This is my World

With Sasuke

'Why would she have gone after Orochimaru by herself? If she would have said something I would have gone with her. Any of us would have gone with her, especially knowing that it was Orochimaru we would be facing. Would she have asked me to go with her if she didn't believe me to be weak? How can I ever forgive my brother? She knows what he has done. I doubt that she could forgive some one if they betrayed her like my brother betrayed my family. I understand what she was staying, but I don't know if it is possible. Is that what she means, it seems to be impossible to forgive my brother. So if I was to forgive him I would be capable of doing the impossible. Some challenge, it can't be done I can't forgive my brother. That doesn't matter right now, right now all that matters is getting to Kagome and helping her with whatever she feels she has to do.'

Sasuke thought as he continues running through the woods, all were praying that they would make it in time. None of them would be able to explain why they wanted to protect Kagome; she kept everything to herself and couldn't give a straight answer. She remained a mystery yet she was deeply cared for by every one she had meant in the village. Everyone in the group was traveling faster than they had ever traveled before, pushing themselves to excel their own limits. It was Kagome who had given them the means to do what they were doing. As he was thinking, Sasuke was starting to feel even more respect for the woman who was so strong and yet so caring. She trained every one so that no one could hurt them; it was her way of protecting every one.

'Why does she feel the need to protect every one? She acts so cold but she helps everyone around her in some way. She is never mean; she just goes around with her life like she is indebted to everyone in some way. Has she done something in the past that she feels bad about; I don't know what it could be. For someone so cold her soul is so pure, you can tell by just standing in the same area as her.' Sasuke immediately stopped his line of thought when Kakashi called out that the cave was in sight. Every one dropped from the trees onto the ground and hurried to the cave.

Upon reaching the cave, it was evident that some sort of small battle had taken place. Bodies of Orochimaru's servants littered the floor; it didn't seem possible that Kagome could have done this herself. Who would have helped her, no one else was missing from the village, things just weren't adding up. Every one hurried through the halls stepping over the broken bodies of the nameless servants. It seemed that the hall would never end, until Kakashi, who was in the lead, stopped he examined a body on the ground then quickly stood up.

"This guy was a member of the Akatsuki group." He stated softly, Sasuke looked at Naruto and saw that he was about to say something is his obnoxious loud voice. Sasuke quickly put his hand over Naruto's mouth and hushed him telling him to be quiet. They continued on finding the bodies of other Akatsuki members. By the time they reached the main doors all but one member's body had been accounted for. Sasuke felt his heart hammer, thinking that the Akatsuki group had joined forces with Orochimaru and that Kagome could at the very moment be fighting two of the strongest ninjas in the world. He wouldn't admit it to any one, but he was worried. Kakashi opened the doors and revealed Kagome, Itachi and a fallen Orochimaru. It was clear from where every one was standing that Kagome had been the one to defeat Orochimaru, but from where they were standing and the wound on Orochimaru, it looked as if they had been talking about something before she killed him. Kabuto was panting three feet from every one; he had a terrible chest wound that would take his life no matter how good of a healer he was. Itachi was about to kneel next to Kagome as she struggled to stand, he stopped when he looked over to see them standing there. He did some hand signs then turned grabbed Kagome, put her over his should and ran. The black flames of the Amaterasu burned a whole through the wall of the cave and lead to the forest. After running for seven hours straight at a tremendous speed none of them had it in them to run to far, but they were all willing to push themselves to the limits for Kagome. They followed Itachi, he was moving so fast that they couldn't seem to catch him.

They followed after him for hours, never realizing that he was leading them in the direction of the Hidden Leaf village. None of them realized it until he stopped right after crossing a river. As soon as he was across the river he set Kagome down, as soon as he had released her she stood on her own feet and gave her attention to the river. Every one stopped ready for a trap and expecting something to happen.

"Hey this is the same spot where I first found Kagome." Naruto called out as he looked at the river.

"That it is Naruto, but it is also the portal that leads back to the world I was born in." She summoned a massive amount of power into her hands and turned them to the river. She pushed the energy into the river, the water turned gold and through it a forest could be seen. The forest disappeared showing the covered grounds of a shrine.

"That was the home I grew up in, remember your word. If I so much as have a feeling that you hurt some one in that world I will hunt you down and torture you in the most painful way possible. Do you understand?" Those words were heard by Kagome as Itachi nodded and jumped into the portal. Sasuke was about to go in after him, but Kagome saw what he was about to do so she quickly shut the portal. Sasuke stopped just short of falling into the river and embarrassing himself. He turned his glare on to Kagome, clenching he fists as he tried to relax his body.

"Why?" In one word he broke the silence that had come over the clearing. Kagome turned her face to Sasuke and smiled lightly.

"It was the only way I could get word to my family. I wanted them to know where I was and that every thing is okay. If I go through the portal I can never come back here, so I thought that it would be best if I found someone who was unable to live in this world. It turned out to be your brother; he killed his family without even thinking. He started to hate himself with every breath for what he had done; he was living just so that one day you could kill him. When he first saw me he wanted to know what my power was so that he might find a way out of life. He some how heard my story and made up a nice plan that ended with him going to my world. I don't know why, but I think he wants to go to my home so that he can travel to the place I normally travel to. It is dangerous in that place and he may not live so long. He wants to die with some honor, so he can only die by the hand of one stronger than himself. In this world those who can become stronger than him are young and far from reaching that power. You might not be the one to kill him, but if it makes you happy then just think he will be dead shortly." Kagome said the most that any one had ever heard her say at one time. She used some energy and walked across the river heading towards the village.

