"I'm talking."

'I'm thinking.'

Onto chapter two!

LET THE STORY BEGIN.

'It's been a week since I came here, and I'm not in academy yet,' Kagome thought as she looked at her surroundings. A day after she came, Fugaku had given her a room in the Uchiha mansion. It wasn't like she was ungrateful or anything, its just, her room was right across from Itachi's.

It was an average sized room, not too big, not too small. It had a simple bed, and a dresser in the corner. 'I need to make this place a bit more homey,' Kagome thought.

She went to her bag that was sitting on her bed. 'I really need to finish unpacking my stuff. I'll do it later.' She stopped what she was doing for a moment and realized, 'Great, Raizen is rubbing off on me. Lazy good-for-nothing wolf. I still need to get back at him.'

After rummaging through her leftover things for a bit, she took out a picture frame. It contained a picture of her family before they died. Her mother, father, grandparents, heck, her whole clan was in it! A single tear fell onto the frame before she set it down carefully on the dresser.

After she set it down, she decided to rummage through her bag some more. She took out what was left, some clothes and a couple of scrolls. She put them away, and decided to lie down. She fell backwards onto her bed, none to gracefully might I add. Soon, she began to doze off.

One Hour Later…

Kagome woke up to a light knocking on her door, "Come in." The door opened, and none other than Itachi walked in. "Otou-san told me to get you. Let's go."

Kagome growled out, "The least you could do is say please or something." Itachi just crossed him arms and glared at her, making her glare back. She stopped glaring when she noticed his gaze go down to her arm. She looked at the spot he was looking at, and saw the one thing she was dreading.

There, on her arm where her summoning tattoo was, a paw print appeared, and it was glowing red. Her eyes widened as she realized what was happening,' oh no, anything but the red paw print. That means only one thing, and I don't want any trouble right now,' she snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a POOF!

There, in the middle of the room, stood Raizen. He looked around before his eyes landed on both kids, "Hey you two!" he called out with a wolfish grin on his face, "I see you too are getting along just fine, " He said, completely ignoring the death glares sent his way, "Alright, who missed me?"

"Raizen, What are you doing here?! More like, how did you get here?!" Kagome yelled at the oblivious wolf.

"It's a secret. Besides, if you see the paw print glow blue, Raiden's gonna show up, and if it's red, clear the way cause I'm gonna be here to make your life more interesting," he said with a not-so-innocent look as he got bonked on the head by Kagome's pillow, making Itachi sweatdrop.

"Sheesh! It's almost like you don't want me here. I'm hurt,' he said with a light sniff, "At least I know Ita-kun missed me, right Ita-kun!" he said as he got hit with another pillow, this time, from Itachi. "You don't have to be rude. That pillow kinda hurt."

"Take your own advice wolf."

"Oh yeah, and who are you to stop me?" Raizen said as he pounced on Itachi, holding him down with his massive size. He was pretty big compared to a six year old.

"Kids! What was that noise?" Mikoto called from down the hall. All three of them realized that she was coming down the hall to investigate. The kids began to try to remove Raizen while he just smirked. 'Perfect,' he thought.

"Raizen! Get off him! His mother will get a heart attack if she sees you on him! Not to mention, you're heavy!"

"Get off me wolf," Itachi managed to growl out before Raizen simply licked his face like a giant puppy in response.

"I know that. I'll get off when I feel like it. Don't worry, she won't get a heart attack over this. Besides, no need to worry Kag-chan, I won't crush your boyfriend, " he said in his cheery voice again while

Itachi struggled to get free, and a blushing Kagome tried to push him off.

Neither of the struggling kids noticed the mischievous glint in his eye. That was when Kagome and Itachi began using their full strength in a last ditch effort to push him off. All Raizen did was wait as the footsteps got closer to the room. 'Another pair of footsteps? Smells like the kid's dad is coming too. All the more interesting,' he thought as the footsteps got even closer.

'And now for the main event,' Raizen thought as he disappeared in a POOF! making Kagome and Itachi's eyes widen. Both of them closed their eyes and braced for the impact. After she fell, both kids opened their eyes, and blushed at their closeness. Itachi could practically feel her breath on his neck. This was the scene both parents walked in on.

"What is going on in here?" Fugaku asked as he noticed both kids on the floor.

"Yes, I'd like to know as well, " a smiling Mikoto asked.

When they realized Mikoto and Fugaku were there, they quickly scrambled to get up. Once they stood up, Kagome tried to explain, "It's not what it looks like! I swear! Raizen showed up and, wel-"

She didn't finish her sentence as Mikoto interrupted while she began to walk away, "Sure, whatever you say."

