Dealings With Death Gods

VI

"Kagome, I have someone that is willing to testify that they heard that you say that you wished to...ah...well its just easier to quote it. 'I wish to disembowel you, Sakura Haruno and dance on your grave, resurrect you and have a BLEEP fuck you with a BLEEP to death, resurrect you again and BLEEP you with a BLEEP and then BLEEP-"

The black haired woman cut Tsunade off with a raised hand, smirking in an amused manner as she leaned her weight onto her right leg.

"To what charges have I been called here, Hokage-san?" her red-brown eyes stared at her challengingly, making the elder woman shiver.

"You nearly bludgeoned my apprentice to death with her own fist!" the blond roared in anger.

"She simply couldn't stop hitting herself. I don't know why you called me here," Kagome chuckled, her small, petite hand coming to cover her cheek in bewilderment.

"I think the worst part about all of this, Kagome, is that you could actually do it!" Tsunade growled, slamming her fist onto her desk, causing it to shudder and rock under the blow.

"Idle threats are nothing to be concerned of, Hokage-san," the smaller woman waved her hand, before turning on her heal, and heading towards the door.

"You were allowed into Konoha on a condition, necromancer. Need I remind you? Or should I have you arrested for attempted murder of my apprentice?" Tsunade snarled, only to yip like a startled dog and jump back as the other woman appeared before her suddenly.

"I should point out, that if it were to become such a case, I would improve on it drastically. Attempted murder sounds so...unprofessional, don't you think? I believe, 'genocide' would be a much better reason for being arrested. And need I remind you, should I wish to kill Sakura Haruno, I would have done so," Kagome stared at the pale woman before her, and reached out her hand to caress the side of the young face.

"I remember our contract, Tsunade. Your precious Dan will be in your chamber by nightfall," she let her hand fall away and headed to the door once more, before pausing before it.

"What else is there?" Tsunade croaked, glaring at the young woman balefully.

"How is it that you know I haven't already killed the little trollop and resurrected her?" with this, the ex-miko disappeared, leaving a suddenly cold woman in her office.

"You were called to the Hokage."

Kagome sighed as she stepped through the door to her home. She glanced dryly at the male, and sneered.

"Good to be home, thank you," she murmured, heading towards the kitchen while he trailed behind her slowly.

"I heard you beat Sakura into a pulp."

"That would be an understatement," the necromancer smirked as she pulled the milk from the fridge.

"Is that why you were called?"

Kagome huffed and turned to face the blue haired male before her, eyes narrowed.

"No. It was because I threatened her. Now leave me be Sasuke," she growled, only for him to level her
with a nasty glare.

"This is my house!" he snarled, body posture threatening serious harm if she didn't submit.

"And that is your brother," she pointed behind him, where Itachi stood, frowning down at the younger ninja.

"You will treat her with respect," the assassin said in a bored voice, before making his way over to the female, wrapping his arms around her slender figure gently.

"Traitor," Sasuke muttered.

"Child," Itachi scoffed back, nuzzling into the side of Kagome's neck.

The female smiled and put her hand on the Uchiha's cheek, who turned his face down towards her, waiting.

"You are hungry?" she asked, and he nodded slowly.

She stretched up the short distance and pressed her lips to his, making him breath a sigh of relief as he felt a small bit of her soul slip down his throat. She pulled back slowly, and he let out a strangled whimper of distress as he stared at her with wide eyes.

"Later," she promised, pulling back and heading for the door.

"You have him addicted to you. He acts like a puppy," Sasuke murmured, and she shrugged.

"You wanted your brother back. You have him. Be grateful, little boy," she sneered, shrugging into a coat.

"Where are you going so late?" the troubled youth asked curiously as he watched Itachi follow after her automatically.

"The cemetery. I have a raising to do," Kagome gave him a small smile, before slipping into the night with his brother.

A Moment Lost In Time: Feeding Arrangements

Kagome's eyes stared into the camp fire contemplatively as she inched away from Itachi's penetrating gaze. The male shifted closer to her as she moved, and she fought the shiver that crept up her spine when he leaned even closer.

"He looks very alive," Sasuke said from the other side of the fire, watching the two interact with amusement.

"And he will stay that way, so long as he feeds," she said, grateful for the distraction as she turned to watch the emotions play across the Uchiha's face.

"Feed? He's not going to start running around mauling people, is he?" disdain was plain on his face, making her laugh.

"No! He'll need souls to sustain this form. His body doesn't run on Chakra anymore, but his soul, so he can't use any of your ninja techniques unless he wants to die...again," she commented, making the boy stiffen.

"So he has to kill people?" this obviously didn't settle well with him.

"At first, maybe. But the longer he stays alive, the more experience he will get at it, and he'll be able to take bits of it, rather than the whole thing. Kind of like a cup of tea. Small sips, rather than gulps," she explained, only to jump out of her skin when the long haired male wrapped his arms around her.

"I will take nobody's soul but yours," the black eyed man stared down at her expectantly.

"You cannot have mine!" she snapped, but Itachi only smirked at her knowingly.
