The Dating Game – Part 11

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 11 – The Talk

"We need to talk," the Uchiha had spoken, holding Sakura's arm so she wouldn't run off. The said girl scoffed before she noticed Sasuke's serious expression. Her rising anger from their fight slowly calmed down, ever so slowly.

She changed the tone of her voice quietly, saying, "About what?" Sakura's heart beat faster than usual out of two things, one that Sasuke's hand was still gripping her small wrist and two, what they needed to talk about. After all, a girl like her wasn't normally kept in suspense. Sakura looked away, not wanting the raven-haired boy to see the blush that was threatening to creep on her face.

"The bet. I forgot to tell you what happens if you win or if I win," answered Sasuke, his voice making it sound like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Sakura cast her emerald green eyes down. That's not what I expected… she thought to herself before looking up to meet his onyx orbs.

"Oh, well then? What happens?"

"If you win, I'll be your slave for the day. If I win, you have to be my slave and go out with me." He smirked, adding, "Just to torture you."

Sakura raised her eyebrow at his conditions. Oh, that's it? Mentally she smiled, Piece of cake.

The pink-haired girl smiled, "Sure, sounds fair. The bet still continues though, right?"

"Of course," the Uchiha grinned. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have girls to flirt with."

Sakura rolled her eyes at his cockiness before pulling her wrist away from his grasp. And if you'll excuse me I need to go get boys to get you jealous, Inner Sakura grinned evilly. That's right! Prepare to get jealous Sasuke-kun!

The pink-haired teen walked down the hallways, her emerald eyes searching for anyone she knew. "Ino-pig!" she called out cheerfully, smiling at the familiar face.

Ino turned around before smiling at one of her best friends. "Hey forehead-girl!" she greeted. "It feels like I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Well, classes are about to start in five seconds anyways, and we do have first period together!" came her friend's quick reply. Ino grinned as the two buddies walked to class.

"You're going to make Sasuke-kun jealous? Ooh! I love that idea!" squealed the blonde, her sky blue eyes twinkling as she smiled, hands clapping together rapidly while Sakura and her talked in their first period class, English with Asuma. "Hey, Hinata-chan!" She called over to the midnight-haired girl. "Guess what forehead-girl's going to do with Sasuke-kun!"

Sakura looked over at Hinata's reaction as Ino explained to the Hyuuga Heiress what Sakura and her were talking about. Hinata quietly listened as Ino explained, her white eyes darting back and forth from Naruto to Ino while she fiddled with her fingers nervously with her usual blush on her face.

Sakura smiled at Hinata's actions. It's so obvious she likes Naruto… I'm glad for the two of them. The pink-haired girl thought remembering her talk she had with Naruto.

"Hey, Sakura-chan!" Naruto called out, butting in Sakura's and Ino's conversation as they were only halfway from their first class. "Oi, Ino, can I talk to Sakura-chan for a minute?"

The former looked at Sakura with a questioning look as Sakura responded with a shrug. "Sure, Naruto. But make it quick!" the blond-haired girl said before Naruto dragged Sakura away.

"Ow, Naruto what is it?" Sakura said, rubbing her arm from Naruto's tight grasp.

Naruto darted his cerulean blue eyes back and forth from the floor to Sakura's face. "I… kissed Hinata-chan last night," The blond-haired boy admitted quietly, a small blush spreading over whiskery cheeks.

Sakura raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"I kissed Hinata-chan last night!" Naruto blurted out, quickly covering his mouth.

Sakura's emerald green eyes widened. He what?

I always knew those two would end up together… Inner Sakura thought.

"And…" Naruto said, his voice full of anxiety, "I was wondering if you could talk to her for me. You know, see if she feels… you know, the same way." His head cocked to the side, feeling awkward.

Sakura looked at Naruto with a hard gaze. She hesitated before answering, "Sure, Naruto. Of course."

The said boy grinned widely, a bright gleam in his cerulean eyes. Sakura gave him a friendly smile before rejoining her conversation with Ino as the two girls continued their way to class.

Yep, Hinata really likes Naruto, Sakura thought, a sly smile appearing on her face.

Naruto glanced at Sakura, a hopeful look in his eyes. The pink-haired girl smiled, nodding her head showing that yes, Hinata did like Naruto. The blond-haired boy gave a toothy grin, trying his best not to bellow in happiness.

Sakura got up and quickly walked over to Hinata. "Hey, Hinata," she whispered, making sure Ino didn't hear, knowing how her nosey blonde friend would react. After all, Ino loves gossip almost as much as she loves shopping. "You like Naruto, right?" Haruno asked, giving the girl a gentle smile. Hinata blushed, looking down at her fingers as her head gave a very small nod. "He likes you, too." The Hyuuga girl's blush darkened, making her face look as red as a tomato.

The pink-haired girl beamed, I remember when I used to do that…

You mean when you do that, around a certain Uchiha that is… Inner Sakura added slyly.

Sakura shook her head in disagreement to her alter ego's claim until realizing she was still speaking to Hinata.

