~~~~Chapter 5~~~~

~~~~Normal POV~~~~

"Kabuto." Kagome whispered underneath her breath. After that Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke both caught up to Neji and Kagome.

Kagome fell to her knees, gasping for air. They saw blood go over the side of her mouth. "Kagome! What's going on?" Naruto yelled.

She stood up shakily and said, "We have company." Then she turned towards them and said, "Now, do not interfere and do not, I repeat do NOT protect me-" she was about to say something else when she went flying backwards.

"Kagome!" Naruto yelled while turning towards her. Then he looked all around and said, "Who did that? I'll kill you!"

"Now, now Naruto, you shouldn't be saying such meaningless things."

"Whose there." Sasuke asked.

"Me." They all turned to a boy with silver hair and glasses holding Kagome bridal style. (She fainted.) "Kabuto." Naruto said.

Kagome twitched one of her fingers. Then her hand was glowing pink, and she swung at Kabuto. She got his arm which, FYI, had a large gash in it.

"Now, now Kags. Look at you! You look like a frightened animal. Just follow me and no harm will come to anybody. I am, however, not so sure about you." Kabuto said while smirking deviously.

It's true. Kagome's eyes were wide in fear and she was shaking and stiff. She looked like she had just witnessed something horrific.

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

I couldn't move! 'They're going to hurt me. They're going to hurt me.' I kept arguing back. 'The other people though. I thought I would have to sacrifice myself for them.' It just kept going back and forth, back and forth so fast I couldn't keep up with my thoughts.

Then I felt arms wrap around me. "Miko. Relax." I turned to see a pair of golden eyes.

"S...s...Sesshomaru? I thought you were dead." I said shakily.

"Who are you?" I turned around to see obsidian black eyes close to my face. I saw a flash of jealousy in them. "He...he's just a friend. Ne, onikii?"

I stood up straighter, took a deep breath and said, "Both of you, move." with as much coldness I could muster. Sesshomaru stepped back. Sasuke however bent forward and whispered in my ear, "When this is over, I expect you to be alive."

"Okay." I whispered.

~~~~Kabuto's POV~~~~

I couldn't help but be pulled by her. She smiled at the oddest of times, you never expect her to do something, and you never expect to fall in love with her. I smirked. I thought about how she didn't know me at first, but became friends anyway.

'What about I have some fun with this.' I thought. "Kags!" I warned as I picked her up bridal style and...

~~~~Normal POV~~~~

Everybody was surprised at what happened next. He picked her up and threw her at the gates of Konoha. Hard.

She stood, and wiped some blood off of her face. "Is that all? Kabuto, I expected better than that pathetic excuse for a toss. Hahahaha! You little weakling." She then looked at him with evil glinting in her eyes.

She dashed towards him, he did the same. She punched him hard in the gut. You could hear a couple of ribs break. He stabbed her in the leg. They both jumped back.

They circled for a little bit. Then Kabuto dashed towards her and had green chakra covering his fist. Not knowing what was in for her she charged as well.

"Kagome! Pull back!" Naruto yelled. It was to late. Kabuto just had to tap her head and she fainted. He picked her up and laughed evilly. "Put her down, baka." Sesshomaru stepped out. He was about to draw his sword when a tongue came out and grabbed his hand.

"Now, now Lord Sesshomaru." Orochimaru came out of the shadows.
