Disclaimer: I finished my frozen yougurt... AND I don't own Inuyasha or Naruto... -Depression-
"A WHAT?" was all that Konoha could hear that morning.
"You heard me." a sigh from a silver haired jounin.
"But why!" asked a spiky blonde haired kid.
"I'm wondering why to..." blinked a blue eyed girl.
"Kagome, ever since that mission you've looked exausted and I know your still sore from that wound." the silver haired man said to the girl. "So, were not going to have any missions for a while. As I said, a two week vacation."
"Kakashi-sensei, I understand that Kagome's hurt but why can't the rest of us go on missions." a pink haired girl narrowed her eyes.
"Sakura, if Kagome doesn't go, we don't go. We are a team after all. Anyways, I don't think Naruto wants to do any more D missions." a 'blegh' sound came from said blonde.
The one who had been quiet for the whole conversation decided that now was the time to speak up.
"Doesn't two weeks sound a little long?" asked a dark haired boy.
Man, there sure was a lot of questions flying around.
"Not at all." another sigh from Kakashi. "Besides, Most of the Jounins are going out on missions and we don't need the kids tagging along. So be happy and go hang out with the other teams." he continued and was gone in a flash.
"Hey, Naruto." Kagome looked over to the blonde, "Wanna go find Hinata with me, then go train?"
"Sure!" Naruto lept over to the girl and threw her onto his back.
"Naruto! PUT ME DOWN!" yelled the sore girl.
Wincing, she turned around and looked over that the two staring at them. "Hey, Sasuke you wanna come?" She yelled as they moved farther away.
A shrug from said person and then a few leaps, soon enough he had caught up to them.
"WAIT SASUKE-KUUUN!" screamed Sakura.
Looks like most of Konoha didn't need alarm clocks today.
The first three days Kagome spent training with Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke, Nami and sometimes Sakura.
Today she found herself bored and wandering down the streets of Konoha.
Nami was off on a mission, Hinata was with Hanabi and Neji, Naruto.. Well who really knows what Naruto does. Same goes for Sasuke but where ever he was Sakura was sure to follow along with the other SISAWLHSMC (Sasuke-Is-So-Sexy-And We-Love-Him-So-Much Club) members. Kagome didn't see why they had to name themselves somthing so long and stupid. She bet that half of them couldn't memorize it.
"Blegh. Life is so boring." Kagome narrowed her eyes when she his somthing hard and fell backwards. She put a hand on the sore spot in the middle of her chest.
She had decided to wear just her wrappings and netting today because tighter things would hurt her wounds. Also so she could see if the wound would open but that wasn't likley. It had been four days since the end of the mission and Kagome healed fast. The only down side was that she would feel sore for a couple days afterwards.
The dark haired girl looked up to se a hand to help her up. Attached to that hand was an arm and attached to that arm was a shoulder and that shoulder was attached to a head. Suprisingly, that head belonged to-
"Sasuke-Kuuuun!" screams were heard coming from around the corner.
Kagome honestly wanted to stay there and laugh at Sasuke's face forever but decided against it and grabbed the had which pulled her up a little to fast. In fact, it was so fast that it pulled her into his body and sent them both into a bush that was behind him.
"Ow, Sasuke th-" Kagome was about to yell but she was cut off by his hand covering her mouth and a stern "Shh!"
Kagome tried her hardest not to laugh when his body stiffened as a pack of girl went by talking about him and all his "Hottness". She couldn't help but burst out laughing when they all dissapeared.
"Ahaha! Your... Face ... was so... Funny!" Kagome laughed like a little child and by the end she was out of breath and had a frowning Sasuke looking up at her.
Wait... He was looking up at her?
She blushed lightly when she looked down and finally noticed she was laying ontop of Sasuke.
She pushed herself up with a nervous chuckle and worked her way out of the bush.
Kagome looked over to him to see a light blush on his cheek... Or could she just be seeing things? Yeah probably the latter.
A smirk came onto Kagome's lips.
