Last Time: Smiling her famous smile at them, both Shippo and Hiten ran up to her and gave her a hug, successfully knocking the wind out of her. Sesshomaru also went up to Kagome and displayed his affection at having his student back the only way he knew how, “Training begins at sunrise and if you're a minute late that's fifty mile around this village.”

“I missed you too Sesshomaru - sensei.” Kagome replied, smiling up at him.

But sadly their little happy reunion was cut short when Kikyo spoke; “There's something y'all ought to see over here.” She beckoned them, where the nin's body laid, badly burnt.

Taking a look at the body they all whispered one name, which held several meanings behind it, but also shared one. Hate. The name they whispered was...

Chapter Five: Trouble With the Hyuga Clan

Flashback

“Remember we cannot fail this mission. We are to split up, and sneak up on the enemy, and leave only one alive for interrogation.” A chunnin stated, talking to a small group of other nins.

“Hai.” All three of them replied, taking off to there desired destination.

Whey they were in position, they all waited for the signal to take action. Hearing the signal, the chuunins began their attack on what they thought were the enemy.

Realizing too late it was a trap, the leader of the ambush shouted “Bukugan!” But it was already too late; the sound nins had started their counter attack.

Clearly outnumbered, the Konoha nins tried there best to overpower there opponents. But in the end, they were surrounded. Trying desperately to think of a plan to get them out of this sticky situation, the Baukugen user was about to call something out when a bluish green fire started to surround his team and himself. Confused by the fire he was about to act when lightning started to strike, but not only was the lightning striking at a rapid pace, it was hitting the sound nins.

When the lightning had finally ceased, more than half of the sound ninjas had been killed. Along with the lightning stopping the fire had turned into a huge tidal wave and took out the reaming sound nins.

Still on guard, Neji tried to locate the position of the ninjas that had saved them. Surprised that his baukegan could not locate them, Neji called out “Show yourselves, I know that you are out there.”

Hearing a rustling in the leaves, the leaf nins quickly got on guard incase they were indeed enemies.

The first one to step out was a nin who appeared to be a few years older than themselves. He had bright red eyes with long onyx hair, slicked back in a long braid. He wore baggy dark purple pants with a shuriken hoister on his left thigh and a black no sleeve shirt with white sashes tied around his waist and chest. He also had black shoulder plates connecting to a pair of gauntlets. In his hand was a long staff with a blade on the end.

Next to come out was another boy about the same age as the one before him. He had reddish brown hair held up in a low pony tail. He had on baggy brown shorts that went a little below his knees with two shruiken hoisters on each thigh. He also wore a tight black shirt where the right arm was long sleeved and the left are cut off at his shoulder blade. On his left arm, his bicep was wrapped with a teal sash, matching his eyes. And to top everything off, he wore a brown vest held together by another teal sash tied around his waist.

And the last one to come out was somebody whom they hadn't seen for a year. Kagome Uchiha now stood in front of them, her raven hair now in two small braids on each side and the rest covered with a small forest green beanie. She wore a pair of black baggy capries with a shuriken hoister on each thigh like the boy before her and a green sash acting as her belt. Her shirt was a long sleeve forest green with a black vest covering it, hung loosely open. On her left bicep, was a black sash with the Uchiha symbol in crested on it. In addition, dangling on her left ear was a small pink jewel.

“Long time no see Sakura.” Kagome said smiling at the Konoha nins.

End Flashback

It had been two days since then, and now here were all three of them, stuck in a meeting with the council members. They had recently picked up information about an invasion on Konoha and so they had decided to do the right thing and give it to them. They were now regretting doing so.

“So when do you and your comrades plan on leaving Uchiha?” One of the council members asked.

“Surely we cannot let her leave!” another council member spoke up.

“What do you mean you cannot let me leave?!” Kagome growled out jumping out of her seat only to have Shippo and Hiten grab hold of her before she could do any damage...

“We are leaving in three days and there is nothing you can do about it.” Shippo coolly said, sending a glare in the direction of the council member who had tried to stop Kagome from leaving.

“You are a Konoha nin, and your services are needed here.” Danzo smirked, thinking he had won.

“Technically I'm not a Konoha nin, a civilian yes, but not a ninja of this village.” Kagome spoke after she had calmed herself.

“What do you mean by that?” Danzo asked, wanting to have the Uchiha under his control.

“I may have trained to be a ninja, but I never graduated or attended the academy here” Kagome smirked.

