Chapter Three

Choji's Food Disaster

Shikamaru and Temari walked back into town slowly, holding hands.

"Hey Temari, now that I've been "gotten", am I allowed to know what awaits the other poor suckers?"

Temari shook her head smiling and said,

"Nope. You're gonna have to wait like everyone else. Besides, if you are as smart as Asuma claims you are, figure it out yourself."

Shikamaru looked up at the night sky thoughtfully,

"Eh, I'm probably better off not knowing. "

"You are so lazy!" scoffed Temari, shoving him over still holding his hand.

"No I'm serious, I am probably better off not knowing."

"Yeah, you got a point." Sighed the blonde with a smile.

"I'm just glad that my turn is over and done with." He sighed.

"What? Was it that embarrassing?" she chuckled.

"No, just tasted really bad." He smirked at her. Her eyebrows went up then she said,

"Oh really?" she leaned in and they kissed again a smile on both their faces.

"Was that better?"

"Much."

Next day….

The sun was shining, the birds chirping and

Ino was in her kitchen smiling to herself. And when Ino smiles, it usually isn't a good thing. (Just ask Shikamaru and Choji).

"Eeee, this is going to rule! Choji won't suspect a thing!

Ino had made a large amount of food for her large friend but they had small twists. Like the cake that had no middle to chocolates that had grasshoppers in them. This would not only be a good joke, but this would also be a test to see what Choji would truly eat. Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Ino! Sakura is on the phone!"

"Oh, coming!"

As Ino went to talk to Sakura, who should enter through the back door but the one and only Choji. He was there because Ino had told him she had lots of stuff she wanted him to taste test. And Choji being Choji he wasn't one to say no to food. The large ninja looked around and then heard his blonde teammate talking to what sounded like Sakura on the phone.

"Oh well, Ino won't mind if I start without her." He thought gleefully as he clapped his hands together looking at the task before him. The shinobi looked over all the dishes on the counter and wondered where he should start. Just before he was about to take a bite out of a chocolate, hidden inside of it a grasshopper, Sai walked in.

"Hey Choji, what'z up?"

"Uh? Oh hey Sai, just trying some of Ino's latest cooking!" he grinned.

"Hmm, can I help?" asked the black-haired ninja.

"Sure! Grab a plate!"

Sai grabbed one of the chocolates that Choji had in his hand. As one, the two boys took a bite out of the chocolates just as Ino entered the room.

"Sai, no wait!" she cried but it was too late.

"Hey, Ino this is good chocolate but a little on the crunchy side." Smiled Choji looking at her.

She was torn. It was funny that Sai was too eating the fixed food but she and Sakura had already come up with a plan for his prank. She was making a weird face and her mouth was twitching while she was thinking it. Sai looked up at her from eating a chocolate that had a gushy center, (won't even bother to say what he absent mindedly ate) and asked her,

"What? What's with the face?"

"It's-s just…" Ino gulped. She decided she had better tell him, she only hoped that Sai would forgive her…

"Those chocolates are crunchy because well…I put grass hoppers in them and other stuff." She said sheepishly.

Sai and Choji paused a second looking at her then each other, before spiting out the chocolates they had in their mouths, and rushing to the sink.

"INO! WHY IN THE NAME OF THE FOURTH HOKAGE DID YOU DO THAT FOR?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT PERFECTLY GOOD CHOCOLATES YOU……..ya know they really weren't that bad…"

Sai looked at Choji with his hand massaging his throat and raised eyebrows. Ino sweat dropped and thought,

"Well, at least I proved that he'll eat anything…"

"Sorry about that Sai…this was all gag food intended for Choji…you see this was his prank."

Sai chuckled which made Ino blush.

"That's okay beautiful, I think I'll live." He smiled at her.

"Well, we might as well throw all this stuff out." She sighed.

"Ya know these really are not too bad at all…" said Choji pointing at a chocolate grasshopper surprise. Ino and Sai both sweatdropped.

"Okay, Choji you're weird." Said Sai shaking his head as he grabbed a garbage bag.

Ino, Choji and Sai threw all the trick food away. Ino went to put it out side with the rest of the garbage, when suddenly Sakura came running, and then skitted to a halt right in front of her which lead to Ino to sweat drop again.

"What's up with you? What's the hurry?" asked Ino at her pink-haired friend.

"I just got an idea. What's in the trash bag?"

"Uh, all the trick food that I was going to give Choji. I mean it did kinda work but Sai got…"

"Great. Can I have it?" she interpreted.

