Chapter 2: The heart on its bottom
He sighed and curled up to sleep, the kitten right beside him on the bed.
Kakashi woke up the next morning, feeling groggy. He lay on his bed for a moment trying to remember what had happened the day before.
He got up with a jolt, hoping that he hadn't squished his tiny guest to death. He took in a deep breath. The cat was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, sleeping on her side covered by only a sheet, was a unclothed woman. Kakashi reached for a kunai hidden always in the pockets of his clothes.
The woman was not a ninja, he could guess from her lack of alertness and how deeply she slept. She was neither from Konoha, he had never seen her before in his life.
Kakashi continued to stare, yet instead of disassembling her various physical attributes, he took a good long look at her.
She had long ebony hair that covered her shoulders and was sprawled out on his pillows like tentacles. Her body was mostly covered by a sheet, yet he could see the smooth white skin of her legs.
He dared not remove the sheet. The girl had a strange chakra, reminding him of almost an animal. He suddenly felt a change about her energy. The girl was awake.
She stretched her body out in an almost feline manner. Her mind poked out of the dream land first. Then came her senses.
The girl sat up and turned to look at him with open but sleepy eyes.
Her eyes were astonishing. They were blue, a deep dark blue that glowed in the light.
Kakashi stared at her and held his breath. Kunai in hand, they shared a brief moment of shock, and then he lunged at her.
His first priority was to trap her. She was a stranger, albeit a naked stranger, in his home and in his bed. His second priority was to get her to speak.
The girl didn't fight him. She was in a perpetual state of shock. He pinned her arms above her head with one hand and with the other placed the kunai at her throat.
"Who are you?" he demanded. "What are you doing here?"
Their faces were merely inches apart. The girl regarded him in awe. The look in her eyes changed to one of cleverness and she tentatively opened her mouth.
In one quick movement, she licked his nose.
Kakashi let go of her in surprise and she took the opportunity to wrap the sheet quickly about herself and tackle him down. She straddled him, yanked the kunai out of his hand, and spoke.
"My name is Kagome and I don't like to man handled."
Kakashi's eyes widened in shock. It couldn't be.
Kagome looked at him with a triumphant expression in her face.
"Look, it seems we got off to a bad start." Kakashi began. "So why not do this?"
Kagome looked puzzled.
"What exactly?"
Kakashi pulled her down and flipped her on her belly.
"Hey! What do you think you're ΜΆ
Kakashi pulled the sheet and sighed deeply.
There on Kagome's lower back, was a heart shaped mark.
"Well," he said. "It seems a certain kitten has some explaining to do."
A/N: Now I really know my beta will kill me. Well I enjoyed writing this chapter. It was fun. Now I have a challenge question. "Should we make Kagome from the feudal era, or should we keep this strictly AU on her side?" Answers would be appreciated. Thanks and good luck.
