Okay so Kikyo is NOT dead. Inuyasha wished for her to be alive again so yeah.
Short introduction, but hey. You guys want to read the story more than you want to hear me talk. Admit it.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story!
Kagome's POV
8:30...the team was supposed to meet at 9...whatever. I rolled over, and grabbed a spare pillow. Hugging it, I slowly fell asleep.
-?-
"KAGOME!"
I opened an eye and saw Sango staring down at me.
"Don't you have to meet your team?"
I looked over at the clock. 12. I sighed and went to the bathroom to get dressed. Orange tank top and black pants. Tying my hair into a ponytail, I noticed the two necklaces that I recieved from being a Jōnin. I touched them lightly as I walked out the bathroom. I didn't care if I was late. They're going to have to deal with this if I'm their sensei. Sango shoved me a sandwich before I went out Naruto's apartment. I leaped from roof to roof, then trees to trees as I aimed for training ground 7.
"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura and Naruto pointed accusingly at Kakashi. If only they knew about me...
"S-"
"Hey! I'm also your sensei by the way!" I said, jumping out from the bushes
"YOU'RE ALSO LATE!"
Kakashi and I both smiled. "Sorry I got lost on the path of life" we both said at the same time.
"First things first" I clasped my hands together. "Survival training. Kakashi, if you may"
I walked over to he large rock by the river that I had used long ago to make a strategy against my dad, and sat down.
"Your the sensei too!" Kakashi exclaimed. I gave him my 'shut up' glare. It wasn't a surprise that he did. He's known me long enough.
I sighed and laid down. I watched the clouds as they passed smoothly in the sky. Mom...dad...Rin...Obito...I really miss you guys. I touched my necklace and was in deep thought. Will they pass? The hokage told me that no one has ever passed training under Kakashi. I understood why. I slowly fell asleep with that thought in mind.
-?-
"Urmph" I mumbled as I turned over and my nose hit what felt like a...shoe? I traced the feet back to the owner and met Kakashi's eye. My eye twitched as I swung my legs and pushed my back up. Forcing my legs under me, I caught myself with my feet.
"Did they pass?" I asked
"Not yet" he pointed towards the clearing. I snuck up on them and his in the bushes just in time to see that Sasuke was offering Naruto his bento. Yes. That was what Kakashi was looking for. Teamwork.
Suddenly, a poof of smoke appeared in front of them.
"You guys!..."
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura looked scared out of their wits.
"Pass "
They let out a sigh of relief.
I came out the bushes just as Kakashi was saying,
"In the ninja world, those who break the rules are called scum, that's true, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum."
Thats what got to me. I collapsed onto the floor, landing on my knees. I'm still weak with that memory.
"Nee-chan!" Naruto yelled. He couldn't come over because he was tied to the pole. The most he could do was squirm. Sakura threw a kunai and cut the rope, freeing Naruto. As soon as the last strand of rope fell, Naruto rushed over to me.
"are you okay?" He asked me.
I nodded and shakily stood up. Kakashi looked at me with sad eyes.
"Gomen..." He whispered.
My eyes softened and I went to hug him, leaving Naruto and Sakura who were exchanging expressions.
"I'm going to go for a walk" I mumbled and released Kakashi.
"Eh..." Kakashi was about to say something and then stopped. I hate it when people do that.
-?-
"Oh...hey...Kikyo..." I mumbled as seeing my friend was where I was going.
She turned her head and smiled. I sat criss-crossed next to her.
"So...do you still like Inuyasha?" I asked. It's not that I was jealous that she might like Kakashi...was I? Okay I admit it. Kakashi was my childhood crush and he still is, but for the past few years I started to develop feelings for Inuyasha. Just a little bit. Not a lot. Actually now, I got over him, but my feelings for Kakashi hasn't burned down yet. So...um...yeah.
"Mm..." She was silent thinking about it.
"I guess I don't really like him as much as I do now. I'll say that."
Ah dang. I just hope she dosen't like my twin. Wait. What if he likes her? I know he doesn't feel the same way about me. I could just take my head out of the clouds right now and have the pain hurt less than make it unbearable. He was just...he stuck by my side unlike Inuyasha. Ever since I first saw his face in 12 years, my liking for him grew stronger and Inuyasha's grew smaller...nah. I don't think so. Sure I had liked Kakashi before, but it doesn't mean I still like him. I'm pretty sure I got over him. Yeah. Thats it.
