Chapter 4
Plan B: Bring Out the Pudding!
"GAHHHhhhhhhhhhhh" Ino yelled as she crumpled up another piece of paper.
Ino was sitting at the regular lunch table writing something up. So far, she had thrown about 7 balls of paper behind her and the boy that was sitting there, seemed extremely pissed. Did it bother Ino? No way. She brought out a fresh page and started tapping her pencil on the paper. Lightbulb! She quickly started to jot down some notes.
"What are you doing-" Tenten asked before she was cut off by an annoying yell from Ino.
"I'M TRYING TO WORK HERE!"
Tenten sighed and sat down beside her. Everyone had finished their lunch and was now wandering the halls, minding their own business.
"What are you working on?" she asked again.
"Plan B. We have to find a way to bring them together."
"Yes, but don't you think you're taking this a bit too overboard?" Tenten rolled her eyes.
"No. I'm just trying to help." she smiled crookedly and showed Tenten what she had planned out. "Okay, so this is what we do. We go to a witch doctor, get some magic potions and slip it in their drinks when I invite them for dinner." she cackled evilly as Tenten sweatdropped.
"You...need a break." she tried to drag Ino by the arm but Ino just smacked Tenten's hand away.
Ino banged her head on the table lightly. "I need my boyfriend!" she tiredly droned.
Ironically, Shikamaru came walking through the lunchroom door and started searching for Ino. Kiba, Hinata and Naruto followed.
"Hey Ino." Shikamaru said sitting beside his girlfriend.
"Shikamaru!" Ino yelled as she latched onto his neck.
He kissed her forehead and asked her what she was doing here.
"I'm trying to plan out Plan B, but-" she was cut off by a very loud feminine scream from the other end of the lunchroom. The noisy lunchroom suddenly went quiet as everyone turned to see what the commotion was.
There stood Chouji, screaming his ass off, in a very non-masculin way. Tenten's eyes went wide as she quickly ran beside her friend to try and cover up for him.
"THAT was PERFECT Chouji. Next time, try and be funnier by adding a bit more UMPH into it. We will get an A+ for sure." she nervously grinned as he slowly nodded his head in agreement.
The lunchroom returned to its normal state as Tenten walked back to the table with Chouji.
"WOAH, CHOUJI! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A BOY!" Naruto laughed.
Tenten whacked the back of Naruto's head as she sat down beside him.
"What was that all about, Chouji?" Ino calmly asked.
He looked really nervous and was breathing quite hard. (Maybe from the walk back to the table?) He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper.
"I found this on the floor." he mumbled as he sat down on the lunch bench.
Kiba picked it up and as soon as he read it, he sweatdropped.
"A...pudding fair? You screamed cause you want to go to a pudding fair?" he asked blankly.
Everyone else sweatdropped; even Akamaru.
"Yes! It has been my dream since childhood!" Chouji smiled. "Can we go? PLEASE?"
"Well, we kinda have to plan the next step to get Sakura and-" Hinata began.
"AHA! I'VE GOT IT." Ino had read the small slip of paper that Chouji had, and was now smiling widely. "THIS, is where Plan B will take place!"
"What the hell, Ino?" Tenten asked.
Chouji smiled hugely. (Is that even a word?)
"The pudding convention has been famous for the last 25 years. We offer rides, attractions and best of all pudding." Ino read. "Don't you guy's see? It's a fair and who do people see most at fairs?"
"Clowns?" Naruto asked stupidly.
Tenten sighed. "No Naruto. You see couples."
"EXACTLY!" Ino belted out; scaring all her friends. "We'll just hook them up on the rides and such. They have to get together!"
"If you say so Ino." Kiba muttered.
"Hey guys!" Sakura had come through the lunchroom door and was calling to them. "Having a deep conversation I see. What are we talking about?" she smiled, as she sat down beside Hinata.
"U-um, nothing Sakura." Hinata stuttered.
"Oh poo. How boring!" she sighed in sarcasm (is that even possible?) and then laughed it off. Everyone else started laughing; nervously.
----------------
"And now presenting our two special guests. Please welcome Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha." the annoucer spoke sponatneously.
The crowd cheered wildly.
Sasuke grabbed Sakura's hand and led her to the dance floor. The music then dimmed and some fancy spanish music turned on. Sasuke grabbed her hand and twirled her rapidly. She grinned as he then brought her close. He turned her so her back pressed up against his body. Then he pressed his lips against her neck and slowly followed her arm as it made some pretty dance movement. She felt a ticklish sensation but remained in character of the dance. She quickly pulled away and faced him. She slowly walked towards him and grabbed the tie he was wearing. She twirled it around her finger and brought his face close to hers. Blowing him a kiss she let go of his tie and whipped around facing the opposite way. Before she could complete her next dance move, he grabbed her arm and brought her close.
