Kagome felt weightless. She felt suspended in a way she had never truly felt before. She couldn't open her eyes, she found that she was fine with that. Her mouth let out a breath to inhale the calming presence around her. She could feel she wasn't alone in her place of peace. Opening her eyes she saw muscular arm reaching for her and familiar brown eyes boring into her own. She stared shocked as the form came closer. It towered over hers, long black hair pull into a high ponytail. A pale handsome face came into view, giving her a smile she hadn't seen in months.

"Dad," she found her voice calling out. The peace began to fall away. He looked away before placing a finger to his lips. She reached a hand towards him, but his image was washed away. She grabbed her throat as water rushed in. Her instincts kicked and she swam upwards. Arms and legs desperately fighting against the pull on her. Her eyes caught the setting sun light that flitting through the water. She was so close. With a final flail she broke the surface with a gasp. She had to spit water and strands of her hair out. She looked around confused as to where she was.

"Oh, thank god, you're okay," she followed the voice to see Shisui standing on the water not far from her.

"Where am I?" she asked and just waded in the water.

"Way downstream the Naka," he answered making a swooping gesture with his hand. He saw the questions emerging in her eyes, "You walked yourself here."

"I doubt that," she stated pulling herself to crouch on the water's surface.

"Oh no, you did. Freaked the hell out of everyone," he said putting on emphasis on the last word.

"What do you mean everyone?" she asked ringing out her hair

"You walked out of the main house in a strange trance. You unnerved Sasuke," he let out a chuckle before scratching behind his ear. "And after neither I or Itachi could get a response out of you. I decided that I'll just follow until you stop. You ok?"

"I saw my dad," she said eyes looking down at the water.

"Oh no. I let you stay under there too long," he walked over grabbing her face, turning it left to right. "Do you have any feelings of mental fuzziness?"

"I know what I saw." She said wrenching her face from his hands.

"I know what you think you saw." He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Your father isn't here and I know that near death experiences make you see what you want to see."

"I know what I saw. I know what I felt." She gripped at her chest. "He was calling to me, but I couldn't hear it."

"If you say so." He said hefting her over his shoulder. He knew about Higurashi Mitsu. The older man was an ANBU, who was exceptionally skilled with water jutsu. After getting to know Kagome and the Higurashi line, he finally knew why. He shushined them to the usual training ground. He placed her on the ground, ignoring the glare she was sending.

"I know what I saw." She said, before tapping her head. "What if he's been the one calling to me? What if I'm developing a connection to him? He can't be dead if that's the case, right?" She looked deep into his eyes.

"I'm sure you do, but now isn't the time." Shisui frowned, even if Mitsu was alive, he wouldn't be able to talk about it. He hadn't reported in from his mission, and the Uchiha disclose information about the ANBU. Before she could assert herself again he turned his attention to the approaching patriarch flanked by his two sons.

"Everything alright here?" Fugaku asked crossing his arms, eyes scanning over them before resting solely on Kagome.

"Of course, Uchiha-sama. Isn't that right, Kagome?" Shisui asked clapping a hand on her shoulder. She looked between them before giving a nod.

She resisted the urge to hide behind her mentor, as the patriarch stepped forward. She kept her eyes trained on the ground while he walked past her. She was almost certain she was in the clear until she felt a finger poke her shoulder.

"You have another one," The patriarch said as his eyes traced over the mirrored lines that had carved themselves there. They started from the middle of her shoulder blades sprouting outwards the curving into a spiral that looped four times before stopping at a point, coming off the outer layer of spirals were evenly spaced three curved lines. "When did this happen?"

"This morning," She said.

"Continue as you were," Fugaku said before turning to walk away. Shisui and Itachi looked at each other.

"Alright, you little genin." Shisui started rolling his shoulders. "For a change of pace, how about you guys spar against each other." Kagome and Sasuke shared a glance before they did a bit of quick stretches. While Itachi stood of to the side, leaning against a tree. "Give it your all. No holding back."

"Why didn't you say anything?" Sasuke asked as he stomped closer to her.

"There was nothing either of us could do about it," She said looking into his eyes unwavered.

"You should have told me anyway." He said trying to keep his breathing consistent and to not pout.

"Enough talk, fight." Shisui almost shouted. He flashed a smirk at his friend as they leaned against the same tree. "My student can kick the shit out of your's." He stated as the two genin assumed their fighting stances.

"You're so certain?" Itachi asked as they exchanged the first blows with each other. The prodigy arched his eyebrow, as eyebrow as Kagome struck Sasuke with a downward kick before flipping out of his reach.

"Absolutely" Shisui watched as Sasuke activated his Sharingan fist aimed for a crack in her defense. The punch connected and made Kagome stumble back. The two older prodigies watched as the genin fight. It was interesting in the way that they seemed matched, almost. Itachi was unsure of his cousin's earlier statement, until the other threw his hands behind his head with a yawn.

"C'mon, Kagome." He called out, the girl didn't stop but Itachi knew that she heard. "I said no holding back. This should have ended at the first hit." He groaned out with his hip cocked. The Uchiha heir eyes widened when he saw the girl's stance change entirely to advanced for a genin, for chunin even. And in a moment Sasuke was on the ground kunai held to his throat. There was a moment of silence until Shisui sliced through it with a slow clap. "Alright, do that again, but Kagome like you mean it now. Sasuke is your enemy."

Itachi watched several more matches between the two, even when his little brother had his Sharingan activated he lost. Kagome was able to out maneuver almost every punch and kick. When Sasuke blew out a fireball she punched through the flames with a lightning charged fist using the momentary smoke plume to tackle him. When Sasuke switched tactics to put distance between them and throw shuriken and kunai. She melded into the small trees, only to emerging to strike when his attention was misguided. It took more heckling from Shisui to get her to end that round.

"Why?" Itachi asked, as the two started another match Sasuke's chest heaved, while Kagome was fine though her eyes would occasionally flash with remorse.

"I'm just training her to be prepared. Even if it's not war time anymore, but enemies don't give a shit about rank. She's going to encounter those, it's better for her to trained at my level than at her own." Shisui said as she knocked Sasuke out.

Hey guys sorry for the delay, school is ramping up for finals. I'll be done with this semester on the 14th. I hope to get another chapter out soon because I work on this fanfic when I don't want to work on my essays. Well anyway, I love you guys Ja Ne~
