Last Time: When she got there, Sakura immediately noticed that something was different. Turning on the lamp Sakura noticed that the bed was empty. Dropping the flowers she was carrying Sakura quickly spun around to see if she could find out what happened, but instead came face to face with a pair of dark, ebony eyes. And whispered one name, so low that you would have to strain your ears just to hear her say “Kagome”

Chapter Two :The Awoken Uchiha

“You're ... you're really awake.” Sakura stuttered, slowly backing away from Kagome.

“Apparently, but that's beside the point. Tell me... is everything you said true.” Kagome said with a hopeless look in her dark eyes. When Sakura remained quiet, Kagome knew that what she had been told was true. And so she fell to her knees weeping for her lost brothers and family.

Feeling useless just standing there, Sakura placed a comforting arm over the weeping Uchiha, to try and console her. After she was done crying she slowly stood up, and asked for a change of clothes.

When she was done changing, Sakura said that they should go see the hokage. And so they went in silence. Kagome wanting no one to recognize her, wore a long, black cloak hiding most of her face.

When they finally arrived to Tsunade's office, Sakura timidly knocked on the door. When they received no answer, Kagome just barged into the room. Only to find the hokage passed out with an empty bottle of sake in her hand. Annoyed at the sight of a passed out hokage, Kagome grabbed a near by glass of water, and threw it on her.

Awakening with a start, Tsunade was about to tell the person who threw the water off, but was surprised to see a smirking Uchiha in front of her. Stuttering Tsunade said “ You're awake.” As more of a question than a statement.

“Yes, I am. Now that we have that established that tell me everything that has been going on around here. Especially the things you don't tell low leveled shinobis like her.” Kagome said no longer smirking and pointing at Sakura.

“Fine” Tsunade answered then continued “ Sakura could you let the word out that Kagome Uchiha has awoken.”

Knowing that she was unwanted at the moment, Sakura left without a word, leaving Tsunade to fill in the blanks for Kagome.

Meeting up with Lee and Naruto on the street, she told them of the events that occurred. Offering to help her, all three shinobis went off to tell the news of Kagome Uchiha's awakening.

After they were done, they decided to go check things out with the hokage, hoping to see Kagome. But when they arrived, there was a large crowd gathered in front of Tsunade's office, hoping to see the infamous Kagome Uchiha.

“Who knew so many people would try to see Kagome.” Naruto stated pulling both of his hands behind his head, looking at the crowd.

“When I went to her room this morning it looked like nobody had been there in a while. I wonder why the change of heart?” Sakura said also starring at the crowd.

“Wasn't her room restricted?” Lee asked, arching a bushy eyebrow at Sakura.

“Oh yea” Sakura said sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head.

“How 'bout we go get some ramen.” Naruto said getting bored just standing there.

“Didn't you just have some earlier?” Sakura asked, getting annoyed at Naruto.

“That was earlier, this is now.” Naruto answered, leaning against the wall.

“I agree with the blond one. I'm starving.” a voice said coming from behind them.

Turning around they came face to face with Kagome Uchiha. Startled, Naruto was about to yell something, but before he could say anything Kagome silenced him, pointing towards the crowd.

Nodding his head in understanding Naruto closed his still open mouth. Quietly leaving the building they headed to the ramen shop.

“So, you're really Kagome Uchiha. Itachi's twin, and older sister to Sasuke.” Lee said amazed at the older nin walking besides him.

“Sure as I'm walking right besides you.” Kagome replies

“How long have you been in a comma?” Naruto asked

“I'm not really sure” Kagome answered becoming silent.

Glaring at Naruto for asking that question, Sakura tried to start another conversation, but failed miserably. And so they kept walking to the ramen shop in an awkward silence.

Tired of the awkward silence Kagome asked, “So who are you two anyways.” Kagome said pointing to the boys, already been introduced to Sakura.

Embarrassed about not introducing themselves Lee was about to say his name when Naruto beat him to it saying, “My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm gonna be the future Hokage. Believe it!” Naruto said doing a thumbs up. Then went on saying “And the one with the bushy eyes brows is Rock Lee”

“Nice to meet both of you.” Kagome said as they reached the ramen shop. When they went inside they saw that Team 8, Team 10, and rest of Team Gai were there, including Kakashi.

