"Huh!? Are you saying it's my fault because I interfered Naruto's fight with Sesshomaru?" asked Inuyasha with a shocked expression, looking at Kagome and the others who told him about the other day when Naruto and Sesshomaru fight again. But, Inuyasha is the one who caused the fight and almost got himself kill.

"Yes, Inuyasha. You interfered him and stopped his fight. Naruto wouldn't have won against Sesshomaru if you..." said Kagome. She disappointed in the looks of him. She never thought of him would ever do that. Miroku agreed with Kagome's words. Naruto wouldn't have won against Sesshomaru with his Kyuubi Chakra mode.

Inuyasha can't believe Kagome and the others didn't like what he did. He interferes Naruto because he's stronger than him. He's jealous of him. Naruto has a strong spirit in him and 9 demons inside of him. After that from last battle, Inuyasha still loses to Sesshomaru and then Naruto saved him. He scowled at Naruto for strong. He turned his face away from him and walks away. He's being a quiet person.

Naruto understands why Inuyasha did it. He's jealous of his power. He has seen him fights his brother, Sesshomaru with his heavy Tetsusaiga, but he got defeated so quickly. All he did is charging like a barbarian without using strategy. Of course, he doesn't use it a lot if he's pretty angry.

"Naruto, I'm sorry about Inuyasha. Please, don't blame him." said Kagome, stood beside Naruto.

"It's alright. Since you guys are friends, I wouldn't do that… By the way..." He said as Kagome looks at him with a questioning look. "You guys seem pretty close together. Are you his-" Until now, he sees Kagome blushed and suddenly stomped in his feet without thinking. Naruto screamed in pain and started to hop around on his foot.

Kagome is shocked for stomped on his foot. She didn't mean to do that. Well, she can't help it. "Naruto, I'm sorry! So sorry!" She said, but she realized she's still in love with Inuyasha. But, she's in love with Naruto more than him.

Kurama and the others Bijuu were laughing so hard how the girl stomped into Naruto's foot. She was like Sakura who always beat him up. Miroku and the others were laughing at Naruto, too.

"It's okay! I'm okay-ttabayo!" Naruto gives a thumb up for Kagome, but his foot is still hurt. Man, his mother was right. Choosing women are scary. "Well, it's my fault that I caused you."

"Y-Yeah…" said Kagome with an embarrassed look while looked down at her feet. "Well, he was a very close friend to me. He was kinda like a brother to me. We actually hang out together a lot in my time before you first met us." She means in the forest where she met Naruto.

"I see. That's good because you guys look match together." smiled Naruto

Kagome blushed. "It's n-not what you're thinking…" She said, but sadly she remembered Inuyasha's heart is still belonging with Kikyo.

"What's wrong, Kagome?" asked Naruto, taking a close to look at her because her face seems sad.

"I sensed the Shikon Jewel." said Kagome. She ain't lying. She actually found a scent of two shards of Shikon.

"What?!" Inuyasha reacts when he heard Shikon.

Kagome sensed of Shikon presence is getting closer. She sees the wind just blew her and the others. The tornado wind stopped and vanished. It's Koga.

"Yo!" He said.

"Koga!" said Kagome

"I caught your scent, Kagome, and came here to see you." said Koga as he walked to Kagome, but Inuyasha is blocking his way for not letting him near her.

"What do you want, wolf cub?" He asked

"Huh?" asked Koga with the angry face.

"Inuyasha, don't pick a fight." said Kagome

"Shut up… depending on the way it goes, I'll kill him!" said Inuyasha

"Hah! You haven't changed a bit, mutt. And you, Naruto." said Koga, glares at Naruto.

"Me?" He asked, pointing his own self.

"Yeah, remembered this isn't over yet!" said Koga

"Don't mess with him, Koga! He's way stronger than you!" said Shippo, jumped on Naruto.

Naruto sighed how stupid Koga was. He already beat him one on one, but still, he hasn't given up for Kagome. He skipped that one. "Anyways, Koga. Have you found Naraku's location yet?" He asked.

"Don't you guys know?" asked Koga

"Naraku has a barrier around his castle. Why don't let us avenge your comrade's deaths and hand over the Shikon Jewel fragment you have in both your legs." said Inuyasha, put his hand on his Tetsusaiga.

Koga's eyes are twitching and knew that Inuyasha will attack him with it.

