Miko Lost Then Found
Chapter 2
Trust and Training
Kagome felt cold, darkness pressing in on all sides. A figure appeared before her, a man with shining silver hair and a dark blue crescent moon. Kagome's bright eyes widened. "Sesshomaru." she whispered trembling. Kagome tried to get up, but was held down, she struggled against the invisible chains that held her down. "Sesshomaru!" Kagome cried. Sesshomaru turned and started to walk away, his black boots making no sound on the floor.
"No, come back! Don't leave me Don't go! Don't leave me alone!" she screamed tears running down her pale face. Kagome woke up staring up at the ceiling, a bright white light hanging above. Her body was slightly cold, and the heart was beating faster then usual. She squinted bringing her hand out in front of her face to block the light. Kagome sat up slightly, chained to the table with both hands locked in place.
She looked around, she was in an empty room with 3 granite walls surrounding her, and the 4th was a large window.
A wooden door was in front of her. Kagome tensed as the door opened revealing a man with a tough expression who looked to be in his late teens, wearing a green vest and blue pants with a black, leaf village headband covering his head. Kagome glared, her eyes piercing him. "Release me!" She said in a commanding tone. Ibiki shuddered mentally. "What do you want? She asked angrily. "Why am I here? Kagome clenching her tied hands. The man sighed wishing he could just be home in bed instead of here this early in the morning.
"Kagome, I'm sorry to put you through this but before you can be submitted to the hidden leaf village as a citizen, we must check to see if you are a spy from another village."
Kagome blinked, listening to the man explanation. "How do I know I can, trust you? She said slowly, becoming suspicious. A knock on the glass made them both look up. Kagome saw Tsunade and Shizune on the other side. "Kagome, I'm really sorry but, it is what every body has to go through to join the village. I'm sure many other villages do the same thing." Tsunade called smiling, trying to lighten the mood.
Kagome studied the man for a moment, considering whether to trust him or not.
Kagome motioned for the man too come forward, giving a nod of her head. "Just get it over with." "Oh before I go any further, my name is Ibiki." He did a few hand signs and then placed a hand on her head. He suddenly was stopped with a barrier which came down as Kagome relaxed, thoughts and emotions overcame his thoughts. He went through memories, shifting through them trying not to stay in one to long. That last one he saw was of a man dying and her crying out. He blinked, touched by this even though he was used to such things. He then released the ninjutsu he had placed on her.
"All clear." Ibiki stated, nodding toward Tsunade and Shizune who were waiting behind the glass.
Ibiki took a key out and unlocked the chains around Kagome's hands, and thanked her for cooperating. He led her out, and handed back her weapons that she hadn't realized had been taken from her.
Tsunade and Shizune, with Kagome following behind, headed out of the building.
"Let me show you around the village." said Tsunade turning around. First we can go to the sweet shop and get something to eat." Kagome nodded. They pointed out different signs and places on the way. "That is the faces of the Hokages on the rock." stated Shizune pointing toward a wall with faces carved into them. Kagome thought that they were almost as advanced as her time, glancing around and spotted a TV sitting on a counter in a little shop.
Kagome followed the others into a sweet shop with a sign shaped like a dumpling. They all ordered some tea and a few snacks. Each in their own thoughts, they ate quietly. "Kagome, lets go to the hot springs. It will relax your body." Tsunade said, looking up at Kagome. She nodded and stood up. When they arrived they were welcomed by the staff who gave them free towels.
They stepped into the changing room and got undressed. She saw a mirror opposite of her, she looked closely at her face when she noticed her eyelids had changed.
"It must be the demonic markings. I wonder why only that part showed." She wondered into the next room. Kagome tried to relax as she got into the hot steaming pool. The warm water felt so good, she dipped her head fully under the water enjoying the sensation it brought to her toned skin and muscles. She sat there for a few minuets, enjoying it. Music started to play around the hot spring.
Are you aware of what you
make me feel, baby?
