Sasuke/Kagome pairing...NO exceptions

Kagome and the others were at the Ichiraku ramen shop. Kagome said she would pay, but she didn't know what she was getting herself into. Everyone got ramen, and when the ramen came Naruto went crazy. He ate his ramen practically in one gulp.

"More please" Naruto said putting down his bowl down and getting his next one. This time it was messier and more disgusting.

Kagome, Sasuke, and Sakura were very grossed out. Since Kagome wasn't use to this she turned green through all 5 bowls he had eaten.

"I-I just lost my appetite." Kagome said pushing her bowl of ramen away. Naruto saw the bowl and said with a mouth full of noodles.

"Are ya gonna eat that?" But more in a muffled version, but she still understood.

"Umm…you can have it." But Kagome regretted it after that. He started to pig out on it.

"Stupid Naruto." Sasuke said, equally disgusted.

"Have some manners Naruto. You're eating Kagome-chan out of her money." Sakura said.

"Oh! No, I don't mind. Its, just pretty gross is all." Kagome said.

After Kagome paid they left, with Naruto smiling happily. (Aya, Kakashi didn't talk at all during that.)

"Well we should rest up and we can look for leads to Naraku tomorrow." Kagome said walking in front of them, backwards.

"If we are going, then I must report to Hokage that we will be gone for an undetermined amount of time." With that Kakashi left to report it to the Hokage.

"Well, um. I should tell my family that I'm going. Night." And Sakura left too.

"Guess it's just us now. So where are you going to stay the night Kagome?" Naruto asked.

"Well, um. I don't know. I guess I'll just find a tree to stay in tonight. I don't mind. I usually do anyway." Kagome said.

Kagome said that too soon and, unfortunately, it started to rain. They went under a roof to avoid getting soaked.

"Darn it, if I stay in a tree in this weather than I'll get sick for sure." Kagome said. She didn't want to miss a chance to look for Naraku.

"Hey, maybe you can stay with one of us. I wouldn't mind" Naruto suggested.

"Um, Naruto. I appreciate the offer but after seeing how you eat, I don't wanna see how you live. No offence." Kagome said, while sweat dropping.

'Now to take my plan into action.' Naruto thought.

"None taken. I'm sure you could stay with Sasuke. He has plenty of room," Naruto said, looking over at Sasuke. He had a look in his eye.

"I wouldn't want to be a burden. I can just find a place here somewhere for the night." Kagome said.

'I wouldn't mind having company over. And I wouldn't mind it if she was the one to be my company either.' Sasuke thought.

"She can stay." Sasuke said abruptly. Kagome was surprised; she didn't think he would say that.

"What?" was Kagome's oh so intelligent answer.

Sasuke was irritated, "Do I have to spell it out? I said you could stay at my place."

"Oh! Thanks Sasuke, I promise not to be a burden." Kagome said, while latching herself onto him for a hug. Sasuke was blushing madly, one because she was hugging him and two because he could feel her breasts.

When she let go he turned away so that she wouldn't see him blushing. "Okay, well that settles that. I gotta go to sleep now, later." And Naruto was gone with a teleportation jutsu. If they walked to Sasuke's apartment then they would get soaked, so he decided he would teleport both of them there.

He said, "Hold on." And she held his arm while he teleported to his home.

The lights were off but she could see some things. There was one bed against the wall with three pillows. There was a desk by it with a few books. A large window with curtains was on the other side of the bed and had a dresser under it. On top of the dresser was a TV and in the corner nearest to the TV was an armchair. That was his room; down the hall was her room, the guest room. The room was the same as his, except for the books.

Sasuke went to turn the lights off and showed her around.

"Down the hall is your room and at the end of the hall is the bathroom. There's towels in the cabinet under sink." He told her.

"Thanks Sasuke. I appreciate you letting me stay the night. Good night." She bowed and left to go to her room.

'Why did I do that? Naruto would have let her stay at his place. What do I feel for her? Is she attracted to me? She has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. She has an attractive figure. She's skilled, strong, and smart. Plus she isn't clingy to me like most other girls are. She's…perfect.' Sasuke thought while slipping into his bed. 'I'll think about it tomorrow.'

With Kagome

'Sasuke is sweet, letting me stay at his place. I wonder why he did though; I could have found some shelter in all this weather. Oh well. I'm getting along pretty good with everyone. I hope they can really help me with this. I seriously don't want them getting hurt. I've only known them, except Kakashi, for hardly a day and I can trust them already. Yawn I'm tired.' And Kagome was in bed going to sleep.

Next Day

Kagome yawned while getting out of bed, stretching lazily. She went up to her bedroom window and opened the curtains. (She closed it before went to sleep, so did Sasuke). The sun still had not risen up. Kagome was used to this though, she always woke up on instinct before sunrise. Not that she minded. She always loved how the early morning smelled.