"UH?! What for?"

"Like I said an idea just came to me thanks bye!" said Sakura as she snatched the bag out of Ino's hand and started to run again. Ino watched her go and Sai and Choji right behind her.

"What…?"

"I have no clue what so ever Choji." Said Ino with a totally puzzled look on her face.

TenTen and Neji where walking down the street talking not really caring where they were going.

"So, are you sure that you're not made at me?" asked TenTen for the hundredth time.

"Yes TenTen, I forgive you." Sighed the Hyuuga.

"Okay." She sighed back.

Neji looked at her for a second then said,

"Ya know TenTen I have to give you credit, not very many could pull a trick off like that on me without me knowing."

TenTen smiled at him and said cheekily,

"Well, well, the mighty Hyuuga Neji admits that I might be better than him?"

"I said you were good, not better than me." He complained back.

"Okay, okay I was only…"

Suddenly a flash of pink hair ran past them knocking Neji over.

"Sorry Neji!" yelled Sakura's voice as she disappeared in a cloud of dust.

They two of them just stated after her for a second they both sweatdropped and TenTen said,

"Wonder why she's in such a hurry."

"Bets me."

Asuma, Kurenai, Kakashi, and Jiraiya where all sitting at an outside café eating lunch when they saw Sakura rush past them.

"Hey Sakura!" yelled out Kakashi.

"Can't talk gotta do something!"

Kakashi shook his head and turned back to the others chuckling.

"If I where Sasuke I would be worried right now."

"What? Do you think that's why she's in such a hurry?" asked Asuma.

"Considering that in the last two days some of the boys have either been, dyed, skunked, and had a bowl of food blow up in their faces, yes I think it's a fair guess."

Just then, Sai, Ino and Choji came up to their sensei. Choji and Sai had strange looks on their faces which to Asuma meant only one thing.

"Okay Ino, what did you do to them?"

"She put grasshoppers and other things which I will not name in chocolates and we ate them. And actually they weren't at all that bad." Said Choji.

Kurenai took one look at her hot chocolate and decided that she didn't want anymore and Jiraiya didn't feel much like finishing his bowl of soup.

"Ugg, Choji." Complained Asuma.

"What?"

"Boy you girls are really going all out with this prank thing." Chuckled Kakashi

"Yeah, well you see the trick food wasn't meant for Sai so I'm taking them to lunch as an apology." shrugged Ino and then they walked off towards the BBQ place.

As they did Kakashi chuckled and said,

"I am glad I'm not the guys because I think I would go insane with worry on what those girls would do to me. I know Sakura well enough to know."

Kurenai looked at him thoughtfully.

"I got to go; Anko and Shizune asked me to help them with some paperwork."

"Oh, okay, see you later." Said Asuma.

She nodded then went.

"What, weren't you going to kiss her good-bye?" teased Kakashi.

Asuma decided that he wasn't going to answer him.

-----

Little while later Kurenai went to Tsunade's office to help Anko, Shizune, she also saw that Tsunade was there as well helping them. She must have had a thoughtful look on her face for when she walked into the office, Tsunade looked at her and said,

"What's up? Got something on your mind?"

"Uh? Oh I was just thinking about how the rookie nine girls are playing pranks on their teammates."

"Oh yeah heard all about that, Neji pink hair, and Naruto having a bowl of ramen blown up in his face! Wish I could have seen the looks on their faces!" laughed Anko.

"Yes, and me and Kakashi and the others just saw Sakura running at about seventy miles per hour somewhere so I have a feeling that Sasuke is probably going to fall victim soon." Said Kurenai taking a seat beside Shizune and her large pile of paperwork.

"Ooo, I can't wait to hear about that one!" Anko chuckled.

"You know I got a idea from Kakashi, well sort of." Said Kurenai suddenly.

"What?"

"Maybe we should play a trick on a certain few shinobi." She grinned.

Tsunade went wide-eyed for a second then got an evil smile on her face.

"We should. I really want to get Jiraiya."

Shizune looked up at her old friend with a raised eyebrow and said,

"Do you really think we could pull that off?"

"Yes I do."

"Ummm, if we do we'll have to plan this carefully. And also make sure the others don't know not even the girls." Said Anko thoughtfully.

"Hmmm, I already have a few ideas." Said Kurenai.

"Oh, this is going to be good." Grinned Tsunade as she leaned in to hear Kurenai.
