Kagome glared at the people around her while she remained tied to the tree. Her legs were bent to the side while she tilted her head against her shoulder looking down distantly to the grass before her. Her lips parted as she lifted her head shaking her head as her hair scurried behind her shoulders. Taking a deep breath she looked up to the sky yet her narrowed eyes softened. She saw the people looking at her still worried yet their teacher she assumed only gave her a side glances while they ate. She was suspecting that they assumed her to be hungry also and her suspicions were confirmed when Kakashi questioned, "hungry?"

She rolled her head to the side staring at him for a moment her blue stone cold eyes brightening considerably and her lips parting solemnly yet then she looked away muttering, "No, thank you."

Sasuke glared at her turning away gripping his kunai once again in his hand. He was shaking with fury of the girl that was now their prisoner who had pretty much schooled them in battle; Sakura gritted her teeth reluctantly then snapped, "Why is she with us? I mean is it really safe Kakashi-sensei?"

Naruto nodded following her like an oppressed jury member, "Yeah we should just take her out right now!"

Kakashi took a moment to ponder almost waiting for her reaction yet she gave none acting as if they weren't even there. Sasuke pointed out then in the moment of thinking with an uninterested yet eager look, "We really have no reason; she's bleeding anyway and those scars on her body. I doubt we'll need to worry about her fighting she'll die herself."

After a moment he turned to her slowly his lips quivering as he saw she was smiling. His eyes widened considerably as his hand shook jolting his thumb against his cheek. He whispered shakily trying to regain control, "We can't anyway-she's not human."

Kagome pointed out, "Don't be scared, if I wanted you dead you would be."

They seemed to freeze as she giggled under her breath dropping her head her hair rolling down her shoulders like rocks and snapping against her face. Kakashi took a deep breath standing and then walking towards her. She made no move to acknowledge him until he propped himself down right in front of her crossing his legs Indian style, "Who are you?"

She turned her head looking to him their eyes clashing violently. She smirked to his curiosity speaking calmly, "I'm Kagome."

Humored she raised an eyebrow asking for his response. He furrowed his eyebrows as everyone else seemed annoyed with her little game. Naruto clutched his fists just as Kakashi at the end of the rope or near it stated, "I can make you talk, and my students seem very much so appeased…"

She cut off his attempt or promises of torture by looking away uninterested speaking coyly with her own methods of torture believing surely they would establish fear into him, "Have you ever felt needles? African lava needles they call it, because they slowly grow in size from the first and after a while the poison of the tips burn your flesh uncontrollably and soon you lose control of yourself and as your blood boils and the lava rushes up your skin you get numb but you're thankful for that second until a rushing pain erupts it begins to clot your blood and blood is coming out everywhere, you feel your eyes are just ready to pop. Luckily before they do if the person is really in for a thrill they take it out and put them back in somewhere else."

Everyone seemed to go silent as she smirked turning her head raising an eyebrow yet her lips turned to the thin line her humor has evaporated, "you seem surprised."

Everyone swallowed hard staring at her in disbelief. Kagome shut her eyes slowly throwing her head back against the bark. She took a thin breath seeing as the rope was not helping her respiratory system Kakashi asked meanwhile, "Why did you attack us?"

Sasuke pulsed as Naruto voiced to begin, "Umm Kakashi-sensei…"

Kakashi turned while Sakura blushed looking down explaining, "We sort of started it, you see she was sort of suspicious looking and when she didn't talk and we saw the sword and blood…"

Sasuke finished unashamed, "We went after her instead."

Kakashi sighed covering his face in exasperation. Kagome remained blank while everyone looked at her. She tilted her head then explained, "Whatever you think you know or whatever go ahead I continue to live. Allow me to explain that I don't belong in this work I will be leaving here. I allowed you to take me capture, I allowed it, because I don't know where I am and you seem to find me highly threatening. As for me attacking you Kakashi I believe is because you narrowed your eyes to be as if to signify me as a threat…you would have attacked me instantly if I took another step."

