The rising sun shone brightly into the bedroom of Uchiha Sasuke, illuminating his room and the bed. An arm shot up out of the blankets to cover a sculpted face with black bangs.

I have to get up…

Emerging from the warmth of his bed, he stretched and opened his onyx eyes, wondering what the day would bring.

Kagome…is she going to watch us train again today?

On the other side of Konoha, the Hidden Village of the Leaves, a raven-haired girl threw on her backpack and ran down the stairs.

“Ack, I'm late! Mom! I'm leaving now!”

“Okay Kagome. Come back soon.”

“I will Mom! Bye!”

A brown-haired woman smiled at the back of her retreating daughter.

“I hope you find happiness in your life Kagome, just like I did with your father.”

“Kakashi-sensei is late again! And so is Sasuke-kun!”

“Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan, there's no reason to worry!”

“Yes there is! What if Sasuke eloped with Kagome?! They've gotten really close.”

“Sakura-chan, you can't help it if Sasuke likes Kagome.”

And I like you.

“But Naruto! I've known Sasuke longer and we're teammates! That should account for something.”

“So have we Sakura-chan.”

“Naruto, I told you before, I just don't-”

“Guys! Am I late?!”

Kagome came sprinting up to Naruto and Sakura.

“I ran all the way from my house! I didn't want to interrupt your training or anything-”

She was tackled by an over-exuberant Naruto.

“It's okay Kagome-chan! I'm glad you're here!”

“What's going on here?”

Kagome's eyes moved from Naruto to Sasuke. Her eyes lit up happily.

“Sasuke!”

“What are you doing with Naruto?”

“Huh?”

Sakura grinned behind her hand as she surveyed the scene.

A grinning Naruto was laid on top of a confused Kagome. Naruto's mouth was a few inches away from Kagome's soft pink lips and his arms were wrapped around her waist. Both Kagome's and Naruto's breaths were coming out in soft pants.

“Morning. Sorry I'm late, I must have gotten lost on the road of life.”

Flames erupted from behind Sakura.

“You're late again Kakashi-sensei! Try being on time for once!”

Inner Sakura made her appearance behind Sakura.

AND you interrupted the fun. Sasuke saw Kagome and Naruto together and I think he was just about to yell at Kagome. I have a chance to be with Sasuke!

“Ah, Kagome, you're here. Are you going to watch us train?”

He completely ignored the fact that Naruto was covering Kagome with his body.

“Yes she is. What are we doing today?”

“So impatient Sasuke. Today we're going to help Kagome clean out her shrine.”

Naruto finally moved off of Kagome and extended a hand to help her up. Kagome took it and smiled gratefully at Naruto.

“Thank you Naruto.”

Naruto rubbed the back of his head and blushed slightly.

“You're welcome Kagome-chan.”

“Are you really going to help me clean out my shrine?”

“Of course Kagome. That's our mission. And we get to spend more time with you.”

Kagome smiled winningly at Kakashi. A very light blush appeared under his mask, coupled with a frown from Sasuke.

Naruto and Kakashi-sensei are getting too close to her for my liking. It's my turn now.

“Kagome-chan?”

“Hmm Sasuke?”

“You must be tired from running all the way here from your home. From what I hear, it's pretty far away.”

“Sasuke? How did you know that?! I only told Naruto and Sakura…”

Damn. She can't find out I was eavesdropping.

“Lucky guess. Here, let me carry you.”

Sasuke put one arm on Kagome's back and hooked the other under her legs. In one smooth motion, he had her bridal style against his chest.

Sakura nearly exploded with envy as Kagome blushed.

Once again, Inner Sakura made her appearance.

Who does she think she is?! Sasuke-kun is MINE! M-I-N-E! I have to talk to Sasuke now or it will be too late. She's trying to steal my team and my Sasuke!

“Sasuke?”

Sakura looked around to find her team leaping away from her, heading the direction of Kagome's house.”

Naruto turned around slightly and shot Sakura a grin.

“Sakura-chan! Hurry up or you'll be left behind!”

An angry tick mark appeared on Sakura's head. She took off after her team.

After the team arrived at Kagome's house, they were plastered by sutras from Kagome's jii-chan (grandfather), who came out of the house.

“Demon begone!”

Team Seven peeled off the sutras.

