IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ.
Ok here we go. I just want to clarify this matter and hopefully won't ever have to explain again (though I most probably will have to).
The title of my fic, "Never Been Kissed" is in fact referring to Naruto and/or Sasuke, it's really however you want to interpret it. Now I know there was that "accidental" smashing of lips in the third episode of the anime, I know it happened.
But for the two boys, it did not count as an actual first kiss.
If you probe into the mind of a twelve-year-old Sasuke and a twelve-year-old Naruto -who both by the way hate each other's guts- I'm almost positive that they would have blocked that incident from their memory. So for the purpose of my fic, it DOES NOT COUNT. Yes it did happen but they DO NOT acknowledge that as their first kiss. Naruto would like to believe that his first kiss will not only have his own consent but of his partner, whomever it may be, as well. As for Sasuke, I can't tell you exactly what he thinks.
So please, stop telling me: "They've already been kissed!" "This isn't right!" I've made my decision and am going to stick by it. If you really have any questions you really need to ask, you can email me.
But for now, why don't you just read on first, get to the end, and then complain if you really have to.
Thanks to all you who have read up to here so far, I do hope you enjoy!
Now let's get on with the story!
Chapter Three:
Nineteen days till...
"Let's play a drinking game."
Where am I again? Naruto wondered, oh right, Shikamaru and Ino's birthday party… Damn, maybe I have been having too much to drink. Naruto scratched his head,
"Eh... I don't know Kiba... Maybe I shouldn't..." replied the blonde giving a sheepish smile. Kiba rolled his eyes,
"What? Why not?"
I've had a lot to drink already!"
"So in other words, you're afraid of losing, aren't you," taunted Kiba, knowing that with Naruto he had hit the right buttons.
"What! Never! Bring out the drinks Kiba, I'm taking you downnnnnnn!" cried Naruto pumping his fist enthusiastically into the air. Behind them, Sakura giggled nervously,
"Are you sure you two should be doing this?" she asked.
"What are you talking about?" said Kiba, "you're going to be playing too! And the rest of you!" Kiba spun around randomly pointing at those near by. Some looked a little scared (Hinata and Chouji), some looked annoyed (Neji and Shino), some were excited (Lee who could never turn down a chance to show Sakura how great he was) and others didn't really care. Naruto looked around,
"Shouldn't we wait for the Shikamaru? And Ino? It is their birthday after all..." mentioned Naruto as he watched Kiba gather everyone into a circle. Sakura nodded,
"Don't worry, you guys set up and I'll go find them." With that, Sakura bounced off leaving the rest to listen as Kiba began explaining the rules.
"This game is called Truth, Dare or Drink," began Kiba.
"What?" interupted TenTen, "That sounds exactly like Truth or Dare."
"Ah, but we get to drink," pointed out Lee.
"Anyways," continued Kiba, "It's like the normal Truth or Dare but with a twist. You get the awesome option of being able to drink."
"Do we have to?" questioned Chouji.
"Uh yeah. Don't forget if you turn down anything, you have to drink twice the amount-"
"Wait. You mean the whole glass?" interupted Naruto.
"Of course," answered Kiba, "how else are we going to get drunk?"

"Sa-Sasuke-kun, I knew you'd come!" cried out Ino as she ran to him. She may have grown out of her silly little crush (she had the sexy Shikamaru now) but there would always be that trivial rivalry that she and Sakura would forever carry out (even if it wasn't for the affection of the Uchiha).
The dark haired boy who was finally out of the tree and on the ground, stiffened. It wasn't that he didn't like Ino, but the girl could just be so annoying at times. Sasuke often wondered what the lazy nin saw in her. "I knew you'd come," she repeated when he didn't reply, "And to believe Sakura said that you probably wouldn't. But I knew you wouldn't be the party pooper this time like you've been in the past." Sasuke raised a perfectly arched and shapely eyebrow,
"Hn." There was almost a hint of a question in Sasuke's grunt, Ino took it as 'What? Party pooper? Me?'.