"Why the Akatsuki group, you could have had us go with you to fight Orochimaru." Kakashi asked as Kagome walked past him, she stopped and turned towards him.

"I could have asked some of you, but that would have put all of you in danger. I thought it best to risk the lives of murders than of somewhat innocent people." She continued walking. After what she said sunk in to the minds of every one in the clearing, they followed after her heading back to the village. All except one person, that is.

Several Hours later with Kagome

"It's getting late, don't you think you should start heading back towards home." Kagome said as she came up to stand next to Sasuke. He was looking into the water of the river, trying to figure out what he felt about everything that had happened. He hadn't noticed she had arrived, so he jumped a little at her voice.

"Are you mad that your brother is beyond your reach?" Kagome asked as she was met by more silence. She sighed and started heading back, only to have him grab her wrist. She stopped and looked towards him. He was looking away from her, but he had turned his gaze from the river. He pulled her closer slightly, using his height and her lack of it to tower over her.

"I feel relieved that my brother is gone, but I feel somewhat empty. For so long I have lived to kill him, and now that I can't kill him, I feel incomplete." He looked down into her eyes with a look that seemed to beg for an answer. She smiled up at him and cupped the left side of his face.

"You lost every one you cared about once before. If I were you I would continue to train so that I could become strong enough to protect every one that I have come to protect." She said giving him the answer that he wanted to here; he just wanted to know that he wouldn't waste his life. He then thought to the afternoon and asked a question that had also been on his mind for a while now.

"Why didn't you go back to your world, you said before that you just had to find a way back home and you would go?" He wanted an answer and wasn't about to let her get away without answering it. He held her wrist a little tighter and then put his hand over the one she had on his face.

"I had been thinking over what I would do for a long time. I then came to realize that this is my home. This is my world. I will protect all those who I have come to care about, I will not lose some one else I care about. These lands will be safe as long as I draw breath. I won't leave this world for one that has no meaning for me, I will miss my family but there has been no love between us for long time." She said as she looked away, to the same tree he had looked at briefly a few moments before. He smiled at her answer and grabbed her chin after releasing her wrist. He turned her chin so that she had to look him in the eyes; next he leaned down and allowed his lips to meet with her own.

'I am so happy that Sakura decided that she could never think of Sasuke as any thing more than a friend, she has Lee and will be happy. I didn't want to have to watch him from a far as Sakura tried to gain his love; I would never have made a move not wanting to hurt my best friend. I don't know when but somehow I have come to love him and I won't let him go, this wont be the same as Inu Yasha. These feelings feel more real than and not as phony as they did with Inu Yasha.' Kagome was thinking as she allowed herself to fall into the passion of the moment, all reason flew from her mind as she shared something great with Sasuke. No one could have imagined that a priestess from another world would have been the one to take the heart of the cold Sasuke. However every thing about them seemed to just fit.

After Note

Sasuke and Kagome lived on happily sharing the rest of their lives together. Kagome shared her past with everyone yet never talked about the fight with Orochimaru, all she would say was that she did what she had to do. No one could have guessed that she had allowed him to believe that she was there to make a deal so that she could go back home. The moment he had turned his back she had stabbed him in the back with Ranpu, one of the blades given to her by Sesshomaru. She had thought that using the blade of light would be the best way to kill such an evil, she had been right.

Sasuke and Kagome ended up having nine children, all boys. All of the children were powerful and well trained they used the name Uchiha and protected the village with great passion. The Uchiha lived on and would someday grow into what it had once been. Kagome trained all who showed potential, everyone under her training ended up coming great. Sasuke ended up being the head of the ANBU unit and made a name for himself as one of the strongest jonin to ever live.

Sakura and Lee ended up being the first couple to marry. They lead average lives and lived to protect those around them. Sakura and Lee ended up being the proud parents to two girls and three boys. All had Lee's talent and Sakura's control over chakra. None ended up unable to use jutsu, but still seemed to favor and to hand combat.

Naruto and Hinata ended up becoming a couple with much help from their friends. Hinata became the leader of her clan, she ended the use of the curse seal, and she also made the choice to share every thing with Neji. Naruto became Hokage when he was in his late twenties, the day before his first daughter was born. Naruto and Hinata ended up having two children. The boy was named Haku, and the girl was named after the late Hokage, Tsunade. He towards the end of his life became known as the best Hokage to ever live.

Neji and Tenten found love together; they only had one child a little boy that had Neji's gifts in Hyuga clan's special blood trait. Their child was also as gifted as his mother when it came to weapons usage.

Kakashi and Gaara never married. They could always be seen by Kagome's side in any emergency. Both became powerful jonin (in Kakashi's case even more powerful.) and saved many lives, and fought in many wars protecting innocents.

All remained friends to the day they all parted from the living world. All met each other again on the other side as they continued to watch over their loved ones who still lived and fought the good fight.

Oh, and Itachi didn't die like he had planned. He made a life for himself in the feudal era after talking with Kagome's family. He never killed another innocent and found a wife who he happily shared the rest of his life with. He protected others never knowing that the reason he had the feelings he had was because of Kagome. During their first fight she had used her purification powers to clean his soul.

Okay hoped you liked it, I was going to describe more of the battle between Orochimaru and Kagome but I didn't know what to write or how to describe it. So tell me what you think and please give me any suggestions on how to make my stories better. All the beginnings seem fine but the endings seem so come out really badly! Please review, I beg all of you.
