(I am so sorry for not replying sooner! I've been working like 6 hours after school lately and that sets me around 9.30 pm to do my chores and home work and I haven't been able to catch an interwebs lately. Our router is out so everyone in the family has to 'take turns' online and I'm the only one that can't seem to get online for more than 15 minutes at a time!)

SarcasticSapphire: I like your guesses, but I'm unable to state whether-or-not I'm able to tell yet. My Beta is in charge of letting out other information.

Aryenne: I found one or two of them, but sadly they're from father down the story! ;~;

~Chapter 11~

Kagome looked up at the building they were standing in front of. "Really? We're having the meeting here?" She sighed softly and opened the door. "Sessho, I'm home!" She walked into the manor and headed to the kitchens. She opened the fridge and looked around a little, pulling out an apple. "I still can't believe he did that to me..."

Anko nodded and grabbed a drink out of the fridge once Kagome had stepped back. "I just can't believe it was Itachi." She opened her drink and took a long pull from it. "I just can't believe he had the balls to pull that on you."

A few other ANBU kunoichis had walked into the kitchen to grab something to eat, stopped and looked at Kagome and Anko. The other kunoichis started asking them questions after they heard a little snippet of what Kagome and Anko had said. "Who did what?" "What did Itachi do?" "Did he deflate in the middle of 'fun time'?"

Kagome looked at her fellow kunoichis and blushed a little. "It... was nothing.." She turned a little to the side and took a bite of her apple, trying to hide her blush. She walked over to a bar stool and sat down, resting an elbow on the counter, only to sigh softly. "I don't know if I want to go through that again..."

Anko snickered a little, clanking her glass on the counter. "If I were you, I'd be asking for another set~" She chuckled as she watched Kagome turn fifty shades of scarlet. "Relax, at least he's showing that he's not gay."

Kagome groaned and crashed her face into the counter. "Not helping!"

Emma, one of the kunoichis, sat down next to Kagome. "What happened, girlie?" She picked up a strand of Kagome's hair and started to twirl it around her finger. "Did Itachi try a move on you?" She watched as Kagome looked at her apple, blushing even more. "What did he try to do?"

"Its not what he tried to do... Its what he /did/..." She mumbled softly, taking another bite of her apple.

Anko groaned and face palmed. "If you won't tell her, then I will."

"Fine! Itachi felt me up today before I left for the meeting!" The blush across Kagome's cheeks only intensified, making her look like a tomato. The other kunoichis gathered around the distraught teenager and tried to calm her down a little.

"Ladies, onward to the dining room. The meeting is about to start." Sesshomaru stepped into the kitchen, grabbed a drink then headed back out of the kitchen.

"Well, at least you have all of us with you." Emma stated. The other girls nodded and took Kagome by the hands and led her from the kitchen and after her brother.


Sesshomaru took his normal seat at the head of the table, watching as the other captains filed into the room. He looked at the door as Kagome walked in and a slender eyebrow raised slightly, wondering why she was as red as a her shirt. "Kagome." His little sister looked up and tilted her head to the side a little. "Sit."

Kagome rolled her eyes a little and took her seat next to Sesshomaru. "This meeting has begun." She slid a file from in front of Sesshomaru and opened it, pulling out a pen. "Alright, first thing's first.. Role." She looked at the list and rolled her eyes. "Tsunade's not here yet."

Sesshomaru snorted. "Of course she'd be late. Shizune can't keep her on her leash all the time.."

Kagome nodded and looked up when she heard a laugh. "Really Kakashi? Imprinting your bad habits onto your former students?" Tsunade threw the door open and walked in, followed by Kakashi and Itachi. Tsunade walked over to the table, next to Sesshomaru and took a seat, leaning her chair back a little. "So we are here to discuss the up coming mission of our top assassins." Kagome nodded a little as she finished taking role and Sesshomaru flipped through the missions report that had been handed in over Itachi's mission to Suna. "Sesshomaru and Kagome will be heading out in two weeks time to make sure that the transfer of power is smooth for Garra of the Sand."

Kagome looked up at Tsunade. "Two weeks? How am I going to get everything set for Shippo, Rin, and Inuyasha before then?" She flipped the roster shut then slid it over to Anko, banging her head against the table. "Aw man..." She groaned softly.

Some of the older ANBU Captains smiled at the youngest Captain's antics. Emma raised her hand a little from where she sat at the other end of the table. "I'd be willing to help."

Kagome sighed softly as she sat back up, looking at Emma a little wearily. "Have you dealt with three picky eaters that try to pull pranks on anyone and everyone they don't like?" She leaned her chair back a little. "I would ask Mikoto but she had her hands full with Sasuke."

Itachi stepped away from his place against the wall. "I volunteer then." He looked at Kagome and raised an eyebrow as Kagome started to spit and sputter a little. "Why shouldn't I? It would keep the boys entertained and Rin would love the time in the garden and with mother. Sasuke, Shippo and Inuyasha are thick as thieves and it would keep them busy if I have them start on their training."

Sesshomaru looked at Itachi. "It sounds like you've thought about this already." He watched as Itachi shook his head 'no' a little. "Well, with the few times that I've been over to speak to Fugaku, I've observed the children together and it seems to me that they'd rather enjoy it."

Kagome pouted a little. "You're not even going to let me have a say in this?" She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Typical. And besides, I haven't even had a chance to tell you about what happened today. And that has some sway over why I wouldn't have them stay over there."

Itachi's eyes widened slightly. "Ah.. I wanted to speak with you about that, but I haven't had a chance to."

Kagome's head snapped to Itachi, and she narrowed her eyes. "Why should I let you? You shouldn't have been there anyway."

Itachi leaned back against the wall. "If I may, later on, I would like to be able to explain why I was there."

"No. You shouldn't have been there to start."

"I couldn't leave because of mother's restrictions on the house about using our jutsus in the household. Also it was a trap set up by the three boys."

Kagome stood up, her chair tipping over in the process. "You dare blame children on some sick and twisted plot?! And prey tell, who came up with this 'plan' of theirs?"

Itachi stepped away from the wall, and around the table. "You wouldn't even believe me even if I told you."

Kagome walked towards him. "Who is it that you are going to pin your indiscretions on?" She seethed.

"Inuyasha." Itachi said softly as he leaned towards Kagome.

Kagome's eyes narrowed a little. "Now that... I can believe. It dos seem like something he would do."

Sesshomaru looked at the two bickering captains. "What happened?"

Kagome looked at her brother, pointing at Itachi. "He was in my closet and tackled me to the ground when I went to get a different shirt. And to top it off, he started to feel me up after he tackled me to the ground!" Her face was scarlet after she finished.

Sesshomaru's eyes widened a little. "He felt you up?" His eyes narrowed as he looked at Itachi.

Whispers started to fly around the room as Sesshomaru stood up. Tsunade leaned over to Anko and smirked, whispering, "A weeks worth of sake that Sesshomaru tries to kill Itachi before Kagome can do anything."

Anko smirked and nodded. "Its a bet."
