Naruto Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Roots In My Soul ❯ The First Rock: Yellow ( Chapter 2 )

A/N:It is so hard trying to find out where to start this chapter. Worst writer's block that I've ever had. I already have how I want the rest of the chapter to go but the beginning was completely lost to me. This story is really different because most of the Inuyasha crew won't be there, because, well, their dead. And also it takes place on only one side of the well. But the stories a lot fresher than any other I've ever written. For one thing, it has no angst, not including the death of Sango, Miroku, and Kilala, and my sister's giving me some ideas. That's why this is a different account than my other one, Addicted-To-Books (ff.net) or Kagome4Hiei (mm.org). Check out those stories. Most of them are hilarious. (grin)Well, I just got this request that I should add something different to the pairings I chose. So I did. Kagome and Sasuke are still going to be the main paring, though and Sakura is staying with the oc. I know that many people don't like oc's but my oc's aren't going to die unless I want them to. And some minor character's may die, maybe even a major character, too. And, quote me here, I said they may. I have two oc's in this fic and I'll try to keep it that way. Their each very crucial to the You'll see why as the story progresses.And I also want to say that Kagome might seem oc to you but she's not. I'm doing the manga adaptation of her and it's somewhat different from the anime. In the manga she's more of a teen then in the ameaning she says things that fifth teen year old girls are supposed to. Not that Kagome's normal or anything...And to Spiritwolf30, Naruto won't be with Hinata but he won't be with Sango either. Unfortunately, Sango died in the Final Battle and I won't suddenly revive her. I promise, though, that you'll like who I put Naruto with. Not everyone is getting paired up in this story, so don't hold any expectations for everyone. But still, everyone is given a chance and opened up for possibilities. Even Ino has a shot of love in this story...Sasuke/Kagome, mystery pairingsShe was done with magic and everything that came with it; but magic was obvious that it wasn't done with her.

This...this that she was on was surely going to be the death of her, she could feel it. Nothing was going to save her from it at all. Tears sprung to her eyes but she tried desperately holding back, knowing that the others would immediately notice if she started crying. But she was losing the battle as the beast she was riding lurched to a stop and almost flung her forward.Now arriving in Tokyo, Japan!"sighed in relief as the train came to a stop, finally lifting her eyes from their position on her feet. Who she saw was Naruto, who was giving her a weird look. She gave him a shy smile and averted her gaze away from his blue eyes. He shrugged before shooting up from his seat, giving everyone in the vicinity a wide smile. Everyone ignored him, as per usual, but Naruto was not to be ignored. He ran up to Kakashi and gave him a questioning look." Where are we going now, Kakashi-sensei?"The copy-ninja closed his eyes in a deep sigh before looking at Naruto. " We have to visit the home we will be staying in. Tsunade already has it available for us, all we have to do is move in." His voice turned serious as he gazed at his student. " She has stationed us at the location of the power sighting. Don't let anything go to your head, Naruto. We are not familiar with the main lands." Naruto nodded, his eyes serious as well. He turned to door, seeing as the other Konoha ninja's were moving towards it, and jumped off the train in earnest. The sun beat down on his face uncomfortably and he covered his eyes in an attempt to keep the sun away from them. It was hot, he realized, and his orange didn't help any." Where do we go from here?", Ino's voice said. She was looking at the sky, her blonde hair falling down her back. She was well aware of the stares that they were receiving but she couldn't care less; she was here to do a mission, plain and simple. Her hand reached down to tug her clothes as the heat bore down on her. It was hot, she decided, to hot to where the clothes that they all had on. And it was their clothes that was probably attracting so much attention. She sneered at a girl who pointed at them as they walked past before rolling her eyes as the same girl ogled Sasuke. swear, some people have no