SilverInu: So how did you guys like the first chapter? Anyways, the mob found my Secret Lair(aka my loft) and ran me out so…..I've been hiding in my neighbor's cellar! Sound's fun right?

-Hears the mob outside the cellar-

O crap well I guess I have to go now. Love you guys!

-Runs screaming from the room-

Silent Kage: Well alright then….any ways….SilverEyedInu and I, myself, Silent Kage do not own Inuyasha or Naruto. Only Silver(the Silver/Shadow Neko) in this story.

'Silver's Mind Speech'

'Thoughts'

Chapter 2: Team 7 meets Kagome

Last Time….

Nothing except tree's greeted her at the top of the well. 'I thought that the well clearing was…well…clear of tree's?' Kagome thought, looking down at Silver. 'Seems like she noticed the change too.' Kagome was brought out of her thought's by the sound of chain's and yelling from, what it sound like, kids calling out 'Sensei'. "Well Silver." Kagome whispered" seems like were not in Edo any more, huh girl?"

Now….

"Come on Silver, lets try to climb up the well and see what's happening." Whispered Kagome, still wondering what in seven hells was going on outside the well. Spotting the vines that grew inside the well, Kagome grabbed a hold of them and started to climb out, making sure not to make any noise. Looking at Silver, who was now perched on her shoulder, Kagome thought to herself,' Thank all the Kami that I paid attention to Sesshomaru-sama when he taught me about demon stealth.' Hiding her aura and scent as she reached the lip of the well, she peaked over the edge, only to duck back down when a stray kunai flew past her head and lodged itself into the wood where hers and Silver's head was at, not a second ago.

Wide-eyed, Kagome put on her almost horrifyingly similar passive face of Sesshomaru-sama, something that was not easily to master, since she was just copying her sensei. Glaring over the well, again, she had to catch herself from dropping her cold expression. There, in the clearing were three children, a blonde, a brooding boy, and a pink-haired girl surrounding an old, drunk looking man,' The source of the screaming kids' Kagome thought. Looking in front of the kids and man were two men who had two chains as weapons looking quite smug. All of the kids and adults(except the old man)had a metal plate attached on a piece of fabric tied somewhere on their bodies.' Strange,' Kagome thought, but what shocked her most was that, on the ground was a man with silver-grey hair, torn in two.' That must have been their sensei' Kagome thought…'Wait…that's not real blood…even from here. It doesn't smell like it.'

While the blonde was yelling at the two men across from them and the girl dubbed 'Pinky' was mumbling something about 'how could their sensei be defeated so easily', Kagome and Silver slipped out of the well and hid behind the closest tree. Using even more of the demon stealth that Sesshomaru taught her, Kagome easily moved from tree to tree without being spotted. When she was close enough to the two men, she climbed the tree, careful that she didn't shake the branch. When up on a sturdy branch, she pulled out her bow and nocked an arrow, keeping another one on hand. The first man made a move towards the kids when she mumbled an ancient subjection spell on both of her arrows and shot one arrow each towards the men who dare harm these people. The first arrow struck the second mans heart, ending his life almost instantly, but the second arrow pinned the first man to a tree that bordered the path that they were on. Hiding herself in the shadows of the trees, Kagome looked down upon the scene that was unraveling below Silver and herself.

*Kakashi's POV*

'What the hell? I didn't even sense anyone else here.' I thought, looking up at the girl who was now trying to hide herself in the shadows of the tree she had shot her arrows from. 'hm, I had better find out who she is though.' Getting up from my position in the underbrush, I made my way back to my students. When I stepped out into the clearing I was met with the shocked expressions (except Kagome's) of everyone in the clearing.

"Sensei! You're alive!" screamed Naruto and Sakura, while I 'poofed' away my clone, which was now a pile of logs.

"Naruto you're hurt," I said but turned my head up to the tree's where the strange girl was located"but I would rather know who you are and why you saved my students."

*Normal POV*

"Naruto you're hurt," said the once 'dead' sensei, who happened to look up into the tree Kagome was standing in "but I would rather know who you are and why you saved my students." Kagome and Silver both tensed, thinking what they should do. Kagome sighed.

"Sensei what are you talking about?" Pinky asked,"I don't sense any-".