"Naruto-kun doesn't like me…" Hinata murmured quietly, her colorless eyes looking down sadly.

Sakura put a reassuring arm around her friend's shoulders, "Hinata, if I had nickel for every time I heard that, I'd have one nickel." Hinata gave out a small laugh at the joke, but her eyes still held sadness. Sakura sighed, "He likes you okay? A lot, trust me."

The Hyuuga Heiress looked up hopefully into Sakura's emerald eyes. I hope Sakura-chan's right… the girl thought as she cast a look towards Naruto, quickly looking away when he looked back at her. But something tells me she could be right. She reddened madly at the thought.

Not long after, Asuma came in and immediately began the lesson the minute the school bell rang.

English class went by fast as Sakura, Naruto, Hinata, Ino, Kiba, and Shikamaru headed off to History together. Students talked amongst themselves until Ibiki came in a few seconds after the bell rang. Ibiki immediately started teaching about wars and after a fast 55 minutes later History was over.

Sakura sighed when the bell indicating that second period was over rang. History is not my most 'favorite' subject… she thought to herself as she headed her way over to science. As she walked over to her next class, a boy named Touji came up to her.

"Hey, you're that new girl, Sakura, right?" Sakura gave him a questioning look; her body tensing slightly as she hesitantly nodded her head.

"Oh, oh yeah, sorry, I should introduce myself. I'm Yomura Touji," the boy introduced, holding his hand out. Sakura calmed down, recognizing the familiar flirty glint in the boy's bright blue eyes as she shook his hand, giving him a sociable smile. He had shaggy black hair that was long over his forehead and covered a small part of his eyes.

The guy's cute I guess… but he's nothing compared to the Uchiha, Inner Sakura said, giving her review of the boy.

"So, how do you like Konoha High so far?" Touji asked, starting conversation after finishing talking to her about what it was like being a new student.

"It's okay, I guess. I like the school so far," answered the pink-haired flirt.

"That's good," replied Touji, grinning at her as some black strands fell a little over his eyes.

That… actually looks kind of cute… Sakura thought. Then out of the corner of her eye she noticed Sasuke, eyeing the two suspiciously as they talked. Well, well, look who's here. A perfect time to make him jealous, Sakura thought, quickly taking advantage of the opportunity.

Sakura smiled at the boy, twirling a strand of pink hair around her finger as she pretended to listen to Touji as he spoke. The pink-haired girl giggled lightly, giving him a light shove on his shoulder.

What is she doing? Sasuke thought as she observed her flirty actions. Wait… don't I know that guy? What was his name…? Nura, Meyo, oh wait, Jack? Wait no, why would it be Jack? He doesn't even look like a Jack— However, his thoughts were interrupted when he saw Sakura and Touji giving each other a "friendly" hug. Sasuke glared at the two, clearly not enjoying what he was seeing. Oh wait, now I remember him. His name's… Touji, or something.

Sakura gave a quick glance at the Uchiha, her face letting out a wide grin when she saw the jealousy in his eyes from their hug. Her body tensed when she saw the raven-haired boy walking over to them.

What is he doing…? she thought, laughing lightly as Touji talked about the history of Konoha High.

"Oh, and it's old name is Konohagakure, but it's Konoha for short," Touji informed, ruffling his black hair with his hand. "Sakura-chan?"

"Hey," Sasuke said, walking over to them and standing next to Sakura.

"Hey…" said girl mumbled quietly. Touji looked at Sakura questioningly, then at Sasuke before looking back at Sakura.

"You're… Touji, right?" Sasuke said, pointing his finger at the black-haired boy.

"Yeah, and your Uchiha Sasuke, right?" Touji asked back as Sasuke gave a hint of a nod. The black-haired boy intently looked over at Uchiha, then his eyes went back to Sakura, looking back and forth between the two warily.

"Don't flirt with my Sakura. She's mine," spoke the raven-haired man sternly, putting an arm around Sakura's shoulders and pushing her into him. Touji looked at Sakura with a confused expression.

Sakura blushed naturally from Sasuke's action. Damn it, out of all the things, I wasn't expecting this…!

"Sakura-chan, are you and Sasuke 'together'?" asked the boy suspiciously.

The pink-haired girl quickly shook her head, trying to get out of the Uchiha's grip. "No!" She automatically responded, pushing his arm off of her.

Sasuke closed his onyx eyes and shook his head. He opened them again saying, "She just doesn't want anyone to know." He put his arm around her and pulled her into him again, smirking as she watched her struggle. He leaned down, whispering in her ear but loud enough for Touji to hear, "You shouldn't be so shy about it, sweetie."

Sakura scoffed at the remark, struggling out of his (surprisingly firm, she noted) grip as she noticed Touji's appearance twist into an unreadable one.

Then Sasuke's face turned stern once more as he looked at the black-haired teen, his Sharingan slowly forming on his original dark onyx eyes. "I suggest you leave her alone, if you know what's good for you."

