Title: Raiton Kage

Disclaimer: I own nothing…but the plot.

Summery: Kagome never met her father, but what if that was because he was from a different world, from the Naruto Universe. What if Kagome's father was the Konoha White Fang?

Warnings: Naruto x-over, and careful folks, I'm known for throwing some SLASH into the mix

Parings: Most likely Sess/Kags, and Itachi pared up with another male, not sure who yet, if you have any ideas, please share them. Kakashi/Iruka, Maybe Sasuke/Naruto (not sure yet) Lee/Sakura (I think it's cute)

Spoilers: If you aren't up to date (I am to Sasuke going to get the eight tailed demon) then go Google 'Naruto Manga Returns'

Key:

"Talking"

'Thoughts'

A/n: PLEASE READ THIS A/N!! Alright, I made another mistake. I said Itachi was sixteen, even though he was 11 when he appeared in Kagome's world, and it has been seven years…so here:

Kagome- 26

Itachi- 18

Shippo- 17 (he ages slower, so he looks about 15)

Rin -16

Sango- 31(assuming she is in her early twenties in the true story line)

Miroku- 34 (ditto)

Sesshomaru – looks around 30

InuYahsa- looks around 25ish

And also, YES Itachi and Kagome are going to go to the Hidden Countries (this chapter in fact), people keep asking me this even though I could have sworn I said that they would in one of my ending notes. They are going to appear back during the Chunin exams. Not sure when, but around that time.

Now on for the real reason you are on this page. (This is the second version mind you, the first was just not cooperating with me, and so I tried a whole new tactic)

Chapter: Shinobi of the West

The Inu Hanyou was not sure when the battle had started, but he assumed it had taken off in the middle of the night when Kagome, Shippo and Itachi had silently joined their small pack like group. He only remembers the hordes of demons overtaking their small campground, ready to kill.

But he was ready to fight, just like everyone else in the group. They never got any true sleep these days, and probably hadn't for years unless they were stationed at the Western Palace. So as claws saw to shred them apart, their owner found death swiftly. Even if four members of their pack were human, the demons still soon piled up on the ground. Threes were soon uprooted to create more space to battle; the ground was soon soaked in blood, so much blood.

It clouded his senses, and only through years of experience was he able to block out the metallic and rotten smell. He was just happy it didn't belong to anyone in his pack or at least in the fact that it was so minute that he couldn't pick it up above the other scents.

InuYahsa was also unsure when this particular battle grew in magnitude for there to not just be hordes of idiotic demons, but also for Naraku's incarnations to start appearing, and then even the bastard himself.

That's when Kagome had sent Itachi off to get back up in the form of Sesshomaru and his army, disappearing in a puff of smoke that was slashed at in his place. The eighteen year old had yet to appear again, but InuYasha could feel his brother's power in the wind. And most of all, he felt his mate's youkai. He had been happily mated for the last ten years now, to someone who helped him see past his blood, and his love of the past.

Hato is a healer at the western palace and they had first met after a not-so-gentle lesson in to dojo. She had patched him up and reassured him that he was perfect the way he was. She had become a part of the pack, and the reason InuYasha no longer had to subduing spell over him. He still wore the beads however. A reminder of his and Kagome's friendship and the times they had been through together.

It is his mating to Hato that now keeps his youkai blood in check, so their advancing helped him focus on battle, slashing out with not only his claws but his katana. He no longer used his father's fang unless with large attacks. The smaller blade is very deadly in his clawed hands after years of training from Sesshomaru after he took his rightful place as a Western lord under his brother. Far more foes fell in his swift and speedy attacks with less effort than wielding the fang at his hip.

He danced with death as he was taught, blood daring not to touch his form of deadly beauty and grace as the sickening liquid splattered across the battle grounds.

The Inu only paused in his on slot when an unidentifiable demon's head suddenly when rolling and he could feel his mate as the culprit. His amber eyes found her glowing blue and he shared a quick kiss with his kitsune mate before the battle overtook the moment. They fought side by side; keeping an eye on each other should the other need their help.

