Later that afternoon Kagome and Naruto went into town to buy some stuff for the spare bedroom that was finally clean. Naruto insisted that they go get ramen first but Kagome refused. She knew they would be there forever if she let him do that. He pouted and complained whenever they entered a store. She just rolled her eyes.
After they were done shopping for blankets, sheets and pillows. By the time they were done, Naruto had two bags of stuff. However on their way home Kagome say some cute clothing in one of the stores and thus the clothe shopping began.
"Are we done yet?" Naruto grumbled. Kagome turned towards him and smiled.
"Yep!""she said much to his relief.
"Good now let's go home," he said taking the lead. Naruto now had an extra 2 bags to carry. She almost felt bad but then realized he was a ninja and slightly shrugged her shoulders.
When they got home,Naruto collapsed on the floor in a heap of shopping bags and Kagome walked into the kitchen and pulled out a cooking book and some ingredients, for the meal she was going to cook: Miso Soup.
Just as she was beginning to start cooking there was a knock on the door.
"I got it," Naruto muttered pulling himself off the floor and going to the door.
"Yo!" The guy at the door said. It turned out to be Kakashi Hatake.
"Kakashi sensei! What brings you here," Naruto asked, stepping aside to let him inside.
"Well, I'll get straight to the point, Lady Tsunade wishes to see you both," he said, pulling out his book.
"Oh? What for?" Kagome asked.
"A mission perhaps," he glanced up to see Kagomes look of confusion and Narutos excited look.
"Well, let's go!" He exclaimed and grabbed Kagome's wrist and ran off to the hokages mansion. It always seemed like she was always being dragged around by someone.
As they arrived and Naruto bursting into the room without knocking and then receiving a punch for his rudeness, Kagome realized that she and Naruto weren't the only ones in the room. She saw two people she already knew and another buy she never met. She'd seen him around town sometimes or in a training field staring at the sky with a lazy expression or sleeping.
"Hello Kiba, Neji" Kagome greeted with a smile and wave. Neji nodded his head in respect and showing her that he acknowledged she was there. In a way he kinda reminded her of Sesshomaru. He seems cold on the outside but he is actually a nice guy on the inside. She smiled at the memory of Sesshomaru rescuing the little girl that was always with him.
"Helllloooo Kagome," Kiba greeted and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. Yes she now realized Kiba was more like Kouga. Always flirting and wanting to start some kind of fight. In his own way Kiba had already 'claimed' Kagome as his women.
"Now that you are all here, I have a very important mission for all of you. Orchimaru has been spotted near tenchi bridge. I have selected you all for special reason. Kiba with your nose you could sniff him out and Neji with you byakugan you'd be able to find him easily. Shikamaru with your brains and Kagome with your powers," s
Tsunade explained eyeing each and every one of them.
"What about me?" Naruto whined when his name was not mentioned. Tsunade ignored him.
"Kagome I don't think you have been introduced to Shikamaru. He is one of smartest shinobi placing first after Sasuke. Shikamaru this is Kagome, she is very powerful because she is a priestess," Tsunade said with a smile.
Kagome smiled at Shikamaru, "Pleased to meet you."
"Ya same here," he said rubbing the back of his head.
"Now this mission is very dangerous so all of you be careful, especially you Naruto. If the Akatsuki show up I want you all to flee. If both Orochimaru and the Akatsuki show up, then it's over. Especially if Orochimaru decided to bring Sasuke with him," Kagome glanced in Narutos direction and saw he went from being an idiot to completely serious at the mention if Sasukes name.
"You will all leave tomorrow at Sunrise, get a good nights rest. Dismissed," with those words everyone left the room. Kagome closed the door behind her and was met with a brick wall as she turned around.
"I don't think it's polite to run into people with out apologizing," the so called brick wall said. Kagome looked up and was greeted by Kakashi.
"Sorry Kakashi, I wasn't expecting you to be behind me," she grumbled and went to step around him.
"Actually I want to take you somewhere, come with me," he said and turned and started walking out of the building. Kagome followed mostly out of curiosity.
After 10 minutes of walking the two came to a stop in front of a run down looking building. She sighed
"You brought me to someones house?" She questioned. Kakashi didn't say but he did walk inside the house. After a few moments of waiting for him to come back out, she went inside and almost fell over.
"Only those powerful enough would be able to see through an illusion as strong as that,"Kakashi stated and rung the bell sitting in the counter. At first there was nothing,then there we're sounds of someone running through the house. From behind an old man.
"Ah, if it isn't the famous copy cat ninja Kakashi Hatake," the old man grinned and wrapped Kakashi in a bear hug, "Why, you even brought a beautiful young lady with you! Is this you girlfriend?"
"No, She is not my girlfriend," Kakashi replied returning the hug. The man stepped back and examined the two.
"Perhaps your fiancé." He questioned with hopeful eyes. Kakashi shook his head no.
"Wife?" He asked.
"Once more, Kagome is not my wife. She is a friend of mine,"Kakashi patted the old mans shoulder as he hung his head.
He looked up and his blue eyes met with Kagomes chocolate brown ones.
"Your a priestess?" He asked. Kagome nodded her head.
"I've been waiting to come across a one," the man left the room leaving Kagome and Kakashi alone.
"Copy cat ninja, eh?" Kagome smirked.
"Ya. It come with the eye," Kakashi replied with a smile.
"The eye?" She asked and tilted her head slightly to the side.
"Yes. I cover my eye because of the sharingan I got. It was transplanted of course by one of my teammates. It was a present from my best friend Obito," he sighed at the memory of his friends dying.
"Oh..." Before anymore words could be spoken the man came back with a bow and a quiver of arrows. The bow resembled that of Kikyos before she died. The one that was always hanging in Kaedas wall.
Kagome reached out and grasped the bow and examined it.
"That bow has been passed down from generation to generation looking for the right person to use it. It's in very good shape, better than the ones here if I do say so my self," he said smugly and continued, "the legend was said that that bow belonged to a priestess named Kikyo, and apparently she sealed a half demon to a tree," Kagomes eyes widened and she held the bow close to her chest.
"Thank you," she said and bowed deeply.
"No problem. The names Dalan by the way," he winked at her and she smiled.
"Well we must be off, Kagome has her first mission tomorrow," Kakashi said guiding her towards the door.
"Have fun on your mission, Lady Kagome," Dalan said. Kakashi closed the door and walked Kagome home.