"It's just that lately, Sasuke-kun, you seem a little… calmer and less… angry?" explained Ino slowly as she tried to find the right words. Sasuke cringed but did not answer.
"So Anyway, are you going to come in or not?" asked Ino. Sasuke hadn't moved from his spot. In fact, he looked like he was trying to inch away. "Sasuke-kun?" The brunette shook his head,
"I can't. I have other plans." The blonde haired girl looked confused,
"Then... why exactly are you here? And why, were you in my tree? You were coming to visit, were you not?" Ino seemed to be demanding an answer as she impatiently tapped her foot. Inside, Sasuke had begun to panic but he kept his cool demeanour on the outside. Crap, he thought, what am I supposed to say? I was spying? On Naruto and Sakura? He sighed,
"I came... to say... Happy Birthday," he said slowly with no emotion and looked to Shikamaru who was still lying in the grass instead of the kunoichi.
"Thanks, Sasuke-kun!" cried Ino happily and turned her head as well towards Shikamaru, "Shikamaru..." she said warningly. The brown haired shinobi sighed and muttered something about women being so troublesome. Then he finally gave a slight nod to acknowledge Sasuke who returned it with his own stiff nod.
"See you later." Were Sasuke's parting words before he disappeared with a quick 'poof'.
"What are you guys doing out here? Come inside, we're going to play a drinking game!" called Sakura as poked her head out the door. Ino nodded,
"We'll be there in a sec!" Sakura went back inside. Ino extended her hand to Shikamaru and slowly pulled him up,
"Aw, that's too bad, I wanted Sasuke to stay. But he seemed a little weird, didn't he?" Shikamaru shrugged,
"I guess so."
"Well, at least he came to say 'happy birthday', that was so nice of him!" Shikamaru rolled his eyes, not that he cared, but he didn't really want Ino talking about her old crush too much.
"Come on, let's go inside. There a party inside I'm sure you want to join."

Hinata's cheeks were thoroughly flushed even though the girl had only a single drink. She wouldn't have been drinking in the first place if Kiba and Naruto hadn't insisted that she join in on the 'fun'. And if Kiba and Naruto hadn't made her join, she wouldn't have gotten asked a dare that she, Hinata, would never do. So in the end, Hinata chose the drink over the dare; what harm was in drinking a little alcohol anyway?
Lee and Ino were most definitely drunk. And Kiba... Well, Hinata couldn't help but giggle every time her teammate slurred his words or willingly accepted the embarrassing dares given to him. She could tell Chouji and Sakura a little too much to drink by the way they were their faces were unnaturally bright red. And then there was Naruto. He appeared to be out of his mind drunk. Probably more so than Lee or Ino, which is a scary thought.
"A-A-Ano... what did you say?" asked Naruto, his voice all raspy, cheeks bright red. Kiba rolled his eyes and gave Naruto a look,
"Do I always have to repeat myself? If you had to kiss someone, who would you choose?" Naruto blushed, which was pretty hard to tell because he was already red from drinking.
"Ki-kiss? Who? Me?" Naruto seemed jumpy, nervous. The others around him giggled.
"I think the alcohol has made Naruto even slower than usual," laughed Ino. Naruto only looked fazed, he wasn't paying attention to what was going on around him.
"Come on," growled Kiba, "You're going to have to choose someone within the next couple of weeks anyways! Spit it out Naruto!" Hinata's eyes widened, what was her teammate talking about? Her crush was going to do what!
"Na-Naruto-kun," Hinata stumbled out slowly, "What is Kiba t-talking about?" Luckily, the one drink that Hinata did have, had given her that giant leap of courage it took to ask. Otherwise on any other given day, she would have been to shy. The blonde only gave her a big cheeky grin,
"Ramen... ramen..." he began chanting slowly. Hinata looked helplessly at Kiba for an explanation.