No one spoke, as it wasn't needed. Everyone in the west had been training for this for the last seven years and had lived and breathed in the aspects of how they would fight it; they needed no verbal instructions, only nods of encouragement and swift help.

Everyone fought as if in a dance, weaving in and out of their foe with the habit of leaving all those around them dead in the ground. Above all the screams of pain and sickly sound of blades clearing flesh, everyone could easily pick out Kagome's electrifying attacks in the air as her pure chakra would shot all who opposed her and left all as ashes, her hands glowed with her power.

Somewhere along the way her cloak had disappeared into the fray of mangled bodies. And so had Itachi's as he fought along side his adopted sister, using his katana and jutsu and the rare throwing blade, those were for when the true battle started, just as they all knew it would begin as their foe's numbers decrease with every passing second. Over the years, as they grew closer, Itachi and Kagome would never be seen fighting without the other, their combined dances of death winning them many a battle and the feared title as the Shinobi of the West. Where one is weak, the other excels.

Sango and Miroku also teamed up, their love for the other not allowing them to let the other out of their sites. The monk no longer used the wind tunnel in his palm, as Kagome had found a sealing jutsu among her father's scrolls to hide it away and never harm Miroku again. Instead he is using his holy energy, which had intensified with the sealing of the wind tunnel. His staff glows purple softly with his eyes.

Sango and Kirara danced in the air above him, taking out great numbers of the horde with just a boomerang and flame attacks Kirara had developed over the years. The neko's flames would mirror her form and ride along her master's weapon, incinerating anything it touched into ashes and charred flesh.

As do Shippo's attacks.

Shippo had finished his training so far under Sesshomaru, and should Sesshomaru and InuYasha parish in this great battle…he was the heir to the Western Lands. This always had Kagome worried, but she knew her son could handle such a position; he has the strength and the knowledge to be a great Taiyoukai. And he is accepted by most of the western palace's population.

And many a member of that population that didn't like who their lord named heir had met a very unsightly death at the claws of the fire fox demon. Shippo, Kagome had witnessed, could be a very heartless killer should he need to be. It terrified her as a mother, and yet it thrilled her as a Shinobi. She could now see Shippo's dance with death as he gracefully fought with his dagger and flames, it was beautiful to watch, if you weren't on the wrong side of the battle field.

None of them would ever remember when the final battle truly began, but the blood and gore that surrounded them would never be forgotten, nor would the screech of Naraku as he was turned into dust hours later.

Everyone was tired, quickly draining of energy with wounds to show for the sluggishness that came with their increasing incapability to continue fighting with the vigor they had started with. But no one was giving up until their gathered foe died at their blades or claws.

Or Kagome's purification.

And it was the last bit of that energy that swept over the battle field when she decided she had had enough and her energy over took her, killing anything that threatened her family and friends. Naraku fought the biggest force of her energy, and was loosing an internal battle as the presence of his demonic energy brought him to his knees. A screech left his mouth as the purification breached his skin and reeked havoc on his blood and body, killing him slowly. A death they had all envisioned for him, slow and ungodly painful.

No one knew when it ended, or when the jewel was finally made whole again in Kagome's hands.

But everyone will remember when Kagome and her ward disappeared in flashes of light, because all of them could feel the loss of their energy, some more then others. Cries of sadness overcame the victory years in the making.

!!!!

"I see a trend forming."

Kagome cracked open her eyes at the deeply sarcastic voice of Itachi. She lies on her back, with no great urge to move and dislodge her aching joints. Her tired grey eyes looked over at black that mirror the feeling, "Oh, and what is that?"

He tried to smirk at her, but failed as it hurt to even do that, it is amazing they could even talk, "Well, I could have sworn the last time I did a world jump I was in a major battle as well."

Kagome gave a half hearted laugh, as was expected from her by her brother. She is forced to closed her eyes in pain as her attempt sent shock waves of pain through the back of her head, "Really? Maybe next time the light will heal us while it is forcing us through time and space…"

"I hope not."

