Chapter 2

"Speech"

Thought

"attacks"

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Hey Mama who was that guy?" Shippo is surprised to have seen not only Inuyasha get decked through the house, but for a second of that man to appear only to vanish in a puff of smoke.

"He called himself Naruto Ootsutsuki, he saved me from a lizard demon, healed my wounds and brought me here to recover, although he had admitted that he forced his way here, so I can rest," Kagome said remembering what Naruto said as to how and why she was in the village chief's home.

"Kagome did you say that his name was Naruto Ootsutsuki?" Sango asked with fear clearly evident in her voice.

"Y-yes... is there something wrong?" Kagome asked worried in the tone of her demon slayer friend.

"Kagome, my people spoke legends of Naruto Ootsutsuki. He was once a powerful demon that the demon slayers of old had to use the power of the gods just to weaken enough to be sealed" Sango said worried about her friend.

"Well, he didn't seem all that bad as you say, and he made me his master" she said revealing the master seal on her left hand. Sango and Miroku took a look at the mark and were speechless. The mark on Kagome's left hand was the mark that bonded Naruto Ootsutsuki to Kagome as her servant.

"A-are you sure?" Miroku asked.

"Yes you see…" Kagome then explains what happened after arriving, what she saw, how she felt about it and that she was so caught up in her depression that she had left her bag at the well and how she found herself at Naruto's shrine, her attack by the lizard demon and how her blood splashed onto the statue in the shrine, then when Naruto was set free, he killed the demon and healed her wounds and finally bringing her here to recover. After hearing her story, Miroku, Sango and Shippo showed several emotions, mostly anger, disgust and relieved; anger and disgust for what Inuyasha and Kikyo were doing behind Kagome's back showing just how unfaithful he was and relieved that she was saved by the demon named Naruto and brought him here to heal, despite the fact that he kinda forced himself into the home of the village chief.

"THAT MANGY MUTT!" Shippo yelled knowing how Kagome felt about Inuyasha and to see the man she liked in the arms of another woman disgusted him.

"Kagome, I'm so sorry," Sango said, trying to comfort her friend.

"You deserve better… someone like m-gaahhh!" Miroku said, but was stopped when Sango brought down her fist on his head.

"MIroku that is uncalled for and you know it" yelled an angry Sango who was disgusted that Miroku would say such a thing to an emotionally vulnerable girl.

"Ummm… should we stop them?" Lady Yukariko is concerned about two demons fighting in the middle of her village.

"As much as I hate Inuyasha, Yukariko's right, we have to stop them before any innocent villagers are caught in the crossfire, Sango can I ride Kirara? I'm still weak legged" Kagome asked.

"Sure thing Kagome," Sango answered.

Inuyasha vs. Naruto

As Inuyasha was sent flying from a punch by the blonde Demon, Inuyasha then drew his sword trying to right himself, but only to see Naruto directly in front of him, with no way to dodge or bring his sword to protect him, took a fist encased with wind to the gut causing him to double over and cough up blood. Before Inuyasha could recover, he was then kneed in the face sending him up into the air, only to be stopped when Naruto caught his ankle, brought down only receive a another fist, only this time was encased with lightning brought down into Inuyasha's mid-section, embedding him into the ground of the village.

The villagers were in awe and fear as the demon that brought the young woman last night is now ruthlessly beating the red kimono wearing half-breed into the ground. Naruto looked at the now barely conscious Inuyasha with a cold indifference, similar to ones given to him by his older brother Sesshomaru. Naruto then put his left foot onto Inuyasha's chest keeping him in place. Inuyasha then sees Naruto reaching for one of his two swords and draws the one with a long handle and a round red jewel at the end and a small guard. Naruto slowly draws the blade revealing a blade as black as the abyss. Once the blade is fully drawn, the blade begins to emit a red ominous aura and points the blade at Inuyasha's throat.

Inuyasha looked at the blade and back at Naruto and all he could see was the image of a massive snarling dire wolf with ten tails, and three malicious eyes all staring into his very soul. Naruto then raised his blade prepared to deliver the final blow, but was stopped when a familiar voice stopped him "NARUTO THAT'S ENOUGH!" yelled Kagome who was riding Kirara.

Naruto then lowered his blade and moved away from the down Inuyasha while sheathing his blade. Kirara then landed a few feet away from Naruto and the downed Inuyasha. Kagome got off, but still held onto Kirara for balance. Naruto then approached Kagome and kneed before her "I apologize for any trouble I may have caused, master, I await any punishment you may have for me" Naruto stated. Kagome looked at Naruto with a soft look and reached out with her free hand only to pet him.

