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

There was a tension in the class, most of the them had managed to graduate. This was it, they were going to be assigned on teams. Kagome noticed that Sasuke's fangirls weren't glowering at her for once. But she could hear the snide comments about who would be able to have the honor of being on the Uchiha's squad. She'd be lying if she wasn't a little concerned. She felt conflicted. One on hand she would love to on the same squad as him, but she could him being, overprotective, would be a generous describer. On the other she wondered how'd it be to have to be around new people. She thought about the possible matches. She considered Shikamaru, they'd worked well together on a few assignments. Choji, they didn't spend a lot of time together but he's nice. Kiba, she didn't mind him and she'd have access to a Akamaru. Then there was Shino, she'd never interacted with him and she wasn't so sure about him. There were other males in the class but she couldn't remember any of their names.

The class quieted down as Iruka walked in holding a paper in his hands. Though before he start, she almost bit a hole in her cheek from the pain that surged from one shoulder blade to another. She leaned forward resting her head on her crossed arms taking a lot of her sweater sleeve into her mouth. She chewed on it, it didn't offer much relief. Thankfully Sasuke and Naruto were too tense about the names Iruka was calling to notice her.

"Team Seven, Uzumaki Naruto, Higurashi Kagome." She didn't look up, though she could hear Naruto's cheers. Is that what the Hokage meant by changing up the teams? "And Uchiha Sasuke." She stopped chewing after that was announced. Iruka moved onto the next team, to the disappointment of the Uchiha fanclub. She knew she should feel happy about this, but she couldn't. She peaked at Sasuke. He was staring at her, his eyes dancing with joy and something that she didn't recognize, it didn't feel right. Before she could give it more thought the pain pulsed, she went back to biting her sleeve to distract herself. She winced away from the hand that brushed against her back.

"Well after lunch come here and wait for your sensei." Iruka announced before he left the room. The room buzzed with excitement as teams moved to sit together.

Kagome sat up, she tried to keep her breathing under control. She felt an unbearable sense of being dry, like she needed water. She choked when she tried to swallow with her dry mouth. Her mouth had that unpleasant stickiness that left a sour taste in her mouth. She stood with a rech, mouth covered she rushed out of the room before anyone could ask. She ducked into the first bathroom. She gagged as she leaned against the sink. She turned the knobs watching as water dumped into the sink. As she reached to place her hands under, pain surged through her back. The water defied gravity to encase her face and lifted her off the ground. She gripped at the liquid. She made the mistake to scream, air bubbles rushed out. She flailed her legs, as water rushed down her throat.

As spots danced across her vision, she was dropped to the floor with a thud. She gasped as her wet hair slapped her face. She started stared at the faucet, water flowed out normally. She hooked her hands on the edge of the sink, she stared at it. The water just fell into the sink. She reached her hand towards the stream. Pulling it back when the water faulted. As she stood she placed her hand under the spout watching amazed as it flowed around her hand. She blinked as a drop ran into her eyes.

She touched her head letting it trail through her locks. She could explore whatever that was later. She took off her sweater and used it as an impromptu towel. Though it didn't absorb much as it was already damp to begin with. She untied her hair. Gathering all her hair into a bun before retying it. Before she left she tied her forehead protector around her arm. As she wrapped her sweater into a tiny bundle, she felt a presence outside the bathroom. She guessed they didn't want to come in because of the sounds earlier. She braced herself as she walked out. But instead of seeing a girl, it was Sasuke his Sharingan blazing.

"You were gone a long time." He said blinking returning his eyes to normal.

"I ate a weird mix at breakfast." She said hiding the sweater behind her back.

"Why was the sink running the entire time?" He asked arching an eyebrow. "Where's your sweater?"

"I got puke on it." She said backing against the door when he reached a hand out. She pouted when he let out a chuckle while sliding his hands in his pocket.

"You can't lie to me." He said and she rolled her eyes. "Also your hair is wet."

"I'll tell you later, alright." She said stepping forward to place a kiss on his cheek in an effort to distract him. This worked against her as he placed his hands her shoulders. She tried to contain her shock when the contact didn't hurt. In fact her back felt better, there was a tingle but otherwise normal. They didn't share any more words as the walked towards the classroom. The only people there Naruto and a napping Shikamaru

The newly minted Team Seven was still in the classroom long after everyone else's sensei had already collected their students. Naruto was angrily pacing the classroom grumbling under his breath. Kagome was on top of a desk doing a stretch that had her elbows on the smooth surface and her feet resting on her head. While Sasuke rested his head on folded hands.

"Where is he?" Naruto paused to glared at the door.

"He'll be here at some point." She said as she tapped her foot against her head.

"Well I'll show him for being late." Naruto grumbled grabbing an eraser from the chalkboard. He grabbed the chair from behind the desk and dragged it behind him. She watched at he set up the trap.

"Naruto, I doubt a jounin will fall for that." She said with a yawn. Her eyes locked onto the door as she felt a chakra signature approach. The door opened and they all watched shocked at the eraser fell onto ashy hair. Though most of the face of the man was covered, with only one eye visible, he looked over them unimpressed. Until his visible eye landed on Kagome. Young genin couldn't contain herself as she rolled to sit on the edge of the desk accusatory finger pointed at him. "It's you."

"My first impression of you is that I'm unfortunate." They all stared at him confused. "Meet me on the roof for introductions." His head ducked out of the doorway.

"You know him?" Sasuke asked eyebrow arched.

"Not well, I've seen him when I train in the woods." She stated hopping off the edge of the table. She did a languid frontflip towards the window. Before her fiance could ask anymore questions she jumped out the window. When she did a final flip onto the railing of the school rooftop. She could tell for a moment he was surprised before he turned his attention back to his book. She stared at the orange cover, it looked familiar.

