Chapter 5
The Joke to end all Jokes!

The group walked along for a while. Conversations could be heard among them. Sango asking Sakura about her village and her fighting techniques. Sakura explained all about different techniques, about other ninjas with special abilities. She didn't think telling them about herself and her village would prose any type of problems being that she is from another time and country. Sakura thought about her friends and wondered what they are doing. She's been gone for about 4 weeks now. She wondered if they are looking for her. "I bet the Hokage is mad that I stole the scroll." Sakura touched the scroll she was carrying. She felt guilty that it came to that but it quickly went away when the thoughts of strength and power envisioned in her mind.

It was now dark and the group found a nice place to se up camp for the night. A roaring fire was going and Kagome was cooking her usual ramen for the group.

"Oh, Ramen, One stable that seems the transcend time and space!" Sakura laughed at how similar her time and Kagome's was. "Yeah it seems it's a staple for all people!" Kagome laughed and stirred the food of the choice.

"Yeah, my teammate, Naruto, loves it more than life itself." Sakura giggled to herself. Shippo ran up to Sakura and asked her what Naruto looks like. "Hmm...." She thought for a moment then smiled to Shippo. Sakura stood up and clasped her hands into O-Hitsuji (ram) position. Then she yelled Henge! Instantly, Sakura changed and when the smoke disappeared, there was Naruto, standing there with one hand on his waist and the other adjusting his hitai-etai (head band) with his trademark grin plastered on his face.

"Oye, I'm Uzumaki Naruto and I'm going to be Hokage!" Then Naruto smelled the all consuming smell of ramen and his eyes bulged out when his eyes finally saw the heaven he so calls it. He squealed with delight, "Ramen!" He ran to it and began woofing it down. Shippo's eyes were big and sparkling . "WOW!" He ran over to Naruto and said do another. Naruto nodded and gave a toothy smile. Sakura once again put her hands together and yelled Henge! Suddenly the dark hark and dark eyes Uchiha was standing present. He had one hand in his pocket and he was starring hard at Shippo. The little kitsune shudder from the cold stare and back away a bit. "I'm Uchiha Sasuke." His voice was deadly cold. Sango and Kagome looked at the boy with amazement.

"Oh, this is the boy that Sakura likes." Kagome quietly voiced out. "I can see why. He is all dark and mysterious." Sango was staring at the ninja with interest. The two girls just drooled at the boy, and then they laughed and giggled a bit. Inuyasha became a little mad at the whole scene that was unfolding before him. "Feh, why would they be gaga over him?" Upon hearing this Sakura had a devious plan concocting in her head. She tapped Shippo on the shoulder and gave him a wink and pointed towards Inuyasha. Shippo seeing this instantly thought up the same plan as Sakura. Sakura as Sasuke suddenly appeared before Kagome. She gasped loudly enough for Inuyasha to suddenly look up and watch the spectacle that was about to happen.

"Kagome, from the moment our eyes met, you have been in my heart." Kagome's eyes for Sakura, she forgotten that she changed into Sasuke. "I feel like our souls meet across the seas of time only to come together at this single moment! Kagome eyes were softening and her cheeks were flushed pink. They were inches apart and Sasuke had her hands in his. He brought them hand to his chest. "Feel my heart as it beats wildly to your touch!" Then he brought her hand to his right cheek. "The warmness of my cheek only heats when I see your tender smile."

By now everyone was staring at the couple that was getting closer and closer together. Sango was beside them and had her hand covering her mouth and her eyes were shocked to see what was happening. She took had forgotten that it was really Sakura and not the Sasuke that was before them. Miroku too was very interested in what was happening and had moved closer to see the action. No doubt making a mental note of what Sasuke was saying to be used later. Shippo was a few yards back. He had a sinister smile on his lips and was starring back between Inuyasha and Sasuke and Kagome. Inuyasha was livid. He too had forgotten that it was really Sakura and not Sasuke that was hitting on Kagome. He was growling lightly but with each statement that Sasuke made it got louder. Kagome was totally under Sakura's spell. Her cheeks were redder than an apple. Her breathing was light and she was totally relaxed. Sakura knew that she probably will hear it from both Inuyasha and Kagome but this was one joke she's wanted to do for a long time.

