Summary: "Let's play a game! Whoever wins gets to kiss Sasuke-kun!" A seemingly innocent game turned out to be a whole lot more; Sasuke and Naruto were just about to find out why. M Rated, Yaoi.

Comments & Author's Notes: Un-beta'd and AU. Please read, review, follow n' favourite! Usually I base my fics on other stories, but this one's purely original and created by me…for once. Confused? Review and I'll answer you're questions. I'll adjust any pairings and add in characters according to you guys. I'm working on my characterisation skills, so please, have mercy on me. Sometimes I get some comments that dishearten be, but I'll do my best and hopefully this will suffice.

This is kinda like the prologue, so bare with me here! ;D Oh, and this is just a short, fluffy fic. Nothing complex about it, just for a light read. A little bit of drama here and there, but that's about it. So please don't write hate on me here... T.T *panics*

Anyways,

Thank you for reading!

Now, on with the story…

Let's Play a Game

Chapter 1: Let's Play

"Let's play a game! The fastest person to drink their lemonade is the winner and the winner gets to kiss Sasuke-kun!" Sakura announced to her friends, eyes alight with intense competition; fists up in challenge. Everyone shared worried glances.

How did it turn out this way?

It was a normal lunch time at KonohaHigh School and the gang was sat at their usual table outdoors, watching the sun shine brightly overhead.

"Ne, Sakura-chan, can I have that piece of cake?" The blond inquired sweetly, reaching out for Sakura's homemade dessert without hesitation; not waiting for permission from the pink haired girl.

"Hands off, Naruto. This cake's for Sasuke-kun!" She ignored the hurt look on the other's face and turned to Sasuke, batting her eyelashes and twirling her hair flirtatiously, obviously ignoring the distaste in the raven's eyes. "Sasuke-kun, w-would you like some cake?"

Ignoring the bubblegum girl completely, Sasuke let out a muffled reply of, "Don't eat sweets." and continued to eat his sandwich; sipping diet coke leisurely. Sakura shrugged and returned to eating her lunch.

Next time, Sakura, next time. Sasuke is obviously just being tsundere about his feelings! Inner Sakura mentally cheered; pompoms at the ready. She was interrupted from her daydream by Naruto's voice.

"Ne, Sakura-chan, since Sasuke-teme doesn't want your cake, why can't I-?"

"No! You're not having any!"

Naruto looked at her with large, blue, puppy-dog eyes and she sighed, letting out a breath of defeat. "Fine, but just a little bit."

"Yay, thanks Sakura-chan!" The blond eagerly took the piece of cake, scoffing it down and licking his lips hungrily. "Delicious! This cake's the best I've ever tasted, dattebayo!" He turned to Sasuke, who was trying his hardest to ignore them, blocking out their voices as best as he could.

"It's your loss, Sasuke-teme!"

"Whatever, dobe."

Eye twitching angrily, Naruto let out a war cry,"What did you call me, bastard?!"

"Shut it, usuratonkachi."

The gang continued to eat peacefully, arguing with one another and talking at a friendly pace, ignoring Naruto's hyperactive gestures.

Shikamaru tutted and muttered 'troublesome'; Choji stuffed his cheeks, intent on eating as much as he could. Kiba didn't pay attention, too busy grinning at his lunch, while Shino began talking to a random insect that fell on Ino's lap, causing the blonde to stand up and scream, only to find that it had gone into her hair. This caused her to hyperventilate.

Hinata and her cousin, Neji, talked quietly at the sidelines as Lee tried to woo Sakura, only to face rejection repeatedly. TenTen chatted politely and eloquently with Neji - who was watching Gaara glare into the distance. His siblings, Kankuro and Temari spoke discreetly, not to be overheard by an overly-interested Sai.

Sakura broke their conversations with a loud declaration.

"I'm having a sleepover tomorrow, since it's Friday. And you're all invited! My parents are away this weekend, since they're on a business trip," She stated, "You'll come then, won't you Sasuke-kun?" Said raven turned away, clearly showing no interest in the matter unless a certain someone was involved, of course.

"Shut up, billboard-brow. Why would Sasuke-kun wanna come to your house? Obviously he'd want to come to mine." Ino interrupted, baring her fangs. She liked the competition with Sakura, purely for amusement, and getting under the other's skin was her guilty pleasure.

"Like hell, Ino-pig!" The pink haired girl pounced onto Ino, claws and teeth raving to rip her to shreds, her eyes glinted as they wrestled into the grass, as if this were an everyday occurrence.

"Cat-fight!" Kiba called, whistling mockingly.

Kakashi and Iruka shouted from their spot on the teacher's table. "Okay, okay, break it up you two." The silver haired man muttered, not bothering to look up from his beloved book.

