Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or InuYasha

AN: I know it's been a while since my last update, but some things came up and a few minor set backs. After this chapter, I'm going to go back and re - write the first six.

 

I've also, finally decided on the pairings, but you won't find out until another chapter or two.

Last Time: Tell me Kagome, just what lengths are you willing to go to for your precious brother.”

 

Smirking Kagome said, “Go to hell.” And with that she suddenly vanished.

 

Clearly not expecting this, Orochimaru roared, “What just happened?” His reply came in the echoing laughter of Kagome Uchiha.

 

Upset that she had gotten away, Orochimaru started to devise a new plan, this time he wouldn't underestimate the Uchiha.

 

“So Sasuke I guess we meet again. I see that you haven't learned your lesson from the last time we met. Tell me, do you need another demonstration of last time.” Itachi stated his sharigan already activated.

 

“Any last word Itachi, for this is the day you pay for your sins.” Sasuske retorted, activating his sharigan.

 

Not bothering to respond, both brothers charged each other, Sasuke prepared to do One Thousand Birds Current and Itachi Tsukuyomi once again on him. Inches away from each other, they soon felt some one grab them by both of their wrists and break it.

 

“Hello little bothers, fancy meeting you guys here.” An angry voice calmly stated.

 

Looking up, both brothers saw another pair of sharigan eyes, starring intensely at both on them.

 

“Ka… Kagome.” They both stuttered.

 

Chapter Seven:

Confrontations among Family & Old Friends

 

“Who were those nins, Sesshomaru - sensei?” A confused Naruto asked once they had disposed of the strange nins that had been following them.

 

“I shall explain later Naruto, but now we must make haste. Kagome and the others are in danger.” Sesshomaru stated.

 

He did not like how things were turning out. The appearance of Itachi and Sasuke were unsettling as it was, and now it seems that he was here along with Orochimaru. He should have finished the job so long ago. Growling, at his foolish mistake, Sesshomaru sped up, Naruto trying desperately trying to keep up with his speed.

 

Sensing the presence of a familiar nin, Sesshomaru let out a low growl as he came to an abrupt halt, coming face to face with three other nins he thought to have been dead long ago. Slightly stunned, Sesshomaru hid his shock with ease, even keeping his emotionless mask on as Naruto soon ran into his back.

 

“Hey Sesshomaru - sensei, why did you stop?” Naruto whined, picking himself up after his little fall, failing to notice the three ninjas standing in front of them.

 

When Sesshomaru failed to acknowledge him, Naruto finally become aware of the three strange looking nins in front of him. Neither of the three wore a hitai-ite to indicate where what village they might be from.

 

The one on the left wore a blue bandana over his head that slightly covered his eyes. He had strange markings on his face that sort of reminded him of the same ones that were on Jakotsu and Bankotsu's faces.

 

Next to him was a kunoichi with strange red eyes. The only other person who he had seen with red eyes besides the Uchiha clan, was Kurenia, maybe these two were related. Both of them also had the same shade onyx hair. This kunoichi before him also had a strange look on her face that he couldn't quite decipher. It was sort of a mixture of hatred, and some other look that he had seen before, but where?

 

And finally the one to the farthest of the right of the other two stood an odd looking ninja. He had an odd lavender shade of hair. His mouth was covered with some weird mask. All in all this guy gave him a very creepy vibe.

 

Feeling a shiver go down his spine, Naruto continued to watch these peculiar newcomers.

 

“What are you doing here Kagura, Juromaru, Renkotsu.” Sesshomaru's icy voice boomed. Never once taking his gaze off of the red eyed women called Kagura.

 

“What a surprise to see you here, Sesshomaru. If you would, we would surely appreciate it if you kindly step aside and let us continue with our business.” Kagura responded. She too kept her gaze on Sesshomaru.

 

“Naruto go on and find Kagome, I will handle these three.” Sesshomaru said, breaking the eye contact to look in Naruto's direction.

 

“But I can't just…” Naruto started only to be interrupted by Sesshomaru, “I said go now!” He barked.

 

Gulping Naruto nodded his head and tried to leave. Only to be stopped by the one with the markings on his face. “And where do you think you're going.” He leered.

