appeared from Harue's shadow, the dragon manipulated the shadows to hold the other demon in place.
Haku and Zabuza took the opportunity and rushed at the restrained golden eyed male. Haku threw thousands and hundreds of senbons all of them pricking the male in vital, but mostly nonfatal places. Zabuza brought up his sword and slashed the demon's limbs multiple times before stopping at swiping his stomach.
Haru let out little to no sounds of pain and continued to focus on getting free. He let out a few groans of pain when hit with senbons. He then let out a strangled yelled when he was slashed with the sword before letting his body go limp, a slick idea coming to his head.
Kagome watched on before walking over to her opponent. The blood flowing from her forehead making her feel a bit lightheaded but ignored it. She waved her hand signaling for the dragon to let him go as he went limp.
Haru fell to the ground on all fours. He looked up at Kagome with a slight glare and a weak smirk.
"You are in no position to be smiling" Kagome said to him as he rushed to her and aimed a sloppy punch at Kagome only for her to side step and him to fall to the floor.
Haru tried to stand again only for him to fall into his stomach and groan in pain. He looked down as Kagome came closer to him and tapped his face lightly with her foot.
"Are you dead" Kagome asked.
She let out a sigh after not receiving an answer. The miko bent down to see if he was faking. As soon as she was in arm length Haru jumped her.
He had shot his hand through the wound on her torso he created earlier. Kagome gargled as blood flooded her mouth dripping from her lips.
"You should never let your guard down" Haru advices with a slick smirk on his face.
Kagome coughed up more blood and glared at the short haired male. She shoved his hand from her stomach torso and punched him in the face.
"Finish him."
Haku, Zabuza, and Shadow all jumped the demon. They beat him to the point of them barely recognizing him. Once Kagome had seen that he was truly unconscious she sent her powers through him and teleported him back to Sesshomaru.
"Kagome, is the victor" the proctor announced.
Kagome dismissed Haku, Zabuza, and Shadow. Refusing to go in the stretcher and leave with the nurses, she walked back up to Team 7.
"Oh my gosh, you look horrible" Naruto gasped. Kagome looked at Naruto and gave him a death glare.
"Well you didn't look to good out there yourself" Kagome remarked.
"Did you know that guy?" Sasuke asked from the side of Kagome.
Kagome sat down and let out a sigh of relief.
"No, I've never met him a day in my life" Kagome answered looking up at the Uchiha.
"Well if you didn't know him why was he being so familiar with you?" The seething young Uchiha questioned.
"He was from where I came from." Kagome continues to answer Sasuke's questions.
"I thought you said you never met him before" Sasuke interrogated.
"I said I never met him not that I never heard of him." Kagome said.
Sasuke grit his teeth in irritation.
"Sasuke," Kagome said gaining his attention. "I'm tired, please."
Sasuke nodded dropping the topic and sat next to her. The miko laid her head on his lap going to sleep.
~~~
"So, what your saying is we have 3 months to prepare for the last test" Kagome asked the proctor that had announced exactly that.
The nodded proctor.
"But isn't that a bit too much leverage, why not in like 3 weeks" Kagome proposed causing an uproar in most of the contestants.
They complained about how they needed to rest and stuff like that.
"No Kagome, the genin already had 3 tests back to back. They need a rest before heading back into the test" the Hokage that was next to the proctor said.
"Okay but why 3 months? Why not 1 or 2?"
"Kagome!" The Hokage gave Kagome a sharp look.
She rolled her eyes but nonetheless stopped pursuing the topic.
~~~
"I'll see you guys later I'm gonna go train!" Naruto shouted, he was about to runoff to one of the training grounds when he was grabbed by the back of his collar.
"Oh no you don't. You can start training again in 2 weeks. Right now your going to rest" Kagome said and started to drag him away from the his wanted destination. Sakura and Sasuke followed behind simultaneously.
