Episode 55: Truth or Dare Dating

Sasuke headed over to the training grounds, hands in his pockets. I haven't seen Sutefanii at all today. I wonder if she's done training for the day…Just as he finished his thought, he looked up and saw the brunette girl laying in the grass near the three posts. A book was lying open in front of her, but as he walked up silently behind her, she sighed and looked away from the text off into the distance.

"Day-dreaming?" Sasuke asked, sitting next to her. Sutefanii was startled and sat up halfway, while also shutting her book hurriedly.

"Um, yeah…" she answered softly. Her gloomy, thoughtful expression faded. "What's up?" the brunette asked, in a much more merry voice.

"I was looking for y – I, I was going to train, but now I'm distracted," Sasuke cut himself off, a slight blush tinting his cheeks. "I've never seen you so quiet…" he smirked, turning her thoughts elsewhere.

She raised an eyebrow, but went along with the change of subject. "What do you mean?" she asked playfully.

"You're a lot like Naruto…much less annoying, but still really similar. You both are constantly smiling and cheerful. You can't ever sit still or stop talking or joking or pulling pranks –"

"Oh yeah? And what about you?" Sutefanii asked defensively. "You're normally Mr. Silent and Mysterious and yet when it's just the two of us, you totally open up!"

Sasuke's mouth hung open for a moment but he shut it and looked away. When he turned back, his unexpressive mask was in place again, although his tone of voice was still amused. "You never answered my question. What is the deal with the quiet time I interrupted?"

"Interrupted is right…" she mumbled under her breath. Sasuke's dark gaze caught her hazel eyes and held them for a moment. Sutefanii sighed and ran her hand through her hair, causing the blonde highlights to sparkle in the bright sunlight. "I'm not Miss Sunshine all the time. It's just the natural role I fall into for defensive purposes against my family. If I act like everything is so happy and great all the time, they leave me alone no questions asked. No matter how much pain I'm in, I know better than to show it…" She sighed again and then looked up at him, her eyes wide. "I've never told anyone this before…not even Naruto."

Sasuke stood up and reached out a hand to help Sutefanii to her feet. "Well, I'm glad you can confide in me…I'm happy to listen, anytime." She smiled at him – not one of her normally blinding grins, but a genuinely happy one. Sasuke thought to himself, Go for it Uchiha. No time like the present, since you already shared such a 'touching moment'… "Sutefanii?"

"Sasuke?" she asked at the exact same moment. They shared a quiet laugh before Sutefanii gestured to him and said, "You first."

"I was just wondering…are you…doing anything later?"

She looked at him for a moment in surprise, before slowly saying, "No. Why?"

"I thought maybe we could…hang out tonight or something." Sasuke rubbed the back of his neck uneasily.

Sutefanii toyed with a strand of her hair and tried not to giggle at his nervousness. "Sure. What did you have in mind?" she asked calmly.

Not exactly the response I'd normally get from a girl, but when has Sutefanii ever been like any other girl? Sasuke thought. Out loud, he said, "You'll see. I'll come by you place around five." He stuck his hands into his pockets, trying to recover some sense of "cool".

"OK," Sutefanii nodded. She bent down to pick up her book. Hugging it to her chest, she started to walk back towards town. "See you then," she called as she flicked her hair over her shoulder. Sasuke watched her move away. As soon as he couldn't make out her shape anymore, he let out a big whoosh of air – he didn't even realize he'd been holding his breath.

Sutefanii nervously awaited five o'clock. I have to get him away from here fast. Kurisuten been asking awkward questions all afternoon and she won't let this slide easily…For Sasuke's sake, we need to move fast before the rest of my family gets wind of the news – that I'm going out with the last Uchiha in Konoha! The brunette straightened out the edge of her shirt and leaned against the wall outside of the Jeraado compound. Please don't let anyone come out here…she thought desperately as Sasuke walked up.

"Hey," Sasuke said, his dark eyes lighting up at the sight of her. "You look great…as usual."

"Thanks," she said blushing lightly. "Shall we go?" He seemed to sense her urgent desire to get away from her home.

"Right. Come on," he said softly, grabbing her hand and tugging her along beside him.