"And just go back to your nest!" yelled Inuyasha. He's swinging down into Koga, but he dodges his attack. Koga smirked at him because he realized his blade is heavy.

"What's the matter, dogface? You seem awfully clumsy in handling your sword." He said

"Damn!" said Inuyasha

"The Tetsusaiga is still too heavy for him." said Shippo

"Yep." said Naruto

Koga made a fun of Inuyasha for not lifting his own Tetsusaiga. So, he had enough of him. He decided to run away from him with his speed by using Shikon Shards in his both legs.

"Don't run away!" Inuyasha charges at him, but his Tetsusaiga is too heavy for him and caused him to stop chasing Koga.

"Sorry, but I have no time to fight with you." yelled Koga, running as fast as he can like a wolf. He also has something to say to Inuyasha before he's leaving. "Dogface! I'll leave Kagome in your care until I kill that Naraku! Don't you dare lay one finger on her!"

"What?!" asked Inuyasha

"Just ignore him." said Naruto


"It's Naraku's smell!" yelled Inuyasha. He and the gangs are running in the forest because he found the smell of Naraku. Inuyasha is running so fast because he wanted to kill Naraku.

"Wait, Inuyasha!" yelled Kagome, being carried by Naruto.

"Don't go off on your own!" said Miroku

"He can't even wield heavy Tetsusaiga!" said Naruto

"It's not only Naraku I smell! I catch the smell of that pesky Koga as well! I'm the one who's gonna destroy Naraku! I won't let Koga get ahead of me!" thought Inuyasha

Naruto sees Koga jumped out from the bushes and running away from someone. He never thought of him would run away. "Koga, why are you running?!" He asked before he sees a person right in front of him and suddenly attacks him. Naruto held Kagome tightly as he dodged the man with Yellow Flash before it hit Kagome. The man wears green clothes. His long hair is pink and has the chains around his both hands. He has the mask on his mouth.

"So you've finally come, Naruto." said Naraku

"Naraku!" said Naruto

"Koga realized he couldn't win and ran off. He's smarter than I thought." said Naraku

"Hah! Don't put me in the same class as that cowardly wolf!" said Inuyasha

"This is another one of Naraku's incarnations." said Miroku

"Juromaru, I'll remove your seal. Fight to your heart's content." said Naraku as Juromaru's mask is sealed off and his chains are sealed off, too. After his seals are off, Juromaru slashes Naraku with his bare hand. Everyone can't believe that Naraku's incarnations killed him. He just suddenly killed him.

Naruto has a bad feeling about him when his seals were removed. "I have a bad feeling about this guy." His thought as he sensed his aura is strong and wonder why he sees a shining in Juromaru's mouth.

"Once the bit is removed. Juromarus is unstoppable until he kills every living thing around him." said Naraku as he disappeared.

"It's probably just a demon puppet, but he just slashed the head of Naraku who's supposed to be an ally." said Miroku

"Can't he tell the difference?" asked Sango

"That's why he was shackled and bridled." said Kagome

Juromaru is taking breathe and charging to Naruto. Naruto dodges his attack and punches at Juromaru's face. However, it's strange. Juromaru shouldn't have a dodge of his attack.

"What the hell?! Why didn't he dodged?" thought Naruto

Inuyasha begins to attack at Juromaru before he escapes, but he blocks his attack and delivered him back. The strength of his evenly matches to Inuyasha.

"They're evenly matched!" said Miroku

"Fuuton Kazekiri no Jutsu!" said Naruto as the wind blades are targeting at Juromaru by making a hand sign.

Juromaru dodges the wind blades with his speed, but Inuyasha is behind and attacks his back. However, something it interferes him for attacking him. It made Inuyasha confused about it. He thinks Juromaru attacked him, but it wasn't.

"What's going on?!" His thought as he saw something white flash right pass him.

"That wasn't just an arm… It was…" thought Naruto. At that moment, something came out from the ground again and slashed through Naruto's shoulder. Then, it went through Inuyasha's shoulder, too.

"What was that?!" asked Naruto

"It came from the ground!" said Inuyasha as he sees the white light thing jumped in front of Juromaru. When strange light is gone, there's a small demon is eating flesh meat from them. It has two long blades like the scythe.