"No punishment is needed as all you did was what I asked, so thank you Naruto-kun" she said with a smile on her face.

"I thank you for your praise, master" Naruto said as he stood up and was at her side, ready to protect her. Kagome then turned to Inuyasha and scowled.

"Inuyasha, I hate you" she said, with all the anger she could muster.

"I hate you so much that the very thought of having liked you sickens me, so go back to Kikyo and don't ever show your face around me again, or I'll have Naruto here finish what he started" Kagome threatened.

"Master, I would've done so, even if I wasn't ordered to" Naruto said with a straight face, but if one was careful, you can hear a tone of sheer delight.

Inuyasha tried to get up, but… "SIT BOY!"

WHAM!

"Hmmm… goodbye, Inuyasha '' was all Kagome said as Naruto helped Kagome onto her mount causing her to blush, then Naruto joined her on Kirara making her crimson as she leaned into him feeling beneath the clothing. Naruto then signaled the enlarged Nekotama to return to the home of the village chief, leaving the battered Inuyasha in the crater. All Inuyasha could do was watch as Kagome left with a daiyoukai that may rival if not surpass his own brother or even his father.

Village Chief Home

Miroku, Sango and Shippo waited outside the home of the village chief, as Kagome left with Kirara to stop Naruto and Inuyasha from fighting, but the sight of Kirara coming back with Kagome and Naruto was a welcomed sight. Kirara then landed in front of the group and Naruto got off first and helped Kagome down.

"Master, you ok?" Naruto asked

"H-hai, Naruto-kun," now blushing Kagome said.

"Alright, Master… Nekotama, I thank you for keeping my master safe, when she brought her to the battlefield" Naruto said thanking Kirara for protecting his master. Kirara then nudged her head to his hand asking to be praised, this caused Naruto to pet Kirara which made her purr.

"That's amazing, Kirara doesn't usually take to strangers so quickly, especially those of demonic origin" Sango stated while still amazed that her partner liked Naruto after their first encounter.

"I guess it maybe because she doesn't see me as a threat to her group, and unless your intentions are to cause harm to my master, then we may not be enemies" Naruto said as a matter of fact. Shippo then ran over to Kagome, but like before was caught by Naruto and was gently placed in her arms.

"Young one, as before the master is still healing, but seeing her come on to an active battlefield, I'll make an exception" Naruto said letting Shippo jump into Kagome's arms. "Naruto, this is my adopted son Shippo," Kagome said introducing Naruto to her son, she then points to the two.

"The monk is Miroku and the demon slayer is Sango," she said, finishing the introductions.

"Hmmm… the Demon Slayer is strong, but she hold great pain… the monk is a pervert someone who I'll kill if he dares try to touch my master… the fox-kit, is welcoming seeing my master adopt a young demon is a welcoming trait" Naruto said as he then clapped his hands "Jikan Hanten" he says as he glowed a faint green aura and the damage done to the home was repaired. This caused everyone to look in shock. "I have the ability to influence the time and space of an area, but only for 5 minutes, as any longer and the very fabric of reality would be distorted. Also, my master holds the bulk of my power in the seal on her hand" he stated.

"And just how much power am I holding back with this mark?" Kagome asked.

" Give or take roughly 97% of my power" Naruto admitted.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"97%!" they yelled in surprise.

"So you're saying that you're only at 3%?!" Kagome asked.

"Yes, master" Naruto answered.

"But you're so strong!" Shippo said.

"The bulk of my power may be held by the seal, but even at 3%, I can handle most opponents that your former companion Inuyasha has trouble taking on, also Master, because you possess the seal, you have control of how much power I'm allowed to access" he informed, saying that Kagome had control of how much power Naruto could access.

"I thank you for telling me, and sorry for the inconvenience," Kagone apologized.

"Don't be, Master. If anything, this is a good thing as even at 10% I can cause earthquakes and tsunamis with just my mere presence, so someone holding me back, is a humbling experience I that look forward to" Naruto said with a disarming smile on his face, Kagome blushed in seeing a god-like being not bothered by having his power stripped from him.

"Wow… looks like you found quite the keeper, heh Kagome" said a smirking Sango causing Kagome to blush.

"SANGO!" Kagome yelled. Kagome placed Shippo in Naruto's arms and started chasing Sango who was laughing.

"Is the master always like this?" he asked Shippo.

"Not really, I guess you're a good influence on her, so please don't hurt her like that mutt did" Shippo said with a scowl.

"Don't worry young master, I'll never betray Lady Kagome" he said firmly as he watched his master chasing Sango all the while everyone was laughing.
