Chapter 17

the Outcome and welcome to the Higurashi clan

Third person pov

After defeating the oni,the bridge got complete team seven was saying goodbye to the village while zabuza, Haku and Kirara with Sota on her back off to the side, Inari and Naruto where trying not to cry in front of one another witch just made Kagome smile as she tried not to laugh.

Heading back home, with Zabuza and Haku tied up Kagome and Kirara where in the front leading the way, Kagome looked over at Sota and couldn't help but sigh, team seven looked at her as they saw her shoulders down, Naruto and the others caught up to her to walk beside her.

Naruto kept looking at Sota and couldn't help but ask what has been on everyone's mind "Hey sis, what's going to happen to Sota?"

Kagome knew the question was coming she just hoped it wouldn't be asked until later a lot later, "sigh, Sota will no longer be on team seven and will have his monk powers and kekkei genkai bind, until he realizes what is really important"

Kakashi looked over when she stop her explanation and saw a lone tear fall, he knew what would happen should Sota not stop this path he started on and couldn't help but feel sad for the woman, for some reason he wanted to hold her, to comfort her and tell her everything will be alright.

The rest of walk was silence until they got to the gate of the village, before they got there they put masked on Zabuza and Haku so not to alarm the villagers, they made it to the Hokage office where Sarutobi waited.

The third looked at team seven and the others, after reading the mission report he got from his students shishigami, he felt sadness as he looked over at Sota, he had hoped this wouldn't come to pass for the young Higurashi boy, but it has, now they would need to do whatever it took to help him come back to the right path. the Hokage looked at the two in cuffs as the masks have come off after they came in and had the Anbu take them to the dungeons to wait for trial.

Sarutobi sighed "Kagome do you know what you are going to do about your brother?"

"yes Hokage-sama but first could we get the people I asked to come here before I do this"

Sarutobi nodded "Kakashi, team seven, go get Inoichi Yamanaka, Choza Akimichi and Shikaku Nara"

Once they left Sarutobi looked at his student in sadness as he watch her lean on the wall looking out at the village,

"is this really the only way child?" he asked,

"yes sensei , if I don't he will probably be more dangerous than even Orochimaru or the akatsuki" Kagome said

Early on when the third started training her he told her about Orochimaru and the akatsuki and about how Itachi is with the akatsuki, so she had her shishigami birds find, fallow and listen, so far the akatsuki are laying low while Orochimaru suddenly just disappeared.

The door open and team seven with Inoichi, Choza, and Shikaku came in after explaining what will happen everybody looked at the three wondering if they where willing to help.

Kagome watched there aura, they where all thinking and communicating with there eyes

"what exactly are you wanting us to do Hokage-sama?" Shikaku asked

It was Kagome who answered "we, the Hokage and I, mostly me where hoping you take the time when your not on missions to help Sota, be there for him, talk to him about our father, anything really, you three where in our father's journal, he talked about you four would hang out, go on missions together, you are our father's best friends besides the fourth, the white fang and Jiraiya so please will you help?"

the three looked at Kagome and could see Ken in her, they knew they would help not just for the young woman but for there dearest friend, Inoichi and the others nodded while saying

"we will help"

After they agreed the third lead them all down to the lower level, there were two Anbu beside the door, once they entered Kagome started to make the circle, while the others stood by the side.

Kpov

Once I finished the circle I took Sota off Kirara's back without stepping out of the circle, I put Sota down in the middle, and pulled his jacket and shirt off and threw them out of the circle, I then drew designs on his body that Kaede taught me for binding the holy powers where it stopped at his forehead circling the skull that started to form on the mission, the top of the skull head and arrow feathers already there and black, I was lucky to have stopped it there for if it had finish forming I shudder at the thought.

I stepped back and everybody watched as the sacred sutras dissolved Kakashi, Inoichi, Choza, and Shikaku tensed in case Sota got free of the circle I and all in the room knew they would not hesitate to protect the third and us.

Third person pov

Sota woke up with a headache, he then remembered what happened and sat up he looked around wondering where he was when he saw his team, the Hokage, three men that he didn't recognized and Kirara standing what looked to be outside of some circle he was in.

Sota looked again and found his sister standing not five feet from him, he glared and was going to stand up and fight only to feel some kind of force holding him down, he looked down to see his sisters holy powers around his wrist, legs and body, when he looked closer he saw designs on his body.

Sota's head snapped up, he narrowed his eyes as he spit out

"what the hell did you do to me"

Kagome frowned as she knew this would piss him off but she had no choice "I'm sorry Sota, Gato is dead, I killed him, there is no need for revenge anymore so I am giving you a choice, will you stop this insane hatred and let it go or will I have to go to the extreme ?"