"Those fellow's guts tasted pretty good, Juromaru." said the demon

"Damn! So there's another one!" said Inuyasha

"Who are you?!" asked Naruto

"I am Kageromaru. I was fast asleep inside Juromaru's belly." said Kageromaru

"Inside Juromaru's belly? Then." said Kagome

"So the bit was to prevent you from coming out!" said Miroku

"Juromaru only listens to me. Even if the opponent was Naraku." said Kageromaru

"What?!" asked Sango

"Now then, let's feast on the rest of them, Juromaru." said Kageromaru

"Kazaana!" yelled Miroku as he going to use it, but Kageromaru's speed is too fast for him and slashes Miroku's hand.

"Miroku!" said Sango as she sees Juromaru is charging to her. "Hiraikotsu!" as she's throwing her Hiraikotsu at Juromaru, but he hit it back to Sango.

"Sango, watch out!" yells Miroku as he saved Sango's life as Kageromaru cut his arm. After Kageromaru landed on the ground, he is laughing at Miroku

"Kazaana!" said Miroku as his palm is opened the black hole and sucking Kageromaru, but he jumped away from him with his speed.

"Just what are you sucking up?" asked Kageromaru

Miroku closed his Kazaana and looking for a target, but he can't find him. That demon is too fast and goes in under. "Above me!" he said

"Too late. And you think you can defeat us with that speed." Kageromaru said as Juromaru is biting Miroku's arm and pit him down.

"Miroku!" said Inuyasha as he's slashing to Kageromaru, but he dodges his attack. "Miroku, are you all right?!"

"I was more afraid of your sword!" said Miroku

"Then just pull the covers and sleep it off!" said Inuyasha

"Inuyasha! You mustn't move!" yells Kagome as she's chasing Inuyasha, but Kageromaru is behind her and going to kill her.

"Kagome!" yells Inuyasha

"Oh no, you don't!" yelled Naruto, used Hiraishin no Jutsu to get closer Kagome. He kicks Kageromaru away from her. Then, Koga has arrived and punch into Kageromaru, but he dodged his attack.

"Koga! I thought you ran away!" yells Inuyasha

"I come here to save Kagome, but lucky Naruto saved her life." asks Koga as he's looking at Kageromaru "So what is that stupid looking demon?"

"He came out of Juromaru's gut." said Inuyasha

"He's fast." said Naruto

"No wonder… The cold I sensed coming from Juromaru… It was him." thought Koga

"That's Kageromarus is so fast, we can't keep up." said Miroku

"Just who do you think I am? There's no one who can outrun these legs." said Koga

"It seems talk is all you have."

"Well, that does it! I'll twist your head off!" said Koga as he rushed to Kageromarus and punch him, but he dodges his attack by jumping.

"You're not worth your talk. Is that as fast as you can go?" asked Kageromaru

"Damn!" said Koga

Juromaru is attacking Koga from behind.

"Konoha Senpuu!" yelled Naruto as he did 180-degree high kick to Juromaru.

"Juromaru! I'm your opponent!" yelled Inuyasha as he swings his sword to Juromaru, but he dodged his swing and grabbed him on the ground. Naruto quickly kicks Juromaru away from Inuyasha.

"Right here!" yelled Koga

"He's anticipating Kageromarus's moves." said Shippo

Kageromarus jumped attack Koga, but he dodges his attack and back kicks to him. "Finishing blow!" he yelled as he punches Kageromarus and the ground is collapsing out. Everyone took delight, but…

"No, he's still in the ground!" said Naruto

When the smoke is gone, Koga didn't catch him or see it. "Gone! He escaped, but where!" He said as he searches around until now, Kageromarus jumped out from the ground, flies toward to Inuyasha and slashes in his arm.

"W-what! From beneath the soil!" said Koga.

After Inuyasha got hit, Juromaru punches him in the face and crashed through the trees. Naruto tries to slash Kageromarus, but he keeps going under the ground and then slashes him.

"Damn it!" he growled.

Koga tries to punch Kageromarus on the ground again, but he shocked for missed it again. Kageromarus slashed in his leg, and then he went to Naruto. He cuts through Naruto's leg. Both of them have taken down because their legs.

"Now then… I think I'll have that girl's liver." said Kageromaru

"What?!" asked Miroku

"Kageromaru, don't you dare touch Kagome…!" said Koga

"I'll eat her bones and all!" said Kageromaru as he's charging to Kagome.

