1KT: Hey I got some really great reviews, for this story of course.
I want to know what you, the readers, want for this story. What do you think should or should not happen?
I would also like for you again, the readers to come up with a title for this story. I just don't know what will fit, so I'm asking for help.
And some people have been asking for pairings. I have to be honest. . . I've never been the best at making, braking, or even having pairings. So you can't expect much from me.
So far people have requested:
Kagome /Kakashi- though I'm sorry, I just have to oppose this match. I just don't think my character Kagome is good for this. I mean she's only 16 years old, and what is Kakashi? 22 something? I mean he has to be at least 26, sense the 4th was his teacher.
Kagome/Sasuke- I don't know about this pairing, one reason was that I kind of had a lot of fighting involving these two, but don't tell anyone that I was the one who told you that.
Kagome/Naruto- again don't know. But who know, I just might start liking him much more then now.
Kagome/Neji- I love Neji, this might really be a possibility.
Kagome/Gaara- Love Gaara.
Kagome/Lee- I don't like lee to be romantic, or in a relationship, but I still like his character.
Kagome/ who else is there? I just don't really care, if you have someone who you want Kagome to be paired up with, then well, tell me!
Also I need people to help me come up with a title for this story. Give me names, words (that work well with this type of plot), something, heck, almost anything.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Naruto, but if I did own them, I would probably sell them off to the highest bidders. Except Sesshoumaru, Kirara, Miroku, Shikamaru, Neji, and my lovable Gaara.
Chapter two:
Kagome, Kagura, and Kanna saw a tall green canopy overhead blocking their means of light. Though this world was by no means dark. The little sun that did manage to slide past evergreen leaves, enveloped the earthen floor in a golden hew.
Kagura was first to brake the calming silence that held all three woman in place. "What is it you wish to do here, Kagome?" Kagura asked, looking towards Kagome's face searching for answers.
Kagome was still wearing her black hamaka, matching red with golden leaves Chinese haori, leaving her arms covered in her attachments.
Kagura and Kanna still wearing the clothes they had been given to by Naraku. No able to take it off for it was a part of their bodies.
"We're going to look for a town. Let's just hope this world has some form of civilization. With something human like." Kagura and Kanna knew that this wasn't one of those friendly suggestions Kagome was famous for, it was straight-without-question-fallow-it-or-else order.
Kagura and Kanna had no choice but to fallow the steadily fading figure. Walking into the forest of unknown.

A while back the three companions had found a dirt path that looked like it was used regularly judging by the small amount of twigs, leaves, or gravel of any kind. All listening to any unusual sounds from the area ahead of them. All of a sudden Kanna had stopped fallowing her mistress. Kagome immediately stopped and gotten into her defensive fighting stance.
"I want you to hide your aura's, make it seem like you are normal weak humans, understand." Kagome said. She didn't want to become a threat to the people of this world before she even got to meet anyone.
Whoever was coming at them was coming at a great speed. Kagome was getting ready for an intrusion or something to come flying towards her. And something did. It was a kid
Kagome being her calculative self didn't need to use her brain to know that this kid was coming straight at her, and like any normal person, even though she's not exactly what some would call normal, moved away from the 'flying object.' And by moving to the side, she allowed the 'kid' to fly past her while she moved to the right, not even bothering to look at the now-lying-on-the-hard-ground, kid.
Motioning for Kagura and Kanna to keep fallowing her, she went on with her life like nothing happened in the past twelve seconds. Unfortunately the 'kid' didn't seem to be on her side. And after getting up, dusting himself off, he quickly turned and held his hand up yelling the word 'hey.'
And like any normal powerful emotionless person, Kagome didn't stop. Instead kept walking at a reasonable pace.
Again the boy, as we have now identified, called her once more. And yet again Kagome didn't answer him. Neither did Kagura and Kanna. Kanna just being herself. But Kagura putting up a front for those she is unsure of, rarely showing any emotion in this mode.
The boy, clearly not understanding the concept of not answering someone elses cry, ran up to the three some.