"Have you been out here the whole day?" I asked
"Well...yeah"
"Come on" I took her hand "I'll show you around and get you new clothes. You don't go walking around Konoha looking like a miko. It's just unnatural."
Kikyo smiled and followed me as I dragged her down the streets of Konoha. I stopped suddenly.
"Wait. Let's bring Sango too." I said just as Sango was carrying Hiraikotsu towards a clothing shop.
"Sango!" I yelled, waving my hand. She turned to me and grinned. We walked over to her and chatted for two minutes about clothing...well...Sango and me actually.
"Hey, I noticed Kikyo has taken an intrest in your friend, and he has taken a small amount of intrest in her." Sango whispered.
I froze. My throat tightened and my palms were getting sweaty. Jealousy? Nah. I guess I'm just worried for my teammate after all.
"Y-you wan to set t-them u-up?" I asked shakily.
Sango's eyes had a look of concern. "You like him don't you?" She asked
"D-do not" I mumbled
"Look Kagome, I wont set this up if you have feelings for him."
"N-no I-I'm fine"
"Kagome!" She hissed, grabbing my shoulder
"Let's just do this"
I turned back to a dumbfounded Kikyo. I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the nearest clothing store.
Sango's POV
That liar. She just doesn't want to admit that she likes him. Plus, she's scared that he wont like her back. Well, I'll settle this. Kami, I am so good at meddling in things.
-?-
"Hiya!" I popped out from behind Kakashi, making him drop his book.
He casually picked it up and gave me a weak glare. "What?" He asked wearily.
"Ne, do you like anyone?" I asked, elbowing him
"E-eh?!" His face blushed madly
I grinned widely. "You like Kagome don't ya?"
His face turned a whole lot brighter. "N-No!"
"Yes you do" I said bluntly. I am a master worker at putting people under pressure and getting them to admit things, so he'll eventually crack.
"Don't" he protested
I raised an eyebrow and stared at him. After an hour passed, his face was starting to get scrunched up.
"Okay fine! Just don't tell her! How am I a Jōnin?! Breaking under peer pressure!" He exclaimed.
"Haha! It never fails!" I laughed. My face suddenly got serious. "What about Kikyo?"
Kakashi's POV
"What about Kikyo?"
What about Kikyo? To be honest I know Kagome only saw me as her twin brother.
"I...love her" I said, untruthfully. I didn't exactly lie, because she reminds me a lot of Kagome, and I would have a better chance with her than Kagome.
Sango's jaw dropped.
"I-you-she-what?!"
"I jus-hey!"
Sango stormed off looking angry.
I sighed. Kagome...it's you...your back...and I still never told you how I feel. Kikyo. I only liked her because I love you...I'm sorry...
I actually wonder what she's doing now. I haven't seen her in a while, so its natural for me to think that. I was in town before I knew it, and saw Kagome and Kikyo in a store with Sango outside. Oh dear.
Kagome's POV
"Oh my kami, you're gorgeous!" I exclaimed as Kikyo walked out the changing room. White tank top with red pants, and the shoes were just plain ninja sandals. Wow. Still looks like a priestess, but more natural. I heard a crash and then a thud outside, so we ran out the shop door to find Sango holding Hiraikotsu and Kakashi on the floor, rubbing his head. He removed his hand, revealing a bump.
"Eh?" I blinked.
Kakashi looked up and Kikyo's face turned pink as she laid sight on him. Kakashi's eye's widened a considrable amount and then softened sadly.
He looked at me and stood up quickly. I saw Sango had two angry ticks on her head. I wonder what that was about. Oh my. Did she? She did. It was my turn to have my eyes widened. My face felt hot, so I turned around and ran away.
Away from humiliation.
I pushed passed the trees as the thorny roots scratched my legs. They hurt, but I kept pushing on until I came apon a clearing with a lake in the middle. My team used to hang out around here daily. It was our special place. The clouds passed by smoothly like earlier, but in a light orange color, and a cool breeze swept my hair back.
