Chapter #5
By Junemama and Kistune Seirei
Blood ran down the side of Kagome's face.
She grimaced before dodging another assault of flying stars. Jumping up into the air, she dodged a series of sharp kunai. A fist missed her face by mere inches and went through the asphalt surface instead, causing an explosion of sharp rocks and concrete, that blew her into the air. Skillfully Kagome adjusted her weight and, with a quick flip, landed feet first on the top of a car.
Kagome glared across the parking lot at the fierce ninja before her. Before she could blink, the ninja's fist went passed her head; Kagome had moved just in time. The female fighter had never met a ninja who moved so fast and wondered who she was.
The ninja glared at Kagome with a personal hate, hissed in annoyance and raised her knee aiming for her stomach. The ex-champion blocked it with one hand and punched the ninja hard in the throat with the other. The ninja flew back off the car and skittered across the parking lot on her back, feeling the gritty surface bite at her bare arms and legs.
Without hesitating, Kagome flexed her hands and jumped off the car. When her feet touched the ground she took off, her fist aimed downward.
The ninja did not get up from the ground and used her legs to stop Kagome's punch. She grabbed her hand and arm with her legs, gripping them both before slamming her onto the hard concrete, over her head.
Kagome flipped onto her feet; the ninja's kick broke the asphalt where Kagome's head was.
The ex-champion counterattacked with a roundhouse kick. The ninja fell to the ground and got up in that same moment, jumping back to put distance in between them. The ninja glared at her and threw out a shower of shuriken; Kagome dodged them effortlessly.
A second later, the ninja had her clawed hand around Kagome's throat, lifting her into the air.
Near the entrance of the Hotel, people stormed out of the Meet-n-Greet cafe and lobby to see the fight. Among the excited crowd were Yusuke and Kuwabara. They stood, just watching. Only a few minutes into the fight, Yusuke could not believe his cousin was getting her ass handed to her on a silver platter.
It was crazy, yet it was happening right before his very eyes. Somehow he knew something was off; he felt it.
Kagome normally fought without weapons, even though she stayed armed. He thought her plan was not to attract attention and jumping into a fight doesn't actually keep you under the radar.
He looked at the ninja that held his cousin in the air and sensed a strange aura radiating from her.
"Who is she?" he asked.
Kuwabara looked at him and shrugged, "Beats me," he narrowed his eyes. "She looks human, but the way she moves...and her spirit energy..." he goes back to the fight.
"Yeah, I'm getting that same feeling."
Yusuke searched around looking for the others. Kurama had left as soon as the fight started, Hiei was gone too. Sakura was on the other side of the huge crowd, with Gaara and Naruto unconscious on her back. Sasuke was a few heads away from them, watching the fight silently. The last he saw of Kagome's friend, Kikyo, was when she was talking with the demon slayer after the incident.
It happen so fast, Yusuke did not fully understand how it make sense of it.
Everybody was all inside the cafe.
After getting their fighting uniforms and registering their paperwork at the front desk, the group had planned to meet Sesshomaru Taiyaisho, the owner of the Grand Tournament Hotel, in exactly one hour.
Kagome seemed fine the entire time, calm even.
At first, she was in an uproar at wearing her old uniform, with the symbol of the rat on its back.
The staff provided her with an old black entry-level uniform which brought her back to her senses.
That's when another pair of fighters had walked into the place. Kagome recognized one of them and called out to her.
The girl waved and greeted her with a smile. Yusuke knew only to two things about her.
One, her name was Sango and two; she was one of the top ten fighters in the last Grand Tournament.
Yusuke never met her in person, and noticed was cute she was. Her feminine appearance really discredited her placement as a skilled fighter. She had a small yet agile body, long beautiful hair, and soft brown eyes like chocolate. She wore a simple kimono and sandals and carried only one weapon that he knew of, a boomerang that was twice her size.
