Wow, it has been a long time since I've updated. Anyway, as most of you know, I'm in college, which takes up a hell of a lot of my time, and the internet here sucks. In addition, my writing has gotten much better from when I last made a chapter for the Lee Cycle. Also, I have a boyfriend! He's cool. He helped me write Hot Ice, playing the part of Roy and a few other characters. Sadly, he left for Basic Training in the army, but I still have many chapters to edit and add.

One more thing, at the time I wrote Ch 6, I did not know Rin was dead. For some bizarre reason, I thought she was the female anbu who appeared when Konoha was under attack by Sound and Sand. Therefore, if she shows up in the story again, she will have a different name.

Oh, oh, oh! One, one last more thing! I'm gonna' minor in Japanese, so my understanding of it and pronunciations is much better…sadly, I haven't studied for the quiz on Monday yet. I should probably do that…soon. And 'Hai' can mean either 'yes/yeah,' or 'I hear you.'

Last but not least, read note I put at the bottom of this chapter.

There is a lot of cursing in this chapter and a few indecent words…and hickies. I do not own Naruto…still.

The Lee Cycle

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ch 7 Hickies

Earlier…

"I'm hungry."

"Like I care."

"But you're the host. You're supposed to feed us, Sasuke-teme."

"I never invited you two in the first place, Dobe." He glared at Naruto, hoping the boy would suddenly poof out of existence. Wishful thinking.

"We're still your guests, so feed us, you selfish Bastard," Naruto glared back. When Sasuke didn't budge, Naruto stomped over to the small kitchen area and yanked open the fridge door. He made a face when he found nothing that suited his tastes. "Yuck! Where the hell's your ramen? All that's in here is fruits, vegetables, and some meat and rice balls." He paused when something caught his attention. "Whoa! What'd you do, Sasuke? Raid Market District of their tomatoes?"

Bam! Naruto's head burned with pain.

"Naruto-baka, don't intrude on Sasuke-kun so much! Show a little respect!"

"Hai, hai…" Naruto looked away. "Hey, I know! Let's play a game!"

"That's so childish, Naruto."

"Aww, come on! You play games at sleepovers, besides…we could have truth or dare." He suddenly grinned evilly and pulled a flashlight out of nowhere. Heheheh-." Smack! The flashlight Naruto held went flying and a handprint formed on his cheek.

"How many times are you going to do that!?!"

"Sure."

Naruto and Sakura froze and turned to Sasuke. "Nani?"

"I said, 'sure.' It'll keep Naruto from trying to raid my fridge," Sasuke shrugged as if life were as simple as that.

"Hey!" Naruto yelled. "Fine, but we're playing Truth or Dare and I start! Oh, and the person who pulls out, must run though the village, butt naked!"

"Tch." The trio moved the furniture around. They pulled the table out of the way and repositioned the couch and chair to face each other Sasuke sat down in the chair while Sakura and Naruto sat down on either side of the couch.

"Sasuke!" Naruto roared, trying to add a menacing effect. "Truth…or dare?"

Sasuke was not surprised that Naruto chose him first, or hinted at the dare. "Truth."

"Are you gay!?"

Sasuke fell out of his chair and Sakura kicked Naruto in the ribs. 'Of all the-!' "NO!"

"Are you sure?" Naruto choked out.

"I'm sure!"

"Of course Sasuke-kun isn't gay!"

"How would you know, Sakura-chan? He never really hangs out or talks to any girls."

"Woman's intuition!" Sakura pumped a fist up. 'That's right!'

"Whatever. It's my turn. Naruto, truth or dare?"

"Tr-."

"Chicken," Sasuke smirked, mockingly.

Naruto glared at Sasuke. "I'm not scared of you! Dare!"

"I dare you…to not eat any ramen for the rest of the month." Sasuke was definitely a sadist. Sakura gasped. There was no way Naruto would fulfill the dare. To him, ramen was life.

Naruto's jaw dropped, making him look like a fish out of water. "W-wh-what!? NOOO!" He climbed up onto the back of the sofa.

Sasuke's smirk widened, "Then streak down Konoha."

"…Fuck." Naruto's eyes were hidden behind his hair while his fists shook. "…Fine. I… I won't eat any ramen for the rest of the month."

Sakura patted him on the shoulder. 'Poor Naruto.' "Well, it's my turn. Um…Naruto, truth or dare?" She hoped he would chose dare. She picked something that might cheer him up.

"Or are you going to chicken out, Dobe?"

"Don't worry, Naruto. It's a nice dare."

Naruto sighed. 'Please do not be lying, Sakura-chan.' "D-dare."

"I dare you to go on a date with Hinata this week. And you have to treat her to something nice, too."

"Eh? Date? Hinata-chan? …Why?" Naruto asked, clueless. How would this make him feel better? Hanging out with Hinata wasn't common, but he had done it a few times. Shouldn't be too hard, right? Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Just because," She said simply. "Your turn, Naruto."

"'Kay. Sasuke!" Naruto roared again. "Truth or dare?"

There was no way Sasuke was going to choose dare after what he made Naruto do. The Dobe would probably dare him to not eat his tomatoes for a month. He would have to sell them before they went bad. "Truth."

"Do you masturbate?"

Sasuke and Sakura both fell out of their seats, blushing madly. "What the hell, Naruto! No, I do not masturbate! What the fuck is wrong with you!?"

"If you don't choose dare, I'm going to humiliate you in front of Sakura-chan and me."

"I'm not choosing dare!" His precious tomatoes were too important.

"Then suffer!" Naruto seethed.

Sasuke glared at Naruto. "Sakura, truth or dare?"