~~~
"Kagome what are you going to do within the next three months" Sasuke asked Kagome who laid on his shoulder. Naruto and Sakura sat on the large white sofa that had additional black cushions. Sakura on the other side of Sasuke and Naruto on the other side of Kagome. All four of them were watching a movie in the living-room of Kagome's house.
"I'll most likely go visit Sesshomaru and the rest of the InuTachi. Probably go see my mom and my family if possible. Train a bit. Well, already that's about it." Kagome answered.
"Well if your not leaving yet I'd like to take you on a date" Sasuke said keeping his eyes on the screen but glanced at the petite female beside him.
"Sure, when" Kagome asked also zoning in on the television.
"How about in the next five days," Sasuke asked.
"Sounds good, I don't have anything planned then," Kagome answered moving a bit closer.
"Oh my gosh! How can you guys talk about all this' coupley 'stuff' in front of us" Naruto shouted having enough of the display of affection as if he wasn't there
"Are you jealous" Sasuke teased a smirk on his face, wrapping an arm around Kagome's waist.
"I am!" Sakura screeched. "I have sat here with you two just rubbing your relationship in my face! I've had just about enough!"
"Ya same goes here!" Naruto agreed.
"Hey, if you guys are so mad about it why don't you-" Kagome was cut off when she heard a knock at the door. Everyone clearly was riled up and glared at each other. They continued to glare at each other for what seemed like hours. Then the door was knocked on again. Kagome sighed.
"Whatever I'll go get it," Kagome said rising from the comforts of her sofa.
She walked over to the entrance of her house. She unlocked and swung open the wooden door without asking for the identity of the person knocking. She was shocked but not surprised when she came face to face with Hyuuga Neji. She sighed and leaned against her door frame.
"Hello, what do I owe the pleasure of you visiting me. You usually call, so what's up."
"Hinata-" Neji started but didn't get to finish for Kagome already started moving.
Kagome moved from the door frame. "Come inside I'm getting ready to leave."
Neji stepped inside and let out a breathy sigh. The house smelled just like her. Sakura blossoms, vanilla, and a hint of cherry. He looked around and unsurprisingly found the house clean. He walked to what looked like the living-room to find the rest of Team 7 already there.
"What are you doing here!" Sasuke glared at Neji as soon as I caught a whiff of him.
"My business here is none of your concern." Neji glared right back at the Uchiha.
"Hey sorry I took so long let's go," Kagome called running down the steps. She looked at Team 7. "Sorry, I gotta go its important."
Kagome changed out of her black stretch pants that went to her knees and a big white T-shirt. She threw on a plain black kimono with a black long sleeve bodysuit that went below her knees. The sleeves of the Kimono were slated inwardly and went to her elbows. The kimono itself stopped just above Kagome's knees. She continued to run down the steps tying a thin black obi around her waist in a bow, putting it to the side. She grabbed Neji and pulled him towards the door sliding on her black Sesshomaru style 2 inch high boots that stopped at her ankles.
"Hurry up!" Kagome yelled at Neji yanking him to go faster while tying her hair into a bun on the top of her head.
The two of them ran to the Hyuuga clan's estate. The guards let them by seeing it was only Neji and Kagome. But that didn't stop them from giving the duo strange looks.
Kagome and Neji continued to run around the place. The two were yelled and cursed at for running so fast and almost bumping into people. But that didn't stop Kagome from dragging Neji throughout the whole estate before finally finding Hinata's room. Kagome wouldn't admit it but she had actually gotten lost.
"Hinata! I'm here, what happened?!" Kagome bursts through the doors and running to the Hyuuga girl.
"Oh, Kagome I'm sorry." The young Hyuuga cried grasping onto the older woman desperately.
"It's fine, I wasn't busy. Just tell me what happened." Kagome said calmly embracing the other female. The Miko signaled for Neji to leave the room which gladly he did.
"M-my father he said I was a disgrace to the Hyuuga bloodline. He said I should have never been gifted with the Byakugan. He said that he would disown me unless I won the battle against my little sister later today." Hinata sobbed.
