Okay. I know I shouldn't be starting another story when I've never even finished one before, but I just had to write this. I started watching Naruto last week and I'm already almost on episode 90 and have drawn three fan-pics. I think I'm becoming obsessed. Also, there isn't very many SasuGaa stories, so I thought I would write one as I have an idea that's been going around in my head for a while. Let's just hope I can get it into words as good as it seems in my head :D.

This isn't going to be one of those, truth or dare fanfics. It only last this chapter.

Okay. Let's begin.

----------------

Dirt blew across Konoha's empty, dark streets as three people walked down the road with directions in their hands. It was past 8pm and they were almost an hour late already. The street stalls, a couple of streets over, were echoing loud shouts and laughter around the town, causing one of the three Ninjas to sigh in frustration.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" The blonde-haired girl with four pigtails asked the shorter of the three.

The shorter boy nodded silently, while still trying to decipher the badly written directions. He screwed the piece of paper into a ball in his fist and glared out in front of himself. He should have guessed that Naruto's directions were going to be as idiotic as he was.

The older boy of the three wore purple war paint on his face and carried a puppet on his back as he kicked at a few stones, while looking around. "It should be here somewhere."

"Hn." The shortest of the three with red hair nodded again. He was determined to prove that he'd changed since his fight with the blond-haired ninja. Now if only they could find the right house. His dark eyes ran across the lined up houses as they past them. One of them had to be his. He crossed his arms and listened quietly to see if he could hear the hyperactive boy's loud mouth.

He didn't wear his usual getup. Temari had told him that you got dressed up for parties. He himself had never been to one before, so he let his older sister pick out his clothes for him. He didn't like them much, but he guessed she wouldn't let him go out the house looking like an idiot… not if she valued her life that is. He wore black jeans with a black sleeveless shirt. He tugged at the material and looked down at himself. He wasn't used to wearing these types of clothes.

"Look, I think that one is his house," Kankuro said as he pointed at a house a few meters away.

Gaara looked up. Kankuro was right - the party balloons and the giant banner saying 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NARUTO' kind of gave it away. He felt a sweat drop appear on the side of his face. He wasn't an expert in these kinds of things, but he was pretty sure balloons and banners were for little kids.

"Looks like you're going to have a great time." Kankuro laughed as he eyed up the banner.

"I think… I've changed my mind," Gaara's deep, raspy voice mumbled. "Maybe we should just go back home."

"Uh-uh-uh," Temari chirped as she pushed her younger brother by the shoulders down the path. Gaara leant backwards against the force of her pushing hands. His feet scraped across the pathway as he got closer to the door. "It took us almost two days to get here, so you're going if you like it or not." She smiled inwardly to herself. If she had tried to do something like this half a year ago, he wouldn't have hesitated to kill her the second she made physical contact with him. She owed Naruto a lot for how much he'd helped Gaara out. It had taken the red-haired boy some getting used to, but he seemed to be becoming a normal teenage boy more by the day.

Kankuro laughed at the sight and walked down the path after the two. Temari stopped shoving Gaara when they got to the door and knocked loudly.

Gaara tensed but made sure the other two hadn't seen. He didn't want them to know that he was getting nervous over a small party. A message had arrived at Suna for the three of them a couple of days ago, inviting them all to Naruto's birthday party. At first they weren't going to go, but Temari had convinced Gaara into, as she put it, stop being a social reject.

There was no answer at the door. Loud music seeped through the wood and the sound of laughing teenagers filled the air around them.

"Hmm, they must not be able to hear us," Temari stated as she grabbed the door handle and pushed it open. She pushed Gaara in in front of herself and they entered the house.

The music became louder as they entered the room. There was a table full of cups of drink and a lot of ramen. Gaara looked around the crowded room and saw Naruto at the side talking to Sasuke. Sasuke leant against the wall with his arms crossed and eyes closed.

"Come on, Sasuke, just drink it," Naruto whined with a slight tint of red in his cheeks and a wide smile.

