Completely a filler chapter, but I find it to be excessively hilarious, and hope you do the same. I will post the next chunin exams next chapter, so feel free to skip, if it is desired! ^-^

__Sara Pov__

I awoke early. It was the day after the test with Hitomi, and I had the entire day to do whatever I wanted. I had already planned what I wanted to do today, and it would be a very satisfying day for me. I dressed quickly, putting on a simple grey dress that accentuated my curves with a frill along the bottom and frilled tanktop straps, along with that I wore simple grey ballet flats. My ever present mask was a pale pink, so as to not look as odd.

I prepared breakfast quickly, knowing the kids would be awake any moment now. My assumption was correct as I heard the rustles and thuds of three bodies rising from their beds. Having checked earlier, I knew Kakashi was still asleep, which was perfect. I gave the kids a few minutes then went up to call them to breakfast.

After seeing the kids off to school, a malicious smile crept onto my face. Konoha would have a few strange things happening today. Why, you may ask?

Today I would be getting back at people, as I had promised them at the time.

_-_

My first target was Kakashi, which was why it was so perfect that he was still asleep in bed.

Moving quickly I snuck into his room and went to his desk. The orange book that would serve as perfect bait lay closed and set carelessly upon its surface. I slipped the book off of the desk and replaced it with a close imitation. The only difference was that it was only able to open to the center page which held the all important note, in code, detailing how to get the book back.

Knowing he wouldn't wake up until much later in the afternoon I left. Returning to my room I grabbed my bag and left for setting up my next prank.

_-_

The gates of Konoha stood open, but with the two guards nowhere in sight. I walked to the booth the two would ususally sit in and found them both asleep. They really take their duty seriously I see.

My mind flashed to the day that had spurred this revenge against Izumo and Kotetsu. They were always friendly and goofing off, but one day they went to far.

I had arrived early for a mission, and somehow my skill, or lack thereof, with cooking had gotten out. They were gently teasing me, and I reciprocated in kind. It just so happened that I made cookies that day and brought them along. When the fact was mentioned they hounded me for the opportunity to taste them. Eventually I gave in and relinquished one to each of the two man-children. They took a bite and pretended to die.

That in and of itself wasn't why I was getting revenge. More of the fact that when I went to help them get up they pulled me and I went straight behind them, off balance. I tripped over a stone, which in turn caused me to fall into a bush. Did it end there? No. Getting up from the bush, plucking leaves and twigs out of my hair, I was actually laughing. If it had ended there, no harm done, but then their childishness got the best of them and they pushed me back, I had awkwardly landed on my butt... in a bucket.

It had taken practically forever to get the bucket unstuck from my behind. All the while the two stood there just laughing at me. The embarrassment from the episode is what now led me to getting back at them.

They slept there in a lazy sitting position, perfect for this prank. I set the note of explanation in front of them, then hung the two buckets over their heads in the perfect position. I took out a gong, don't ask where it came from, and with as much force as possible hit it. The sound shocked the two awake and they stood up, right into the buckets where their heads got stuck.

I quickly fastened them on their heads while they were still groggy from sleep. I had cut out eye-holes so they could see, and eventually, after realizing the buckets weren't coming off, turned in my direction. I simply smiled, eyes closed, and flashed them a peace sign before running off.

One down, much more to go.

_-_

My next target was Asuma. This was revenge for him snickering at me being polite, even though everyone should already know that wasn't true. Still, I had been trying to make a good impression on Atsushi-san, he was the leader of the Hikawa after all.

This one was actually fairly simple in my opinion. I had already stolen all of his packs of cigarettes and thrown them into a watery grave in a bucket. Now that he needed a new pack of cigarettes it was the perfect time.

I went to each store that sold cigarettes and cast a genjutsu over the people. Now whenever they saw Asuma, they would see him as a kid. I'll really have to thank Kurenai for teaching me some genjutsu. Not only would they see him as a kid though, they would also give him a lollipop, refusing to sell him a pack.

I wouldn't see the effects of this prank until he came looking for me, but I already was enjoying this. For now though, it was on to my teammates on team 7.

_-_

In the land of waves, my team had commented on the fact that my pranks were worse than having a knife where the sun doesn't shine. While that wasn't false, they didn't know the half of it. I was here to enlighten them of course.