"Oh WOW! Sasuke…this is unbelievable! How did you ever manage to find this place?!" Sutefanii gasped. The two genin were standing on a light grassy platform area just above the Hokage Stone. A red and white checkered blanket complete with a picnic basket rested on the ground beside them. He smirked and sat down. Patting the space next to him, he looked up at her, still grinning smugly. She knelt down beside him, watching him carefully unpack the basket.

After the two had eaten, they sat back to watch the sun set over Konoha. It was the ultimate spot to view the fading rainbow of colors in the sky. Sutefanii turned to Sasuke.

"OK, let's play a game," she said slyly.

He looked at her, a smirk creeping over his face once again. "Depends on what you want to play…" he answered slowly.

"Truth or dare?" she smiled at him mischievously.

"Truth" he replied coolly.

"Did you actually make all this amazing food, or did you buy it?" she asked playfully.

He blushed slightly and shrugged. "I made it."

"Wow – everything was fantastic. You're a great chef!"

"No big deal," he said modestly. "Truth or dare?"

"Hmm…truth!"

"Why did you tell me all about you and your family problems earlier?"

"Because…you seem very trustworthy. And…well…something about you makes me want to open up to you." Sutefanii's cheeks were flushed. "Now, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Why am I the only one you open up to? You may have skillfully avoided the question earlier, but don't think you're off the hook…"

"…Even though you act a lot like Naruto and we seem like total opposites…I just always felt like we could relate. Now I know I didn't imagine it…we are alike in the sense that we hide a part of ourselves." Sutefanii nodded at his answer thoughtfully. "Um OK, truth or dare?"

"Dare," she replied. He grinned at her in a way that made her start to regret the decision.

"Let's see…I dare you…to…yell 'I love Rock Lee' at the top of you're lungs from up here." She blinked. That's all? Too easy. "Don't forget to add your name…Sakura." Sasuke smirked evilly as Sutefanii stood and giggled.

"I, Haruno Sakura, love Rock Lee with all my heart!" she screamed out. Her words echoed across the village and she collapsed next to Sasuke in hysterics.

"Priceless," she said, her shoulders still shaking with laughter. "Your turn!"

"Dare me…" he answered.

"I dare you…to strip and sit in your underwear until your next turn! HA!" she burst into laughter again when she saw the expression on his face. He expected something simple and not embarrassing – but Sutefanii was not taking it easy on him. "Hey, no complaints, it's a pretty warm night…" He sighed and tugged his shirt off over his head.

"Oh baby! Take it off!" the brunette teased him as he pulled off his shorts and threw them at her head. "Ooh, you're a boxer boy…interesting." She grinned as he turned bright red. His pale toned torso shone in the coming darkness, especially against his black boxers.

"OK, OK. Truth or dare?" he watched her hopefully, wanting to get her back for this. She clasped her hands together, unwilling to give him the satisfaction of picking dare.

"Truth!"

"Damn! Well…seeing as you dared me to do this ridiculous thing, it's only fair to ask…are you one of my many rabid fan-girls who would KILL to see me like this?" He met her gaze squarely.

"Do I look like I'm foaming at the mouth for you, Uchiha?" she asked him, one eyebrow raised challengingly.

"Ha, I guess not…that's a very good thing to know though."

"Why?"

"I usually make an effort to avoid fan-girls at all costs. To think that I might actually be on a date with one of them would kind of ruin the moment…" he said slyly, leaning towards her.

"And what moment would that be?" Sutefanii asked coyly.

"This," he replied. Moving his hand under her chin, he tilted her head upwards. Their eyes met and they slowly moved closer together, each expecting something to happen and prevent this moment like it had always happened in the past. But finally, Sasuke and Sutefanii's mouths met in a soft, sweet kiss. It ended after a few minutes and they moved away from each other slightly. Sutefanii finally managed to speak.

"Truth or dare, Sasuke?"

"Dare," he said, barely audible.

"I dare you to do that again," she whispered, smirking. The dark-haired boy leaned in towards her again and completed his task.

Well, here it is. Sasuke and Sutefanii have FINALLY kissed, after many MANY failed attempts in previous chapters. The question is, will their little romance last through the final rounds of the Chunin Exams? Will Naruto find out what's been going on? How will Ino react? What ever happened between Ino and Sakura anyway? Will Lee recover soon, and will Sakura give him a chance? Will Hinata ever stand a chance with Naruto? These questions and more will be answered in future episodes of A Complicated Situation! Stay tuned!!
