-Chapter 5-

"Not Just Like That"

-Love and ANBU-

-Dark Ice Kitsune-

"I still don't buy it." Kakashi growled out as he stepped right in front of Kagome, "How do we know you aren't just trying to hurt us again?"

"I know nothing I say will ever amend for what I have done, but know that I did do it all for Sasuke and Kagome." Itachi pleaded.

"You aren't going to be forgiven just like that." Kagome cried as she turned from the scene in front of her and jumped into a tree branch higher than anybody could see.

"I think we should return to the village and let him talk to Tsunade-sama." Naruto sighed, like he really want Itachi around the village, let alone Kagome. Oh if he did anything more to make her sadder than she was he'd kill him, with the help of the 9 tail of course.

"I suppose that couldn't hurt anything, but I must insist that you hand over all of your weapons willing and be cuffed and accompanied by three ANBU captions, that is not Kagome." Kakashi stated simply as he shot a nasty look at Itachi.

"It's all a plot for them to take over the village and than we'll all be dead!!!" Sakura screamed as she walked into the clearing with tears in her eyes, "Itachi, Sasuke why can't you guys see that she's nothing more than a power hungry bitch that wants to destroy all life?!" Everybody was sure that she would have kept going on if it hadn't been for Kagome jumping down from her tree branch, landing right in front of Sakura she slapped her right in the face and before the shock wear off she balled her fist and punched her as hard as she could, without killing the Kunoichi, sending her flying backwards, but with his super speed, Kakashi caught her before she hit the rock she was flying towards, which most likely saved her life.

"KAGOME!!!" He shouted out in disapproval of her behavior, "That was completely uncalled for!"

"Bullshit, I've had more than enough of her dising me because I loved Itachi even after he did what he did, and now she's just pissed off that I love Sasuke and he loves me back! It's not my fault she doesn't know when to keep her big mouth shut. But I'm more than sure she's learn her lesson now."

"Kagome?" Naruto asked with caution as he stepped up beside her, "It's okay Kagome, calm down and let's head back to village. We can leave Itachi and Sakura to Kakashi-Sensei and Sasuke." He said softly as he led her away from everybody else and towards the village, but not without shooting a look of pure hate towards Sakura.

The look on Naruto's face made Sakura double step back, crying she yelled, "You'll all see, I'm right and when she tries to kill you all don't come running to me!!" She than took off to god only knows where.

"Sasuke, since we don't know what Naruto is going to do with Kagome or what Sakura ran off to do, I want you to return to the village, inform Tsunade-Sama what is going on and get me three ANBU Captions while I stay here with Itachi." Kakashi instructed his remaining student.

"Hai." Sasuke shot one glance at Itachi and was gone.

------

"Kagome?" Naruto asked lightly as they walked back towards the village, "About what you said back there, do you really love Sasuke?"

"It's really hard for me to tell right now Naruto, I know I do love him, but I still hold some strong feelings for Itachi too. I know it's all wrong, and that they are brothers that hate each other, but I just don't know. I do know however that if Itachi doesn't give me back my body than I can't be with either of them." She laughed, "And it's okay now, you don't have to be so scared around me."

"I know, I just don't want to piss you off like Sakura did." Naruto sighed.

"Oh you could never!" Kagome cried out as she hugged him around the waist, "You've always made me happy and feel comfortable, her on the other hand has always said stuff, mean stuff, behind my back."

"What do you think of what has happened?" Naruto asked after a while of silence.

"I don't know. I really do want to believe him, but there's so much pain that he has caused and I just don't know if I could ever forgive him."

"But if you could, could you love him again?"

"I honestly don't know at this point." Kagome sighed and hung her head, "I want so badly to be with Sasuke."

The rest of the walk was in silence as they each thought about what Tsunade would do to Itachi.

------

"Are you sure Kakashi?" Tsunade asked as soon as the ANBU had taken Itachi to stay in a hotel room. Of course they be guarding it all night long.

"I'm not too sure, I mean if he wanted to declare war on the village or something like that, he'd have to have the rest of the Akatsuki to help. And if he wanted to take Kagome away he could easily do that in the dead of night. So I'm not sure at all if he has something up his sleeve or if this is in fact the truth."

"Same here. I want you to keep an extra eye on both Sasuke and Kagome while we come to verdict on what Itachi has informed us. Of course it'll be really hard to question anybody else on the matter since the whole clan is dead. I don't know what we are going to do with this one." Tsunade sighed as she placed her head in her hands.

-----

"Kagome?" Sasuke whispered as he looked around her room, it was late, that he knew but he had to see her, talk to her.

"She's not here." Kakashi growled as he stepped into his 'daughters' room clan only in his boxers and mask.

"Where is she?" Sasuke asked as he straighten.

"She wanted to spend the night at Naruto's, something about needing to cook him a real dinner that didn't include Ramen." Kakashi yawned, "And before you say anything, yes I know Itachi is in the village, but he won't do anything." Kakashi stated as he turned to walk back to his bedroom.

"How can you be so sure, what if this was his plan all along?!" Sasuke began to panic.

"We have ANBU watching him very very closely and we have Kagome with Naruto and Kurenai."

"Kurenai-Sensei?" Sasuke questioned.

"Yeah, when Kagome first woke up, she took a liking to Kurenai, afterwards, Kurenai taught her some nin skills but basically they really hung out more like sisters would." Kakashi explained and than shut his door, leaving Sasuke to his own thoughts.

'Kurenai-Sensei, huh?' He thought as he jumped down from the window and ran to where he knew Naruto's apartment was.

---

"So what was wrong with Ramen?" Naruto asked as he watched Kagome tear the kitchen up by making food. . .that wasn't ramen.

"You need more variety in your diet." Kagome sighed, this was like the 20th time she was explaining this to him.

"There's plenty of variety in the flavors of Ramen." Naruto insisted, they had been going in circles with the argument for the past hour.

-End of Chapter 5-

**So tell me what you think. . .I'm really thinking about having a couple of chapters where Kagome is completely depressed and shows just how powerful she really even in the body of a 7 year old. LOL Though I'm not sure. . .let me know your thoughts!! Much Love