From past experiments of cooking, I had come up with a glue. It was a fairly bad failure, but it came in handy now, especially as only I knew the way to get it off, because of another failed cooking attempt... I have talent for making everything except what I want to.

Anyways, said glue was coming in handy now. I walked to each of their houses. I knew Sakura's parents were already gone for the morning, thanks to my amazing ninja skills. I set a trip wire in front of all their doors. They would stumble over them, and also tip the bucket of glue down onto them. Oh, how I loved trip wires.

Making a kage bunshin at each house I handed them the other supplies necessary for the prank.

Yes, they would be pissed. And yes, it would be hilarious.

_-_

By now it was a little later in the morning, but not quite noon. This means that by now, Kakashi should be awake, and I was totally looking forward to this. Hopefully this would show him why you shouldn't kick me off the dock when you're training me.

I happily made my way to the small clearing in the forest surrounding Konoha. With any luck Kakashi would be here in a few minutes, but I was prepared to wait. I slid next to my trap, cast a genjutsu to disguise it, then settled next to the fire I had built up.

While waiting three memories hit me within minutes of each other. My clones had successfully pulled off the pranks for my team, and I had to say that my team now looked fabulous. Like the cock of the walk if I dare say so.

My thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of a very flustered Kakashi.

"Sara, you stole my book again!" He whined pitifully.

I looked down at the book in my hand, making a completely surprised look. "Wow, I suppose I did!"

He looked at me with a slight glare, "Give it back."

"Hmmm..." I tapped the book on my chin thoughtfully, "I guess I could... but you see, my fire is running low on fuel." I looked down at the book then to the fire.

His face was a complete mask of worry, "I-I'll go get some wood?" He offered hesitantly and with a placating tone.

"Oh! Would you? Wonderful, but you better hurry, and I'll know if you try to sneak up on me." I waved him off with the book, "better get going then, you have 2 minutes."

He stood there for a few seconds before realizing. Turning he raced off into the trees.

"Oh! Don't get any green wood either! It doesn't burn very well!" I called after him.

Not even 30 seconds later Kakashi stood where he had first appeared with a massive pile of wood in his arms. I looked over dully, managing to suppress a smile. It was so fun to manipulate him.

"Weell... I guess that will work, but bring it over so I can look at it." I beckoned him closer.

Not even batting an eye he walked closer. When he was halfway across the clearing I released the genjutsu and he fell into the pool I had filled. He resurfaced as quickly as he had sunk, spluttering from surprise and disbelief.

Ignoring the heated glare I puffed my cheeks out, "aww, now my wood is ruined."

"Sara... you...." Kakashi was at a loss for words, his voice extremely angry.

"Well, you tried, so here's your book!" I tossed it at his head carelessly.

His eyes widened as it landed on his head, bouncing off and almost landing in the pool of water. "You could have ruined my book!" He got out indignantly.

"I suppose so. Would have been such a shame too, considering the water you're in." I looked at my nails carelessly.

"What does that mean?"

"Well, I was going through some books in the library earlier this week and came across a prank catalogue. It had this recipe for the water in it."

He was confused now, "So you... made water?"

"Not exactly, this is a special water. See it has some components in it that... make it harder to evaporate. Let's just say, you're going to be soaking for at least 4 hours."

"How does that even work!?"

I smiled evilly, "Jutsu and science. You should be somewhat dry by the time you come home tonight."

"I have missions on team seven today!" He complained.

"Don't worry, I'm sure almost nobody will notice." With that I smiled and ran off, leaving a pissed Kakashi climbing out of the water.

__Iruka Pov__

It was another boring day in the mission office. I sat next to the Hokage and looked over the new missions and old reports that had come in yesterday. The door opened and I looked up, only to have to withhold a fit of laughter.

Team 7 had walked through the door, and they certainly had everyone's attention. They had serious looks on their faces, but that was the only serious thing about them.

The Hokage spoke up beside me, "Kakashi, why are you soaking wet?" My attention, which had been arrested by Naruto and his teammates, turned to Kakashi. He was indeed dripping water wherever he went.

"I fell in a puddle Lord Hokage." How he managed his straight face remains a mystery.

"I see. And what about you three?" The Hokage gestured to the three genin.