Growling Danzo was about to retort when Tsunade cried “Quiet!”

“Kagome will do what she wants since she is correct and we will not try to control her.” Tsunade said daring anybody to challenge her authority.

“Thank you hokage.” Kagome thanked, starting to walk out of the room with Shippo and Hiten in tow.

“The nerve of that pompous ass!” Kagome angrily said, starting to rant about the council members.

“Calm down Kagome, let's just go get something to eat.” Shippo said, trying to get Kagome's mind off a certain council member.

Walking to the nearest restaurant, Kagome accidentally ran into somebody. Quickly apologizing for her clumsiness, Kagome noticed that she had bumped into that Hyuuga girl she had met a year ago.

“Sorry.” Hinata said, looking down at her feet.

“No need for you to apologize. After all it was my fault.” Kagome replied. “And as a token of my apology, I'll treat you to luck.” Kagome said dragging the Hyuuga heiress away; Shippo and Hiten watching in amusement. Hinata didn't even have a chance to say a word in her defense.

“You didn't have to do this.” Hinata finally said, after they had reached the restaurant and were seated.

“That's okay I wanted to.” Kagome answered, looking at the menu.

“So what's your name anyway?” Shippo asked.

“Hinata Hyuuga.” Hinata quietly replied, twiddling her fingers nervously.

“Oh, so you're related to Neji Hyuuga.” Shippo asked again trying to make conversation.

“Of course she is you moron.” Hitan said hitting Shippo behind his head.

“Hey I was just trying to make conversation. Which is more than I can say for you?” Shippo replied, glaring at Hiten.

“Take it somewhere else you two.” Kagome said, not bothering to look up at her two teammates. Taking her advice, the two nins headed outside.

“Excuse me, are you sure you should just let them do that?” Hinata asked, concerned for the two older nins.

“They'll be fine, it's not like they're actually going to fight.” Kagome answered, putting down her menu.

“What do you mean?” Hinata asked, finally picking her head up and looking at Kagome.

“For them to solve there problems they just have to have a drinking contest, and the first one to pass out loses.” Kagome answered, then complained, where's the freakin waiter already?” Right as she said that the waiter appeared and took their order.

“So how is Naruto doing?” Hinata asked, wanting to know about the boy she admired so much.

“He's doing alright, he's been training with Jiraiya, Inu Yasha, and Sesshomaru - sensei. He's certainly come along way since he's started training with them.” Kagome answered, taking a sip of the tea she had ordered.

“Kagome do you think that maybe if you're not busy, that you could teach me a thing or two.” Hinata shyly asked looking down again, clearly embarrassed.

Smiling at Hinata, Kagome replied, “I've got a better idea Hinata. Why don't you come with me when I leave? Kikyo Shibata is looking for a new apprentice, seeing how her students are now on there own.” Kagome offered.

“Are you sure you want, me?” Hinata asked, hoping that she wouldn't change her mind.

“Positive.” Kagome answered, then added, “You study the gentle fist technique, right?”

“Hai” Hinata replied.

“What time does your father or Neji train?” Kagome asked.

“They should be training right now over at the Hyuuga training grounds.” Hinata answered, wondering where Kagome was headed with this.

“You go inform Tsunade of our plans, and also tell her that she's going to need someone to escort the two drunks to their hotel room.” Kagome said, leaving a few ryo on the table and taking off; leaving a confused Hinata behind.

When she reached the Hyuuga district, Kagome made sure to mask her presence, a trick Kikyo had taught her. Spotting Hiyashi and Neji training, Kagome hid in the bushes and activated her sharigan. Luckily they had decided to include Hanabi in this little session, so they made sure to got over and the basics and the more advanced moves.

After a few hours of “researching” the Hyuuga's, she took off hoping no one noticed her. Right when she was out of the Hyuuga district, Kagome accidentally bumped into somebody. Causing them both to fall.

Groaning, Kagome looked up at the owner of the face she had knocked down. When she looked up she saw a half covered face and silver hair. Instantly knowing who it was, Kagome quickly jumped up off of him and started to apologize.

Dusting himself off, Kakashi replied, “It's okay. When did you get into back anyway?”

“About two days ago. What about you? I was told that you were gone on a mission.” Kagome answered.

“Asking about me, were you?” Kakashi asked, smirking as Kagome started to blush.

“And what if I was?” Kagome replied back, trying to hide her blush.