"Who would have thought that the 'Oh So Great' Sasuke Uchiha would be afraid of girls who can barley do a push up, are to busy shoping or doing their makeup to do anything else or take at least two hours deciding what 'type' of top to wear." she laughed at his frown.
"So what are you doing out today?" she asked.
"Walking, you?" he looked at her as if it were obvious.
"Same actually... There's no one to train with so I felt like going on a walk." Kagome sighed.
"Hn." Sasuke looked up at the sky.
"I know this is kind of random... But would you like to hang out or somthing?" She asked him with a small smile on her lips.
"Hn." he continued to look up at the sky.
A sigh escaped her lips as she took Sasuke's hand. "I'm taking that as a yes." and with that she was pulling him and they were headed off to who knows where.
After a while Kagome got lost and Sasuke started to pull her ahead.
They ended up being near Sasukes clans personal river and both fell down in a huff.
"Uhh... Kagome." Sasuke was quiet for a while and Kagome turned to face him.
"Hmm?" she hummed while looking up at the sky.
"Why do you always pay so much attention to Naruto." it flew out of his mouth.
A silence and then a sigh.
"Probably for the same reason that you would pick Hinata out of any other girl in Konoha: They aren't fans of us. It's to annoying being around boys who follow you around and do everything you ask. It may seem oh so much fun to others but they only want you for your looks or because you are 'cool'. I feel that even though Naruto is like my brother I would pick him out of all the males in Konoha anyday. As loud and energetic as he is, I find myself laughing at all his jokes and telling myself that even though he may not be the one I end up loving I know there is a place in my heart for him. You to Sasuke. I also hold a place for you in my heart." She whispered the last part but Sasuke caught it. She continued on in a louder voice though. "He holds a potential that rivals your own Sasuke. You and him are diffrent, you know, but in many ways you are the same." Kagome flopped down on the ground and listened to the flows of the river. "I just want someone who loves me for me. Im not asking for perfect just someone who can look deeper and see the pain people hold."
Sasuke stayed scilent and tried to prossess all of the information that had leaked into the air. He had just enough time to remember what she had said and just started to go through it again when she stood up and smirked.
"I say we spar!" she yelled raising a hand into the air. In a way it reminded him of Naruto but all the same he smirked back and raised himself off the ground. They slid into their own stances and took off towards each other.
Half an hour and a sweaty Sasuke and Kagome later they were funushed with the spar resoulting with the Uchiha winning.
Kagome raised her hand to wipe the sweat of her brow when she felt somthing wet hit her forehead. She paused and looked up to see the once sunny sky was covered in angry looking clouds. Sasuke insisted they go inside for the storm to blow oer but Kagome told him that she wished to stay outside for a while to play in the rain. Even though the request sounded childish he followed along and found himself enjoying the cool, fresh feeling of the rain dancing on his skin. He also looked over to see Kagome twirling and laughing up at the sky as the rain washed away her sweat. Her long jagged lashes filled with rain drops and a stunning smile was plastered on her face.
"Is this the reason why I like her?" Sasuke thought to himself. "Wait... Uchiha's do not 'like' they hate. Emotion shows weakness and weakness is unforgivab-"
"Knock it off. You knew somthing like this was bound to happen. You like her so why not... Embrace it?" the calmer part of his mind interupted.
Yeah? Why not? Sasuke didn't understand why not. At least her hadn't fallen for someone like Sakura. He could only imagine his father coming back from his grave to strangle the pink haired beast.
"Now how to show it?" his mind wondered off but was pulled back to reality when a tug was felt on his hand and a large sound boomed through the area.
"S-Sasuke." Kagome shivered. "Can we go in now. Im not exactly a fan o-of thunder." she shivered again and he nodded.
They entered his house with their wet clothes still attached to their bodies. He starred at the way her clothes hung to her body as though she was their life line but looked away when another round of thunder and lightning came around and a 'yip' came from her mout as she grabbed onto his arm and a sneeze escaped. His mind then worked to it's fullest as he pulled her away from the door and down a couple halways, both leaving a trail of water behind them. He opened up a door for her and pushed her in lightly.