This isn't part of the dance.
"Sakura..." he whispered. Following the beat of the music, he grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly. She gasped in pain and started to sink to the ground. The audience cheered! Though, it wasn't part of the dance, the music matched perfectly with their little predicament. He wrapped his arm around her waist and brought her up slowly. Then he whipped her fiercly to face him. He carrassed her face and pushed back her hair. He slowly forced his hand down her arm and held her hand. She, staying with the beat of the music, entwined her fingers through his.
"Sasuke..." she whispered. He smiled and as the music came to a steady ending, he grabbed her waist and slowly let her lean backwards, supporting her with his arm. As the lights dimmed, he helped her up and pressed his lips against hers. The crowd went wild! They threw flowers, money, heck anything they could find! Sakura was too busy kissing Sasuke to notice. He then started to deepen the kiss.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Sakura had set her alarm extra early because Ino had told her that they were going to some pudding fair today. She leaned over and turned her alarm off. She didn't mind the dream this time. It wasn't that bad. She smiled to herself and felt her hand touch her lips. As soon as she noticed what she was doing, she brought her hand away and started to stretch her arms out.
God. What's wrong with me? Why do I keep having these wierd dreams? That little loser.
She yawned as she walked to the bathroom.
Time to go to a fair.
She rolled her eyes at the thought and shut the door behind her.
----------------
"Where are we going again?" Sasuke mumbled as he stopped by Sakura's house.
"A PUDDING FAIR!" Naruto squealed. He had seemed extremely happy this morning.
"And why am I awake at 8:30 in the morning?" he yawned.
"BECAUSE THE FAIR IS TWO HOURS AWAY!" Naruto yelled.
"SHUT UP NARUTO. I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" Tenten screamed.
"WHY COULDN'T WE GO TO SOME LOCAL FAIR?" Sasuke shouted over the noise.
"WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SHATTER CHOUJI'S DREAM?" Naruto shouted back.
Through all the shouting, they hadn't noticed Sakura open the door to the front seat. Tenten had especially reserved that seat for her. Part 1 of the plan was taking action.
Everyone went quiet as she got into the car.
"Good morning guys." she smiled as she put on her seatbelt.
"Good morning. Good. Now all we need is Neji and we can go." Tenten squealed in delight.
Sasuke sighed and drove to Neji's house. Once him and Hinata had come out of the house, Neji went into Sasuke's car while Hinata went into Shikamaru's van. Naruto sighed as he saw Hinata climb into the van but he quickly shook it off and put on his idiotic smile.
"Aww, Naruto! Do you want Hinata to come and sit here?" Sakura was smiling at Naruto.
"No! I'm fine!" he blushed and slouched into his seat.
"No! You want her to, I can see it!" With that she climbed out of the car and opened the door to Shikamaru's van. After a bit of argueing with Ino, who seemed to be pursuaing her to sit in Sasuke's car, Hinata climbed out of the van and climbed into Sasuke's car. She sat where Sakura was supposed to be sitting and put on her seatbelt.
"YOU IDIOT! Look at what you did!" Tenten whispered harshly to Naruto.
He smiled nervously and slouched even deeper into his chair.
"Is everyone happy now?" Sasuke grumbled. Without getting an answer, he started the ignition and started the trip to the Pudding Fair.
------------------------
Two hours later, the whole gang parked by the fair and stepped out of their vehicle.
"NARUTO! YOU DROOLED ALL OVER ME!" Tenten yelled as she got out of the car with crossed arms. It seemed that Naruto had decided to sleep through the whole trip.
"Huh? Oh. Sorry." He rubbed his eyes, and climbed out of the car.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and glanced at the entrance of the fair. Casually, he stuck his hands in his pockets and walked in; leaving his friends behind.
Finally, they all realized that their friend had left them and they all dashed into the fair after him.
"Sasuke! You don't just leave us like that." Sakura angrily yelled at him.
"Oh my god. Why did you guys bring me here?" Sasuke plainly asked without listening to Sakura.
She sighed and turned to see the fair. Her mouth dropped. Everything, was pudding based. Sure, it was called a pudding fair, but did they have to be that literal? The food, the rides, the people (No. I'm kidding. Scratch that.), everything. Every little detail, was about pudding. Ino sighed in relief once she saw people her age laughing and doing the activities. Atleast they weren't the only ones. Chouji, on the other hand of everyone else, squealed with delight. His dream, was finally coming true. He was about to dash off to one of the eating contests when Ino grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him back into their circle of friends.
"Guys, let's sit down somewhere. I'm pretty hungry and Tenten packed a nice brunch for us to eat."
Naruto's stomach grumbled and he instantly agreed to Ino's suggestion. "Good idea. Let's go."
