Sasuke/Kagome pairing...NO exceptions


Entering a clearing, the group watched as Kagome knelt down in front of three crosses. She put her hands in a position and chanted something under her breath.

Kagome opened her eyes and they were an aqua instead of her lilac colored ones. (Picture in my profile.)

Kakashi knew she was powerful, but not to what extent. The rest of his students, even Sasuke were awed at the sight before them.

Three mists came out of them (the crosses). They started to form things that looked like people. One looked like an old man with a long mustache. The other was a woman with short hair looking to be a little older then Kakashi. And the last was a boy that looked younger than all of them.

The boy looked up at Kagome.

"Kagome-nee-chan!" He floated to her and hugged her.

Kagome hugged him back after standing back up.

"Good to see you too, Souta."

Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke were all confused and bewildered. That is until Naruto shouted out.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY!" He was pointing at the three 'people'.

"They are my deceased family members," She stated in a deadpan voice.

"Kagome, how is it-?" Kakashi didn't know how to voice his thoughts properly.

Kagome was thinking of a way to explain it. "They are not technically here Kakashi, they are just spirits. I can summon my families' spirits if I choose. There are some conditions to it though. The spirit must be willing to be summoned and I can only do it for limited amount of time."

"Is this part of your blood line powers Kagome?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes, it is. I've learned to perfect most of my powers over years of traveling." Kagome replied/explained.

The other two spirits went up to Kagome and hugged her too. "Ahh, its good to see you Kagome." The lady said.

The old man added, "What have you been up to lately young lady?"

"Just looking for the one who killed you guys. I really don't understand how you can accept being like this. I would definitely not be like how you are right now."

Kakashi could see that the others were not comfortable being around the 'people'.

"Kagome, I think you should introduce them to my students. They seem to be uncomfortable."

Kagome flushed, she had forgotten they were even there. "Sorry, um. This is my mom, Naomi, my grandfather, Kai, and my brother, Souta." She directed to each of them as she said their names.

"Hello, I'm Sakura Haruno. Pleased to meet you." Sakura bowed to respect the spirits.

"Uzumaki Naruto here!" Naruto called out to them.

"Hn." And Sasuke just jumped into a tree.

"That's Uchiha Sasuke. I'm sure you remember me Mrs. Higurashi."

"Kakashi, so nice to see you again. You were always like my brother. I hope you are doing well." Naomi said.

"Yes. We should get going now Kagome. We hope to see you again soon."

And the 'people' went back to the realm of the dead.

"I, too have to leave now Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura." She nodded to each of them and left to go but Naruto asked her.

"Hey, Kagome. Where ya' goin' to?"

"I'm going to continue my journey, to find the one who murdered my family." Kagome said straightly.

"Kagome, we should accompany you. There are many good shinobi in Konoha now whom can protect everyone there. If you don't mind us coming that is." Sakura said.

"Yes, Kagome. It would be good that we go with you. If you were at a vulnerable moment then an enemy shinobi might attack you." Kakashi reasoned.

"Ya! I really wanna' go do something challenging again!" exclaimed Naruto.

Kagome admired his eagerness and the others' helpfulness. She thought 'Why not? It could be fun having around people to actually talk to. But I don't want to put them in any unwanted danger.'

"You would be in danger though. I don't want you getting hurt for my sake. Whoever he is, I believe his name is Naraku, has henchmen after me everywhere. If I get too close to finding him he has them battle me. He hopes that they can kill me, but I manage. I'm only one person after all." Kagome said, trying to change their minds.

"Exactly why we should go with you Kagome. We aren't some weak shinobi. We're the best! We can do anything! And we face life-to-death situations everyday." Naruto said. Sakura nodded and Kagome knew Kakashi would come too.

"Thanks guys. That really helps me. Even though I'm strong, I can't keep fighting those henchmen of his forever." She smiled a small bright smile at them.

"So…if you are going to be traveling with me then I guess you would have to hear my story eh?" Kagome asked as she looked at them.

