A/N: Thank you for reading my story! I love reviews, so if you want me to update faster, please review! I'm putting an OC in this story. Her name is Anita. Sorry for not updating, I was going to update yester day, but I didn't have the time to finish this chapter.

Betrayed

Chapter 4

Kagome looked at the house in front of her. It was her friend Anita's house. 'Well, I can't back down now. I have to go home.'

Her friend had long raven colored hair. It was always put in two high pigtails. She also had onyx colored eyes. She used to live somewhere else before and came here in the senior year. She used to live in a place called Konoha (A/N: For all you Naruto fans, she used to live there! She's originally from Konoha, okay).

Kagome was nervous about what to say to her high school friend. 'What if she asks questions that I can't answer? What if I make a fool of myself?'

Kagome walked up to the door, slowly, she lifted her hand to knock. Right before she could knock however, Anita opened the door. She looked like she was going somewhere.

Anita's eyes widen in surprise, "Kagome? What are you doing here? Don't you live on the other side of town?" Kagome nodded slowly, not sure of what to say. Her friend had her hair down now; it reached her mid-back.

"Are you still sick? Do you want me to take you home?" Her friend asked. Kagome nodded again. Anita headed toward her car.

"But, weren't you going somewhere?" she whispered. Anita looked back at Kagome. "Yeah, I was, but you look like you need a ride. I only needed to get some groceries so it is okay."

The two walked toward her car. They drove in silence; Anita didn't want to bother Kagome if she didn't feel like talking.

Anita stopped in front of a big house. Kagome sat in her seat and looked up. She was still sitting when Anita said, "Come on Kagome, aren't you coming in?" Kagome nodded again and got out of the car.

Anita's POV

I looked back at Kagome. She looked the same as when we were in high school. I was going to visit Konoha, but she showed up.

But, I do have to take care of her. They would want that. I wonder if my friends from Konoha miss me. It has been two years.

She's definitely their sister. And her chakra signature, it's very high. I wonder if she really is their sister, her chakra signature is similar to theirs. She does look a lot like them, except for the brown eyes.

I wonder if she unlocked her kekkei genkai (bloodline limit) yet. Then again, I don't think her mother told her about her heritage. They should have told her. Where has she been for the past year?

Stupid, did they think that they could hide the fact that she is from one of the most powerful clan in Konoha? I bet her mom didn't even tell her what her last name is!

They should have, but they didn't. She isn't sick, and she was never sick. I could tell by her chakra signature. It was never weak in school when she came back, or when I went to that shrine when she was supposed to be sick.

But, her chakra, does she know how to use it? She is a miko, so maybe her miko powers suppressed her chakra powers. They are very similar to each other.

I walked to the door and turned around to face Kagome. I smiled sweetly, even though I wanted to retch. I felt sick, sick for my home in Konoha.

If Kagome hadn't come along, I would be on the way home by now. Maybe I should take her to Konoha. Then I can tell her everything about her, and her past.

'I miss them all, Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan, Sasuke-kun, Kakashi-sensei, Tsunade-sama, my siblings, and most of all, Itachi-kun. I need to see them; they are probably worried sick about what happened to me after that ANBU (a higher-ranking ninja) mission.

"Kagome, there's the door. I hope you get better now. I'll see you later. If you want, I can pick you up, and we can go to the mall."

I saw Kagome nod. I smiled again and went back to my car as she knocked on the door.

When I got in the front seat, I sighed. I wish I could tell her everything, but I can't, not yet at least.

Normal POV

Kagome knocked on the door as Anita drove away. Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! Diiiiiing! Doooooong! Diiiiiing! Dooooooooong!

There was a pounding of footsteps, telling her that someone was going to answer the door.

"What?" yelled a tall, American man, he had blue eyes and brownish-blonde hair and tan skin.

Kagome jumped in fright, maybe she went to the wrong house.

"I-is th-this the H-higurashi home?" she asked in a small voice.

The man narrowed his eyes and said, "Its Smith now." (A/N: I couldn't think of a good American name.)

"May I see Souta?" Kagome asked. The man looked at her closely before saying, "He's not here."

Kagome looked down and frowned, 'Where could he be? Is he at school? Is he at the mall? I don't know what day of the week it is.'

Kagome looked up at the man and said, "May I speak to his mother?" The man nodded and turned around, still holding the door.

"HONEY! SOMEONE WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU!" He yelled loudly, making Kagome cringe from the loud noise. Curse her sensitive ears.

The man walked back into the house and Kagome waited for a few seconds before her mom showed up.

"Hel-Kagome?" Her mother said. Kagome didn't say anything, just kept a blank expression on her face. Her mother pinched herself, to see if she was dreaming. Her mother thought as she felt the pain.