They stopped talking, staring off into the tall trees above them; she didn't need him to clarify what he hoped wouldn't happen again. In his home world they had landed but a few feet from each other, feeling like ants with the size of the tree roots they lay in between. They dare not let themselves fall asleep, even if that is all they want to do after fight hordes of demons for hours on end. Their bodies ached with pain, and cuts –small or large- litter their bodies; even the most trained shinobi couldn't have come out of that battle without a scratch.

They also ached because their chakra is riding on very low levels, Kagome's lower than Itachi's after she sent out the blast to kill Naraku; they didn't even have enough to heal themselves. So they just lay there, until Kagome decided the quiet of the darkness around her isn't really what she wants at the moment, "Well, do you know where we are Tachi?"

Her whisper was not hearable to every or anything but Itachi and he looked at her again with sad onyx eyes before speaking, "I have my ideas and I never thought I would say this….but Kami I pray we are in the Forest of Death and not some other over grown forest…"

She blinked at him, a little shocked, "The Forest of Death? The place where the second exam of the chunin exams are held? Doesn't look that bad…"

He found himself with the urge to laugh, but didn't, "Of course it isn't at that terrifying to you, you've been fighting demons for the last decade, Gome-chan."

She huffed and closed her eyes in a pout, and silence over came them again as the moment died. It was nearly a half hour later when Kagome spoke again, "Is it possible anyone can find us out here?"

"ANBU most likely, they are the only ones that patrol the Forest of Death." His voice was soft, no longer dry from his lack of energy as they were slowly recovering with time.

Kagome couldn't decide if that was good or bad thing, what with Itachi's 'history' in this world, and the fact that he is tectonically a missing Nin, and she knows too many secrets of the leaf Nin, and isn't officially a shinobi of the village. She decided to voice her concern, "Are we all too sure this is a good thing?"

"We will be interrogated no doubt; hopefully they will believe our farfetched tale." His voice had taken on an emotionless feel to it, only through years of knowing him could Kagome catch his uneasiness.

After a moment she replied, "Are we going to tell them everything, Tachi?"

"Yes, we have to if we want their trust." There is one thing Kagome knew better than most; he is deeply loyal to the people who he cares about. And Itachi cared for three things above all else: his younger brother Sasuke, her, and his village.

'Our village', she mentally corrected herself. If Itachi swears to protect something, so will Kagome. If they cast him out, she would fallow, if they wished to kill him, she would defend him till her last breath…even if it means she becomes an enemy to the older brother she never got to know.

Grunting in slight pain Kagome moved her hand towards her pouch, wanting to see her brother's young face again. With great effort she pulled the two old photos to her face and tears threatened to fall. Never again would she see her mother, never again would she see her adopted family. Never…

Her eyes traced the faces in the old photos, as did Itachi's. He has seen the photos before, but never before had they affected him like they did now. They both knew if all else failed, Kagome had an ace up her sleeve. She is a Hatake, and she has a photo of her parents to prove it.

It is as they look upon the two photos that they started to feel company in the trees above them. In their tired dazes neither of them could pinpoint where the other shinobi are, but there was no doubt in their mind that they were no longer alone.

They tensed and Kagome held the photos close to her chest, only to wince as that quick motion open a few of her wounds. She moaned in pain, closing her eyes and shivering. She could feel Itachi's worry next to her and felt his hand brush against her arm, "Are you okay Gome-chan?"

Against her better judgment Kagome decided to sit up. She ignored the surprised sound Itachi made in his throat; her mood caught up with her. Damn them for just watching and not helping them, "No, I'm not." What she said next was less for Itachi's benefit than it was for their audience's, "We just left a battle to the death with barely the skin on our back. Hell no I am not alright."

"Gome-chan…"

It was a lowly spoken warning. He knew what their audience was capable of a hell of a lot better than Kagome does, but she wouldn't have it. She is cranky and aching all over, "No Itachi," she felt the auras above them spike in recognition at that, "I'm tired, grumpy and feel like I was just ran over by a train. I have a Kami given right to complain when someone finally finds us and decides to just watch."