"No wait!" yelled Koga as he's chasing to Kageromaru, but Juromaru is in his way.

"Too late!" said Kageromaru, lifting his blade up, going for a slice at Kagome and eat her liver. However, Naruto used Hiraishin jutsu to save Kagome's life. He risked his arm to stop Kageromaru's blade and protect Kagome's life.

"Naruto!" said Kagome

"You will not hurt my friend!" He yelled as he punches Kageromaru, but he dodges his attack. However, Inuyasha is right behind him and slashed the blade off.

"How about that!?" yelled Inuyasha as he swings down into Kageromaru, but he went underground and sneak attack again.

Kagome rushed to Naruto. She was shocked when Naruto saved her life by risking his own arm to stop Kageromaru's blade. "Naruto!" She said, stopped at next to him.

"Kagome, are you okay?" asked Naruto

"Yes…but your arm…" said Kagome.

"No worries." said Naruto as his arm is healing itself that was from Kurama's chakra. It's quick healing. However, Koga is fighting Juromaru with his injury leg. He can't run or dodge.

"Tsk! That guy is so useless! Just watch me, wolf cub! I shall defeat Juromaru." said Inuyasha

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" yelled Naruto as he summons 15 clones and charging to Juromaru, but Kageromaru killed some of them by digging. He's too fast. He sliced them like cutting bamboo.

"Damn it! There's no way of knowing where underground Kageromaru will attack." said Miroku. Sango got an idea that can stop Kageromaru attacking the others from the ground.

"I know! If as least Kageromaru can be restrained. Miroku, give your staff." She said as she untied her shoulder plate armor.

"Do you have a plan?" asked Miroku as he gives his staff to Sango.

Sango grabbed the staff and put it into the pink cream which it called poison. "This poison… won't work too long, but it should force Kageromaru out into the open." She said as she throws the staff into the ground and the poison is spreading around inside the soil. The soil turned into red.

"The soil is turning red!" Kagome said

At that moment, Kageromaru jumped out from ground and coughing because he was being poisoned.

"Nice one, Sango!" said Naruto.

"He won't hide in the ground this time!" said Inuyasha

Koga jumped and punch Kageromaru, but he dodges it. Inuyasha is going at him before swinging his sword, but Juromaru punched him. He sent a flies to crashed Koga against the tree.

"Shame on you, dogface! You gonna die this time?" He ranted.

"Inuyasha! Hang on!" said Kagome

"Don't panic, Kagome. I can handle the rest all by myself." said Koga as he's charging to Juromaru.

Naruto is looking out for Kageromaru by sensing his aura. He isn't in the ground anymore or the forest. But wait, there's a shining in Juromaru's mouth. "Oh no!" He figures out and Inuyasha, too. Both of them.

"Fool! Koga, come back!" said Inuyasha

"Stay back, dogface!" said Koga as he denied Inuyasha's saying and still charging Juromaru without notice.

Naruto had no choice to use his form. He transforms into Kyuubi Chakra mode and went in front of Koga. Koga was shocked that Naruto is already there. He also saw Kageromaru is coming out from Juromaru's mouth and attacking Naruto. Naruto created Giant Rasengan with three regular-size Rasengan on his hand. Juromaru smirked at Naruto for being too late to attack him, but…

Naruto stretches out of chakra arm and directly hit Juromaru along with Kageromaru. "Wakeusei Rasengan (Planetary Rasengan)" He yelled as Kageromaru along with Juromaru were both got pushed back. It wave-like vortex.

"He did it!" said Miroku

Koga's eyes were widened. He sensed Naruto's aura is powerful and faster than his speed.

"Naruto, are you alright?!" asked Kagome, ran toward Naruto.

"I'm fine." Naruto deactivates his Kyuubi Chakra mode and fell down to sit. He was tired of fighting that mole-digging demon because he's tough. "It's finally over." Before he sees Kagome stood next to him and help him up.

"Why…?" She asked.

"Huh?"

"Why would you risk your life to save me?"

"Because…" Naruto begins flashback in the Fourth Shinobi War. He saw his close friend died in his arms. He made the same picture like Kagome. "I won't let my friends die. Never happen again…"


Next day

"Thank you, Kagome! You're a big helper!" said Naruto, watching Kagome is using the medical cream on his arm. He tried to tell her that it can heal itself, but she just doesn't listen. Oh well, he don't mind.