"Now, now, Sakura-chan, Ino-chan. No fighting." Iruka scolded. Kakashi's visible eye became an upturned 'u' from beneath his orange book as he found a rather…inventive position he wanted to try. Sakura and Ino bowed respectfully and spoke in unison, "Yes, Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei." The two teachers returned to their conversation at the table, beside Tsunade, Jiraiya and Gai – the hyperactive sensei waving at Lee, teeth sparkling.

The two girls continued to snarl at each other from afar.

"I'll come." Naruto chided.

Kiba nodded, pumping a fist into the air, "Yeah, count me in!"

"I would love to spend my youthful days with you, dear Sakura-chan." Everyone turned to Lee, who winked and flashed an over-enthusiastic smile. Almost everyone broke into laughter and agreed they'd be there. Even Sasuke allowed himself to be dragged into this mess.

Yet he didn't know that this sleepover would change his life - for the better and for the worst.

It was Friday evening and the gang headed for Sakura's house, chatting excitedly and laughing amongst each other, some more than others. Sasuke glared a hole into Naruto's back, mentally commanding him to shut up – the blonde had been bugging Sakura for the whole afternoon.

Sakura's clearly not interested in you, for Kami sake. So do me a favour and keep your mouth closed. He didn't know why, but for some reason, the raven felt…jealous? He brushed the thought aside. Why the fuck would I be jealous of that dobe? Something's going wrong with me here.

They arrived shortly after, since the pink-haired girl's house was not far from their school and climbed the stairs towards Sakura's oversized bedroom.

"What're we gonna do now?" Ino pestered, irritated that she didn't get to sit beside her Sasuke-kun. Sakura smirked maliciously.

"Why don't we play a game?"

"Seriously, billboard-brow? A game? How old are you?"

The pink-haired girl grinned sadistically, evading Ino's question. Her eyes lit up. "Everyone sit in a circle." She commanded. Not wanting to get on the girl's bad side, they shifted into a circle.

"So, what game are we playing, hm?" Sai raised an eyebrow.

She began to tell them of her game. "Well, we're gonna play a game…"

"-Get on with it, oversized-forehead!-"

Sakura's vein ticked at the side of her temple, but she continued. "…and what we have to do is simple. Downstairs, I have hundreds of cans of lemonade that I need to get rid of, before they go passed their sell-by date. The idea is: whoever drinks their whole can of lemonade first wins!"

"But I don't like lemonade…" Someone muttered.

"Quit whining." Sakura snapped, "Sasuke-kun, do you want to play?"

"Hn. Whatever." The raven didn't look up from the book he was revising with, and continued to lounge against the foot of her bed. Sakura took that as a positive and contemplated the rules.

"Ah! I've got it, whoever drinks their lemonade is the winner and the winner has to kiss the loser."

"Not interested." Sasuke whispered, his voice uncaring and barely audible; he didn't bother to hide his disinterest this time.

"Fine, I've got it!" Ino squealed, "The winner has to kiss Sasuke-kun!"

"No. Way." Sasuke protested.

"Too late, it's already decided!"

Shikamaru sighed, looking away and retorting, "How troublesome." before watching Ino from the side of his eyes lazily.

"What if a boy wins?"

Sakura ignored the question, confident that she would win. "Okay, wait here. I'm gonna go get the lemonade." With that, the girl disappeared down the stairs.

She returned not long after, her arms cradling thousands of cans of lemonade. Dumping them on her bed with a 'thump', she let out a string of curse words. "Shit, that's cold."

"Weakling." Ino teased, smiling to herself.

"What. Did. You. Say?" Sakura emphasised each word, her aura threatening. The blonde smiled sweetly, an insult falling from her mouth as if it were perfectly normal.

"I said 'weakling', bitch."

"That's it, get out of my house you-!"

Sakura and Ino were pinned back by Lee, Sai, TenTen and Hinata.

"C-calm down, S-Sakura-chan, Ino-chan…" Hinata stuttered, her voice trembling. It was always like this with them, and that's how it was. Just like with Sasuke and Naruto, an argument was like a conversation to them. And if there were no arguments, there were no conversations.

When they had calmed down, Naruto shouted an "Okay, let's get this over with!" and sat back leisurely, wanting to sleep; Sasuke glancing at the blond from the corner of his eyes, the other's shirt revealing his v-line as he lifted sun-kissed arms.

And while these events transpired, the same thoughts ran through both the girls minds:

I will win.

Thus the game began.

To be continued…

Have I made each character clear? Not all the characters are important in this chapter, so I just mentioned them. This is sort of like the prologue, so the actual story hasn't gotten going yet. I hope it's not too short. Thanks to everyone who read, I appreciate it. I'll update soon! Chapter 2, coming next.
