Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Naruto

Sorry for the loooonnnnngggg wait, but here is chapter 3. Thanks for the reviews, keep them coming. :)

It was a nice sunny day. The birds were singing, people were going here and there doing there business, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

"Eh!" A loud yell rang throughout the whole village. People stopped doing whatever they were doing, but when they realized what just happened they continued on. This seemed to be very common around Konoha, or more specifically in the ramen stand, Ichiraku.

"T-that's im-impossible!" Another yell rang out. As it turns out, it's the not too famous Naruto Uzumaki making all the ruckus.

"It's very possible Naruto-kun." Kagome said, sitting right next to him. After last night's events she decided to have a nice day and try to get to know their kid.

"B-but how...!?" Naruto looked at her skeptically, not believing a word she said.

Kagome merely winked at him. "That's my little secret."

Naruto contemplated for a second, but then an idea came up. "Don't tell me you're just like Tsunade-baachan?"

Kagome gave him a questioning look. "Tsunade-chan?"

"Yeah! Like how she uses this jutsu that can hide the fact that she's old!" Naruto even wrinkled his whole face up to show what he meant.

Kagome's eye twitched a little, but didn't say anything about his choice of words. On the other side of Naruto, Kakashi could be seen scooting away little by little, not wanting to be on the receiving end of Kagome's anger. The only reason he's there is because he wanted to make sure Sasuke was fine and Naruto wouldn't do anything idiotic in front of Kagome, which is what he is doing right now.

Sasuke, on the other hand, was sitting next to Kagome and was glaring fiercely at Naruto. He did not like that Naruto was taking her whole attention. Ever since the dobe interrupted their meal, he's been hogging Kagome's attention, leaving him with nothing. He seriously felt like hitting him in the head and stop his idiotic questions, but that wouldn't sit well with Kagome, not after the long talk they had last night. 'Never beat the crap out of your teammate no matter how annoying they are...' Her words rang in his head, yet he couldn't stop the thought of wanting to do it. And so he settled with glaring.

Kagome forced on a smile. "What makes you say such a thing, Naruto-kun?"

He slurped up a couple of noodles. "Well... for one you look too young to be what you're saying you are and two... Kakashi-sensei is old."

Kakashi just gave him a deadpanned look. "Gee, Naruto what a great way to make a guy feel young."

Naruto gave him a goofy grin. "Your welcome, Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi sighed in disappointment, Naruto really needs to learn when someone is using sarcasm.

Kagome giggled at Naruto's innocence. "I'll take that as a compliment, Naruto-kun. But to tell you the truth, I'm actually way older than Kakashi."

"Aha! So you are using that jutsu!" Naruto pointed an accusing finger at her.

She merely huffed, offended by his implications. "Of course not. If I really did look like an old hag I wouldn't try to hide it, people should be satisfied with their looks."

Naruto blinked in confusion. "Then how is it that you look only a couple of years older than us, yet you're older than Kakashi-sensei?"

Kagome took a couple of bites out of her ramen before answering. "I would be what you call an immortal."

"An immortal?!" Naruto shouted out in surprise. He wasn't the only one, Sasuke's eyes widened, yet he didn't react the same way as Naruto. He had his suspicions for a while, but he didn't have anything to prove it. Kakashi, on the other hand, was calm and collected, already knowing what she was.

"D-does that mean that you can't d-d-d-die?" Naruto sputtered out.

Kagome shook her head. "I can still die, just not from old age."

"I see..." Naruto squinted his eyes in thought. "How old are you again?"

She merely scoffed at him. "As if I would tell you."

"So...you're too old to even count."

A tick appeared on her forehead. "Why you little-!"

"Now, now, sensei, no need to get so riled up." Kakashi decided to intervene before Naruto got hurt.

She huffed and crossed her arms, she never liked people talking about her age... or when they called her old.

"So... how exactly did Kakashi-sensei become your student?" Naruto asked.

She hummed in thought. "It was a request from the Fourth Hokage."

"Y-you knew the Fourth Hokage?!"

"Of course, I knew every single one of Jiraiya's students."

This time he spit up the noodles he was slurping. "You know Ero-sennin!"

She cackled up at those words. "Great name for that pervert! And yes I know him, though it's been a while since I've seen him. I wonder what poor woman he's spying on right now."

"He's somewhere in the village, you should probably check the bath house." Naruto suggested.

"Nah, I'd rather have him get caught by a mob of woman and be chased all over Konoha. Besides, I have more important things to take care of." She gave one glance towards Sasuke, which did not go unnoticed by Naruto.

"What does Teme have anything to do with you?"

Sasuke glared darkly a Naruto. "That's none of your-" He was interrupted by Kagome. "Sasuke will be under my guidance from this day forward."