Sota pulled on the invisible chains " you know what, you are a bitch, you took away my revenge and knocked me out!"

" I had no choice you were becoming a dark monk, had I let it happen I would have had to kill you Sota!"

Sota laughed sarcastically "at least I would have killed the bastard that killed mamma and gramps but no you had to steal that from me, it's always Kagome sweet, kind always there Kagome, well you know what if you had been there mamma and grandpa would still be here, I WISH YOU DIED INSTEAD OF THEM!"

Kpov

Everyone's eyes widen and gasped at that, I kept my face blank as I felt my heart break at what Sota said, I took a deep breath

" I'm sorry you feel that way"

I started the chant to bind his monk powers and the chant to bind his kekkei genkai,

priestess and monks of old

hear my call from above and beyond, come forth

bind this monks holy powers til darkness is no longer in his heart, his mind and his soul.

Ancestors of the Higurashi clan

come forth and bind this ones kekkei genkai

til his heart, his mind and his soul are one and light

come my brothers, sisters and beyond

bind him now til the light shines within him once again.

Third person pov

Everyone saw glowing orbs come down from the ceiling into the circle, men and women in robs they never scene, some holding bow and arrows, others holding swords and some holding staffs, they saw more orbs come down and saw the Higurashi clan, they even saw Ken stand beside Kagome while the clan stood behind them, they all either had there palm out towards Sota or there staff pointing at him.

Sota struggled and screamed in pain as the priestess and monks bind his holy powers as the clan bind his kekkei genkai it felt like a part of him was getting chained in burning iron, what Sota couldn't see that the others outside could was a dark form of Sota's monk powers and kekkei genkai it showed how dark it had become there was barely any white in the orb, as the holy ones of old along with Kagome and the Higurashi clan came to the end of the binding Sota screamed one last time before he fainted.

Kpov

I was breathing hard as I watched the priestess and monks and others go back up to the heavens, I watched as father walk over to Sota and press a kiss to his forehead, a tear fall from his eyes before he and the clan walked up to me.

Third pov

Ken smiled at his daughter before pressing a kiss on her forehead as well "We are so proud of you my daughter, your mother sends her love and to tell you to not blame yourself for this is not your fault, always fallow your heart and soul my child, should you need us you know how to call us"

Kagome smiled with tears running down, Ken looked over at the others "my friends thank you for agreeing to help my son, make sure you knock some sense into him for me yeah, til we see each other again and tell Jiraiya that he is still a perv"

Inoichi and the others smirked as they bowed to there friend, everyone watched as they glowed before dispersing, Kagome looked at Sota before turning to the third "it is done I will see you tomorrow" Kagome bowed before poofing out.

Naruto watched as Ino's dad walk into the circle and pick up his friend before he and the other two bowed to the Hokage before they left as well, team seven left and was walking though the village going to the Higurashi compound, Naruto turned to Kakashi while they walked "why did kagome-nee leave like that, I don't understand" Naruto said

It was Sakura that answered "Naruto you remember what Sota looked like when he was about to unleash his powers right and saw the skull about to form on his head?"

"yeah"

"well, Sota was turning evil, kagome-sama had to bind his powers to stop him and from the way it sounded, if she didn't then somebody would have, have to kill him"

Naruto's eyes widen in shock, Kakashi finished the explanation as they neared the compound

"It wouldn't have just been anyone Sakura, it would would have been Kagome herself, for the only way to stop a dark monk/priestess would be a monk/priestess of the light to kill them and since there isn't any other holy people around that anyone knows of Kagome would have to do it if she didn't find the spell when she did, also with seeing the dead of her family and clan as we did probably didn't help."

Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke all didn't know what to think or feel about that for they knew they would have been devastated about losing Sota but also felt that Kagome would have been hurt more than them about having to do that.

Naruto and Sasuke's hands clinched in a fist as anger rose as they thought about what Sota said to his sister, he should be lucky to have family around instead being selfish and they could understand that should there family show up like that they would want to be alone to.

Meanwhile at the Nara main compound

Inoichi with Sota in his arms, along with Choza and Shikaku walked in Shikaku's house to see Shikaku's wife cooking as there children with there sensei sat at the table,

Ino, Choji and Shikamaru looked on in confusion as there fathers walked past them to the back yard, they fallowed along with there sensei Asuma they watched as Ino's dad put a boy that they recognized as Sota on the ground while they stepped back.

Ino asked "dad, what are you and the others doing with Sota?"