Their appearance was comical. It seems glue had been poured on all three of them. Naruto and Sasuke's usually spiky hair had fallen flat against their scalps and had stayed that way. As if the glue weren't enough they had feathers stuck all over their heads and bodies. They also had a medical glove, blown up and painted red, stuck to them. There was also yellow beaks on all three of them. The likeness of a rooster was unmistakable.

The three looked to Kakashi, then at each other. Debating what to say, none of them spoke for quite a while. Finally though, Sakura broke the silence, saying:

"We were... uh... practicing the Henge no Jutsu... and... um..." She fished around for an answer.

Sasuke looked to her, and went with the story, "now we're seeing how long we can hold these forms, with all the distraction from the embarrassment." His face was as emotionless as I had always known it.

I looked to Naruto, and after confused glances shot at his teammates nodded his head in earnest agreement. The Hokage also studied the team and cleared his throat.

"Well then, your mission for today is planting radish seeds in a nearby farm." There was a smile tugging at his lips as he gazed on the serious faces of the team.

"Right then," Kakashi turned to his team, then walked out, "Let's get going."

The team filed out, and once the door was securely closed behind them, the entire room erupted into laughter, including the Hokage. Eventually the laughter subsided and I turned to the Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, what do you expect actually happened to those four?"

A smile still tugging at his lips he responded, "We may just be looking at a little revenge."

"From whom?" I was genuinely curious.

"A girl who loves pranks, and knows exactly how people react to things."

"You mean Sara?"

The Hokage nodded in a judicious manner, and a cold hand of fear clutched my gut.

 __Sara Pov__

I walked calmly through Konoha, searching all the while for two familiar faces that would experience the next prank. Eventually giving in I went to where they usually goofed around. My head poked above the top of the lookout and I saw two people lazily sitting there. I composed myself and launched over the railing and ran up to them.

"Pineapple! Captain Underpants!" Choji turned to me and I heard a groan from Shika.

"Hello Sara, good to see you," Choji greeted me around a mouthful of chips. His eyes widened almost imperceptibly. He nudged Shika and the spiky haired boy sat up.

"Sara, what ar-" his response to me died as he finally took in how I was dressed. I guess he liked it because a blush fought its way onto his face.

I smiled at him sweetly. Boys are so simple, dress up a little and they'll sit there like an idiot. Doesn't matter how smart the boy is either apparently.

He fought his way out of the stupor, "Er... What are you doing here, Sara?"

"Well, I came to get you so we could hang out of course. I wanted to introduce you to my friend and boss of my part-time job!"

"Oh. Well, I'd rather sit here..." He trailed off uncertainly. The reason was that I had the saddest puppy dog face on as humanly possible. He blushed madly and looked away scratching his head. "I guess I could come then, troublesome woman."

I fist-pumped in victory. Then I reached and pulled him up off the bench. Choji made no move to get up. Now I needed to come up with a reason for him, that way he didn't think, even about the date he had imagined for us.

"She runs a bakery, and the food is so good. Especially her cinnamon bread fresh out of the oven. It even got Neji rambling on about the taste, and he is always so solemn. The medley of flavor in her meat buns is so good to. The spicy flavor she uses to flavor the meat is almost too hot by itself, but the bread helps to calm it, not to mention the flakiness it to die for." Throughout this I saw Choji have an inner struggle as drool slipped out of his mouth.

Finally he stood up, "Sara, can I come?"

"I never said you weren't!" I smiled, and it may have been my imagination, but I swear there was an almost imperceptible droop of Shika's shoulders. I dismissed the idea as fanciful thinking though. "Wait! Do you two have missions today?"

"Yeah, but not for another hour," Choji replied still crunching along on his chips.

"Then let's hurry! You have to try her bread!"

I took one of each of their hands and hurried off through the streets of Konoha to Mayu's bakery. When we got there it was during a lull in the business day, and nobody was around.

"Mayu!" I burst through the door and tackled her into a hug. "You two sit down, we'll be back out with some bread soon," I then turned and dragged her into the kitchen.

"Sara? What's up with you today?" Mayu looked at me, never having seen my overexcited acting.

In a serious tone I turned to speak to her. "I'm pulling pranks on a couple of my friends today. Those two are Shika and Choji. I was wondering if I could ruin a loaf of your bread."