"I guess I should have known someone would have sensed me." Kagome said jumping down from the tree with Silver in one hand and her bow in the other. All of the kids went into defensive position, thinking that she was going to attack them. Kagome rolled her eye's at the kids and looked at their sensei." My name is Kagome Higurashi and this is my neko partner, Silver." Said Kagome as the said neko purred happily." And as to why I saved your students…..well what would you do if you happened to wander into the beginnings of a battle that happened to involve three children and an old man?" Kagome asked, ignoring the cries of protest of not being children and an old man.

"I guess you are right, by the way my name is Kakashi Hatake and these are my three students. Team 7, introduce yourselves." Kakashi said looking at the said students.

"I'm Naruto, and I'm going to become Hokage one day, believe it!" Said Naruto, doing his signature pose.

"I'm Sakura" said 'Pinky'.

"…Sasuke" said the brooding boy, who was getting heart-filled stares from Sakura and a glare from Naruto.

Kagome lean sideways towards Kakashi," Odd bunch of kids you have with you", Kagome whispered, but loud enough for Naruto to hear.

"HEY! We're NOT an odd bunch of kids!" Naruto protested, but stopped mid-rant to think about something. "Hey Kagome?" Kagome looked up from her conversation with Kakashi about her stealth. "Why do you keep calling us 'kids'?" Naruto asked, "I mean, you only seem about a year or two older than us." Everyone stopped what they were doing at the moment, wondering the same think.

Kagome giggled at Naruto's question.' Her laugh sounds like bells' Kakashi thought, but snapped out of it when she spoke.

"Because Naruto" Kagome began," where I come from, I had just mastered my sword handling," Kagome said, touching the hilt of Shiva, who vibrated happily from the attention from her master," and my healing abilities", Kagome lied, she hated to do it, but she needed to know weather or not there were any mikos left here.

"I guess that makes-OWW" Naruto exclaimed bending over, clutching his hand that had been cut during the battle.

Kakashi walked over to Naruto and held his hand up to his face to check. "Hmm…" Kakashi said examining the wound. 'poison' he thought looking up at Naruto and then over to his team who was talking about their sudden visitors." Team, we may have to go back. Naruto's wound is infected by poison and we have no way to get it out." Kakashi said, trying to ignore Naruto's cries of protest saying he was fine.

"Did you forget that I had JUST said I had mastered my healing abilities?" Kagome asked from behind Kakashi, examining Naruto's wound for herself. Taking Naruto's hand from Kakashi, she placed two fingers over Naruto's wound.

"But," Sakura said" it's impossible to get poison out of-""All done!" Smiling at her work, Kagome said. Team 7 peered over Kagome's shoulder, and gasped. There wasn't even a scar left. Even expert medic nin could never make a wound that big heal without leaving a scar. Kagome sighed, did everyone forget that she had said not moments ago that she had mastered her ability to heal?

"Anyways," Kagome said, looking over to Kakashi" where were you guys headed before you were attacked?"

"We are on a mission from our Hokage to escort Mr. Tazuna back to his home in one piece" Kakashi said looking at her, "Why do you ask?"

"Well since at the moment I have no idea what-so-ever where I am right now, I was wondering if I could go with you guys." Kagome said, looking around at the group.

The group glanced around at each other, wondering if they should allow her to join or not. In the end, everyone was staring at Kakashi for her answer.

"If you come with us, after the mission, we will want to have you talk to our Hokage about letting you stay in the village." Kakashi stated, looking at Kagome to see if she would still want to go with them.

Kagome glanced at Silver, who purred happily on her shoulder. 'I don't mind if we go mistress.' Said Silver though her mind speech. Nodding, Kagome looked back at the group." Yes, I will talk to your Hokage once we are done with your mission."

"Alright," Shouted Naruto," Let's get going then!"

Picking up her arrow from the corpse, Kagome placed it back into her quiver and used her miko powers to shrink back onto her charm bracelets. She turned and noticed everyone was already walking away from the scene. Kagome glanced back at the well when Naruto yelled back at her to hurry up. Turning her back on the well to catch up with everyone, Kagome had no idea how much her life would change with herself being in the presence of the copy-nin, Kakashi Hatake.