"Naruto's going to kiss someone before his sixteenth birthday."
"Wh-what!" blurted out the Hyuuga heir, "who is Naruto going to kiss?" There was almost a demanding tone in her voice.
"Look," Sakura pointed out, "Naruto's definitely lost it now." But Hinata wasn't even paying attention anymore, she was only focused on was Kiba's answer.
"It could be anybody," Kiba replied with a shrug.
Hinata sighed in relief. If it could be anybody, then maybe there was hope for her! Though not a single thing had happened in the four years Hinata had a crush on Naruto, she could not lose hope yet. The dark haired girl looked towards her crush who was carelessly bouncing around the room hyperactively and focused on his lips. Those full, perky pink lips were finally going to be hers.
Yes, that was it, Hyuuga Hinata was going to kiss Uzumaki Naruto.

Sakura slowly twirled her pink hair with the index finger of one hand while the other hand held an empty cup.
"I don't know Ino, I can't really say if it's fish lips or not." The two girls were sitting on Ino's couch, drunkenly discussing the possibilities of what lay behind Kakashi's mask. Shikamaru sighed as he walked up,
"Come on you two. It's time to go home now," he told them slowly, as if talking to five-year-olds. Ino violently shook her head,
"I live here! You go home!" she cried, spitting as she spoke.
"I am going home," Shikamaru murmered then huffed under his breath 'you troublesome woman...' But Ino wasn't even paying attention, her whole body had begun to relax and her eyelids lowering by the second. The chunnin watched as the blonde began to settle on her couch and close her eyes. He turned to Sakura who only shrugged.
"Well, I'm going to go home. You can take care of a sleepy drunk right?" Sakura asked while slowly attempting to leave the comfort of the couch. Shikamaru nodded,
"Yeah, yeah. But are you going to be fine?" he asked. Sakura shook her head,
"I feel a little dizzy, but I am a chunnin now, after all. I should be fine." She paused, "But you are going to have a problem with him." The pink haired girl giggled and pointed to Naruto who had finally stopped running around the room and settled for hanging upside down in one of the trees in Ino's backyard. Shikamaru sighed loudly for the second time. It had been already hard enough to get the rest of the drunken shinobi out of the house, but Naruto? That would be beyond troublesome.
"Sakura, if you don't mind..." The pink haired girl was already ushering Naruto out of the house, she was used to his antics by now.
"Ne, ne, ne! Let's go eat RAMEN!" yelled Naruto triumphantly flew to his teammate's side.
"I'm tireeedddddddd," whined Sakura, "I'm only going to walk you home. Anyways Baka, the ramen stand isn't even open at this time."
"WHAT! NO RAMEN!"
"Come on Naruto, let's just get out of here." Shikamaru watched as the duo left the house and then turned his head back to the couch.
There she was. Snoring, loudly I might add. He gave a small, amused smile and slowly knelt before the couch to gingerly lift the sleeping girl into his arms. He was thankful that Ino's father was on a mission and her mother was visiting a friend's house.
"Happy Birthday," Shikamaru whispered then gave a small kiss on her forehead and carried her to her bedroom. After all, isn't that what boyfriends are for?

Sasuke was panting harshly as he lay on the forest floor. Damn, it's late, he thought to himself looking into the night sky, later than usual.
Earlier, the stoic boy had found himself more immersed in his daily practice than usual. He wasn't allowed to be wasting his time partying and hanging out. He was supposed to be training and getting prepared for the one fight that he was living for. It was the only thing keeping him alive. That and...
Sasuke sat up. What had just run through his mind? He hoped it wasn't what he thought it was, and what he thought it was… well it was something that could never be said aloud.
Ever.
I wonder where the dobe is anyways, thought Sasuke, probably being the centre of attention like always, laughing and partying with everyone else. The Uchiha stood up and stretched to get ready to start again. It wasn't that late -if you call midnight not late- and he figured he could still get in another hour or two.