She came out of her room and looked into Sasuke's room to see if he was awake yet. He wasn't, oh well. She decided a shower would do her well. Kagome went into the bathroom closing the door behind her.

Sasuke woke up about 10 minutes later. He climbed out of bed and began stretching his limbs. He was going to go to the bathroom and didn't know Kagome was awake yet so just decided to wake her up after going to the bathroom. He exited his room and was met by a sight.

Kagome was all done with her shower and wrapped a towel around her body while getting out. She had extra clothes in her room so she just walked out the door. She wasn't planning to let Sasuke see her half naked.

Sasuke was shocked. He was not expecting to see a goddess half naked. 'Kagome is so gorgeous. Her skin, it looks so delicate. And the water on her body is making it glisten.' He thought, all the while blushing very badly.

Sasuke registered what was going on and turned away. Kagome then realized how awkward the moment was and blushed too. Then she sped inside her room and hurriedly closed the door.

When he heard the click to a door, Sasuke turned around again to see she was gone. He went over to the bathroom and took a shower too.

Later

Kagome and Sasuke avoided eye contact on the way to meeting the group. They didn't want to think or talk about that embarrassing moment any longer. They met up with Kakashi, Sakura, and Naruto near the middle of town.

"Oh, so I see that Kagome stayed with Sasuke. I hope you children didn't do anything naughty." Kakashi said.

Sasuke and Kagome blushed, more Kagome than Sasuke. You could tell that Kakashi was grinning like a mad man.

"Ohhhh…so you did I see. You two are wild. Just meeting each other and already-" He was cut off by Kagome.

"W-w-we" Kagome tried to explain, but couldn't get the words out of her mouth.

"We didn't do anything Kakashi-sensei. She just stayed at my place because it rained last night." Sasuke said emotionlessly.

"OK, if you say so. Then let's head out." Kakashi said.

"I heard some leads that Naraku might be in the rice fields country. In the hidden village of sound." Kagome said casually.

Kagome saw that they were a bit fidgety, or hesitating.

"What's wrong?" She asked curiously.

"That's, the village led by Orochimaru. He cursed Sasuke to prevent him from using his Sharingan. We haven't seemed to locate him yet. We have reason to believe that he is in the Hidden Sound village because when ANBU are sent there to investigate they either come back hardly alive or…not at all." Kakashi said gravely.

"So…what do we do about it? I told you guys that I didn't want you in danger and I don't. If you don't want to come, I understand. I could try to do something for Sasuke-san's curse. But I can't guarantee anything." Kagome replied.

"What could you do Kagome? Sasuke has had this curse for years now. I know he's tried to activate his Sharingan eye and resist the urge to stop. But he ends up in much pain and usually needs days to recover." Kakashi said.

Her eyes started to glow and they turned aqua and had a pupil in it first (1st level). Then it had two swirls in it (3rd level). While this happened Sasuke's curse mark (on back of neck) glowed and a misty looking serpent came out of it. It circled around Sasuke a couple of times before going around Kagome. Then her eyes had four swirls in it (4th level). The color of the serpent, which was grayish-black, like ash, was beginning to be drained of its color. The color turned into a stream and circled the serpent, as if trying to find a way in. Kagome held a hand over the stream of color and led it to Sasuke. She placed her hand over Sasuke's chest and the stream entered his body.

Sasuke was confused, as was everyone else. He thought that he was going crazy when it appeared that the serpent came out of his curse mark. He watched on when it circled him and Kagome. Then before he knew it her hand was over his chest and he felt a burst of energy enter him.

Kagome's eyes turned back to lilac and she smiled happily. The rest wanted to know what she just did. She saw the looks on their faces and explained to them.

"I told you that when my eye is activated it has special powers, one for each level. I just searched for the seal's spirit, summoned it, and gave its power to Sasuke. Easy as that." Kagome said.

"So is the curse gone now?" Sasuke asked.

"Well, it isn't exactly. I can't destroy curses. This person probably wanted you to rely on using the power of that curse seal so they could take your powers. So he put some of his soul into it, to make sure you are connected to him in some way and that he could control it. But I can take away a spirit's power, which is what I just did to the curse. The part that Orochimaru put into it was small but the rest of the curse was just chakra. I gave you the chakra and the curse now has a minimal effect on you. I would have to destroy the person's soul who gave this to you so that the curse may disappear." Kagome explained.

"Whoa. So Sasuke can use his Sharingan eye now?" Sakura asked.

"Yes." Kagome replied.

"Now that that problem is solved, let's get moving." Kakashi said.