"But didn't you already battle her. You told him you don't want to fight her. This man is really starting to get on my nerves." Kagome growled and stood up removing herself from the Hyuuga.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of it."
"Wait! K-Kagome what are you going to do?" The Hyuuga female asked as Kagome walked towards the exit.
The older woman turned around and gave the girl a smile before walking out the door.
"I'll fight for you."
~~~
"Are you sure you want to do this, girl?" Hizashi asked as I walked slowly around Kagome in a circle.
"It's whatever old man. I'm not just gonna let you do that to Hinata just because she's different." Kagome spoke.
"Well her, 'different', is not tolerated in the head of the Hyuuga clan! She has no business here." Hizashi yelled and charged at the female.
She sidestepped his chakra powered palm and threw him over her shoulder. Unfortunately, the man landed on his feet and charged again. Kagome flipped over him.
"The lower branches of the clan are free to do as they wish, why shouldn't Hinata?" Kagome questioned.
"She is a part of the head so she has no business being weak. Enough talk, it's time to fight," Hizashi spoke once more before Kagome charged at him.
She blocked the hits Hizashi tried to make to her person and used his own technique was able land a few hits.
"You know the gentle fist?" Hizashi growled.
"Don't worry, Hinata didn't teach me anything. Actually, it's thanks to you that I was able to gain knowledge of this technique. All the times you trained Neji and Hinata in front of me I memorized the moves." Kagome explained throwing a few more hits at the Hyuuga clan leader.
"8 trigrams: 64 palms" Kagome called and started going after the Hyuuga's chakra points.
"8 trigrams: Palm rotation!" Hizashi deflected Kagome and made her fly across the field. She landed in a crouched position after tumbling on the ground a few times.
She growled and ran back toward the head of the clan. The Hyuuga started his assault. Both opponents continued to attack each other relentlessly. Neither letting up.
Both had reason to fight. Both had reasons that they held onto that wouldn't allow them to stop attacking at this moment. Both had reasons that were the perfect adrenaline for them to keep fighting. One was for the pride and to hold power over his people. And another was to fight for a loved one who was suffering.
"Why do you fight for her? Why do you meddle with a clan that has nothing to do with an outsider like you," Hizashi questioned after he had struck Kagome in the face throwing her back a few yards.
"I meddle because nobody else will. I was given my strength to help and protect the weak, to fight for them. I am doing my job." Kagome grunted as she dashed back to the man and landed many hits on the clan leader before flipping back creating distance.
"Your job is to protect and look after your people and village. So are you doing your job?" Kagome questioned the man.
He recovered from the fast hits that were landed on his person and charged at the female again who dared question his authority.
"I do my job so there is no need for you to be here!"
"Impregnating fear into your family is not how you look after them. Your clan has the same blood as you. Byakugan or not, you are equals!" Kagome shouted at him before blocking the hits and throwing him across the field.
The man grunted slowly raising himself from the ground and stayed glued to his spot as if frozen in thought.
Kagome charged him once more ready to end this needless battle.
"8 trigrams: 64 palms" Hizashi yelled once Kagome was in his range not able to escape.
Kagome gasped at the trick. Not able to dodge nor block all 64 hits she begrudgingly took them all.
Gasp and grunts of pain slipped passed her lips as she was continuously hit before being thrown to the other side of the field.
Kagome slowly sat up noticing her hair came out of its tight bun and back to its luscious curls throughout the series of attacks.
She stood up and sluggishly blocked the attack Hizashi just threw at her. She then aimed a roundhouse kick which was dodged.
Kagome winced as her body began to gradually slow down and become sore.
"It seems that the strength that was given to you is dissipating. You see, it was your destiny to lose to me." Hizashi spoke.
"No, stop. Just stop" [Dedicated to Bre'ana Haye]
Hizashi threw another palm rotation at Kagome only for her to jump away.
"I do not have a destiny. My path is what I decide. Destiny and fate shall have no power over me, not anymore. Not now. Not ever!" Kagome stayed and forced a power charged punch at the clan leader.