Sakura pulled Naruto by the arm. Why hadn't the boy calmed down yet? He was still every bit as full of energy now as he was earlier that day.
"Sa-Saaaaaakura-chaaaaaaaan! You're hurting meeeeeeee!" whined the blonde. Sakura sighed and loosened her death grip.
"Hurry up Naruto, I wanna get home!" Naruto pouted,
"Goooo home then! I'm a big, big boy, I'll survive!" He flexed a bicep to prove his point.
"But you're drunk!" protested Sakura, "And who knows what you'll do if I leave! Just let me take you home!" Naruto shook his head and pulled out of Sakura's grasp. He then plopped down his butt onto the ground.
"I don't want to go home yet!" he yelled in a whiny childish voice. Sakura clenched her fists; she was beginning to get angry,
"GET THE HELL UP! I. WANT. TO. GO. HOME!"
"THEN GO HOME!" yelled Naruto back at her arms crossed over his chest.
Get off the ground you stupid idiot before I..., the inner Sakura was a lot scarier than what most people saw. Or maybe not.
"UZUMAKI NARUTO! GET OFF YOUR FATASS!" screamed Sakura a fist raised in threat. Naruto violently shook his head,
"I don't wanna!" There was a very twitchy pink haired eyebrow going up and down, but Sakura was not yet ready to admit defeat.
"And why not!" She had lowered her fist by now and let out a sigh. She repeated that mantra that Shizune told her and Tsunade to when they were angry, 'Violence is not the answer. Violence is not the answer…' Taking a deep breath, the girl refocused her attention on her teammate. "Naruto?" The boy slightly slumped his shoulders and looked to the floor.
"I don't feel like going back to my empty apartment just yet," mumbled Naruto softly.
"What?" Sakura wasn't sure if she had heard right. Naruto shook his head and looked up with one of his goofy smiles,
"How 'bout I walk you home," said Naruto, "you live right by here anyways. And I promise you that I'll get home safe and sound, 'kay?" Sakura let out another sigh, I guess I did hear right. But what did Naruto mean by that? He usually never says anything that is remotely sad or depressing. Now she wasn't sure her teammate was quite so drunk as he seemed.
All of a sudden she felt her whole body being lifted off the ground as Naruto picked her up.
"TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!" he cried and ran through the streets and towards her house. Nevermind, Sakura took it back, he was drunk after all.

Sasuke dropped his kunai when he heard the sound getting closer and closer. What the hell is that? Singing?
"OH-BABY, BABY, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW... THAT SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT HERE?" The key was horribly off and words slurred.
Oh god. He knew that voice, Sasuke heard it every single day. What the hell is Naruto doing out by the training grounds at this time of night? And why the heck is he singing? Sasuke turned towards the deafening noise to see Naruto strutting into the clearing.
"HIT ME BABY ONE- OH! SAAA- SUUUU- UKEEeee..." Naruto slurred the last bit more than usual. Sasuke stared at the other boy in disbelief. Is he drunk? He watched as Naruto began walking up to him, stumbling slightly with each step.
"Naruto. What the hell." A disgusted sneer rose to Sasuke's face. Naruto was only a couple meters away from him when he came to a stop.
"I can seeeeee youuuuu," he hiccupped as he pointed at Sasuke who in turn rolled his eyes.
"Go home. You're drunk."
"Really?" asked Naruto dumbfounded, "but I didn't drink that much..." The blonde stared at his rival. "You know… Sasuke..."
"Hn." Naruto walked right up to the other boy, which was a little too close in Sasuke's opinon. Then he slightly tilted his head and baby blue eyes stared right at Sasuke who hated the close proximity.
"What." Sasuke said with a glare. Naruto only smiled,
"You look way prettier in the moonlight..." For a second, Sasuke's eyes widened as his cheeks flushed slightly. He's drunk, Sasuke reminded himself as he turned away from Naruto, who was still staring at him intently, wait- prettier! Sasuke flinched.
