Disclaimer: I saw someone that had a shirt on that said 'TTD doesn't own Inu-Yasha or Naruto'. I shot them and got sued.

Kagome-is-kool: OK, you're the Queen of Corn...well, I'm...I'm...the princess of...cows. Yes. Cows.

Zana Hurako: Yes, that's how they first start off in the original story. in Konoha (I'm not giving out anything else though...you're going to have to read it when I get to writing it).

Rawr rawr rawr last chapter. Yesh.

SUMMARY: As the time grows on with Inu-Yasha gone, Kagome opens her eyes and finally cherishes what she got.

Kagome smiled to herself as she strolled through the Akatsuki lair. Today was a good day. Itachi and fish-I mean, Kisame were back from their mission, Deidara and Tobi were feeling better (Zetsu used one of his special herbs to heal them quicker)...speaking of Zetsu, he broke out of his shyness and managed to talk to Kagome. As the cat nin walked she suddenly found herself at the entrance of the Akatsuki lair. Laying a hand onto the giant boulder and pressing against it, Kagome stared to think.

She thought of when she was 15 and fell down the well. She thought of all the adventures she had with her friends. She thought of how the well went haywire and sent everyone hurling to her era. She thought about how they fixed it, but it sent them here. She thought about how she left her friends back in Konoha to join the Akatsuki. Kagome bit her lip, as she could feel her good mood wash away. Did Sango, Miroku, and Shippou feel this way? Wel,l Kagome could barely even remember what had happened when she left. All the cat nin could remember was Shippou crying and begging for her and even Inu-Yasha to stay. A tear suddenly slid down Kagome's cheek as she walked away from the entrance. The girl sighed and started her way to the living room. She almost laughed at the sight that was shown to her when she entered.

Itachi was sprawled out across the floor, along with Kisame who's feet were nearly getting shoved down his throat. Deidara was lying updside-down on the couch, trying to hit Tobi who kept poking him in the face. Kakuzu's string thingys were wrapped around Hidan. The religious man was threatening to kill Kakuzu if he didn't get them off of him quickly. Zetsu was sitting on the ground, bearing a lost look on both sides of his face. Kagome stared at them, cocking an eyebrow at the madness. She cleared her throat to make her presence known.

Silence flooded the room as the male Akatsuki members strained their necks to look at Kagome.

Kagome could've sworn she heard a nickel being dropped somewhere in Canada.

Without warning, the other members started to untangle themselves. Once they were all untangled, they sat on the furniture.

"So..." Kagome started, still staring over the flushed Akatsuki members. "You guys were playing Twister and didn't invite me?"

Nobody answered.

The cat nin didn't say anything else.

"I'm going to go do my ritual," Hidan mumbled, getting up and rushing back to his room.

"Gonna check our money rates." Kakuzu followed right after Hidan.

"Just gonna leave," Itachi muttered monotonesly, leaving. Kisame left behind him without a word.

"Going to make more sculptures."

"Um...my plants need watering."

"I'm going to help Deidara-senpai!"

With that, everyone was gone. Kagome frowned again and heaved out a sigh. Now none of them seemed as if they wanted to hang out with her. The cat nin left the living room and walked down the hallway, stopping at her door. She opened it and looked inside, expecting to see Inu-Yasha sitting on her bed. Nobody was there. The only sound was the blinds whipping around due to the heavy wind that was blowing through the open window. Kagome sat down on her bed, a wave of depression flowing over her. The girl gritted her teeth to stop tears from flowing. Without thinking, Kagome reached down to her nightstand, where a kunai laid. She brought it up to her wrist, tears flowing freshly down her cheeks. She pressed the edge of the blade against her vien.

"Hey Kagome-san, Leader-sama was wondering -- holy shit, what are you doing?!"

The cat nin looked up to the source of the voice to see Kisame standing there, his normally small fishy eyes wide. The shark nin made a grab for the kunai and pulled it with ease out of her hands. His shout had gotten the attention of the other members and they rushed to the room.

"What are you yelling about, Kisame-san? Hmm," Deidara asked lazily. Kisame didn't answer. He merely just stared down at Kagome with his widended eyes. She stared back up at him.

"Were you going to kill yourself?" Kisame asked finally. That got the attention of the other members (a/n: mostly Deidara, Itachi, Hidan, and Tobi, because those are the main people's who are like her in my story). Kagome said nothing in reaturn. She looked down at her lap. The other members looked at her with an almost sympathetic look. Kagome gasped as she felt arms around her. She looked up to see Itachi.

"We...we won't leave you. Not like Inu-Yasha-san did," Itachi said, in his usual monotone voice. Tobi, who was standing beside him, nodded enthuastically.

"Yes! We won't!" the masked man cheered, smiling under his mask. He hugged her as well. Deidara nodded as well, blushed, and hugged her. They all did (even though most of them were blazing -).

Kagome looked around at all of the men and noticed the Leader standing at the door. He smiled at her. She smiled back. The cat nin looked down at her lap again. All this time, she had been just stressing out over one guy that might not come back. All this time, she had been ignoring the eight other men that had gained an intrest in her, but she never gave them a chance.

Tears flowed down Kagome's cheeks again. But this one's were happy ones.

'I mean, who needs one when you got eight?' she thought, followed by an inward laugh as she leaned back into the hug.

See peeps? It was a good 400 words longer than usual. There.

Poo. :P The End.

Actually, not.

This will not be the end of my other story. The other story will have similiar situations (like...-restrains giggle- when they were all over the place.) Speaking of the all over the place thing, please do not ask me what happened. Because I have no clue in hell. I just wanted to do something silly. The ending was OK. It'll be fun to write the original story. It'll be the first mostly Naruto based story I ever wrote. Other than this one.

Bye Bye everybody. Thanks for reviewing. I hope you check in for the... uh...well, this was kind of like the sequal kind of thing so...the...original. Yeah.
