Chapter 2
It was day two in the desert and Kagome was at her breaking point. "That's it, isn't there a faster way to go. The heat is very agitating and since I am in an eight year old body my feet don't want to move" complained Kagome. "Tobi will carry the pretty little goddess" Tobi then proceeded to scoop her up in his arms. He's holding me and I feel calm. Why am I feeling calm about this? Kagome's mind was racing. "Don't drop her, un" Deidara said. "I won't drop the pretty goddess" Tobi retorted. No way I will drop her. I have her and I am not letting her go. "Deidara make a bird. She is right we can get their faster that way" Pein commanded.
"I don't have enough clay to make a big enough bird, UN" retorted Deidara.
"Maybe you shouldn't have blown up our last base. Just make a bird with what you have" Pein continued. A bird made out of clay was created. It was only big enough for about half the group. Deidara, Sasori, Zetsu, and Kakuzu got on the bird. Kagome was amazed, "That is amazing, a giant clay bird" Deidara of course blushed "It was nothing." "How the fuck are the rest of us going to fly there?" Hidan blared out. "Leave that to me" Kagome stated. "Koro, Mizuki, Saya, ReiYuki transform" The two crystals from her gauntlets flared to life and there stood a giant phoenix and a giant ice bird. Lady Kagome you summoned us. "Yes we need a ride" She then turned to the group who were looking at her creatures with fascination. Koro and Mizuki had more than tripled in size. "Tobi and I will ride Saya. Itachi can ride Koro. Kisame can ride ReiYuki and Hidan you can ride Mizuki" Itachi smirked at Hidan. She's making him ride the teddy bear with wings. "WHY THE FUCK AM I RIDING A GIANT TEDDY BEAR WITH WINGS? Hidan yelled out. "Can you make a fire or ice barrier" Hidan shook his head. "That's why. I can make a fire barrier and ice barrier. Kisame can make an ice barrier. Don't ask how I know these things. It will take too long" "Why can't I ride the giant cat?" "Because Mizuki suits you, just get on" Kagome replied while looking away with amusement.
Everyone was on their way. Kagome was feeling very tired with all the happenings and was doing her very best to keep the fire shield up so Tobi wouldn't get burned. Tobi noticed she was tired and then whispered to her, "I have my own fire shield, you can sleep if you want" Under normal circumstances she would have refused the offer and continued providing the shield herself, but Kagome found Tobi's aura to be extremely calming and soon found herself asleep. Tobi noticed that Kagome didn't particularly need a shield since she was immune to the flames. Tobi was all the more fascinated with her and wanted to know all her secrets.
Soon after, they reached their base and Kagome had awoken in Tobi's arms some time back. He held me while I slept. That's nice. Oh, no I am acting like a school girl with a crush. This is bad, I have to stay focused. Kagome's mind continued and she was brought out of her musings when Tobi exclaimed excitedly, "We're here, Tobi is a good boy. He will show you your room and he will train with you" "We need to test her first Tobi" Itachi said with narrowed eyes. Itachi knew Madara was up to something he just didn't know what.
"HEY I'M STILL UP HERE" shouted Hidan. "Then jump down. You can jump down can you not" exclaimed Kagome. By that time everyone was waiting to go into their new base. "ReiYuki, Saya return" Both ReiYuki and Saya returned to Kagome's gauntlets in crystal form. Koro and Mizuki resumed their smaller forms and everyone proceeded to go inside. Tobi was zooming about like Shippo on sugar, showing Kagome where everything was. "We are heading to the dojo to determine what you are capable of" Pein instructed. As they headed to the dojo they all noticed a rather large mirror that wasn't there before. "Tobi wants to know why there is a mirror that wasn't there before" Kagome then explained what it was and said that it would only be activated once she completed what she had to do here in this world.
They were all in the dojo, when Kagome said "I believe we should do this outside, I do not wish for the dojo to be destroyed" "Very well we will go to the outside training grounds"
When they reached the training grounds there were two people waiting there. "Orochimaru, Kabuto you have returned?" exclaimed Pein. "Leader-sama we lost the trail that we were following" "It matters not we have a new mission. To protect, train, and assist Kagome with her endeavor" "Who is Kagome?" asked Kabuto. "That would be me" exclaimed Kagome at the prospect of more friends. "She's eight" stated Orochimaru. "Am not, I only look like I am eight. I am really twenty. It's a long story" said Kagome while sighing. Konan then took the time to tell the two Kagome's story. It's a good thing other people are telling my story. I was getting rather tired of repeating myself thought Kagome.
When the story telling was done Kabuto exclaimed, "So we are to test her correct" with that statement he lunged forward hoping to catch her off guard. Kagome at the time had lost interest in hearing her story again so she decided to head over to the small patch of flowers unnoticed by anyone. However, in her place she left a shikigami version of herself, no one noticed her wander off. Meanwhile, Kagome had looked up when she saw that Kabuto character heading for her shikigami. Do they not know that is not the real me. At least this will be interesting. Kabuto sliced through her and a cut piece of paper appeared. "When did she have time do to that and what is that?" Sasori said. "I did it half way through Konan's retelling of my story and it is a shikigami" replied Kagome as she continued making her flower wreath; all the while everyone looked at her. "What, I got bored and decided to pick some flowers" said Kagome. She is going to get herself killed with that kind of attitude. She doesn't sense Zetsu and Orochimaru sneaking up behind her Madara thought. Itachi's thinking was along the same lines. She has a lot to learn.
