Chapter 7

the walk around the village and meeting an old friend

Kpov

After I droped off the bento's I decided to walk around the village to think on what I wanted to do and what to do about sota, so far no solution seems to pop up to me.

As I was waking I paused as I saw a flower store called Yamanaka flower shop, I walked in and saw many beautiful flowers I decided to get Gardenias, red tulips, Gladiolus and iris as I went to the cash register there a man with long dirty blond hair, tan skin, and blue eyes with a headband on his forhead, he looked up and smiled at me,

" hello I'm Inoichi Yamanaka how can I help you"

I smiled back and said "hello I would like to get these please."

As Inoichi was ringing up the young woman's order he couldn't help but anylais her, for he has never seen her before until today, when he was looking he stopped at her eyes, he knew those eyes. He looked back at the register while casualy saying "You know your eyes remind me of someone, you wounldn't happened to be related to Ken Higurashi are you?" he looked back at her after saying that and saw the shock in her expression.

Kagome couldn't help but be shocked at this man's question but then smiled a small sad smile while saying "yeah, he was my father,I'm sorry where are my manners my name is Kagome Higurashi, I thought maybe I'd take these flowers to his grave as soon as I figure out where it is."

she laughed sheeplishly and heard a chuckle from Inoichi "I figured you might be related to him because of the eyes I just didn't think you were his daughter."

"Yeah aparently nobody knows about me and my little brother sota, we just got here yesturday the only one who aparently knew about us was the third and forth hokage, by the way do you know where the cemetry is at?" kagome asked she had been meaning to ask the hokage where it is at but never got around to it.

Inoichi looked at kagome with kind and understanding eyes while saying "there is a Memorial Stone near training ground seven, there is where your father and his clan's name are on it."

kagome bowed "thank you so much." she stood and was about to reach for her purse to pay for the flowers, but Inoichi stoped her by shaking his head while saying "this one is on the house beside your father was a good man worked with my own from time to time, if you need anything just come to me if I'm not on missions and I'll try to help as much as I can."

Kagome smiled "thank you, I'll remember this always." after that kagome walked out to the memorial stone and found her father's name, she put the flowers on the gound and prayed, 'momma,pappa,gramps everyone please watch over sota and I' she prayed a little while more asking for guidens and streanth, asking for a solution about what to do about sota.

I got up and looked at the sky seeing how the sun is I would guess its almost time for the academy kids to be going home, I looked over my sholder to the memorial stone and thought 'don't worry guys hopfuly the answers will come to me' with that she flashed to the acdamey startling some of the parents that were already there, I chuckled nervusely while rubbing the back of my head.

As the bell rang signaling the end of the acadamey day Kagome looked for her brother and naruto when she spotted them coming out of the door "SOTA NARUTO!" Kagome yelled while waving them over naruto griended and waved back while sota just sighed, when they both got over there Kagome pulled both in a hug then turned them turareds home, the group never noticing the stares or whispers around them about them, especialy one stare of sasuke uchiha, he was looking at them with envi as he thought about the one man and clinched his hands, sasuke turned away with a "che" and started to walk home.

I was walking between naruto and sota as I listened to them talk about there day at the academy well more Naruto talking and Sota just grunting here and there, when they were about a mile from the Higurashi compound, I felt it, a demotic signature I haven't felt since the feudal era, looking to the right I didn't notice I stopped walking, I just kept looking to the right feeling the arua getting closer and closer.

Naruto kept walking not noticing kagome stoped walking til he noticed she wasn't next to or talking, he looked back and saw her looking to the right of the woods, "hey kagome-nee what are you looking at?" Sota who was quiet looked back at naruto words and saw kagome with a look he hasn't seen since she got back from the past.

Both sota and naruto ran back to her and reach for there wepon when, kagome stoped them by placing her hands on there shoulder stopping them, the bushes in front of them ruseled and a bloody cat came out. Kagome stood shock as she looked at the cat that haven't noticed them yet, she slowly walked foward "kirara?", the cat looked up and it's eyes widen "mew...mew!" kirara ran foward as best as she could with her injures and jumped in her friends arms purring in happiness and contempt.

Kagome opened her arms when kirara ran toward her and held her close to her chest she never thought she would see her friend from the past here of all places, "kirara what are you doing here, how did you get here?" Kirara mewed and lefted her head for kagome to see a summoning scroll attached to the neko demon's neck, she took it and saw it glow for a seconed, she would open it later right now her friend needed to get healed.

Kagome lefted her right hand and called her miko powerss to the front and started to heal kirara's wounds, once all the wounds were heald she asked "kirara do you want to come with me and be my partner like how we were in the past?" Kirara mewed and nodded her head.

Naruto couldn't stay quiet and asked "um kago-nee how do you know this weired cat and all?" Kagome smiled and said "it's a long story" after she said that they continued home.