 

Glaring he was about to retort when suddenly shruikens were suddenly thrown in the direction where the nin was standing. Looking in the direction of the person who had thrown the stars, Naruto saw Jakotsu with a look of pure hatred on his face. “Renkotu” he growled, “How dare you show your traitorous face.”

 

Renkotsu on the other hand remained impassive as he began to take out some kind of weird flask. Jumping in a nearby tree, Naruto observed the battle before him. Sesshomaru and that Kagura woman were engaged in a fierce battle, one that he never wanted to be caught in the middle of.

 

“I wonder what kind of past those two have.” Naruto wondered.

 

Jakotsu and the guy now known as Renkotsu were battling it out, as fire soon surrounded them. Shielding his face from the glowing embers, Naruto saw Inu Yasha fighting with the other nin who must have been Juromaru.

 

Fixing his hitai-ite, Naruto took off in the direction he hoped to find Kagome in. Running at high speed, Naruto soon came across Sango and Bankotsu fighting the Akatsuki, member Kisame.

 

Momentarily stopping, Naruto soon continued on his way knowing that, that was not his fight.

 

Kisame, catching sight of Naruto tried to get to him, only to be stopped by the shinobi with the halebred. Cursing him, Kisame focused all of his attentions on him.

 

Sango seeing Naruto stop by, pulled out of the fight, Bankotsu could handle Kisame on his own. Following Naruto, Sango was unprepared to face the sight she soon came upon. She knew one thing for sure, family was not supposed to act this way.

 

“Ka…Kagome, this can't be… yo… you're supposed to be dead.” Sasuke stuttered, finally out of reach from her and Itachi. “No, this has to be some sort of trick.”

“Do I look dead to you?” Kagome coolly replied.

 

“It seems you've finally awoken, Kagome.” Itachi stated slowly after he too had gotten out of her grasp.

 

“What do you mean you bastard?” Sasuke demanded, getting over his shock. “And how the hell is she here, she's not supposed to be here.”

 

Sending Sasuke a disbelieving look, it finally sunk in what he was saying, “They never told you what really happened, did they?” Kagome inquired, finally realizing why Sasuke was so shocked to see her.

 

“What do you mean by that?” Sasuke countered, confused. This could not be happening. His older sister who died nearly seven years ago could not be here right now talking to him. This had to be some kind of ploy to get him to return to Konoha.

 

“What exactly did father tell you what happened to me?”

 

“He… he told me that you were dead.” Sasuke whispered, slightly subdued.

 

“And you actually believed him.” Itachi asked skeptically. “Shows what you know.” He finished, glaring at Sasuke.

 

“Shut up Itachi!” Sasuke growled, “Besides what the hell was I supposed to believe, not too long after Kagome “supposedly” died you killed the whole clan!”

 

Popping his wrist back in place, Itachi made a move to charge at Sasuke only to be stopped once again by Kagome. This time she was blocking him from his intended target. “Move.”

 

“No. You two are the only family I have left and I am not going to let y'all kill each other.” Kagome firmly stated, ignoring both glares from Itachi and Sasuke.

 

“Who the hell are you to tell me what to do? I will kill that murderous bastard.” Sasuke glowered, moving from behind Kagome.

 

“As if you could, little brother. You don't even possess the mangeky sharigan.”

“Bastard!” Sasuke yelled, getting ready to do his chiodri attack, only to be thwarted once again by Kagome.

“Nobody is killing anybody.” Kagome stressed.

 

“Leave me the hell alone. I am an avenger and I will avenge my clan, since it seems you obviously don't care. You are no sister of mine. Kagome Uchiha is dead.” Sasuke stated, looking cold and apathetic as possible. Not caring as Kagome's face went from anger to anguish and then, finally settling on indifferent.

 

“Fine do what you want.” Kagome whispered her voice void of any emotion.

 

“You idiot!” Naruto yelled jumping down from the tree he was standing on, Sango being unable to stop him, not really wanting to. He had seen the whole thing, and yet he still couldn't believe what he just saw. Naruto knew Sasuke could be heartless, but this.