"Hey. Um, well, I just wanted to apologies for what happened to um, well, you. And I'm really sorry." The boy, who was now, from what Kagome could see in the corner of her eye, wearing orange. Bright orange. Very, very, bright orange. I mean orange that just screamed, "Please. Kill me!" It was like wearing a neon sign telling the enemy to literally kick me.
"Um, hello. Is anyone there?" The kick-me-kid said. The nickname dubbed by non other then our Kagome.
Again kick-me-kid got no reply. He, still understanding the concept of this whole charade, continued to ask away, and literally talking Kagome's head off.
She was going to blow. And both Kagura and Kanna new that. But what surprised Kagura was that Kagome didn't explode, there were no volcano's erupting, none. She kept it all in, and after a while of this kick-me-kid's chatter, it looked like Kagome had gotten over this nonsense.
"Sense your oviously going to this way to Konoha village, why don't you come with me, to get ramen with me. Well you probably want to get setteled in a place for yourself. But then you can come with me. Hey! You can even meet my friends I'm sure that they will like you. I mean, if you want to meet them. Oh! But before that you would have to go to Granny, to make sure your not a bad person. We've been having a lot of those type fo things happening. It's sad really. That other villages want what we have, instead of just getting it through hard work. I mean if you want something you should earn it. Not just steal it from someone else. But hey, we're almost there. ."
Whatever else the kick-me-kid said, Kagome didn't hear. She was now too occupide with the information the kick-me-kid said. Thinking to herself.
'Who's this Granny? And why would I have to meet her, she might be this kids grandmother. But her checking out the people deciding if they are evil or have ill intentions towards the said village. Then I would have to assume that she was head of the village.
The boy has some wisdom in he's head. That's good, I suppose. Those who work for what they wish for, have the right to bare it for they have earned it's title. And those who steal what they desire for, have no right to call it theirs.' Kagome didn't have anymore time to ponder over what she was thinking. For they had come to the gates of the Konoha Village. Large and wide they stood.
"Who are you?" A voice came from what looked like a guard. Though Kagome was still think of something else to have heard him. She didn't acknowledge him at all.
"I will no repeat myself again, who are you? And what is it that you want?" The guard said again, this time with a little annoyance in his voice.
"I am only a traveling soul, I only wish for a place to stay. I will be on my way tomarrow, if that is what you wish. I will do nothing to harm anyone or anything in this village. For I have no grudge against you or your village." Kagome said, finally looking into the guards eyes. Giving him the truth in her words.
Telling no lies. That was what Kagome believed in. She would tell no lie. She did no enjoy deceiving people with fake promises. It make her feel as though she was a lie, that everything she did, and had gone through was a dream. And the suffering would still linger with no way out.
"If you wish to stay you must have the approval of our Hokage. If you wish to stay, then we will send a guard with you to her. You have no problem with that do you?" The guard said he was edging for her to panic, like a criminal, so that he wouldn't have to let her in. But she did no such thing. Acting like nothing could faze her.
Kagome nodded. She didn't like to use her voice, if it was possible. She always remembered what her voice couldn't do. It couldn't and wouldn't bring any of her loved ones back. Never.
The guard looked her up and down and noticed that she didn't have any weapons. 'She must be a Taijutsu user, and a pretty good one too is she doesn't wear any weapons for anything else.' The guard thought as he motioned for another guard to take the three females to the fifth.
Kagome sees the guard and starts off after him. Kagura along with Kanna slowly fallow, almost seamanly taking in everything this they see, for an escape if necessary. In that order, they left in silence.
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» ¤ ¥ § ¥ ¤ «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««
Red carpet lined the path to the Hokages' office, while dark brown walls guided them to their interrogation.
"We're here." The guard said, gesturing to large crimson double doors, that had unusual designs on it. The guard knocked on the doors.
A faint 'Come in' was heard from the other side of the door, along with a few clings from empty bottles being moved around. Opening the doors the guard to the inside.