Fugaku looked at her retreating back. He then looked at the kids, "Meet me in the kitchen, both of you. It's time for dinner."

They both nodded as they watched him turn around, and walk away. Once he left, they started a glaring contest.

"If it wasn't for you and your wolf, we wouldn't be in this mess."

"It's not my fault he decide to show up all of a sudden! I'm going to kill that wolf if it's the last thing I do," she practically sighed, " I'm going to see what your father wants," Kagome responded as she walked off.

Itachi walked right behind her as he thought, 'This might be more difficult than I thought. The damn wolf was right, if I don't hurry up and do something, she'll find someone else. I won't let that happen.' His eyes narrowed at the thought.

As he walked away, he completely missed the wolf hidden in the shadows, listening to all of his thoughts. 'That's right kid, get her before someone else does,' he then closed his eyes, 'he's right though, getting those two together is going to be more difficult than I originally thought. It's like I'm working with fire and ice here. No, these two are worse.'

He growled, as he opened his eyes, and watched the retreating figures. 'How hard can it be to get these two together!! They're both six years old for crying out loud!! My head is starting to hurt just thinking about it!! Alright, if I managed to get fire and ice to cooperate, I can get these two together. I will do it if it's the last thing I do!'

He was about to go back to the summoning realm, but stopped when he saw Raiden's angry face in his head, 'Hehe, I think I'll stick around for a little bit longer,' he thought as he dashed after his guinea pigs, 'Besides, I might be able to sneak in some food.'

ATTHEKITCHEN.

Everyone was silently eating at the table when Fugaku decided to interrupt, "Kagome, I've enrolled you in the academy. You are to attend the day after tomorrow. The Hokage also wishes to see you tomorrow. Itachi will accompany you."

Kagome's eyes widened, 'He's taking me! Not that I mind or anything, it's just, people like to stare. I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I want Raizen here right now, scratch that, I don't want him here. I want Raiden here. At least he won't make a big deal in the streets,' she looked at her arm, silently, almost hoping for it to glow blue.

"Very well. I will accompany her." Every one turned to Itachi, who just continued to eat. They all expected him to protest. Even Kagome expected him to protest, even if just a little.

She sighed as she finished her food. She stood up, went to the sink, and washed her plate. She stayed silent as she went to her room, unknowingly being followed by Raizen.

INKAGOME'SROOM

She plopped down on her bed and sighed, 'I wonder what the Hokage wants? Oh well, besides, of all people, I'm stuck with him. Great, I can't wait for class. I better not sit next to him, or this could cause problems. The last thing I want is to start a fight.' She just stared at the ceiling for a few moments.

"I guess I should go to sleep. I can't help but get the feeling that the next two days are gonna be LONG days," she said as she slipped under the covers, and dozed off into dreamland.

'So, she doesn't want to sit with him. I can arrange that…I'll do it later, ' a shadow thought with a smirk as it disappeared with a POOF!

SOMETIME THE NEXT DAY

"Wow! Look at all this! I've been to a lot of places before, but I've never seen so many people at once!" a happy Kagome practically shouted as she walked alongside Itachi through Konoha.

'She acts like a child on a sugar high going to a festival for the first time,' Itachi thought with a sweatdrop as he saw Kagome look around the shops while the shopkeepers just smiled in amusement.

He crossed his arms, and a small smile appeared on his face, but it disappeared as quick as it appeared when Kagome came towards him with a smile on her face, "C'mon Ita-kun! We gotta go before the Hokage gets mad!" She continued to smile as she dragged off Itachi towards the Hokage Tower.

'Ita-kun? Since when did she start calling me that?' He was about to correct her on his name when he saw the smile on her face, 'Maybe I'll let the name slide, just this once…and only for her. If anyone else calls me that, I'll kill them. Except for that damn wolf of hers…if I kill it, the other wolf will kill me along with her as well. That's not a pleasant thought.'

"Ita-kun! We're here!"

Itachi looked up at the Hokage tower, "How did you find your way here without getting lost?"

She smiled even wider, "I remembered from the last time I was here! Now let's go! He's waiting for us!"

"He's waiting for you, not me. I have to wait outside."

"Aw, that sucks, " She said as she went inside the tower. She kept running until she made it to a certain door. She pushed it open, and practically ran inside. She stopped in front of the desk when she saw a man with blond spiky hair and bright blue eyes doing paperwork with a scowl on his face.

"Um, hello. Who are you, and where's the old man?"

The blond looked down and saw a little girl talking to him through his stacks of paperwork. Irritated that he couldn't push them aside due to the large amount, he got up, and walked towards her.

