“Speaking”‘Thoughts’



Chapter SixEnter Team Gai



Naruto was freaking out almost literally pulling out his hair “Oh no I lost her! How can you loss a person in such short amount of time?” he asked himself piteously while looking for raven hair and armor. “I mean how hard can it be to find someone where actual armor!” he shouted at himself ‘I am so dead!’ he thought knowing the Tsunade-baabaa will kill him when she finds out it was him that lost her. “Kagome!” Naruto yelled hoping she would hear him, only he was not so lucky.


“Naruto!” a male voice yelled from somewhere within the crowd of people. Naruto stopped and turned towards the direction of the voice hoping it was someone who could help him before he gets killed. “Oi fuzzy brows, Come here I need some help” Naruto yelled as he saw the miniature Gai also known as Rock Lee.


Rock Lee jogged towards Naruto the rest of his team in tow. “Hey Naruto what’s up?” Rock Lee asked as he stopped in front of Naruto.


“I am so dead! I lost her and now Tsunade-baabaa will kill me!” Naruto was cut off of his rant by his friend.


“Whoa there Naruto, who did you loose?” Rock Lee asked as his teammates stepped up beside him all waiting for Naruto to answer.


“I lost Kagome! I mean come on, how could I loose a woman wearing armor and not to mention beautiful! She would stick out like a sore thumb. I need to find her before Tsunade-baabaa finds out!”


Striking a heroic pose Rock Lee shouted “You can count on us Naruto! We will find her with the power of our YOUTH!” he finished with thumbs up and a sparkling smile just like his sensei would have done.


“Oh thank god! Neji you could find her no problem with your eyes! I mean she sort of glows. I can see it and I don’t even have your eyes.” Naruto finished looking hopefully at Neji.


Neji looks at Naruto “Why can you not track her through scent?” Neji asked knowing that because of the Kyuubi he had a great sense of smell.


Naruto chuckles while rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment “well she does not have a scent. She is hiding it some how, I think it maybe part of her training as a demon slayer or a miko. Anyway wouldn’t you want to meet the very person that will be training a few hand chosen shinobi in the way of demon slaying?” Naruto asked slyly knowing that if that did not catch their attention then this will “She was the one that the Hokage, Gaara, and I summoned out of that jewel thing.”


Naruto watched as the light of curiosity entered the eyes of all 3 of the Team Gai ninja. “Hm, fine” Neji said as he closed his eyes only to open them with a “Byakugan!” veins protruded from his temple as his hereditary trait made itself known.

It only took a moment before he seen the ‘light’ as Naruto had explained it and it was something amazing. He had never seen or heard anything like it in his life “she is in the flower shop with Ino” Neji said to Naruto while dispelling his Byakugan and walking towards the shop she was located in. He was curious about her and that light she excluded, it was not chakra he could tell that much but he was unsure to what it actually was.


“Great! Thanks Neji!” Naruto said as he followed Neji to the flower shop ‘now that I think of it, it was around there that I noticed her missing.’ Naruto thought with a shake of his head ‘sometimes I could be so dense!’ he thought as they walked towards the flower shop.


Kagome was still in the flower shop, but the talk was a lot less intense. Ino was filling her in on the village gossip. Who liked whom, who hated whom, who the perverts were and all that stuff. Kagome was warned against liking that Sasuke boy because he was the boy that Ino like. She was warned that Kakashi had a not so pure past time. She was also informed to never treat Naruto to ramen because his appetite would not only bankrupt her, but disgust her as well. Kagome just laughed knowing that she had already had the pleasure of eating ramen with Naruto. Ino also told her that Naruto was off limits because her friend Hinata was in love with him. This leads them to the current conversation ‘the available hotties of the village’ or so Ino dubbed them.


“There is the destiny and fate believer Neji he is of the Hyuuga clan and is considered a genius and really strong. There is also Kiba he is of the Inuzuka clan he is funny and hot, but he is just too attached to his dog. Lets see there is also Shikamaru Nara of the Nara clan he is really smart but lazy. There is also Shino Aburame if you can get past all those nasty bugs then I guess he could be considered cute. You should really decide who you want soon because they are the top ninja and could be taken off the market at anytime because they are highly desirable.” Ino said to a blushing Kagome “Are you blushing?” Ino asked with an amused tone.