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm
not real...
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you?
Why'd
you turn away?
Here's what I have to say...
I was left to
cry there, waiting outside there
Grinnin' with a lost
stare,
That's when I decided...
Why should I care?
'Cause
you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone...
You, you
need to listen!
I'm startin' to trip,
I'm losin' my grip
And
I'm in this thing alone...
Am I just some chick you placed
beside you,
To take somebody's place?
When you turn around can
you recognize my face..?
You used to love me, you used to hug
me
But that wasn't the case,
Everything wasn't okay..
Kagome clenched her hands for a second, a image of Inuyasha popped into her head. She bit her lip as she saw scenes flicker in font of her mind's eye.
I was left to cry
there
Waiting outside there
Grinnin' with a lost stare,
thats
when i decided...
Why should I care?
'Cause you weren't
there when I was scared,
I was so alone
You, you need to
listen
I'm startin' to trip
I'm losin' my grip
And I'm in
this thing alone
Cryin' out loud
I'm cryin' out
loud
Cryin' out loud
I'm cryin' out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide
Why should I care
'Cause you weren't there
when I was scared,
I was so alone
Why should I
care
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared,
I was so
alone
Why should I care?
If you don't care, then I don't care
We're not going anywhere
Why should I care?
'Cause you
weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I
care?
If you don't care, then I don't care
We're not goin
anywhereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

"He left, and I moved forward, I will teach him that I am nothing like Kikyo." she whispered angrily. Kagome came back to the present again clearing away the memories from the past.
She heard Tsunade and Shizune get in as she lifted up her head, hot water splashed the sides of the hot springs. Kagome sighed, as Tsunade started to tell her about their world and ninja way. "– the fire country seems to be one of the most powerful. There are many families in the leaf village, which are clans. Then she explained what each clan and who they are. "The Uchiha and Hyuuga clans are the most respected and highest out of all. Now, the ninja weapons are shuriken and kunai." Lady Tsunade continued walking over to her clothes left in a pile and holding up the weapons. Kagome nodded watching as she explained how to throw them and hold them.
"Here." smiled Tsunade holding both weapons up so Kagome could take them.
Kagome grasped them feeling the cool metal against her fingers. Suddenly she looked up narrowing her blue eyes at the innocent wall of bamboo wood opposite her. She sensed eyes upon her; a high chakra level was behind the wood or energy level as Tsunade put it. Kagome acted fast hiding her body under the water, as she threw the now blue glowing kunai (chakra from Kagome) at the place where the creepy aura was coming from.
Tsunade and Shizune sensed it to looking up in surprise as they saw the glowing kunai fly past them and hit the wood making it splinter and break showing a person just in time getting out of the way(Who is it? :D) of the blue glowing kunai. As the dust cleared Kagome saw a man with white hear shuddering in fear. "Jiraya!" growled the enraged blonde. "PERVERT!!" yelled Tsunade bringing her fist up to punch Jiraya in the jaw and making him soar back 30 feet, as Kagome and Shizune quickly dried off and got dressed.
Of coarse no one felt sympathy for the man, who was groaning in pain. They all glared at him as the man, who called himself Jiraya, got up. "Whew, that was close." a sighing Jiraya, said in relief. He made up some excuses saying he was finishing up a research on his book.
Then he turned around looking at Kagome and walking up to her and asked. "What's your name? I have never seen you around the village before, winking at Kagome. "My name is Kagome. My sensei is Lady Tsunade."
Jiraya eyes widened in surprise. "Tsunade has taken on an apprentice?!! She would never do something like that that easy unless she volunteered or was forced too by the Hokage. This girl seems to be pretty fast plus, she seems to be the most beautiful woman, I have ever seen. Maybe I'll make my character look like her" He thought looking at Tsunade and back to Kagome. She certainly has the right body like Tsunade, staring at Kagome who was now ignoring him, walking out as she followed her mistress. Every woman, even older would kill to have that flawless and curvy body. Jiraya walked out, heading to the bar to right some notes down and break the 3 shinobi rules. What man could resist pretty woman, money and sake? Definitely not him.