Sakura sweat dropped. "Ya, I forgot about that."

"Ok, well this might be a long story. So we should get comfortable." Kagome said while starting to lean against a tree. Kakashi, Sakura, and Naruto were sitting down.

"Let's start with my family history. In my clan's bloodline only a few people get the same eyes that I have. (I'm not gonna go into this, just look in my profile.)

My mother was a Chûnin; she just wanted to settle down. Most of the shinobi in my family were at a Jounin level or higher. My father had great skills. I looked up to him, hoping that I could be like him one day.

When I was about 6 my mother had Souta. I thought that he was so cute, always wanting to hear him talk. One time when the whole clan was visiting the baby I unknowingly activated my powers. My eyes as well as Souta started glowing. My father and his side of the family were shocked. They didn't think that the Seirei eye was still passed down in the family. But I proved them wrong. When I was back to Earth I told my parents that Souta was very happy to be apart of the family.

That night the elders of our clan had a meeting about me. I was more protected because of my ability. No one had had that power for many years, till now.

My abilities were kept a secret within the family and I couldn't get any training for it because no one else alive had it. Instead, there were scrolls hidden around the Fire country that would tell me everything I wanted to know about the Seirei eye. Some one apparently, found out about my Seirei eye. There were many attempted kidnappings but I was always with someone who could protect me and I could protect myself very well.

I was ahead of many children my age so that's why I probably never met you guys. Kakashi was my own personal sensei. I became a Chûnin at about 8. He was a well trusted by my family, so he knew about my Seirei eye.

Soon there was an attack on me. I was seriously injured. While I was at the hospital, there was an ambush on my family that no one had survived. I wasn't there at the time and neither was Kakashi, he was with me at the hospital.

I came to the scene the next day. I mourned for them but I couldn't shed one tear. I went and buried their bodies in this clearing. I burned the area we stayed in so as not to have any of their spirits wander back there. I left, vowing that I would find the one who had murdered my clan.

As I traveled I learned on my own how to use my Seirei eye. I wanted to inflict on this person the pain he inflicted on others. I still look for some scrolls about the Seirei eye.

That leads us to where we are now. I have been to many places, chasing him where ever he may be." Kagome finished her long and sad tale.

"Oh, Kagome. We should definitely help you. That's such a depressing story, it must be hard for you to let anybody know this." Sakura said.

"Oh, I'm fine. I've learned to live with their deaths, since I am told that they can live with theirs." Kagome said reassuringly.

"But," Kagome continued with distressed tone, "I found all but my father's body."

Sasuke's POV in the tree

Who are these people? Finally, they're gone. I thought that was way creepy, not that I would tell anybody that. They were her family members? Huh, whatever. Not like I care. Hey what are they doing? You can't be serious. We have to accompany her in her journey. GREAT…if she can't keep herself out of trouble then come with her. I say just leave her. She's telling her story, huh? Might as well hear it.

So that was what she did. She has a Seirei eye. I have the Sharingan. She lost her family like me, and she's also determined to kill her clan's murderers too. I guess we're a lot a like then. She sure is smart, and pretty too. AAK! WHAT am I thinking! I can't think like that. But she is pretty, and that body. Mmmm/licks lips/. Stupid hormones. I better get down there now.

ĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦ

Sasuke landed near the group. "So are we leaving yet?" he sounded annoyed.

"Yeah sure, why not!" Kagome said standing up along with everyone else.

Naruto's stomach rumbled. "After we eat," He said sheepishly.

Kagome laughed. "Ok Naruto. Let's go to Konoha. We should eat first."

Sasuke thought, 'She has such a cute laugh' while looking at her adoringly.

Naruto and Sakura noticed the way Sasuke looked at Kagome, but then he looked away. 'So Sasuke likes Kagome, eh? Let's see what we can do about that. Heheheh. Maybe I can get Sakura to help me.'


Floating, that thing. Well, in Japan ghosts don't have feet. LOL I got that from BLEACH.

Seirei means spirit.
