-Okay, so as the Truth-or-Dare game goes crazy, our favorite shinobi are forced to act out scenes from our favorite movies and fairytales. Oh, god, shinobi as actors? That's something worth paying to see! What could possibly go wrong? Wait, Ino's singing? Oh, boy, that's so not good…
Yay! A new chapter! Sorry, I took a while, but I was really busy! And without further ado, here's the chapter!
Chapter Nine
TRUTH OR DARE: MOVIE THEATER EDITION
"I mas musm miming (I was just kidding)…" Suigetsu said through a broken jaw that he was now trying to fix by . . . doing something weird with his body made out of water.
Sakura crossed her arms and hmped. "Shut your mouth and let the water fix you."
"So . . . you're paying for my medical bill?" Suigetsu asked, his jaw was now apparently fixed.
"HELL NO!"
"Sheesh, I was just kidding…" Suigetsu mumbled. "Okay, back to the game!"
We're still playing? everyone thought.
"Yes, we are."
He can read our minds?
"No, I can't."
Then how…?
"I'm just really good at taking guesses."
Oh… That explains it…
"So . . . who's first?"
"Ooh, ooh! Me! Me!" Naruto jumped up and down.
"Okay, Naruto, I dare you to—"
"Hey, doesn't he get a choice of either truth or dare? Hence the name of the game Truth-or-Dare?" Neji asked.
"Well, since all you peoples are wimps, I decided to get rid of the truth option and keep only the dare." Suigetsu said.
"Well, that's not much of a game." Kiba sulked.
"YES, IT IS!"
"Fine, fine."
"Good, now where was I?" Suigetsu thought for a moment, and a light bulb suddenly went off. "I know! Naruto, I dare you to put on a tutu and start jumping around the place yelling 'Pikachu'!"
"What?" Naruto asked. "Where am I supposed to get a tutu?"
And suddenly Ino had two tutus in her hands. "Would you like pink or white?"
"It doesn't matter," Sasuke said. "He wouldn't look good in either color anyway."
"For your information, teme, I wear pink underwear, and I don't hear anyone complaining about that!" Naruto said. "Not even Hinata did when we—"
"Alright, too much information!" Sakura yelled, covering her ears.
"Now, do your dare." Suigetsu said.
But that proved a bit . . . difficult. Naruto had never worn a tutu before, so he had no idea how to put it on or where it went. (A/N: neither did any of guys, by the way.) And so, he put one on his head and wore the other one like a sash. And then he started jumping up and down. "Pikachu! Pikachu!"
Laughter and sweatdrop filled the room. It just looked wrong…
"Okay, next victim!" Suigetsu said. "Hinata!"
"What, who, me?" the Hyuga asked.
"Yes. Can you tell me—"
"Hey, I thought you got rid of the truth option," Karin said.
"Yeah," Juugo seconded that. "And doesn't the . . . anoo, 'victim' get to choose which one she wants to do?"
"NO, SHE DOESN'T!" Suigetsu yelled. "Now, dear, sweet, Hinata. Lovely, innocent, pure, kind-hearted—"
"We get it," Shino said. "Just get on with it."
"Hinata, can you tell me what's the worst thing you've ever seen?"
And then sweet, innocent Hinata started twitching. She opened her mouth but only "Mhdi weisdk iwei sdkle" came out.
"Hinata?" Sakura asked as she supported the girl from going into a heart attack. "Come on, you can tell us. It can't be any worse than Sasuke and Naruto kissing."
Don't remind me of that… the two rivals thought.
"I, we . . . they . . ." the Hyuga shuddered. "I . . . we . . . my team were on a . . . a mission… And that . . . the first night we were camping, I was with Kurenai-sensei . . . and Kiba and Shino were in their tent… I . . . I went out for a walk . . . and . . . I—"
"Okay, Hinata, there's no need to say it!" Kiba said out of the blue.
"No, let her continue." Suigetsu said, an evil smile on his face. "This sounds dirty, hee-hee…"
"I . . . I came back," Hinata continued, the twitching got worse. "And . . . and I went into the wrong tent… And I . . . I saw . . . I saw . . ."
"What, Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked, shaking her crazy. "What?"
"Naruto!" Sakura scolded.
"What did you see, Hinata-chan?"
"I saw . . ." the Hyuga said, "I saw"—she pointed at her two teammates—"I saw those two, Dog-boy and Bug-Boy, making-out!"
