Title: Taiyo no Miko – Priestress of the Sun

Summary:

Kagome's journey in Sengoku Jidai came to an End and when she returned to her own time for good, it was to find out that her adventure apparently never happened because the calendar showed she was back to the day of her 15th birthday. Deciding that she didn't want to live her life as if nothing happened, the Miko decided on a new start which brought her to where she was now; ready to begin her new step in life. Higurashi Kagome and legendary Shikon no Miko stood in front of her very own house in Namimori Town and would be attending Namimori Middle School, in fact knowing that there was a tiny figure hidden in the shadows wearing a yellow pacifier watching her. A new start indeed and maybe also the start of a new adventure…

Pairing: Kagome x Reborn

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Katekyo Hitman Reborn but I do the story plot.

A/N: The Ring Conflict will just have ended when Kagome enters Namimori Middle School. Tsuna will be the age of fourteen and even though Kagome is back to being fifteen will be attending the same class as Tsuna since she just turned 15 recently and I want them to be close.

I would like to thank Shi Kami the Traitorous Knight, Usagi-chin and silverfoxkurama for their reviews!

Yes, Kagome is a fox and not an Inu because I wanted her to be one. And while I know that some things don't make sense right now, they do later. That was just the first chapter so there is no need for every little detail. And even when things don't make sense than that's fine with me because this is fanfiction and here apply the rules of my mind. In the first place I wrote the story for myself, because there was none like mine and it is for my enjoyment. If others like it as well then that's great and I'll feel happy about it, but if they don't than that's fine as well.

Well, now that that is over with, let's start chapter 2:

…to know that he knew…

It had been a few hours since their initial meeting and lunch time was already over, so school would end soon. Knowing that, Kagome cleared the couch table and placed the used dishes in the sink to be cleaned later. She emerged the kitchen a minute later and went to put on her black combat boots, grabbed her purse and left the house. Once the front door was locked securely her new friend jumped into her arms and the miko happily complied.

After Kagome had finished recounting her life story to the tiny hitman, there had been a momentary silence, both parties in their own thoughts. For Reborn it was to adjust to all the recent information he had been given and for Kagome it was to get her bearings after remembering her time in the feudal era. When both were done musing, they had found it was already time for lunch so the raven haired girl had prepared something small for the both of them and while they ate had shared some light conversation, both curious to learn more about the other. It was also decided that the infant would tell his own life story that evening.

Back under her glamour, Kagome hummed a soft tune, already looking forward to meet her dear cousin again.

Other than the miko's singing the two of them walked in companionable silence, though she stopped humming when she saw that they were nearing the school gate and smiled in anticipation. Her smile only widened when the girl saw who stood beside that.

"Kyo-kun!"

Immediately a pair of steely grey eyes found hers and once they saw exactly who dared to call him so familiarly, his eyes widened minimally in surprise; it would have went unnoticed if one would not be looking for it or were not familiar with his person. The feared prefect of Namimori was a rather stoic individual after all though not nearly at the level Sesshoumaru had been at and if she could read the facial expressions of that ice block then Kyo-kun stood no chance.

"What are you doing here Kagome?"

"Oh? No greeting? Fine, but I want a hug. Gimme a hug!" the miko whined childishly while her eyes were alight with mischief. You could clearly see the grin hiding behind her pout and Reborn smirked when he saw the prefect turn his head to the side, his cheeks suspiciously a light pink. As the pink receded Hibari chanced a glance back towards the girl and saw that she still stood with her arms wide open, waiting to be hugged. He sighed in defeat. Taking a step forward the prefect gave her the desired hug and noted her strong grip on him with interest. He would have to find out why later. Once Kagome let him free of her clutches Hibari immediately stepped back, his stoic mask back in place though the reappeared light blush betrayed his embarrassment of his public show of affection. The miko's teasing grin didn't make the situation any better.

The hitman let a snicker escape him and was abruptly on the receiving end of the boy's intent gaze. "Ciaossu Hibari."

"Akambo," he replied neutrally and shifted his eyes back to the person he stared at beforehand. "You didn't answer my question. Those who are not attending Namimori Middle School are prohibited to enter school grounds. State your reason or be bitten to death."

While it sounded like Hibari's regular threat the student's knew all too well, only a few could discern the subtly concealed gentle note in his voice and the infant was one of them. Reborn knew that it was an empty threat and mostly said because of habit and his usual speech pattern. Looking at Kagome's completely relaxed form the hitman saw that she also knew that. Instead of feeling intimidated the girl's mouth lifted into a cheeky smile.

"Can't I come visit my dearest cousin? And that rule doesn't apply to me anyway since I too am a student of Namimori Middle School, well… officially only as of tomorrow – ah, but that's just a minor detail; it doesn't really matter." The miko waved it off and grinned happily when she caught the quick flash of happiness in his gray eyes. She then let her blue gaze search her surroundings. It was then she finally realized that their small group of three was the center of attention of every student currently outside the school building. Everyone was completely silent in shock it seemed. A brow lifted in question as she stared blankly at the crowd and like a switch was flicked they all of a sudden started to whisper with each other loudly.

"Who is she?" "She talked back to Hibari…" "They hugged…!" "She wasn't bitten to death?!" "She's hot!" "…threw herself at him…" "…slut!" and so on.

Kagome rolled her eyes at the gossip. How stupid.

Turning her attention back towards her company she noticed the hitman's inquiring gaze on her. She smiled at him, waiting for the question she was sure as to come. And she was right. "So your mentioned cousin is Hibari?"

"Mh, Hibari is -"

"Kagome-chan?!"