"Well, I'm the Fourth Hokage. Sarutobi was just here filling in while I was gone for a month on an important mission in the Sand Village. I just arrived a few days ago. You must be Kagome Higurashi then. I read the scrolls, and since you're in the academy now, I need your help to open the scroll that contains the special information. It burns whenever I try to open it."

"I knew there'd be a catch in being called here. Always business, never to just say, Hi Kagome, or a, How was your day? Fine, I'll help you open that thing."

Kagome sighed as stepped back a bit to do the hand signs again. When she did the last hand sign, POOF! There stood Raiden and Raizen.

The Fourth stood confused as he looked at the wolves, "Kagome-sama, why is one of them sleeping?"

Kagome looked at him in confusion as she turned and saw a sight that made everyone in the room sweatdrop. There, on the floor, was Raizen, sleeping on his side with a nose bubble and his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

"Why he is sleeping, Hokage-sama, I have no idea, and please, just call me Kagome."

"Alright. Now, can you wake him up so we can get this over with?" the Hokage said with what looked like a sympathetic look on his face.

"Kagome-chan, can I wake him up?"

Kagome looked at Raiden as he looked at her with hopeful eyes, and a slightly wagging tail. She sighed, "Fine. I was hoping to get back at him for yesterday. I guess I'll get another chance at it some other time. Just don't over do it."

Raiden's tail was wagging furiously now as he got up and walked over to Raizen. He went over to his tail, opened his mouth, and bit down, hard. Raizen shot up quicker than a bullet. "My tail! You jerk! What was that for!? Don't you like me anymore?" he said with fake sniffles at his snickering brother.

"Heh, heh, that's what you get for falling asleep," Raiden just smirked, 'and besides, Kagome-chan said she wanted revenge, so I bit down extra hard. Now, help us open the scroll."

"Sniff, fine. By the way, who's Blondie?"

The Hokage visibly twitched at his nickname.

"He's the Fourth Hokage," Kagome answered.

"Sweet! Hey Blondie, what's your name?"

"Why do want to know that?"

"Curious."

"My name's Minato Namikaze."

"Nice name dude."

"Um, thanks?" Minato looked as confused as ever, "Anyway, can we get back to the scroll?"

"Oh, yeah! We almost forgot! Can we have the scroll?" Minato sighed as he tossed them the scroll, effectively hitting Raizen in the head, 'Yes! That's what he gets for calling me Blondie.'

"That hurt you know. Can we have some ink too?" Raizen said as he quickly hid behind Kagome as an ink well was tossed on his direction. Raiden caught it before it crashed into the wall.

Kagome opened the scroll, and winced as she bit her thumb, causing it to bleed. As soon as her blood made contact on the empty space in the scroll, The wolves quickly pressed as ink covered paw on each side of her. It began to glow when the wolves removed their paw. Everyone had to turn away if they didn't want to become temporary blind.

When the light died down, Kagome picked it up, and handed it to Minato, "There, it shouldn't burn anymore."

Minato cautious opened it, making sure it wouldn't burn his hand. Once he realized it was safe, he fully opened it, and began to read.

Hokage-sama, you can only be reading this if Kagome has made it into the academy to become a kunoichi. I thank you for that. Now, for the matter at hand, our clan's Kekkei Genkai.

Our clan has a special Kekkei Genkai that allows us to do our summonings without feeling worrying on the amount of chakra required. This is because the Kekkei Genkai is another chakra network in our bodies. It is more potent than ordinary chakra. Since it's more potent, it also allows us to have more than one summoning contract at a time.

Since we have the two chakra networks, the regular blue chakra, and our other chakra, it can be difficult to control without the proper training. It only gets out of control when we get a chakra over load. We have to constantly let out chakra in certain amounts. If we don't, the chakra will eventually overload our system, and at times, it can be fatal. It's not fatal under specific times and conditions.

Our summons help us with this problem. It is not unusual for us to randomly summon something when we don't need to. This is because when we summon, it takes the special chakra to use the jutsu. The stronger the summon, the more chakra is required. Sometimes, a summon will appear on it's own, and it will stay for months, constantly draining the chakra so it doesn't over load us. The summon will disappear once the summoner has lost enough chakra, and is no longer any danger.

The most common cases are in children because they can't properly control it. That is why we give them summons as early as possible to prevent any danger. As long as there is a summon, there will be no overload.

When there is an overload however, it is extremely dangerous. It is easy to tell when this happens, you start to glow the color of the other chakra. The color varies from person to person. In Kagome's case, the color of her other chakra is pink.

Once you begin to glow, you must summon the most powerful summon you have, then draw out as much of the chakra as possible, then release it onto your summon. The summon will absorb the chakra, then harmlessly release it into the earth. If you don't do this, the chakra will escape your body at a dangerously rapid rate. The chakra will then cause an explosion, effectively killing the person, and destroying everyone and everything within a twenty mile radius.

