Kagome Meets Naruto

With Naruto

Naruto was leaving the Hidden Leaf for the afternoon in order to train. He had just left the ramen shop and was heading to his favorite spot at the river; it was the spot were his sensei Kakashi had given him his first test. The day was bright and sunny, the air felt pure and fresh. He was in a hurry though for he had promised to meet Sakura and Sasuke (Pretend that Sasuke never received the cursed seal, okay!) later at the main training ground, no one knew that he had been training everyday by himself. He arrived and started going through the basic movements, when he did a back flip and gazed at the river. There was a girl floating through the middle of the current. Naruto gathered his chakra and walked out to grab her.

With Kagome

Kagome woke up and heard voices; she concentrated on the voices but was unable to make out what they were saying. She closed her eyes for what seemed just a few minutes to open them and see that the noon sun that had been shinning was replaced by the shine of the setting sun she had slept for over six hours. She sat right up and regretted it immediately; she clutched her head and tried to focus her thoughts. She couldn't remember ever going home and the Feudal era didn't have any beds.

"You should be gentler with your head; you must have banged it on more than a few rocks." A gentle yet firm hand was on her shoulder and she was pressed back into a laying position. She looked at the person taking care of her and saw a woman with longer bond hair and her eyes were a dark gold. By looking Kagome guessed the woman to be in her thirties or forties, but her aura gave off the impression that she was older than even that.

"Who are you and where am I?" Kagome asked as she probed the area for Kaede who should be near by. She would have looked for Inu Yasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo or even Kirara, but they had all died during the final battle. Kagome only had Kaede left, she would visit Kaede every weekend so that she could train her miko powers and she would train with either Sesshomaru or Koga on the weekdays after school. Koga had finally realized Kagome and he could never be more than friends, so knowing that he couldn't always be there he started training her. Sesshomaru had started to respect Kagome after their many unpleasant meetings, and even more so when she was the one to defeat Naraku. After the battle she was the only one left and had no defense other than her bow and arrows so Sesshomaru took her under his wing and started training her. She liked to think she was strong, she could hold her own against Sesshomaru and he was even starting to have a hard time defeating her in their training sessions. With Koga she had learned hand to hand combat and speed, for some odd reason even after the jewel shards were taken away Koga still had his speed. She was able to run with him for eight hours straight without tiring. Kohaku had taken it upon himself to teach Kagome how to use various poisons and smoke screens he had even searched his old village for another Hiraikotsu. It had taken Kagome a little while to get use to the weight of the new Hiraikotsu it was heavier than the one Sango used and had taught her to use. She remembered Inu Yasha's face when Kagome had asked for everyone to help her train. Miroku had agreed and had offered to teach hand to hand combat but after a glare from Inu Yasha had agreed to help her use sacred sutras and create barriers. Shippo had been happy and had used his fox fire so that Kagome could use her sacred powers without to much thought. Sango had started Kagome with learning about poison, hand to hand combat and even strength training but with the amount of demons attacks supplies could not be wasted and the lessons were fierce. It had taken Kagome a while to get the hang of things; Sango had loved it because strength training meant that Kagome had to carry the very heavy Hiraikotsu everyday, all day. She had also started working harder at practicing her gymnastics a few months after she started time traveling, she liked to think that she could at least back flip her way out of any bad situation. When she first started training everyone had had her apply her natural flexibility with her skill in gymnastics.

"You are in the Hidden Leaf village and I am the Hokage, but you can call me Tsunade." The lady said as she then grabbed Kagome's pulse to make sure she was alright. Kagome was having some trouble on the inside though; Tsunade's answer had only helped to confuse her more.