The sheer power of the punch was able to knock Hizashi out even with the space between them. Hizashi was thrown onto the roofs surrounding the yard. I have laid there unmoving. I have breathed heavily, almost in a state of unconsciousness. His mortal body desperately trying to recover from the severe pain it now felt. The man slowly involuntarily slid off of the roof and fell to the ground with a great big thud. Many Hyuuga men ran and picked up Hizashi about to take him to the infirmary. But Kagome stood in front of them.
"I won, you can't disown Hinata or make her fight Hanabi, again," Kagome spoke. "Those were the rules."
Hizashi looked up giving the girl a dazed look. I've nodded to her before passing out.
"Take him to the infirmary, I'll take care of him."
Kagome followed the other Hyuuga and Hizashi into the infirmary. The men placed Hizashi on a bed. Kagome walked over to him when the other men left. Kagome brought her powers to her hands making them glow pink. She ghosted her hands over Hizashi's unconscious form.
'A broken arm, leg, and 2 broken ribs, a sprained ankle as well' Kagome thought as she analyzed his injuries.
"Nothing I can't fix," Kagome smiled to herself and touched the mans injuries healing them all in a matter of seconds.
Kagome walked out of the room and was met with the hyuuga males that carried Hizashi.
"He will be fine, just allow him to rest for a while," Kagome gave them the good news before allowing them in the room.
She walked away. She found Hinata and Neji who tried to get her to stay only for her to decline. Hinata thanked her profusely. Kagome only shook her head and embraced her before making her way to her house.
~~~
"Where the hell is Sasuke," Kagome growled next to Naruto.
"I don't know. He was training with Kakashi-Sensei the whole time. And that perv isn't here either."
"If Sasuke doesn't make it on time he'll be eliminated, so let's hope he gets here before his battle at least. After all you do want to fight him, right?" Kagome asked Naruto.
"Hell ya! I'm gonna pummel him right into the dirt and show him I'm way stronger!" Naruto started ranting.
Kagome sighed and shook her head feeling another headache come on.
"I shouldn't have asked."
After a few more minutes the first battle started with Neji and Naruto. The two went at each other like crazy. Naruto was showing people that he still had some brain cells working, he used many different strategies surprising the Hyuuga on several occasions. But in the end Naruto won using the shadow clone jutsu and fooling Neji into thinking he was down and out for the count.
Kagome looked on at the next battles that came and went. But coming onto Shikamaru's battles with Temari she sweatdroped muttering under her breath how he could've won instead of forfeiting and how he was a lazy bastard. Kagome continued to watch the battles with slight disappointment at not being able to see Shikamaru's great master plan. The miko watched the proctor announce that Sasuke wasn't here and the Kages give him more time.
"Kagome Higurashi and Shino Aburame" The proctor called the two down.
"Just my luck. I hate bugs," Kaome muttered to herself before reluctantly jumping off of the waiting area's balcony. She ignored the gasps of the crowd and landed soundlessly on the grass in front of the proctor. She waited a few moments before Shino arrived.
"This fight will be to the death or-" Kagome zoned out the proctor finding herself in la la land.
"Begin!" The porstor jumped away.
'Damn it' Kagome grit her teeth in thought before back flipping out of Shino's close range.
'Wait ... If he can control bugs ...' Kagome thought fearfully before looking at the ground behind her. She saw swarms of bugs crawling and creeping toward her speedily. She let out a short squeak of surprise before pulling out her bow and arrow and shooting the small menaces. The ground glowed with her power the bugs caught in it disintegrated making Kagome let out a sigh of relief. But her joy was short-lived though. Just seconds later even more insects took their place.
"Shino!" Kagome yelled throwing him a wrathful glare.
"I have to fight to win, right?" Shino tormented a smirk on his lips hidden from under jacket's high collar.
"Ya, well fight me! Hand to hand combat! Don't creep me out with bugs!" Kagome shrieked as she kept shooting arrows at the bugs left and right.