 

Growling, Naruto aimed a punch at Sasuke, who barely dodged his fist. “What the hell do you want dobe? I don't have time to deal with a pest like you.”

 

“Sasuke you've done some pretty low things, but that has got to be the lowest.” Naruto snarled. Why did bastards like Sasuke always have to have it all and throw it away like it was nothing?

 

“What do you know dobe? You don't have a clue about what's going on so don't you come here and try to lecture me you idiot.” Sasuke scowled.

 

“I'm an idiot?” Naruto questioned unbelievingly, “You have people in Konoha who still care about you and are willing to forgive you for being a traitor. And you have your sister here, who you've thought to be dead trying to help you and save you from yourself. And yet you willingly throw all that away. In spite of all that you still have the nerve to call me the idiot!”

 

Snarling, Sasuke was about to reply when, Orochimaru appeared along with Kabuto. “Well it seems the last of the Uchiha clan is here, along with the jinchuuriki brat.”

 

“You made a made mistake showing yourself here Orochimaru. You die today.” Kagome seethed, getting ready to fight.

 

“It seems that you've gotten things backwards my dear Uchiha. I am not the one out numbered.” He smirked, clearly believing that he had the upper hand.

 

“What are you talking about; there are four of us and only three of you!” Naruto yelled.

 

“On the contrary, there are twenty of us and more on the way.” Orochimaru gleamed, and just as he said this, twenty other unknown sound and cloud ninjas appeared, surrounding them.

 

“Itachi, let's leave.” Kisame said, appearing next to Itachi, looking rather worse for the wear.

 

Nodding his head, Itachi grabbed Kisame's sword, which he was barely able to carry, and left. But not without one last look towards Kagome.

 

“Damn it he got away.” Bankotsu cursed, showing up just as Itachi and Kisame left.

“What are we going to do?” Naruto asked, preparing to fight.

 

“I'll deal with Orochimaru, Sango you take Kabuto, and Bankotsu you're going to need to handle the lower nins.” Kagome ordered.

 

Nodding their heads, Sango and Bankotsu waited for the enemy to attack. Naruto on the other hand was peeved that Kagome left him out. “Hey Kagome, what about me!?”

 

“Naruto, I want you to deal with Sasuke. Do you think you can handle him?” Kagome inquired, looking from Orochimaru to Naruto.

 

Nodding his head yes, Naruto focused his attention on Sasuke. He didn't want to let Kagome down. In the last two years he had known her, she had been like an older sister to him. And Sasuke had said really pissed him off.

 

“Well look who's here. Now did y'all really think you can have a party without inviting me?” A cold, sinister voice boomed, seeming to come from all around them.

 

“Shit, Kagome we got to get out of here. You know we can't face him by ourselves.” Sango exclaimed, starting to get worried.

 

“What leaving so soon? But I just got here.” The cold voice chuckled, becoming louder.

 

“Naruto, Bankotsu, Sango, huddle up.” Kagome yelled, trying to think of an escape plan. If only Shippo and Hiten were here also, then they could use their jutsus together to make the perfect escape.

 

Before Kagome had a chance to start explaining what they were going to do, a thick mist fell on them. Using this to their advantage, Kagome told the others to make a clone.

 

Doing as she said, Sango, Naruto, and Bankotsu quickly fled, but not before Kagome had one last look back at Sasuke . Avoiding any confrontation with any of the other nins. Once they were safely a distance away, Kagome looked back to try and find the person who had created that mist.

 

Catching a glimpse of black and red, Kagome was about to go toward is when, Sango's said, as she tugged her arm “Come on Kagome, we need to regroup.” Turning towards her, Kagome reluctantly followed Sango and the others.

 

It seemed the three surviving Uchiha's were once again going their separates ways'.

 

 

“Who was that back there?” Naruto questioned once they had managed to find a safe hideout. Why did they decide to leave all of a sudden? Before they heard the sound of that voice they were going to fight, but once that guy had appeared, they high tailed it out of there.

 

“Sorry Naruto, but that's a story for another time. Right now we have to focus on regrouping.” Sango answered, taking a look around the cave they had found.