Kagome's grandfather almost had a heart attack.

“What?! These were scared sutras passed down from generation to generation! Why does it not work on you?!”

“Jii-chan!”

Kagome pushed her grandpa into the house and rubbed the back of her head embarrassedly.

“S-sorry. My grandpa is slightly paranoid about demons attacking.”

Sasuke chuckled and let Kagome down.

“That's alright. No harm was done right?”

“Sasuke-kun! I got sutras stuck on me and you say nothing's wrong?!”

“Sakura, there's nothing wrong. Kagome, what do you need us to do?”

“I can do all of it myself though. I don't want to have to strain you guys.”

Kakashi cut into the conversation.

“Kagome, this is our mission. And things will go much faster if we use our ninja powers. Plus, it will be good training.”

“If you're sure…”

“Yes we are.”

“Okay. The scrolls need to be dusted and so do the cabinets. Be careful, there's a lot of dust.”

Naruto zoomed off.

“I called it!!!”

Kagome looked at Naruto running off and giggled. She turned back to the rest and saw Sasuke glaring at Naruto's retreating back.

“Sasuke-kun, is there something wrong?”

Sasuke shook his head and his eyes snapped back to Kagome.

“Next we need someone to read through the scrolls and sort them in alphabetical order.”

Sakura grinned and walked off.

Yes! I can get more information for myself. And I can show off to Sasuke-kun! I won't lose yet!

“The last time we had a storm, trees got knocked over. There's still many branches that need to be removed. Some are really heavy though…”

“Leave the heavy work to me.”

Kakashi disappeared in a poof of smoke.

We're finally alone.

“What can I do Kagome?”

“Well, actually, there's nothing left to do. You can help one of the others.”

“Kagome, can we walk in your garden?”

A blush quickly appeared on Kagome's face.

“Don't you want to help to others Sasuke?”

“I'd rather spend time alone with you Kagome. We've never had a chance to be alone together.”

“I-let's go Sasuke.”

She quickly turned away from Sasuke and walked into the garden.

Sasuke smiled and followed Kagome.

“Oh look! The roses are in bloom!”

Sasuke kneeled down and used his kunai to take one off of the bush. Trimming its stem for any thorns, he presented Kagome with the red rose.

“For the most beautiful goddess I know.”

Kagome gently took the rose from Sasuke.

“Thank you.”

Sasuke took Kagome into his arms and enjoyed the moment.

This is my perfect moment. Nothing can ruin it now. Except…

A whiny, high-pitched voice assaulted his ears.

“Sasuke-kun!”

A groan escaped from Sasuke's lips.

Kagome giggled and hugged him tightly. She brought him down by his collar so she could whisper in his ear, “We'll continue this later, Sasuke-kun.”

Sasuke shivered at the feel of Kagome's hot breath against her ear.

I can't wait, Kagome-chan.

The shrieks became more fevered and high-pitched.

“Sasuke-kun!!!”

“I guess I'll go see what Sakura wants, ne?”

Kagome nodded and fondled the rose Sasuke gave her.

“Hai, you should.”

Sasuke gave Kagome one last, long glance and walked over to where he heard Sakura scream.

“What is it?”

“It…I…a...THAT THING!”

Sakura was pointing at a worn. A normal, pinkish-brownish colored earthworm.

Sasuke raised an unbelieving eyebrow.

“You called me away from Kagome for that?”

Turning tear-filled eyes to Sasuke, she nodded.

“Pathetic.”

He walked away, jamming his hands in his pockets.

She ruined my time with Kagome! How dare she?

Behind him, Sakura wailed in despair.

“Sasuke-kun! Why can't you love me?”

Sasuke turned around and looked at Sakura in disbelief.

“'Why can't I love you'? `Why can't I love you' Sakura-chan? I will never like you. I never have and I never will. There's only one person that can ever have my heart.”

Sakura launched herself at Sasuke, who sidestepped with ease. She lay on the floor, broken.

“What does she have that I don't?! I'm a prettier kunoichi (female ninja), I'm stronger, I've been on more missions than she has, I-”

“You will never amount to the power Kagome has.”

“What are you talking about Sasuke-kun?! I've been on more missions than she has! I'm a medic nin!”