The 3 woman then finished the tour, each in their own thoughts.
"Kagome certainly is amazing, she has never thrown a kunai before, but hit it right on the mark. I wonder if that blue chakra was the spiritual energy, I have heard her talk about. I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes a prodigy and becomes an ANBU in a few years." Tsunade thought. She led them to clearing and started to show her the hand signs and different styles of justus and stances needed for it. Over the next couple of day she helped Kagome memorize the hand signs and gave her some scrolls to look over that talked about Konoha and the birth of shinobi. It had every answer you could think of in there.
Within the first month Kagome had created a simple Bunshin no Jutsuand gotten used to using her chakra. Kagome worked hard, spending most of the day training. In the mornings she would practice her archery, weapon throwing and chakra control. In the evenings she would relax and meditate and read scrolls. Her knowledge grew and as she spent more time with her master. Only one thing was keeping her going, her dream. That dream lay in the past not the future. To see her beloved Sesshomaru again, was her only goal, but she didn't tell Lady Tsunade that.
Kagome experimented one day with Tensaiga on a dead mouse she had found by a river.
Kagome unsheathed the sword from her right hip and placed it over the mouse and waited.
Kagome saw little grey demons placing chains on the dead mouse, probably to bind and take the soul away, Kagome guessed. "Hopefully this will work. Here it goes." She held her breath and sliced thought the demons dissolving them. Her dark blue eyes widened as she saw the mouse's tiny sides start to rise up and down taking in air, as much as it could breathe in. Kagome said, "This truly is a wonderful gift, smiling for once she placed it back in sheath, and spun around walking away. Taking out her kunai she flung them all lighting speed at each target lined up, hitting them dead center. Kagome took her last one turned and aimed flinging it backwards hitting the bulls eye on the last target. Kagome smirked, as she picked up her weapons and headed home.
A year later she becomes a chunin. Passing the exam was like a breeze to her. All her missions were successful and she quickly rose in rank, to become a Captain ANBU under the Hokage. Sometimes she associated with the others but she liked to work alone. Kakashi hit on her quite a few times, getting quite jealous at any man who came to close. In the end he finally gave up trying to win her, she turned down every guy and ignored them if they weren't of importance. He considered it a gift to even look or talk to her. For that he was thankful. Only the jonin and ANBU knew that Kagome was immortal, but that was it. Other information was strictly confidential only between The Hokage and Kagome mistress Tsunade and Shizune.
Orochimaru's Lair
"Yes… I finally found what I was looking for." A pleased Orochimaru grinned. Glancing over the neatly scrawled calligraphy on an ancient looking scroll he picked it up and looked it over "The Guardian of the Shikon prophecy." He read aloud his voice bouncing across the big cold room. "Interesting." His yellow eyes glowing in the light of a lantern hung above his bed. The Guardian is a girl. He read the prophecy (which will be introduced in the later chapter) and stared at a picture.
It showed a painting of a very beautiful woman adorned in black robe with a red obi around her waist holding a bow. Dark tresses spilled out over her shoulders and dark blue eyes with sad somewhat lonely face with a golden circlet upon her head. Orochimaru looked at it greedily, lust rising from within his body, stirring up feelings from within. He ran his tongue over his lips thoughts swirling around inside his head. "This woman will be needed later on." He thought, placing the scroll beside his bed and closing his eyes.
2 years later
Kagome left the village to wander about helping out people and learning new justus. But people couldn't help but wonder why she left so abruptly, her personality had changed a cool somewhat cold demeanor on her outside. A few days earlier the Uchiha clan had been murdered by Itachi Uchiha. Tsunade and Shizune had already left a few months earlier to go gambling at many casinos (AN: Didn't see that coming did you? : P).
