Kakashi eyed Obito warily. "You're actually on time for once." He remarked, eyes emotionless. For once he was actually pleased with the Uchiha—but he'd never admit it. Nope, he would never know…

At least, not from him.

"Eh? Oh, yeah—shut up!" He blurted suddenly, his cheeks dusting with red.

"Kakashi's right, Obito," Minato interrupted. "You seem…unnerved, what's the matter?"

"Eh? Nothing Minato–sensei!" He responded, his eyes looking everywhere then at his team mates.

"Are you sure?" Rin asked gently. "You don't seem okay—are you feeling sick?"

"Eh? No! I'm feeling great!" He laughed nervously.

"Obito!" A faint, distant cry sounded from somewhere nearby. Obito stiffened and he looked at the direction of the voice in pure fear. Fine? Yeah, right. "Damn it, Uchiha! Where the Hell are you?!"

"Ne, Obito?"

"Hai, sensei?" Obito backed up nervously.

"Dosen't that sound like your friend—Kagome, was it?" Minato asked, his mirth gleaming in his own blue eyes.

"Hai, sensei," Obito managed to get out. "But Kagome isn't feeling well, she's at home."

"Is that so?" Minato asked with a slight smirk at the same time Kakashi snorted. "'At home,' my—"

"Obito Uchiha!" A very angry voice screamed. Birds sqwaucked and flew out of the trees in fear. Obito's knees shook. 'Uh, oh…she's really mad now…I don't wanna die.' "Damn it all! When I get my hands on you I'll break your neck—no, that's too nice! I'll have Sesshomaru and Inuyasha skin you after ripping out your organs! Yeah! That sounds nice—now get over here you…you…you…"

Her vicious rambling went on. 'Sesshomaru…Inuyasha…' Minato thought, 'those names sound familiar—wait a minute—' "Obito, is she talking about Sesshomaru and Inuyasha from the Kazekizu clan?"

"Yeah, they're Kagome's older adoptive brothers."

"So it is Kagome," Kakashi stated smugly.

"Shut up—"

"Maa, maa," Rin touched Obito's arm lightly. "Now's not the time for fighting."

"Get out of my way!" Another loud vehement yell sounded.

"Ne, Minato–sensei?" Obito asked jumping behind athick tree trunk. "Can we get on with the mission—I'd rather live to see tomorrow…"

"Your fault for angering one of the Kazekizu," Kakashi reminded.

"Stuff it, you arrogant jerk." Obito snapped.

"There you are!"

"Oh, Hell," Obito whimpered quietly.

Kagome stomped into the clearing and glared right at the Uchiha clan member. 'He is so dead.' "Where the Hell were you?!" She growled almost animal like, moving faster than Minato could see and grabbing Obito by his shirt's collar.

"Uh, I'm on a mission right now, so—"

"Mission my foot," she snarled darkly.

"Maa, maa, Kagome—" Pbito trued to appease the fiery girl.

"Sensei?" Rin tugged on Minato's sleeve. "The Kazekizu, they're the clan with those special swords, right?" Minato nodded his head in reply.

Now that he had the chance, he eyed the girl warily. She wasn't dressed in the garb of a shinobi, which meant that she was a civilian. She also didn't have the signature golden eyes and silver hair that the Kazekizu were know to have…but then again, Obito did say she was adopted. But then, when did the Kazekizu adopt her? They were so secretive and were rarely seen, despite the constant rumors of the meing battlefield geniuses, they were yet to be seen in battle. All their squads were made up of their family members. Not to mention their quick tempers and isolated home.

In short, the Kazekizu clan was a mystery. But this girl…she was exactly the opposite of what Kakashi or Minato heard about the clan.

"Ne, Kagome?" Mimato asked interrupting the arguing couple. "You're from the Kazekizu clan, right?" Blunt, ke knew, but there was no other way around it.

"Eh?" She blinked in surprise. "Oh, yeah, and your Minato Namikaze—I remember now, Sesshomaru–nii speaks…uh…highly of you—" Well, not really. Sesshomaru spoke about him only once, in a very cold voice, but she could hear the faint, begrudging respect in his voice.

Minato beamed, inwardly doing his happy dance. Sesshomaru Kazekizu was a very cold man. He had no disregarded and had no respect for those he deemed weaker than himself. He remembered seeing the cold hearted man, once, and he knew instantly that Sesshomaru absolutely depised weaklings. Hell, the only person he had respect for was his father—or so he was told.

"—And Inuyasha–nii calls you a show off!"

Oh, well, there went his ego.

"You love your siblings don't you?" Rin noted, smiling. She was beginning to the like the girl. She seemed nice (when she wasn't angry) and seemed like Obito and her were good friends.

"I guess so, but they're total pains in tha ass."

"Rin Nohara," Rin held out her hand.

"Like the gaki said, Kagome Higurashi, but I go by Kagome Kazekizu too." Kagome smiled and shook her hand.

"Who you calling a gaki?!" Obito shrieked.

"Ne, shut up," Kakashi ordered. "Your whining is annoying."

"You're annoying!"

Kakshi rolled his eyes. And just when things were getting interesting too…and Kazekizu friends with someone like Obito? Huh, who would've thought?

A/N:

Do ya' guys get it? *Wink, wink.*

Kazekizu

Kaze Kizu

Kaze no Kizu

The Wind Scar?

Great name, right?!

I mean people always call them the Taisho's and I wanted something orginal. So I came up with the name Kazekizu, not bad right?