Kagome smiled at Naruto for being nice to her. Of course, he's too nice. His personality is kind and cares about friends. He has a big heart in him. She gets up and went to the door. "Well then, I'm going back home. Did you hear, Inuyasha?" she asked, looking at Inuyasha is laying on the ground without looking.

"Be quiet, will ya? Just go already!" He said.

"Every time you return, you two get into some argument." said Kaede

"Kagome, you should get rest, too." said Naruto

"I will. Thanks for saying that." said Kagome with a smile at Naruto before she goes out and heads toward to her time. Inuyasha's head turned away and not going with Kagome.

"Did she just smiled at Naruto?" asked Miroku

Naruto got up and put his jacket on.

"Where are you going?" asked Shippo

"I'm going for a walk and get some fresh air while you guys are resting." He said, before he left the house and goes out for exploring.

"He's such as polite." said Kaede

"Yeah, he is." said Miroku


Kagome's house

"I'm back!" said Kagome, entered her home and meets her family.

"Kagome!" said Mrs. Higurashi

"Sis!" said Sota

"Oh, welcome back! Do you want to eat? Or do you want a bath?" asked Mrs. Higurashi, already prepared the dinner for Kagome.

"A bath." said Kagome, walking upstair and heads to her head before taking a bath.

"You look so tired. I'll run your bath right now." said Mrs. Higurashi

"Thanks." said Kagome

"Now, now… put down your backpack." said Higurashi

"I can't believe that was a conversation between a mother and a daughter." said Grandpa Higurashi

"More like a husband who's been away on assignment and his wife." said Sota

After Kagome took her bath, she is blowing dryer her hair.

"Kagome, how long are you staying this time?" asked Sota

"I'll take a nap, then leave. Oh, Sota… can you get me the bandages and antibiotics?" asked Kagome

After that, Kagome jumped into her bed. She's going to take a nap. She was so exhausted for going out adventure to search for Shikon and the enemy, Naraku. "Oh… A bed is sooo nice." She said

Flashback.

"Kagome!" yelled Shippo as Kagome stopped climbing the well.

"Shippo." said Kagome

"Please be patient, Kagome. Inuyasha always gets jealous over you. Inuyasha is small-minded. That's why he takes Koga's words so seriously. He's a pitiful idiot who is actually very insecure. And because he's so in love with you…" said Shippo

"Thank you, Shippo. I'm just going back to get more medicine and bandages. I'll be right back. But don't tell Inuyasha that." said Kagome

"Oh yeah! I have a very important question to ask, Kagome." said Shippo

"What is it?" asks Kagome

"Do you like Naruto?" asked Shippo, before Kagome's cheeks suddenly went red as a tomato. That's unexpected lover question.

"Wh-What?! Where did that come from?!" She asked

"It's because you smiled at him. Naruto is being so nice to you and helped you a lot. Even I saw you guys fell down together and laying on top of Naruto-" said Shippo as his head got punch by Kagome's fist and jumped into the well.

Flashback end.

Kagome is blushed harder as a tomato that Shippo told her she's in love Naruto. That's crazy. Her relationship with Naruto is a friend, not a lover. However, she can't get rid of that embarrassed moment which it's from the small cabin. "That's impossible… There's no way I'm in love with Naruto." she said as she fallen to sleep.


Naruto is sitting on the branches of the tree, watching the sky and sun are setting. It made his memories back in time where he and Sasuke were training how to control their chakra in the forest. It's sad to have that because he missed everyone. He hopes he can find the way to go back to his own world.

"Hey, don't worry. You'll find the way to get back to your world. Kaede will find the way." said Matatabi

"You think so..."

"Well, after you defeat Naraku, Kaede will know about the Shikon." said Son

"I guess so." said Naruto before he begins to sleep on the tree.


The next day...

"Guys, I'm back…" said Naruto as he sees his friends look depressed. "What's wrong?"

"It's about Kagome. She ain't coming back again." said Miroku

It made Naruto shock when he hears this. He wasn't there because he slept in the tree. Just what's going on while he's gone? Did something happen to Kagome? "What? Why?" He asked

"Because Inuyasha kept thinking about Kikyo! His heart still belongs her. That's why she isn't coming back." said Shippo.