Sakura smiled and followed her friends to a seating area. Sasuke tagged along. Little did they know that Part 2 was about to take place.
--------------------------
"That was delicious Tenten. I loved the ramen." Naruto said patting his stomach.
"I hope you mean, you loved everything." Sasuke grumbled.
"Ya. You ate most of the food you pig." Shikamaru lazily shouted. Then he casually lay down on the grass. They had decided to sit on the grass at the picnic center of the fair.
Ino smiled and started brushing her fingers through her boyfriend's hair. Then, she shot an evil glare at Hinata. Hinata's eyes widened and then she cleared her throat.
"G-guys, i-i'm bored. Let's play a g-game." she smiled as she finished her sentence. It was like she had been rehearsing the line all her life.
Ino rolled her eyes and then quickly smiled. "What do you guys wanna play?" she bit her lip as if she was in thought.
"How about...truth or dare?" Shikamaru sat up and smirked.
"I'm in." Neji stated smiling.
Everyone else agreed and sat in a circle. Ino grabbed a bottle from Naruto's hand and emptied the contents of it.
"NO! Not my rootbeer! Why Ino? Why?"
"SHUT UP BAKA!" she yelled at Naruto. His eyes widened and then she smiled. "Let's play."
"This plan, is definatly getting to her brain." Naruto whispered to Neji as he shook his head in agreement. Then he shrugged and crossed his legs.
"Okay, let's see who goes first." Kiba smiled and spun the bottle. It spun for a few seconds and faced Shikamaru.
"Damn." he shrugged.
"Okay. Truth or dare?" Sakura asked.
"Um, dare." he smiled.
"Okay. Ino. You choose for him." Sakura commanded.
"Fine. I dare you to kiss the tree." she pointed at some ragged looking tree and started laughing.
"Fuck. Fine." he groaned as he lazily got up and went over to the tree. He leaned in close and quickly pecked it and then furiously started rubbing his lips. Everyone started laughing as he slowly walked back to the circle. (When I say everyone. I mean everyone but Sasuke. xD)
"Ew, I hope that isn't the way you kiss Ino! 'Cause that looked damn disgusting!" Kiba said, laughing inbetween.
Shikamaru told him to piss off and then crossed his arms and quickly spun the bottle. It landed on Hinata.
"Okay, Hinata. Truth or Dare?" Shikamaru asked her.
"Um, uh, t-truth." She felt extremely nervous.
What if they ask who I like? Omg.
"I, uh mean, DARE!" she blurted out quickly.
Shikamaru's eyes widened. "Uh, okay then. Neji, give your cousin a dare."
Neji smiled and eyed Hinata. "I want you to..." he paused. "KISS NARUTO!" he blurted out.
Everyone started dieing of laughter. Naruto and Hinata, however, blushed deeply.
"NO WAY!" she blurted out, without stuttering.
"Oh come on Hinata. You have to do it. Fine. You can kiss him on the cheek." Neji shrugged. Seeing his cousin kiss Naruto anyways, was going to be very entertaining.
Hinata sighed and leaned in close to the blond haired boy. Naruto quickly shut his eyes and waited till it was over. Her soft lips pecked at his cheek and within milliseconds, it was over. Hinata blushed furiously and turned away from Naruto. He smiled as everyone almost suffocated of laughter. Sasuke smirked widely.
Quickly, Hinata spun the bottle. It landed on Sasuke.
"Finally." Ino muttered.
"Sasuke. Truth or Dare?" Hinata asked.
"Dare...choose dare." Chouji muttered. The sooner this was settled, the sooner he could go back into the fair.
Sasuke grinned and said, "Dare."
Everyone, but Sakura, smiled widely. He sweatdropped as Hinata started to speak.
"I want Ino to tell him to do something."
Ino smirked and started to pretend like she was thinking of a dare.
"I know!" she yelled. "I dare you to, by the end of this day, to kiss Sakura. On the lips."
Everyone gasped. Obviously, it seemed that the gang, who was involved in this plot, had no idea what the dare would be. As soon as it registered in their heads, they all started laughing. Sakura's eyes widened as she blushed furiously. Sasuke could feel his whole head heat up, but he remained to keep his cool.
Oh fuck. Sakura? Kiss her? No. Why me? Why?
"No way." he muttered.
Neji gasped. "Sasuke, if you don't do this. I'll tell everyone about you-know-what." He smirked evilly as Sasuke's vein popped out of his head. He disgustedly looked at Neji.
Now, he's going to blackmail me? Then again. That incident, was pretty bad. Holy shit. I can't let anyone know about that.
"Fine." he rolled his eyes and then glanced at Sakura. "I'll just get it over with now."
Suddenly, everyone moved in closer to Sasuke and Sakura. With their mouths opened, they watched intently at what was going to happen next.