"You will find clothes around your size in the closet." he informed her and was about to take a step away when he turned back and added, "My rooms four doors down, at the end of the hall. Meet me there after you finish changing."
There was a nod and then he was gone.
Kagome took herself over to the closet silently and slid it open finding a few articles of clothing inside and decided on a pair of deep blue pajama pants and a back tank top that was one size to small so it showed just a little section of her stomach.
Kagome slid off her wet clothes and pulled on the new ones to find them very comfortable and, sprisingly warm.
Before the raven gathered the freesing and wet clothing she found herself looking aroun the room to aee a large bed and a dresser that was clutered with make-up, photos and a few books.
Walking closer the girl got in a good look at the pictures to find most of them filled with four raven haired people. Three of which were male and the other female. She reconized one child that looked like a mini-Sasuke. The other three were less familiar. The women had deep black hair and a bright smile on her face. The older and younger boy looked a lot alike with there stress lines and obsidian black eyes. Both of their hair was also a deep black, the younger had seeme to grow his out though, letting the strait locks to come past his shoulders and be tied back at the nape of his neck. The older had let his stay long but not as long, just to his shoulders. Kagome smiled at the happy family.
Her smile slipped from her face when she knew that the family would never be together like that ever again.
A moment later a huge boom echoed from the sky and the raven haired girl was of in the direction of Sasuke's room. Without knocking or even thinking, she opened the door and ran in.
Sasuke had just changed his pants and was moving to his shirt. Just as he took off the last peice of the wet clothes his door opened and a cold body sliped and fell into his arms, against his now bare chest.
He looked down and tried to hide a smirk when he was Kagomes eyes widen in shock and relisation and pushed herself back only to smack into the door that had closed behind her.
"Ow." she moaned rubbing her back.
"Are you okay?" he asked as her pulled a top over his head and walked over to look into the girls eyes.
A bright red heat came to the girls cheeks as she looked into taller boys eyes, then tried to look away but stoped when a hand caught her chin.
"Your cold." he frowned and took her hand, opening the door and leadingher down a hallway to an open room with a fire place, a couch and chairs were placed in the most reasonable spots and blankets were laying on the back of the couch.
The boy pulled her to the comfertable furnature and placed a blanket around her.
Sasuke soon started a fire with dry wood and a small fire ball jutsu.
Kagome soon found herself in Sasukes arms with the blanket still around her as another loud sound of thunder filled the air.
She shivered and Sasuke placed her on the ground near the fire and sat down next to her.
"I hope you don't mind sharing a blanket. There is only one in the living room." he said while pulling the large blanket around himself and let Kagome move in unconciously.
They stayed like that for a while.
Sasuke turned to see the only one he has ever liked staring into the embers as the flames light licked her face and dried the exess water still on her lashes.
"Ask her out already!" the eager part of his mind yelled, causing him to sigh.
Kagom noticed thiis and looked away from the flames and over to Sasuke.
"Whats wrong...?" she whispered in a drowsy tone.
"I was just wondering..." he trailed off.
"Wondering what?" she seemed to be more interested now and was slowly forgeting about her want for sleep.
"Would you..." an awkward silence and then he finished with, "Would you go out with me."
Her eyes widened and she leaned away from him in suspition.
"Is this the Sasuke Uchiha? The same Uchiha that avoided girls for no particular reason? The same Sasuke that could have so much better then me?" she questioned, poking him a couple times and waving a hand in front of his face.
"I assure you it's me." a smirk crossed his face.
"I do like him..." the thought passed her mind. "I guess I sort of always had since that day our eyes met through that window."
"Uhh... I... Um... Yeah. I'd like that." Kagome stuttered breathlessly.
Sasuke couldn't actually believe that she had said yes. A true smile apeared on his lips and he pulled her on for a hug which she returned happily.