"Shika as in-" She was cut off as my two hands held her mouth shut.

"Yes, now can I have a loaf of your bread?"

She chuckled from behind my hand and nodded. I removed my hands and she went and grabbed a loaf of bread, tossing it at me. I caught it and pulled out two pills. I quickly crushed them and sprinkled the powder over the top of the loaf so it looked like flour.

"Sara, what were those?" Mayu regarded me with trepidation.

"Just some sleeping pills. I hear they work almost instantly once consumed."

"Why are you doing this again?"

"Just a little revenge for making fun of me, or things like that." I smiled innocently, and she saw right through it.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side."

"This is probably one of the last times I'll be pranking people... for a while anyways."

She just shook her head at my answer and we walked back out of the kitchen together.

"Hey guys, this is Mayu. Mayu, this is Choji and Shikamaru." I elbowed her when I saw the smirk on her face.

"Is that the bread you told us about?" Choji looked at it excitedly.

"Yupp! Dig in!" I proffered the plate to them and they each took a slice, taking a tentative bite. Their eyes widened.

"This is good," Shika remarked.

Choji just nodded in agreement, continuing to eat. Shika followed his example. They weren't even halfway done with their slices of bread when they both fell asleep.

Mayu just watched in amusement as I picked both boys up and bid her farewell. I quickly prepared the prank and disappeared from both boys rooms before they awoke.

__Iruka Pov__

I still sat in the mission office. After Kakashi's team had come and gone it had been an hour of regular work. Now there was a little commotion in the hall, and Asuma's team came in.

Asuma entered first, with a sucker in his mouth and looking pissed. Ino followed him into the room with an equally pissed expression. I wondered why Ino was upset only briefly before Shikamaru and Choji followed her into the room... with only their boxers on. They also had a monocle drawn around their eye and a curly mustache above their mouth. There was also a unibrow shaded in.

The Hokage blinked once or twice before speaking.

"Um... Asuma, why are you so mad?" The Hokage asked tentatively.

"I- er... I ran out of cigarettes," He testily replied and turned to look out the window. There was an audible crunch as he bit down on the sucker and splintered it in his mouth. Angrily he took out another and popped it in he mouth in disgust.

The Hokage turned his gaze on the two boys with interest. He didn't even ask and I could already see the gears turning in Shikamaru's head, searching for an explanation.

"Why are you two... under-dressed?" The Hokage put politely.

"Choji lost a bet," Shikamaru said with a completely straight face.

Choji looked at him in surprise, "It was your idea!" He looked hurt that Shikamaru had just thrown him under the bus.

"Right. Well then on to your mission." The Hokage cleared his throat, "You will be cleaning out the stables of the local dairy farm run by an elderly couple."

"Tch," Asuma looked away testily, "Got it, let's go."

The four walked out, but on the two boy's back I saw two sentences.

You tried to expose my face. Was on Choji's.

Shika's read,  I exposed a little more.

This time she had signed her work with her name at the base of their skulls.

I didn't even ask The Hokage about it this time, but I knew, somehow, that we would see a few more pranks before the day was out.

_-_

On my way home later I passed two ninja with buckets on their heads, who turned out to be Izumo and Kotetsu. Then a little farther on I saw two ladies who were chatting, one with now rainbow-colored hair and the other with paint instead of make-up. Another group of academy students had bandanas that looked like there was an arrow shot through their head stuck on. I passed more people with similar pranks, and all I could think of was that Sara worked fast. Practically half the people I passed had fallen victim to her pranks, and all in a day.

__Sara Pov__

I watched as Iruka walked down the street blankly. On both sides he was passed by completely normal residents of Konoha, but thanks to yet another genjutsu I was sure that wasn't what he saw, well... minus Izumo and Kotetsu, who still had the buckets on their heads after all this time.

I leapt down onto Iruka's shoulders, but he didn't notice. I quickly did all the pranks he was seeing in the genjutsu, rainbow hair, painted face, arrow head. To top it off I managed to put a deep-sea blue dress on him, along with hooker heels of the same color. I gave him two temporary sleeve tattoos that would probably last a good 2-3 weeks. When I was done he continued walking on alone, now getting some strange looks.