Naruto remembered his past that he used to be jealous and alone. He went outside again.

"Where are you going?" asks Shippo

"I'm going to see Kagome." said Naruto, before he went outside… he sees Inuyasha. He's standing right by the tree.

Naruto can't believe it's him who hurt Kagome's feeling. He's very pissed for what he did last night. Inuyasha's heart is still belonging with Kikyo. He rejected Kagome. He made her cry, hurt, and jealous of Kikyo.

"I heard what you did to her…" He said.

"Just where did you think you're going?" Inuyasha ignored his statement, but his face isn't in the good mood anymore.

"Why do you care? She ain't your friend, right? Your heart still belongs with Kikyo which I heard from them. I'm going after Kagome while you just sit there like you do nothing."

Inuyasha growled at him for getting insulted. "What did you said?!" He asked.

Miroku and the others people come out of the house. They see Naruto and Inuyasha were fighting.

"You heard me!? You just going sit there and do nothing like crap!" said Naruto, takes out of his kunai from the pocket when he sees Inuyasha held his sword. He knew he won't allow him to see Kagome.

"How dare you…said that!? I'm going to kick your ass!" angered Inuyasha, charging at Naruto. He used Sankon Tessou on him. Naruto simply side-step the attack and knees attack Inuyasha in his stomach. He grabbed his arm and slammed it into the ground. Inuyasha growls at him for beaten as he gets up and charged at him again.

"Inuyasha, that's enough!" yelled Miroku, but stopped by Kaede. "Kaede…"

"He won't listen… No matter what you try to warn him." She said

Naruto sighed how rage Inuyasha is. He just doesn't use his idea. All he could do, is swinging his sword at Sesshomaru which that was a few days ago. Inuyasha's goal is to kill Naraku. However, he's not strong. "You're not strong enough to defeat Naraku by yourself. The only way to defeat him is teamwork." said Naruto, dodging Inuyasha's attack.

"I'm the one who will kill Naraku by my sword and claws!" He yelled. There he goes again. He wanted Naraku without needing anyone helps.

"Then, why are you using Kagome as your sensor to find Shikon for you? What are you going to do about that? Become a full demon?" asked Naruto, punched into Inuyasha's face and sent him to crash into the tree. Inuyasha is getting anger and anger. He kept beaten by a blond human. He was holding back. So, Inuyasha draws out heavy Tetsusaiga and going to kill him with it. Miroku and everyone were shocked for he's going to destroy Naruto with Tetsusaiga. Moreover, he's planning to use Kaze no Kizu on him.

"Shut up! You don't even know everything!" yelled Inuyasha, held heavy Tetsusaiga with two-handed. He lifts his Tetsuaiga and swings down into Naruto. He dodges the swing by a dashing and delivered Inuyasha multiple punches.

"You're right, I don't know everything. I just a part of your team and don't know anything what she did to you. But, do you even realize Kagome is doing for you?" asked Naruto, made Inuyasha's eyes widened. When Inuyasha like that, Naruto head-butt on the forehead and palm hits into the stomach.

"How do you know about her?! Why is she liked that!?" yelled Inuyasha, swinging his Tetsusaiga to release the Kaze no Kizu against Naruto. An energy wave is dashing toward at Naruto.

"Can't believe he used that?!" shocked Kaede.

"Naruto, move!" yelled Shippo

Naruto closed his eyes to wait for Kaze no Kizu to get closer him. He raises his arm in mid-air and opened his palm before the special attack is coming. Just as Kaze no Kizu is close, Naruto just stopped Inuyasha's attack. However, that's not it. He absorbed it.

"What?!" shocked Inuyasha.

"He…He absorbed Inuyasha's Kaze no Kizu." said Miroku

"I have never seen anyone used that." said Sango

The Bijuu couldn't believe that Naruto used that move before. It's exactly almost like Nagato's ability.

"That can't be… Since when did he…"

"Naruto, you're…"

Naruto's eyes became light purple with ripple pattern that spreads over the eyeball. "Gakidō. It can absorb energy in any form." He said, before his eyes quickly back in normal as the Kaze no Kizu absorbed. He charged at Inuyasha with Yellow Flash.

"Wanna know why!? Because she really loves you! Kagome has been holding her feeling for a long time!" He gave final delivered to Inuyasha with Rasengan. The tree begins to break through while Inuyasha fly toward the forest. He is out of cold, but not yet. He still sees Naruto is here with him.