I held shame. Back then, I wouldn't let anything get to me, but now, I run away from every little thing that embarassed me. Everything. I couldn't face the world now.
I heard a rustle to my left, so I whipped a kunai out from my weapons pouch on my right leg.
"Woah its just me"
Kakashi lifted his hands up as he came out the bushes. My arms relaxed an I put my weapon back where it belongs. I sat back down and Kakashi next to me.
I laid my head on his shoulders. They were soft, but muscular. I looked at the lake and saw images of our team canoeing. Obito was looking annoyed while he was using the oar to paddle the canoe. He got up and pointed a finger at Kakashi, yelling. Apparently he lost his balance and fell...into the water. Everyone looked happy. Rin laughed and dad was smiling. Even Kakashi looked amused. I was there too...with Rin...laughing... Obito finally popped his head out the water. He couldn't help himself, so he started laughing.
My image was shattered when a hand touched my face and wiped away my tears. I hadn't noticed I was crying until now. It lifted my chin, and I met Kakashi's eyes. After 5 seconds passed, our faces were so close to each other. My face has been moving towards him unconsciously. I noticed he had been moving his also.
I began to think about something quickly until our lips locked and shocked me out of my thoughts. He began to kiss me passionately and I returned his call. This felt...nice. Oh kami. What am I doing?!
"I missed you..." He whispered.
The kiss went for about 30 seconds until,
"Kagome!"
We pushed each other away, red faced and I turned to face a familiar silver haired dog demon. How did he get here?! Oh wait. That's right. He knows my scent.
"What-"
"Nothing" I replied quickly
He ignored me and continued his question
"-were you doing?!" He grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him. My blood started boil. I jerked my hand away from him and started yelling.
"Were you following me?!"
His eyes went wide, but then his facial expression turned angry. He let out a snarl an was about to grab my wrist again, but Kakashi stepped in front of me, silver kunai in hand, shocking both Inuyahsa and me.
"You..." Inuyasha growled.
"I wont let you touch her." Kakashi responded by getting in a protective stance. I could see why he would say that. We were best friends when we were kids, and if our positions were reversed, I would act the same way too.
"Kagome is MINE!" Inuyasha pulled out Tessaiga and got into a battling position. This is bad. Since when did I become the favorites of those two?
I whipped my silver kunai out and stood between them just before they were about to attack.
"Now you guys are just acting immature-ttebane!"
Kakashi and Inuyasha looked shocked. They both put their weapons back, smugly. What just...happened? Kami, things are going to be akward between them tonight.
Miroku's POV
I followed the emo boy named Sasuke through the forest
Shippo kept whispering 'what's up with his hair?' And whenever he says that, duck butt, (Sango came up with that) gives him a 'I'll hurt you look'
We came apon a clearing with a lake in the middle and saw three figures. Dear kami.
"Now you guys are just acting immature-ttebane!"
I saw duck butt freeze in his tracks. Apparently Kagome scared him. As soon as he unfreezed, her face shot in his direction. It cracked him. He started running the way we came from. Shippo hid behind me, trembling.
She stomped towards and past me, leaving a frozen Kakashi and Inuyasha
Shippo scurried behind me and held on to my priest cloth. He gripped it tighter as a Kagome stormed over here and past us. She looked angry and annoyed.
I stepped back one, turned around, and broke into a run with Shippo hanging on to me for dear life. I wonder what had happened.
Kagome's POV
I did several handsigns and teleported to Naruto's house.
"Hm?" Naruto looked up from eating. He had a strand of ramen hanging fron his lips. Lips. Kakashi. My face instantly turned red from remembering that incident. His face was still masked but it was fine. Fine? Did I like the kiss? Well, I kissed back didn't I?
No. This cant be. I couldn't possibly like my brother can I? Okay. We're not related by blood, but by bond. We always had each other's back during our ANBU days. Speaking of which-
"Are you okay?" My little brother interrupted my thinking.
"Hm? Yeah" I replied and walked over to the makeshift bed I had made yesterday. I laid back and continued my thoughts.
Speaking of which, why isn't he in his ANBU uniform? Has he quit? One more question before I fall asleep. Am I still a part of it? Ill go see Sandaime tomorrow.