 

“We'll stay here for the night, and we'll set out first thing in the morning.” Kagome spoke, walking in the cave, dropping a pile of firewood in the center of the cave.

 

“Why can't you tell me?” Naruto whined, wanting to know more.

 

“Naruto be patient, we'll tell you another day.” Kagome replied, starting a fire.

 

“So what are we going to do tomorrow Kagome?” Bankotsu asked, going to sit next to the fire by Sango.

 

“Since we don't know where the others are, we'll head to the place where we first met. Sesshomaru told me that if we were to be separated to meet there.” Kagome replied, not looking at the other three, but at the fire. “And once we regroup, we'll tell who that was Naruto. Now y'all get some sleep, I'll take first guard duty.” Reluctantly they all agreed, and soon Bankotsu, Sango, and Naruto fell into a light slumber.

 

Casting one last glance over the sleeping form of Naruto, Kagome focused her gaze on the still blazing fire. “Happy birthday Itachi.” She whispered.

 

“Damn it Shippo, we need to hurry up.” Hiten snarled, casting another justsu on another cloud nin.

 

“I know Hiten.” Shippo snapped, frustrated al all the cloud and sound nins that kept attacking them.

 

“Hey Shippo, they're retreating.” Hiten pointed out after the nins they were fighting started to decrease in numbers.

 

“You're right, they are.” Shippo noted, going to stand next to Hiten. “Quick grab one and see if he talks.”

 

Acting swiftly, Hiten grabbed one of the slower nins. “Tell me, why are you guys retreating?”

 

Glaring, the sound nin, spat in Hiten's face. Looking murderous, Hiten proceeded to extract information out of him, ignoring Shippo in the background.

 

“Stupid, sound nin, shouldn't have spat in his face. Now he's paying the price.” Shippo muttered to himself. “Hey, don't kill him, we need him to talk.”

 

“Now tell me, why are y'all retreating?” Hiten interrogated, once he was sure the nin would start talking.

 

“Orochimaru just sent us a message to leave all of a sudden.” The nin wheezed, having trouble breathing.

 

“Why?” Shippo questioned, joining in.

 

“I'm… I'm not sure, but I know for a fact that the only reason we would retreat like this was because things did now go in Orochimaru's favor.” The sound nin finished, hoping that they would spare him.

 

“Come on, we have to find out what happened. Let's go find the others.” Hiten spoke, already taking off. Nodding his head, Shippo followed Hiten, neither were really sure which way to go.

 

Coming to a quick stop, Hiten came upon Sesshomaru's battle with Kagura. Before they could make their presence known, Kagura suddenly called out to Juromaru and Renkotsu to retreat. Before Sesshomaru could stop them, they were gone.

 

Growling, Sesshomaru sheathed his sword, and turned towards the others. Not bothering to wait for him to speak, InuYasha spoke, “Why did they retreat?”

 

“It seems they've failed in their goal. We should go search for Kagome and the others.” Shippo spoke up, making his and Hiten's presence known.

 

Nodding his head, Sesshomaru was about to say something when he suddenly heard a noise. About to draw his sword again, Itachi suddenly appeared before them.

 

“Kagome and the others are safe. I overheard her saying something about heading towards the place you guys first met.” Itachi said his voice void of any emotion.

 

Tossing Sesshomaru a small, poorly wrapped item, “Give this to her for me.” And with that he was gone.

 

“Come, let's go find a place to camp out and we'll set out tomorrow.” Sesshomaru stated, pocketing Itachi's item in his pocket.

 

“Why should we listen to him? He works for the Akatsuki and he's after Naruto. Why should we take his word?” Inu Yasha argued.

 

“That may be so InuYasha, but he is also Kagome's brother. I sensed no lie from him.” Sesshomaru replied.

 

Grumbling, InuYasha followed Sesshomaru with Shippo helping support an injured Jakotsu.

 

-

 

 

“Just who are you exactly.” Orochimaru hissed, not liking the newcomer, who he blamed for the Uchiha's escape.

 

“You will have you answers all in do time, Orochimaru. But now I have something much more important that you'd like to hear than my name.” He smirked.