Kagome chuckled “I am not interested in taking anyone off the ‘market’ as you put it. I am not one to jump into relationships no matter how good looking. Gaining a mate or lover is the last thing on my mind right now ninja or not my life would be hard for them to handle. Plus I have been imprisoned in a Jewel for 2000 years so men are the last thing I am interested in.” Kagome said to Ino as she laughs at Kagome’s face expressions.


“2000 years without boys and they are the last things on your mind! I think if it was me I would probably jump bones with the first hot guy I see!” Ino started but was interrupted.


“Good thing she isn’t you Ino” the voice of Naruto was heard as he walked into the flower shop. He had heard a little bit of their conversation as he neared the door. “And you! I have been looking all over for you” Naruto said pointing to Kagome as she smiled at him.


“Well Naruto you obviously were not looking hard enough because if you were you would have known to look for my aura. After all it would be the only one like it in the area.” Kagome said in a chastising tone while approaching Naruto. “It was nice to meet you Ino-san” Kagome said over her shoulder as she reached Naruto.


“Aura?” Naruto asked confused by the term.


Kagome looked at him aghast “you mean to tell me that you don’t even know what an aura is?” Kagome asked as they walked through the door towards the outside.


“No I don’t think I have ever heard of that word before.” Naruto responded while rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.


“Geez if you ninja don’t even know how to sense aura’s then how do you tell how powerful an opponent is or if they are even human?” Kagome asked all the while thinking how that was the very first think she learned in miko training, but even Sango could sense aura’s.


“You could tell that just by looking at the person?” Naruto asked intrigued as he walked towards the people who helped him find her.


“Yes Naruto that was how I was able to tell what you held inside of you, or the fact that Sasuke had that seal thing. You could also tell how much power the person houses or demon for that matter. Every person as their own aura and they each give off a specific feel.” Kagome said as they came to a stop in front of 3 more people.


“This is Kagome, Kagome this is Tenten, Neji, and Rock Lee.” Naruto introduced once they met up with them.


“Nice to meet you” Kagome said with a nod of her head before turning her eyes to the one called Rock Lee “Naruto tell me, why did your Hokage tell me that no monks or miko’s had been born in centuries when it is obviously not true?” Kagome asked Naruto while looking at Rock Lee; well she was not looking at him directly but more around him.


“What do you mean? There have not been any monks or miko’s known in centuries” Naruto answered while looking from Kagome to Rock Lee the person who held her attention now.


“So you mean to tell me they do not know? This boy is a monk and a fairly powerful one as well. I did not know any better I would say he was a descendant of Miroku, his power is comparable maybe a reincarnation?” Kagome said as she went off into thought.


“You mean that fuzzy brows here is a monk with holy powers?” Naruto almost laughed “I mean he can’t even use chakra how could he have the same powers as you?” Naruto asked looking at Kagome wide eyed as the rest of them just stared at her dumbly.


“Reincarnation?” Neji questioned interested in what she had to say. Was it true that Rock Lee was the reincarnation of this monk she knew? Were they destined to reunite even after the death of this monk?


“I would have to take a closer look at his soul, but I am sure of the power I feel. He is a monk. He must start his training soon his powers are dormant now, but should he need them they will activate and he could end up killing Naruto or someone else he does not wish too. Untrained holy powers are dangerous his chakra is not non existent either Naruto they are just being used up. His chakra is keeping his power under control which is why it looks as if he has so little.” Kagome said to Naruto before turning to the quiet boy “I could help you realize your potential.” She offered with a smile.


“Really? I have holy powers? What are holy powers?” he asked not knowing what they are he had never really known anything about monks or their special powers.


“Ohh Kagome do the fade thing! No do the pink ball thing! No do something new! Yes something new!” Naruto exclaimed happy that he will get to see a new technique that Kagome can do.


