Chapter II

Kagome Meet's Team Gai

-x-x-x-

(Year 2002, Modern Era, Konoha)

An hour had passed and Kagome was almost finished picking apples when an annoyingly loud, yet somewhat amusing voice hit her ears.

"AHH! KAKASHI! My rival, who has taken you from this youthful world? Such a transgression shant be forgiven."

"Gai Sensei, you're so noble!" Another voice drew her attention away from the tree of apples.

"Yes Lee, you should always honor your friends during their time of death...even your rivals. Let us get him ready for his funeral." Kagome almost dropped the bucket of apples as she took off running. She jumped the fence and landed before two guys with bowl cut hairdos. Two others were already trying to get them to release her uncle. The four turned to look at the new arrival.

"Oh my, what's going on out here?" The elder woman asked as she came out.

"Forgive the ruckus ma'am. I have finished with the apples." Kagome bowed, taking the four by surprise.

"What a sweet young boy you are. Your parent must be very proud." Kagome blushed and Tenten sighed.

Neji glanced at the boy and frowned.

Lee was blushing as the cute sight of the boy, sparkles shining brightly in his eyes. "Gai Sensei, he holds the potential to be a youthful spirit!"

"I see it to Lee." Kagome gave the bucket the woman with a smile and sweat drop. She walked over to her uncle and placing a hand over his heart she let a pink glow engulf her hand before he jumped up, eyes open and scanning the area.

"..."

"Welcome back to reality Uncle." Kagome said smiling.

"What did you do to me?"

"I answered your question!"

"...Oh yeah, I remember. That explains why my whole body aches." The others stared in surprise at her ability.

"Uh-um, ex-excuse me." Kagome turned and smiled sweetly at Tenten.

"Yes?"

"Your name..." She said blushing.

"Hm, isn't it customary to give ones name first?"

"Tenten. These are my friends and teammates, Neji Hyuuga and Lee Rock. This is Gai Sensei."

"My name is Kagome, it's a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope to see you around soon Tenten." She took Tenten's hand gently in hers before releasing it and walking off with Kakashi. A blushing Tenten watched her go, holding the warm hand to her chest.

"Oh, wow." She whispered softly. The three guys around her stared in surprise, their Tenten had...a crush...and it wasn't Neji.

-x-x-x-

Kakashi didn't know how long he was out so he was a little nervous about taking her to his home.

"Hey Kagome, are you hungry. Let's go to Ichiraku's Ramen shop."

'Ramen...' Kagome frowned, "Sure." She said as they walked into the ramen place and she ordered a beef Raman. She had her bags next to her, wanting nothing more than to get into a warm bed and sleep the rest of the day away.

"Here you go young sir, Kakashi. So who is this?" Ichiraku asked, motioning his hand to Kagome.

"This is...my nephew, Kagome."

"Nice to meet you; Kagome sounds kind o—"

"Kind of like a girl's name, yes, I know. My mother wanted a girl so badly that she never took the time to think up boy names." Kakashi busied himself with his noodles, trying not to laugh at his niece's predicament.

"I see. Well, enjoy your noodles." She nodded and continued to eat.

Sakura sighed as she finished dusting and started to vacuum. Sasuke was putting the dishes in the washer up and Naruto was stuck doing the laundry.

"SAKURA-CHAN, TRADE JOBS WITH ME!" He cried out from behind a germ mask. Rubber gloves covered his arms up to his elbows and flame resistant clothes covered his normally odd colored ninja clothes.

"No way Naruto, I'm not touching his dirty clothes!"

"PLEASE SAKURA-CHANNNN!"

"NO! Why can't you be more like...uh..."

Sasuke looked up to see her looking past him and blushing. A young boy, about their age, with black hair cut to his chin neatly and straight, with sapphire blue eyes was standing there with Kakashi.

"H-hi, I'm Sakura...it's n-nice to m-m-meet you." She said with a blush. Kakashi raised a brow and glanced at his niece.

"Hello Sakura, I am Kagome; it's nice to make your acquaintance."

"S-same."

'What a hottie! HE'S EVEN COOLER THE SASUKE, CHA!'