More shock.

Itachi sighs in resignation and forces himself to sit up as well, with great effort, but is too prideful to show his discomfort besides the pain in his eyes. Moments later they are surrounded by five members of ANBU.

Kagome and Itachi froze, no amount of mentally bribing would gave prepared them for when the moment to confront a leaf Nin when it finally came. Itachi grew emotionless, his eyes set on the drawn blades. Kagome glared and huffed, "It's about damn time…"

One of the ANBU, most likely the leader wearing a bird-like mask, stepped towards her. She could tell that they are ready to fight at a moments notice and she finds herself mentally snorting, 'As if we could fight, even if we want to.'

"Who are you?" His voice –a he from the low tone- demands an answer, but Kagome's mood comes into play and her glare hardens. It is her shinobi instincts alone that keep her from snapping her retort at the other shinobi.

She decides she will answer with the truth, damn them if they don't want to believe her.

"Hatake Kagome."

A collective gasp, which would not have been heard by a civilian, comes from the group of ANBU and she could feel Itachi tense next to her. He is ready to fight should they need to.

"Impossible, there is only on Hatake left, and he is male."

"And my brother," She holds up the photos, which had yet to leave her hands.

They are snapped from her hand and examined; she hadn't even seen the ANBU captain move and is forced to hold back her shock. After a few moments the ANBU captain puts the photos in his scroll pouch and it is all Kagome can do not to snap at him for not returning them.

"Uchiha Itachi." The captain had finally turned his attention to Kagome's adopted brother, who just looked back emotionlessly though Kagome caught a look of recognition cross over those eyes. "You dare return after seven years as if you had never left?"

Kagome guesses that they are referring to his ANBU uniform and un-marred hitai-ate. Itachi only looks away, unsure what to say; so Kagome rises to his defense, "Itachi and I have been through so much that we need to explain to the Hokage about. He did not leave of his own free will."

They seemed to consider this and Kagome silently prays to anyone above that they don't just kill them.

Seconds later they are both knocked out.

!!!!

She's gone.

That is all that registered to him; her sweet, tantalizing scent, her calming energy….her smile.

Gone, all of her, even her presence…is gone.

Somewhere next to him a straggled shout of her name is called, fallowed by many more, but all he can do is stand and stare where she and her ward had been seconds before. His gaze had never left her form as she fought, ready to defend her at a moments notice. Even if he knew she didn't need it.

Until a bright light had blinded him, forcing him to look away…it had stolen her from him.

He knew she didn't know; in all truth, he isn't sure if he really knew. But at that point, he knew, without a doubt that she had been his life. The only one that opened him up and makes him feel his own emotions again.

And now she is gone.

For the first time in his life, he fell to his knees. Emotion lifted tears to his eyes, drowning him in sorrow. A howl left his lips, shocking everyone around him. But he didn't care as his form hunched over and shook with hurt, even if it was not physical.

She's gone, his Kagome…she is gone.

!!!!

A rhythmic beeping sound filled her ears, fallowed by the scent of anti-bacterial that couldn't overcome the smell of sickness. She knew where she was without really having to think about it.

A hospital.

But it took her dazed mind a long time to figure out why she is indeed in a hospital. After all, they don't exist in the feudal era, or the technology the beeping sound was coming from. Slowly she remembers leaving her family with teary good-byes, meeting up with Itachi and Shippo, then with the rest of the pack…and then.

The Final battle.

The rhythm of the beeping sound that had been steady before, raced in pace and try as she might, she could not calm herself or her franticly racing pulse. It had finally come; the fight for their lives they had always knew would be coming, but never truly were prepared for. She remembered fighting next to Itachi, both watching the other's back and killing as swiftly as possible, even as they grew tired.

The blood and gore of the demons didn't really disgust her like they used to, but still she retched over the side of the bed into a waist basket that was conveniently sitting there. Her friends and family, she would never see them again, and now the tears fell down her face.