However, unbeknownst to all watching, she was indeed well aware of a sneak attack. At the precise moment that Orochimaru reached her she leapt out of the way. "You are going to have to do better than that" Kagome said as she placed the flower wreath on Hidan's head. "I don't want any fucking flowers. I am a guy for Christ's sake. I will sacrifice you to Jashin" and with that it was on. It was Zetsu, Kabuto, Hidan, and Orochimaru versus Kagome. She is in over her head Sasori smirked to himself.
The battle was on. Kabuto went towards her with incredible speed. He's not bad but aniki and tou-san are much faster. Kagome was standing with one hand behind her back ready to catch Kabuto and toss him. At the same time Zetsu was about to come up from the ground beneath her. This is perfect. They won't know what hit them. Kagome caught Kabuto fist at an incredible speed, "You're going to have to do better than that. My aniki and tou-san are much faster than you" and with that she leapt up in the air at the precise moment that Zetsu popped his head up and slammed Kabuto toward him. Both Zetsu and Kabuto had to react quickly to avoid collision. She is fast. Yes she is. The spectators were impressed. "You do know that I have to work about three times as hard because I am not currently in my normal size" huffed out Kagome. Kagome could sense Orochimaru coming and she spun in the air and released a fire vortex, which caused Orochimaru to change course and rethink his actions. By this time Kisame thought to even the odds since Kabuto was out. He was about ready to strike when Kagome grabbed her sword charm and blocked his sword with hers. "Where the hell did that come from" "Guess I forgot to mention that each of these charms save one is a weapon that I can use" said Kagome while leaping out of the way and unleashing a lightning attack "LIGHTNING BOLT" This works perfectly since Kisame is a water user. Kisame is now fried. I fried the fish thought Kagome with a glint in eyes.
By this time the rest had joined in. "You know under normal circumstances this wouldn't be fair all twelve of you against me" stated Kagome while dodging bombs and origami shurikens. This was going on for hours. Even Madara couldn't really catch her. "You know what I don't really feel like hurting any of you. I believe I will end this now and just dodge" with that Kagome called forth a fire and ice vortex. It sent both burning and freezing sensations to all those that were present" "That's enough" commanded Pein. "Why are you holding back" Itachi asked. "If I were to truly go all out you would all be dead. There is an easier way for you to see what I am capable of" with that the scenery changed and they witnessed her training sessions with the demons. "As you can see I trained with demons and the only two I have yet to beat are aniki and tou-san" When the picture came back to the training grounds Pein then decided that Kagome should read all the scrolls containing ninja knowledge and how to do jutsus.
It had been three weeks of reading and another month of mastering necessary jutsus. She didn't need fire or ice jutsus due to the bond between Saya and ReiYuki. The only thing she had left to do was to perfect wind and earth elements, as well as learning a summoning jutsu. Through this time she had learned of Madara and he became her sparring partner. He was really the only one who could keep up and needless to say she would always remind him that she is still in an eight year old body and her twenty year old body is much more deadly. It was after on such sparring session that they were both sitting there when she got that feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't want to alarm anybody, she decided she would investigate later. Right now she was enjoying sitting against a tree with Madara. Madara had yet to tell her his feelings; he wanted to wait until she was in her right size. Itachi was watching them from another tree as he always did, he had found out that Madara had a thing for her and he took it upon himself to look after her as a brother would. Many of the Akatsuki viewed her as a sibling, except Madara. Kagome was quite content with her newly found family in this world.
"You seem troubled" stated Madara. "I am not really troubled. I am just remembering that once my task is finished I will have to go and look for his other souls in other places and I won't be back for a while" she sighed out. I forgot she has to leave this world. I wonder if she would take me with her. "When you leave can I go with you. " At that statement Kagome looked at him, truly looked at him and then she saw it. He was her soul mate, which was why she was drawn to him the way she was. "I don't see why not" she replied. Itachi smirked from his position. So he really does love her. He better not hurt her.
It was a few days later when nobody could find Kagome. "Tobi wants to know where his pretty little goddess is" "Did he just call her his" was what everybody was thinking. At that point everyone turned to Tobi/Madara with looks that said "if you harm her we will kill you" Needless to say that he got the picture. It was at this time that Zetsu poked his head in The little girl is in the forest meditating. Tobi went to go find her.
