The PAINfully PAINfull Quiz
The curtains are drawn open and we see a man behind a lectern and a woman standing next to him, both on some sort of stage. The man wearing an odd combination of a faceplate and a business suit waves to the crowd and whispers something to his partner who has short pink hair and a pink dress that barely reaches her knees. He puts his hand to his earpiece to make sure it doesn't fall out and hears the person on the other end saying. " ...and were on in 3...2..1 and GO!!!"
Man on the stage : " Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another super-exciting episode of the PAINfully PAINfull Quiz (TM) I am your host Tenzou, and this here is my lovely assistant Haruno Sakura who will assist me with today's show.

X---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------X
For Sakura the story doesn't end there, afterall there is still the romantic dinner date Ugh! with Naruto to come, and as so often happens when awaiting an event you aren't looking forward to time seems to speed up bringing that moment ever closer, which is how Sakura found herself sitting next to Naruto on the couch in his apartment.
"Ne Naruto" said Sakura softly as she rested her head on naruto's shoulder."What is it Sakura-Chan", replied Naruto. Sakura lifted her head and looked at into Naruto's face and said still speaking softly," you know Naruto I am not 'that' opposed to going on a date with you, you know that right? I mean its just for the audience all that...stuff"."Yeah I know that Sakura-Chan" replied Naruto with a smile on his face.
"Ne Naruto" Sakura said again. "hmm" replied Naruto. " Its getting late I better go" said Sakura, though she made no move to get up from the couch, seemingly content to sit pressed to her teammate. Naruto hmmed in reply when Sakura suddenly looked up at Naruto and blushingly said ," Ne Naruto at the end of the date is the perfect time to kiss right?" as she said this she brought her face in front of Naruto's as they sat now facing each other on the couch. Naruto for his part couldn't believe what was happening and he barely managed to squeak out a very nervy (and blushing tomato red) , "Sss-sakura-Chyan-yo".
Naruto's mind was racing at a 1000 miles per hour, his heart beat was over 9000! He was feeling so happy. I can't believe Sakura chan and I are going to kiss, thought Naruto. He bent forward to kiss Sakura, she had his head in her hands and brought her face close. there were only inches in it. Its happening,its happening, thought Naruto excitedly.
The moment was upon the two ninjas when Sakura abruptly twisted Naruto's head such that his face was now perpendicular to Sakura's own face and she started licking him and whining softly!!!!!!!
The thoughts going through Naruto's head were something like this, "What the!!! Sakura-chan is licking my face whats going on???". But Naruto didn't have much time to think as Sakura then punched him in the stomach and said in a very loud male voice," Oi Naruto get the fcuk up man! or your'e gonna be late for an appointment with the Hokage and then Sakura will can both our asses". Naruto blearily opened his eyes too see Akamaru's big wet nose in his face and Kiba standing in the middle of his apartment looking more and more annoyed by the second.
"Kiba what are you doing here?" asked Naruto now shaking himself awake, Kiba favoured him with a flat look," Sakura asked me to make sure you were on time to meet the Hokage since I was free" he replied, "I now see why she went to all the effort
A short while later found Naruto and Kiba in the front of the receptionist waiting for permission to go see the Hokage, when the door opened and Sakura stepped out looking relieved,"Hey Kiba, Narutooo youre late" she said cocking her fist,"but its ok today as the another of the Hokage's meetings overran so you are not in trouble- today." " Hey Sakura-Chan" replied Naruto."Waking this guy up is a Pain in the ass, I am not doing it again" said Kiba with Akamaru barking in agreement.
Naruto's ears had perked up of Kiba's mention of "pain in the ass which sounded so close to thousand years of pain" but he didn't get much time to ponder this as he was called into the Hokage's office at that point.
The END.