Kagome received an evil glint in her eyes and a totally sardonic smile graced her face as the others stepped back in surprise “Oh I wish that Inu boy was here” Kagome started off handily.


“Why” Naruto questioned


Kagome just laughed while pulling out what looked to be a beaded necklace with fangs on it. “Because the last person to wear this was an Inu hanyou and it seemed fitting, but I guess a fox boy would do fine.” Kagome chuckled at Naruto’s now nervous face.


The others watched with curiosity as Naruto fidgeted and Kagome arranged the beads in her hand while lifting them to prayer form.


“Kagome wh-what are you going to do?” Naruto asked nervously while looking from the beads to Kagome.


“I was going to have you wear them anyway when I began to teach you what we spoke of earlier, but now’s as good a time as any” she said as she began a chant.


They watched as the beads began to glow then separate then each bead took off flying towards Naruto. “AHHHHHH!” Naruto screamed as he tried to get away from the beads. He figured that if he hid behind Kagome they would get her instead of him, but he was wrong.

Naruto watched as the beads just went around Kagome and around his neck. “What the hell!” he questioned as he tried to pull them off “They won’t come off” he said as he tried to pull them off.


Kagome chuckled turning to Naruto “They will never come off unless I take them off.” She said before she turned to Rock Lee. This was the first spell I learned ‘the spell of subjugation’ this technique is used to subdue a demon. This spell comes in handy when a demon goes into a rage and you have to stop him and do not wish to kill him. This spell when activated literally knocked my hanyou friend from his rage each time he went into one.”


“What does it do?” asked Naruto nervously it couldn’t be good if it was strong enough to shock the sense back into a demon. “And why would I need it?” he asked clearly not happy with the situation.


“Well for the first thing if I was to fix your seal I would need a safety net of some kind. And I will just show you what it does. SIT” Kagome said then the necklace glowed and Naruto was forced face first into the ground.


“What the hell! That hurt” Naruto exclaimed as the watchers just laughed.


Kagome just waved her hand in front of her “Don’t worry your not going to keep it. I will take it off each time we use it.” She informed him before she whispered “but it is a great stress reliever”


“Whaa good take it off!” Naruto demanded as Kagome laughed and moved to remove the pesky necklace.


“Yea Inuyasha didn’t like it either” Kagome said laughing while pulling the beads over his head then placing them back inside a hidden pocket within her kimono.


“That was neat Miss Kagome. You will teach me to do things like that?” asked Rock Lee when he got his laughing under control.


“Oh yes that and more.” Kagome turned back to them with a smile.


“That would be wonderful thank you Kagome-san” Rock Lee said with a bow.


“No problem! Trust me I know what it is like to have power and not know how to use it. I can guarantee you will not find another teacher with as much experience as me. I am after all over 2000 years old.”


Rock Lee coughed “2000 years old! You don’t look a day over 20 if that, such YOUTH!”


Kagome turned to the boy at his side and whispered “Is he always so enthusiastic?”


The boy grunted not saying anything in response to her whispered question. It was a well known fact he was always like that and she would soon find out for herself.


When she heard the grunt she looked towards the face of the one she spoke to and that was when her eyes met the lilac pupil less eyes of Neji “wow what unique eyes you have” Kagome said as she looked at him. “I don’t think I have ever seen eyes like yours. You don’t seem blind?” Kagome said the last part more to herself then to anyone else, but she was aware they heard her especially after Naruto started laughing.


“Blind? Neji? Hahahaha. Neji probably has one of the best eyes in the village!” Naruto said to Kagome as she tilted her head in confusion and Neji nodded to Naruto’s opinion. It was true after all.


“Really, Where I come from people with no pupils usually are blind that’s why I thought… Never mind” Kagome shook her head then smiled “Humans must have evolved a lot over 2000 years.” Kagome said absently to no one in particular. “It’s a curious thing really to be able to see the changes in the world after so much time. Even when I was back in the feudal era it was something else to see the two different worlds. It was amazing to see how much humans learned over the span of 500 years, but it is nothing compared to now. Ninja in the feudal era were not able to do any of the jutsu I head about and in the time I was born in Ninja was an extinct line. So were demons for that matter, but I guess either they were in hibernation or they blended. This time however is the perfect blend of both times the wilderness of the feudal era and the technology of the modern era.”