"Sensei, is this your nephew?" Naruto asked as he skidded to a halt in front of Kagome.

"Yes, my nephew, Kagome."

"If you don't mind, why are you cleaning my uncle's home?"

"Sensei made it a mission, so we have no choice."

"...I see." She glared at him and he looked away. "You can leave, I'll finish up here. I am sorry for him putting you to work."

"Alright, by the way, I'm Naruto Uzamaki. I'm going to be the next Hokage, Believe It!"

"I'm sure you'll make a great Hokage, surely you'll wait a while longer though, right? To take on that kind of responsibility at such a young age...it sounds strenuous."

"I'll manage. This is Sasuke Teme." Sasuke glared at Naruto.

"...Sasuke Uchiha."

"I'm glad to meet both of you." She said as she bowed and smiled sincerely, catching both Sasuke and Naruto off guard.

"Are you guy?" Kakashi muffled a laugh at his blonde pupil's question.

"I'm going to bed." Kagome said, not answering the question. When she was gone Sakura smacked him over the head.

"Naruto, you idiot."

"Dobe..."

Kakashi watched as they left, all three bickering.

"Hehe..." He pulled his book out and leaned against the wall.

(The next morning)

Kagome wore pair of baggy black pants and a large light blue silk dress shirt. Tinny shoes adorned her feet and a white floppy eared bunny hat with eyes and a nose that was blushing was on her head. She currently was playing with the ears that had fallen in her face as she walked down the street. When she had woken up she found a note from Kakashi saying that he and his team had a mission and wouldn't be back for a week or so.

'Of course, I get here...and he leaves.' She sighed and ran into someone, both falling to the ground. "Ouch, sorry...Neji, right?" The boy in front of him nodded and held his hand out once he stood up. Kagome took his offered hand and stood up, retrieving his hand back as soon as he was balanced.

"You should watch where you're going." He said off-handedly.

"Eh, me? You could have gone around if you were paying attention, so don't just blame me." Kagome pouted and looked away, missing the light tint to appear on his cheeks before he furrowed his brows.

"Hm, whatever." Neji turned to walk away.

"Hey, wait." He looked over his shoulder.

"Will you...will you spar with me? My uncle left before I woke up with his team, so I have no one to spar with, for that matter, I don't even know where the training grounds are."

"...you look weak."

"HEY! I'M NOT WEAK!" Eyes turned to the duo and Kagome started to redden at the attention.

"Heh, fine, but I won't go easy on you."

"I didn't want you to." She was about to follow when the sound of crying caught her ears and she turned to see a little boy crying as he held onto an older boys leg.

"..." She walked up to the two and got on her knees before the little boy, the older looking down with raised brow.

"Hey little Chibi, what are the tears for?"

"Onii-s-san, h-he's leaving." The little boy cried. Neji had walked up behind her as well as a few villagers, all watching the exchange.

"Well, he'll come back though, right?"

"...y-yeah, b-but I want him to stay here."

"Sometimes, people have to go away, so that they can protect the ones they care for the most. He loves his ototou and wants to protect you with all that he can, so you have to support him with all the will you have. Wish him luck and he will come back." The little boy looked at the ground before releasing his brother's leg.

"G-good luck, Onii-San."

"Keh, how troublesome, I'll be back soon, Shiko." Kagome stood up and walked back over to Neji.

"You ready?" He nodded, both aware of the boy still following them.

"Nee-Chan..." Kagome froze and turned back Shiko, his brother watching in mild amusement.

"What?"

"You are like an Onee-Chan or Okaa-San, not an Onii-San...Gomen..." She sighed.

'I can't believe, that he is calling me the correct title and I can't go by it...annoying old hag...when I find her...' She sighed, "Call me Kago. If you want, check with your brother first, you can come with us Chibi." Neji frowned but said nothing.

"Who are you?" The older boy asked.

"My name is Kagome, Kakashi's nephew and you?"

"...Shikamaru. Shiko, you still have to be home by seven."

"I will."

The three left, Shikamaru stared momentarily and raised a brow.

'He act's...like a girl...well, not one that I know, but maybe a girl I wouldn't mind talking to. Hmm, maybe not, troublesome females.'
