A/N: Kagome isn't holding a demon, that is kind of illogical since she's in Konoha. The other villages wouldn't stand for multiple demons in one city, the balance of power would be too drastically different. Inuzukas can pull characteristics from their partner, which is why they can transform into two headed dogs n such. One will supply chakra while the other utilizes it to make this happen. This is also how beast clones work: The beast takes on human characteristics. It's not permanent, and its alterable. Her having the two tails inside her would throw everything off and she'd have a whole different set of abilities that lie within the same lines of Nii Yugito, and she would have to take the character's place in the plot, thus end up dying. Which would suck o.o;; I suppose I could have replaced the two tails with Kirara, but that's been done already and I personally hate it. Kirara is not Kagome's partner, and never will be. Sango's partner was Kirara, and shall remain so ^^

ON WITH THE STORY

She didn't say anything on the way back as Neji held her hand. In fact, she was smiling quite broadly when they reached the others, though it didn't last long as she rushed forth to pick up Gin, who was on the verge of a black out.

"Stupid girl..." The cat murmured, and Kagome sighed. This was her fault, she shouldn't have pulled in all of that chakra in order to hide her feelings. It was selfish, and childish. Not that she wasn't still a child, she knew she had plenty growing to do, but still, it wasn't right.

Kagome walked over to Neji, handing the cat to him gently. "Keep her safe for me, I'm going to check on Hinata-chan." She said quietly, patting his arm. "You're going to need to apologize to her, none of this was her fault in the slightest."

Neji nodded. "Hai."

When his eyes lifted they met the angry blues of Naruto's own eyes, and saw confusion there.

Neji waited until Kagome left before striding forward to stand on the opposite side of Lee. "When I am fighting, you will take Kagome's cat." Neji told the green clad boy, who nodded.

"Hai! Where has Kagome-chan gone to?" He asked and Neji nearly winced. "Ah, Hinata-chan needs Kagome now." Lee said with a nod, crossing his arms. "She was very upset, Neji-san, I am sure you will make things right."

Neji nodded. "...Perhaps, should my temper not run off with me again." Neji said, looking down at the small cat in his arms. "If it does, you will inform her I am trying." Neji said more than asked and Lee smiled.

"Hai, I will be sure to do so!"

Behind them, leaning against the wall, Tenten huffed lightly, but Neji paid her no mind. He knew she was jealous, and had been trying to gain his attention by mimicking Kagome. Even now, the girl's hair was down and she was wearing a brown half-jacket with cream colored fur lining it. She was trying hard, but would find that he wasn't attracted to Kagome because of her looks.

At least, he hoped she did. Lee seemed certain she would understand, as well, but Neji had lingering doubts in the back of his mind.

He dismissed them as paranoia, after all, Kagome wished to befriend the girl.