”Excuse me, Kagome. Shippo and Hiten were thrown out of the bar and the hokage told me that no one was available to escort them. Gomen” Hinata stuttered, appearing out of nowhere.

Swearing under her breath, Kagome cursed her two idiotic teammates. “I guess I'll see you another time Kakashi.” Kagome said, walking away with Hinata beside her.

Hinata and Kagome walked in a comfortable silence towards the sake bar, each lost in there own thoughts. Hinata wanted to ask Kagome what she had been up to, but she just couldn't bring herself to ask.

Upon reaching the two drunken ninjas, Kagome and Hinata saw that they were sitting outside, hugging each other and singing? Grumbling, Kagome kicked Hiten who was the closest to her, but he just fell over laughing.

“I can't believe you two morons. It's only been a few hours past noon and you're already wasted. The moon hasn't even come out yet.” Kagome screeched.

Noticing the dazed looks on their faces, Kagome knew that they didn't hear a word she had said. She could scream and scream at those two `til she was blue in the face, and the result would stay the same.

Sighing, Kagome turned to Hinata and pleaded, “Do you mind helping me with these two?”

Shaking her head no, Hinata helped hoister Shippo onto Kagome's shoulder and vice versa with Hiten. On their way to the hotel, Hinata and Kagome hadn't said a word to each other. But that didn't mean the walk was a quiet one. Shippo and Hiten kept making obnoxious comments about every single person that they had come across.

When they had reached the hotel they were staying at, Kagome threw both Hiten and Shippo onto one bed. Secretly hoping that they would get a massive hangover.

“So, Hinata what do you feel like doing?” Kagome, asked, after they were a block away from the hotel.

“Well it is about dinner time, and I'm getting hungry.” Hinata shyly suggested.

“Dinner sounds great.” Kagome chirped perking up at Hinata's suggestion.

“If you want we could go to my house and eat.” Hinata offered.

“Yay, a free meal.” Kagome said, grabbing Hinata's hand and dragging her off to the Hyuuga District. Upon reaching the front gate, Hinata and Kagome saw that there were extra guards out front.

“I wonder why there are so many guards out tonight.” Hinata asked more to herself than Kagome. Ans she may have been, for Kagome was focused on what one of the guards were carrying, a green beanie. Lifting her hands to her head Kagome found to her horror that her beanie was no longer there.

Swearing to herself, Kagome was about to bolt when Hinata grabbed her by the arm and lead her inside, towards the eating area. Deciding to just play it cool, Kagome let Hinata lead her away. Reaching their dining area, Kagome saw that everyone from the main branch was already seated, waiting for their meal. Hinata then proceeded to introduce Kagome to the main branch.

“It's a pleasure to meet you all.” Kagome politely said, bowing.

Not bothering to say anything, Hiashi just nodded is head in reply. Looking up at Hiashi Kagome saw that he had nothing but disappointment in his eyes when he looked at Hinata, but when he looked at Hanabi, Kagome could see pride.

Catching on as to what was going on Kagome decided to stir things up around here. And that chance came soon after they had received their meal.

“Uchiha I was wondering what kind of training did you do with those ninjas that you left with all those years ago.” One of the Hyuuga clan's elder asked, breaking the silence.

“We did all types of training.” Kagome coolly answered.

Appalled by her coldness, the elder was about to say something when Hanabi asked, “Who did you train with?”

“Yes what kind lowly ninjas chose you to train with them?” the Hyuga elder who was insulted earlier rudely asked.

“I trained under the legendary ninja Sesshomaru. And I also trained with Shippo Ogata and Hiten Yamashita. I'm pretty sure you've heard of them.” Kagome answered, looking at the Hyuga's stunned faces. Sesshomaru - sensei has quite the reputation.

Before anyone had a chance to ask her more questions, Kagome spoke, “Recently I have been looking for a good candidate to come train with me, and I also have a friend who is looking for a new apprentice. Have y'all heard of Kikyo Shibata?”

By there sudden silence Kagome could tell that they had heard of Kikyo.

About to suggest Hinata, Hiashai boomed, “My youngest daughter, Hanabi had shown great talent and is a suitable candidate for Shibata's apprenticeship.”

“It would be an honor to go and train with you and your superiors.” Hanabi said, as if she'd already been chosen.

Taking a quick glance at Hanabi, Kagome said, “I'm sorry, but Hanabi isn't quite qualified to be Kikyo's apprentice.”