"Excuse me, but what is a Hokage and where is the Hidden Leaf. I can't remember ever hearing of such a village." Kagome was almost praying that the Tsunade wouldn't answer; she knew that there was something strange about this place. Every person was not threatening, but they all gave off some weird energy that Kagome had never felt before. The woman turned to her and looked into her eyes then felt her head she seemed determined to find something wrong. Kagome pulled her head away and looked out at the sky, it was different. Back at Kaede village, it had been plagued with storms that darkened the sky. At home in Tokyo the sky was always cloudy from pollution. This sky was clear and the air was so fresh and pure. The lady gave Kagome a concerned look and was just about to say something when a boy wearing an ugly orange jumpsuit came bursting through the door, he was maybe two or three years younger than Kagome's seventeen. (In my story Kagome started time traveling on her thirteenth birthday, and she started training with Inu Yasha, Miroku and Sango a year after that. They died two days before she was going to turn sixteen, she started training with Sesshomaru and Koga the day after her friends died.) He was followed by a girl with pink hair and green eyes and a boy with jet black hair and onyx eyes. The two that came in right after him seemed to be around his age, they were followed by a man with light grey almost silver hair and he had a dark eye that almost appeared black showing. His other eyes was hidden by a forehead projector. The annoying kid was about to yell something we he must have realized that Kagome was studying him. She was looking right at him with a look that made everyone think that she could see right through him. They would be right though she could see right through him; she could see the seal and she knew of the powerful demon fox that lived inside his soul.

"Hello, I'm Naruto Uzumaki and someday I'm going to be the Hokage, believe it." He said with a very loud voice that grated just little on Kagome's nerves, all she wanted was to know where the hell she is. She was thinking of saying something when she was interrupted by the pink haired girl knock her fist over Naruto's head. Kagome chocked back a laugh and only allowed the right corner of her lips to turn up for a moment. She didn't think that anyone had noticed, but someone did.

"Hi my name is Sakura, this is Sasuke and this is Kakashi, nice to meet you." The girl now known as Sakura said in a happy bubbly voice that reminded Kagome of her friend Yuri. Sasuke nodded his head in her direction and the man now known as Kakashi smiled and bowed slightly, at least she thought that he smiled it was hard to tell with the mask covering the lower part of his face.

"Hello." Kagome said in a voice that gave off no emotion as she continued to gaze at the odd group and study every detail. She used her senses and probed their aura trying to get a read on their personalities incase she would have to fight them.

"What is your name?" Sakura asked shyly, Kagome debated on whether or not she should share her name. She didn't think they were a threat, their auras weren't tainted. If she need to get away she could probably make a run for and get out okay, but she didn't like the weapon holders they carried on their thighs. They were all not to be treated lightly, no matter how they appeared or acted.

"Kagome." She said simple as, while betraying no emotion. No one in the room knew what to make of her; she acted as if she expected to be attacked at any moment. She didn't seem to want to do so much as form a complete sentence. Her gaze fell to the floor as Naruto started getting up. Sakura was about to start lecturing him, when she saw Kagome's head whip to the window and look to the bride over the river on the east side of the village. Everyone looked out the village, then looked right back at Kagome just in time to see her eyes narrow. She turned at looked back at them her gaze solely on Sasuke.

"Sasuke, do you have a brother who has done terrible things in the past." She asked as if she were talking about the weather. Everyone in the room turned towards Sasuke and waited for a violent reaction.

"Why?" He asked in a deadly icy tone that scared everyone just a little. Kagome looked at him a little harder than smirked slightly.

"He just arrived, and according to his aura he seems to be looking for someone or something. I just wanted to know as to why he felt so dark, and as to why I can't sense anyone else in this village that gives off the same family aura as you." Everyone was slightly surprised, but more concerned about following Sasuke as he ran to meet his brother. Tsunade gave Kagome a look then proceeded to leave the room. Kagome looked and saw her clothes and weapons on a chair in the corner of the room. She got up and changed out of the hospital gown she was wearing. Her clothes were just pants similar to her black jogging pants, but they were slightly tighter and fit her like a glove on the thighs. The fabric was looser around the knees and lower leg. She wore a white v-neck long sleeve shirt with a black tank top over her white shirt. Her shoes were black and resembled the shoes that hikers wear, they were tough but they moved with the feet. She strapped her Hiraikotsu on her back along with the swords Sesshomaru had given her, there names are Koudo (earth) and Ranpu (light). She put her many throwing knives into the correct place and leapt out the window. She needed to head to the river where she thought she was pulled from and started heading in that direction. She stopped when she saw Sasuke fighting who could only be his brother, he was losing badly. He was kicked to the side, his brother started doing hands signs. It was apparent that unless something happened he would die by his brother's hand. Kagome knew where she was, she had heard stories of a land parallel to her own. It was a land where demons were rare, and the average human could become powerful with practice. The hand signs were the key, she just needed to know what could have pulled her here. She was also trying to decide whether or not she would help Sasuke for his soul was slightly tainted by hate yet he wasn't evil.

The only question was, would she make a choice in time?