"No," Sasuke mumbled.

Naruto pouted but snapped out of it when his glance fell unstably onto Gaara. His grin became wider and he made his way over to the red-haired boy. "You three made it! I didn't think you were coming!"

Gaara opened his mouth to speak, but he was cut short but Kankuro. "Actually, me and Temari aren't staying. We just came to drop Gaara off."

The short, red-haired boy's eyes widened ever so slightly. They weren't really going to leave him… were they?.. They wouldn't… would they? He narrowed his eyes at them. "What?" he asked in a tone dripping with blood.

Temari laughed and smiled widely. "This isn't really our scene."

Gaara felt his right eye twitching. This wasn't THEIR scene? THEIR bloody scene? Like hell was this HIS scene either. He also only came because Temari made him, now she was leaving him alone in a room full of people he'd tried to kill before. This wasn't going to be a very enjoyable night.

"Aww, stay," Naruto whined.

Yes, stay! Gaara thought, giving them a warning glare.

Temari laughed again and grabbed hold of Kankuro's wrist to drag him from the house. "Sorry, we'll be back to pick Gaara up later. We're a bit too old for this type of thing. Catch you later, Gaara," she said, waving goodbye as she left the house with Kankuro and shut the door behind herself.

Gaara was in shock. Now what was he going to do? Also, what did she mean by 'pick him up later' what was this? Did he need a babysitter now or something? He sighed.

"Come on, Gaara," Naruto laughed as he shoved a cup of drink into his hand. "Don't just stand their, join the party." The blond boy then bounded off to join a crowd of people on the other side of the room.

What was wrong with him? Gaara thought as he raised an eyebrow. He looked down at his reflection in the cup before bringing it up to his lips.

"I wouldn't drink that if I were you," a deep voice came from behind him.

Gaara turned around and saw Sasuke leaning against the wall with his own cup untouched in his hand.

"Why?" Gaara asked, looking back down at the drink. Naruto wouldn't try to poison him, would he?

Sasuke sighed, causing Gaara to look back up at him. "It's alcoholic," he mumbled. "And unless you want to start acting like one of those morons." He nodded to everyone else in the room. "I'd stay away from the stuff."

"Hn," Gaara nodded, before putting the cup down on the table. He didn't fancy acting like some drunk teenager. "Thanks," he mumbled as he leant against the wall next to the raven haired boy.

"No problem," he sighed. "At least I'll have one person that I'll be able to talk to tonight. It won't be long until everyone else is out of it."

Gaara gazed around the room. Some people were dancing, others were laughing and making jokes. He guessed that was what was wrong with Naruto, he'd had a bit too much to drink.

"You don't hate me?" Gaara asked as he looked sideways at Sasuke.

The raven haired boy shrugged. "You've changed."

"And how can you be so sure about that?" Gaara challenged.

Sasuke nodded in Naruto's direction. "He may be a baka, but he has a good sense of judgement about people. I wouldn't ever admit it to him, but if he says you've changed, then I believe him."

"I see," Gaara mumbled in his deep voice as he looked across the room at the blond-haired boy who was dancing around in a group of people to the music. "Do they usually get like this?"

Sasuke shook his head. "Usually Iruka-sensei comes and he never lets Naruto have alcohol at his parties. Kakashi-Sensei came and dragged him off earlier, though. So, as soon as he left, Naruto got his alcohol out… I'm pretty sure Kakashi did it on purpose, he's not stupid."

"Let's play a game! Dattebayo!" Naruto yelled while punching the air.

"What game?" People asked.

Naruto tightened his hands into fists and they shook in front of his face in excitement. "Let's play…" He jumped up and down, punching the air again. "Truth or dare!"

The room filled with moans and laughs of joy.

"Everyone in a circle!" Naruto ordered.

Gaara and Sasuke watched as everyone else sat in a circle in the middle of the room.

"What are they doing?" The red-haired boy asked.

"You've never heard of that stupid game before?"

Gaara shook his head.