She only had Itachi now, but as she searched for his aura and found it missing, she was over taken by emotion. She really didn't notice as many figures rushed into the room she had been put into.

She didn't notice as they asked her questions of her health or how she was feeling, or as they injected her with a liquid that sped through her veins like a fire through a dry forest drenched in gasoline.

And then the blessed darkness overcame her and she slept.

!!!!

The Sandaime sighed to himself mentally and racked his gaze over the report before him for what seemed like the millionth time that day. They had found Uchiha Itachi, alive and very well…looking like he had never left the village to begin with. As if he hadn't slaughtered his entire clan. He still wore his hitai-ate, unmarred in anyway, the symbol of Konoha still in tack, even if it is no longer worn on the customary dark blue and instead over blood red. This didn't shock him, as many chose to do that.

The Uchiha also wore his AMBU uniform, if not a little mortified to better fit his personality and personal use. His mask was no where to be found however…

That alone had the wizened man thinking. As the Hokage Sarutobi was always forced to look under the under, and something was amiss with this Itachi that ANBU had stumbled upon in the Forest of Death. As soon as the young man wakes Sarutobi was going to have him interrogated, all information would be classed as S-ranked. But as the young man is suffering from what looks like extreme chakra drainage, he knew that would take a while.

With the Chunin Exams on the horizon he hoped nothing dire would happen…they really didn't need young Sasuke to be distracted…

And Itachi's companion, a female that showed evidence of being a fully trained Shinobi, but bared no hitai-ate, only a blue crescent moon on the back of her clothes, a symbol that had also been present on Itachi's altered ANBU uniform. She also wore the red swirls of the Konoha Jounin on her shoulders, which showed that she was somehow connected with his village.

The name she and given was also connected to Konoha; deeply so.

Hatake Kagome...that is what she had called herself. But for the life of him, Sarutobi could not think of Hatake Sakumo having other children besides Kakashi. And yet again she had stubbed them, having pictures of the White Fang with a woman that deeply resembled her, and that of a very young Kakashi. And while he had not seen it himself, but the ANBU –one that had been on a team under the Copy nin- had shared the resemblance of her grey eyes to that of Kakashi's with him.

Something odd was happening, and his instincts told him not to worry. Why, he was clueless about. Something told him that these two people, one who wasn't suppose to be in Konoha and another that shouldn't exist, would help him and his village somehow.

A puff of smoke erupted in front of his desk and the old shinobi looked up and raised an eye brow up at the crow masked ANBU in front of him as the figure bowed.

He leaned back in his chair, "Report."

The ANBU stood strait, "We were unable to find how they got in the Forest of Death without detection, sir. With how low their chakra levels were it is impossible to find a trail, and the Nin dogs aren't having in any luck. It is as if they appeared out of thin air Hokage-sama."

The older man chewed on the end of the pipe in thought before responding, "Has either of them woken up?"

A nod, "The female has woken once, she had to be subdued however, for her own safety. She and grown frantic after vomiting. She held no control over her chakra or her emotions."

Sarutobi frowned at that and leaned back to look out the window behind him. Silence filled to room before he once again spoke, "It is reported that their bodies showed signs of being through rigorous battle, have they healed?"

"Yes Hokage-sama. The female faster than Weasel, but both are fully healed and their chakra levels are returning to their norm."

The Sandaime frowned at the use of Itachi's ANBU code name. He knew that the ANBU before him, the captain of the group that had found the two in the forest, had once worked under the Uchiha's lead. "Why do you use his code name, Crow?"

The man seemed to freeze before seeming to find his courage and softly spoke, "May I speak freely, Hokage-sama?"

The question wasn't really processed before he got an answer, "You may."

Another silent pause, before Crow finally spoke up, "Sir, the Uchiha Itachi we found…he feels too much like the one I once knew to have been through what we know he had been through. His eyes are haunted, yes…but even as he guards his emotions…he has them."

Sarutobi waiting for the man to speak again, trying to understand what is being said.