morals.'" We're going to Sunset drive," Iruka said, looking at the papers in his hand. " The hokage said that we're to investigate the park at the end of the street."Ino nodded her head in understanding. " Uh, how do we get there?"" She's sending a former ninja's wife to pick us up. She goes by the name of Higurashi Nyoko and she, fortunately, lives on Sunset Drive as well. On a shrine, in fact." As if summoned, a woman tapped Iruka's hand. He turned, surprised, but she smiled in greeting." From Konohagakure?" At his nod her smile grew. " I'm Nyoko, Shiro's wife, it's nice to meet you." She looked them all over, as if calculating, before nodding. " I think my car should fit all of us, even with Souta in there. Alright, let's go." She walked towards a green van, everyone following behind her, and slid the door open easily. " Souta," she called. A young boys head popped out, his eyes looking briefly at the group before settling on his mother." Yea, okaa-san?"She smiled at her son. " Can you open the back? I think half of them are going to have to sit back there, including you. Or would you rather have me call Kagome to come meet us here in the other car. She promised me she would take them to the mall anyway."Souta nodded vigorously, his brown eyes lighting up instantaneously. " Yea, she can take me to that new video game store they just opened up. I already called her, though. She's on her way." He beamed as his mother smiled at him in gratitude. The ninja's watched the scene with raised eyebrows. Had they completely forgotten about them?As if sensing their thoughts, Nyoko turned towards the group of ninja's. " Well, I guess that I'll take half of you. My daughter, Kagome, can take the other half and meet me at the mall. I can guess how hot you all must being those clothes. Shiro always complained about it..." Her voice trailed off but then she quickly shook herself out of her memories and furrowed her eyebrows at the group. " Alright, who's going with me?"She only received noncommittal shrugs before Kakashi decided to speak. " Iruka, Sakura, Ino, ChoShikamaru, Kiba, and Shino can go with Higurashi-san. I'll go with the rest of them in her daughter's car." He looked down at Souta." I take it you want to go with your sister?" All he received was a nod as the ten-year old jumped out of the car. " We'll wait here for your daughter, Higurashi-san." She smiled at him." Okay, Kagome should be here soon. I'll just meet you at the mall. And, oh, I forgot to introduce you ."Iruka took over. " I'm Iruka," he said pleasantly." Sakura, pleased to meet you, " a girl with pink hair said with a bow." Um...Hinata...my name is Hinata."" Uzumaki Naruto! " Nyoko laughed at his enthusiasm. It reminded her of Shiro." Shikamaru," said boy murmured." Kakashi."" Sasuke," Sasuke grunted.Cholooked up at her from his munching of his chips. " I'm ChoKiba gave her a cocky grin. "I'm Kiba and this is my dog Akamaru." He glanced at Shino before saying, "This is Shino. He talk much."
" And my name is Ino," she said with a smile. " Thanks for helping us."Nyoko laughed. " It's no problem. It's the least I can do for my old village." She hid her smile behind her hand as the half of the group widened their eyes. But she didn't give them time to question her as she them into the car. " Come now, we have to go." As soon as the passengers of her car were safely buckled up she drove off leaving the others by the side of the road." Well," Kakashi said, " that was interesting."" Kagome's here," Souta said excitedly, pointing at a black jeep. " Come on. Let's go." They shrugged and followed him across the street to where the door to the driver's side was opening. A girl about their age stepped out, her blue eyes lighting up as they landed on her brother's grinning form. She was pretty, her unusual blue eyes and blue-black different for this part of the country. Her tan shorts and brown and white layered shirt seemed appropriate for the weather and they were reminded of just how hot they were." Hey, runt," Kagome said affectionately . "Okaa-san left me to take care of you, huh?" The boy nodded his head before frowning as his older sister ruffled his hair playfully. She looked up at the remaining ninjas with curiosity clouding her eyes, a smile flirting on her lips. " I'm Kagome," she said, " And welcome to Tokyo."