"But, it's too late. She feels like a curse. Kikyo causes Kagome pain. I think you do, too… If you hurt her feeling again, I'll kill you." said Naruto. He made Inuyasha into selfish. Inuyasha is the one who made Kagome cried and lost her suffering. He begins to feel ashamed himself.

Naruto had enough of this half-demon. He ran toward the well to meet Kagome because he wanted to makes sure she okay. When he's in the modern world, he hears a raining outside. "Woah…! Never thought of this will rain soon. That's some thunderstorm." He jumped out of the well and ran toward to Kagome's house.

It's strange. The weather should do the same thing like Feudal Era Sengoku Period. As he's at the house, he knocks the door. He hopes Kagome is home.

"Naruto! Have you seen Kagome?!" cried Mrs. Higurashi. It made Naruto surprised.

"What? I thought she's home." said Naruto

"She… She hasn't come home. I tried to call her friends. They said she weren't with them. Naruto, please you have to find her. She is scared of thunder."

Naruto nodded as he quickly vanished into Yellow Flash. "Kagome…where are you?! Please, be safe!" His eyes were a toad. That means he's in Sennin mode to find Kagome's energy because this city is big.


Kagome is sitting on the bench with the small rooftop of her. Her clothes were wet because the hard rain. Her face had no emotional. No happiness, no feeling, and no love. What happened was after her school is over; she hung out with her friends for a few minutes. She went away by herself before saying bye to her friends. Now, she saw the cloud is dark. So, she decided to take a walk for a while.

"Inuyasha…" She softy.

Flashback

Kagome is on the way to Kaede's house. She bought the medical packs with her, but she was flustered. She slept very late night because no one didn't wake her up. As she's in the forest, she sees a light glowing on the east side. She also sees a flying Shinidamachū, a flying eel carry the soul. She ran to follow it.

Until now, she sees Inuyasha and Kikyo were arguments. She shocked to see Inuyasha hugged Kikyo and told her he will protect her from Naraku. When their argument is over, Kikyo left Inuyasha while he shouting for her. He turned away around before he sees Kagome is hiding behind the tree.

"Kagome. Were you watching?" His thought, looking at Kagome.

"Inuyasha is looking straight at me. How? How can he not avert his eyes?" thought Kagome. She sees Inuyasha didn't move or talk to her. His eyes aren't blinking. Her heart is broken and she ran away from him.

Flashback ended.

Kagome feels like Inuyasha is betraying her because he kept going after Kikyo. She didn't return the Shikon Shard to him and the others. She just can't. "I must go to return the Shikon Jewel fragment, but I don't want to. I'm afraid! Once I give this back, I won't be able to see Inuyasha again! Don't tell me! That's… Kikyo… I wish Kikyo would just disappear!" She realized she wants Kikyo disappeared and leave Inuyasha alone. "Have… Have I turned into such a horrible woman? I… I…"

When the thunder made a strike, Kagome got scared. She thinks herself she's stupid and horrible. Her heart is beating to Naruto. She feels like she wants to see Naruto. "What is this feeling? I… I want to see him. I want to see you, Naruto…" Her thought.

Just in time, she sees Naruto right in front of her. His spiky hair is down. His clothes and red cloak were all wet because he ran through the heavy rain. He's here to find her and bring her home.

"Naruto…" softy Kagome.

"Kagome, thank goodness I found you. Your mother worried about you…" said Naruto, walking toward her. But, he sees her face have no emotional. It must be… no. He shouldn't talk about that one. It'll hurt her feeling. Wait, he hears her sobbing.

"Naruto… Have I… Have I turned into such a horrible woman?" She asked, as she's looking at him with watery eyes.

Naruto shook his head no. "No, you're not. You just… have too much pressure." He said. The lightning strikes again. Kagome ran toward him like a cat and hugged him. She held him tightly because she's scared of lightning. She's crying into his chest. Naruto felt her pain when she saw Inuyasha. She really likes Inuyasha a lot. Naruto carried Kagome in bridal style and went back home with Yellow Flash.


Naruto has bought Kagome back her home safely while the raining. The weather is still raining and makes thundering. So, he'll have to stay at her house because Kagome's mother wants him to stay with her daughter.

