Chapter 7: Anger

The room was tense as five people watched from the sidelines in the Hokage's office waiting for something to happen, Sakura bit down on her thumbnail watching the interaction between Tsunade and Kagome. They stood, facing off with on another with the desk the only thing between them, blue narrowed down on honey brown ones you could even see the electric charge flying between the two alpha females. Neither one backing down, tension swam in the air making the room feel like a sauna crammed with twenty people inside of a small box. Kakashi cleared his throat before stepping up to the women and offering a piece of advice "Lady Tsunade, isn't there a better way to.." he didn't get to finish his sentence as two pairs of angry eyes leveled on his form, sweat coating his forehead as his visible eye creased in worry; hands raising up in a peaceful gesture. " Stay out of it" they spoke in unison before returning to their glare match.

"Way to go Kakashi" Yamato stated as the copy-nin slinked back to the others on the far wall. Jiraiya smirking before speaking up from his seated position on the floor "You might as well give her the jewel Tsunade, she can see it, no matter the seals you placed on it." His admission of the girl's talent caused the older woman to break eye contact and look down at the desk, it had been placed in a box with a seal in the back of a drawer. "Can you really see it?" her voice was shaky with anger but a thick swallow allowed her a few moments to gather her thoughts. "It's right here!" Kagome refrained from slamming her hand down on the desk and instead pointed to the exact spot it was. Grumbling softly the slug queen moved to open the drawer, mindful not to break the desk as she rifled past paperwork only to pull out the box and set it in front of the stranger; everyone brave enough to move closer to the scary woman peeked at the sealed box. Watching as Kagome placed a hand on it and pour a bit of that pink chakra into it, the seals giving way without complication. Yamato glanced to his old captain before watching the woman with interest as she pulled the lilac color jewel from it, watching it shift to a brighter pink color the instant it touched her skin.

"Now, the matter still stands on the demon living inside of him. That seal will not last much longer and that thing will kill Naruto either release it from him now or let him train to control it." Kagome spoke while fiddling with a strand of beads she pulled from inside the sleeve of her kimono, sealing the jewel to it and placing it back over her neck where it would remain for a while more.

"We cannot release the nine-tails on the land once again, it took to many lives to stop it once before. You said there is a way to control it?" at Kagome's nod Tsunade sighed before sitting back down in her chair, mind calculating everything.

"Tsunade, Kagome is a priestess and has far more knowledge in this matter, trust her, she saved my ass before!"
