Rain

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Inuyasha.

The rain fell around a black-haired girl in a gentle stream. She looked up and smiled faintly at the dark sky. She spread her arms and began spinning around slowly. Her silver-haired, masked companion sat beneath a tree off to the side what her with a small smile, not that she could see it. "You'll catch a cold if you stay out there too long, Kagome."

The girl stuck her tongue out at him and continued her small dance. "No I won't; you won't let me." Her companion gave a small snort but didn't deny her claim. "Come one, Kakashi; have a little fun!" She bounded over to him and bent down to look into his eyes.

The ANBU arched an eyebrow and allowed a smirk grace his masked features. "Allowing myself to get sick isn't my idea of fun. I'm quite happy to sit here and watch you, thank you." He leaved back and let his smirk widen when she pouted like a child. He closed his eyes, only to snap them open again when there was a splash and he felt water flow over him.

Kakashi glared at Kagome who was doing a poor job of looking innocent. He allowed his eyes to gaze over her, noticing how her ANBU uniform clung to her even more than usually did with the rain. His annoyed, mismatched eyes came back to her face and noticed the pink beginning to stain her cheeks. Either she's starting to come down with something, or she's blushing.

Kakashi stood up slowly, working out any kinks that may have lodged themselves in his muscles before giving his best friend a look that said, 'I'm it. Run.' She squealed a little then turned to run away, giggling. It had been a long time since she was able to play, and who better to play with than your partner and best friend?

Kakashi ran after her smiling a little. Ever since she had appeared in Konoha, Kagome had been a bright spot in his otherwise dull life since Rin and Obito died. She was an excellent fighter, but when anyone told her so, she would blush and say that her teacher was a perfectionist, though that was all she was willing to divulge about her past.

He paused for a moment when she disappeared and looked around for her, but he was splashed again from above before she jumped from the tree she had been in and ran again, beginning the chase again. Also since she had come into his life, she had a strange obsession with the rain. She always had to go out into it at least once when it rained and just stand there if nothing else. It was something that he would never understand, but accepted nonetheless.

He finally lunged at her and sent the both of them tumbling and laughing. If anyone passed by and saw them, they would never have guessed that they were two of Konoha's best. When they finally came to a stop, Kagome was on top of him, laughing still. "Ha! You attacked me and I'm the one to end up on top; beat that!"

She had a lot of spirit, and that was what attracted many of the men in Konoha to her. Of course, they had to go through her best friend, who just happened to be Konoha's famous Copy-nin, in order to try to get close to her. Needless to say, no one ever did. Kakashi smirked and easily flipped them over. "Now who's on top?"

Kagome pouted and Kakashi could only suppress the urge to kiss her for a moment before he gave in. His mask had fallen off while they were rolling across the ground, so he had nothing to remove before he covered her lips with his own for a gentle kiss that could be considered as either a friendly or romantic kiss. It depended on her. He was surprised, but not disappointed when she tentatively began to respond and he eagerly encouraged it.

After a few moments, they broke apart and Kakashi smiled fondly at the blushing girl below him. "Let's go, before we both get sick from the rain…" Kagome smiled back and let him help her up. Within a minute, they were running through the trees toward Konoha.

They didn't talk, they didn't need to. They just let each other's company soothe them. The Copy-nin allowed a smile to grace his once again masked features. Maybe Kagome was right… There was something about the rain that seemed to cleanse him. He felt lighter than he had since before his team died.

Yes, there is definitely something about the rain, or… He stole a glance at the calm ANBU with him. Maybe it's just the company.