"Icha Icha Paradise." She read aloud before her face blushed. That book, her grandfather had a few copies and she'd seen Shisui read it. And she out of curiosity read it. "Why are you reading that in public?" She demanded. His eye looked at her before going back to his book. With a huff she let her legs down from her crouch allowing her to sit on the railing. They sat in comfortable silence as Naruto and Sasuke ambled to the step on the roof. They sat in silence for a moment longer, before Kakashi lowered his book.

"I guess I should introduce myself. I am Hatake Kakashi, and I'm your sensei." Every just stared at him.

"We don't know anything about you." Sasuke said from behind his hand.

"Maybe you should start so we know how this is supposed to go." Naruto added irritated.

"Things I like and things I hate. I don't feel like telling you that." Kakashi paused. "My dreams for the future, never really thought about it. As for my hobbies, I have lots of them" He crossed his arms, before he looked at Kagome "Why don't you start?"

"I'm Higurashi Kagome. I like oden and spending time with my brothers. I hate, I'm not really sure what I hate. I dislike a lot of things but I don't any of them go to something as intense as hate. My main hobby is practicing acrobatics and dancing. My dreams are," She'd had never given it thought, but she felt something at the back of her throat. "I want to understand my powers and become a powerful kunoichi."

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto. I like eating ramen with my siblings. I dislike the time ramen takes to cook. My hobby is training with my siblings and comparing ramen flavors. My dream is to become Hokage, so people will acknowledge me." He smiled brightly.

"I'm Uchiha Sasuke. I only like a few things." His eyes moving towards Kagome didn't go unnoticed by the jounin. "I dislike a lot more things. My hobbies are training. My dream is to work with my father and brother in the Police Force."

Kakashi looked over the cover of his book. This had to be his luck. This had to his team. A ramen obsessed dreamer. An Uchiha that was infatuated with another team member. And an unstable prodigy, though she came off as relatively normal for the moment. He wouldn't be sure until later.

"We'll meet in the morning on training ground seven. Be sure to get enough sleep and don't' eat breakfast. You might get sick." Kakashi jumped from the roof leaving behind three confused genin.

"You still coming by for training?" Sasuke asked as he stood. He walked over to lean on the railing beside her. Kagome felt a nagging feeling that she should decline after what happened earlier. However, she knew Shisui would hunt her down if she didn't show up. She slid of the railing and grabbed his hand.

"Let's go." She said giving Naruto a wave before they walked away.

She breathed through grit teeth. She was regretting her decision. She had been fine until they got to the banks of the Naka River. Her back was in agony. Shisui's lecture about awareness was indistinguishable garble. She was sure her palms were bleeding. Her hands were clutched tightly to keep her from digging into her shoulder blades. Her legs buckled under her. She planted her forehead on the grass, drawing some comfort from the earth. She hands acted on their own and gripped at her bare shoulders.

Shisui stopped what he was saying to look at the genin. His instincts kicked in when he saw the state she was in. He noticed that the river was choppier than normal. He crouched beside her and called her name. He reached a hand out to touch her, when he saw the intricate black lines that decorated both shoulders. He persisted only to be stopped when water wrapped around his hand. His activated his Sharingan to look for an attacker. He didn't see one, but the Naka River was flared with chakra. He followed the source back to the little genin. His eyes widened, it felt like when she was using wood or lightning. But since when could she use water? Before he could call to her again the water began to consume him.

"Kagome." He called. The water was creeping up his neck. His voice got to her that time. He got his second shock as panicked pale blue eyes looked at him. For a moment things escalated as his head was encased in water and the river tides bashed against the shore. As he was about to gasp for air, his prison feel from his face. He fell back onto his ass letting out a sigh in relief. He looked and the river was flowing normally once again.

"I'm so sorry." Kagome murmured, her eyes down cast. She looked at him, they were back to their normal hue.

"Nothing to be sorry about." He waved it off with a smile.

"I could have killed you...if it hadn't stopped talking when it did." Her eyes widened when she realized what she let out of her mouth. "I need to go home." She moved to walk away, but her wrist was grabbed. Shisui saw that the lines were gone now.

"We can handle this." He said flashing a thumbs up. She thought about it. Going home meant she could get help from her grandfather and not risk killing anyone. But dealing with grandfather was also the downside, so against her better judgement she turned to face the other. They sat around waiting for another flare up, when it didn't come they spared like normal. Only to stop when she collapsed grasping line marked shoulders and they were both pulled to the bottom of the river's treacherous depths. Before they could drown or be crushed by rocks, Shisui used his Sharingan to subdue her. He carried the unconscious girl to the shore. After deeming her vitals okay, he carried her to the main Uchiha house.

Another chapter in the bag. I wanted this done sooner, but the last chapter took more out of me than I expected. Which is good, it gave me time to think. And my dear readers it was hard to decide what to team to place Kagome on. I was split. But I saw a stronger possibility here of Kagome and Sasuke's relationship going through more strain if they were on the same team. And some of you may be wondering, where is Sakura? I didn't want to do what other authors did of just tacking Kagome onto Team Seven. It's always seemed very disjointed to me and made the teams unbalanced. It's weird for the chunin exam arc for only one team to have four people. I wanted to avoid that, so I put Sakura is on a different team. I'm not omitting her from the story,. I'm not sure where I'll put her now, but I'll think of something. Kagome's water element manifestation was not something I had planned out, it just came to me one day. And I'm excited to expand on that in the coming thank you for your continual support, I really appreciate it. After the last chapter I was concerned that I would lose people, but the outcome was more positive than I could have ever imagined. So thank, I love you guys. Ja Ne~