"Truth?"

"Do you love Naruto? As in the way a girl loves a boy." Naruto's eyes widened. What was Sasuke up to? What was Sakura-chan's answer?

"No. Naruto is just a friend," she said simply.

Naruto felt as if someone had punched him in the stomach. 'Sakura-chan…'

"Sasuke-kun, truth or dare?"

The avenger thought for a moment. 'Sakura won't do anything bad to me if I choose Dare, that much I know.' "Dare, I guess." Sakura smiled. "But you can't dare me to kiss you."

This made Sakura frown for a second. "I dare you to…go into your closet with me and give me five hickies on my neck or shoulders." Hey, at least she was giving him some privacy to choose.

"No! I forbid it! He said no kissing and you dared him to kiss you!" Naruto yelled, jumping to his feet.

"No I didn't. I dared him to give me hickies, not to kiss me on the lips or something. And if he refuses, Sasuke-kun will have to streak down Konoha, while hundreds of fan girls chase him with cameras. And I'll be one of them. So what'll it be, Sasuke-kun." She received the infamous death glare.

Sasuke stood up, rigid, and walked over to the closet. He held it open for her. Sakura, however, took her sweet time blushing and giggling before disappearing into the closet. Sasuke entered and shut the door. Naruto was having a fit in the living room, throwing pillows every which way.

Sakura never felt so nervous in her life. She was with in a dark closet. With Sasuke. The love of her life. Alone. Moreover, about to get a few hickies. From Sasuke. She was shaking with joy.

Sakura couldn't see him, but when he grabbed her shoulder, she stopped moving, her back was almost against the wall. The sound of Naruto's tantrum was long gone as Sasuke's other hand moved up to her cheek to tilt her head a bit and to move her hair out of the way. Sakura feared her heart would burst; it was beating so loud. His hot breath sent shivers down her back. He shoulder suddenly felt colder as her waist heated up.

Sasuke, unlike Sakura, was not quite as nervous. He had never given a hickie to anyone before. He had seen his mom with one once after she and his father got up late. It looked like the skin was simply bruised, as if someone had sucked on it. A similar coloration appears when one sucks out poison from a wound. So he just had to suck on her neck a few times? Sasuke moved closer to her, putting a hand on her shoulder so she was facing him. It was strange being this close to his female teammate. Her smell invaded his senses as he leaned in towards her. It annoyed him but relaxed him at the same time.

Sasuke hesitated; his lips paused over her creamy skin. He felt her shiver so he moved his left hand from her shoulder to her waist to keep her still. Sasuke's lips gently pressed against her skin, noting how soft it was. He ran his tong along her neck. A small gasp escaped her, making something within him awaken. She tasted sweet. A good sweet. He liked it.

Sakura gasped as she felt his hot tong against her skin. It tingled, making her fully aware of every stroke, and every touch. Her head felt light and her body hot as he made a trail from the top of her neck to her collarbone. His fingers took hold of her zipper, pulling it down some so he would have more access to her shoulders. Sakura didn't know when he had pushed her up against the wall but his body was pressed against her and she could feel all his muscles. His hand rubbed up and down her back, grabbing a fistful of her dress every now and then. Sakura had lost count of how many marks he had left. All she knew was that she was on cloud nine. Her hands were already in his hair, urging him on.

Naruto was really getting impatient now. They were taking way to long in there. If he were lucky, Sasuke would chicken out and have to streak. Then again, if the Teme streaked, then Sakura would see his package, which was very bad. The blond tapped his foot. 'Come on. Hurry up!'

Sasuke couldn't remember how many hickies he was supposed to give her, or how many he had given her already. In fact, he wasn't even trying to count. This strange feeling inside him felt great, and it was even better now that he was pressed against her. Sasuke felt a pleasant pinch on his neck. He did not know what she did, but he liked it, too. Sasuke slowly became aware of the loud thuds from the door. He didn't really want to end this nice feeling. He gave Sakura one last nibble before pulling away. The sound of Naruto's annoying voice brought him back to his senses. Sakura…not so much. She looked ready to collapse.

Sasuke opened the door, ignoring the fainting Sakura. "Can't wait one minute, Dobe?"

Naruto held his hand out, fingers spread. "Five minutes. You were in there with her for over five minutes! What the hell did you two…you….you have a hickie…"

Sasuke raised a brow. Was Naruto serious? A hand went up to his neck and he rushed to the bathroom. Naruto was torn between following Sasuke and helping Sakura. Sakura had wobbled out and plopped down in the middle of the couch. It was a surprise she made it that far. Her dress was partly unzipped and her neck, shoulders, and upper part of her chest were covered in at least ten hickies. Naruto was furious. He sat down next to her, trying to snap her out of her daze.

A furious pounding broke the silence. Sasuke groaned as he left the bathroom to answer the door. He never invited these people over to stay, and now someone else was trying to annoy him. However, when he opened the door a figure burst right in as if they owned the place. They steered Sasuke to the couch were Naruto and Sakura were sitting. Sasuke was forced to sit next to Sakura.

The man folded his arms and gave the three an evil look as he observed Sakura. "Is there something you three want to tell me?" his voice was serious and angry. Very angry.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Okay, I have a request for all of you. You get to come up with a plot for the story (This is another way for FF writers to say that they are out of ideas for a story and want the reader's opinions and ideas.) You will be credited of course. This plot will be for Naruto and Hinata's date in the chapter after next (ch9). It depends on how many plots you guys give or how long the next chapter is. What do you guys want to happen or not happen? How will it go? Good or bad? Does someone run into them constantly (like an overly protective Neji). Be creative but reasonable. The best plot wins.