_________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ _" Okay, so I'll take the boys and you take the girls and Souta." Kagome nodded at her mother's words, drumming her hands against CD player, as the music filled her ears. It somewhat blocked out the humming in the back of her mind, alerting her to the fact that her powers were scanning the people in front of her. She was used to it, her powers reacted on their own accord, and though it was frustrating not being in control of that amount of power she supposed she had to live with it. As the harsh sounds of an American band she liked, Papa Roach, sounded on her head, she turned to the ninjas." My names Kagome," she said to the two girls that didn't know her, " and you'll be going shopping with me today! "Sakura giggled. " I'm Sakura and this is Ino-pig." Ino nodded at Kagome in greeting before glaring at Sakura. They honestly didn't know what to expect of the Higurashi's oldest daughter but she wasn't bad so far. And she didn't even try to take their Sasuke. She hardly paid attention to him really. Then realization hit her hard and she turned suspicious green eyes on their hostess. " Are you playing hard to get to win Sasuke's heart?"Kagome raised an eyebrow, something she'd seen Sesshoumaru do a few times. " Which one's Sasuke? The blonde one who talks a lot or the pretty-boy who doesn’t talk at all?"This time Sakura and Ino were the one's to raise their eyebrows. Ino finally answered. " The one who doesn’t talk at all. His name's Sasuke. And the other one is Naruto."Kagome shook her head. " Oh, no. You girls don't have to worry about me. He reminds me of an asshole I once knew." She was, of course, referring to Sesshoumaru but his name alone brought memories of Inuyasha to the surface. She winced inwardly but the Goshinboku washed over her soul in a soothing manner. She instantly relaxed." Sasuke's not an asshole," Sakura said, though she wasn't really offended. " He's just misunderstood."" Misunderstood, my ass," Kagome muttered lowly, " But, whatever, happens to the worst of us." Despite herself, Hinata laughed, shocking both Sakura and Ino. She immediately stopped, looking both ashamed and embarrassed and blushed red." You...you didn't get it?"Sakura nodded. " I did, Hinata, I just never heard you laugh, before. You should do it more often." Kagome turned to her with a smile." Yea, and I'm proud to say that it was all on me." The girls giggled and Souta frowned." Hey, Kagome, okaa-san said I can go to that new store. It's right over there. Can I go now?"Kagome nodded and watched as her younger brother sped off and ran into a brightly lit store. She sighed and turned to the girls behind her. " Alright, girls. I have a credit card, so...I guess were going shopping." They all smiled at her and she went into the first store that seemed to appeal to them, only to come back out with three shopping bags. The next store they came out with even more, dragging Kagome into and out of several others. She finally loosened up enough to join them in their shopping frenzy, even buying some clothes at some of the stores. It was fun, she had to admit, she was really having fun. The first time since she came back from the Feudal Era but it wasn't bound to last.By the time they were done the three chunins were fully clothed in what Kagome called ' appropriate ' after she had looked at Ino's outfit. Hinata was wearing a pair of tan cargo capri’s and a red and brown layered tank top. Kagome persuaded her not to put on her sweater. Ino had chosen to where a light blue jeans skirt and an orange t-shirt. Sakura, who Kagome had the most fun shopping for she was the most girly, wore a green button-down short sleeve shirt and a pale pink skirt ( she absolutely refused to have it in the black, which everyone agreed looked better). Kagome stood back and watched them, a proud smile on her face." This," she began, grinning widely, " is my best work, yet!"Sakura looked at her in confusion. " What? "Kagome shrugged. " Sorry. Random moment. Hey...who wants icecream. I'm hungry." Before they could answer, she had already walked off and the girls were forced to run after her. They changed their mind. They didn't think Kagome was okay...she was great.__________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________Okay, it's been awhile since I updated and the reviews are really positive for this fic. I really appreciate it, I like writing Naruto/Inuyasha stories. You'll learn more about Leiko in the next chapter but the thing with Kagome's mother and father...well...you'll have to wait and see with that one. Ja Ne!