A yawn escaped her mouth and before she knew it, she was cuddling up to Sasuke, resting her head in the crook of his neck. That night they both fell asleep in each others arms.
Kagome felt heavy arms around her and the heat of the sun as she woke up the next morning.
She opened her eyes and turned her head to the male holding her. A smile draced her lips as she remembered last night.
"So it wasn't just a figment of my imagination." her smile grew as she felt the body next to her take in a deep breath of her freashly rain washed hair. The male also smiled in bliss at the smell of lavender, lilys and rain.
Sasuke pulled her closer, if that was possible, and continued to inhale the delicious aroma around him.
A short laugh came from the body leaning against him.
"I'm guessing your up?" she asked with a small smile.
He also let out a smile with a small, "Hn."
"'Hn' isn't even a word." she smiled.
"It is to me." he mumbled in a sleepy tone.
"Then whats the meaning? Huh?" she asked.
"That's confidential." he said making her laugh more.
"Well then, -who-isin't-acting-so-Uchiha-ish." she frowned at the long name that just happened to pop out of her mouth.
"Uchiha-ish?" he questioned.
"Shut up. I'm tierd and It's a huge shock that your actually talking this much."
"Hn."
A sigh followed by a laugh.
Kagome stretched out and pulled away from Sasuke.
"Uhm... I think I will go find that room again and change back into my clothes before I make breakfast... Is that okay?" she asked.
"Sure." he also stretched and got up to lead her the way. She grabed his hand and let him intertwine their fingers. They walked slower and anjoyed the bright sun that was coming through the window. They soon came to the door that lead into the room she had been changing in the day before.
He let go of her hand and let her go in before he walked over to his own room to change and redo his still, suprisingly, spiked hair.
Yet again Kagome found herself staring into the picture but specifically at the little boy with spiked hair and a cute grin on his face.
She wondered what he was like back then and wished her family had been a clan in Konoha before she came here so she could have known him better. Kagome always found herself hating her fanboys which than leaded to her hating all fangirls which made her mad at Sasuke for making them squeal. She knew she was wrong to judge him by that but he also seemed like such a jerk with him always being rude to Naruto and ignoring everyone. Anyways, they had only been on a team for three or so months now but the raven had found herself knowing more a about her team (much more Naruto and Sasuke than Sakura) then she could learn about her friends outside of Konoha in four months.
The girl moved herself away from the picture and focused her attention to the now dry heap of clothes over by the closet.
She had noticed the clothes she had been wearing had probably been Sasukes moms from when she was eleven or twelve, but hadn't mentioned anything.
Now that she thought about it she would have never let anyone touch her parents stuff if she had any of it. So in all truth, it touched her that Sasuke would let her wear his mothers own clothes, much less let het in his parents room.
The next five minutes took Kagome to get dressed and throw the clothes into a laundry basket, which Sauke had shown her earlier and she then walked toward Sasukes bedroom. This time she remembered to knock on the door.
"Come in." came Sasukes voice from the other side of the door.
She opened the door and tool time to actually look around. He had a normal sized bedroom with a big bed on the left wall and dressers on the oposite side of the room. Ontop of the dresser Team sevens picture could be seen.
Kagome and smiled as she looked at the photo.
Naruto was off to the right glaring over at Sasuke. Sasuke was on the oposite side of Naruto looking off into space with his whole Im-an-Uchiha-Im-better-than-you look. Sakura was in the middle smiling with her eyes closed. Kakashi was in the back with his hands on both Naruto and Sasuke's heads. Then of course Kagome had decided to ride on Kakashi's back that day just for torture and there she was: sitting perfectly on his back holding up a peace sign behind Kakashi's head making him look like he had bunny ears.
"Good times." she whispered smiling at the picture. Her thoughts were interupted when Sasuke cleared his throat.
"You ready to go to the kitchen?" he asked. She smiled and rubbed the back of her head before nodding and walking down the hall with him, hand in hand.
