Kagome became a Genin at age 8 (don't ask how just go with the flow) and she was the only one capable for the mission she was on. Oh and the Uchiha family? They just moved into Konoha two years ago -grins like an idiot- and their's a twist X3

Kagome was walking through Konoha village, getting many looks of happiness and approval. She had been gone for 5 and a half years on a mission of peace with the Sand village that thankfully succeeded. She could have left 4 years ago, but the Kazekage had asked she stay for a while longer and help him with his children and other things around the village to show his true trust in alliance with the Leaf village. While she was in the Sand village, however, she didn't get the news about the Kyuubi attack, the Hokage's death, and the sealing of the Kyuubi inside a newborn baby... it had happened three months after she had left.
On her way to the Hokage Tower, Kagome saw a familiar face at the fruit stand, and decided to sneak up on the person and surprise them by jumping on their back. She grinned at her 'genius' plan as she walked as quietly as she could behind the person looking at produce. "RAAH-eep!"
The person she had planned on sneaking up on, was currently holding her upside down by the ankle. "You're not very stealthy today Kagome..." the person grinned.
Kagome pouted and crossed her arms. "Mou Oro-sensei, you just have really good hearing that's all..."
Orochimaru laughed and set his pupil down gently. "I'm glad you're back, it's been so long sonce you've been gone... a lot has changed..." saddness flitted across his face as he said this, but then smiled again as he asked, "Going to see the Hokage?"
Kagome frowned when she saw her sensei's sadness, but brushed it off when he smiled and nodded at his question. "Mmhm. I have to report what all happened while I was in the Sand village. Well, I'll see you later Oro-sensei!"
Orochimaru waved as she left, but then turned and frowned at the fruit. When she went to see the Hokage... she wouldn't get quite what she expected and he was worried about her reaction...
--In front of the Hokage's Tower-
Kagome walked up to the Tower's entrance and bowed to its guards, "Hey Jiraiya, Sesshomaru."
"Kagome-chan! Wow you've gotten so big! And you've filled out too!" Jiraiya answered with his perverted grin.
Kagome and Sesshomaru glared at him.
"Yes it is very nice to see you again Kagome." Sesshomaru said and stooped to give her a light hug.
Jiraiya pouted, "And why don't I get a hug?"
"Because you're a pervert." Kagome bluntly answered, making Sesshomaru chuckle and look at Jiraiya with an amused grin.
"She is right you know."
Jiraiya stuck his tongue out at Sesshomaru before facing the other direction. "Humph!"
Kagome giggled as she walked inside and flew up the stairs. She was so excited about seeing the Hokage, he was always so nice to her. As she pushed open the doors, she noticed someone she wasn't expecting to see. "Yondaime-sensei? Is Sarutobi-sensei in a meeting or something? 'Cause I have to report how my mission went." she asked curiously.
Yondaime's sparkling blue eyes lowered to his desk as he stood and walked over to Kagome, hugging her to him. "I'm sorry Kagome... but Sarutobi died protecting this village from a demon..."
Kagome's eyes widened and she hugged Yondaime back as a few tears slid down her face. After a few minutes she asked, "Will you tell me what happened?" and sniffled.
Yondaime smiled kindly and nodded as he walked Kagome over to his desk, and pulled up a chair. "About three months after you went to the Sand village... Kyuubi attacked." Kagome's eyes widened as she listened intently. "We fought for days, keeping the demon at bay just barely. I was about to sacrifice myself and seal the monster with a forbidden jutsu... but then Sarutobi showed up and stopped me. He said 'The village still needs you, I've served long enough!' and sealed the beast inside a young newborn baby, dying soon after. Unfortunately sometime during the battle, your mother and father also died while fighting..."
Kagome bowed her head, "I missed them so much... and now I'll never get to see them again..." she sighed sadly as one more tear slipped from her crystaline eyes, that surprisingly matched the Yondaime's, and looked back up at said Hokage. "Thank you for telling me... uh, would you mind if I reported my mission tomorrow... I'd like to pay my respects to Sarutobi-sensei today."
Yondaime nodded with a small smile, "Of course." he hugged her one last time and said, "If you wish, you may live with me until you see fit. Your house was given to a family that moved in a couple years ago..."
"Really?" Kagome smiled as she jumped up and hugged the blonde man around the neck. "Thank you so much Yondaime-sensei!" she let go of him and dropped to the ground gracefully. "Well, I'll be back tomorrow to report how my mission went... what time would you like me to be, uh, at your house?"
"For now, it is your home, and your are more than welcome to call it that." Yondaime smiled as Kagome's face brightened and nodded cheerfully. "Tonight try to be home before night-fall so we can get you settled in." he grinned.
Kagome nodded again as she walked out of the doors, and out of the Hokage tower.
"Are you alright Kagome?" Jiraiya asked.
"Yes... I'm sad about the losses of both myself and the village but... Yondaime-sensei made me feel better." Kagome smiled.
"Aa. He does seem to have a special way of cheering people up, as do you." Sesshomaru smiled.
"You really think so?"
"I may not be the most serious of people, but believe me when I say I agree with Sesshomaru on this one." Jiraiya smiled.
Kagome returned the smiles, "Thanks. Well, I'm going to Sarutobi-sensei's grave to pay my respects. See you guys later." she said and waved as she walked off to the graveyard.
