When she realized he was chasing after her, she was already in the hall. She turned, hissing loudly at him, her eyes a yellow-green in color. She had pulled a lot of chakra from Gin this time.

Her ears were even beginning to point.

"How dare you!" She snarled, reaching out and grabbing his shirt, throwing him into the nearest wall. "How dare you! I do not care if you kill. I do not care if you're an ass." Her fangs snapped as she talked, and her eyes glowed in the low light as she yelled in his face. "You never, ever, come at my friends with the intent to kill! She. Is. Mine!"

"You do not understand!" Neji yelled back. "It's because of them-!" She pulled him back and slammed him against the wall again, causing him to gasp in pain.

"What? That she's not the one responsible? That she was a child when everything happened? Just as you were! That the curse mark was something she was hoping to be rid of once she became head?" Kagome threw him to the ground, harshly. "You're the one who knows nothing, Neji Hyuuga." Fresh tears ran down her face as she looked down on him. "You acted like this knowing it would hurt me. Tell me one reason I shouldn't leave you now."

"You were going to anyway." Neji snapped back, suddenly angry as he stood. "As soon as Uchiha started talking to you, you-!"

"You did not listen to the conversation, Neji." She hissed out, clenching her hands until they bled. "I told him you would treat me right! That includes trusting me! Like I trusted you! I trusted you to stop the fight if it went too far!" A sob escaped her and she pulled in more of Gin's chakra. The cat would probably pass out if she pulled more than this. The crying ceased, but Kagome gained cat ears and a tail, her eyes almost completely golden now.

"I told him I could never be with him. Now, I ask you again, give me one reason I should stay by your side, Neji Hyuuga."

He remained silent, unable to come up with something—anything! She saw the look in his eyes, they were desperate. He was trying to grab something logical, anything that could make her stay.

Her jaw clenched. "Neji Hyuuga, consider our engagement terminated." Her eyes hardened. "I will tell the Hokage I will accept the infiltration training. At least there I can expect betrayal." She turned her back to him and began to walk away. He reached out, grabbing her tail.

"You can't." He said, pulling lightly. "Don't do this, Kagome." He watched as her shoulders sagged.

"If I don't go now you'll just hurt me again." She whimpered out, her tail and ears fading as the hostility left her.

"I won't." Neji said, grabbing her wrist. "I swear I won't."

Her knees gave out from underneath her. "You will." She sobbed out and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to him.

"I'm sorry, Kagome." He said and Kagome's sobs became louder.

"It's not me you should say that to! She's been working so hard!" Kagome cried out, weakly hitting him with her fists. "You stupid, stupid boy!"

"I'll apologize to her, too, just...don't leave." He said, burying his face into her hair. "I may be in love with you." He said quietly and she stiffened.

"You..." She wrapped her arms around him. "You're such a jerk!" She cried.

"Hai."

"I'm still going to beat you to a pulp, later." Kagome sniffled, and Neji smiled against her shoulder.

"I'll stand there and take it, if you like." Neji said, pulling a handkerchief from his pocket and handing it to her to wipe her face. She took it and dabbed at her nose and eyes, sniffling.

"Jerk."

"So you've said."

"Did you mean it?" She asked, looking up at him with teary blue eyes.

Neji nodded. "I'm not completely sure, I've never even had a crush before. If it's not love it is definitely a strong infatuation." Neji said, truthfully. He smiled softly. "I've even had a few nightmares of you running off with the Uchiha." He told her and she laughed.

"He's too revenge crazy to care for me as more than just a breeder, Koi-sama." She said, leaning forward and placing a small kiss on his cheek.

Neji blushed, but still smiled. "Kagome..."

"Hai?" She asked as she folded his handkerchief, placing it in her pocket to wash later.

"I would like to kiss you." He said and she smiled almost shyly. She'd only kissed Kiba before, and even then it was caused by the heat.

"Alright...but we have to talk later about Uchiha, I have some things to tell you...if you're a good boy..." The last part was almost whispered as he leaned in.

"Hai.." With that he captured her lips with his, happy that her mouth opened easily for him. She tasted sweet and spicy all at the same time. Her tongue glided over his and fought for dominance, but he was not going to give in. She was soon flat on her back on the ground, her hands fisted in the back of his shirt while one of his traveled her spine and the other tugged at her hair roughly. She arched against him as he pulled, forcing her to open her mouth more to him. Slowly, he released her, panting.

She looked up at him with sapphire eyes, blushing as he licked his lips. She smiled up at him, licking her own.

"Tasty." She said, and he chuckled.

"Agreed."

Her hands slide from his back to his shoulders as he sat up, forcing him to carry her with him. He blushed as she straddled him once he was sitting up.

"Kagome.." He said and she grinned.

"Promise me you'll tell Hinata you're sorry." She said and he nodded.

"Hai."

"And that you'll stop worrying about me running off with Uchiha, because, really, it's gross." Kagome whined, pouting. He nodded.

"Hai, I'll try my best."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Seriously, I can never marry him. Ever. If I did we'd have mutant babies!" Kagome said, dramatically waving her arms about.

Neji raised an eyebrow.

She shook her head. "I can't tell you here, no one else can know."

"Aa."

"Neji?"

"Hn."

"Kiss me again." She purred and he complied happily.
