Summary: They had been seeing each other in secret for a reason. They wanted something that didn't involve their family. They already had to deal with expectations and the impending uncertainty of their graduation. Sadly good things have to come to an end.

Pairing: Kagome/Sasuke

Disclaimer: No profit being made off of this. Also to clarify thank you to who brought it up, just to clarify Naruto, Kagome, Sasuke and all academy students are twelve. Any mistakes are mine.

Kagome spat the blood out of her mouth, while she breathed heavily. Her hair cascaded over her shoulders, some falling in her eyes. Her outer shirt was gone, and her socks were torn. Her arms felt like lead, and her legs just hurt and she didn't want to see what her back looked like right now.

Hiroto glared at her before hauling her up by her hair. "Do it again." He barked, tossing her to her feet. His gaze hardening when she stumbled, before standing on trembling legs. He did feel a tinge of guilt at the fear developing in her wide eyes, she had his son's eyes. And for a moment he could see Mitsu, young, his eyes scared but determined. He willed the image away, he couldn't be easy on her, that's how he lost Mitsu. "I won't repeat myself."

Kagome either didn't feel the pain of the black vines etching themselves into her skin or everything else hurt much, much worse. She became hyper aware of her surroundings all input coming from the plants in the area. She wiped the dribble of blood from the corner her mouth. She slipped the best she could into a battle stance, all the while channeling her chakra into the trees.

Hiroto charged and for a moment impressed that she could still deflect his hits, while his limbs blurred. For a small moment a smile graced his lips. His fist made familiar contact with her already bruised stomach, she slammed into a tree more blood coming from her mouth. He watched in pride as she stood once more, he had instilled her with more determination than Mitsu. Her chakra was drained, and she could barely stand but she kept going. He was alarmed when she fell to her knees, she was raggedly panting as she tangled her hands in the dropped his guard and walked towards her. Before he could get closer, the grass lengthened before attacking him. He jumped to avoid a strike, he felt the familiar pain in his wrist. He manipulated the tree roots to attack in retaliation. They clashed but in the end his attack won over as the grass fell limp from the lack of chakra being fed to them. Kagome collapsed.

He stood over her. Too bad she couldn't 'see the grin he had because her eyes were scrunched closed in pain. "Better but still not satisfactory. Don't let pain distract you from concentrating." He pressed his foot into her shoulder, ignoring her groan in pain. "I shouldn't be able to do this." He put more pressure. "Vines should be attacking me." He lifted his foot. "I expect better next time." He paused a couple steps away. "You will be healed by tomorrow morning." And with that he left, he was having tea with Uchiha-san.

…

Fugaku sipped his tea and out of the corner of his eye he could see Sasuke glaring at Higurashi-san. He felt disgraced at his son's blatant disrespect, but before he could reprimand him. Hiroto noticed. He cleared his voice. "Is there a reason for your hostile gaze?"

"Where is she?" Sasuke demanded. Fugaku's frown deepened.

"I'm not sure, I don't know where she goes after we finish training." The Uchiha patriarch watched as his son's gaze shifted from venomous to contemplation then to deep concern. His son sprang from the table and left in a rush. He had never seen his son rush for anyone that wasn't his brother.

Itachi sat on the porch facing the Higurashi's backyard. He took in the variety of plants that grew there. Though it felt more lively than it should, almost like they were aware of surroundings. He activated his Sharingan, they were all laced with chakra, interesting. It was then he noticed Kagome limping through the trees. He was going to help when the door opened behind him. He watched as Sasuke stormed out. His brother rushed towards the forest.

Sasuke didn't notice his brother, his eyes widening when he saw her. His legs pumped beneath him. As he got closer he felt more rage engulf him. He stopped before he could run into her and he clasped her shoulders. He felt bad when she winced away from his touch. He cupped her swollen cheek, her eyes were downcast. With his other hand he wiped away the blood from the corner of her lip. Her eyes connected with his, she covered his hands with her's.

"I'm fine, it looks worse than it is." She reassured.

"You shouldn't have to say that." He retorted. "He shouldn't." He grunted in anger. He pressed his forehead to her's.

"I'm fine, it's just training. It's what gonna happen on missions." She reasoned with a lazy shrug. Sasuke tensed, he'd kill anyone that hurt her. The only thing keeping him from doing it now was because it was her grandfather. Who was bringing him to his wit's end. His eyes' skimmed over her for any more visible damage.

"No, because it won't happen." He smirked when she quirked an eyebrow in question. "Because I'll be there to protect you on missions."

"Sasuke," She started. "It's very unlikely we'll even be placed on the same, mpff" He cut her off with a chaset kiss.

"We'll be together, I'll make sure of it." She felt a wave of uncertainty at his statement. It was wishful thinking. They would be separated. Surely there was nothing he could do about that, right?

"Don't think about it too much, let's get you inside so you can lay down." He spoke softly placing his hand gently on her bruised back.

Itachi felt a small smile grace his lips at his brother's tenderness. Though he felt a bit sympathy for Kagome, poor girl couldn't possibly know what being involved with an Uchiha male entailed. Sasuke glared at him as they walked past into the house.

I feel like this is a bit late compared to previous chapters and I apologize I have this other chapter drafted but it didn't feel right to put yet. And also I just moved home from college, I have so many boxes to unpack. But anyway as usual tell me what you think and show your support.