Kagome stood there and let her tears fall, not making a sound. Her tears silently trailed down her face and landed on the ground.

"I'm so sorry Kagome." Her mother whispered as she hugged her daughter tightly.

Kagome immediately pushed her mother away; obviously still hurt that her family moved without them telling her first.

She walked into the house, moving her way past her mom without saying anything. Kagome dried her tears and put on her emotionless mask again, not even her eyes betraying what she was feeling.

She looked at the man lounging on the couch and he didn't even look up.

Kagome walked into the kitchen and dropped her bag on the chair. She opened her bag and took out the fifteen jewel shards that were fused together on a chain.

Her mother sat down in the chair opposite of her, Kagome put the chain around her neck, feeling more at ease now that she knew the jewel was close to her.

Kagome put her bag close to her chest and tucked it under her chin.

Her mother had an apologetic look on her face. "I'm so sor-"

"Save it." Kagome said coldly, cutting her mom off.

Her mother looked back at her with an expression of pain and confusion as Kagome gave her a glare.

"I'm so sor-"

"Save it." Kagome said with more force and glaring harder.

Her mom leaned back in her seat.

'I don't want to cry anymore, I won't cry no matter what. I'll change the sorrow into anger. Anger is much easier to deal with.'

"Where's Gramps and Souta?" Kagome asked. Her mother's expression changed. It no longer held confusion and it held a more pained look than before.

Her mother started to cry as she held her face in her hands.

"He-he-he's dead!" She wailed from her hands. Kagome frowned and said simply, "How?"

"Old age!" Her mom wailed louder, still crying. "Th-that's why we-e had to m-move, we didn't have enough money to stay here after we gave him a proper burial. That's why I had to marry that horrible man! I tried to stop him, I promise!"

Kagome's eyes narrow, "Stop what?" Her mother looked up at Kagome and said, "He sent Souta to America to study!"

Kagome felt anger flare in her. 'How dare he, he has no rights. Souta is only in middle school! How will he take care of himself?'

"Did he make you move too?" Kagome said, her voice full of anger, she knew her mom was going to say yes.

Her mom just nodded her head. "Move back to the shrine." Kagome said forcibly.

"I can't, he won't let me. I tried to tell him that I needed to stay there for your return, but he said no." Kagome liked this man less and less.

"I still need the well." She said to her mom who was now drying her face.

"But I don't have money! I don't have money to buy the shrine back."

"Get a job, save money." Kagome said; did her mother rely on this man so much?

"K-kagome, don't leave me too." Her mother said fearfully, her eyes tearing up.

"I'm going back to Sengoku Jidai tomorrow." Kagome said, not wanting to change her mind.

"Please stay, stay for at least a week or two. Please?" her mom asked. "You left some shards here. Before the time you stayed for a year in Sengoku Jidai. When you came back and forth, you left some."

'I forgot I left some here before I shattered the jewel again.' Kagome thought as her eyes widen slightly.

"Where is it?" she asked her mom. Slowly, her mom got up and headed upstairs.

This room looked like her old room, except it was bigger and had a TV. and a computer added to it. Also, there was a new bed, and a new desk.

Kagome looked around her room while her mom went to the desk. She pulled the drawer out and took out a jar of shards.

"I kept it, I knew it was important." Kagome took it wordlessly, not bothering to say 'thank you.' They shouldn't be dumping her stuff anyways.

Her mother left the room. Kagome took her bag to the bed. She stood near the edge and dumped her bag out. Her bag was a mess; it had lots of trash.

'Hm, empty bottles, dirty clothes, used bandages, empty ramen cups, no matches, no lighters, no food, no. . . What's this?' She lifted out a fine silver chain that had a silver heart locket on the end.

'Very pretty, I wonder where I got it.' Kagome thought as she got clean clothes out of the drawer and closet. She walked over to the bathroom that was connected to her room. She turned on the water to fill the tub.

'I remember! We were passing through a sakura grove somewhere in the Western Lands. We camped there for the night after InuYasha had agreed to do so. InuYasha said he smelled his brother's stench all over the place but he left a few days ago. The chain was there, under the biggest, oldest tree there.'

Kagome walked out of the bathroom, dumped the trash in the garbage, and walked into the kitchen with her bag.

She opened the cupboard and stepped back to look at what they had.

'Hm, ramen, chips, curry, bread, cereal, rice. . .' Kagome got out some ramen, curry, and bread.

She went back upstairs to her room and put her bag on the bed.

She got the clothes that she put on the bed and stuffed it in her bag.

