Chapter 2: Confessions and Questions

Even after everyone had stopped teasing him about his dare, Neji still felt the need to glare at everyone, although it was more directed at Ino than anyone else. He backed away quickly as he felt someone's hot breath run down his neck. His glare intensified as he saw that Naruto was the one who had been so close to him. Before anything rude could be said, Naruto quickly made a motion for him to come closer. Everyone watched as Neji brought his face closer to the loudmouth blonde's. The group watched as the stoic Hyuuga's head had been turned to the side by the orange clad ninja.

Nobody heard what was said between the two. Soon enough the two turned, one smirking, the other with a goofy grin spread across his face.

"Sai," he had the group's undivided attention now, " Truth or dare?"

Sai's fake smile had crept its way to his lips, "Dare."

"I dare you.. to express your feelings to any one person in this room..."

Sai's fake smile faltered. He was going to have a tough time with this dare. Hes never really thought about his feelings, not counting the times his teammates tried to get him to name at least one of his paintings.

He sighed, looking at the expecting faces of his friends. He turned toward the platinum blonde in the room, clearing his throat as he thought of something, anything, to say. Awkwardly he began his 'confession', "Ino, um, well..." he paused, thinking, he finished with a lame, "I like you."

Ino smiled, taking his words to heart. "Well, you're in luck! I.. like you too. BUT, you're gonna have to try a lot harder than that to get me to even think of going out with you."

After her statement, she gave him a quick peck on the cheek. The four girls in the room 'aww'd and giggled at the display.

Neji's deep voice stopped their little giggle fest, "Could you please stop with whatever it is you're doing so we can get back to the game?"

Tenten snorted, teasingly poking him in the side, "Aww, what got you so grumpy?"

Rolling his eyes at her he grunted, "Sai didn't even get the slightest bit embaressed..."

He looked over to Naruto to find him pouting slightly at the outcome of the dare.

The weapons mistress hadn't heard his response. She narrowed her eyes at him, it was more of a curious gaze, as she asked him to clarify what he had just said.

Shaking his head he told her, "It was nothing. Anyway, it's Sai's turn."

"Oh, Tenten-san, truth or dare?" His fake smile had found it way back to his lips after asking her the question.

She contemplated what to choose. They watched as she grimaced, opened her mouth, closed it, and then opened it again giving her answer, "truth, I guess..."

"Ok" he thought a bit, "what is the most personal secret you can think of?"

Naruto being his loudmouthed self had to tell everyone his opinion about what the artist had just said, while laughing, "Duuude, it sounded like you were a girl at a sleepover asking her friend who she liked!"

"Ha ha" came the sarcastic reply from Sai.

Ignoring the interuption, Tenten told them, "I guess it would be that when I'm alone, I sing. I don't really keep many secrets..."

"Are you serious? That's your secret?" Ino asked, not believing that that was her secret.

"Well yeah, I just said I don't have many secrets." The brunette replied, sighing. Her eyes brightened as she remembered something, she deemed quite important to her and the other girls, "Heey, Sakura? Why are you so quiet? You've barely said a word since we've been here."

The pinkette looked a bit surprised before answering her, "I've just been thinking about some things, sorry..."

Ino piped up having thought about what could have possibly kept her thinking for such a long time, "What about? Sasuke?" She smiled deviously as her friend stuttered and became slightly red in the face, out of anger or embarrassment, she didn't know.

"N-no! I wasn't! He was, and, well, um, n-never! No, not at all!"

"No need to get defensive... but come on, we are best friends. You know it impossible to hide secrets from me. What did he do?" She came to the conclusion that it was Sasuke's fault she was so quiet. There was a scoff heard after she had said what she did.

Shaking her head, she rested her hands on her red cheeks, slightly muffling what she told her, "I don't wanna talk about it."

The girls deflated at how she had sounded, glaring at the Uchiha before Hinata spoke up, "S-sakura-chan, please tell us what happened..."

Well. A;lsghllakjf I just can't. I want to punch my younger self in the face. I think at the end of most of these there's always 'cliffie!' in the author's comment. I truthfully thought that there were at the very least paragraphs. But no. Just a big clump of words. Welp, gonna get started on the next one now.

If there are any spelling or grammar errors, feel free to tell me.