Sango was walking toward them. Then out of nowhere Kagome abruptly turned around and punched Naruto that was behind her in the stomach. Using his body as a ball, threw him at Sango. The fighter looked confused as she caught the boy and watched Kagome flee out the double doors.
There was loud explosion afterward, followed by a guy yelling, "There's a fight in the parking lot."
The whole hotel seemed to rushed out the doors all at the same time.
Yusuke's attention went back to the fight, deciding whether he should step into the fight or not.
Family should help one another, he thought.
A hairy guy called out to him, "Hey, kid. I'm putting twenty on the ninja girl. What you got?"
Yusuke smiled. Well this is the perfect time for Kagome to help me get those new fighter gloves.
"I got thirty on the newbie."
Kagome, in the borrowed entry-level uniform, spat down on the girl. The ninja in response kicked her forcefully into the that the ninja was about to kick her again as she fell back down, Kagome flipped backward in mid air. She landed away from the female ninja, and threw a pair of kunai at her.
With fast reflexes, the ninja catches them.
The female ninja blinked and looked up and down at Kagome.
"I did not realize this in the midst of our fighting, but you are a pervert," she said smirking.
Her eyes glinted and stared deep into Kagome, making the soul within her shiver.
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked.
The ninja put a finger to her mouth. "Really, Naruto? Did you have to take over this girl's body just to feel her boobs? That's a little extreme, don't you think?"
Naruto's spirit, who was in full control of his combat partner's body, looked down at it and stared at the ample flesh that stuck out like huge melons, full and bouncy under the black fabric of her fighter's uniform. His gaze returned to the girl.
"This is not what it looks like," he exclaimed pointing at Kagome's body.
She can see me? Thought Naruto surprised.
"Who are you?" Kagome's voice asked.
The girl, a ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village, smirked.
"Don't you recognize me?" she asked, staring at the ex-champion with one piercing gray eye.
Her other eye was covered by her long one-sided bang. It was an ebony color with a red tip at the end, just like the rest of her hair, which she had in a long braid down her back.
"Regardless of how thick-headed you are Naruto, you couldn't have forgotten how I beat you single-handedly in front of all your loser friends," she taunted.
Kagome's eyes narrowed, then she shouted, "Beat me? That was a tie, and you know it. I am the greatest ninja ever. Believe it! I would never lose to a shrimp like you!"
From the crowd watching the fight, Sasuke looked at Kagome with a shock expression on his face.
He felt a slight breeze and glanced at Gaara now next to him.
He was staring at the woman as well with slightly wide eyes. He had heard that too.
"She sounded just like Naruto," he heard Sakura exclaim.
Naruto was not one to lose fights and if he did lose one, it wouldn't be to a girl.
This girl is delusional, thought Naruto as he stared at the female ninja standing away from him still in fighting stance.
He looked her over. He found her face familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it. Her visible eye had turned a bright golden color and the ruby that hung around her neck sparkled as if it was catching the sun's light. A breeze picked up and pushed aside her bang, revealing a sky blue colored eye.
Naruto held his anger in check. Now was not the time to lose control. Even the tiniest slip up would cause him to lose control of the Kyuubi's chakra he borrowed to transfer himself into his combat partner. He now was inside Kagome's body, unknown to the others. Since Naruto switched their souls into each other's bodies, he knocked Kagome out so she wouldn't be aware of it either.
Naruto stared at his opponent and did not recognize her.
She wore the headband of the Hidden Leaf Village around her upper arm, but he never met her before. Naruto was sure if he had saw a ninja of such unusual features he would remembered them. This ninja was a girl of small, sturdy build and caramel colored skin. Her hair was dark and long, braided like a whip down her back, having pure crimson tips. Her golden eye burned wildly as it glared at him.
She stood still for a moment, mumbling something under her breath.
Kagome's hair rose up at the back of her neck as the ninja released a blaze of blue fire that shot out at her like a cannon blast.
She moved out of the way, cars exploded behind her.