"Hn. Don't play it. It's not a game, it's a circle of humiliation and embarrassment. Whoever came up with the idea should have been assassinated."

Naruto appeared in front of the two boys from no where. It was surprising how agile he was still moving even after drinking so much. "Come on, you two. We're playing a game."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "We know, that's why we're over here. You go play your little game, baka. We'll watch."

"Teme!" Naruto growled, before turning to Gaara. "Come on, Gaara. It'll be fun. You've never played before, right?"

Gaara shook his head.

"It's easy. Come on. Sasuke is just scared that I'll beat him."

"Beat me?" Sasuke mumbled. "You don't have a winner at truth or dare, you baka. You just play until everyone's had enough of humiliating themselves."

"Ja, it'll be different this time. We'll have a winner."

"Still not interested."

"You're probably right, Sasuke," Naruto said, fanning a hand at him and puffing up his lips. "You're a sore loser anyway, so it's best if you don't play."

"What was that, Baka!?" Sasuke growled.

"You heard me, Teme!"

Strangely enough, Gaara began to feel uncomfortable standing in the middle of the argument. He cleared his throat to remind them he was still there. "It… can't be… that bad, right?" He mumbled.

Naruto laughed triumphantly. "See? Gaara's playing. If you don't you'll be left over here by yourself!"

"Wait a minute, I didn't say…" Gaara started before being cut off.

"You say that like I'll be bothered." Sasuke rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine. What are these 'different' rules then?"

"Get in a circle and I'll explain."

Gaara gave Sasuke a look saying 'will this be okay?' Sasuke just shrugged and walked over to the circle.

Gaara sat between Sasuke and Naruto. He did it on purpose because he couldn't be bothered to listen to their arguing any longer. He knew friends and sibling were supposed to fight over needless things, but this was ridicules.

The circle went, clockwise: Naruto, Gaara, Sasuke, Kiba, Lee, Shikamaru, Shino, Sakura, Ino, Choji, Tenten and Hinata.

"Ja, Neh neh." Naruto said, while placing a bottle in the middle. "We're going to spin the bottle and the person it lands on has to say truth or dare-"

"We know that already, baka," Sasuke interrupted.

"Okay, okay. The rules are. You have to do that truth or dare. Otherwise, you have to do a forfeit, which can be anything the person that originally dared you the dare you didn't do wants it to be."

"That sounds confusing," Ino mumbled.

Sakura nodded in agreement.

Naruto ignored them. "The last person standing wins."

Gaara stared at the empty Sake bottle in the middle of the circle. He didn't really understand how to play, but he wasn't going to make himself look like an idiot and ask someone. He would just wait to see what happened, and pray that it didn't land on him first, seeing that he had no idea what to do if it did.

Naruto grabbed hold of the bottle and span it as fast as he could. Everyone's eyes were glued to the whirling blur in the middle of the floor. Everyone praying it wouldn't land on them.

It started to slow… until it eventually landed on…

"HA!" Naruto Laughed. "Sasuke, truth or dare."

Sasuke crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes, reminding himself why he didn't want to play in the first place. He let out a long sigh before answering. He wasn't going to tell the truth about something which would probably be embarrassing, so he only had one choice. "Dare," his deep voice echoed around the silent room.

"A-ha!" Naruto yelled while slamming a full bottle of sake down on the floor in front of Sasuke, who just stared at it blankly. "I dare you to drink this whole bottle."

Sasuke snorted. "You must be joking."

"Nope. Bottoms up."

Sasuke growled under his breath before picking the bottle up and taking off the top. He looked down at the liquid before bringing it slowly to his lips. He was going to kill Naruto for this. He wasn't used to drinking, so he knew he would probably feel it in the morning.

"Chug, chug, chug," the rest of the circle chanted, apart from Gaara who watched in amazement as Sasuke took the bottle in his mouth and started gulping down the liquid from inside.

When the whole bottle was empty, Sasuke banged it on the wooden floor and wiped his lips. "Done," he mumbled.