When I judged him to be a safe distance away I released the genjutsu. I saw him stumble, then fall flat on his face. Even from my distance I could hear his angry shout.

"Saaaaraaaaa!" Probably a good time to get out of here. Especially as I noticed he had finally spotted me on the roof. I wasn't sure if he could run in those heels, but I wasn't going to stay and find out.

_-_

I finally settled into my room. It had taken all my free time between pranks today, but I managed to move into my new house and get everything unpacked. The three kids now shared their own room and I had one to myself. There was a rather large kitchen/dining room and an open entryway into the living room. There was a room that was full of weapons down the hall on the first floor, just after the bathroom. The bedrooms were upstairs, as well as a second bathroom. Each floor had a hall closet, and the yard was massive.

The three kids all loved the house, and right now they were playing shadow tag in the yard, with Naoko, Hibiko, and the Konohamaru ninja squad.

Eventually I heard a lot of shouts from the street outside, then a pounding on the door. Thankfully, my room was above the front door, so I opened my window and peered down. I had to stop myself from bursting into laughter.

I went to my closet and pulled out the sacks containing Shika and Choji's clothing first. I had stolen every article of clothing they owned, minus their underwear. I tossed the sacks to both boys, of course, the marker on their face wouldn't come off too easily.

They looked up when they sacks landed at their feet. I held up a hand in a shushing gesture and they nodded, walking off.

The handywork my clones had done on my teammates from team 7 was pretty awesome. I'm sure all three had tried to get it off, or change clothes, but the glue had dried quickly and their clothing was stuck on them. I relented and prepared three bottles of the substance that would remove it. Along with that I got a towel for Kakashi, despite what I had said, he wasn't dry. He never would be unless I released the jutsu either, so he was still dripping water out on the front porch.

I dropped the items to all recipients, then ducked back inside. They didn't see me, but they left once realizing what I had given them. I quietly released the jutsu placed on the water Kakashi had fallen into.

I dropped a pack of cigarettes to Asuma and cut the straps on the buckets of Izumo and Kotetsu with kunai. The two pulled off the buckets in tears, which was hilarious, and Asuma simply reached for his lighter... which was in my pocket.

He glared up at the window accusingly. "Saaraaa! Give me back my lighter!"

"What lighter?" I pulled it out and started to play with it, lighting it and twirling it.

He looked up pleadingly, like a beat dog. Finally I relented, snapping it shut and chucking it. His eyes followed the glinting arc of its trail and raced off after it.

All that was left was Iruka.

"Sara, come down here." He looked me in the eyes.

I shrugged and made my way downstairs. Opening the door I took in the full work of my prank on him, and had to suppress a smile.

He put a hand on his hip and held out the other expectantly. "Hair dye removal, as well as paint removal and glue removal."

The pose was so feminine, and with the dress on it was to much and I fell to the floor in a fit of hysterical laughter. Eventually, gasping for air, I stood back up.Looking at Iruka I could see he was trying hard to hide a smile as well. At least he had a good attitude about this.

I went inside and retrieved the required items. I relinquished them to him.

"I thought you had given up pranking people once you became a genin?" He looked at the labels of the bottles warily.

"Do you recall what I said when you gave Naruto his headband?"

He looked up at the reference, then a thoughtful look fell across his face. "Something like... 'good job, I can't prank with you now that we're ninja.' Right?"

"Yeah, pretty close at least." Smiling at him he looked even more confused.

"Then what's with all this?" He gestured to his appearance and waved in the direction the others had left in.

"I said I couldn't prank with him, never said I couldn't prank alone though. Anyways, you had to admit it settled a couple of peoples nerves before the chunin exams tomorrow." His eyes widened. "Speaking of, don't you have some people to test for that?"

"You-" He hesitated, "Er... yeah I guess. How did you know that?"

"Iruka, think about who you're talking to here." I gave him a knowing look.

"You're right, dumb question." He started to walk off.

"Before that, make sure you change. See you later for my test."

He stood up straighter at the reminder of the dress. Then continued walking off.

I passed Iruka's test with flying colors that night. I knew that all the others would as well, but I stayed up a little later than usual, sharpening my weapons. It was the chunin exams, and I knew I would have to be on guard almost constantly. Once the quiet of the night settled into its usual rhythms I too joined the rest of the village and drifted off to sleep.