Kagome didn't know what she would be expecting. But whatever that was, it certainly wasn't this. In front of her was a woman, who wasn't what someone would call 'Granny.' Though how the boy had come up with that name, and didn't get punish from it, was a mystery for Kagome. The woman looked like she was in her mid 30's, maybe late 20's to early 30's.
blond hair that was tied in two pig-tails going past her shoulders. Green haori with a gray undershirt, from what Kagome could see. Kagome could also see a small light blue diamond on the women's face. Around her were piles of books, paper, and empty sake bottle. Along with the light diamond shape was a light pinkish blush forming on the top of her right cheek, across the arch of her nose, and back to the top of the other cheek.
'She looks like someone who can hold her drink judging by all the empty sake bottles, not to mention still be able to stay awake with the number of bottles consumed.' Kagome thought. She made a mental note of this observation for future knowledge, just incase.
"Well, what do we have here?" The woman spoke up. She was trying not to slur, but was having difficulties.
"Tsunade-sama, these three traveler wish for a place to stay." The guard announced. He seemed to have a little concern in his eyes.
"Very well, now leave so I begin." Drunkster said, again with the name Kagome so thoughtfully gave out of the goodness of her heart.
"Maybe I should stay to make sure nothing happens?" The guard said a little bit to hurriedly, he was giving away that the Hokage, wouldn't be able to take care of herself, meaning the head of this village was vulnerable.
"Are you disobeying orders? No, good, now get out." Drunkster said with a little bit more force showing her authority.
"Very well." The sulking guard left, closing the door behind him.
"Well, now who are you and what is it that you want from my village?"
"I am merely a passing traveling along with my companions, we wish for a place to say the night, and if possible work." Kagome says. No emotion in her voice whatsoever.
Tsunade looked at the girls in front of her. 'They aren't very strong. The girl who spoke is the strongest of the two, but in these woods people needed to have some sort of protection, and it would be a bother to have two non-fighting people, while the other fought off the attacker. So, either they were hiding their aura's, or really where stupid. But she doesn't seem to be stupid, well who knows.
They obviously don't want to seem to be a threat. I guess I could let them stay in one of the guest houses. I will just assign someone to watch them.' Tsunade thought this through, she always had to think more and longer when she was drunk.
"Very well, I will give you a place to stay, in return I ask for a favor, what ever I wish. And as for money, that depends on the value of the favor. Obviously if the favor I ask is difficult to preform, the more money you will receive. Do we have a deal?"
'This deal. What will we be asked to do, well, it doesn't really matter, if the deal is made with Kagome, there is no way we will be cheated out.' Kagura thought she new Kagome would always, no matter what, find a loop whole in the words of others. That's one reason Kagura willingly fallowed Kagome, she was not what people expected from a girl her age. She was much more, more then anyone would ever know. Kagura respected, admired, and some wourld even say she loved her, more then anything or anyone else in this world. Kagome was her connection to life.
"I will agree to this 'deal' of yours. And if that is all, I wish me and my companions to rest from our long journey." Kagome added, she didn't want to seem rude, but she wanted to get out of this foul smelling room. The least people here could do was open the window or something.
"Fine-." Tsunade was cut off by a small squeak from the corner of the room. Standing up fast, she clamped her hand into a fist and smashed it into the ground. Allowing a large crack to form and run to the innocent 'thing' that caused this outburst. This all happening, but not before a load, long, high-pitched scream erupted from the Hokages mouth.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Saying this caused some trouble was an understatement.
No sooner did the Hokage scream, did the door open with people in blue headbands flood through then all holding a weapon, that looked like a throwing dagger, one that had a grip area. They all looked at the used-to-be office, and stared at the three new comers that happened to be Kagome, Kagura and poor little innocent Kanna.
The three girls where now standing behind the crazy Hokage, Kagura with her mouth hanging open and eyes wide with shock, Kagome with her eyes slightly wider, and Kanna with her face still impassive, though her head was tilting to the right in curiosity.
The room was cut in half, literally. Tsunade's fist had struck the floor causing a crack to appear, quite a large one at that. The animal who had cause the squeak was now on the left side of the crack, close to the door, for an easy escape. The wicked animal, that is known all over the world for its hideousness, was the large, and deadly, mouse.
Yes folks, a simple minded rodent was the cause of all this damage.