The yell cut the miko's sentence off and she turned around to where it came from. It was a lean build brunet with brown eyes whose hair stuck wildly up in all directions and had his mouth still open from his yell. The boy had two others with him and seemed to have just exited the building. His face showed shock and surprise but then they were replaced for excitement and happiness. The brunet gave her a brilliant smile that Kagome full heartedly returned.

After Reborn heard his student shout the name of his newly acquired friend, he watched closely as the girl promptly ran up to Tsuna, threw her whole weight at him and the young mafia boss-to-be caught her effortlessly, which was surprising since he was usually so pathetically clumsy except when in Hyper Dying Will Mode.

"Tsuna! I missed you!" The miko exclaimed and kissed the brunet's cheek lightly. She giggled as he flushed in embarrassment but didn't pull away, still holding her in his arms.

"I missed you, too. What are you doing here? How long are you staying? I'm so sorry I couldn't congratulate you on your 15th birthday! There was just so much going on and –"

"Breath, Tsuna, breath," she interrupted his rant.

"Right, sorry hehe." The boy scratched behind his head of brown fluff while smiling sheepishly.

"Great! So about your questions: I changed school to yours and moved into town, which means my stay will be indefinitely. And I'm not mad at you for not congratulating me; I know you had to have your reasons and anyway you can still wish me a belated happy birthday now, can't you?"

Tsuna let out a breath at knowing she wasn't mad at him and then smiled gently. This time it was him who kissed her cheek as he did as she suggested. "I wish you a belated happy birthday, 'gome-chan." Then the rest of what she had said sunk in. "You're attending Namimori Middle School?! And you're staying here?!" the brunet exclaimed loudly.

The girl grinned in response, amused with his antics. "Yep."

The young Vongola Tenth was about to ask where in Namimori she lived now but someone was faster to speak up.

"Juudaime! Who is that onna? Is she bothering you? If so, then I, your loyal right hand man, shall proudly get rid of her!" none other than Gokudera proclaimed loudly though he shouldn't have. That was bad, not to mention stupid, Kagome thought, shaking her head lightly in exasperation but not doing anything to prevent the following situation. The oblivious silver head already had a dynamite stick in his hand and was about to lit the wick when his beloved boss' voice sounded. "Hayato, stop."

And stop he did, though the bomber wasn't the only one affected. Tsuna's other friend, the tall one, was froze up as well. The reason? The voice that issued the order, which was a surprise per se, wasn't the high pitched one they were used to from the brunet, but was a deep and rich baritone they only knew from his HDW-self and was spoken with firm authority. When the storm and rain guardian finally snapped out of their stupor they turned to see their friend's eyes narrowed seriously and a light frown on his usually soft face. Before he could say any more though, he felt Kagome tighten her grip and glanced at her. He saw her smile in reassurance and took a deep breath to calm himself. Once the young Decimo turned back to Gokudera he continued where he left off.

"Please don't disrespect or attack her Gokudera-kun, I don't like that."

The addressed silver head relaxed slightly; it was his usual Juudaime but first he had to… "I apologize Juudaime, I will refrain from doing so." He bowed his at 90 degrees and stayed like that until his boss allowed him to leave the position. Silver strands fell into his face and hid his eyes which were firmly shut. Seeing that his friend was sorry he smiled gently at the bomber. "It's alright Gokudera-kun, please stop bowing and stay straight. You're my friend right?"

"Of course Juudaime!" was happily agreed. Gokudera was back to the enthusiastic self he was around the brunet.

"Maa Tsuna, tell us who she is?"

"Ah sorry, of course Yamamoto. That's –"

"Higurashi Kagome. Nice to meet you." The two boys, the miko now knew were named Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi, both returned her introduction with one of their own. That was when the question was asked.

"What relation do the two of you share?"

"Gah! Reborn! When did you arrive?!" Tsuna exclaimed shocked. "Dame-Tsuna, I was here the whole time. It seems you need more training." The hitman smirked as something unholy shone in his dark eyes that left the brunet pale in fright, though the young Decimo was quick to forget that in light of the miko's statement. "We're dating."

Right after, countless of jaws dropped to the floor. When the crowd of students finally caught themselves, chaotic whispers, that weren't exactly whispers as they practically shouted, erupted immediately. The collective thought though seemed to be: No way! Dame-Tsuna has a hot girlfriend, the world must be ending!

Complete and utter idiots, the lot of them, thought the 'hot girlfriend' in question. She shot a quick glance towards the tiny hitman now perched on Yamamoto's shoulder and briefly met his. Yet, that was all she needed, to know that he knew. Invisible from all Kagome's fluffy raven tail swayed in response to her good mood. She was terribly amused with the situation and knew a certain infant shared her sentiment. She also knew that she had to spill the beans in two days at the latest.

She was brought out of her thoughts when the girl felt a tug on the cloth of her backside and tilted her head questioningly towards the brunet that held her. Said boy shot her an exasperated look to which she just smirked, not bothering to play innocent with him. He always could see through any façade she may want to build, so she had stopped a long time ago to try and hide things from him, not that there was anything hidden in the present situation. In return for her smirk she received a defeated sigh and a light smile, signaling that he would play along with her antic for now. Instead of thinking to say anything in retaliation Tsuna opted for the fact that it was getting late and that they should be heading home.

So that is what they did and Kagome said her goodbye to Hibari when they passed him at the gate to which he replied with a simple nod. The brunet then remembered his earlier question and asked her as they walked. "Where do I find your new place actually?"

"Oh right, I didn't say that, did I? Sorry, I live in the house one block from yours that was just vacant recently. You're free to visit whenever," the miko answered.