Sasuke let Kagome's hand go and tenderly grazed her neck with his fingers. He smiled a bit and then looked at Inuyasha.

"Kagome, your beauty rivals a goddess." He tilts her head up towards him and stares into her dark spools that held him mesmerized. She was trembling lightly but made no movement to break off the contact. "My life was full of darkness but you gave me light. It was full of chaos but you gave me peace, and it was empty, but you filled it with hope." Kagome can feel his light warm breath on her mouth. Her heart was beating faster than it has in a while. She didn't know what was going on but felt lost in this warm feeling and warm moment. A moment she wished she had with Inuyasha a thousand times. By now Inuyasha's head had exploded! He was even more livid than when Kouga came around spouting his nonsense of Kagome being his woman. He began stomping his way towards the couple.

"Kagome let me thank you for being my reason for living." Kagome's mouth parted, inviting Sasuke tender lips to grace hers. Sasuke moved in closer. Kagome's yes closed while she waited for the thank you to come. Sasuke was about to close the deal when Inuyasha grabbed his shirt and threw him back. He stood between Sasuke and Kagome who was still waiting for her kiss. She blinked her eyes then looked around when nothing happened.

"What? What happened?" she stammered out. Inuyasha growled and flexed his fingers crackling knuckles loudly. "Just who the hell do you think you are? Talking to Kagome like that." As the dust settled, Sakura was back to her old self, pink hair and all. Shippo ran over to her and they both burst out laughing while rolling around the ground holding the sides of their stomachs. "Oh, wow! That was too funny. You should have seen the look on your face Inuyasha!" Sakura was laughing so hard she snorted which caused Shippo to laugh even harder. Some where amongst the laugh fest a chuckle was heard from Miroku and Sango was smiling.

"What! Damn, I forgot it was really you." Inuyasha was so mad that he picked up a boulder and was preparing to launch it towards the comic duo. "Oh my, Gosh, I was....I was about to...How dare you do this?" Kagome was mad now. She got up and stood beside Inuyasha. "Wow, I thought it was so real." Sango's face was blushing as she reviewed the scenario in her head but inserted a certain monk instead of a certain ninja.

"We are sooo sorry! Were Sorry! I thought that a good laugh was needed and that was one joke I've wanted to play on someone for a while. But I'm truly sorry if I hurt you. Especially you Kagome." Sakura had her puppy dog look on her face and was bowed really low to the ground. Shippo was still laughing beside Sakura. Inuyasha grunted and threw the boulder at them. Sakura grabbed Shippo and jumped out of the way.

"Were sorry! Were sorry!" Shippo screamed. "Yeah, we are sorry!" Sakura was on top of the boulder. Both of them was kneeling down in the 'I'm way sorry pose.' "Fine. We accept your apology." Kagome had her arms crossed. She was still blushing slightly and looking off in the distance. "Feh, You and the kitsune are just alike! A pain in my ass!" Inuyasha growled then walked back to the rest of the group. Sakura and Shippo looked at each other then gave each other the biggest smiles.

The rest of night was spent around the fire chatting. Finally everyone went to sleep. Sakura was in her sleeping bag along with Shippo who seems to have bonded with her rather well. Everyone else was circled around and Inuyasha was perched up a tree. It was a peaceful night maybe too peaceful. The wind carried lightly the scents of the night but one scent was masked. There stood one of Naraku's incarnations. She was beautifully dressed in a kimono of many colors. The wind was her friend as well as her weapon and she controlled it or will it as she pleases. Kagara just watched the group. Gathering information for her master but keeping her own goals a priority. As she watched them slumber she wondered who this new girl was and why she was with them. Her curiosity was like an itch just waiting to be scratched. She wondered if this is something Naraku can use against them. This cause a sinister smile to grace her flawless face. She reached in her hair and produced a single feather and threw it up in the air transforming into a leaf like boat. She boarded her vessel carrying her to Naraku's castle with new information. The night went on without the group knowing that there future is about to get very interesting.
