Chapter 6-Explaining Once Again

After walking through the door to another room, Kagome found Sasuke in one corner of the room while Itachi was in another corner. They were glaring at each other. Kagome knew that she couldn't even leave them alone for more than a few minutes without them trying to kill each other. Sasuke didn't know why the clan was killed yet and thought Itachi was still a murderer.

"All right now, Sasuke, what do you want to know?" asked Kagome as she went to stand beside Itachi.

"Who are you really? How can you stay near him when he killed everyone that he once cared about?!" said Sasuke.

Something was going on with Sasuke. He didn't know why, but he wanted her near him and away from his brother. He started feeling something strange inside him when he first met her a few days ago. They were both the same in more ways than one.

He heard laughter from across the room. He saw that it came from the little girl next to his brother. Sasuke looked confused when he heard this. He didn't say anything worth laughing at…did he?

"What is so funny?" asked Sasuke. "I didn't say anything funny. I just asked you some questions."

"Actually, you did ask something funny," said Kagome once she calmed down. Sasuke looked at her still confused. "Let me explain. If Itachi didn't care for you, he would have killed you as well. In fact, he cared about you a lot to let you live all those years ago."

"If he cared about me, then why did he leave? Why did he kill everyone?" asked Sasuke.

"I guess I should explain now. Kagome, you might want to go over to another part of the room," said Itachi. She left to go stand by the doorway. She heard what was happening outside the door.

"I think you should know that the kitsune kid won his match. Sesshomaru is up now. He's going against Kaguya. This match is going to be very quick," said Kagome.

"Thanks for the info Kags," said Itachi. He looked over at Sasuke. "Now then, the reason why I killed the clan was because Father wanted you to be just like me. I couldn't let that happen.

"What he wanted you to do was all the training that I did. What he was after was another version of me."

"Believe me. One Itachi is enough for the Uchiha clan. Plus, his training was more advanced for you. You would never have a life if you were to take his training schedule," said Kagome.

"Kagome Higurashi," said Itachi as he stared at her.

"Yes Itachi? Did I hurt your feelings with what I said?" asked Kagome in a teasing voice.

While Itachi and Kagome were talking, Sasuke was watching with interest. Kagome was teasing his brother with his feelings being hurt. He knew that Itachi's training was harsh and that Kagome was right. Itachi hardly had enough time for his friends and family since he was always on missions.

Sasuke looked at Kagome and studied her. He wondered how she knew about his brother's training. Then he remembered that she was with him for the last four or five years. He also remembered that Itachi had taken her with him after he killed the clan. He saw something in Itachi and Kagome's eyes that seemed identical, but he dismissed the thought of them actually being together.

"Are you saying that I don't have a life? If you remember correctly, I was either busy training you or on missions Inu Taisho gave me," said Itachi. He looked at Sasuke. "Are there any more questions?"

"Why did you train her?" asked Sasuke. The thought that came earlier was back when he heard what his brother said.

The time Kagome answered. "My clan was made up of mikos and monks. My parents started to train me, but then we were attacked by Orochimaru. He killed everyone except me. I was able to leave before he could find me. Later on I was brought to the Hyuuga clan. Naraku and Neji are my adoptive brother, but that was a long time ago."

"How does this answer my question?" asked Sasuke.

"Be quiet, you insolent brother of mine. You must know her past to understand why," said Itachi. (A/N- I think he spends to much time with Sesshomaru. What do you think?)

"You see, my clan was destroyed before my miko abilities were under control. I ran into Itachi and he volunteered to help me. I had some control but not completely.

"I knew that he didn't know anything about mikos, but he did help me out a lot. I was able to have complete control within two years. It usually took the other mikos about four or five years," said Kagome. "Does that answer your questions now?"

"Yes, but what was that jewel that Itachi put back in your pocket? How come Naruto and that Inuyasha kid reacted to it?" asked Sasuke.

"Inuyasha reacted to it? I thought he would be used to it by now. It's been about four or five years since they knew. Can you tell him about the reaction?" said Kagome.

"Sure Kagome, but he needs to know about that jewel," said Itachi. He was watching Sasuke's reaction to all this information.

Sasuke's face was the same except for the fact that he knew something was up. Itachi knew that he was putting Sasuke at risk of being killed. Of course, there weren't any demons around in the village, but there might be some surrounding the village some time soon.

"Fine, but you better be ready to protect him with your life. I don't want anyone dead on my watch," said Kagome.

"Kags, you do know that you killed Kagura, right?" said Itachi. "When we get back home, we'll have a lot of explaining to do. We'll have to explain things first with Inu-sama and then to the head of the Onigumo family."

"Yeah, but I'll have to come up with a better excuse for killing her and Orochimaru. He might not be completely dead, but he's gone for now," said Kagome. She looked over at the young Uchiha. "The jewel that you saw is called the Shikon No Tama or Jewel of Four Souls. My older sister was the guardian, but she and the rest of the clan died. Since I'm the only one left, I have to guard it."

"The reason why Inuyasha and that Naruto kid reacted to it was because the jewel calls demons to come seek its power. Inuyasha happens to be a half-demon. Sesshomaru is a full dog demon," said Itachi.

"How come Naruto and Gaara were affected?" asked Sasuke.

While listening to this, Sasuke was wondering how the others were doing. He didn't really care what happened, but he didn't want to lose anyone else in the village. He already lost his clan.

"Kagome, do you know anything about that?" asked Itachi.

"Actually, no. I think it might have something to do with the demons inside of them. The kitsune wanted the jewel to probably get out of Naruto, but I don't think so. The fox would've found me when I was younger to get the jewel," said Kagome.

"Then what about that sand-nin?" asked Sasuke. "What do you mean by the nine tail could've found you when you were young?"

"Gaara also has a demon inside of him. He had the demon known as Shukaku. Gaara had enough power already, but was curious as to what his demon wanted. He was losing some control of Shukaku while the jewel was still out," said Kagome. "That's the only thing I could come up with."

"Now that you know about that, is there anything else you wanted to know?" asked Itachi.

"Where have you been? How come you never came back her after you killed everyone?" asked Sasuke.

"I'll let you handle this one. I'm going to go check on Inuyasha and Sesshomaru," said Kagome. She left the room leaving the two Uchihas alone.

"I have been in another village, but this is my first year as being a jonin. I was an ANBU until Kagome and the other two graduated from the academy there," said Itachi. "As to why I didn't return, I didn't' want you to kill me without at least listening to me first."

"You could have told someone to restrain me if you found me. I'm sure Kakashi-sensei would have made me listen," said Sasuke. "How come you're a jonin instead of an ANBU?"

"No one in the village could handle Kagome's power. Like she said before, she is a miko who holds the jewel. I doubt Kakashi would hold you for very long," said Itachi. He turned towards the door that Kagome went through. "We better return to the battlefield before someone thinks we killed each other."

Sasuke agreed. He walked out the room after Itachi and found both Sakura and Ino batting each other. He turned towards Kagome and the others. She was currently healing Sesshomaru's wounds that held a little bit more blood coming out then usual.

When Kagome came out the room, Sesshomaru had won his match due to killing Kaguya. Now they had to report to Inu-sama on two or three deaths. Two deaths happened to be in the same family. There was only one daughter left of the Onigumo family.

Itachi watched everything that was going on between Sasuke and Kagome. He thought of taking Kagome as his own, but he never could because she was surrounded by her friends. He might have a chance when this exam was finally over and she just go to ANBU rank like him. (A/N-That is Itachi…not Sasuke. This is just to let you know.)

He made plans to have her as his partner when she would finally become an ANBU.
