A/N: This story will have a time skip at an appropriate place, as Neji is 13 and Kagome is 12. Yes, they are extremely young. I wanted to establish how Kagome becomes the way she does before hand, and it was too much for a simple flashback. I have plans in mind for this story! You have no idea! .

Also, R0o! His dad was part of the training, as well as his uncle. It was up to his dad to do the rape endurance training that time. So, yes, he is his son! He's not Hinata's half brother!(Though...that'd have been nice...)

ON WITH THE STORY!

The days seemed to pass quickly, as Kagome would follow Neji around with a smile and a skip in her step, often times hiding in trees around him. Gin found her actions strange and illogical, but stayed with her anyway, watching her as she watched Neji.

To Gin, she looked like a stray thankful to finally have a home, and to her, Neji was home, it seemed.

He would train, and sometimes Kagome would join in with a surprise attack or two, which, at first, caught Tenten completely off guard, as his usual training partner.

With Gin transformed with the Beast Human Clone Jutsu, the two partners threw themselves at him with an immediate Fang Over Fang Technique. The spinning of their bodies, combined with the force of thei chakra used, made for a high velocity attack that did vicious damage upon impact.

Tenten had become so startled, she jumped back about ten yards and watched as Neji and Kagome faced each other one on one while Gin sat back, waiting.

Neji found Kagome exceptionally beautiful during battle, as both parties needed their own chakra to battle. Kagome, without influence, had sapphire colored eyes. When she used the Four Legged Technique, she had an impossible flexibility, and amazing speed.

He had been caught off guard a few times, and her claws had raked him in various places, leaving him bleeding. Tenten had interfered the first time, but learned quickly her weapons were useless when Kagome was like this. The girl was too fast and unpredictable to keep up with.

Neji's Eight Trigram Palms Revolving Heaven was proven to be amazingly useful during these fights, often time throwing Kagome back far enough for him to get a quick breather.

Tenten assumed that Kagome was a training partner for Neji before he started training with the team, and had come back to her training partner on instinct. Gin was never revealed to be a cat, always under the Beast Human Clone Jutsu when Kagome showed up with her.

Lee, finished with training under Gai, had taken to fighting her as well. Her speed was blinding and caused him to strive for greater speeds, unwilling to admit defeat as she tore into him the first time.

After training, Kagome would wave to the team and head home before Neji, showering and dressing in casual jeans and tees. By the time she was done, Neji was out of the shower himself and getting dressed as well, she found out she should not walk into his room uninvited.

It was fine to see him in a towel, it was not fine when she found him pulling on his boxers.

Needless to say, neither of them talked during their date that day.

Every day, without fail, Neji had taken to buying her a meal. They took turns choosing where to go, mainly because Neji was starting to dislike fish, and soon it was known by the civilians that Neji had a girlfriend.

Tenten didn't believe a word of it. After all, Neji wouldn't go around showing off a girl.

And he really didn't, in fact, he tried to keep a low profile when in public, however, the more Kagome opened up to him, the more vibrant she became.

Today, however, was the first time she really laughed in public.

And all because some children had bumped into Neji, causing the poor boy to spill his ramen all down his front. Neji, on the other hand, was a little upset, though her laughing did calm him quite a bit.

"Koi-sama now isn't the time to go swimming!" Kagome had giggled out, dabbing a napkin to his shirt as he rolled his eyes at her.

It was the first time the public had a glimpse of how the two really interacted, as her teasing continued, Neji had grabbed his water and dumped it on her, causing her to hiss and sputter.

"Kagome-chan, it seemed you needed cooling off." Neji said with a passive face, causing her to laugh harder.

It was then that Naruto realized how much he wanted something like that.
