I do not own Naruto. Naruto is the sole property of Misashi Kishimoto.
My apologies (again) for not updating. I lost all interest in the story and felt it would benefit more if I waited and wrote when I felt passionate about it again. Thank you for staying interested though!
Dare to Tell the Truth
New mission: Keep everyone entertained without having proper games. Seeing as all of the games I picked have to do with doing the do without a single girl here. Not my kind of thing, of course, but I panicked!
The guys spread out around me. Sasuke remained perched on the edge of the sofa while Rock Lee, Shino, and I occupied the couch cushions. Neji and Shikamaru took two cushions out of the bedroom and sat them down on the ground around the table. Shino and Kiba seemed content to sit on the ground.
"Alright, so who's going first?" I asked somewhat hesitantly.
"Since it was Rock Lee's idea, I say he goes first," Kiba said.
"That sounds about right. But it was Naruto's fault that we had to play Truth or Dare in the first place. If he had picked decent games that weren't about romance we could be playing some games without having to make things up as we go," Shikamaru responded.
"True. So, Naruto or Rock Lee. Which of you two will go?" Chouji asked.
Rock Lee pointed at me. I pointed at him.
Nobody wants to go first at Truth or Dare. The standards haven't been set. As Rock Lee would say, the youth hasn't been set up yet. Going first is hard in anything, but especially Truth or Dare.
"Rock, paper, scissors for it," Sasuke recommended.
"That'll work. No cheating," Neji stated.
"Right! Rock, paper, scissors!" Lee shouted. "Such a youthful way of determining position!"
"Alright. On a count of three. One. Two. Three!" I shouted.
I shot paper. Rock Lee shot rock.
"I win. You go first!"
"Alright, fine. Neji, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Is it true that you like Tenten?"
"No. Nope, not true at all," Neji stammered.
"Neji, you have to tell the truth!" Kiba shouted, laughing.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. I don't know," Neji admitted, glaring. "Now shut up, Kiba."
A pillow sailed across the room, smacking Kiba in the face.
"Next," Neji called out. "Sasuke, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to... I dare you to re-enact the day you met Naruto."
"What do you mean?"
"The world-famous kiss."
"You want me to kiss him?"
"I dared you to. Unless, of course, you're intimidated by that prospect."
"What do I get out of this?" I asked, glaring. "I don't wanna kiss the teme."
"You have to. It's part of the dare, Naruto," Kiba responded, laughing once more.
"Fine, fine. I'll do it if he will," I pouted.
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Are we going to do this or are you going to pout?" Sasuke asked, moving closer.
"I would prefer to pout, but seeing as we have no other choice, just do it. Get it over with," I groaned.
His lips pressed against mine briefly.
"Next. Naruto, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Good. Call Sakura and tell her you love her."
"Sasuke!"
"Do it!" Kiba shouted. "It's Truth or Dare. You picked dare. Do it!"
I sighed, pushing myself off of the couch and heading towards my phone. I dialed Sakura's number. After several rings, a voice answered, "Hello, this is Sakura's home, you're speaking to Ino. Speak."
"Ino, hey, yeah, can I talk to Sakura?" I mumbled.
"Who are you?"
"Naruto."
"Naruto! Um, you know we're busy here, right?"
"Yeah, yeah. I figured you were. Is Sakura there though? It'll be quick, I promise."
"Sure, I guess," Ino rambled off before shouting, "Sakura! Phone!"
Squealing ensued before static noise overtook the phone. A few moments later, another voice answered. "Hello? Is this Naruto?"
"Yeah, Sakura, hi."
"Did you call just to say hi?"
"No, no. I actually called to..."
"To...?"
I turned to the guys. They nodded and waved me off. "I called to tell you that I kind of love you."
Silence.
More silence.
So much silence that even breathing wasn't audible.
"Sakura?"
"Don't call me. We'll talk later."
Click.
I groaned. "Sasuke! She said we'd talk later. What does that even mean?"
Shino sighed. "It means you interrupted her party for something that annoyed her."
"She's so going to beat you up the next time she sees you!" Kiba shouted. "And you totally just changed the entire mood of the party. I bet they're talking about you right now!"
My cheeks turned crimson. "Next." I waited for the laughter to calm down before speaking again, "Next. Alright, Rock Lee, truth or dare?"
"Truth!"
"Is it true that you like Sakura?"
"Yes! She is the epitome of youthfulness!"
Kiba laughed. "We already knew that, Naruto!"
"Next," I said.
Rock Lee blushed. "Alright. Shino, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to sit on Kiba's lap."
"What is this, a girls' slumber party? Come on, we're men. Do something manly!" Kiba ranted, a blush spreading across his cheeks. "I do not want another guy on my lap for any reason."
"It's a dare, you have to!" Chouji shouted, giggling.
Shino stood up and nonchalantly strolled to Kiba's side. "Are we going to do this or no?"
Kiba groaned. "Please no."
"You made me let Sasuke kiss me, you have to let Shino sit on your lap!" I interjected.
"I seriously hate you so much, Naruto. You will never ever know or understand just how much I hate you."
"Do it!" Chouji shouted.
"Gosh, this so boring. Can't we just sleep?" Shikamaru asked.
"I agree," chorused Neji and Sasuke.
I grinned. "Alright. What else do you want to do?"
"I want food!" Chouji shouted.
"Can we please just sleep?" Shikamaru inquired again.
"How about a movie?" Kiba volunteered.
"Or a board game," Shino said.
"We cannot play the games Naruto brought. They're awful!" Kiba shouted.
"Let's get some food, and we can discuss it after we eat!" Rock Lee chimed in.
The guys nodded in agreement.
"Sounds good."