"Fine" Shino muttered, disappointed that his fun would be spoiled.
He ran behind Kagome. Sensing someone behind her she turned around only to be punched the face and kicked away. Kagome soared through the air until her back hit the stadium walls. The air forcefully snatched out of her lungs. Kagome slid down from the great height falling to the ground with a thud.
"Oh," Shino turned away. "Well that was fun-"
"Don't think it's over yet, the party just got started," Kagome smirked wiping blood from off her lip.
"Well, you sure are persistent," Shino muttered just loud enough for Kagome to hear.
"Damn straight,' Kagome agreed before running at Shino with great speed.
She aimed a punch for his gut giving him only enough time to block then giving him a hard roundhouse kick to the head making him soar sideways. Shino found his footing once close to the ground. Sadly for him as soon as he made contact with the earth Kagome was right in his face. She grabbed his forearm before flipping him and throwing him across the arena.
She heard a slight chuckle come from the dark-haired teen.
"What's so funny," Kagome asked cautiously.
"Look for yourself," the bug lover gestured to Kagome's arm.
She looked down at her limb fearfully before yelling a shriek of fright.
"Get it off me! Get it off me!" She yelled. Multiple ants just accumulating and traveling on her body from her arm. She waved her arm around and clawed at the bugs crawling on her arm frantically.
"Those are red harvester's, they're poisonous. Just forfeit and I'll let them off. If not, well you'll die. So either way I-huh" Shino paused seeing Kagome's shoulders quiver. Was she crying? Shino squinted his eyes zeroing in on Kagome's face. No. She was laughing.
"This is no laughing matter! Unless you would like to lose," Shino stated.
"Haha, Shino! You crack me up," Kagome giggle seconds away from rolling on the floor in laughter. "I can't believe it! Haha, I can't believe it, you out of all people didn't realize it!"
"Ugh. I don't have time for your games. Now make your choice, die or forfeit!" Shino spoke again. Kagome kept laughing and laughing and laughing. Shino twitched in annoyance.
"You've made your choice," Shino growled. The bugs bit down on Kagome's flesh injecting their poison.
But, Kagome just seemed to laugh harder. "Oh, this is good. It's gold. Pure comedy gold."
"How is she still alive? There were at least a hundred ants. You should've dropped dead," Aburame mumbled.
"Remember when I said that 'I couldn't believe you didn't notice'?" Kagome ceased her laughter, a haughty smirking forming on her lips. "I'm immune to poison."
"What? Impossible!" Shino took a few steps back as he yelled.
Kagome brought out her bow and arrow once more. She prepared herself to shoot. She mumbled a small incantation making her arrow's glow change from a light pink to a vibrant orange.
"Go, 'Kagome mumbled as she released the arrow. Shino quickly put up a barrier made up of bugs but it was no use. The arrow embedded itself in the ground just before Shinoi's feet.
He let down his barrier. "hmph, you missed."
Kagome tilted her head to the side cutely and gave him a bright closed eye smile. "Not quite."
"Wha-" Shino tried to bring forth the bugs from in the ground only to realize that the ones in the range of the arrow were killed. Shino's eyes widened even more as the arrow glowed even brighter.
"What's going- Ahhh" Shino yelled as the arrow set off an explosion sending him straight into a wall, rendering him unconscious on impact.
"I'm not killing him," Kagome spoke to the proctor. "He's already down and out for the count and its only an exam so there's really no point."
The proctor looked at the Hokage for an 'okay'. Sarutobi nodded at him.
"Alright, kid you win this time," The proctor said. "I declare this match over! The winner is Kagome Higurashi!"
Kagome heard the crowd let out outrageously loud screams of joy and congratulations. She nodded to the crowd in gratitude.
Kagome let out a sigh as she gained a foreboding feeling. 'Might as well tell the Hokage. I hate how my instincts are always right.' Kagome thought to herself. She bent down forcing power in her legs before jumping high enough to grab the ledge of the roof of the stadium. Kagome hoisted herself up and instantly was smacked in the face with the scent of the snake. On impulse, she growled lowly and glared at the person next to Sarutobi.