Sasuke sweatdropped. "I change my mind. I'll do it by the end of the day."
Everyone sighed and moved back. Sakura sighed in relief.
Dammit. he thought.
"Can we go do some stuff at the fair now?" Chouji grumbled.
"Yes. Let's go." Sakura quickly got up and started to head to one of the rides. Everyone got up casually and followed.
------------
Once Chouji reached the activities grounds, he dashed to the eating contest.
"Kiba, go and follow him. Just make sure he doesn't hurt himself." Ino instructed as she watched her chubby friend sign up for the contest.
"Sure thing!" Kiba saluted quickly and dashed off to Chouji.
"What do you want to do first?" Hinata asked her friends.
"Um, me and Shikamaru want to go on a ride alone. I hope you guys don't mind." she smiled and tugged on Shikamaru's shirt. Shikamaru smiled happily unaware of the ride they were going to go on.
"Sure thing. Hinata, Naruto, Tenten, Neji, Sasuke and I will go on the ferris wheel." Sakura smiled as Ino and Shikamaru walked away.
"I love ferris wheels!" Tenten grinned as they walked to the line-up.
"AW MAN! HUGE LINEUP!" Naruto sighed as they waited.
They all stood in line awaiting their turn.
"I think only 2 people can ride per seat. Hinata, will you ride with me?" Tenten asked her friend.
"Sure thing. It'll b-be fun!" she answered.
"Naruto. I'll ride with you." Neji rolled his eyes as he said this.
"REALLY? YAY!" he jumped up and attempted a high five to Neji. Neji just stood watching his friend jump and then landing on the floor. Naruto quickly got up and brushed off the specs of dirt.
Sakura pouted and then sighed. Again, she had to do something with Sasuke. The dare was definatly enough. She shook it off and smiled at Sasuke who just nodded his head and turned away.
She sighed as the line moved ahead.
Finally it was their turns. Neji was definatly glad because once Naruto had fallen he was lecturing Neji, very loudly, on how to be a good friend. Hinata and Tenten sat on first. As the ride jolted upwards, Hinata laughed happily as Tenten admired the view. It was a brilliant sunny day with only a bit of clouds. Neji then went with Naruto. Naruto had stopped his lecture but was now talking about ramen. Neji leaned to the side of the cart and rested his head on his hand. Lastly, it was Sasuke and Sakura's turn. Sasuke let Sakura get in first and then he got in. The lady who was making sure everyone was safe, checked the bar holding them in and smiled a wide smile at them.
"You guys, by far, are one of the best couples i've seen all day. Congrats." she smiled again before giving the ride manager a thumbs up.
Sakura blushed deeply as Sasuke looked away. The ride suddenly jolted upwards and Sakura lost her balance. She fell, leaning against Sasuke. Sasuke sighed and stayed where he was. He didn't really care that she had fallen. He knew it was an accident.
"Sorry, sorry." she mumbled as she helped herself up to a proper sitting position.
Why do I get so nervous when i'm with him?
She sighed and looked out at the view.
"It's so pretty." she mumbled without noticing.
"Just like you." he mumbled back. His eyes widened as soon as he finished his sentence.
WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?
"What?" Sakura turned to him with curiosity in her eyes.
"I said," he paused. ",just like blue." he muttered.
"You like the colour blue?" she smiled at him.
"Yes." he kept his eyes serious, even though he was pretty embarrased.
"Oh. Blue is my favorite colour." she laughed and then turned back to the view.
Sasuke sighed in relief.
Good thing she didn't hear me.
---------------
"WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE GET THIS GUY SOME RAMEN?" Neji yelled as he got off the ferris wheel. Turns out, that during the whole ride he hadn't shut up about ramen.
Hinata glanced around the fair for a ramen stand. All she could find was pudding.
"I-i don't think they sell ramen here." she muttered.
Naruto sighed and tried to spot Kiba and Chouji. He saw them still by the eating contest. Could that guy ever stop?
"Look! Paint-ball!" Sakura exclaimed as they were walking around.
"I think it says pudding-ball." Neji said as Sakura squinted her eyes to read the sign. (The sign was far away. No. Sakura is not blind.)
"Oh." she muttered.
"I think it's like paint-ball." Tenten exclaimed as she read the rules on the bulletin board on the outside of the pudding-ball stadium. The stadium was a huge dome. There was no roof, instead it was just a huge wall which covered a big area of the fair. Naruto tried to peer inside the stadium but there weren't any windows.
"Let's do it!" he shouted in excitement.
"It'll be fun!" Tenten agreed as they got in line.
Sasuke smirked. He loved paintball, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he casually walked to the line.
"Where's Ino and Shikamaru?" Sakura asked trying to locate her friends. "I can't see them anywhere."
"Does it matter?" Sasuke grumbled.