Naruto has been curious about her and wanted to ask a few things and since she brought it up now would be the perfect time to put at least one question to rest. “You know I was curious. How do you feel about being free again and in a time so far from your family?”


Kagome clicked her tongue while she thought about how to answer that question. “Well I am saddened that they are all surely dead, but it was my destiny to be different.” Kagome said in response to Naruto’s question, but he did not look like he would accept such a small explanation. Kagome sighed before continuing “I am sure I have descendants out their some where my brother must have had children some where along his life. I could not however approach them even if I had found them. My life is to dangerous to drag people into which is why I will train your ninja to slay demons then I will disappear.” Kagome said to Naruto before continuing in a saddened tone “it is my fate to be alone. Death is all that awaits those that enter my life.”


“What is so different between your life and the life of a shinobi?” This time it was Rock Lee that asked the question. This was something he had to know especially since it may become his life once he trains his powers.


“The jewel I was imprisoned inside is a very powerful ancient artifact that can enhance demons or tainted humans powers 100 fold. Once word gets out that I have returned I have no doubt that greedy demon will come in search of me. And it will only become worst when they learn that the jewel is no longer in that form.” Kagome replied to his question the best she could.


“But if this Jewel was so wanted by demon then why was it so easy for Gaara to find?” Naruto asked as he recalled the story of how the jewel was found.


Kagome looked to Naruto before replying “The only thing I could think of was that whatever showed him where I was knew I was there. I was told that this Gaara controlled sand because he was once like you Naruto; the only thing I could think of was that the demon sealed within him knew me and where I was hidden. I know not what type of demon he had sealed within him so I am not sure who it was though I only knew a few ‘good’ demons.” Kagome informed him of what she thought had occurred.


“I know what type of demon that was sealed within him and it was not a ‘good demon’” Naruto exclaimed.


Kagome laughed “Ah Naruto, are you forgetting already what we spoke of while we were at that ramen stand? The seal could have done to that demon as it had done to yours. What type of demon was it Naruto do you know?” Kagome asked looking at Naruto waiting for his reply.


“Yes he had a raccoon dog sealed within him.” Naruto answered while everyone silently wondered if she was correct ‘did she really know the demon?’


“Hmm, raccoon dog huh? I only know one raccoon dog but he was a coward, but I guess a lot could change in 2000 years. I just can’t see Hachie doing anything evil he was a friend and vassal of Miroku the monk. So it might not even be him it could be a child of his, that would be possible.” Kagome thought out loud all the while answering the un asked question.

Neji looked at the girl taking in her features ‘she does not look all that powerful or evil to be associating with demons’ he thought before he voiced his question. “Do you make it a habit to befriend demons?”


Kagome looked at him sharply there was something in his tone she did not like. “I know many demons and not all of them are evil. I know a fox demon, a full blood inu Taiyoukai, a Inu hanyou, a Nekomata, 3 wolves, a raccoon dog, a flea demon, an old fire demon, a few panthers, a kappa, and a two-headed dragon. Those are the ones that were still alive when I was imprisoned so I was not counting any I knew that died in battle. It is just like humans to fear or hate what they do not understand.” Kagome said looking to the Neji boy daring him to say something.


He didn’t.


“Naruto we must find Sasuke-san so I can start the barrier and choose my team.” Kagome said turning to Naruto as he nodded and they left the group.


“For a Miko she sure seemed to know a lot of demons!” Rock Lee exclaimed to his team mates still unsure what to think of her.


“I know it’s weird. She is supposed to be a demon slayer, but yet she has demon friends.” Tenten spoke for the first time since meeting Kagome.


“Matters not lets go.” Neji said as he walked in the opposite direction of Naruto and Kagome. He was debating whether or not he would show up to recruitment. Did he want to learn anymore then he already knew about demons? He was unsure but what he did know was that learning to kill them would come in handy, of that he was sure.
