A/N: I'm sorry for having to make you wait! I got in trouble and am not really allowed on the computer… so sorry! XD I have to admit, it was really funny. In my reviews/PM's, everyone was feeling sorry for Kiba. Is he the new favorite character in Naruto or am I missing something? :)

The Dating Game – Part 10
Summary: Meet Uchiha Sasuke, the hottest playboy in Konoha High. Meet new student Haruno Sakura, a former playgirl who quickly regains her title. But, after an "accidental" encounter, will things start to heat up?
Chapter 10 – Risky Decisions
Sakura woke up, barely getting any sleep from the previous night. Her body was full of guilt of not wanting to hurt Kiba. Then she quickly remembered that she was a playgirl, but for some weird reason, when it came to Sasuke, she was just a really hot girl in his eyes. Not that she had a problem with it.
Sakura quickly flipped open her cell phone and dialed Kiba's number. After a couple of rings, he finally picked up. "Hey, Kiba-kun!"
"Hey, Sakura-chan! What's up?"
"Umm… well listen. I need to tell you something…"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well…" She paused for a moment, thinking how she was going to explain. "The truth is, the reason I went out with you was because I'm doing this bet with Sasuke to see if I can get more fan boys than he has fan girls… so that's why I went out with you. Sorry that you had to get involved."
Kiba stayed silent for a couple of minutes. "Nah, it's okay, Sakura. Don't worry about it! But we can still be friends right?"
Sakura smiled at his answer. "Of course!" she said into the phone. "But I want to make it up to you. So, how about a little revenge plan on our friend Uchiha?"
"Sounds like a great idea! What're we going to do?" replied the boy, grinning a toothy grin. After all, he did love to pull pranks—almost as much as Naruto—since it was one of his favorite things to do.
"Okay, here's what we're going to do," the pink-haired girl began, her tone sly. "You're going to pretend to be my boyfriend and I'll pretend to be your girlfriend. We're going to make Sasuke really jealous," Sakura said, putting emphasis on word "really." "How does that sound?"
"Sounds good. We'll do it at school today, see ya then?"
"You bet. Bye," Sakura hung up her phone, a wide grin plastered on her pretty face.
Prepare for a little heartbreak Sasuke-kun!
Yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about! Finally some action! Inner Sakura cried gleefully. Sakura smiled at her alter ego's exclaim. The said girl quickly got ready, tying her hair in a high ponytail after putting on a scarlet red v-neck top with a jean miniskirt. Quickly double-checking herself in the mirror, she got in her new Spider 360 Ferrari and drove towards Konoha High.
When she reached the school, Sakura quickly parked before spotting Kiba with some other students.
"Kiba!" the pink-haired girl whispered, trying to get his attention. Kiba looked at her, quickly making an excuse to get away from his friends to go talk with her.
"Hey there, Sakura," the brown-haired boy greeted with a smirk. "Ready to do our 'plan'?"
Sakura quickly nodded before saying, "Do you think we should tell the others? You know, so they don't think it's serious?" Kiba put a hand to his chin, looking down at his jacket where Akamaru popped up his head.
"What do you think, Akamaru?" Kiba asked his furry companion. The little dog barked, Kiba nodding in response, understanding the dog's bark. "He says we should tell them. We don't want to give them the wrong idea, right?" He translated. Sakura agreed, still feeling a little bit of guilt when she heard the slight sadness and hurt in his voice. "Look, over there's Naruto," Kiba said, pointing to the blond-haired boy who was sitting down staring at the sky.
Sakura looked at Naruto's calm composure, confusion written all over her face. Isn't he normally really loud? And hyper? she thought to herself.
Maybe someone threatened him to shut up for once in his loud life… Inner Sakura mumbled, Sakura mentally scowling at her inner's statement.
Kiba and Sakura quickly made their way over towards Naruto, telling them their little "revenge" plan against Sasuke.
"That's a great idea!" Naruto exclaimed, his calm composure completely gone, "It's about time someone did something to Sasuke-teme! I was going to… but I couldn't think of anything!"
Big shocker there… Inner Sakura teased. Sakura smiled at Naruto's silliness.
"Naruto, I need you to tell everyone else about our little 'plan', okay? I don't want them, or anyone else, to get the wrong idea…" the pink-haired teen spoke, making sure her blond companion understood.
"Sure, Sakura-chan! No problem!" he answered happily. "No problem at all—!"
"No problem doing what, dobe?" A cool voice alleged behind him.
Naruto craned his neck backwards, glancing to where Sasuke was sitting. "When did you get here, teme?" he asked, thrown off guard of the raven-haired boy's presence.
"I just came here," the Uchiha answered simply in a flat tone, eyeing Kiba and Sakura who were sitting unusually close. "I just 'happened' to overhear your conversation. Care to fill me in?" He added, his last sentence full of sarcasm.
"It was nothing, Sasuke," Kiba filled in for Naruto. "Sakura just asked if he knew where everyone was. When he said 'No', she asked him to go find them for her."
That was a pretty good excuse; if I were Sasuke I'd sure believe it, Sakura thought to herself, nodding in approval of her "boyfriend's" answer.
"Whatever," the youth prodigy stated, dismissing the subject. "What's the deal with you two?" the raven-haired boy asked, pointing at Kiba and Sakura.
Said girl beamed, saying, "Oh, that. Well, we're going out now, Sasuke."