Kagome looked towards Kagura. And Kagura being Kagura caught on to what Kagome wanted her to do. Kagura moved gracefully towards the mouse, that must have died from a heart attack for it was lying far too still, picked it up by its tail and moved back to her standing spot by Kagome's side. This happened with the flock of bandana heads looking at her curiously.
Kagura then looked at Kagome once again for the rest of the message that only those two seemed to be able to encode. Kagura had gotten the hidden meaning, and a evil smirk appeared on her lips, her head slowly turning towards the scared Hokage. She was going to enjoy this, because Kagome doesn't always allow her to do this kind of thing. Sometimes she's such a bore. But it's not the time to criticize Kagome now, no, now was her play time.
Slowly walking towards the frighted leader, she started waving the little mouse, that was only a baby.
Shrieking for someone to do something, Tsunade, who had just lost her pride, was screaming again. Loud and high-pitched.
"Someone kill it! Do something. Don't just stand there like a bunch of morons, do something!" Tsunade yelled.
"But it's already dead, are you scared of the little dead baby mouse?" Kagura said in a voice that sounded like she was speaking to a child, who has barely understood the meaning of her sentence.
Having enough, Tsunade took a at-hand-book, and hit Kagura's hand causing her to drop the dead mouse. Tsunade started attacking it like there was no tomorrow. Smashing it causing all its little organs to spill out, and also causing some of the people at the door to quickly run out.
'I guess some people here have weak stomachs, though how Kagura can even stand there and let all the 'insides' spill over her, is unbelievable. There is no way that she is going to bed with that stuff still on her.' Kagome thought.
Once Tsunade was done with her little escapade. The looked up, her eyes still wide with fear, anxiety, and adrenaline flowing through her veins. She looked like a mad woman, not that there were many madwoman on the loose. Hopefully.
"If you would be so kind as to have an escort or someone who could guild us to the guest house you wish for us to stay. Then we will leave. Goodbye." Kagome said fallowing a man that the stunned Hokage pointed to. She really didn't know what was going on here, and frankly she didn't want to know.
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» ¤ ¥ § ¥ ¤ «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««
"Here we are. This is where you will be staying for today." The guild said. He had a black short hair and had a cigarette in his mouth hanging loosely. After a brief glance at all the girls the guide took his leave, heading back to the direction where the girls where previously located at.
Kagome finally took her eyes off the guide who had taken them here to where they would be staying for the night. Kagura had already opened the door, and walked in. She already had gone through all the rooms leaving no rug unturned, while Kagome was left watching the fading guide in the hallway. Kanna went to the nearest bedroom, she didn't quite need a room or a bed for that matter, for she was the shadows child and she would always be one with the darkness.
Kanna could fad into the shadows but would come when her mistress called or if her mistress was in danger, Kanna would warn her before hand. She was after all Kagome's eyes, and she would forever be there for her mistress.
Kagome finally came out of her little daze and went into the guest house or apartment which is what it looked like. She saw that the kitchen was in the right hand corner of the room, having a arch way into its confides, but with a opening on the right next to it. This left a gap in the wall so that the people who were in the kitchen could see what was happening in the living/dinning room. There was another room right next to the kitchen's door, it was most likely the bathroom or the bedroom.
Walking into the kitchen Kagome saw that there was another door here. Kagome walked to it and turned the door nob. Slowly opening the door and looking in. It was a bedroom. 'Kagura and I will just have to share a room.' Kagome thought to herself. She didn't have a problem with that, sure Kagura kept the window open at all times to get her wind in, but the wind usually brought fresh air from where ever it had been before. As long as it didn't bring any factory smelling air Kagome wasn't going to argue with her about the window. And Kanna didn't have a problem sleeping, she didn't like sleeping in beds, she preferred sleeping in her shadows, it took up less space, and it didn't bother Kagome at all. A first it had been a bit creepy, but hey, you get used to these kinds of things.
Turning around and exiting the room Kagome made her way out to the living room, or what looked like the living room. She called for Kagura, and instantly Kagura appeared from the bathroom. Kanna soon fallows but asked if she could stay in the shadows while they looked around town. Kagome agreed, it was better if less people knew around them.