-With Kagome-
"I hope no one get worried, but I just can't help shake the feeling that something in this forest needs my help" She had wandered for into the forest and picked a secluded spot to close her eyes and meditate. While Kagome was meditating, Zetsu had come upon her and was watching her. She is unaware of her surroundings. No she isn't she has a barrier up. Shortly after he got bored and left to find something better to do. Kagome was waiting for Zetsu to leave so she could pursue the energy signature that she had felt. Kagome had not traveled far when she came upon on altar. After closer inspection she heard a voice. Free me and I shall share my power. It was then that Kagome noticed a crystal, so just like she had with ReiYuki she freed him and there in the crystals place was an earth bird. I am Katashi and I will create a bond with you. He then proceeded to bite her hand and the earth symbol showed up next to the ice symbol (she can use water and ice). Kagome then went to head back to the base, but when she turned around she came face to face with Chinatsu. Kagome immediately got into a defensive position. "I see you have arrived. However, I cannot let you defeat my master" and with that Chinatsu attacked. Kagome leapt out of the way and headed toward the base with Chinatsu following close behind.
Meanwhile back at the base, Madara was on the outskirts of the forest and the rest in tow when they had felt the foreign presence. "Who the hell is that and it seems that Kagome is on the move. Actually she is headed straight for us" and at that statement Kagome had flipped out of the forest and put up a barrier. Unknown to Kagome she was back to her regular size and power, so the barrier was extremely powerful. "You're not chibi anymore" stated Sasori. "Yeah, un what happened and who is that" stated Deidara. "That is Chinatsu and she is one of Naraku's creations. Apparently she doesn't like the fact that I am here" stated Kagome while taking a personal inventory. At that moment Chinatsu launched an attack only to be purified by the barrier. "Well, that was anticlimactic" stated Kisame. "I am thinking that I need to finish my training. I don't think that it will be too much longer.
So continue with her training they did. They all met her new friend Katashi and she mastered the earth element. It was time for her to learn a summoning jutsu and low and behold who did she get but none other than Ryuukossei. She really had to laugh at her luck. The day she had summoned him she was sporting a taijiya outfit that had been fitted with a crescent moon showing that she was a member of that house. (No one knows at the time that Kagome does in fact have a true Inuyokai form. It happened after a blood bond with Toga, but they will). "What pitiful human has the audacity to summon me?" roared Ryuukossei. Know if Kagome was in her eight year old body, she might have been a tad intimidated. The fates must be laughing right now. Seriously, my summon is a being that I helped destroy with Inuyasha. Maybe if I assert authority it will be alright; although, considering whom I am this could get bad.
"This Kagome, Shikon no Miko, Goddess of Time and Princess of the Western Lands has the audacity to summon you Ryuukossei" stated Kagome with an air of pride and power.
"YOU, You are the one who destroyed me in the first place" roared Ryuukossei "You have the smell of the Inuyokai in your veins. Why?" At this point, back in the Western Lands Toga had sensed Kagome's slight distress and he went to personally investigate by using the large mirror and ended up in the world where Kagome was. At once he sensed Ryuukossei and went to investigate.
"She has been adopted by the House of the West" stated a voice that everyone turned to.
"Tou-san what are you doing here" Kagome exclaimed with surprise. "I sensed your distress and came to investigate. Ryuukossei you are her summon after all I suggest you heed her wishes" Toga stated.
"You had best prepare yourself Toga, I have yet to forgive you" roared Ryuukossei as he charged. Soon it was a battle between a very large dragon and a very large Inuyokai. All the while Kagome was getting extremely agitated to the point where the crescent charm was glowing. Sesshomaru felt the call of the charm and was immediately at her side. "Imouto what has you in an uproar" by this time everyone looked at Kagome and could see her power rolling off her in waves. "Tou-san butted in and now instead of one demon I have two to deal with" Kagome seethed out. "This Sesshomaru will handle our father you will take the dragon." With that said they both took to their true forms. "What the fuck, Kagome just turned into a giant dog" shouted Hidan. Everyone just rolled their eyes at him. They could all feel the demonic power long before she showed her demonic form.
Sesshomaru had it easy all he had to do was simply remind his father that this was Kagome's fight and that she had to get Ryuukossei to submit on her own if he was to be her summon. Toga seeing the truth in this reverted to his humanoid form. "She had better win or she is going to have a very long training session when she returns" stated Toga. Everyone sweat dropped at this statement. Now I know why she can handle ninja training. Our training was nothing compared to this. By this time Kagome had Ryuukossei by the neck. You will submit to me.I will do no such thing. You will if you know what is best for you. You are already beat. Very well I yield. He knew he was beat he had lost a lot of blood. Kagome reverted back to her humanoid form and everyone minus Toga and Sesshomaru were in awe. Kagome then proceeded to heal her summon. Why are you healing me?"That is just who I am and what I do" replied Kagome. She then dismissed him and turned to her aniki and tou-san and said "Will you be going back now" "Yes, you have plenty of help already" Toga said and with that they vanished. She looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to sleep now" and the proceeded to collapse. Madara caught her before she hit the floor and whisked her off to her room. Everyone shared a knowing look. Kagome was Madara's and Madara was Kagome's and nothing would stand in the way of that.
Madara reached her room and laid her down. I will tell you tomorrow Kagome of my intentions but for now sleep. He then laid down next to her and she turned into him and they both went to sleep in each other's arms.