Inoichi looked at his daughter before looking back at Ken's son while answering

"something happened on team seven's mission and because of it, Sota is no longer on team seven, and now will be staying with each one of us for certain length until certain events takes place, Asuma we will probably need you if Sota resisted and escapes"

Asuma nodded while Shikaku said "Shikamaru, go tell your mother to get a guest room ready for Sota and to expect his sister to come buy with his stuff"

Shikamaru sighed while saying how troublesome as he and Choji walk back in to do what his father wanted after telling his mother there was a knock on the door to witch they saw a woman who resembled Sota a little only more beautiful talk with shikamaru's mother for a few minutes before handing a bag and walked away, when they came back they saw Asuma standing with there fathers when everyone tensed as they heard a groan from Sota.

Sota groaned as he came to again, the events that happened came back to him as he opened his eyes to see the three men from before and another man standing over him, Sota stood about to go for his ninja pouch when the fat man with markings said "I wouldn't do that if I were you boy"

Sota glared at him "what's it to you and who are you guys to tell me what to do"

Inoichi smacked Sota in the back of the head "better watch it boy because from here on out your our responsibility besides Asuma here"

Sota looked at them before he tried to run only to stop by a shadow when he looked to see it connected him to a man that looked a lot like Shikamaru so he guessed it was his father.

"don't even think it boy your sister and the Hokage asked us to teach and watch over you until you learned your lesson also you are no longer on team seven until further notice" Shikaku said in a calm voice

"my sister should mind her own business" Sota yelled

Inoichi lost his patience then and yelled "your sister only did what was not only good for you but for the village, YOU DISHONOR YOUR PARENTS BUY DOING AND SAYING WHAT YOU DID!"

Sota flinched at that before Shikaku put the nail in the coffin and said "I know you didn't know your father but we did and he would diffidently be ashamed and disappointed in you, now go wash up for dinner"

once Shikaku released his jutsu Sota stomped into the house, Inoichi, Choza and Shikaku sighed as Asuma cleared his throat "well you three have your work cut out for you, I'm gonna head home call if you need me"

Back at the Higurashi compound

team seven and Kakashi watched as Kagome made dinner acting as if nothing had happen but they could tell that it bothered her, a lot, as Kagome set the plates down everyone started to eat, nobody was willing to bring up what had happen so instead just started eating, once dinner was done Sasuke and Naruto went to the back to start practicing as Sakura went with them to watch.

Kagome and Kakashi went out and watched with Sakura as the boys practiced, Kagome glanced at Sakura and decided to have her practice to since they are a team.

"Sakura come, I will teach you as well so you will not be behind these two"

Sakura looked up in surprise but grinned and nodded, Kagome took Sakura to the side and started to teach basic slayer moves to start by the time it got dark Sakura and Kakashi went home while the others went to bed.

The next morning

Kpov

I woke up and got in the shower, after changing into a blue kimono with white dogs on the bottom, white sash and the Higurashi clan symbol on the back for the meeting I needed to be at, as I made breakfast Naruto and Sasuke came down both still sleepy from late night training, once breakfast was done the boys went to training ground seven while I went to the Hokage tower.

When I got to tower I was lead to a room where the third along with the council were sitting, Zabuza and Haku stand in front of them waiting for there punishment.

"now that we are all here, we will now discuss what to do with Rouge ninja Zabuza and Haku" Sarutobi said

"why are we even discussing this they should be executed right now" Homura Mitokado said

"I agree this seems like a wast of time" Koharu Utatane said

Danzo Shimura nodded in agreement while saying "before they are executed we could see what they know then be done with them"

I look on indifferent but on the inside I was discussed with the council not to mention I didn't like Danzo's aura as it was fool of malice, deceit, hate and greed, I will need to talk to sensei about this soon,

"Kagome Higurashi come forward" Sarutobi said

I walked to the front standing before the council, "you want to propose something do you not?" Homura asked

I nodded "Hokage-sama and council members I propose that instead of killing them, have them be ninja's for the leaf"

Koharu stood "are you out of your mind?! They are killers, also the other nation's know who they are by there last name what clan would be willing to take them for this, what can they give?"

"Haku has a rare kekkei genkai that could benefit the village, not only that Haku is not a rouge ninja, also you as well as everyone else knows how skilled and talented Zabuza is, let them prove themselves to the village, names get change all the time as for what clan will take them, the Higurashi clan will." I said

Everyone looked on in shock while Sarutobi grinned at his student, nobody knew how to take that before Danzo opened is mouth "and how do you plan on making sure they true to the village"

I looked at Danzo "I have my ways"

Third person pov

The council looked at one another, debating, whispering and arguing, before the Hokage said "very well Zabuza and Haku will be on probation and will be Kagome Higurashi's responsibility"

Zabuza and Haku couldn't believe it they not only get to live but they now had a home, the Hokage cleared his throat making them looked at him as he stared at the two.

"you two should understand should you betray the village, Kagome will not be able to save you a second time."

After that everybody left besides the three, Kagome turned to them and said "welcome to the Higurashi clan"
