A/N: This is on a less serious note than my other Fanfics, I admit it might not be any good, but I just wanted to have fun with it.

A/N: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters associated with it.

It All Started With a Dare

Chapter One: On A Scale from 1 to 10

"This is troublesome." Shikamaru said while tossing his sleeping bag at Naruto.

"Aww, come on Shikamaru, we promised that we all would hang out once a month back when we were 13." The blonde headed boy said with a cheesy smile upon his face.

"Yeah, when we were 13, but we're 17 now" Neji said unenthused as he entered the apartment.

"Come on guys; remember how much fun we had at these when we were younger?" Naruto said trying desperately to brighten up the mood. He looked around the room for a sign of encouragement, but no one said anything. All you could hear was the crunching of chips by Choji. "That's enough guys, really, this can be fun you know? Shino, you agree right?"

Shino gave him a blank stare. He never really came to these things anyway. He only came today because Naruto kept annoying him.

"Fine then. Is everyone here?" Naruto asked resign and looked around the room. "Wait, where's Sasuke?" Naruto asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, dobe, I came." Sasuke said coolly as he entered the room with a bored look on his face.

"All right then the fun can start now!" Naruto said while scratching his head trying to find a glimpse of hope which he didn't find. "Don't worry guys, I thought of a whole list of games we could play and everything!"

While Naruto was clearly happy with this thought, the rest of the room cringed. Another boring boys night in, when was Naruto going to realize that only girls still do this kind of stuff? Kiba had enough of this. Every month it was the same old thing. Naruto annoyed all of the guys to get together and 'hang out' meaning another night full of pinning the kunai on the donkey. Well, Kiba decided that this time, he was going to make it a little more interesting.

"So… on a scale of 1-10, how would you rate Hinata?" Kiba asked with a smirk.

"KIBA! We aren't going to do any of that kind of stuff." Naruto yelled frustrated while he faced turned about 4 shades of red. Naruto was clearly annoyed and embarrassed by the question, but everyone seemed to be interested.

"Oh come on Naruto. It's all in good fun." Kiba said laughing.

"Oh alright," Naruto said resigned realizing all of his friend's interest.

"So…?" Kiba asked intriguingly.

"9" Naruto mumbled under his breath while the rest of the room bursted into laughter.

"Can you imagine how Hinata would be if she heard that Naruto thought she was hot?" Kiba joked. Everyone laughed even harder with the exception of Naruto who was turning redder with every moment and Neji who looked somewhat annoyed.

"Neji, what's your problem?" Kiba inquired noticing that he wasn't joining it.

"Hinata is my cousin after all." Neji said with a bit of annoyance in his voice.

"Oh, well if that's the case, how about Tenten then?" Kiba joked. "Come on, Neji, it's all in fun. We all know that you like her anyways."

Clearly annoyed, Neji just glared at Kiba.

"No! No way Neji! You gotta answer, you hear me? You gotta!" Naruto said obnoxiously since he had already answered about Hinata.

"…9… as well then" Neji muttered.

With that the room exploded with more laughter, especially Shikamaru; he was really starting to get into this game.

Neji, who was clearly ready to get back at someone, spotted Shikamaru laughing louder than the rest. "Fine then. Hey Shikamaru! 1-10, rate Ino."

Shikamaru abruptly stopped as he realized that he had become the next target of this game. "She's bothersome so I give her a 7." He replied coolly.

"Really?!" the rest of the room inquired in disbelief. They thought they were all going to have a little bit more fun with him than that. Most people quieted down. Naruto elbowed Sasuke to do something about the mood dying. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Sakura can be right sometimes, you know" Sasuke said with a serious look on his face.

Everyone turned and looked at Sasuke in disbelief that Sasuke had said that someone other than himself was right.

"What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked quizzically.

Sasuke's serious look gave way to a smirk as he said, "Ino, Sakura calls her a pig, no?"

"What's that supposed to mean Uchiha?!?" Shikamaru yelled, clearly upset.

Sasuke busted out laughing as did the rest of the room. "Nothing, I was being serious, but you should have seen the look on your face! Man I'm glad I can't be taunted with a girl."

Suddenly, the room got silent. They all looked upon Sasuke. 'As if,' they all thought to themselves. Everyone gave each other a couple of nods and decided they were going to play game with him now.

"Yea, you're right, Sasuke. You're lucky you can't be taunted so easily." Naruto continued with a smirk "Not even by Sakura-chan."

Sasuke immediately stopped laughing. He glared at Naruto, but decided he wasn't going to let Naruto toy with him so easily. "No, not even by Sakura" Sasuke said in the most serious tone.

The rest of the room was shocked upon hearing the seriousness in Sasuke's tone. They really thought they were going to get him on that one, but he really did seem uninterested.

"Wow, really?" Kiba asked surprised by his answer. "Well, I give her a 10. She's hot!" Around the room there were nods in agreement from everyone, even Shino who had almost completely withdrawn himself from the game.

"A 10? Really?" Sasuke asked even more shocked with Kiba's answer and everyone else's agreement.

"Yeah, have you ever looked at her lately? Time has done her a wonder of things, and even I noticed that." Neji said.

Sasuke hadn't really looked at Sakura lately. Actually, he had really given her a good look since they were 13. He had just always figured she looked the same as she always did- a little awkward and a lot of pink. He began to wonder how Sakura really did look. He found himself trying to picture his teammate.

Shikamaru, who was still angered by Sasuke's comment about Ino, quickly picked up on Sasuke's curiosity. "I don't believe you." He directed his comment toward Sasuke who was still having fun with his imagination.

"I don't see why not," Sasuke stated trying to hide his curiosity, "it's not like I'll ever be attracted to her."

"Fine, how about a dare then?" Shikamaru inquired.

"Bring it on." Sasuke said with no fear.

"When we invite the girls over, you have to ask Sakura out on a date. Afterwards, if you still aren't attracted to her, then fine, I'll believe you."

"HEY! NO GIRLS ALLOWED! This is boy's night, remember Shikamaru?" Naruto blurted out obnoxiously.

"Hinata will be coming too." Kiba said in a taunting tone.

Naruto brightened up and scratched his head, "well, if Hinata-chan will be coming too…"

"Fine, it's a dare." Sasuke said interrupting Naruto. He could surely ignore the girl he had been ignoring for so long. "I'm sure she hasn't changed anyway."

The doorbell rang. "Good, this is finally going to get interesting." Shikamaru said slyly pointing out that the girls were here.