"EH?" everyone was so shocked.
"And I thought my teammates were gay!" Sakura said.
"Hey!" Sasuke, Naruto, and Sai yelled.
"And that's . . . that's not all!" Hinata said. "Their . . . their legs were entwined and . . . and—"
"Alright," Shino said, covering the girl's mouth. "That's enough sugar for you. Why don't you run along now, you little cutie[1]?"
"OMG! I never thought I'd get a scandal!" Suigetsu was laughing so hard his stomach hurt. "This is getting good! Okay, now, my next victim! Sasuke! I dare you to—and if anyone has any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace—propose to Pinkie almost as if you were in a comedy movie!"
A chorus of Oohs shot out from everyone there even from Karin, and Sakura turned as red as . . . well, you think about it. How red would you turn if everyone's eyes were on you and you were going to be playfully proposed to?
"We are just about to blow up the internet," Kakashi said, a camcorder in Yamato's hands.
"Do it! Do it!" Naruto cheered.
"Dobe, I'm gonna kill you right after I kill Suigetsu."
"Daijōbu, Sasuke-kun," Sakura said. "It's okay . . . that is, if you're too chicken to do it!"
Another chorus of Oohs…
"Sakura, you shouldn't waste your time." Ino said. "We don't know if he even really loves you."
A chorus of Oh-hos…
"Well, how do you expect me to show it?" Sasuke asked.
"Well," Ino said. "Cue the music!"
"Oh no!" Sakura and Shikamaru shook their heads, knowing the torture of Ino's off-key singing.
"How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truly, love her?
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her or she'll be inclined to say
How do I know, he loves me?
How do I know, he's mine?
Does he leave a little note to tell you, you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is gray?
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday.
That's how you know, that's how you know, he's your love.
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know true love is true
How do you know, he loves you?
How do you know, he's yours?
Does he take you out dancing just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words meant just for you?
He'll find his own way to tell you, with the little things he'll do
That's how you know, that's how you know, he's your—"
"Okay, I get it!" Sasuke said, finally fed up with Ino's singing. "I'll do the proposal."
A round of cheers from everyone…
"Sakura…"
"Yes, Sasuke-kun?"
"I—"
"What? You're not going to get on your knees and show me the ring?"
A chorus of laughter…
"I don't have a ring."
"Then what kind of proposal is this?"
"Not the real one."
Another chorus of Oohs…
"Okay then, continue."
"I know you're really annoying—"
And another chorus of laughter…
"—And I know you have a gigantic forehead."
And another…
"Oh," Sakura said, "And here I thought you were going to say something else. I could strangle you for saying that, you know."
"Do you want to hear this or not?"
"Fine… Go on."
"And I know I'm kind of obsessed with revenge most of the time—"
"Most of the time?" Sakura asked. "Don't you mean 'all of the time'?"
"Fine, I'm obsessed with revenge all of the time, and I know I don't have time for any of that boy-and-girl thing, and I know everyone thinks that I have the hots for somebody else."
"Oh, gross, teme! I'm not gay!"
"Do you guys want me to not do this?"
"Carry on."
"But," he continued to Sakura.
"Yes?" Sakura asked as if she didn't know what was coming up.
"Will you be my ninja bride?"
Everyone was laughing now and blowing whistles or screaming while Kakashi was going, "Finally!"
"Anoo . . . hold on a second," Sakura said. "Suigetsu, is this from when we were genin or now as in Shippuden?"
"Let's see genin!" Tenten and Ino yelled.
Another chorus of laughter…
"Okay," and Sakura took a deep breath. "Anoo . . . could you say that again, Sasuke-kun?"
"Heheh," Sasuke laughed dryly, "Look, it was hard enough to say it once."
A chorus of Ohs…
"I don't know if I can say it again."
"Please? Could you please try to say it again? I didn't quite hear you correctly." She cupped her hand around her ear and leaned in closer.
"Will . . . you . . . be my . . . ninja bride?"
And then Sakura pretended to hyperventilate. "CHA!"
Even Gaara in Suna heard that.
Another chrous of laughter and a round of applause…
"Yes, I will!" Sakura continued. "I will, I will, I will, I will, I WILL!" And then . . . she pretended to faint.
Another round of laughter and applause…
"Now," Sakura said as she shot up onto her feet.
"No, no," Sasuke said, knowing what she'd say next.
"Do you guys want to see this pro-Shippuden?"
