How will I know if a kitten has rabies?

probably.

depends if the kitten had rabies..and did the bite even penetrate your skin?

The skin must be broken to contract rabies. You're okay. Kittens aren't too like to have it anyway.

Rabies is a viral encephalitis transmitted by the saliva of infected bats and certain infected mammals. Symptoms include depression and fever, followed by agitation, excessive salivation, and hydrophobia. Diagnosis is by serologic tests or biopsy. Vaccination is indicated for people at high risk of exposure. Postexposure prophylaxis involves wound care and passive and active immunoprophylaxis. The disorder is almost universally fatal. Treatment is supportive.
If the kitten dies within 10 days, then you should take anti-rabic treatment.
