Chapter 3

~~~~Ninja'a POV~~~~

The girl landed in front of them. "Now, sir, we need you to come with us."

"Kukuku. Why should I. You would just punish me for taking her under my protection."

"What do you mean, protection?" Sasuke asked.

"I mean Orochimaru is also after her. Kukuku, Kakashi, why the surprised look?"

"How do you know of Orichimaru?"

"He loved her. He also trained her."

"What do you mean by loved?" Sakura asked.

"Well, you see, Orochimaru is a vicious man, she disobeyed him. He tortured her for three days straight. On the third day, she almost killed him."

"Nani? How? How can a weak looking girl like her be so powerful?" Naruto yelled.

"Ja ne." Naraku said then disappeared.

"Hey, wait!" Naruto yelled.

"Naruto he's gone." Kakashi said while picking Kagome up bridal style. "Now lets go."

"Hai." Naruto said while pouting.

"Hn." Sasuke said.

"H...hai." Sakura said a little hesitantly. With that, they were gone.

Halfway there Kakashi told Sasuke and Naruto to go on ahead and get medic nin.

Fifteen minutes later, the medic nin got her from Kakashi and are now headed toward Konaha.

~~~~Kagome's POV~~~~

I felt like I was floating in the air. When I woke up I saw a strange man, and the top of trees moving fast.

It confused me. 'What's going on?' I freaked out in my head. "Hey! She's awake!" I turned my head a little to see five more strange guys in strange clothes. 'I have to get out of here!' I thought.

I started to wiggle and squirm. Finally I picked myself up and kind of jumped out of his arms.

"Hey!" he yelled. But I kept falling. "Ahh! I yelled out quietly. I landed on a trees branch. I was breathing heavily. So, I crawled towards the trunk of the tree. "Haaaah haaaah. Ugh!" I little blood came out of my mouth.

I knew that I had internal damage, so, I gathered my Miko energy into my hands. It glowed a comforting pink. I put my hands up to my chest and a sudden pain went through me.

I could feel all of my broken blood vessels threading back together. "Ahh...ahhh."

"What's the matter? Why is your chakra such a weird color?" I looked up and saw the silver haired man. 'What's his name? Kiki? No, no, no it was Kakashi!"

"Your name is Kakashi, ne?"

"Hai. Now, why did you jump out of that medic nins arms?"

"I didn't now him and had no guarantee of my safety. And..." I lowered my head and scrunched my face in pain.

"What's your name?"

"Kagome.." I barely breathed out.

"Well then Kagome, what is the matter."

"Kakashi..." I tried to warn. It was to late, I fell out of the tree. The pain was just ot much for me to handle.

'no,no I cannot die yet.'

I thought desperately. As I fell, I stopped. I opened my eyes the tiniest bit to see sasuke looking down at me worriedly.

"Take her back to Konoha, Sasuke."

"Hai." that was the last word I heard before passing out.

~~~~Akatsuki Base~~~~

"Itachi. Orochimaru is after this powerful human girl. Go find her and bring her back, alive and untouched." Pein said.

"Hai. What does she look like." A folder was thrown to him. His eyes widened slightly. To him she looked like a powerful, courageous girl. To him she looked...pretty.

He almost laughed at pretty. "I'll be on my way then."

"Itachi. You may run into Orochimaru."

"Hai." Then he was off. It would take him at least two days using all his chakra and strength it would take a day, then he could rest the other day.

He chose to use up all of his strength and chakra.

Little did everyone know that Orochimaru and Kabuto were already after her then Sasuke.
