Chapter 12

meeting Inari

By late evening Team seven arrived at Tazuna's house his daughter Tsunami showed them where they will be sleeping, after putting there stuff in the rooms they gathered around the table to eat dinner.

As Naruto and Sakura chatted Sasuke and Sota where calmly eating, Kakashi kept glancing over at Kagome trying to figure her out, she was nothing like the other Kunoichi in the village, he knew she was brave and can fight but she also had this vibe that spoke of calm, weary like she had been in war already and lived while losing so much, plus she didn't try to throw herself at him or try to flirt with him witch was a relief but then if it was why did he feel a little put out.

Kagome knew Kakashi was looking at her she could feel it she was getting a little annoyed about it, if he wanted something he should just ask already and be done with it. She knew he was probably confused because she wasn't head over heels obsessed with him like the other women in the village that she heard about from Inoichi, she wasn't going to go to that level she had more respect for herself than that plus with everything that happened with Inuyasha she was weary of men.

"is there something I can help you with Kakashi" Kagome asked

Kakashi jumped barely noticeable before replaying "no I was just wondering why you agreed to go on this mission"

"the hokage asked me to go I agreed to help if the mission becomes to hard or life threatening for your team" she replayed

Naruto and the others looked back and forth at them as they talked "well I'm glad you came Kagome nee its awesome seeing how you kicked that Zabuza's butt" Naruto exclaimed

Kagome put her chopsticks down as she said "yeah about zabuza he is still alive"

"WHAT?!" everyone besides Kakashi yelled

"hunter nin don't take the whole body they only take the head of the rouge ninja and burn the body" Kakashi explain team seven looked nervous "don't worry your training will start tomorrow" Kakashi said.

"Why bother?" everyone looked at the entrance to the living room where a boy about eight years old with black spiked hair dark eyes. "Inari" Tazuna said "grandpa!" Inari yelled as he ran to him and gave him a hug.

"what did you say?" Naruto asked making sure his hearing was still working Inari looked at Naruto "i said why bother training your just going to lose and die anyway" "INARI!" Tazuna and Tsunami Inari looked at them and ran out of the room "why that-" Naruto said and ran off after him.

Naruto found Inari in his room, he was about to go in and yell at him when he saw Inari looking at a frame sniff sniff "papa" Naruto turned and walked away.
