It was the way she looked at him that day, it was those eyes. Those eyes weren't like his though he was gone through the death of his entire clan those eyes weren't like his, those eyes weren't even close to his. They exceeded the look of Naruto's and that look he saw were even worse than that of Gaara's eyes. Her eyes, those were the eyes that surpass neglecting, inter turmoil, and blood lust they were just…dark. They made him scared, he couldn't move as he stood knee length in the water his kunai in hand and this girl laying in the water before him looking up at her with those hateful eyes narrowed and stone cold, her hair scattered over her face and curving onto her lips as hoarse breathing seemed to escape then draw into them.

As he stood there too memorized by her eyes he didn't notice the cold water splash against his face and then a cold metal blade press against his neck. She narrowed her eyes to him shaking slightly, she was quivering yet her eyes didn't falter as she voiced strenuously, "on your knees."

He looked to her carefully as suddenly Naruto called out, "Sasuke!"

He was whispering for Naruto to stay back and warn him that this girl was ready for him; he'd die if he fought her yet all he could do was drop to his knees the gravel under the thrashing waters cutting against his knees. He girl was taking deep breaths now her hands stopped shaking yet her eyes remained halfway open and her hair remained pressed against her flesh due to the dampness. Her clothes were soaked and pressed against her flesh complimenting her petite form. Just then but only she a second her gave drifted off him to the five Naruto clones running at her with a kunai. With a flick of her wrist she diverted all of the attacks of the kunais sending him flying but her chest lifted and then dropped as she turned her attention to him, he felt himself turn to stone at her gaze my hand flinched against the kunai in my hand but it dropped unconsciously, "who are you?"

His voice quivered as his eyebrows furrowed confused by the sound of his own voice. Her lips parted to speak yet she turned her hair smacking against her face the beads of water slapping him while the sound of Sakura's voice vexed him to claw at this maiden before him. What was he feeling here? Was he attracted to this girl simply by appearances and the wildness in her eyes that tamed wild look? Before he could continue Sakura was by his side while Naruto wadded into the water after the girl who jumped back so easily her eyes still on him as if she was bragging to him of her knowledge of the scenery, his eyes never left hers and disappeared into the mirage of trees and bushes.

Sakura shook him as he turned his head quickly, "Sakura?"

Naruto turned, "what was that! You froze up!"

He was still quivering as he looked to his hands; blood ran down his palm, he hadn't noticed it. His grip on the kunai had drawn blood but he didn't feel it but as he watched the water and his blood trickle down the stream he saw it again, he saw her face that stern look of hatred and detest staring at him while she held a blade to his neck and he held a kunai in his hand. He lurched over into the water blood vomited from his mouth causing Sakura to call to him and Naruto jumped to his side in caution yet defend his pride by not touching him. He looked up to the path she had disappeared and jumped to his feet brushing them off and running after her Naruto and Sakura at his sides confused by his behavior, Kakashi was late as usual to the place he told them to meet but as usual he wasn't there and they had found a girl with blood on her and bleeding herself holding a rusty old blade in the water.

Everything after that was history. Sakura's voiced echoed through his head stopping his train of thought, "who was this girl!"

Naruto snapped, "Who cares! Let's just take her down!"

Just then Kakashi's voice caused them to jump as he asked, "Who pray tell would you be speaking of?"

They turned their head seeing Kakashi standing there a smug look on his face as he held the girl by the back of her arms before them. Her hands tied and her sword in his other hand. The girl seemed to be unconscious yet she was wounded even worse and Kakashi himself looked a little bruised as he set her down gently yet she tilted to the side falling to the ground. Naruto jumped, "it's her!"

Kakashi itched his face slowly pointing out, "I saw her and well one thing led to another, I think we should most likely bring her back, now come on."

Sasuke stopped his mouth twitched as he saw her, her eyes fluttered open while the girl jumped her leg suddenly planted against Kakashi's face shocking everyone. She kicked up the sword as Kakashi spun his leg against hers, she would have fallen if not she used the sword as her standing tool flipping and running with a sword held by the hands behind her back. She jumped so her legs scooped under her and back in front. She turned when suddenly Kakashi appeared in front of her. The girl growled while he grabbed at her spinning and throwing her into the water once again. There was a loud splash as Sakura jumped, "Kakashi-sensei don't you think that, that was a little extreme!"

Sasuke moved foreword as everything went to a calm. Naruto jumped swallowing hard, "is she dead?"

Sasuke gritted his teeth muttering, "No…"

Suddenly they saw the rope around her lift to the top of the water and slowly make its way over the falls. Kakashi bent himself his hand in the pouch of his back whispering, "where is she?"

There was a trail of water and a heavy breathing from above allowing them to raise there head. She was on top of the branch crouched and the sword before her body one hand on the sheath and the other on the handle. Sasuke asked suddenly irritated to the point of no return, "who are you!"

She took a deep breath the water dripping repeatedly down from her body. She jumped down from the branches the sound of the hilt and the sheath meeting drawing their eyes. She jumped down walking towards them. She threw the swords towards them at an alarming rate yet Kakashi caught it easily while she appeared in front of them the dirt on her face apparent and the reckless strands of hair mixed in different directions annoying.

Everyone stood on guard yet she lifted her arms towards him her eyes strained and grey but an internal battle shown. She voiced hoarsely, "go ahead and do what you want."

They jumped in surprise yet Kakashi didn't need another word as he wrapped her arms up tying her in the back. She wore a slated look her head downward a bit yet her eyes staring up and straight foreword. Her lips remained parted as she stated, "I'll make this clear, and I'm doing this for a reason."

They eyed her carefully as Naruto pulled out his kunai in case. Sasuke gritted his teeth at her coward like behavior snapping, "Who are you?"

She turned to him as Kakashi scowled tightening the ropes noticeably yet she made no appearance of noticing, "You're about their age how is this? That look…"

She didn't answer as he tightened it further, she spoke coolly and intimidatingly, "Kagome, my name is Kagome."

There was a chilling air as she threw her head up the water splashing once again. Kakashi pushed her foreword as he led her with a rope. She continued feeling them glance to her. He seemed frightened by this girl what he had gone to her. Was it a blood line trait? What was she, who was she? A name didn't seem to fit what she was, this thing.

Kakashi turned to him in caution while Naruto scowled to the girl walking farther away. She seemed to falter in every step yet her eyes never faltered almost as if to sustain her own pride. She narrowed her eyes as Sakura stared at her, "what?"

She jumped turning away suddenly while Kakashi glanced back to her then turned back the sword still in his other hand.