Touji quickly nodded, backing away from the two. After all, everyone at the high school knew not to mess with an Uchiha. Sasuke watched him leave before turning his attention to the pink-haired girl.

"Come on, we're going to be late for science," stated the boy nonchalantly, quickly grabbing Sakura's hand and forcing her to walk with him to their science class.

"What'd you do that for?! He was eating out of the palm of my hands!" She fumed, eyebrows furrowing as her tone almost sounded whiny. "Did you have to interfere?" She paused her ranting, Sasuke still pulling her along. She then yanked her hand out of his. "You weren't jealous, were you Sasuke-kun?"

Said boy stopped, causing Sakura to walk into his back. Not a moment was spared as he turned around, facing her. "I wasn't jealous," he murmured in a low, quiet voice.

"Right, I'll believe that when cows jump over the moon, " responded the girl, meeting his dark onyx orbs with her brilliant emerald ones. Sasuke stared at her hard before continuing his way to their next class, unconsciously snatching her hand back in his as he pulled her along.

And surprisingly, Sakura didn't take her hand back.

When they entered the classroom, Sasuke had let go of Sakura's had and quickly walked over to his seat.

"You, Uchiha Sasuke," Kurenai spoke, pointing at the two, "and you, Haruno Sakura, are late! Take your seats and hurry up." Sakura quickly apologized quietly, taking her seat beside Sasuke since they were partners.

"Don't think you're getting away with what you did," Sakura whispered to the raven-haired boy threateningly.

"Didn't plan on it," Sasuke answered smoothly, his expression that of a serene one. Involuntarily, the remark sent a shiver down Sakura's spine, the girl despising the fact that it did.

Her face flushed (out of anger, she told herself) from what had happened as she stared down at her closed hands. I don't like him, I don't like him, I don't like him, her mind repeated to herself. Why would I? He's an insufferable, possessive arrogant jerk—!

Who has the looks formed personally from the Gods, her alter ego piped in. Sakura shook her head roughly in an attempt to rid herself of her thoughts.

"Admit it, you were jealous of me and Touji," Sakura whispered back to the Uchiha cleverly as Kurenai spoke about the scientific facts of plants.

"Why would I be jealous?" Sasuke answered evenly, onyx orbs looking Sakura up and down.

"Because you're in love with my body," Sakura remarked, giving him a scowl from his perverted gaze. Sasuke scoffed, stuffing his hands in his pockets as he pointed his attention to Kurenai's teachings.

Got him there! Yeah! That's one point for us and zip for Sasuke! Inner Sakura thought cheerily.

Sakura leered at Sasuke's reaction, Just as I thought.

Now take it a step farther!

Sakura leaned slightly into Sasuke, feeling the boy flinch slightly. "Just admit it. You were jea-lous."

Sasuke ignored her comment. "You know Sakura-chan," Uchiha hummed quietly, smirking as he noticed that she was still leaning on him, "you can lean on me for the rest of the period. Not that I mind."

Sakura blushed at her mistake, quickly backing off of him. "You're so arrogant…" Sakura mumbled to herself, crossing her arms over her chest.

Science ended as everyone shuffled out of the classes. The rest of the periods, including lunch, breezed by Sakura. Soon it was the end of the day before she knew it. As she stopped by her locker she noticed a familiar face walking up to her.

"Hey, Sakura-chan!" greeted Uzumaki Naruto with a wide grin.

"Hey," responded the said girl, smiling. "Did you ask Hinata out yet?"

The blond shook his head, a faint blush on his cheeks. "I will… but just until I get the courage too," admitted he, grinning sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head with his hand laughing nervously.

Sakura shut her locker glancing at Naruto, "Work on it, got it? Oh look, there's Tenten. I'm going to go, 'kay?" Naruto nodded, walking off as Sakura walked over to the brown-haired girl.

"Hey there, Sakura-chan," Tenten communicated, greeting her friend with a warm smile on her face.

"Hey Tenten-chan, how are things with you and Neji-kun?" the pink-haired girl teased, jabbing her friend lightly with her elbow.

The bun-haired girl blushed, crossing her arms over her chest and looking away. A nervous laugh escaped her throat. "I don't know what you're talking about," the brunette murmured back in a sarcastic tone.

The two friends giggled at their childish ways. "I swear Tenten-chan, you can be so immature sometimes," commented Sakura, beaming at her close friend.

"We're only seventeen, Sakura-chan, you make it sound like we're thirty or something!" Tenten teased back. "Come on, we're not that old."

Sakura gave her a knowing look and Tenten smiled. "Hey, want to come over to my house?" offered the pink-haired girl.

Tenten nodded, "Sure. I have nothing else to do anyways, so why not?"

Sakura nodded in agreement as the two walked over to Sakura's black Spider 360 Ferrari Convertible.

Tenten whistled, "Nice car."

Sakura smiled sheepishly giving out a small chuckle, "Heh, thanks." The two got in the car and Sakura drove off towards her house.

"So, how's the bet?"