There was an eerie silence as Naruto jumped, "You're the one tied to a tree so I wouldn't be acting like I'm all that!"

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him while Kakashi turned throwing a stick into the fire hearing it crack, he voiced, "We'll take turns with watching while everyone sleeps. Anyone volunteering?"

Sasuke threw up his hand as if forced while Kagome turned her head away. She didn't care for any of them she just needed to find out where she was, just when she knew she'd leave. Everyone nodded as Sakura spoke shyly, "I'll stay up to stay watch with you Sasuke…"

"No I don't need your help."

She made the look as if she had just seen her mother dead on the floor then nodded bashfully turning away and lying on the bed. She noticed them stare at each other then at her intimidating but she could care less. Looking Sasuke took a seat far from her his back to a tree and his eyes shut in a trance. She snorted while he opened his eyes to her, "Have something to say?"

Smiling she moved her head, "No nothing."

He was vexed by her and she couldn't enjoy it more. Kagome asked then as they slept or half slept, "What would to you be doing out here?"

He turned away then spoke reluctant to tell her, "We're training."

"Not that I'm saying you don't need it but why?"

He disregarded her insult at best and then spoke through clenched teeth, "We have an exam coming up soon."

She made no motion to respond allowing him to continue yet to be truthfully she was only listening to him halfway, she profiled him from his clothing and his exterior and the others with side glances yet spoke with a deep breath, "From what I'm seen you're sure to not do so well, it is a physical exam is it not?"

Jumping to his feet he threw a kunai at her yet she shifted her head easily to dodge it. Gritting his teeth he warned trying to keep his cool, "You shouldn't talk in your position."

He walked towards her to get it yet he saw she was looking at him and smirking, she had that look once again but this time it seemed sadistic, it looked darker than before, maybe because before she was fighting she was defending her life and now she was playing games. This girl who couldn't have been more than 1 year older than him was so played out and so secretive yet able to keep her cool in the slightest mention of torture by retorting her own, she was able to escape the effects of pain with a simple order from herself, he envied her yet at the same time he saw the same thing as Itachi in her eyes. He wanted to destroy her."

Reaching out slowly he grabbed the kunai while they stood inches from each other. For the first time he saw a glimpse of pain but as quickly as he could have imagined it, it evaporated into thin air. They stood there while he shook to keep himself from doing what he was sure he would be able to do, the only thing was-what he saw in her eyes wasn't a girl, he was imagining her as someone else. He was thinking that she was the very thing he despised the main character of his ambition. Instantly he felt it again, he felt the blood rush. Falling to his knees right besides her he shifted his head to her side his hand pressed against the bark near her head, blood slipped from his lips just as before.

He coughed loudly gripping his chest to get control of himself, why was it that this was only happening to him? Lifting his head he looked through the scattered strands of hair at this girl, she made no emotion yet after a minute she looked down blinking and turned away her lips still in a thin line. Her hair was just as messy as before the water forcefully dried out with time tangled around her face yet seemed as smooth as silk. The dirt only on her body and not on her face due to the encounter with the water thanks to Kakashi, she spoke softly for what seemed to be the first time, "You seem to hate me very much…good. Because than if I must kill you it won't be too difficult to know that my victim didn't put up much of a challenge."

He jumped scurrying back remembering the lack of space. He was shaking yet he jumped to his toes preparing if anything for her to attack. She was laughing at him, she held amusement in her eyes yet whenever she turned to the others she always treated them differently, as if she knew how to play them. Her body looked as if it was used as a tool to test out a variety of weapons but he didn't care about her problems right now because right now she was his problem. She turned to Naruto and her eyes softened considerably yet she shut her eyes tilting her head to glance at the blood he had vomited, her voice was cold and flicked with friction, "disgusting."