Said boy raised a questioning, elegant eyebrow. "So, you're forfeiting the bet?" he asked, his confused expression turning into an arrogant smirk, "I always knew you'd lose."
Kiba pretended to not hear anything while Sakura glared at the egotistical Uchiha, "I haven't forgotten our little bet. And I'd never forfeit even if my life was put on the line," the pink-haired girl whispered angrily.
Sasuke shrugged before letting out an arrogant grin, "You don't seem like a couple. You're not trying to get me jealous, are you?" His grin seemed to widen in size. "It wouldn't be the first time a girl's tried that—"
Sakura scoffed, grabbing Kiba's hand and pulling him away from the beaming Uchiha.
He thinks he's so hot! Well, I'll show him! He's not the only hottie around here!
Yeah! Show that wannabe how it's done!
"What'd you say to her, teme?" interrogated the blond, having observed the whole "scene." "Sakura-chan sure did look mad." He mentally shivered, knowing how the distinct pink-haired girl could be when she got angry.
"Don't sweat about it, it doesn't matter anyway," Uchiha replied, laying off the topic. "Oi, Naruto, Kiba and Sakura aren't really going out, right?"
Naruto gave Sasuke a foxy grin, "Why? You aren't jealous, are you?" The blond wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at the world "jealous." The latter sneered, earning Naruto a hit on the head. "Ow! Jeez teme, I was just joking! And yeah, they are going out… probably not for long though," he admitted the later truthfully, whining about the bruise forming on his head.
"Right…" the raven-haired boy said, giving Naruto a suspicious look. He stood up, quickly heading inside the school following where he had last seen Sakura go.
"Kiba… I don't think this is going to work out," Sasuke heard Sakura say, her tone sounding dismayed.
Is she breaking up with him? Already? the Uchiha thought, leaning in closer to get a better hearing of the conversation.
"Sure it will, Sakura! Just give it time," Kiba answered, trying to sound cheerful.
"All right…" the pink-haired girl replied before coming out and bumping into someone. "Oh sorry," she stated automatically before looking up. "Sasuke-kun! Erm, I mean Sasuke!" She mentally cursed herself for adding the suffix to his name (absent-mindedly.) "What're you doing!"
"I was just roaming the halls. What, a guy can't roam the halls?" came the smooth reply. "But I think the question is, Sakura, what're you doing?" Sakura felt her face growing red and she couldn't decide whether it was out of embarrassment or anger.
"It's none of your fucking business what I do!" she answered back haughtily, scowling heavily.
Kiba merely stood there and watched the two bicker.
"Don't curse at me," the boy said back, controlling his rising anger.
"Why? You have no reason why I can't curse at you!"
"Why don't you just shut up?"
"Make me!"
"I don't make trash, I burn it."
Sakura scowled at him, her face red from yelling. "What do you want?" She asked him, her expression exasperated. "Proof that we're together?" she pushed on.
Sasuke smirked at the question, "Yeah, proof would be nice."
Sakura, her voice aching from yelling, glared at him. "Fine, then." The girl held her glare as she walked over to where Kiba was, the brunette boy still slightly confused from the earlier argument. Her emerald eyes held fierce determination as she pressed her lips against his. Kiba's eyes widened before eventually he closed them and kissed her back.
Sasuke sneered at the sight, stuffing his hands in his pockets to prevent himself from pulling them apart and punching Kiba in the face.
Mentally, the Uchiha scoffed. Huh, jealousy… he thought. That's a feeling I don't feel. He repeatedly thought that to himself, making sure he thought it hard enough to believe it.
Sakura pulled herself away from the now dazed Kiba. "Happy? There's your proof for ya."
Sasuke lifted his nose in the air in response. "Yeah, right. Any girl can kiss a guy and say that's their boyfriend."
"Whatever, I don't care what you think Sasuke!" Sakura yelled, storming off in anger. Kiba just stood there, still dazed as he watched the pastel pink-haired girl walk off.
Sasuke walked up to Kiba. "You two aren't dating… are you?" he asked, his voice low and dark.
Kiba gulped before answering, "We are. But I think now we're going to break up."
"I wouldn't want to do that after what just happened," the Uchiha advised nonchalantly, pointing at Sakura's retreating body.
"She'll understand," Kiba said before following after Sakura.
"Oi, Sakura!" Kiba called out.
"If that's you Sasuke, go to hell!" Sakura yelled.
Kiba sighed, "It's me, Kiba."
Sakura's fiery verdant eyes calmed down when she saw the boy. "Oh, what is it, Kiba?"
"Well, Sakura, I don't think this 'plan' is going to work out…" Kiba answered truthfully.
Sakura's expression saddened, "Yeah, but it was worth a shot. Besides, I think we affected him a little bit at least." The pink-haired girl spoke as her lips curved into a genuine smile, her anger forgotten.
"Yeah, well anyways, I got to go. I didn't finish some of my homework…" admitted Kiba, putting a hand behind his head as he gave a sheepish grin.
"Go ahead, I'm just going to go back inside," came the reply. The pink-haired girl walked inside quickly, not wanting to run into a certain Uchiha. Unfortunately for her, she did.
"Whoa, where are you heading off to in a hurry?" The raven-haired teen questioned, his voice full of tease. Sakura glared at him, trying to get away from him but he just kept blocking her path.
"What do you want from me now?" The girl asked, eyebrows creasing as her impatience grew.
"We need to talk," Uchiha spoke.