"You're drunk," he said aloud to reassure himself.
"Nooo... I'm not drunk. I came here to... oh, what did I come here for again? Oh right! I came here to stare at the stars," rambled Naruto. Sasuke sighed,
"Come on, let's go," he commanded as he began dragging the blonde.
"Awww, not you too!" Naruto tried to resist but wasn't nearly as strong as he was when he wasn't intoxicated. Sasuke smirked at the struggling Naruto who obviously thought he could break free from Sasuke's hold.
"Sasuke! Let me goooooooo! I don't wanna go home!" Suddenly, Naruto opened his mouth wide and clamped it over Sasuke's arm and sunk his teeth into the pale, alabaster skin.
"Argh! Dammit Naruto!" the dark haired boy cried in pain. Sasuke quickly smacked his teammate over the head, who instantly passed out. Sasuke picked him up and threw him over his shoulder. "Dammit," he said again as he looked at his bleeding arm. Who knew Naruto had such sharp teeth?
-
Sasuke dug into Naruto's pockets to look for the boy's keys when he reached Naruto's apartment building.
"Where are they?" grumbled Sasuke to himself as he searched the boy. He tried Naruto's apartment door again. It was locked. Sasuke dropped Naruto onto the ground and lightly smacked him to wake him up.
"Naruto. Where the hell are your keys?" The boy didn't flinch. Sasuke tried again. "Naruto. Your keys." Nothing. Getting a little aggravated, this time Sasuke gave the other boy a slight punch to the stomach.
"... Ugh..." was the only sound that came out of Naruto. Crap, thought Sasuke, what am I going to do with him? He nudged the boy lying on the floor who again gave no response. The chunnin sighed and leaned Naruto against the wall.
That was it, Sasuke had enough of this nonsense, he was just going to leave him there. As Sasuke was about to leave, he felt a tug on his leg. The boy looked back to see his teammate holding onto his leg,
"Let me go." Naruto's eyes were closed as if he was still sleeping, but he refused to let go. Sasuke bent down to pry off the tanned fingers that were holding on so tightly. As he released himself from Naruto, he began to hear a strange rumbling. He looked up to realize what a mistake he had made. Naruto's mouth opened wide for the second time that night but this time it wasn't to bite Sasuke. No, it was to barf. All over Sasuke and himself.

Bright blue eyes opened to find an unknown and strange surrounding. Where am I? thought Naruto. He sat up only to feel a sudden sharp pain in his head,
"Uh..." he groaned clutching the back of his head. His eyes wandered the room from the futon he seemed to have slept on. It looked like he was in a house. And whoever owned it, was definitely someone with no taste, what-so-ever. There weren't any decorations on the walls, barely any furniture or anything. Well, it wasn't like Naruto had much in his apartment but at least his place looked somewhat cheery. This just looked so... sad.
Naruto found a glass of water next to him and quickly gulped down the entire glass. His mouth had just felt so dry. He pushed back the blanket and stood up. As the blonde looked down he realized he wasn't even wearing his own clothes. It was a plain grey t-shirt and pajamma pants. At least the person who dressed him at least had the decency to leave his boxers on.
The blonde yawned and scratched his head. He noticed there was futon laid out in the room, which looked like it had been recently occupied. Naruto started to walk to towards the futon curiously when he felt a sudden pressure on his bladder.
"AHH! I HAVE TO GO PEEEEEEEE!" yelled Naruto clutching wildly down below. He hadn't taken a piss at all the night before and he was pretty sure he had drunk a lot. Running around frantically, Naruto slid open the first door within his reach. Clothes… he was in a closet.
"CRAAAAAP!" Naruto quickly tried the other door, which luckily led into a hallway. Using all his might, he flung open the next door in sight. It was a bathroom.
"YESS!" he cried in victory and was about to run in to pee. That is, until he realized something was blocking his way. No, someone.
Sasuke.
A very NAKED Sasuke.