Sakura rolled her eyes and stopped searching.
----------------
"He hasn't made a move yet!" Ino exclaimed as she peered into her binoculars. As soon as she dragged Shikamaru away, they hid behind a bush and started spying on them. Shikamaru, unaware of her little "plan", followed happily but he was the total opposite of happy now.
"I'm bored Ino. Let's go on a ride together." he mumbled.
"Shut up. I'm trying to see if he's going to do it!"
Shikamaru sighed. He lay down on the grass and started staring at the clouds.
"Oh, look! He's moving in closer to her now. Maybe he's going to- Nope. Nevermind."
Shikamaru rolled his eyes and sat up. He turned to Ino and put on a small smirk. Slowly he brought his fingers to her arm and starting walking his fingers up her arm. (ooc?) Obviously annoyed, Ino whacked his hand away.
"Stop!" she yelled.
"Fine! I'm leaving." Shikamaru scolded as he got up and walked away.
Ino gave a half-hearted wave and returned to her binoculars.
------------------
Everyone was putting on their puddingball gear, happily, as Sasuke was having an inner battle with himself.
What if I just kiss her now? It'll be okay cause it's a dare. No, what if she hates me after? Why do I care if she hates me after? I'll do it.
"Sasuke, are you ready?" It was Sakura.
No. I can't do it, but now's the perfect opportunity. Be a man, Sasuke.
He turned to Sakura and gave her a long stare. She stared back, smiling. He quickly glanced to his friends, who were too busy putting on their equipment.
They aren't watching. Do it quickly.
He leaned in slowly. Sakura's eyes widened and then she shut them. He almost completed his task when someone called Sakura's name. He quickly got up as the rest of the gang turned to see who had called Sakura. Sakura, opened her eyes slowly and turned also.
"Sakura! Hi!"
"Oh, hey Lee." she smiled awkwardly.
Sasuke sighed. It was that loser Rock-Lee. He shoved his hands in his pockets and casually went to the puddingball equipment.
"Sakura! I didn't know you would be here." He smiled hugely and gave Sakura a huge hug.
Sakura grimaced and hugged back, smiling crookedly. The hug lasted pretty long and by the end, Sakura's eye was twitching.
"So, what are you doing here?" she asked as kindly as she could. Truth was that she couldn't stand the guy, but she had to be nice because he wasn't actually a bad person.
"Oh. I was just checking out this place." he casually smiled as he lifted his hands above his head.
"All pudding ballers, please stand in line. You are next." the person who was in charge of the activity shouted.
"Well, I got to go Lee. Bye!" she smiled and then quickly walked to the line. Lee followed.
"I LOVE PUDDING BALL! We'll play together!" he yelled happily as he ran to the pudding ball equipment.
"Dammit." Sakura muttered as she sweatdropped. "But Lee, now our teams won't be even." she protested back as nicely as she could.
"Oh, you're right." he sighed.
Suddenly, a very upset Shikamaru walked up to the equipment and started to, angrily, shove it on.
"Shikamaru, are you okay?" Tenten asked as she noticed her angry friend.
"I'm FINE." he yelled, emphasizing the last word.
"Wh-where's Ino?" Hinata asked kindly.
"I don't care. I don't wanna talk about that bitch, okay?" he shot a glare at Hinata who, very frightened, stepped backwards.
"Now, our teams are even!" Lee happily yelled as he continued putting on the equipment.
Sakura sweatdropped and then glanced at the angry Shikamaru.
I wonder what happened to those two.
"Please step into the dome pudding ballers!" the person at the door to the dome shouted. He opened the door as everyone walked in.
-----------------------
"We need two team captains." the man in the dome instructed. He looked like he was part of the military and he spoke like he was too.
"My name, is Seargeant. Just, Seargeant." he hoarsely roared. "You, and you. Get up here. You will be our captains." he instructed as he pointed at Sasuke and Lee.
Lee happily strolled infront of the rest of the gang. Sasuke casually followed.
"You! Choose someone." Seargeant instructed Lee.
"Sakura!" he chose instantly.
She sweatdropped and walked behind him.
"Shikamaru." Sasuke responded back.
"Neji."
"Tenten."
"Hinata."
Sasuke sighed. "Naruto."
Naruto happily skipped towards the back of the line and accidentally fell flat on his face.
Everyone rolled their eyes as he got up smiling.
(The teams are: Sasuke, Shikamaru, Tenten, Naruto vs. Lee, Sakura, Neji, Hinata.)
"There is only one rule cadets! The rule is," he paused. "Don't - get - shot. If you do, you're out. Last person standing is the winner for their team. This team," He pointed at Lee's team. "will be chocolate pudding. While the other, will be vanilla. You will get a countdown of 10 seconds and then when you hear the buzzer, ATTACK!" With that, he marched away and sat on a lawn chair.