"Kagura did you find any keys?" Kagome questioned. It wouldn't cause much of a problem if there were no keys. It's not like they had anything valuable with them. They only have whatever was on their backs.
"Yes. I found them on the kitchen counter. Here." Kagura said handing the keys to Kagome open palm.
Kagome took the keys and motioned Kagura, Kanna has already faded into the shadows, for her to step out of the room.
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» ¤ ¥ § ¥ ¤ «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««
They walked the payments of the town. Looked every which way at all the different shops, restaurants, and watching for any and all exits incase something happens that leaves them at the receding end of an angry mod.
Kagome stopped, she felt something. It feeling was that of a lingering touch. Something so familliar about its brush, that it was eating away at Kagome emotionless face. She was confused, as Kagura or any other person could tell, she was showing the world her true face. Quictly gathering herself, she brought back her façade.
"Kagome, what is it. Is it. . ." Kagura lost her voice, she too felt the close presence. 'Why is it so familiar? How is it familiar? So close, it's too close. Kagome!"
Kagura came out of her thoughts when she noticed that Kagome was no longer near her side. She was near panic. What was she to do. How was she going to find her? 'No, calm down. I will find her, she is my everything. And I don't plan to let her go.'
"Kanna." Kagura's voice exhaled. She said the name of her shadow sister, and before her appeared Kanna. Her color a pale evergreen.
"What is it?" Kanna replyed her calling in her monotone voice.
"Where is she? Do you see her?" Kagura asked already knowing that Kanna knew where Kagome has gone. Nodding Kanna took Kagura's hand, and they vanished into the realm of the shadows.
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» ¤ ¥ § ¥ ¤ «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««
Kagome was now standing outside the wall of the Konoha village. She didn't want to endanger the village people. Even though she does not show the emotion she once did, she still is Kagome, only a newer version of the original. Call it an update. 'Great now I'm making cracks about myself and computers. How sad.' Kagome's thoughts where her own and only hers. No one, not even Kagura, and she was the closest thing to Kagome since Sango, could know what goes on in her head. She like the privacy.
'Here they come.' No latter then when Kagome thought that did Kagura along with Kanna move back into the light. Finally out of the shadow, they stood by Kagome's side. One on each side of her. Kanna on the left and Kagura on Kagome's right.
"I suppose that this presence is not one that is welcomed in this village." Kagome said aloud.
Most of the people who where in the same room as Kagome, Kagura and Kanna had now shown up at there new location. 'What is going on. Don't tell that this lone presence cause all this commotion. Well it matters not, this presence is the lingering smell of Kagome's village. They will not go unpunished. Not when they hurt my mistress!' Kagura thought with such malaise, that Kagome felt her hatred spike to unbelievable number.
Looking towards Kagura she saw that Kagura's eyes were turning a red. 'This will no do. I can't allow this to transpire, Kagura can seriously get hurt. She must have not felt the power of the enemy with her anger clouding her senses.'
"Kagura. I will not allow your youkai to take hold of you. You must push it back in its place. If not, you will be of no use to me. Do I make myself clear." Kagome mentally winced she didn't mean for herself to sound so cold. But she was becoming like this and she really couldn't allow Kagura to make a mistake as one such as this.
They would be risking more then just Kagura's safty. But also the trust of this village. And that was something that they couldn't loose.
But Kagura's youkai still didn't reside back to its confides. It was too far in the process of its freedom to give in and listen to Kagura's demands. Deep inside her mind, the true Kagura was in total panic, she wished to obey Kagome, she really did. But she just couldn't subdue the monster inside of her. She need help, but then that would cause Kagome to through their front away.
Kagome couldn't think of anything else but that. So that's what she did.

Tsunade had heard from one of her ninja's reports. Something was coming and it was very powerful. It was coming from the west side of the village.
The side where she sent those girls. 'Maybe one of them can help with this attack. Though I don't know how much of a help they will be. They might be weaker then our genin.'
Tsunade didn't have time to think more one this subject. She had to get to the west side.
'Please don't let anyone be hurt.' Was the Hokage of the Konoha villages last thought before she disappeared from her office.