She stopped mid growl realizing she could've given away the fact that she had dirt on him.
She jumped over the railing before walking up to Sarutobi. She whispered in his ear.
"Something's wrong here."
Sarutobi gave Kagome a questionable look.
"I have a bad feeling about this exam," Kagome explained.
Sarutobi signaled Kagome to continue.
"I think the village will be attacked during the exam. And the Kage of the Sand, the one next to you. He smells a lot like a snake."
"So what your saying is?"
"Exactly, that's not the Kage of the Sand, that's-" Kagome was cut off from her analytical conversation by a strong gust of wind pushing her back into a large tornado.
Kagome let out a shout of surprise as she was dragged away from her conversation and whirled around in a strong gust of wind with nothing to grab onto to stable herself. Her kimono and thin obi started to float. Her hair running around her in a fast pace. She was being brought down to the middle of the arena once again. But she wasn't being escorted kindly by the breeze, oh no. It was like the wind had something against her and was pulling and dragging her down like when she was once dragged to the pits of hell.
Upon reaching stability on land she found herself in strong arms being held in bridal style. Kagome opened her eyes not knowing when she had closed them. She was met with onyx black eyes along with raven black hair. A pale face and a haughty smirk.
Kagome slowly reached out and touched the boy's bangs.
"You grew out your hair. A lot," She muttered half to herself and half to the other being in perspective.
The onyx eyed boy looked at the other girl with a slightly confused face expression. But still lightly kissed her forehead nonetheless. In that instant Kagome seemed to fall out of the trance that damned wind had put her in and jumped out of the pale boy's arms.
"Your late. You could have been disqualified. Everyone on the Team would have been a Chunin except for you and Sakura. Your lucky your an Uchiha or they would have easily skipped over you," Kagome huffed and walked away with an attitude putting her hair back into place. Damn that damned malicious wind, what had she done to it?
Sasuke's confused look vanished and he smirked a chuckle coming past his lips. His girlfriend sure was a handful.
~~~
Everything had gone wrong in a matter of like two minutes.
The sand was attacking the leaf. There was like 5 big @ss snakes that were attacking the village and wreaking some more havoc. Orochimaru had killed the real kage of the sand and was now battling Sarutobi. And here Kagome was fighting alongside Naruto to defeat Gaara whilst wanting to protect Sarutobi as well.
"Kagome!" Naruto exclaimed gaining her attention. She sat on the giant toad or frog or whatever demon that Naruto had summoned. She looked up at him as he stood. He looked down at her and gave her one of the biggest grins she had ever seen him muster.
"Go to the old man! I can handle Gaara," He grinned at her.
Kagome looked at Naruto flabbergasted. "Are you sure?! I can't just leave you here to fight a demon on your own! One tailed or not! I jus-"
"Don't worry I have bubamanta her with me," Naruto chimed. "Believe it!"
"Hey the name is Gamabunta! I'm one more mistake before getting my @ss out of here!" The toad's complaint fell on deaf ears as Kagome embraced the rowdy blond.
She gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek. "Be safe."
Kagome released him and tapped her foot on the frog. "Hey you. Watch over Naruto, keep him safe. If he dies, don't expect to live much longer either."
"Ya whatever," The toad demon agreed.
Kagome jumped over to Sasuke careful not to touch him with him covered in his curse mark again. "Don't worry everything's going to be okay. Naruto's going to care of Gaara," Kagome spoke and blew the Uchiha a kiss before sprinting back to the village.
Upon arriving at the gates she was ambushed by the giant snakes. The miko took out her famous bow and arrow shooting the 2 snakes that dared to show their scaly hides.
After killing 2 of the oversized reptiles Kagome continued her hurried pursuit. Taking in short breaths at a fast pace she moved faster. She started to appear like a blur to the human eye. The miko-demon killed all the sandnin her path.