Quickly, everyone started running around to find hiding places. The chocolate pudding team went to the left while the vanilla pudding team went to the right. Suddenly, a loud buzzer was heard and balls of pudding went flying everywhere.
"DIE!" Shikamaru yelled as he ran after Naruto. Shikamaru was extremely fierce; probably because of Ino.
"Sh-Shikamaru! Wait! I-i'm on YOUR TEAM!" Naruto yelled as he ran.
"THEN GET OUT OF MY WAY, LOSER!"
Naruto dove into a nearby bush as Shikamaru darted passed.
Neji was carefully manouvering his way through the field. Suddenly, he spotted an opponent; Tenten. She was quietly trying to get to her opponents side. Quickly, a ball of chocolate went flying passed her. She dove into a bush and started to spot someone. Suddenly, Neji tore out of the bush and started shooting balls of pudding everywhere. Tenten quickly got up and ran. He chased after her, smiling. She quickly ran behind a tree. He slowed down and crept towards the tree. A sharp pain hit his back and he fell to the floor. He got shot! He looked over to the tree. Tenten ran out from behind it and walked over to another tree, behind Neji. She jumped up and gave a high five to her partner Naruto.
"Nicely done, Naruto!" she smiled as he ran to find someone else. She walked up to Neji, who was now in a sitting position. She bent down to him and blew him a kiss.
"Nice try." she smirked as she turned away. Suddenly a sharp pain hit her side. She turned fast enough to see pink hair fly passed.
"Nice try." Neji mocked as Tenten went and sat beside him. "I guess, we're out."
"Oh, shut up Neji." Tenten grumbled.
"COME BACK HERE SASUKE!" Lee yelled as he chased his main opponent.
Sasuke, who had been running, quickly whipped around and shot his pudding. Lee dodged it and turned around. He ran as Sasuke chased him. Suddenly, a ball of chocolate pudding flew passed Sasuke and he whipped around. Lee, unaware of the sudden attack, kept running thinking Sasuke was right behind him. Sasuke tried to spot the attacker and saw pink hair fly passed. He smirked and started to run after Sakura. She was running away and when she saw a vanilla pudding ball fly passed, she picked up her speed.
Shit, he must've saw me.
She thought as she ran.
"GAH!" she bellowed as she whipped around facing Sasuke.
Sasuke, who was still running, coudn't stop himself fast enough and collided with the pink haired girl. For once, they both fell and once again, he fell on top of her. Sakura was laughing as Sasuke blushed.
"For once, you fell!" she laughed.
Sasuke smirked. He tried to get off Sakura, but a piece of his equipment was tangled with hers. He couldn't move.
"I'm stuck." he whispered as he stared at Sakura.
Sakura glanced at Sasuke and smiled. She then tried to untangle the equipment. Sasuke smiled and pushed back a piece of Sakura's hair. She stopped what she was doing and looked up at him. He started to lean in closer to her when suddenly he felt something hit his stomach hard. He toppled over Sakura and bent over in pain.
"Fuck." he muttered.
"Lee! What did you do?" she demanded as she stood up.
"Game over for you, Sasuke." Lee narrowed his eyes to Sasuke. He, obviously, didn't like the idea of Sasuke trying to kiss his girl. "Why don't you stay away from Sakura while you're at it."
"What are you talking about Lee?" Sakura yelled as she went to Sasuke's side. He quickly got up and shoved Lee aside.
"Hey, you bastard..." he started.
"You wanna fight?" Lee stated as he got in his stance.
"Guys. STOP!" Sakura instructed.
"Fine. We won't fight...we'll battle. You up for a challenge, Sasuke?" Lee smirked at Sasuke and then glared at him.
"Fine." he agreed.
"Good. I'll see you outside the dome then." Lee stated as he exited the puddingball area.
"Sasuke! What is this? You guy's are like children." Sakura complained.
"Shut up, Sakura and just to make things clear," he stopped and stared at Sakura. "I'm not doing this for you."
Sakura paused for a second and then smiled.
"Of course you're not, you fag."
He rolled his eyes and casually walked out of the dome. Sakura gathered her friends and told them about the predicament.
"Oh my god. Sasuke and Lee are in a fight now?" Tenten asked.
"Yep."
"But wait, did Sasuke kiss you?" Hinata asked as everyone got a bit closer to hear her answer.
"No?" she answered a bit curiously.
"Oh. Well, let's go then!" Tenten commanded.
"YA! I WANNA SEE THIS FIGHT!" he started punching the air.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes and kicked Naruto, causing him to fall down. Once he got up, they all exited the stadium quickly.
Sasuke and Lee had both disappeared. After a bit of searching, Naruto spotted them sitting at the eating contest.
"They're going to eat? That's their challenge?" Neji interogated.
