Inuzuka Kagome...

Graduation

It was the graduation of the class Naruto was in, but he was not in the graduation as he was passed later on in a less interesting story line about some multi-ass fox bitch. That was the old story, this is the new one. Shino was there, with his older brother, Shiro. Hinata was there with her little sister because if Hinata did not comply with the order, Hanabi would beat her up. Sasuke was there alone. Choji was there with Shikamaru because it was really a favor for Shikamaru to come anyways. This is a story for the unknown Inuzuka members. In a strange twist, the males take the females name, and therefore it is a female headed clan. That means that all of you drooling for Hinata and Kiba to get together but chit- chatting and shit-shatting about if Kiba will take her name. Yes, that's true, but this isn't a story about some paled faced puny girl. That's a pass. This is only about the other Inuzuka Clan. Only. Inuzuka. Clan. That her or him or that other group of people not part of the Inuzuka Clan. That is to prepare you for this: Kiba was with his older sister, Inuzuka Kagome. Everything that Ino and Sakura did was uneventful, and in the smallest of details their actions caused Sasuke to leave.

"Good work, little brother," Kagome commented to Kiba. "Now, let's have this dance."

"What?!?" Kiba said. "I don't want to dance."

"Now that is a lie," Kagome said. "I can see that you would not ask me for all of those dancing lessons if you were going here not to dance. So, who are your teammates?"

"Hyuga Hinata," Kiba said, "and Aburame Shino."

"You had better get to know them soon," Kagome said. "I'll be going to look for some other Chuunins."

Around the corner of the Academy, Kagome found Iruka, Shiro, Kurenai, and Asuma all holding bottles of alcohol. Shiro had unwrapped his grey scarf that he used to cover the lower half of his face in order to drink. The group noticed her rank by her Chuunin vest that she refuses to wear over any more than a tank top.

"Smoke?" Kurenai pulled out a crumbled up pack.

"No thank you. With my mother, I've never developed the habit." Kagome said. "What are you doing?"

"Playing dice." Iruka said dropping them near a pool of money in the middle. "Damn, I'm going to have to request another A rank mission to make up with this lost."

"Do you smell that?" Kagome asked. "How would you like to partake in an S-Class mission?"

"We're all a bit drunk right now," Shiro picked up the pot. He moved his gourd that was tied around his waist so he could put the money in his pocket. "Gai would be useful."

"No," Kagome corrected, "he would be dangerous."


Little Brother

Kagome sat in her room. Her entrance into pre-academy was soon. She was excited by the idea. She snapped out of her wondering when her mother, Kikyo, entered the room and turned down the volume of Pink Floyd's "Dogs". Together they sat on the futon.

"Remember how happy you were when you were going to get a dog?" Kikyo asked and retied Kagome's black ponytail.

"I sure can," Kagome turned around and smiled before groaning, "only resentment."

"Good news," Kikyo ended a long pause, "you're going to have a little brother."

"I knew I wasn't going to be perfect." Kagome said.
Still a Chuunin

Kagome lead the way for four disoriented drunks. They tripped each other up as they leaped on the low light roof tops. They jumped over an alley way to the next set of roofs and saw that their mark was stopped by a man up ahead in between two roof doors.

They were in a court with a centre sloped down from the floors proceeding higher than the roof they were on.

"Who's up ahead?" Kurenai asked.

"They smell the same," Kagome said, "but the smell; it's Itachi's."

The two men removed their cloak and peasant hat.

"I have never seen such a great clone," the Itachi they had been chasing said. "Good work, Orochimaru."

"You are going to be given two choices," the furthest Itachi said to the leaf ninjas. "To not take a side, I will advise, would be the best choice. When the Genins from the sand country travel to Konoha, either Orochimaru will use them or as he would think, that I would use them for my own purpose. Will you..."

A large metal keg bounced off Itachi's head to stop him from speaking. Gai gave everyone a thumb up but his smile had less discipline and remained lazy.

"He's a drunken master," Shiro said. Gai was tripping around and giving Orochimaru and Itachi problems; though he thought he was fighting six Itachi's. "Will everyone be okay to fight?"

"With a soldier pill, I should be able to protect myself," Kagome said. "We should split up into two teams. Gai, Asuma and Kurenai will be the close to middle coverage and Iruka, Shiro and I will battle from a medium to far range. Iruka and Shiro should take to the windows of higher floors. Kurenai and I can fight from the outer edge of the rooftop. Asuma, you should help Gai from close up."

"You're still a Chuunin," Asuma said as they were ready to leave.

"Yeah," Kagome said turning around. Iruka and Shiro started to cling to the sides of the high walls. "So what?"

"I'm surprise you aren't a Jounin." Asuma said. He vanished to reappear and cut Itachi with his fist blades but he was replaced by a log. Gai landed a spinning head first lunge on the opponent he was occupying. Asuma lit a cigarette as Gai picked up the tap to the keg and drunk some more. Behind him, Itachi activated a blade from his shoe and kicked Asuma in the ribs. The blade stuck into the blade and Itachi's eyes caught a glimpse of Asuma hitting Gai's head as well as hold a flame of a lighter to Gai's mouth. He was quick in sending Charka to his feet but had to put a lot of force to avoid the flame. He crashed into bricks of the wall. Declining with a cord holding his legs, Shiro grabbed Itachi from above and was set back up with Itachi. Kurenai withdrew to the outer bounds to help Shiro and Iruka who stood on tight wires hanging to wall to wall. Iruka threw a kunai under Itachi's wire and Itachi dropped to the next one to slide down knocking away arrows that were coming from seals.

It was now Kagome's job to keep Gai from falling down as he staggered around.

"Damn," Gai tripping into her and she pushed him back. He fell into Itachi's arms and Gai had brought out two kunais. She then charged and stepped on Gai's shoulder to knee Itachi under the chin. They rolled together with Kagome's legs near Itachi's head. He held her ankle and threw her away as well as stand up to his feet. She coughed some blood. Itachi turned to look at her. His tired eyes full of lines looked at her and his mouth bled. Itachi blew up in smoke. "He's gone."

"So was the one up there," Kurenai said as she dropped down. "Now, we have to write a report."

"Paper work?" Asuma said. "Let's leave it to Gai. He's the most experience, so therefore he is the leader."

"Agreed," everyone else said. They departed and Kagome and Shiro diverged to the park. She pointed at a red tattoo long on the back of Shiro's hand.

"You have become an ANBU member?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah," Shiro said, and took his scarf off to put in his lip ring. "Want to know of why and how I got this?"

"No," Kagome said, "I just wanted to know if I was really so close to skill of an ANBU member. No need to worry about getting into that group."