Forcing her legs to move faster and surpass their limit she zoomed behind Orochimaru just as he made the finishing blow on Sarutobi.
"No!" Kagome screamed tears sprinting away from her eyes.
She transformed into her older form and punched Orochimaru making him soar.
Immediately she envelopes Sarutobi's corpse into her arms and put up an invisibility barrier. Orochimaru and some min that came to his side tried to relentlessly break in but to no avail.
"What isss sshhee doing in there," Orochimaru hissed and narrows his eyes at the barrier. He and the ninja stopped their assaults realizing it was futile and waited for Kagome to emerge.
Minutes later Kagome dispersed the barrier revealing herself and Sarutobi, alive.
"That'sss not posssible! How isss that old man alivve," Orochimaru hissed.
"Sarutobi, you go hide. I can take care of this," Kagome pushed the old man away not leaving any room for argument.
"Girl, you obviously don't know what's you've gotten yourself into. I will kill you like I ssshould've in the foressst," Orochimaru hissed and charged at her.
"In the forest I underestimated you. I won't make that mistake again," the miko-demon growled before transforming into her demon form.
~~~
Kagome woke up. Looking around she realized what was going on. She followed Sasuke as he and Naruto fought. He was really leaving the village.
"Sasuke!" Kagome screamed at him gaining his and Naruto's attention.
"Don't do it! Don't go to Orochimaru! He's not going to help you, he'll only kill you in the end!" Kagome screamed at him.
Suddenly he blurred behind her.
"You know I like your fiery spirit and all. But right now it'd be better if you shut up," Sasuke said and tried to knock her out again. But she was too fast.
Kagome backwards roundhouse kicked him.
"Damn that was close," Kagome muttered.
She jumped next to Naruto before Sasuke could pursue her again.
"You do close range. I'll watch your back and take care of the distance."
"Alright! You got it," Naruto charged at Sasuke.
Kagome stayed mostly in one spot only moving to steady herself and avoid Sasuke. She shot arrow after arrow keeping Sasuke on his toes. Of course she was stalling. After all, if Naruto came after Sasuke and herself then that means more reinforcements would be on their way.
But luck wasn't necessarily on her side. Sasuke was still able to dodge and block their attacks. He even found enough time to attack in between.
He gave off another jutsu accidentally leaving himself wide open. Kagome took her chance. Quickly she chanted a small immobilization incantation before she shooting. She hit her target until with a cloud of smoke the Sasuke turned into a Naruto.
"Wait what?" Kagome questioned before processing and sensing the real Sasuke behind her.
She dodged just before he could touch her. Landing next to Naruto she muttered to him.
"The spell should only last a few minutes, you'll be able to move in a bit."
Kagome shot what seemed like hundreds of arrows before her hands started to tremble in mere exhaustion. She had been fighting all day. She was worn out, a long nap was much needed.
"Your losing your steam," Sasuke smirked before charging at Kagome again only for her to keep dashing away.
Defying her trembling arms, Kagome continued to shoot her arrows. It only lasted for a while before she had to stop to catch her breath.
"Hn. Not only are you tired. But your almost out of arrows. I know you've been stalling that's why you weren't hitting me, but. You won't be able to stop me by doing this," Sasuke spoke callously.
Kagome mumbled a huh looking at her supply of arrows it was true. She only had two left.
Growling she jumped into the air.
'Can't waste anymore time or arrows. He's right I can't stop him if I keep stalling. The reinforcements are taking way too long,' Kagome thought to herself.
Chanting a spell she shot her arrow. It didn't touch Sasuke at all he only tilted his body to the right to dodge. But that didn't matter the arrow left a scratch on Sasuke's cheek and a wound no deeper than an inch on his arm.
Sasuke ignored his wounds and charged at Kagome.
The miko tried to jump away but was too late. Sasuke had kicked away her bow and then kicked her square in the chest.
"Damn, that hurt like a b¡tch," Kagome muttered to herself before picking herself up and meeting Sasuke's attacks.
