*Kagome's POV*

"*cough* were you that upset, Kakashi?"

The fire died down immediately. Rin was helping me walk towards the shocked group outside. Funny. I think they'd be gone by now. For some reason, a pink barrier was surrounding us, and I was exausted. We were both covered in ashes, but other than that, we were perfectly fine.

"Kagome...Rin..." Obito's eyes were watering.

I gave him a sheepish smiled a and noticed Kakashi staring at me in disbelief.

"Yeah we're safe" I laughed. I was so funny thinking I died. Yeah right. Like I would be taken down by a fire

"Baka!" Kakashi ran up and hugged me.

I couldn't be mad at him, because Rin and I made him worry so much. I slowly lifted my arms up and hugged him back.

"You're so reckless" he whispered

I managed a smile. "I guess thats what makes me special"

I cherished the short moment, and reluctantly pulled away.

"We better get going" I finally said after they got over the shock of Rin and I being trapped in the fire.

"See ya!" I held a hand up in the air and walked away casually. Halfway at my house, I decided not to bother anymore, so I did a teleportation jutsu and ended up in my room.

Plopping on the bed, I got out a book and started reading. I started to get tired, and accidentally fell asleep. Of course, I only found out in the morning though.

"Kagome! Third chunin exams begins tomorrow!" My mom yelled

"got it!" I replied, brushing my hair.

Teleporting to the training grounds, I saw my friend Mitarashi Anko.

"Hey!" I chirped

She smiled "bubbly as ever"

I then asked a stupid question "Are you training for tomorrow?"

"I was" she corrected "I have to go now. Bye!"

Kakashi's POV

I woke up to the sound of tapping on my window, but strangely, no one was there.

"Hey Kakashi!"

I looked outside to see...Anko...

"What do you want?"

"Do you know when Kagome's birthday is?"

"Um...why?"

"I want to throw a surprise party for her! What? You didn't think that I am a no caring friend do you?"

I closed my eyes shook my head. "No not at all"

"so will you help me?"

"Sure. September 24"

Anko's face brightened. "I'll tell everyone...when I say everyone I mean Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, Shizune...How about Itachi?"

Itachi has looked up to Kagome for kami knows how long. I could have sworn he had a small crush on her...though she was a little older than him. But its possible right? I shook my head. Why did this bother me so much?

"I think we should tell Minato-sensei and Kushina-san first" I spoke up

"Yeah sure okay! Keep in mind, her birthday is three days after the chunin exams and we're all going to pitch in and help" with that, she left

You never see Anko excited for anything else except her dangos.

I decided to go train for the chunin exams, so I slipped on some clothes and jumped out my window. Yeah. Totally normal. At the training grounds, I ended up seeing Kagome fighting...Asuma, Kurenai, and Gai.

"What's the deal?" I shouted

"Chunin exams...duh" Kagome said that like I was stupid.

"I call Kurenai's team!"

"Hey!"

I smiled under my mask, of course they couldn't see it.

A few hours later, we were all tired and sitting down.

"Tired Kagome?" I teased

She scowled "shut up! You're tired too ya know?!"

"Agh! You were too rough on us!" I heard Asuma complain.

Thats the problem...she's was going too easy. I noticed that she was ANBU level strong. Possibly the strongest shinobi in the land of fire. I glanced at Kagome to see her laughing with Kurenai and pushing away Gai as he attempted to get her on a date with him. I saw Asuma staring at the sky.

"Hey Asuma" I whispered

"What?" He looked towards me

"When we leave, tell Kurenai and Gai that Anko and I planned to give Kagome a surprise party three days after the chunin exams."

He raised an eyebrow "really"

I scowled "what? I cant be nice?"

"No. It's just that you're hostile"

I was angry, but instead I stomped away like a child. I could hear him chuckling behind me.

Kagome's POV

I was nearly out of breath. Kurenai kept telling me these really akward jokes and I just couldn't help but laugh.

"Kagome-chan!"

I put my hand out and summoned chakra into it. With a swing, I punched Gai into a rock, and left an imprint in it. His eyes were now crying streams of tears. I liked Gai, but as a friend. He just makes things weird, and now I see him as an annoying pest. Great Gai. Now you just made me think negativily about you.

"Its 6..." Kurenai mumbled

"Six?!" I shouted. I needed to get home immedieately. My mom cooks dinner around that time, so if I miss dinner, she will get MAD. "I REALLY have to go now. Bye!" I teleported to the dinner table, startling my mom.

"You scared me, ya know?!" She hit me on the head.

"Itai..."

"Uh..haha...just dont teleport to the table again okay?" My dad said

"Okay" I mumbled

My mom poured a some soup into a bowl and handed it to me. I reached for a spoon, and set it by my bowl "Itadakimasu!" I ate some of my soup. It tasted so good! I ate faster until in about thirty seconds, the bowl was empty. I looked up and saw my father staring at me with wide eyes. I grinned and asked my mom if I could have more.

"Sure" she laughed and handed me another bowl.

I could have sworn I ate about five bowls until I was full. "Ahh that was good" I said sighing and patting my stomach.

"I'll clean up" my dad scooped up the bowls and my mom wiped the table.

"Thanks!" I called out, running upstairs.

I then plopped down on my bed. Tomorrow is the day it all starts. I will be fighting against a random person...meh. I'm so tired. I tried to close my eyes and get some rest, but I can't! Frustrated, I threw my pillow in a wall with force. Hm...maybe I should just go on the roof. I summoned chakra into my feet, went out of the window and walked up to the roof. I like it up here. It makes me comfortable and I can call it a place of my own. I saw the sky turning a baby blue to a soft orange. I laid down, closing my eyes and breathed in the cool air. I could tell that I was loosing myself in the dark.