"YES!" everyone answered.
"You're all dead," was what Sasuke said.
And now Sakura put her hands on her hips. "Could you repeat the question please?"
"I want to kill you."
A chorus of laughter…
"I know what you're really trying to say, Sasuke. You're just not man enough to say it."
A chorus of Oohs…
"It has taken you far too long to see how great I am," Sakura continued. "So I'm not sure if I want to give in to you."
A chorus of Ohs and Oohs…
"So my answer is no."
A chorus of Ohs and Oohs with a Ho-ho added in somewhere…
"And I'm very busy, I have a lot people to heal, I have a lot of things to do now, and I gotta go. Sorry."
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" everyone cried.
"And see, kids?" Suigetsu asked. "This is why you should never embark on quests of revenge."
A chorus of laughter…
"You snooze," Sakura said, "you lose."
"Nicely put," Sasuke said. "Luckily, that wasn't my real proposal."
Another of Ohs…
"And when do you plan on really proposing then?" Sakura asked.
"You'll see."
"Okay, enough of this!" Suigetsu said. "We saw the proposal, and now I dare you two to do that scene in Titantic!"
"Huh?" Sakura asked. "What scene?"
"Oh, I'm not talking about the nude painting," Suigetsu said. "I know I'd get punch for even asking for that, and so I'm asking for that scene where they're in the water and making that I'll-never-let-go promise."
"But there's no water."
"I can make that sentence false."
"Never mind…" Sakura said. She turned her attention back to Sasuke. "You want to do it?"
"Well, it can't be any more embarrassing than you refusing my fake proposal."
"Sorry, but you did deserve that." Sakura said. She turned back to Suigetsu. "Are we using our names or the characters' names?"
"Yours."
"Okay." Sakura said. "Sasuke, you start it."
"Fine…" he sighed. "I don't know about you, but I intend to write a strongly worded letter to the White Star Line about all this."
Sakura laughed weakly, but her laugh sounded more like a gasp of fear. "I love you, Sasuke."
"No… Don't say your goodbyes, Sakura. Don't you give up. Don't do it."
"I'm so cold."
Everyone's eyes widened, and the kunoichi and Naruto started biting on their handkerchiefs that they suddenly took out.
"You're going to get out of this," Sasuke continued with his character's lines, pretending to have trouble breathing. "You're going to go on, and you're going to make babies and watch them grow, and you're going to die an old lady, warm in your bed. Not here… Not this night. Do you understand me?"
"I can't feel my body…"
"Sakura, listen to me. Winning that ticket was the best thing that ever happened to me. It brought me to you. And I'm thankful, Sakura. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor… Promise me you will survive . . . that you will never give up… No matter what happens, no matter how hopeless . . . promise me now, and never let go of that promise."
"I promise."
"Never let go."
"I promise. I will never let go, Sasuke. I'll never let go."
"WAH!" the other kunoichi and Naruto started crying. "No, don't continue! It's too sad!"
"Who knew the teme could act?" Naruto cried, wiping his tears and blowing his nose.
"Oh, how troublesome…" Shikamaru shook his head.
"That . . ." Kakashi's voice choked up. "That was just . . . just beautiful."
"Thank you," Sakura said. "Now . . . are you guys done picking on me and Sasuke-kun?"
"Fine," Suigetsu said. "You've escaped for now, but I'll get you next time and when I do . . . MWA-HA-HA!"
Everyone just stared at him.
"What?"
"You've just ruined the wonderful moment of a Titanic showing," Karin said.
"Well, sorry, but it's time for the next dare. Naruto and Hinata! I dare you to act out a scene from Spirited Away!"
"Which scene?" Naruto asked. "Do you mean when the spirits were slapping that pig?"
"Or do you mean when Chihiro was running down the stairs and hit herself against the wall?" Hinata asked. "Or do you mean the scene when she stepped on that slug-thing?"
"I mean, the part where they—as in Haku and Chihiro, if you don't know who I mean—when they met." Suigetsu explained.
"Oh…"
"So do it."
"Oh . . . okay…" Naruto said, scratching his head, while Hinata fiddled with her fingers.
"Wait! Someone needs to play the train!"
"Arf!" Akamaru barked as he started walking in a straight path. "Choo-woo!" (A/N: he's a dog, so he can't pronounce Chu-chu so well.)