"Naruto! Start moving," Kagome yelled as she found herself starting to struggle to meet the Uchiha's relentless attacks.
"I'm trying! I can only move my fingertips," the blonde yelled back.
Kagome was then thrown into the sculpture of Madara. Kagome groaned.
"I just need to get in one good shot. One good shot is all I need," Kagome muttered to herself and jumped away from Sasuke.
"Just give up. You look like you need a nap."
Kagome hopped around the premises never staying in one place for too long. So Sasuke never had a chance to attack her.
"Naruto, can you move yet," Kagome asked.
"I can't move my legs! Why the hell was that damn arrow so strong?! You said a few minutes!" Naruto yelled.
"Well I'm sorry that Sasuke used a substitution and the substitute just happened to be you!" Kagome shouted.
"I've had enough. Its time to end our game of cat and mouse!" With that Sasuke let his curse mark transform his body. His skin turned gray his hair blue and grew to his back. The sclera of his eyes turned black and he grew wings that looked like webbed hands with claws.
Kagome gasped in shock. "This isn't good."
"Naruto I need you to move now!" Kagome jumped to Naruto and started to pick him up.
"I can barely feel my feet" he said.
"Try wiggling them. Anything. I need you now!" Kagome said and tried to help Naruto stand on his own only for him to slouch back.
"Please. I don't have enough energy left to do this on my own," Kagome begged. Tears came to her eyes.
And just like that Naruto burst into a red chakra. His normally cerulean blue eyes now a deep red and his pupils dilated. His blonde hair bristled. He finally stood straight.
"No one makes Kagome try!" He yelled and crouched over running at Sasuke.
The two fought for a few minutes before both of them jumped back. They both readied their attacks. Whoever was still conscious after this is to be the victor. Luckily their fighting had given Kagome enough to collect herself.
Getting her breathing under control she grabbed for her bow and readied herself. She aligned the arrow. She forced the rest of her energy into her arrow. The bow and arrow glowed at the raw power. Kagome narrowed her eyes and took sight of her target.
The Uzumaki and Uchiha had jumped back readying their ultimate attacks.
Just then Kagome saw an opening. She steadied her shaking hands once again.
'I can do this. I can finish this' She prepped herself.
"Go." She whipered, finding herself the miko let out a shaky breath before letting the arrow go. T
he arrow zoomed to straight to Sasuke at the speed of light. The arrow shinned so bright it was almost blinding. Kagome, on the verge of passing out, refused herself of unconsciousness. She needed to see her arrow hit the mark. The arrow sprinted past Naruto and made its way to Sasuke's torso. Then there was a blinding explosion of light. Kagome narrowed her eyes to see.
Her heart ached at the sight in front of her. Her eyes widened. Her mouth agape. Her breathing became unsteady.
"No, I put all I had left in that," She whispered to herself.
The final valley was silent. The only sound that echoes was the arrow as it fell to the ground uselessly. The arrow had almost hit Sasuke but the dark power was too much.
Tears sprang from her eyes as Sasuke and Naruto charged each other. Naruto ended up unconscious. Kagome wept silently. Sasuke walked up to her. Kagome slowly rose to her feet and stood shakily. No more arrows, barely able to hold her bow, not enough energy to transform, she didn't even have enough strength to pull out another weapon. But still hunched over she glared up at Sasuke.
"Come now Kagome, we're leaving." Sasuke transformed back into his human form
"What?"
"I'm not going to Orochimaru without you. I'm not leaving you behind," Sasuke said.
"No, I'm not going," Kagome took a step back and fell on her bum.
"Come now. Your too tired to keep[ fighting me," Sasuke spoke, he followed Kagome as she crawled away.
Sasuke sighed. He scooped the miko up into his arms bridal style.
"No!"
"Sleep, just sleep." Sasuke lulled her as he started to walk in the direction of Orochimaru's base.
Kagome closed her eyes against her will and found herself not able to open them.
'I failed my mission' she thought.
Her body too tired shut down. Finally she rests.