“Wonder why everybody's here?” Sakura and Lee both thought. Where as the only thing going on through Naruto's head was “Ramen, ramen, ramen” Finding an empty table, Kagome made Naruto order the ramen, giving him enough money for all four of them.

“Hey, Kagome how about I introduce you to everybody” Lee asked. Not waiting for a reply he grabbed her arm and went to his sensei's table.

“Kagome, this is my sensei Gai, and these are my teammates Neji Huuyga, and Tenten.” Lee said with much enthusiasm and then continued “Over there is Team 10 lead by Asuma Sarutobi, with his students Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka.”

Finishing for Lee Sakura said “And over there, the lady with red eyes is leader of Team 8, Kurenai Yuhi, and her students are Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuuga, and Kiba Inuzuka. And last, but not least is Naruto and mine's sensei Kakashi. The silver haired ninja reading in the corner.”

“Uhhh... Nice to meet all of you.” Kagome said bowing politely.

“And who are you?” Neji asked, curious about this strange ninja who looked familiar.

“Oh yea, sorry about that. My name is Kagome Uchiha” Kagome said not noticing how everybody became oddly quiet, and started gapping at her.

“Did you just say...? Kag...Kagome Uchiha?” Gai stuttered

“Yea.” Kagome replied, sitting back down.

“You're... You're awake?” Kurenia asked still in disbelief at her being awake.

“You see me sitting down here talking to you. Don't you?!” Kagome replied tired of everybody saying that.

“Where's the ramen Naruto!” Sakura yelled sitting down next to Kagome.

“I'm coming, I'm coming.” Naruto replied carrying the four bowls of ramen.

Setting the bowls down, Naruto and Kagome both started to wolf down there food, while both Sakura and Lee watched mortified at what they were witnessing.

“Are you gonna finish that?” Kagome asked Sakura between mouthfuls of ramen.

Shaking her head no, Kagome greedily grabbed the bowl and started to gorge herself with Sakrua's ramen; Naruto doing the same with Lee's food, except asking if he could have the ramen.

After they were done eating they looked up to find that everybody was starring at them, well mainly Kagome; already being used to Naruto's antics.

Nervous under everybody's gaze Kagome asked “What are y'all looking at?” And everybody quickly looked away, going back to what they were doing before her arrival.

“Thanks for the ramen Kagome” Naruto said getting up and stretching.

“No problem” Kagome replied.

“Well, I better get going. I still have more training to do.” Lee said getting up and leaving.

“Bye” Sakura and Naruto both said at the same time.

“Sakura I've been meaning to ask you something.” Kagome said pushing the ramen bowls away from herself. “How did you know where to find me? I mean that, a lot of people here in the village have forgotten about me, and my room was restricted.”

Smiling, sheepishly Sakura replied “Well I was kind of umm...” Fidgeting under her gaze, Sakura took a deep breath and rapidly said “Well I snuck into the Uchiha mansion to try and fine something that might help Sasuke, and then I came across a family photo of the Uchiha's and noticed that there was an unfamiliar face in it. So I snuck into Tsunade's office, and found out about you.”

Nodding her head, Kagome was about to say some thing when Kakashi decided to join them, sitting in Lee's now empty seat. Asking Naruto what Jiraiya wanted.

“Oh, well you see, he asked me to go train with him.” Naruto said stuttering a little.

“And what did you answer him?” Kakashi asked appearing to look bored, but was actually curious of what his young student had to say.

“I told him that I had to think about it.” Naruto answered looking down.

“I think you should go with him Naruto.” Kagome said then continued “ Jiraiya is a very talented nin and I think you would benefit a lot by going with him”

“From what I have been told Sasuke wants power, and even now he could be training, and you want to be strong enough to beat him one day right?” Kagome asked, looking Naruto in the eye.

“Besides you should leave Sasuke to me.” Kagome said as an afterthought.

“You know what, you're right. I think I am gonna accept Jiraiya's offer.” Naruto said, smiling.

“Speaking of Sasuke, what do you plan on doing?” Kakashi asked, putting down his book waiting for her answer.