Kagome watched the girl, circling around her anticipating where to attack next.
The strange ninja cracks her sharp claws and stares at her with mismatched eyes.
"Why are you hesitating?" asked the ninja. "Are you afraid to fight me?"
"Me afraid? You wish!" Kagome exclaimed, spotting an opening.
She stopped circling the girl and ran towards her. She caught Kagome's fist and threw her up into the air. She shifted her body weight to ready herself for a mid-air attack, but was hit in the leg with a blue blast of fire. Kagome landed on her feet in the street and fell to her knees. The fire was gone, but the white-hot pain of being burned remained.
The ninja walked up to Kagome, twirling a kunai in her hand. "You haven't even improved since our last fight. How pathetic."
Kagome glared at the ninja as she came closer.
"Naomi!" A calm but firm voice attracts everyone's attention. It came from a tall, lean man with the same colored hair as the female ninja.
Kagome looks back at her to compare her appearance to the new stranger, then realized that she was standing still with her head down.
The man walked up to her, lifted up her chin and pushed aside her bang. Seeing that both eyes were gray once again, he steps back. "Okay, explain yourself Nao."
"Come on, Kai. Can I spar a little before the competition?" She walked past him towards the Hotel's cafe stopping just before Kagome. "See you in the tournament, Naruto." She winked and went into the cafe, followed by the man.
Naruto watched as the ninjas walked back into the Hotel, burning with anger. First, at the fact that he had lost and second, that their fight had ended so soon. He clenched his fists, ready to storm after the girl and demand a rematch, damned the rules.
The crowd had receded back into the Hotel, once the fight was over.
It left Naruto surrounded by friends, yet with the way they were glaring at him, one would believed they were ready to beat him to a pulp.
"Naruto," called a voice.
Naruto turned around and Sakura punched him in the face. "What the hell were you thinking?"
Sasuke grabbed her shoulder. "Easy, Sakura! That's still Kagome-sama's body."
"I know that!" she yelled, she brushed his hand off her, and grabbed Naruto by the front of his shirt.
Naruto gulped as blazing emerald eyes glared right through him. "Get out of there, this instant," she ordered.
"What?"
"Dammit Naruto, you know soul transferring is against the rules!"
Naruto stared at her with a blank look. "Oh."
"Get away from her!"
There was a loud snapping noise, and a flash of white.
Sakura screamed clutching her broken wrist. She jumped around from the demon in front of her.
Naruto raised his head, and looked at the tall demon in front of him. There was a dead silence.
"What the hell do you think you're doing to my Kagome?" he hissed, glaring at Sakura.
"That's not Kagome, that's-"
"Shut up. I know her scent anywhere. She's mine."
His glare was aimed at everybody, especially the male fighters that surronded him.
"What are you talking about?" asked Naruto.
Kagome's voice sounded so sweet and innocent to the demon's ears.
The white-haired demon turned, and looked down at the beautiful girl before him.
The wind blew a soft breeze that went through everybody's hair. Kagome's eyes were bright and blue looking up expectly at the demon.
In turn, the demon took a deep breath to focus all of his courage on this final act. Everybody watched as the man grabbed Kagome's shoulders and stared deep into her eyes.
"Kagome, I joined the tournament so I could be with you. Now I understand why you did not want to have a boyfriend...why you didn't want me. You were just scared that your fighting career would get in the way of a serious relationship. Well it won't, because I'm right here," said Inuyasha.
Kagome's eyes widen.
I know this guy! He's that dog that I fought during my last mission, thought Naruto.
"I know you're suprised. This is probably new to you but Kagome-"
"Hold on, buddy, I wouldn't-" Sakura tried to say, but it was too late.
"I love you," he proclaimed before planting a solid, full on, heated kiss upon her mouth.
All Kagome's ears could pick up was the sound of Yusuke's laughter, as the spirit within it screamed for release and her body reacted the best way it knew how: crumbling onto the ground.