"Th-there's the train!" Hinata said. The scene had just started. She pretended to be more interested in Akama—I mean, the train. And so, when her eyes met Naruto's, she was more or less than surprised.
"You shouldn't be here," Naruto said in a serious tone, walking over to the heiress. "Get out of here now!"
"What?" Hinata asked.
"It's almost night. Leave before it gets dark!"
. . .
A chorus of laughter…
"Okay, what did I do?" Naruto asked.
"I'm . . . sorry, Naruto!" Sakura clutched her stomach. "But . . . you being serious . . . OMG! I couldn't take it! I'm sorry!"
"Dobe, she has a point."
"SHUT UP, TEME!"
"Okay, since that dare didn't go so well," Suigetsu said, "Naruto! I dare you to kiss Hinata!"
"WHAT?" Naruto asked as Hinata turned a bright shade of red.
"Oh, you better not!" Neji said, his Byakugan activated now. "Or so help me, I'll—"
Tenten and Gai held him back.
"Neji, do not attack Naruto-kun!" Lee said. "It will not be youthful! This shall be Naruto-kun's first kiss with a girl!"
"STOP REMINDING US ABOUT THAT KISS!" Naruto and Sasuke yelled.
"Enough excuses!" Ino said. "Time to kiss that girl! Hey, that reminds me… It's time for another musical number!"
"Oh, no…" Sakura groaned, shaking her head, but the music started anyway despite numerous protests from everyone there.
"There you see her
Sitting there across the way"
"Anoo . . . I'm standing…" Hinata said.
"She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl."
"Oh, he better not," Neji growled.
"Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do"
"I do?" Naruto asked.
"It's possible she wants you too"
"She does?"
"There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy"
"I AM NOT SHY!"
"YES, YOU ARE!"
"Yes, Neji…"
"Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon"
"What lagoon?" Sakura asked.
"Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl (kiss the girl)"
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala—"
"ENOUGH ALREADY WITH THE SHOW TUNES!" Shikamaru screamed. "Naruto, just get this troublesome thing over with already!"
"What?" Neji asked. "Shikamaru, you betray me too? Oh, your time will come! I know torture[2]!"
"Enough excuses! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" everyone started chanting.
"Kiss the Hyuga girl already!" Suigetsu yelled.
"Alright, alright!" Naruto said. "Come here, Hinata-chan!" He puckered and then… "Hinata? Hinata-chan! Are we doing Sleeping Beauty now?"
Sakura and Ino began to fan the girl who had just fainted.
"Well, that was a waste of time," Suigetsu complained. "Okay, on to the next dare! Let's see, who's next? Ah, Neji and Tintin!"
"Tenten!"
"Whatever! I dare you to act out a scene from 101 Dalmatians!"
"I am not getting on all fours," Neji said.
"You can be Cruella~!" Suigetsu said singsong.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
"Oh, this will be good…" Kiba snickered.
"I need a door!" Neji said. "Oh, Yamato~!"
"Fine, fine." And Yamato created a wooden door.
Sai started doing the sound effects for a car and for a doorbell ringing.
"Let her . . . or him in, anoo . . . Lee." Tenten said, unsure of what her lines should be.
But Lee didn't need to open the door because Neji used his Byakugan and smashed right there it.
"Tenten darling!" he exclaimed.
"And here I thought Cruella just walked in," Sasuke said.
"How are you?" Tenten asked.
"Miserable, darling, as usual," Neji said with smoke and everything coming out of a pipe. "But perfectly wretched!"
"I'll say," Naruto whispered to Hinata.
"I heard that!" Neji yelled.
"Okay, enough with this dare!" Karin said. "I should've been Cruella!"
"Well, it doesn't matter now, does it? Because I'm a better Cruella than you'll ever be!"
"OMG, can you spell out primadonna?" Ino said to Sakura.
"Okay, next dare!" Suigetsu said. "Shikamaru, I dare you to be the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and I want you to act in the prologue. Kakashi shall be the old beggar woman—"
"Hey, I resent that!" the jonin said.
"—Pinkie shall be the enchantress, and Choji shall be the narrator, so chop, chop! Let's do this thing!"
"Okay, hold on," Choji said, swallowing the food that was in his mouth. He took a deep breath but then, "Where's the dramatic music? I can't work in this kind of environment!"
"Oh, hold on!" Juugo said as he took out a flute and started playing it.
"Good," Choji smiled and then, in a deep voice, he began reciting the prologue:
"Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young Prince lived in a shining castle."
