"Naruto a stitch in time" *Re-edited by SasukeUchiha thanks you so much!*

Evil is Near! Vistors apppear!

[Exclamier: I dont not own Naruto or any other anime charaters wrote about here.]

[I just wrote it for fun as a what if. So if its good I dunno its for you to decide]

~Timeline:After Naruto's trip to country of wave, after the Kyoto arc In Ruruoni Kneshin.~

An evil presence lurks near the leaf village.

Kakashi senses something is wrong. Him and some other people go to the Hokage about it.

Just then the ground shakes all around everyone in leaf village and surrounding countries.

A bright light bursts thru the sky then disappears.

Naruto: Wow Wow did you see that Iruka-sensi?

Iruka: Yes. *sighs* This doesn't look good.

Ninja 1: Hokage-sama are you ok?

Hokage: Yes

Ninja 2: Everything seems to be in order and no one is hurt.

Hokage: Yes, that's good but I have a feeling something worse has happened.

Kakashi: We should all go check it out.

Hokage: Thats a good idea. Everyone spread out and check back in two hours.

All: Hai!

*Sakura runs up to Kakashi*

Sakura: Kakashi whats going on?

Kakashi: We're not sure. It doesn't look good, so we're gonna check it out.

Sakura: Can I help?

Kakashi: Well I dunno...

Naruto: Hey, don't forget about me.

Naruto: We're a team. We should be together to help.

Kakashi: Well I guess it wouldn't hurt. Just be on alert.

Kakashi: Are you coming too, Sasuke?

*Sasuke nods his head*

=================================================================================

Shippo: Miroku what are you doing?

Miroku: Shh, I'm following Inuyasha and Kagome.

Miroku: I gave up a good shard so I could get them together.

Miroku: I threw it over there. They should be able to find it now.

Shippo: But why, do you want them to be alone?

Miroku: You wont be able to understand until you're older.

Shippo: HEY! Why can't I know! Now that's no fair!

Miroku: Shhh, there they are.

*Inuyasha's ears perk up*

Kagome: Do you hear something?

Inuyasha: Yes, and I can smell the perverted monk near by.

*Miroku and Shippo backs away, by hiding behind a tree.

Inyusaha: IT'S NO USE I ALREADY KNOW Y'ALL ARE OUT THERE!

Miroku: *gulp* We mustn't get caught spying!

Shippo: WE?! I'M outta of here. *Shippo runs away fast*

Miroku: Coward. Maybe Inuyasha was just bluffing.

Inuyasha: You know I have super good hearing! I heard that!

*Inuyasha throws a rock at Miroku and hits smack in the middle on his head*

*bonk*

Miroku: Ow! The price you pay to see love develop... But it was well worth it.

Kagome: Inuyasha...

Inuyasha: Lets go. We don't have time to mess with the likes of him.

Miroku: The likes of....oooohh I could.. Wait I must calm myself, must remember my training.

Kagome: Over there I'm sure I sense the shard!

Inuyasha: Ah I can see it.

*Just then a bright light spreads around Inuyasha and Kagome and they disappear*

Miroku: What the.... It looks as if a big door cut thru the sky and ground.

Miroku: What's going on? Oh No they're gone. I must tell the others and find a way to bring them back!

Sanosuke: So what do you say Kenshin?

Kenshin: Well I dunno...

Sanosuke: Good then we can count you buying us dinner at the Akeabeko.

Sanosuke: Your a good pal.

Kenshin: *Sigh* Sano I never..

Kaoru: Thats so sweet of you treating us Kenshin.

Kenshin: Ugh doesn't anyone listen.

Sanosuke: Your not backing down on your promise are you?

Sanosuke: Well I can't have you do that. *wink*

Kenshin: Hey whats that in your hand? Is that my...

Sanosuke: Yep your change purse. I'll be carrying it up there so you can't back down.

Kenshin: Fine.. its not like i had that much money anyway. Hmph.

Kaoru: Sano, why don't you and the others go ahead I want to talk to Kenshin.

Sanosuke: Whatever you say missy. Just better get there fast you know how Yahiko eats.

Yahiko: Hey! Thats not funny Sano!

Sanosuke: Oh? What are you going to do, shrimp?

Yahiko: I'm not a shrimp.

Kaoru: Its nice to see everything as it was before.

Kenshin: Yes its very nice, that it surely is.

Kenshin: You had something you wanted to talk to me about.

Kaoru: Yes it kinda more of a request.

Kenshin: I see. And that is?

Kaoru: You just got back, so I was wondering if you wouldn't fight for awhile 'til you have finished healing?

Kenshin: Though I rather not fight right now. If it presents itself I will have to.

Kenshin: But don't be worried, I'm healing fast.

Kaoru: There's something else I want to tell you. *Kaoru face turns red*

Kenshin: *Gulp* Yes...? (Miss Kaoru has a real weird look on her face.)

Kaoru: I....

*BOOM * Bursts of light light up the street.

Kenshin: What was that? *Kenshin runs to check it out*

Kaoru: Wait.....

*They approach the light then disappear*

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto: Crap crap! I lost my group.

*Looks around fast*

Naruto: Who's there? Come on show yourself.

*Someone stands behind Naruto's back*

Naruto: *Gulp*

Iruka: NARUTO...

*Naruto jumps*

Naruto: Iruka-sensi that wasn't really funny. You scared me.

Iruka: Just keeping you on your toes. What happened to your group?

Naruto: Well I.... sorta lost them.

Iruka: Hmph. Ok, well then stick by me and we will search together.

Naruto: Ok !

Naruto: I hear something over there.

Iruka: *Talks silently* Keep close to me. We'll approach in 1....2..

*A little distance away*

Inuyasha: Are you ok Kagome?

Kagome: Yes... but what happened? Where are we?

Inuyasha: I don't know but it doesn't smell right. Nothing is familiar.

Inuyasha: Speaking of things not smelling right, I smell a demon.

Inuyasha: He seems really strong so stay close to me.

Kagome: *Grabs hold of Inuyasha's shirt* No problem.