"Hey"

I opened an eye. It was...what? 7? What I saw nearly toppled me over.

"Obito?!"

"Hi" he gave me a smile

"What are yo doing here?!"

"Um...you were late so-"

"LATE?!"

"Yeah...its 10"

"Ten...?"

I was angry. No one came to wake me up, and I'm late. I went down to my room, changed, and went back to the roof in the matter of two minutes. I came back seeing a confused Obito.

"Come on" I growled, and grabbed his hand dragging him along with me.

Obito's POV

She grabbed my hand and pulled me along with her. I blushed. Why was I doing that? She's my best friend...also kind, sweet (sometimes), energetic, funny, pretty...woah...I...like her. To be honest I actually got pretty jealous that Kakashi was the one who hugged her when she survived the fire. I used to like Rin...now...I shook my head. I couldn't hug her anymore. Not after I made her lose her memories. It crushed me that she didn't remember all the fun times we had as a team. She stopped suddenly and bumped into her. She elbowed me.

"Ow" I moaned

"Watch it" she hissed.

I looked to see Kakashi and Rin staring at us.

"You have a tendency to be late Kagome..." Kakashi frowned

Kagome scowled "So why did we have a team meating?"

"Sensei and Kushina-san said they had something to tell us." Rin said

"You're late ya know?!"

We turned to see Kushina-san with her arms folded and sensei standing besides her.

"Anyways, guess what?!"

Kushina-san looked pretty excited.

"what is it?!" I asked curious and excited.

"Minato's going to be the Yondaime Hokage!"

Kagome's POV

My jaw dropped. "Yondaime Hokage?!" I asked in disbelief.

"Yep!" my mom replied happily "oh and i'm pregnent guys"

Kakashi and Obito's eyes widened. I tirned to Rin and saw her eyes litterally sparkling.

"Name? Due date?!"

I laughed inwardly. Her reaction was the same as mine when I first found out.

"Naruto and October 10" my mom said laughing. "The ceremony for Minato is after the Chunin exams, so be ready!" She walked off with dad to our house. "That it guys, now hurry up and get to the exams. It starts in twenty minutes!"

"...shoot" I mumbled.

I gasped for breath.

"This is who you will be fighting" our proctor said.

He showed us a list. I was the first to battle...lets see...Mefune...shit. Not again. I wonder if he's gotten stronger.

Okay first people to battle, come to the center. I walked out and saw many people on the stands. Great. Just what i needed. Spectators.

"Ready when you are" the protcter stepped back and stood to the side. I looked around and saw Kakashi, Obito, and Rin cheering me on.

"No time to look!" Mefune charged at me, kunai in hand. I dodged it and summoned my swords.

"Wind release: wind shuriken!"

Five shuriken's flew at him. He deflected four if them, but one scratched his cheek.

"Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu!"

A gigantic fireball came towards me.

"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu! (Water dragon bullet technique)" a dragon made of water appeared.

You could hear the gasps of the audience. Yes. That was an A rank technique. You see, when I was five, I mad my dad teach me all these cool jutsusi and I mastered them. I soon started to learn more and more jutsus. So yeah.

I heard Mefune growl at me. "Bunshin no jutsu!"

What a weak technique

"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Five replicas of me appeared.

My opponent smirked. "I was just getting started. Raikiri: Sōraishin!"

Mefune submerged into the earth and came up, punching me in the jaw. He jumped back and formed the lightning cutter. He split in two, charged me, leaving two streams of light. He striked me with one Lightning Cutter, and sent me into the air. He repeatedly hit me with that one Lightning Cutter in a zig-zag formation into the air, back and forth, before coming above me and finally slamming his second Lightning Cutter into me, driving me into the ground.

That hurt like hell. I gasped for air and breathed heavily. I thought only Kakashi could do that...though it was imperfect. A pink light surrounded me. Then suddenly, a sharp pain went through me head. I winced in pain and cliched my head. Slowly, one by one, ,y memories began to flow back. Even some of my strongest jutsus. I soon felt fine. All my cuts were healed, (fron the lightning cutter) and I felt better than ever. Then, I got up.

"Don't mess with me..." I growled

"And what happens if I do" Mefune taunted "are you going to hurt me?"

"I was trained by Tsunade-sama and Ero-sennin themselves...don't think you can get away with angering me without getting hurt!" I announced.

I could hear everyone's gasp on the stadium. Shocked? I smirked and summoned chakra into my right hand. I raced towards him at top speed and punched him, knocking him to the ground, and leaving a big hole in the arena. I walked off the grounds like nothing happened. It was quiet at first, but then I heard clapping and some cheers

The proctor announced "winner of this round, Uzumaki Kagome!"

More cheers. I went up to the stadium to my team and collapsed to the floor. I used up too much chakra. Gotta rest. I dozed off into a sleep.

Kakashi's POV

The heck? I thought I was the only one who can do Sōraishin. I fugered he must have spotted me doing that and copied it. It would be difficult though. Kagome...she was sleeping on the ground and Rin was tending to her. She shouldn't have survived that. Sōraishin was a pretty strong jutsu, and what was that pink light coming from her?

"Next is Hatake Kakashi and Dimore!"

My turn. I wonder what kind of surprise Dimore has for me. If Mefune had one, so should Dimore.

So I gave back Kagome's memory.

Thats what I've been planning to do all along.

Which one do you think is better? Third POV or First POV?