"He didn't even have his Sharingan activated, and being a missing Nin, wouldn't he have that activated at all times, even on the verge of chakra depletion…? I just can't believe this is the same Weasel in the Bingo book…"

At the conclusion the older man frowned and slowly spoke, "Something is off, I know that. But we won't know much until they have been interrogated. Let us all pray the counsel doesn't catch wind of this…"

They both flinched at the thought and silence over took them again. They really didn't want to find out what the council would do if they catch wind of Uchiha Itachi and another Hatake currently healing in a restricted section of the hospital.

After a moment the Sandaime spoke again, "Inform me if either of them wakes, immediately."

A nod and acceptance of dismissal and the AMBU is left to him to think.

b

!!!!

When Kagome woke again, she was in a much better state. She and resigned to live the new life presented to her in the fullest, no matter where it took her…no matter how much she wanted to be in Sesshomaru's presence again.

She never really remembers when her feeling for the Taiyoukai came to light. For all she knew it was only seconds ago, in her dreams.

Kagome suddenly pushes those thoughts away, looking around her surroundings. She makes out a normal hospital room, painted to the brim in a white that makes her want to gouge her eyes out. There are no windows, not that she had been expecting any. They didn't want her to escape, and they didn't want her to be discovered.

She wonders where Itachi was taken, and as he is not in her room she starts to worry. This time she remains calm as she sits up, pulling tubes and other bothersome things from her arms. She is worried as to why she can not sense her adopted brother, but forces herself to remain calm for his sake. Unfortunately fate has other plans.

"Don't do that, other wise the medical Nin will have a fit."

She jumped…probably five feet in the air in shock, and with a much undignified yelp. She also happened to jump high enough to mange to start slipping on the bed. She was able to catch herself just before her face connected with the tiled floor. Her heart was racing and if it had been years before she would be blushing in embarrassment….

But not this time, at her current age, no. She turned smoldering grey eyes as her company with intent to kill hazing around her.

Two figures stood before her, both in black cloaks and an ANBU mask, one an owl, the other a lion. They were both shaking with mirth, and didn't offer her any help. So she stood on her own and was before the owl masked one in seconds, poking him in the chest with a growl.

They were too shocked by her speed to do anything as she glared at them.

"What the hell!? You almost gave me a heart attack and as I almost kiss the floor you don't even bother to help me!?" She could swear they both ANBU were blinking at her in shock, and then the door suddenly opened.

And Kagome felt a draft hit her bum…her very naked bum.

Once again she shrieked, and her face did turn red with embarrassment. She jumped back to the other side of her bed, using both of her hands to cover her exposed bum, ignoring how the shrill sound hurt her 'company's' ears, or even hers for that matter.

Time seemed to stand still as she stared at them, and they stared at her. But finally the moment was broken and one of the newcomers spoke up. She instantly recognizes the Hokage robe he wears and is hard pressed to not blush even deeper at having reacted so in his presence.

"You are right Crow; her eyes are very much like Kakashi's"

She froze, embarrassment forgotten for the moment; how could she have forgotten about her brother? The reason she wished so many times to come to this world.

"Kakashi?"

She had voiced his name, barely above a whisper, yet the three ANBU members and the Kage as still heard her and the old man, face covered with liver spots, nodded.

He spoke next, at a volume just above where hers had been, "Kagome, right?"

She nodded unsure what else to do, "Hai…"

The man and his escort took another step into the room and the door was shut, making Kagome feel like a trapped animal. He spoke calmly, as if noticing her feeling, "I am The Sandaime, Sarutobi. Have you heard of me?"

She mutely nodded her head, but did not speak.

So he continued, "We much admit, we are hard-pressed to not believe the clan name you gave us belongs to you." She was getting ready to interrupt, or would have if she could find her voice, "But the photos you had on you, and your eyes tells us differently, so…please tell us how you are related to Kakashi and his father?"

She realized she couldn't do this, not without Itachi with her. He knew this world much better than her, and being in the unknown frightened her, even if she hid it a hell of a lot better than she would have eleven years ago. She tried to calm her self and look the man in the eyes, tried to convey her feeling to him before she spoke, "Where is Itachi-kun?"