That morning she made him miso soup considering thats all he had enough food for so she made some to last a couple days.
He complimented her on her cooking and she answered with her ususal, "If I didn't learn how to do it I would have starved because Im sure as hell Nami wouldn't do it."
They then spent the day training and talking.
At first they both thought dating one another would be awkward but they soon found out that it was calming and felt natural.
Only one week of the 'vacation' was left and Kagome was super bored. She and Sasuke didn't tell anyone they were dating just because they didn't want them to freak out. Kagome had gotten bored of training after a while because there was nothing new to do. Nami, Kakashi and most of the other Jounins were still away from Konoha on missions so that left the Genin even less to do.
"Blegh." Kagome moaned to herself while laying on her bed.
"What to do? What to do...?" Kagome thought for a while. She tried to think of things she hadn't done for a while until she finally came to a conclution.
"I will have a sleepover with Hinata!"
Hinata was laying on her bed when she heard a small change in the wind and a small tap on the window.
She turned her head and let out a small giggle when her saw Kagomes face pressed against the glass.
The indigo haired girl jumped up and unlatched the lock on her window and opened it up for the raven to jump in.
"Hey Hinata! Sorry I'm so jumpy! I was passing this candy store and I couldn't help myself! ANYWAYS, I was just wondering if you would want to have a sleepover tomorrow? It's okay if you can't or don't want to. You know I understand the whole 'I'M A HYUUGA HEAR ME ROAR' thing where they don't let outsiders talk to their clan. Whoo! I can't believe I'm saing this all in one breath. I'm gunna stop taling now." Kagome said in one breath then inhaled as much as air as her lungs could take.
Hinata sweat dropped.
She had gotten used to Kagome's hyper self now that they had been friends for quite a while.
"Yeah. I'm sure m-my father wouldn't m-mind. He's to focused on H-hanabi and Neji nowadays." Hinata had always found herself being calmer around this extatic girl. She also found out that her stuttering had decreased around the raven haired girl.
Kagome's hands landed on the indigo haired girls shoulders and a sweet smile was placed on her lips.
"Hinata... I know that you are strong. Do not let them bring you down. One day you will be the clan head and you will show them that theycan all shove it!" Hinata let out a small laugh at the slightly smaller girl.
"Wait!" Hinata exclaimed, thinking she had forgotten somthing. "I h-have to go to Ino-chan's birthday the day after tomorrow..."
"Hmm." the other girl hummed. She then slammed her fist down on her palm. "Oh yeah! I got an invite too!"
More thinking and then, "So it's settled!" she yelled.
"Huh?" Hinata let ou a small squeak.
"You will sleep over at my house tomorrow and then we will go to the party the day after!"
So there they were the next night walking around Kagome's house gathering anything considered comfy. In the end Hinata had a blanket castle, Kagome had a pillow fortress and both had an equaly amazing armys of stuffed animals that had been left over by the family last living there.
After a few trades each girl had a fair amount of blankets and pillows. They sprawled onto the carpet of her living room and watched the old 'Wizard of Oz'.
Kagome sank under her blanket and munched on her pack of pocky.
"Hinata..." The raven let out a tierd sigh. "Who do you like? I mean do you still like Naruto or do you like anyone else?"
"W-Well, I do like Naruto-kun and I also find m-myself liking Kiba-k-kun. Who do you like Gome-chan?" Kagome smiled at her nickname.
"Well, Hina-chan... I sorta like Sasuke..." she sighed and bit dowwn on another stick of the chocolate bread stick.
"Y-You're a fan g-girl!" Hinata looked up from the movie. She seriously doubted that the blue eyed girl that had hated all things girly and pink had fallen for the 'hunk' that made all the girly-girls like Sakura fall over with squeals.
"No! Definitly not!" Kagome made an X with her arms. "I'm not a fangirl and he knows it. Anyways, I've already talked to him about it."
"What?" the indigo girl let out a gasp of suprise. "Y-You told h-him you like him!"
