They Meet

Events before I start me story are the same, but most everything from here on out will be changed is some way. In my story Kagome has completed the jewel and wished for a chance to make amends for failing to save her feudal friends. She will display many different gifts and abilities that she can't really call on at will. She acts more like a guardian able to bail her friends out of any situation if the circumstances are dire enough. If you hate Kagome then this is not the story for you. Everything else will be explained in due time.

With Kagome

'Where can the sensei be? Every one has already left and this guy is over three hours late.' Kagome sighed as she shifted her position waiting for her sensei to appear. Kagome was sitting cross legged on the floor leaning against the teacher's desk. She wore a black long sleeve shirt that reached to the middle of her lower arm and cut off just below her belly button, leaving her full wrist exposed. She had black gloves that didn't cover the finger tips, and black capris that fit like a second skin. She glanced and saw Sakura leaning against a desk close to the door, Sasuke was sitting at a desk looking as if nothing was wrong and Naruto was pacing back and forth. Naruto then stopped is pacing and walked over to the door placing an eraser at the top with an evil look on his face. Sakura and Sasuke both appeared to object and were about to voice their objection when Kagome decided to intervene.

"Do you really think that wise?" Kagome asked as all eyes shifted to her. None of her teammates knew what to make of her. All any one knew was that she was found wondering around the forest five years ago. Nothing had ever been revealed about her past. She seemed to be of highly intelligent and never seemed to speak if it could be avoided. She was of average height, being slightly taller than Naruto and about the same height as Sakura. She was slightly taller than Sakura, though and only an inch or two shorter than Sasuke. She had raven black hair left loose that easily reached her middle back. Her eyes were a deep blue (I know that in the anime her eyes are brown but this just seemed to fit with some of my other ideas).

"Why wouldn't be?" Naruto asked as he gave her his full attention. Everyone in the room seemed to lean forward wondering what she would say, fully forgetting what Naruto had done a mere moment before.

"Whoever walks through that door will hold apart of your future in their hands, will they not?" She said waiting a moment before continuing, "He or she will handle all of our training and will decide if we are capable of becoming Chunnin. I think that it would be best if you try not to leave a lasting negative first impression." She then stopped talking and reached inside her hip pouch and pulled out a book. She put her full attention into her book as everyone else just pondered what she said. Naruto was about to move the eraser when the door opened and some one had their head through the door way. The eraser hit his head and he sighed in slight annoyance. The man reached down grabbed the eraser and then looked at his new team; a smile would be seen through the mask he chose to wear.

"My first impression of you all is," He grabbed his chin for a moment, "that I hate you." Everyone sweat dropped except Kagome who continued to read her book.

At their sensei's command everyone followed him, to the spot where they were all to get to know one another. He told them how he wanted them to introduce themselves and demonstrated, his students learned nothing other than his name. Naruto talked only about Ramen, Sasuke spoke vaguely of his vengeance, Sakura of a crush. Then only Kagome was left, she was still reading her book and seemingly wasn't paying attention.

"And you Kagome, what could we learn about you?" Kakashi asked trying to get his students attention. He watched as Kagome closed her book and placed it in her hip pouch.

"My name is Kagome Higurashi and my past in my own, my hobbies and goals are for me alone to know." Her voice was cool and sounded bored. Everyone sweat dropped, her answer had been worse than Kakashi's. She grabbed her book and continued reading as Kakashi informed the group of their first challenge.

"Come on Kagome, tell us something about you!" Naruto said as everyone started to depart from the area, all movement stopped as they waited for Kagome to say anything about herself or her past. Her previous answer had done nothing other than open up natural human curiosity in her team mates.

"Do you like ramen?" Naruto asked as he looked at Kagome's retreating back, she hadn't stopped walking even after Naruto had called out to her a moment before. She paused and seemed to tense for a moment, she turned to face him.

"I once did." She said simply as she continued to walk away from everyone, her words bring out even more curiosity in her new companions. With her back to them no one was able to see the look of hurt that lay upon her face as she recalled past memories. No one was able to see the way she clutched her hand over her heart were the Shikon jewel lay. No one was able to see the look of determination that crossed her face as she remembered why she was sent to this place, why she had gone from a fifteen year old to a seven year old wondering around a strange forest. She was given a chance to make up for her past faults and she would succeed no matter what it ended up costing her. She knew that tomorrow she would have to help her team mates so that they all passed, it was only then that she could fight to be forgiven.

"I will not fail again." Kagome stated into the wind as she made her way to her apartment, calling on the memories of her friends to give her renewed strength.

Okay tell me what you think! I wasn't sure if I like how I started this out, I left out so many details, but if you have an interest in Naruto then you most likely have seen many of the episodes. How should I continue and what kinds of powers should Kagome display in different situations? Should I end up pairing her with someone, if so then who? Review and share any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Thanks, oh and I wont update the next chapter until I have gotten a few reviews at least!