“And what makes you say that?” One of the elders asked.

“She just doesn't appear to meet the high expectations Kikyo has.” Kagome answered, taking a sip of her green tea.

Surprised at how harshly Kagome rejected his genius daughter, Hiashi's face contorted into rage. Hanabi was also outraged at how Kagome put her down.

“I have a much more suitable candidate in mind.” Kagome continued, enjoying every second of their conversation.

Hinata on the other hand just sat there shocked and worried about what might happen to Kagome. Especially since her father looked ready to kill.

“Oh, you do. Well who do you have in mind that is better suited than my daughter Hanabi?” Hiashi spat out, trying to calm himself down.

“Your other daughter, Hinata.” Replied a now smirking, Kagome.

Finally snapping Hiashi got up and grabbed Kagome by the neck, pinning her to the wall saying, “Who the hell do you think you are. Coming into my home and insulting my daughter.

“Father please.” Hinata pleaded, hoping her father would calm down and put Kagome down.

`Hush Hinata!” Hiashi said, momentarily letting his gaze land of Hinata, then to a smirking Hanabi. Turning back to the Uchiha, he suddenly heard a popping noise, and Kagome was no longer in his grasp. Turning around he saw Kagome calmly sitting at the table and sipping her tea.

Growling, Hiashi said. “I challenge you to a match, and if you win I willing let Hinata go with you.”

Just to bruise his ego, Kagome replied, “Normally I would not accept a challenge of someone who is not at my level, but I will make an exception just this once.”

“You will regret those words Uchiha. No one can defeat me.” Hiashi boomed, leading Kagome towards their training grounds.

Putting some distance between each other, they both turned to each other and bowed; having Hanabi act as referee.

Each activating their kekkei genkai, they both got into fighting stance and waited for the other to attack.

Kagome was the first one to make her move; making a hand signal, a thick mist began to cover the training grounds. Hiashi easily seeing through the mist with his Byakugan instantly spotted Kagome.

Quickly coming up behind her Hiashi attacked, only to have Kagome dodge and stick him in the gut. Unwilling to yield, Hiashi wanted to show Kagome her place, so he prepared to do the eight trigrams sixty - four palms, only to be thwarted by blue fireballs coming at him left and right.

Losing his cool demeanor in battle, Hiashi engaged Kagome in hand to hand combat. To his surprise Kagome blocked his every move.

Knowing that he was trying to block her chakra points, Kagome looked for any flaw in his movements. Upon finding one Kagome took advantage of that and broke Hiashi's arm.

Quickly backing away from Kagome, Hiashi took a look at his arm and noticed that it was broken in two places. Unwilling to admit defeat, Hiashi reset his arm, and got back into fighting stance.

“You are fool Hiashi to think that you could possibly fight with that arm. Admit defeat now, or you will regret it.” Kagome coolly said, getting into battle mode.

“Please listen to her father.” Hinata pleaded, not liking where this match was headed.

“Oh be quiet Hinata. Father is doing just fine.” Hanabi snapped, but actually feeling the same way as Hinata.

“I will not concede.” Hiashi stated, getting his emotions in check.

“Suit yourself.” Kagome replied, smirking. Making a hand seal, Kagome made two copies of herself, while she just stood back and watched the show.

“What do you thing you are doing?” A cold voice, calmly asked from behind Kagome.

Clearly shocked, Kagome jumped a bit and turned around only to come face to face with Sesshomaru.

“Sesshomaru - sensei what are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow.” Kagome stuttered nervously.

“I got here earlier than anticipated. Now I will not ask a third time, what are you doing?” Sesshomaru asked again.

“Fine, I'll pull back the clones, but he deserved it.” Kagome stated, making her clones disappear.

Confused at why she did so, Hiashi tracked down the real Kagome and her conversing with an older man who looked very deadly.

“Oh yea, Sesshomaru - sensei I want you to meet Hinata. She's going to be Kikyo's new apprentice.” Kagome stated, leading Sesshomaru towards Hinata who was now starting to fidget under Sesshomaru's gaze.

“She is worthy enough.” Sesshomaru stated, studying Hinata.

Seething Hiashi made his presence know again, “Fine go with them Hinata if you wish to do so, but do not expect to be welcomed back here if you go.”

AN: For the pairing, I'm still not quite sure who to put Kagome with, so I've decided the person to come up with the best reason why I should put Kagome with whoever they want I will do so.
