---Sorrows of Yesterday---
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Naruto!
Hey guys! Thank you for all your wonderful reviews and now…for the long-waited chapter 2! And just to warn you right now, I really, really, really, really suck at battle scenes…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Just as a one time warning, I'm aiming more on quality for this fic, and not finishing time, so don't expect quick updates…thanks for understanding! (If you do…) Man, I've gotta beta this all by myself…
Chapter 2: Miko vs. Ninja
"Ahh!" A loud voice exclaimed and a sharp, metal object whizzed startlingly by Kagome's head, thrown by a boy dressed in orange and a bit of black.
'What the hell!?!?' Kagome thought, startled as she jumped back in surprise.
"Kakashi-sensei!" The strange boy exclaimed, "I found the missing-nin!"
'Missing-nin? What's a missing-nin?' The miko furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, but on the outside of the strange mask she had found, she remained impassive.
The overly excited boy seemed impatient, as if waiting for someone.
Right after that, 3 other people rounded onto the path. One was a girl with pink hair, another was a boy that had interesting white eyes, and the last boy wore a blue shirt and had spiky hair. They all seemed taller than Kagome, except for the pink-haired girl and the guy in orange.
After that, a man with bushy, silver hair emerged, "What was that, Naruto?"
'Ah…so that guy in orange is called Naruto…'
"I found the missing-nin!"
The stranger raised an eyebrow and looked at Kagome. He seemed too calm, "Ah… I see. Good job, Naruto." "Usually the enemy would be quite aggravated by now that we're acting so casual around him. Hmm..."
"That's the missing-nin?" The pink haired girl seemed to comment incredously.
"It seems so." The guy with white eyes stated.
The silver-haired man seemed to decide to trust the overly excited boy and just turned to Kagome, "We've been sent by the Fifth Hokage to assassinate you, but I guess it's too late for that. As a missing-nin, you have betrayed Konoha and therefore, have been sentenced to death."
"Wasn't this supposed to be an assasination mission?" The boy dressed in blue muttered darkly.
'Missing-nin? Hokage? Konoha? What the hell?' Before Kagome could reply, the guy in orange had attacked.
"Oh! Oh! I want to beat him up! Let me beat him up!"
'What!?!? I'm a girl, not a guy!'
Naruto made a couple rapid hand signals, which Kagome completely didn't understand. Her eyes widened as suddenly, 5 replicas of Naruto attacked with what seemed like sharp, black knives.
'Self-defense! Self-defense! Dammit, Kagome!' Her brain seemed to scream. Kagome's mind was reeling. As if on impulse, Kagome reached for her sword and drew, the sound of the sword dragging along its sheath echoing throughout the clearing.
She stabbed one of the clones and let out a small, terrified shriek as it just dispersed in a puff of smoke. Turning around, Kagome swung at the second and third clone, making them disappear too. The 5th was easily killed, but not after ripping the hem of her gloves.
Kagome noticed the pink haired girl back up towards who they called Kakashi-sensei after the guy with white eyes called out, "Sakura! Get behind Kakashi!"
'What a nice name.' Kagome thought idly, trying to re-sort her thoughts after the startling attack, 'Remember Kagome…it's only self-defense…no need to attack back…'
"Bastard! Don't just stand there like an idiot!" Naruto exclaimed.
The once silent boy in blue growled, "Shut up, moron!"
Kagome giggled, "Rivals?" she asked and smirked a bit when Naruto looked surprised. She honestly didn't want to attack…what did she do?
"He sounds like a girl, just like Tsunade-sama said," Sakura remarked.
Kagome rolled her eyes. 'Because I am a girl…' She didn't bother correcting them. It was so confusing. She didn't know why they were attacking her...what type of unusual energy they were using, or why they were calling her a guy.
"Neji…do something…" Sakura whispered to white-eyed guy.
'Neji…?' Kagome inwardly twitched, 'Who the hell is the guy in blue then?'
It was silent for a while, only the sounds of rustling grass being brushed by the wind heard. Each one another stared, daring the other to make the first move.
Alas, Sakura, who looked stressed, drew out one of those strange, knife-like weapons and attacked.
"Sakura!" Naruto cried out in alarm.
"Don't act so fast, Sakura!" Kakashi looked on in worry as she fought.
Clash, clash, bang, clink.
The sounds of metal clashing echoed throughout the clearing.
Suddenly, somehow, Kagome's sword was startlingly pulled out of her hand, causing her to loose her main weapon, 'Uh…' With a wide-eyed expression, Kagome searched her many pockets, trying to find a convenient weapon to use, now that her sword just happened to be lying halfway across the clearing.
Sakura retreated back triumphantly, beckoning one of the guys to 'finish her off'.
Neji stepped up. Kagome and him eyed each other.
'Ah…there it is.' The miko made the first move. Locating her many darts, she threw them, like a true ninja, just like they would with kunai. Of course, Kagome didn't know a thing about that.
"What?" Kagome hissed, as he seemed to shift into a physical fighting stance, muttering two words, "Hakkeshou Kaiten!"
'A…cyclone?' Kagome questioned to herself, trying to jump out of the way as the darts abruptly few back at her, defying the attack she had originally carried out.
"Use…use that other jutsu!" Naruto blurted out after a minute when the darts embedded itself into the ground with a dull thud, "Concentrate your chakra! Burn that missing-nin!"
Sakura fumed, punching him in the head. "Then LET him concentrate, idiot!"
Kakashi scratched the back of his head nervously, watching the battle, "Oi, oi! We can't have injured comrades at the moment!"
The boy in blue smirked.
Neji curtly nodded and shifted into an even more unusual stance.
Kagome regarded him cautiously, blindly feeling her pockets for those daggers from earlier on. She grasped onto a handle.
'Who are these people, and what do they want with me? What have I done this time?'
Reviews would be appreciated.