She got another set of clothes and a towel to take a bath. Kagome took of all her clothes and got into the tub after taking off the chain with the jewel.

She sat in the tub for a while, while she fingered the locket and looked at its intricate designs. Kagome wondered how someone of Sengoku Jidai could make something so beautiful when the people of her time couldn't make something as great as this. 'Maybe a demon made it.'

'The next time they saw Sesshomaru he looked almost anxious. Maybe he had lost the locket. He was probably looking for it. But, when he turned toward me, he relaxed a bit and I swear I saw him give a small microscopic smile. He probably smelled the silver chain around my neck. But why did he leave it with me then? Whatever, but I still can't get it open!'

Kagome started washing her hair and body. 'It's very beautiful, just like Sesshomaru.' She thought before she caught herself. 'Did I just think he's beautiful? OMG I did! That's so weird.'

"He is kinda hot," she said aloud. 'I shouldn't be saying or thinking these things.' She thought to herself.

'It's not so bad, yeah' a voice said from the back of her mind. 'You're slowly falling for him, besides; you're just stating the facts.' The voice said.

'Who are you?' Kagome thought.

'I'm your conscience baka (Stupid/idiot)!' her conscience said in an irritated tone of voice, Kagome could just see her conscience rolling her eyes.

'Okay whatever!' she thought back.

'What, you don't believe me, yeah?'

'Of course I believe you'

'You're using sarcasm, yeah!'(A/N: Ooooh, just like Deidara, from Naruto, he always says 'Yeah' at the end of his sentences.)

'I wasn't'

'You were, yeah. Let's go back to Sengoku Jidai so we can see Sesshomaru-sama!'

'Since when do you call him "Sesshomaru-sama"?'

'Since now, yeah.'

'Whatever and stop using 'yeah' at the end of your sentences, it's annoying.'

'Whatever, I know of a person who always uses 'yeah' at the ends of his sentences.'

'Oh yeah? Who?'

'See!'

'What?'

'You're catching the 'yeah-syndrome', yeah.'

'What the fuck? Stop saying 'yeah' and what is the 'yeah-syndrome?'

'Don't say swear words Kagome-chan, it's bad for you. Besides, it's a habit for me to use 'yeah' at the end of my sentence.'

'Whatever, and who was that person that you know that uses 'yeah' at the end of his sentences? I don't know anyone who does that.'

'Oh yeah? Well, it's me to know and you to find out.'

'Tell me!'

'No, and you know that Anita girl?'

'Yeah, Anita Uchiha?'

'Yup, her! I'm positive that she is weird!'

'Where did that come from? That was so random.'

'I don't know, but she isn't from here.'

'Yeah, I know, she's from Konoha.'

'No, that's not it, she's different. Do you remember the way she acted when she first saw a car?'

'Yeah, she got all freaked out and she got into a weird stance, like a fighting stance.'

'Exactly! It's like she never saw one before, and didn't she say where she came from there wasn't any cars?'

'Yes, she did, but she knows stuff about refrigerators and TV's. That stuff was invented after cars.'

'Yeah, don't you think it's weird?'

'Of course I do, now that you mention it.'

'And, don't you sense that strong aura coming from her?'

'Yeah, but it's not demonic or of a miko's.'

'What if...No, that is impossible.'

'What?'

'What if, where she is from, it's like a different time or something? Like Sengoku Jidai. Except her place is a mix from the two times that we are familiar with?'

'What? But that's just weird. To think that she is from a different time.'

'I know, but think it over.' And her conscience stopped talking, allowing Kagome to finish her bath.

Kagome got out of the tub and put on her clothes after drying herself with the towel.

She put the chain with the shards around her neck. She looked at the locket and finally decided to wear it. Kagome shivered as the cold locket slid in between her breasts, touching her skin.

She sat down at the kitchen table as her mother and the man sat down. She didn't want to call that man her father.

Her mother set the food down and they ate silently. "May I please be excused?" She asked her mom, not wanting to be near this man longer than necessary.

"Of course, dear." Her mother said.

Kagome immediately left the kitchen to go to her room. In there, she went to sleep.

For those who don't know about Naruto, there are different rankings for the ninjas. The lowest is Genin; the next is Chuunin, after that is Jounin, ANBU, and the Hokage. There is a school you go to become a Genin, and then you take tests to level up in ranking.

And in Konoha, or the Shinobi lands, (that's the main place, Konoha is just one country there.) they have refrigerators and TV's. But they don't have cars or guns like that. So it is a cross between old times and new times.

If you don't understand, go watch Naruto on YouTube or something, or read the manga. You might understand it better.

A/N: Yay, a new chapter is done!

For those who have reviewed, thank you all!