“Kagome's a priestess. Her powers can be used both on the battlefield and to heal. And she can wield a kunai as well as any kunoichi, or ninja for that matter. Kagome's warm and caring, and her heart is pure.”

“But Sasuke-kun!”

“No buts Sakura. My heart belongs to Kagome and only Kagome.”

Sakura took the chance to shoot a question at Sasuke.

“But what if she doesn't love you back?”

“Then I'll wait forever for her. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to spend time with Kagome, time which you so rudely interrupted.”

Bangs covered Sakura's eyes as Sasuke walked away from her.

Kagome turned at the sound of crunching leaves.

“Oh, Sasuke! You're back so soon. Was Sakura okay?”

Sasuke nodded at Kagome.

“It was nothing.”

“A-are you sure? She sounded really freaked out about something.”

“It was a worm.”

“What? A worm?”

A giggle escaped from Kagome's lips, though she tried her hardest to suppress it. The giggle soon turned into full-blown laughter, with Sasuke joining in.

Sakura peeked over a bush after she heard laughter. She saw Kagome with tears in her eyes laughing. But what most surprised her was the melodic sound escaping from Sasuke's mouth.

Sasuke-kun is laughing with Kagome?!

On the other side, a blond head poked out through the green foliage.

“Oy! Sasuke, Kagome-chan! What are you laughing at?”

Kagome clutched her stomach in pain.

“N…Naruto…hah hah…”

She doubled over with giggles.

“K-Kagome-chan?”

“Hah hah…I'm not laughing at you Naruto…hee hee…I'm laughing at…gah hah hah!!!”

“Sasuke?”

Sasuke just waved his hand, airily dismissing Naruto.

If I say something, I'm going to start cracking up again.

Naruto sweatdropped and popped his head back in the bush.

What weirdoes. I still don't understand why Sakura-chan likes Sasuke.

“Kagome-chan, I've finished clearing the branches. What else-”

Kakashi-sensei was greeted with raucous laughter.

“WAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!”

His face was the epitome of confusion and shock.

“S-Sasuke…look at Kakashi-sensei's face! AH HAH HAH HAH!!!”

“Yes Kagome-chan…”

Sasuke attempted to keep his laughter in, but nothing worked.

“HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!!!!!!!!!”

Kakashi walked away.

What are those two thinking?!

A few minutes later, both calmed down enough to walk into Kagome's house. Their senses were still clogged up from laughing so hard.

“Do you want to come see my room?”

“Hai Kagome-chan.”

Kagome blushed and led Sasuke into her room.

Kagome's brother Souta came running up to the two.

“Kagome! Mom bought us gummy worms!”

Another fit of the giggles encased the two as they both fell on to the futon laughing.

“Umm, sis?”

“S-Souta…hee hee…”

“I'm leaving if you won't stop giggling.”

“Don't leave…Souta…hah hah hah!”

“Fine. I'm leaving a pack of gummy worms on your desk.”

“AH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Souta rolled his eyes and left the room, stuffing gummy worms into his mouth.

Sis and that guy are so weird.

“Whew! That was great!”

Sasuke calmed down enough to get a good look at Kagome's room. It was plain, with small decorations enough to catch his attention. The room was orderly, with not a hair out of place.

“You have a nice room.”

“Hee hee…thanks…I can't stop laughing…gah hah hah!”

A smirk appeared on Sasuke's face.

“Maybe if I do this, you won't laugh anymore.”

“Hah hah…do what?”

“This.”

Sasuke grabbed Kagome by the shoulders and pulled her towards him for a bruising kiss.

“Mmph!”

Kagome's eyes widened then closed in bliss.

“Sa-Sasuke…”

Sasuke gently pulled away from Kagome.

“How was that?”

Kagome leaned her head into Sasuke's chest and sighed happily.

“Amazing…”

He traced her lips with a finger.

“You tired?”

“Mm…”

“Go to sleep then. I'll call you when we're going to leave.”

“Arigato (thank you) Sasuke-kun.”

“You're welcome, my Kagome.”

A FEW YEARS LATER

A four-year old boy ran up to his mother.

“Okaa-san (mother)?”

“Yes Shiroi?”

“How did you meet otou-san (father)?”

A warm smile appeared on Kagome's face as she looked at her son.

“It all started with a girl and a worm…”