"Sort of... If you count me and him dating as me telling him I like him then... Yes." another gasp and squeak left the Hyuugas mouth.
Both Hinata and Kagomes blushes could have been so bright that they glowed in the night.
"Hinata, I know what you're thinking. How could I ever like a jerk like him but I guess he's diffrent then that... you know? We statred to get closer, inch by inch, every time we talked and then when I told him I might have liked Naruto and he asked me out, the place in my heart for him and only him widened more than an inch." a mad sigh. "BLEGH! I hate hormones! WHY WAS PUBERTY EVEN CREATED!"
Hinata giggled, even though she asked herself the same things some times. "Kagome... D-Do you think I-I should ask out N-N-Naruto-kun?"
"Hmm. YUSH!" she almost screamed. "I swear, that blonde has been attached to Sakura too long."
"Hmm." Hinata hummed back with a bright blush plastered on her face.
"Tomorrow's going to be interesting.." they both commented.
The next day Hinata and Kagome spent walking around, cooking, watching TV, helping out with children and doing many other things that didn't seem that exciting. Each of them made up for it though.
Hinata remembered the time Kagome had come over to her house and helped her rake leaves, using her rake as a 'magical broom' that could take them anywhere. That had been one and a half years away but it seemed like yestterday. Most of their memories seemed that way.
"Up or down..." Kagome looked at her hair. "Whatever... It's going up." She then started torturing her hair up into a ponytail.
Hinata on the other hand was busy throwing on clothing. The two girls didn't care if they impressed the others of their age group. They were supposed to be friends and most friends didn't care if others looked bad or not. Well... Sakura cared but the other Genin just ignored her when she got fussy.
"Ready?" Hinata looked over at the door where Kagome stood as she threw a top over her head.
Kagome opted on a grey pair of shorts, a deep purple sweater and black ninja sandals. The pearl eyed girl had on a pair of loose fitting jean capris and a tight black v-neck shirt that had a pearly blue tank top under it. It was acompanied by her own pair of black ninja shoes.
"R-Ready" she repeated.
Sasuke looked at himself in the mirror and sighed.
The only reason he was going to this party was because he heard Kagome was going. If not he could always hang out with the dobe.
Another sigh. "Tonights going to be long."
The Genin of Konoha sat around in a tight circle. As soon as they had arrived Ino had told them to jump right into truth or dare. It was now Kagomes turn to dare Kiba.
"Kiba I dare you to... Hold Shino's hand for the rest of the night. Even when going to the bathroom." A few chuckles and snorts came from the crowd.
Before the dog-boy could react Shino had grabbed his hand.
"Let's get this over with." he grumbled from behind his high collar.
"Alright! Go Kiba!" Ino laughed.
"Hmm.. Hinata. Truth or dare?" Kiba asked.
"I choose d-dare." Hinata whispered.
"Well... Uh... I dare you to... Kiss Naruto! Yeah!" others cheered them on and the indigo haired girls face lit up to the color of a tomato while the blond on the the other side of the circle let out a nervous laugh. Not most noticed the small blush stained on his cheeks.
They stared at each other and leaned in to let their lips touch. Kagome almost laughed as her best friend almost fainted from the contact. When they pulled back the raven haired girl had to hold onto the other to keep her steady.
"So Hinata... How was it?" Kagome chuckled into her ear.
The girl blushed more and turned to Sasuke.
"Truth or dare?" She asked with a ditermend face.
"Dare." he said lazily.
"I d-dare you t-to k-kiss Kagome-chan." a small blush covered Hinata's cheeks as she requested him to do it.
"WHAT!" Sakura shrieked.
Sasuke didn't mind. He leaned in as well as she and their lips touched.
Maybe the night wasn't going to be that long.
BWAHAHA DONE! Bam... I hope you liked my improvised chapter and I hope you don't mind the lateness. CURSE YOU ENGLISH AND SCIENCE PROJECTS! Blegh.