Sasuke's P.O.V
A boy sat above a bridge over a lake in the middle of Konoha park. He thought of his family thinking things over. Sasuke looked into the water seeing his own expression staring back at him. He glared at it as soon as he saw an image of his brother come to mind. "I hate you brother, just as you said. I will get my revenge. He thought as he jumped into the water. Mom, Dad I wish you were here. I will make Itachi PAY for what he has done!"
7 years later
Chunin Exams (Rookie9 are around 14)
A stadium of ecstatic fans cheered. All of them were waiting for the match that would finally reach the climax of the events. "And now the final match, Sasuke vs. Gaara! It is about to begin in five minuets!" the proctor, Genma said.
The Hokages sitting above watched. "Lord Hokage" Lady Kagome has just arrived; it has been quite along time since we last saw her." The black hooded ANBU said. "Indeed, it has." said the 3rd Hokage smiling, happy at how things were going. Of coarser he could tell it was Kagome, because little alarms were going off inside hiss head because of the enormous spiritual pressure coming towards him. Both Kages, and also all the ninja's turned their heads as the door opened. A figure stepped forward. The light bouncing off the black fire rat cloak with a golden crescent moon printed on the back (her cloak is reversible with the white on the other side). The hooded figure bowed to the Hokage and stood beside him. The hood hid the face so you couldn't make out who it was.
"Kagome?" Kakashi thought as he looked up toward the top of the stadium. Kurenai and Asuma looked up too. "That chakra is unbelievable." Said Kurenai watching the hooded figure talk to the Hokage. "That's Kagome for you." Said Kakashi placing the book face down on his lap. "They gasped. Kakashi hardly ever put his book down. The silver-haired shinobi just sweat dropped. Sasuke and Gaara also glanced up at the stadium. Gaara shivered involuntarily, his sand spirit seemed just a little nervous. Gaara narrowed his eyes. Sasuke looked at the figure he saw a pair of eyes connect with his beneath the hood of the person. He looked away, trying to concentrate on the battle at hand. He ignored Sakura and Ino who were cheering for him. "The proctor signaled for it to begin. Sasuke moved toward Gaara, strength building into his speed. "I will beat him." He thought.
P.O.V changes to Kagome.
(Kagome's in the Henge no jutsu which makes her look younger about 14) she doesn't want people to ask questions of why her appearance hadn't changed. She is trying to make it look like she is getting older)
Kagome glanced toward the Kazekage and then forward again, his appearance didn't fool her, and she knew Orochimaru was underneath that disguise. Kagome could sense evil intentions brewing inside of the ninja. "What's he planning?" she thought. Kagome froze as her gaze landed on one of the genin below. The onyx eyes stared back at her, that face…. Kagome's eyes broke contact with him as the boy Sasuke turned away. The proctor signaled for the match to begin. Kagome waited through most of the match to see what would happen. Then she felt a terrible blood thirstiness come from the sand genin down below. She acted quickly as she saw the chidori and Sasuke slash through the dome like defense. In a blink of an eye Kagome pulled out her bow and notched a golden arrow into the string, took aim, pulled back and fired. The glowing arrow hit the sand ball making it explode. Sand flew in all directions. Gaara thought, "How did she penetrate my shield with just an arrow!! Sasuke eyes widened at what had just happened. "Who did that?" He looked up staring into the piercing blue depths of a girl. Everyone looked up at the figure, which let down her hood. A face appeared making everyone gasp. A very beautiful dark haired girl with a circlet had fired the arrow. She then said out loud for most to hear. "Stop the match I fear something is quite wrong. Things aren't always as they appear isn't that right …Orochimaru?" Kagome turned toward the now stiff kazekage face.
"That's right." said the snake sannin's voice. Kabuto thought it was a good time to act; he placed a genjutsu on everyone who was in the stands. The Kazekage took this as the cue for action. Suddenly a smoke bomb appeared, creating a cloud of smoke, screams were heard as the ninja leapt into action. It cleared making the ninja gasped.
