Kagome sighed as she looked herself over in the mirror. She had gone shopping with Temari and ended up with a lot of fishnet, but then again it did look good. She had on a long-sleeved fishnet shirt underneath a short sleeved, Chinese-style, ankle length black dress. The dress itself had shorts sewn in underneath, apparently female ninjas were very, very common, and most of them wanted to look good and keep covered. The dress also had two slits on either side, all the way up to her hips.

On her forearms, matching the trimming of her dress and the thigh high stockings she wore, were dark blue arm warmers, which hooked around her middle fingers and thumbs. Around her waist was not only the belt she had worn earlier, but the blue Sunagakure headband-made-belt. She turned slightly, wondering if it looked okay, but shrugged. If it didn't, oh well, it's not like she had been too worried about her looks, since running around the past in what was 'indecent' clothing kind of made her immune to other people's opinions on the matter.

Slipping into her black shoes she had worn the day she had arrived, she thought for a moment before placing some dried jerky in the hidden pockets inside the front skirt of the dress, then placing a canteen of water in one of the belt pouches. Where normally a sword would have been, Kagome had placed another fan—another gift from the ever wonderful Kazekage. Grabbing her bag, she opened the door, only to find Temari and Kankuro waiting there for her with Shippo.

Temari looked Kagome over once before giving a light shrug. "Gaara sent us over to watch you."

Kankuro snorted. "More like protect her."

Temari rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I heard Matsuri went to talk to Gaara last night."

Kagome nodded. "She wanted to come along to Konoha with us, Gaara said no and she left before I could change his mind." Kagome said, causing Temari to raise a brow at her.

"And what were you doing with Gaara last night?" Temari asked, wondering just what kind of woman Kagome was. Kagome smiled.

"He gave me a new fan, its a little bigger than the one Kagura uses, so he was helping me get use to it. He said I shouldn't rely on Kagura's knowledge of weapons and told me he'd teach me! We ended up talking about the weapons I already can use and who taught me what, and I guess I fell asleep on his couch again. He was nice enough to take my hair out of the clip, even, so I didn't have to deal with trying to tear the thing out of my hair to brush it this morning." Kagome said happily, not noticing the smug expression on Kankuro's face, nor the near pout on Temari's.

She had been hoping Matsuri and Gaara would just click. They did, to an extent, but Gaara seemed far more lenient and open with Kagome. Shippo snorted at the adults before looking at Kirara, whom softly mewed her agreement to his silent acceptance of the situation between the Kazekage and his mother.

If only his mother wasn't so blind.