Everyone sweatdropped. They walked over and saw Kiba run over to the gang. Chouji was still sitting at the eating contest. Could this guy ever stop?
"Guys, you have to get me out of here! Chouji is a machine! He's won EVERY contest. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CONTESTS THERE HAS BEEN? 15! 15 FRIGGIN CONTESTS AND CHOUJI'S WON EVERY SINGLE ONE!" he yelled nervously. "Oh! HE'S NOT GOING TO STOP NOW! THE CONTESTANTS KEEP COMING! ONE BY ONE HE BEATS THEM ALL." Kiba had this crazy look in his eyes. Tenten patted his back.
"Oh, why is Sasuke and Lee there?" Kiba asked calming down.
"They're in a fight." Sakura murmured.
"Doesn't matter 'cause Chouji's going to win...AGAIN!" Kiba yelled. Chouji looked up from where he was sitting and waved to his friends. Kiba crookedly smiled back as everyone else waved happily.
"Good luck guys!" Chouji happily grinned at his two opponents.
"Ya, whatever." Sasuke glared at Lee.
"Prepare to die, Uchiha." He answered back.
Chouji rolled his eyes and then looked over to his left. Waiters were bringing in pots and pots of pudding. One of the waiters spotted Chouji, his eyes widened and he quickly whispered something to the waiter beside him. The waiter he was whispering to gaped his mouth and then nodded his head slowly. Chouji smiled and waved at the waiter he recognized. He thought about it and remembered that he had seen the same waiter earlier that day.
"Are you ready, contestants?" the announcer asked excitedly.
Sasuke, Lee and Chouji all nodded their heads. To begin, the waiters all placed a small bowl of pudding infront of them. Chouji grabbed the bowl and poured the contents of it into his mouth. Lee was furiously shoving all of the pudding into his mouth with the spoon the fair had provided them with. Sasuke was slowly eating, but he took big bites. They all passed the first course.
"Second course." the announcer spoke.
The waiters placed a bigger bowl of pudding infront of them. All contestants finished that quickly too.
"You full yet, loser?" Lee hissed as he waited for the waiter to serve the next serving.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. He was filling up, but that wasn't going to stop him. The waiters finished serving round 6 and Sasuke felt really tired. He couldn't take it anymore, but he couldn't lose to Lee. He looked over at Chouji who was happily licking his fingers. He then glanced at Lee who smirked evilly at Sasuke. Sasuke glared at him as the waiters put round 7 on the table. Each contestant got a huge jug of pudding to finish. Sasuke picked up his spoon and slowly started eating his pudding. Chouji quickly gobbled it down as Lee slowly ate it, happily, also. Sasuke took another bite and felt his stomach jolt. It then made a wheezing noise. He looked up at the crowd of people watching the challenge and quickly shifted his eyes at Sakura. She was intently watching him. Suddenly, he whited out. He shook his head fiercely, and tried to shake away the awkward feeling. He had consumed way too much pudding! He picked up his spoon and shoved it into the pudding. As he raised it to his mouth, everything started to go blurry. Was this even possible? Could pudding even do this to you? He felt his stomach churn once more.
"Guys! LOOK AT SASUKE!"
Sasuke could hear Naruto yelling but it seemed too far away. Sasuke got up and tried to shake off this wierd feeling. He could hear Lee laughing.
"Sasuke! Sit," he grabbed Sasuke's arm firmly. "DOWN!" Lee yanked at his arm hard as Sasuke jerked to the side and fell off the bench.
"Sasuke! Are you okay?" Sakura was now by his side.
Sasuke heard the faint voices of his friends get fainter and fainter. Then, he blacked out.
---------------------------------
"Haha, you awake, finally?"
Sasuke opened his eyes slowly and saw that Sakura was sitting beside him. He quickly jolted up and felt his stomach churn. He moaned in pain as Sakura held his back for support.
"You idiot. Don't hurt yourself." she stated harshly.
He looked at her and then slowly sat against the tree she was sitting against. Sakura was watching the sky turn to a light orange. The sun was going to set. He looked around and noticed that they were on a hill outside of the fair. He was alone with her.
Behind them, was a very angry Shikamaru sitting against another tree. (He's sitting) He was mumbling under his breath as he watched the sky also. He felt a presence and saw Ino walk over to him. He crossed his arms and cooly turned away from her. She smiled softly and sat beside him.
"Listen Shikamaru.." she started.
"I don't want to hear it, Ino." he answered.
"I'm sorry!" she shouted.
"Shut up. I don't care."
"I bet you do care." she smiled slowly as she leaned against him.
He pushed her off him and stared out at the sky. She pouted and then smiled a small smile.
"What if I do this?" she leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Will you forgive me now?"
"Bug off." he stated blankly, still staring at the sky.