-?-
"NEE-CHAN!"
My eye twitched. I always overslept, so it's no wonder people would shout for me to wake up. Naruto was looking down at me with his sparkling blue eyes that reminded me of dad. Like a lot.
I sighed and got up to see Sango in a pink shirt and a black skirt.
"You look so pretty in that" I complimented.
Her face turned pink.
"Thanks...Naruto...err..."
"I picked it out for her-ttebayo!"
"Ah. I see." I put on my Jōnin uniform in the bathroom and came out the man door just in time to slam into something green.
"Hey! Watch it!" I yelled, waving my fist.
"Geez." Kakashi said, sweatdropping.
Eh? Eh?!
My face got hot, and I slammed the door, just as he was about to walk in and blocked it with my body.
"Ow!"
I slid down, and close my eyes, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Yo" I felt a warm breath in my face. My eyes snapped open, and I saw a closed eye smile coming from Kakashi. A cool breeze swept on my face, so I turned my head to see that the window was open.
My eyes went wide and my face burned. Meh. I raised my foot and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into the wall across me. A shriek was heard. I ran over to there to see what had happened. Sango was standing there with a towel wrapped around her, and her hair was wet. She just came out the shower. I looked in the kitchen and naruto was slurping his ramen away. Was. He was now looking up, and his face was pink.
I grabbed Kakashi by the ear and dragged him out the door with him repeating "ow" all the way.
"Why are you here?!" I whispered/yelled once I slammed the door behind me.
"I...uh...wanted to talk to about yest-"
"Look. I don't want to tal-"
"You kissed back!"
I froze. Yeah. I did didn't I?
"Thats true. I feel that it would rui-"
I was interrupted by something warm crashing on my lips. I slammed my eyes shut, and steadly opened an eye. I was shocked at what I saw. Kakashi. Maskless. Kissing me. Dear kami. I slowly closed my eyes and kissed back as Kakashi's arms made its ways to my waist. I raised my arms and put it over his shoulders, and at once, we pulled each other close.
Kakashi's POV
She kissed me back passionately. This turned out to be fine until I realized I wasn't breathing.
We pulled away to gasp for air. She laid her forehead on my chest and hugged me tightly. At that time, I pulled my mask up.
"I love you" I whispered.
She stayed still for a moment, and then suddenly she shifted her arms.
"Love you too-ttebane..." She breathed.
I looked into her sparkling blue eyes as her face turned up. I hugged her back. We let go after one minute had passed. I grabbed her hand and leaded her downstairs and outside. I cant beleive it...I thought this day would never had come. Was it too fast? Maybe it was because she had returned like two days ago, but I didn't care. I had missed her so much.
Her 'death' scared me senseless. I was afraid of getting close to someone ever since then. Afraid of making bonds. I think I can form new bonds now that she was back. Nobody can express the joy that swelled up in my chest once I reconized her mask. Too deep? Exactly.
"So...are we dating now?" I asked completely clueless. I hope we were. If we weren't, that would be so embarrassing.
Her facial expression had a look of pity on it, but at the same time, she was smiling a bit. Her armed pulled me closer until our shoulders touch...but I was taller than her...so yeah.
"Okayy...I'll take that as a yes" I mumbled as we walked down the morning street of Konohagakure with her head resting on my shoulder.
I looked over to Kagome's smiling face as she gripped my hand tighter. And here all along I thought that she never thought of me the same way. You don't know how happy I felt when she kissed me back by the lake. I had made a daring move and it turned out perfect. Phew. That was a rush.
At least I dont have Kikyo to worry about anymore.
I hope things turn out right. I love her and I don't want to let her go. Not now, not ever.
SHANNARO!
Boom! Didn't see that one coming didnt you?!
You thought I was ONLY going to write about Team 7!
WRONG!
HAHA!
So?!
Comment what you think!
I was really happy writing this! So they had TWO kisses in ONE chapter!
Am I moving too fast? I thought the lake scene was the PERFECT time to imply the kiss.
This chapter was probably too short.
I really hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Wow I used the word 'chapter' a lot in this...
~ Believe It Ya Know?!✌️😁✌️