There will be a few times when the chakra will begin rapidly grow and escape on it's own. This will happen a few days after the person turns seven, eight, ten, and thirteen. The summon won't be much help when this happens because they won't be able to absorb it. The only way to stop the chakra from exploding, will be to have the person that cares about you most to absorb the chakra into their body. This will harm neither person if a summon is there to make sure nothing interferes when the chakra is being absorbed, or it will cause an explosion twice the size of a normal one.

After this happens, the person will be out cold for a few hours. The person will also not be able to use chakra at all for a week, since the network is developing into a more mature system, able to handle more strain on itself.

When this happens at age thirteen, the person will not be able to defend themselves for the duration of the time the network is using to develop itself for the last time. When this happens, the person must be careful to not engage in any physical fighting whatsoever. This will strain the body, and the person may die.

When the network is developed at any of these ages, the person must train for a week to re-master their chakra control. The person must not do things that will place too much strain on their bodies for the period of these two weeks. After two weeks, the person can gradually train until they get back to their level of fighting. Once they get their strength back, the person will be able to carry on with their lives as if nothing had happened.

-Koji Higurashi, Higurashi clan head

Minato carefully scanned the letter over. Once the information was taken in he looked at Kagome, "Kagome, how old are you right now?"

"I'm five."

'Good, I have two years before I have to worry about this.'

"Oi, if you're worried about the overload thing, don't worry, Kag-chan knows about it already-," Raizen began.

"-And besides, we already found the person that cares about her most. We'll be watching her when the chakra gets out of control. You won't need to worry," Raiden finished.

"Yeah! We'll make sure Kag-chan's chakra won't blow everything up," Raizen said in his cheery voice, "Anyway, Kag-chan's tired from using the pink chakra since it isn't very developed yet, so if you don't mind, we'll just take her home so she can sleep for a while."

Minato nodded as he saw Raiden place a sleeping Kagome onto his back. He walked over to the window and jumped out, landing safely on the ground.

"Oi, Blondie, once Raiden takes Kag-chan home, he'll disappear, I however, will not, I have business to take care of," Raizen said as he looked out the window. He turned to an angry looking Minato before smirking, "Hey, if you let me call you Blondie, I'll tell you the secret to defeating paperwork if you don't tell anybody."

Minato's eyes widened, "Deal."

"Use Shadow Clones Blondie."

'Of course! How could I be so stupid!?' Minato had an enormous grin on his face, since he was practically dancing in his seat. 'I finally defeated my greatest enemy!'

Raizen smirked at the ecstatic Hokage before jumping out the window. He was about to take off when he heard Minato yell, "YES!! FINALLY!!" Raizen's smirk grew wider.

LATERTHATNIGHT

A shadow dashed through the trees causing a few birds to take flight. It made it's way through the forest until it stopped in a clearing.

The moonlight lit up the clearing, causing the shadow's golden eyes to look around. They saw a small crystal clear lake. Flowers covered the ground, petals floated on the water, fireflies lit up the night, and the moonlight made everything look like it was glowing.

'Hmm, a clearing this beautiful could serve a purpose. Heh, Kag-chan and Ita-kun, you two have definitely not seen the last of me. You two will get to discover this place together. You'll have memories, good memories here. I'll make sure of it.'

The shadow looked around once more before taking off again. It ran until it come across a big building. 'Let's see, according to the sign, I made it to the academy, good.'

It ran inside and searched before it stopped in the middle of a hallway, 'Okay, I have no idea how to find the room. Alright, think Raizen, think. How do I find Ita-kun's class…I feel so stupid right now. I wish his scent was here, wait, it is! I just have to follow his scent! I really feel stupid right now,' he sniffed around until he took off in what seemed a random direction. 'There it is! The scent of spice and cinnamon that is also known as Kag-chan's future boyfriend.'

He entered a room, and followed the scent, 'Apparently, he prefers the seat in the back. Strange, no one sits in the chair next to him, but female scents surround the spaces near him, and male scents are the furthest away from him. The males have traces of anger in them, while the females have traces of lust, and they're all directed at poor Ita-kun.'

He walked over to the empty chair, and said out loud, "This is the only chair left. Looks like Kag-chan gets her wish," he smirked before practically singing, "She's gonna sit next to Ita-kun. This is gonna be fun."

He looked around before curling up under the table out of sight, "I think I'll just sit here and watch the show unfold." Soon, he fell asleep.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Well, there you have it, Chapter 2. Next chapter, they're going to school. This ought to be interesting.

Please review since it inspires me to write.