He jumped pulling out two kunai slipping them to his fingers and glancing around incase she was playing tricks with him but when he looked back at her he saw she was, she was acting. Her eyes were different, she was an actress but no matter her eyes would remain her weak point. What she was acting as? Who could be such a person? Was he wrong, maybe he had finally become crazy, suddenly he felt a hand pressed against his shoulder, turning he saw Naruto looking at him speaking with a sleepy yawn, "Hey! Its my turn now!"

Glancing to the hand that he was now brushing on his own clothing to get the renment of himself off he turned taking a deep breath, "Whatever."

Naruto glanced to Kagome propping himself down right in front of her his arms crossed defiantly. He made a scowl to which she gave a cynical smile to, a smile that remained on her face the entire time while he dozed in a out, she was surprised they'd trust him even to guard her. His similarity to Inuyasha was only in likes and dislikes and arrogance, anything else she did not know and did not intend to find out. She would use them to her benefit. Smirking to bring out his expectant attitude she asked, "What's wrong? Am I boring you? Or are you just lazy?"

Her unaffected voice caused him to snap as he yelled, "Shut up! I am the strongest here so you better be careful!"

She raised his eyebrow to his claim and glanced around. She spoke not bothering to look at him instead the fire, "Is that so? Why is it then that you were so easily beaten there near the river? Well besides…Sasuke is it?"

"Yeah, well you got me when I was going easy! When I get serious, you'll be in for it! Believe it!"

Her eyes because cold and uninterested as she curved her head back so she would have to roll them down to look at him. Her lips curved as she whispered, "You've been disrespected all your life you have been an outcast because of what you are…"

There was an eerie silence as he pulled out a kunai, he was thinking-what was he thinking she asked herself while Naruto was guessing her to be a mind reader or some kind of stalker. He asked, "What are you talking about?"

Turning away she gave no care to respond. She knew because that was who Inuyasha was, that was why Inuyasha acted the way he did. Used to fighting alone and being alone, then when surrounded finding a need to prove one's self to finally become established. The girl was a simple girl who had nothing special only a fan girl craving denied attention and the boy was hurt before, hurt by someone he loved and now seeking revenge because the one he loved took away something or someone he loved. The sensei as they called him was a bit harder to interpret since he was an adult but her skills of judging or classifying people she would have to thank to her life for the last 3 months. Her life in the hands of a monster, she was toyed with so much she learned how to become the puppet master.

To think to be tortured you would learn so much out of it. She would have been humored by it if only she didn't have the scars of him dominance on her. Naruto asked again, "I asked you a question!"

To test her theories she gave him a simple look, a look of disgust and saw he react by jumping and gritting his teeth. She smirked turning away the change in attitude impressing him as he calmed his shoulder slouching inward. She spoke coolly, "What's wrong Naruto annoyed that I know some things you have hidden deep down to hope to ignore. Your silent fuel as one would call it?"

Turning away taking a deep breath she turned her head the night was young she wasn't one to sleep, she forgot what dreams felt like and how it felt to melt into a stage of vulnerability and she cursed the demon's name for that. Naruto snapped her out of it by yelling her name to which she was sure going to awaken the entire forest if it could, turning her head she asked edged, "What?"

"You better lose the attitude! I'm not scared of you!"

"That will be your first mistake!"

"Listen sister, I'm a ninja! I can take you down easy!"

She waited for a moment to find the right words yet decided if she wanted to argue pointlessly she minus well argue with Inuyasha. Sighing she looked up to him, "I am 14 years old, how old are you?"

He seemed thrown off by her suddenly information and how she just shared it as if nothing but finally he noticed that she was bartering with information for information. He scoffed then spoke with clenched teeth, "I'm 13."

She nodded to him then turned away looking to the sky. He was a hyperactive and strange warrior but then again who was she to talk, a girl with now multiple personalities, tortured for 3 months and now sent to another world. What a story that'd make.
