So I am recently completely obsessed with child Kagome stories. I've had a bunch of small random stories with this train of thought, but I've never written them out because they would never be able to make full stories. I've never been big on writing one-shots, but I figured this could be a fun start. Some of them will be short, some will be longer, some might even become more than just a one-shot. I will take requests of crossovers to do with a child Kagome and if you guys really like some of my one-shots I'll expand on them a bit. So here we go with the first one-shot of this series! Hope you enjoy!

Crossover: Naruto

Disclaimer: I don't own either Inuyasha or Naruto.

Title: Playing Catch with a demon

Kankuro's eyebrow twitched as he walked the annoying little chibi back to Gara's office. Gara had asked him to take her for a short tour around the village as him and her dad discussed business. At first, he hadn't minded, but he soon realized that she was really curious which made her extremely annoying.

"Hey Mr. Kankuro why are you wearing makeup?" she asked.

Kankuro held in a groan "Kagome, I am not wearing makeup."

A small pout formed on her face "But it looks like makeup. Like my mommy wears!"

Kankuro's eyebrow twitched again "It's not makeup, it's face paint."

Kagome let out a small giggle "Aren't they the same?"

"No." he denied.

Kagome slowed her pace "Are we going back to Daddy?"

Kankuro looked down and back to Kagome, he was told she was only six. They had been out for a while, maybe she was tired.

"Yeah we're heading back now. You doing okay?" he asked her. Gara would kill him if anything went wrong with Kagome. He was currently working on a partnership with Sesshomaru's village and if something happened to his daughter he would never hear the end of it.

Kagome nodded "I'm okay, just a little tired."

Kakuro let out a small sigh and knelt down "Hop on, I'll give you a ride back to the office."

Kagome's eyes lit up and climbed onto his back immediately. She let out a giggle as Kankuro quickened his pace. "Faster, faster!" she laughed out.

Kankuro let a smirk form, maybe the chibi wasn't so bad. She was pretty cute. About ten minutes later they made it back to Gara's office. He let Kagome off of his shoulders and she ran to the doors to Gara's office and pushed them open without a thought.

Kagome looked around the room for her Daddy, but he wasn't there. A small frown appeared on her face "Where's Daddy?"

Gara looked down at the child "He was called away for something important with my village elders. I will look after you until he gets back, he left your bag here." He told her while pointing to her bag.

Kagome grinned as she saw her bag. It had everything in it that kept her entertained when her daddy was in boring meetings. She dashed over to it and started digging through it right away.

"Do you want me to stay? She can be a bit of a handful." Kankuro answered. He thought back to about the five different times he had almost lost her on the tour.

Gara shook his head "No I'll be fine. I'm sure you have things you need to do."

"Alright. If you need any help, just let me know." Kankuro said before taking his leave.

When Gara looked back over to Kagome he saw her staring at him with big blue eyes. "Daddy says you have a tail beast inside you. Is that true?"

Gara looked at the girl, she didn't looked scared of being near a jinchuriki at all. He nodded at her "Yes I contain one of the beasts."

"Which one is it?" she asked curiously.

"I hold the one-tailed beast." He told her.

Her eyes lit up "What's his name?" she asked chipperly.

Gara stayed silent for a moment. He had never seen a kid, or adult for that matter, completely unafraid of him. "His name is Shakaku."

Kagome nodded like she had just received great information. Then she turned her attention back to her bag. Since it seemed like her attention was occupied elsewhere Gara turned his own attention back to his paperwork.

It was about twenty minutes later when his sand suddenly acted up stopping something from hitting him. His eyes widened slightly, was someone attacking him. He turned to see what his sands had stopped only to see a small rubber ball. Gara simply stared at the ball for a moment before turning his gaze to the only other person in the room. When he saw Kagome giving him a grin that took over her entire face he simply sent her a questioningly look.

"Did you just throw a ball at me?" he asked. He couldn't fathom why she would do so.

Kagome nodded excitedly. "Yeah! Daddy was right, you stop everything that comes at you."

"And you wanted to test that?" he asked incredulously. She was six, why would she do that?

"Not exactly. I thought that it's Shakaku protecting you, but when you're safe I bet Shakaku's bored. I wanted to play catch with him!" she said innocently.

Gara's eyes went wide "You want to play with the tailed beast?"

Kagome nodded like nothing was wrong with what she just said, "Yeah, I'm kinda bored so I thought playing with Shakaku until Daddy gets back would be fun." When Gara didn't do anything, but look at her, a small frown appeared on her face "He has to throw it back if he wants to play."

To Gara's surprise, without his urging, his sand threw the ball back to Kagome. Her eyes lit up and she let out a giggle as she threw it back to Gara. And so, the game of catch began.

When Sesshomaru got back from the meeting with the village elders he saw his daughter playing a friendly game of catch with the one-tailed demon. Honestly, he wasn't surprised. She always has been a kind-hearted child.

"Kagome, gather your things. It is time to leave." He said.

Kagome caught the ball one last time before putting it back in her bag, "Okay Daddy. Bye Mr. Gara. Byebye Shakaku." She grabbed her bag and ran up to her dad. Sesshomaru grabbed his daughter's hand, then turned to the fifth Kazekage. He nodded his head in respect before turning and walking out the door, pulling his daughter behind him.

The last thing Gara saw was Kagome waving goodbye to him with a big smile. A small smile appeared on his face. Never in his life had he seen a child so eager to befriend a tailed beast. The heir to the Taisho's village was almost reason enough to make them a close ally.