“I'm not quite sure. I must proceed with caution though. I mean, it's been a long time since I've seen him, and he may think that I may just be another trick to get him to come back” Kagome answered, looking crestfallen. “But I am planning on going to find my old teammates and sensei.” Kagome finished.

Noticing Sakura's questioning gaze she continued “ It has been a long time since I've trained and I need to freshen up, especially if I'm gonna have to deal with Sasuke and Orochimaru. It's probably best I leave soon.”

“What do you mean leave. Didn't you train here in Konoha” Sakura asked looking at Kagome.

“When Kagome was 5, she showed extraordinary power and talent, surpassing even her prodigy brother Itachi.” Kakashi answered for Kagome not noticing her flinch at the mention of her twin brother Itachi. “She was chosen by the legendary ninja Sesshomaru, himself to go and train with him and his two other students.”

“Wow” both Naruto and Sakura said at the same time. Naruto still curious about Kagome asked about her teammates.

“Well my teammates were two ninjas named Shippo Ogata and Hiten Yamashita. Shippo mainly deals with illusions and Hiten lightning.” Kagome answered making sure not to say too much about her teammates; thinking fondly of both of them.

“Did you train with anybody else?” Sakura asked.

“We trained with three other special teams like mine.” Kagome said taking a drink of her tea. “My teams mostly trained with my sensei's half - brother Inu Yasha, his students are Sango Taiya, and Bankotsu and Jakotsu Shichinintai.” Then added “I think the only reason we trained with them so much, was so that Sesshomaru - sensei could prove his superiority, by showing how much stronger and smarter than we were.”

“Who were the other two teams?” Kakashi asked just as curious as his students were.

“Kikyo Shibata and Koga Arakawa are the senseis and their students are Miroku Obinata, Jeninji Teakeno, Rin Kigami, Ayame Matsudo, and Ginta and Hakkaku Kohno.” Kagome said, taking another sip of her tea.

“It's getting late, why don't you guys head home.” Kakashi said, looking at his own students. Then asking where Kagome planned on staying.

“I'm not really sure.” Kagome replied.

“Why not go back to the Uchiha mansion?” Sakura asked.

“I'm not quite ready to go back there.” Kagome answered with a far off look on her face.

“You can stay with me if you want.” Naruto said looking down.” I don't have much room though.” He stated shyly.

“Thank you Naruto. It would be my honor to stay with you.” Kagome said giving Naruto a knowing smile, making him blush.

With that established Kagome followed Naruto to his apartment, after saying goodbye to both Sakura and Kakashi, walking in a comfortable silence with Naruto.

The next morning Naruto awoke to the wonderful aroma of breakfast. Getting dressed fast, he quickly went to the kitchen, and saw that Kagome had prepared him breakfast. Saying a quick thank you and gulped down all of the food, not having a decent meal in a long time.

After he finished, Naruto wanted to ask what Kagome meant when she said that it would be her honor to stay with him, thinking it should be the other way around.

Noticing his change of behavior, Kagome could tell that Naruto wanted to ask a question. “Is there something on your mind Naruto?”

Deciding to save his question for a later time, Naruto quickly told Kagome he was fine. Not believing him Kagome decided not to pressure him and let it go, for now.

Falling into an awkward silence Kagome asked “So what are you going to do today Naruto?”

“Well I was planning on going to practice my chakra control, and then I was gonna go meet with Jiyaiya - sensei.” answered Naruto.

“Do you mind if I join you?” Kagome asked.

“Not at all.” Naruto replied already walking out of his apartment, Kagome in tow.

When they reached the training area, Kagome sat down and started to meditate. Curious as to what Kagome was doing Naruto asked her what she was doing.

“Meditating.” was Kagome's answer.

Pushing for more information Naruto asked the purpose of meditating. Briefly explaining that it helped her control her chakra, Naruto decided to try and join her in meditating.

After meditating for an hour they both did a few basic exercises. During their small practice session Jiraiya suddenly appeared slightly starling Naruto.

“So, it seems the rumors are true for once.” Jiraiya said standing on top on a tree branch, eying Kagome, and then turning his gaze to Naruto. “Have you come to an answer Naruto?”

“Yes I have, and I've decided to take you up on your offer.” Naruto answered, looking Jiraiya straight in the eye with a fierce determination.