The circle fell silent. Naruto's lips flicked into a small smile, before spreading out into a wide grin, then turning into a fit of laughter.

"What?" Sasuke spat as Naruto rolled around the floor, holding onto his sides.

"You… weren't… supposed to actually do it… Teme," Naruto said between giggles.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes as Naruto lifted the bottle and showed him the percentage. His mouth fell open.

"It's 80% alcohol, you were meant to read the volume and give up," Naruto burst out into another fit of laughter as Sasuke took the bottle and stared at it in shock. 80 per cent alcohol. Shit! He growled and tightened his grip on the bottle. He felt fine at the moment, but he knew as time past by he would start to feel it more by the second. That's the problem with alcohol, it snuck up on you in the end.

He reached across the floor and span the bottle before the alcohol kicked in and he didn't know which way was up.

The blur in the middle of the floor slowed again. Gaara didn't like the point to this game. They'd made Sasuke drink a whole bottle of 80% sake. God knows what they'd make him do.

This time it landed on the blond-haired, big mouth of the room.

"Truth or dare?" Sasuke asked with a smirk. He noticed the room began to feel warm. Shit.

Naruto looked deep in thought for a moment. "Truth. There's no way I'm letting you dare me to do something. I'll probably end up dead."

"Wise choice," Sasuke mumbled. "Is it true…" He thought about it for a moment, he was going to come up with a good one, and knowing Naruto's state at the moment, he'd probably answer honestly, which is something no one ever actually does in truth or dare. A dark smirk planted on his lips and he waited until the blond-boy had finished his smaller bottle of sake before asking him. Naruto was completely red in the cheeks now. He was drunk. "Is it true…" Oh, how he was going to savour this moment, he knew what the truth was, but no one else did. "That you're gay."

The room fell silent and only a few quiet murmurs were heard. Naruto looked at Sasuke in shock. He may have been drunk, but he couldn't believe he would do that to him. He'd confined in Sasuke a couple of months back about it. He promised never to tell anyone… Naruto scratched the back of his neck… even though, technically this wasn't telling anyone, it was making him tell everyone. He was going to kill Sasuke for this.

Naruto mumbled something almost silently.

"What was that?" Sasuke asked, holding his ear out to the boy.

Naruto opened another bottle of drink, he was going to need this. "I said… yes. Okay, you happy now, Teme?"

"Extremely."

"You're gay!" Ino yelled. "But how?"

"You can't control the spring time of youth," a very drunk Lee started to say. "He can not control who he has feelings for."

"Someone shut him up," Naruto mumbled.

Kiba knocked him over the back of the head.

"How troublesome," Shikamaru mumbled in his almost sober state. He'd stayed silent for a reason - hoping that no one would notice he wasn't as drunk as anyone else.

"You can't be gay," Sakura shouted. "I thought you had a crush on me?"

Naruto grinned and fanned his hand at her. "Cover up."

"What!" She yelled. "You used me as a cover up!"

Naruto leant across the circle to spin the bottle again.

Sasuke's head began to spin. It seemed to be spinning almost as fast as the sake bottle in the middle of the room was. He felt like he was going to be sick. He was definitely going to kill that baka for this in the morning. He could feel the red taint on his cheek and his tongue become looser.

Gaara had remained silent for a long time. He didn't want to get involved in the arguments and was hoping everyone would forget he was there, so maybe he could sneak away from the game… he narrowed his eyes. No such luck…

"Your turn Gaara, truth or dare."

Everyone sat in silence waiting for him to come up with a decision. He thought about it for a while. He didn't really have anything to tell the truth about, nothing embarrassing anyway.

"Come on, Gaara," Sasuke said. "Stop looking like a deer caught in headlights. Truth or dare?"

"Dare," he mumbled.

--------------------------------------------

Okay. I wasn't going to, but I'm going to leave it there. This isn't going to be a truth or dare fanfic, it was only meant to last for the first chapter, but it seems like it's going to stretch onto half way through the second chapter as well.

Please R&R Thank you