"More like a dark, cold dungeon," Shikamaru said, looking over their large cell.
"Although he had everything his heart desired, the Prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind."
"Don't forget lazy, rotten, and smartassy smart!" Naruto said, getting a glare from Shikamaru.
"But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle—"
Kakashi walked over to Shikamaru all hunched up.
"—and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold."
And Kakashi punched the smartass right in the kisser.
"OY! I SAID 'ROSE'!" Choji yelled. "NOT A PUNCH!"
"Gomen ne, I couldn't resist."
"Okay, where was I?"
"'In return for shelter from the bitter cold.'"
"Oh, yeah…" Choji cleared his throat.
"Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for Beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away—"
Kakashi just stood there.
"Melted away…"
Kakashi kept standing there.
"MELTED AWAY!"
Kakashi continued to stand there.
"Would someone just melt him already?" Suigetsu asked.
"I'll do it," Sasuke said. "Katon!"
And Kakashi was running around, his hair on fire.
"The old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful Enchantress."
Sakura came into the scene then.
"The Prince tried to apologize—"
Shikamaru just stood there, yawning.
"The Prince tried to apologize—"
"Oh, wait, that's me!" Shikamaru cleared his throat. "Sorry, sorry, blah, blah, blah, sorry."
"But it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast—"
Sakura threw a whole bucket of mud onto the genius.
"Oh no, it's mud! Gee, that is so ulgy." Tenten said.
"—and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there."
"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!"
"That's from Cinderella!"
"WHO CARES? JUST DEAL WITH IT!"
"Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The Rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom for many years. If he could learn to love another—"
"Yeah, right, he's too lazy to love anyone." Ino said.
"—and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. And as the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love . . . a smartass?"
"I distinctly remember that last part being 'Who could ever learn to love a beast,' not 'smartass'." Shino said.
"DEAL WITH IT!" Choji yelled.
"You know," Naruto said, "with everything going on, I feel like a song."
"Don't, dobe, don't."
But it was too late. The music had already started.
"I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!"
"I thought he wanted to be Hokage," Sasuke said to Sakura. "Now he wants to be king? King of what exactly?"
"I'm gonna be the main event, like no king was before.
I'm brushing up on looking down.
I'm working on my roar!"
"Oh, he is so not marrying Hinata now." Neji said.
"Oh, I just can't wait to be king!"
"You've rather a long way to go, Naruto!" Yamato said. "If you think—"
"No one saying 'do this'"
"Now when I said that I—"
"No one saying 'be there'"
"What I meant was that the—"
"No one saying 'stop that'"
"But what you don't realize—"
"No one saying 'see here'"
"Now see here!"
"Oh, give it up, Yamato-taichou," Sai said. "He's not going to listen."
"Free to run around all day…"
"Well, that's definitely out," Ino said. "We'd be surrounded by Naruto clones if that were to happen."
"Free to do it all my way!"
"I think it's time that you and he arranged a heart-to-heart," Sakura said to Sasuke.
"What's the use? He'd just eat ramen all day."
"Kings don't need advice from little horn-bills, for a start."
"If this is where the monarchy is headed then count me out!" Karin said. "Out of service, out of Konoha. I wouldn't hang about."
"This child is getting wildly out of wing!" Juugo said.
"Oh I just can't wait to be king! Everybody look left—"
"Oh, why us?" everyone asked.
"Everybody look right—"
"This is just stupid."
"Everywhere you look, I'm standing spotlight."
"Why are we tortured?"
"Oh I just can't wait to be king.
Oh I just can't wait to be king.
Oh I just can't wait—"
"OKAY, ENOUGH!" Sakura yelled. "Here's a dare worth trying! I dare you all to help me break out of jail! And no more show tunes! GOT THAT?"
"Hai, Tsuna—we mean, Sakura!"

Yay! I finished this chapter! Oh, and peoples, I didn't get the idea of Sasuke proposing to Sakura on my own. There's a video of their English voice actors doing this on YouTube. It's called Naruto Panel: Sasuke proposing to Sakura (part 4) MUST SEE! I just added a bit of what I wanted Sakura to say on some of the parts.
Also, the song that Ino sings in the beginning part is called That's How You Know from Enchanted. The next song is Kiss the Girl from The Little Mermaid, and the last song Naruto sings is I just can't wait to be King from The Lion King.
I hoped you all enjoyed and so, please review!
