Beautiful like a Princess

Chapter 8

Friends

So much has happened this week... Kagome thought. First the Uchiha boy then spilling the beans to Lady Tsunade. Kagome sighed, as she made her way to her work office, in the hospital. Over the past few days Kagome has been called everyday to help out at the hospital. The hospital was very busy and a lot more people came by, especially to see Kagome once they heard her special abilities. Tsunade decided to tell everyone about her past to get rid of the confusion and the glares of a stranger. Even Kakashi and Shikamaru can look at her with a straight face, at the very least.

Tsunade finished with her lessons with Sakura when she came across Kagome.

The girl was with the Uchiha brat again. It seemed she was the only one that did not care for Sasuke's silent temper. The boy refused to speak, ignored Sakura, silently glared Naruto, but when presented with Kagome's kindness and no nonsense attitude he was almost polite; meaning he ate without a fuss, took his medicine and did not try to attack. Now Kagome was giving him some vitamins while chatting about her favorite foods with Sasuke looking at her blankly.

"You idiot." Kagome sighed at Sasuke. "You could speak instead of having me talk incessantly." she told him. "Like... what is your favorite food."

A glaring contest commenced until Kagome smirked. "I could ask Naruto."

The Uchiha sighed and gave in. "Riceballs."

Kagome beamed at him, enjoying yet another small victory with the boy. "So I assume you don't like sweet things eh?" Kagome asked.

"Hn."

"Well, guess I'll take that as a 'yes' then." Kagome said. When Tsunade came in looking for her.

"That Uchiha brat can be released from hospital today. Thanks for your care Kagome." Tsunade said. Then she turned to the Uchiha. "Well, you better thank Kagome. Since she was the only one to trust you."

"Hn."

Tsunade sighed and gave in.

"Are you tired today Kagome? I know it's wrong of me to ask you but could you go get some supplies and herbs? And I was wondering if u could go and check up some of the academy students, give them injection or something. There seems to be a flu going around lately."

Kagome smiled at her request. "Of course I will. If you don't mind me bringing some friends with me?"

"That's alright. Thank you. I appreciate what you have done and how you're always so helpful. Even though you had to work night shift and extra hours the past few days."

"No need to thank me. I'm just doing my job and helping Konoha like anyone would. And I'm glad that everyone trusts me now and besides, I enjoy working here." Kagome smiled. "Well, if you excuse me I'll get the supplies and herbs right now. And take Sasuke home?"

"Yeah. You're staying at the Uchiha Compound aren't you brat?" Trunade asked.

"Hn."

"Okay then let's go! I'm sure Naruto is waiting by the door. He usually does." Kagome laughed. And dragged Sasuke out the door. And as Kagome has said, Naruto was waiting outside the hospital door. He practically jumped when he saw her dragging Sasuke out.

"Kagome-chan!" He grinned from ear to ear. "What are we doing today?"

"How about we get Sasuke home and get him settled then I need to pick herbs for medic and get supplies. Want to help me?" Kagome smiled.

"Yes!"

"Well, in that case then I'll pack lunch and get a few more friends then we can have a picnic by the hill side. While we are there."

"Okay! Can Sasuke come too then?" Naruto asked excitedly. Kagome eyed the Uchiha. Sasuke just stared blankly her. Kagome sighed.

"If he wants to, then I guess." Kagome replied. "How about you take him home and I'll make lunch and get a few friends? Then meet us by my apartment."

"I got it Kagome-chan!" Naruto agreed and ran off with Sasuke his feet barely keeping up with him. Kagome laughed at the two and set off to Hinata's house. She walked across the Hyuuga Compound and knocked swiftly on the door.

"Yes?" Neji answered.

"Is Hinata there?" Kagome asked.

"Hn." And he left to get her.

Another Uchiha like guy, Kagome thought.

"K-kagome-chan!" Hinata squeaked.

"I'm going to pick herbs and get supplies for the hospital. Wanna help me? I'll pack lunch for a picnic too."

"O-okay. I'll h-help." Hinata stuttered.

"What about Neji? Does he want to come along?" Kagome asked.

"Uh...um... I'll ask." Hinata stuttered and disappeared back inside. Shortly, reappearing with Neji behind her.

"Good. Then lets go!" Kagome said cheerfully. Hinata grabbed a white coat and rushed out,with Neji at her heels, following Kagome to her apartment. On the way, they stopped at Ino's flower shop, having Ino tagging along. They saw Tenten in the weapons shop then asking Tenten along. Ino dragged Shikamaru along when they saw him snoring. And also invited Lee too when passed by him by the training grounds. There. They now have a group of friends. Ready for the picnic. Back to Kagome's apartment, Kagome prepared lunch while everyone else sat on the couch chatting and watching T.V. Kagome packed cheese and cracker, bags of potato chips, mini sandwiches, biscuits, cinnamon rolls (Hinata's favorite), seasamed dumplings (Tenten's favorite), instant ramen (Naruto's favorite) and hot water, rice balls (Sasuke's favorite), cans of drinks and soda into a big picnic basket with a huge red squared patterned blanket covered on top.

"Okay~! We're ready!" Kagome shouted brightly. Everyone's ears perked up and stood up, walking out the door and towards the hill side. "Kagome-chan!" Naruto yelled loudly when he saw Kagome and the others walking towards them.

"Shut up, Teme!" Sasuke growled.

"Hmph! Whatever!"

"Hn."

Kagome laughed and waved back him. Soon everyone gathered around the small picnic blanket laid full of homemade food. As they ate and chattered, small cherry blossoms floated their way towards them as the soft wind carried them and guiding them.

"Look!" Naruto exclaimed. Pointing at the cherry blossoms.

"Wow, spring has definitely come!" Ino gasped. Neji watched in amusement. Shikamaru was already asleep. Tenten threw little pins at the blossoms, using them as targets. Sasuke leaned against the tree and just watched the scene unfold in front of him. Lee stopped doing his push ups when he saw them. It was a beautiful moment until... SPLASH! Sasuke and Neji soaked in water. Dripping from head to toe.

"HAH! I found a stream!" Naruto exclaimed proudly. Earning two glares from an annoyed Uchiha and a mad Hyuga.

"ANNNNNNDDDDDD WATER FIGHT!" Naruto declared. Before running down to the stream.

"IT'S ON." Growled the Uchiha and chased him.

"REVENGE TIME." Hyuga growled and chased after.

"H-hey! Not fair! Two on one!" Naruto complained as their water fight began. Meanwhile Kagome had gone with Hinata and Ino to pick herbs.

"My, been having fun?" Kagome mocked, when she returned upon seeing them soaking wet. Hinata fainted when she saw Naruto take off his shirt. Neji and Sasuke did the same.

"Kagome-chan, can u get towels please?" Naruto asked. Kagome sighed. "Fine, be right back. And look after Hinata." then disappeared using a Teleportation jutsu. Tenten walked over to Ino and tried to get Hinata to wake up.

*Poof*

Kagome was back in a puff of smoke.

"Here." She said as she handed them the towels.

"It's dark already..." Tenten said, to no one in particular.

"We can see the stars!" Ino exclaimed. "And make a wish too! It's the first day of Spring."

Hinata had already woken up and was looking at the stars.

"Hm..." Naruto thought then bolted right up.

"I wish to beat that Teme!" Naruto shouted. Hinata smiled. Ino laughed, Tenten choked.

"You WISH." Sasuke replied. Kagome laughed and joined them in watching the stars and listening to Ino telling stories and legends. Kagome leaned on Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke just 'Hned' and she soon drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