"Naruto, I'm sorry I made you get yourself wet… I was an idiot to stay in the rain." said Kagome, sitting on her bed. Naruto is sitting on the chair and holding the soup bowl for her.

"It's fine. I got used to it." He said as he grabs the soup with a spoon and gently feed Kagome. Kagome blushed for getting a treat by him. She is thinking about a lover!

"Naruto… I…I can do this by myself-"

"Nope, I won't let you. Say ahhhh."

Kagome took a bite of soup. Her face is so red as a heart. She can't stop thinking about that part. By the way, that was her last bite of soup. After the soup done, Naruto put the empty bowl on the deck.

"Kagome, I heard what happened to you when I came Kaede's house." He said.

"Yeah…" said Kagome with tears as she remembered the days where she watched Inuyasha and Kikyo a lot. "I got jealous of Kikyo because Inuyasha always chased after Kikyo back in the day. That's when I made a promise to bring them a happy ending, but I…"

Naruto has the same one, too. He made a promise for Sakura, her teammate that he will bring Sasuke back to the village and she loves him. "Well, broken loves can hurt us." He said.

"You have one, too?" asked Kagome, wiping away her tears.

"You remembered the one night where I told you my story about rescue my close friend. I did the same thing like you."

Kagome knows Naruto made a promise to Sakura for bringing Sasuke back to the village. He's just like her. Making a promise is hard. "Are you in…"

"Yeah, it's Sakura. She used to be my dream girl, but I found out she likes Sasuke. I didn't confess her in 3 years later because she is still my teammate. I gave all of my strength to defeat Sasuke, but he's far stronger than me. However, I kept going and going chase after Sasuke until he surrenders and I fully accomplished my promise for Sakura."

"But, didn't your friend become a good guy?"

"That was in the war. I heard he learned the truth from reincarnate Hokages. After Sasuke and I sealed Kaguya away, I didn't make it. I didn't have a chance to tell her I love her, so I told Sasuke to take care her for me."

"I-I'm so sorry you have the pain that." said Kagome, holding his hand. "Hey, Naruto, have you ever kissed before?"

Naruto's face started into red as train smoke comes out from the ears. Oh boy, that one is the worst. Kurama is cheering for him. The others Bijuu can't wait until Kagome laugh at his story. "I…I kissed a Sasuke in Ninja Academy… That was 4 years ago…" He releases his crying like a baby.

Kagome's giving him a look for a second, thinking about the kissed. She… She burst out of her laugh. "Seriously! You kissed a guy! That was so funny!" She can't stop her laugh because Naruto first kissed is so funny.

"Hey! It's Sasuke's fault! He's the one who started it! I shouldn't have kicked his ass when I have a chance." said Naruto, turning away from her. But, he glad he made Kagome happy and laugh. "Well, since you learned my embarrassing part, you should get a sleep. It's getting late."

The thunder strikes in the air. It made Kagome scream and scared before she grabbed his arm.

"Sorry, Naruto, but can you… can you sleep with me just a night? Please…" She asked with blushed, making a puppy eyes.

Naruto is blushing, too for sleeping with Kagome. He can't just say no and leave her alone because she can't sleep until the thunder is done. Well, guess he has no choice.

"Alright." He said, taking out his jacket first before sleeping with Kagome. He is sleeping on her bed and next to her. But, before doing that, the thunder strike again. It made Kagome jumped as she hugged Naruto. She went hella red for touching his warmth chest.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't-" said Kagome, but she got herself pull into him. She sees his arms wrapped around her body.

"Go to sleep, Kagome… It'll be fine…" said Naruto with a sleepy face.

"He's sleeping…" shocked Kagome. But, she feels better now with him when the thunder strike.


Next day…

"Come on, Kagome. They're waiting for us." said Naruto, standing on the edge of the well to wait for her. He's holding Kagome's backpack for her.

Kagome got out of the well and holds her backpack. "Books? Check. Medicine? Check. Food? Check. I'm all set." Before going to the village, she wasn't sure going back. "Naruto, do you think I'm strong?"

"Of course. You're strong, courage, and pretty." said Naruto as he grabs her hand and drags her along with him. That makes those two run together. Kagome feels his hand is warm and his kind smile. She can his aura is light and bright. She sees his golden flaming light-jacket. A strange marks on his back. She thought it was him, but she decides not to tell him yet.

"Naruto, thank you."