"What about this?" Ino hoisted herself up on Shikamaru's lap and quickly pecked his lips.
"Stop Ino. It won't work."
"I'm sorry, baby." she gave him her cutest puppy dog eyes.
He sighed, glanced at her, and then quickly looked away. Ino pressed her lips on his and instantly deepened it. He accepted and wrapped his hands around her waist. She pulled off him and whispered, "I'm sorry.".
"I know." he whispered back and then kissed her again. She smiled as he bit her lower lip. She opened her mouth and his tongue swooped into her mouth.
"God, aren't they having fun." Neji stated in sarcasm as he looked at the couple, beside them, making out.
"Shut up Neji. I'm glad their together again." Tenten smiled as she stared at the, now, very orange sky.
Neji glanced at her and noticed how the sun's rays highlighted her face. She turned to catch him staring at her. He quickly blushed and turned away. She giggled and moved her eyes back to the sky. Neji smiled slightly and rested his hand on Tenten's hand. Tenten quickly stared down at her hand and then at Neji. He was watching the sunset. She smiled and leaned on Neji's shoulder. Neji smiled and rested his head on her's as they watched the sunset together.
Hinata smiled as Naruto came and sat beside her.
"Wasn't today fun?" he said smiling.
"Mmhmm." she replied as she watched the sunset. "Isn't the sunset, pretty?" she whispered.
"Isn't it always?" Naruto responded, also watching. He paused before continuing again. "Do you remember this morning of truth or dare?" he smiled nervously.
Hinata blushed furiously as she nodded her head.
Still staring at the sunset, he continued, "I liked it. Thankyou." he blushed as he said this, but kept his eyes on the gorgeous sun.
Hinata smiled and turned her head. "You're welcome, Naruto."
"It's so beautiful." Sakura whispered as she watched the sun.
"How long was I out for?" Sasuke murmured.
Sakura turned to him. "A few hours."
"And you stayed with me?"
"Of course I did. I wouldn't just leave you behind." her eyes grew stern as she said this.
"Where's everyone else?"
"I don't know. They kinda just left." she sighed.
"Oh." he paused.
She turned and smiled at him. "You're so lame."
He sighed and watched the sun disappear over the fair.
"What happened to Lee?"
"Apparently, Lee lost to Chouji and went home very upset. Chouji is in the fair. On the rides." she laughed.
Sasuke huffed out and clutched his stomach as it ached in pain. Sakura leaned in close and held his back for support.
"You okay?" she asked, looking worried.
"I'm fine." he answered and then turned to her. "Why do you care so much?" he whispered smirking.
"I-i don't." she answered nervously, standing up.
Sasuke smiled and as the sky turned from orange to a dark purple he slowly got up. Sakura turned to him and their eyes locked.
"Thankyou." he smirked as he leaned in closer to her. Cupping her chin, he brought her lips to his and closed his eyes. Sakura fluttered her eyes closed. It should have been a quick kiss but they held it longer. He let go of her chin and placed his arms around her waist. She started to deepen the kiss until she realized what she was doing. Quickly, she pulled off him and crossed her arms. Sasuke turned away and shoved his hands in his pockets.
"There. You did the dare." she harshly murmured. "Let's go home now."
"Hn."
Sakura briskly walked to Ino and Shikamaru, who was now just talking to eachother contently.
"He did the dare. Let's go home." she stated. Then she whipped around and started for the car. Ino shot up from Shikamaru's lap.
"HE DID?" she asked in shock. "AND?"
"And..what?" she eyed Ino curiously.
"Details woman, I need details!"
"He just kissed me. It was quick and that's it."
"So..it meant nothing to you?" she sighed in dismay.
"Of course not. Let's go." Sakura quickly turned around and started for the car as Ino collected the rest of her friends. Sakura's hand slowly went up to her lips and a smile crept upon her face.
----------------------------
"Bye Tenten!" Sakura yelled out of Sasuke's car door window.
Sasuke changed the gear to D and started out for the drive to Sakura's house. He had dropped everyone in his car home, except for Sakura. Sakura was in the front seat of the car and was fiddling with her seat belt.
This is so awkward. she thought.
Sasuke glanced at her as he drove into her driveway.
"We're here." he responded as she jumped at the sound of his voice.
"Mmhmm. It was fun today wasn't it?" she eyed him, without even smiling.
"Yes. I guess." he replied back. He placed his hands on the steering wheel and looked out to Sakura's light purple garage.
Sakura moved around in her seat and let out a big sigh. Then she quickly leaned over to Sasuke and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Thanks." she paused. "For everything." She smiled and let herself out of the car. She quickly ran to the door of her house and let herself inside.
Sasuke let out a deep breath and smirked. His hand flew to his cheek as he reversed out of her driveway.
Sakura... he thought as he drove home.