He went to speak, but a sudden burst of courage made her interrupt him and speak, "I will not tell you anything without him present. It concerns him as much as it concerns me."

The man stayed calm, even in the face of her demands, "Uchiha Itachi is in the room over, healing, and has not yet woken up. How long have you known him?"

"Seven years." She felt a little safer, knowing he was close, but she still worried, "Hokage-sama?"

He looked to be getting over how long she had known him, but she was glad he held off on any more questions, "Yes Kagome?"

He used her given name, she guessed because he felt unsure about her clan name, but she didn't much care. She bit her lip, "Um…first, can I have some clothes?"

He pointed to a table next to her, where her cloths sat, completely clean and mended back together, minus her weapons which is understandable given the situation. She blushes at having not noticed it before. She turned questioning eyes to the gathered and watched as all but the lion, no a lioness, turned around. The only other female present stepped forward and offered with her hand to help Kagome get dressed.

The miko nodded and smiled a little in thanks. She dressed quickly with the help and the conversation continued as the males turned back around. Kagome sat on the edge of her bed and finished securing her boots when the Hokage spoke again, "And secondly Kagome?"

She bit her lip, unsure of her boldness, but finally decided to give it a try, "May I see him? Maybe I can figure out why he hasn't woken up yet. Usually he would be awake by now…"

!!!!

Sarutobi looked her over, searching for any untrustworthy in her body language. He estimated her age at around 25ish which didn't really shock him with the age the white Fang had died at. She is at least four years younger than her brother.

He sees nothing untrustworthy in her grey eyes, only worry. Besides the way she had acted when he had entered, her movement and actions told him she is indeed a trained Shinobi. He chewed on his pipe for a moment, forever grateful that team Seven just happens to be out on a mission at the current time. If not because of Sasuke's predictable reaction to his brother, but Kakashi's reaction to someone posing at his younger sister.

Deciding to learn more about the young kunoichi before him asks a question instead of giving an answer, "Are you a Medical Nin?"

She bit her lip, "Sorta…all I know I know from scrolls. I don't have any formal training besides what Itachi himself taught me after we met and gained each other's trust…"

He is shocked, and decided to push on to how much he can get out of her, "What did you train by before meeting Uchiha-san?"

She looked to his eyes for a moment, and then to the ground, but he felt no lie in her answer, "I learned through the scrolls my father left behind for me in the hands of my mother."

The pipe in his mouth moved as he thought of her answers, while they gave him information, it was very little information. He got the feeling she wouldn't open up unless Itachi was present so he decided he would take her to him and wait for his answers. He raised his hand and signaled to the present ANBU, both visible and those hiding in the shadows.

He turned to the door, "Come with me Kagome."

!!!!

She kept on her toes as she was let into Itachi's room, but lost herself at the site of him lying on the bed. He is bond to it and it irks her, even if she understands why. Fighting the urge to undo the bounds she moves forward, glancing at the Hokage for permission. Getting it with a nod she goes to her brother's side, frowning.

She raises her hands and ignores how the ANBU tense as she signs and pulls forward her green healing chakra, tinted only a little with pink, barely enough to be noticed. She runs her hands over his sleeping form, checking for any wounds, or why he had not yet woken up.

Finding nothing she frowns and leans back. But she feels his aura spike a little and kills a sigh of relief as it rises in her throat. So he is playing with then is he?

She takes a step back and glares at him.

"Did you find something wrong Kagome?"

She looked over at the elderly man and her glare disappeared and instead formed a frown, "Oh, he's alright. And if he doesn't stop playing 'dead' I'll give him a reason to."

She got looks of shock, well, from the Hokage that is; she just felt it in the auras of the ANBU, even the ones she couldn't see. Yeah, she knew they were there. They could hide from a shinobi, but not a miko. The Hokage was getting ready to ask her what she meant when a soft voice spoke up, interrupting him.

"Gee, thanks Gome…"