Naruto's mouth hung wide open. "Naruto, you'll catch flies if you don't close your mouth." Kakashi said dryly.

"H-h-h-he...y-y-y-you..." He couldn't get those words out, too stunned to even speak right.

"Yes, Sasuke is my new student." Kagome finished for him.

Naruto stayed quiet for a second but then voiced his opinion. "What!" Everyone had to lean away, so their ears wouldn't get damaged with his shout.

"Is something the matter Naruto-kun?" Kagome asked.

"Of course there's something wrong! Why does that Teme get to have someone like you and I get stuck with Ero-sennin! Besides, he should be punished for attacking one of his teammates!" Naruto shouted, pointing accusing finger at Sasuke.

"I have already discussed yesterday's actions with him, something like that will not happen again. And my reason for teaching him is because it is my responsibility to care for him." She explained calmly.

"But...!" Naruto protested but was interrupted by her.

"No 'buts' Naruto-kun. Jiraiya is a good teacher, taking out the fact that he's a pervert." She told him, waging a finger at him.

"Hey!" A sudden voice said behind them. All of them turned around to see who it was. Recognition flashed in everybody's eyes.

"My, my if it isn't Jiraiya. What a surprised to see you here. I would have thought you would be in the hot springs all day, trying to gather 'inspiration' for your books." Kagome said sarcastically.

Jiraiya sniffed, almost looking offended. "For your information I just came back from that, I have gathered enough to form a new book. And I'm not a pervert...I'm a super pervert."

Almost everyone sweat dropped at that, they would have thought he would deny it but instead he goes on boasting about it.

A smirk appeared on Kagome's lips. "I can see that you haven't changed, but it has only been two years. It looks like some things just have to be beaten out of you."

Jiraiya trembled when he saw her giving him a sinister look. There are only two women in the world he is afraid of, her and Tsunade. But if he would want to mess with one it would be Tsunade. Yeah sure, Tsunade can throw punches that can kill but Kagome...Kagome would take her time and torture you.

He laughed nervously, trying to hide his fear. "I-I guess that just how I am."

She simply snorted at his response. "Well, I guess it's time for me and Sasuke to get going." She took one final sip from her bowl and then slammed down the counter. "Thank you for the food."

Standing up, she looked towards Sasuke, making sure he was ready. All Sasuke did was nod in response before standing up himself.

As she walked away, she waved her hand at them. "See you guys around." With that she was gone, Sasuke trailing behind her.

They walked around Konoha, having no specific destination in mind. Kagome hummed a tune Sasuke slightly recognized, and every step she took had a little more bounce to it. All in all, today was a very relaxing day.

"Sasuke…" At the sound of his name, he turned his eyes towards her, showing her that he was listening.

"Is there somewhere that you would wish to go?" She asked, not turning to look at him. Sasuke gave her a confused look, but though about her question. Why would he want to go somewhere else when all he wanted to do was spend his time with her? Besides, he's already gone to every place in Konoha and nothing ever seems to entertain him.

"No," Was his answer. All he got in response was a hum.

"Good because we need to begin packing."

At those words, his eyes widen, his steps taking a sudden halt. "Why?"

Kagome chose to ignore his question and continued walking, Sasuke snapping out of his surprise and followed her. He wanted to know why they were leaving, but he also knew when not persist for an answer.

Their walk was in silence, until they finally arrived to his apartment, Sasuke being the first one to break the silence. "Why are we leaving?"

This Kagome chose to answer. "I cannot train you in Konoha, not with Orichimaru after you."

Sasuke gave her a questioning glance. "What does he have to do with my training?"

"He will come after you, endangering many of the innocent lives in this village. I do not want to risk that. But he is not the only reason." Sasuke stayed silent, allowing her to continue. "The memories you hold in this village will hold you down, the ones about Itachi."

At the mention of his brother's name, he tensed up. Was she basically saying that he should forget all about him and his reason for wanting to become stronger?

"I do not want revenge to be the reason for your strength, Sasuke. Sometimes hatred only makes you weaker."

He listened to her words, but he didn't know if he should believe her. So far, revenge is what has gotten him going, to just forget is too difficult for him.

Kagome kept a close eye on his reactions. Sasuke hasn't told her that he would and she knew that he would not stop perusing his revenge, but at least for a while she wanted to keep it at bay.

"Are you against the idea of leaving the village, Sasuke?" She asked, breaking him out of his thoughts.

He thought about it for a few seconds, but he knew the answer. "No."

She nodded her head in acceptance. "Good than, we will be leaving in three days. Make sure to do whatever you need to do before we leave. Is that understood?" She gave him a pointed look, he knew very well what she was talking about.

"Hai."
