Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
A/N: In case that was a little confusing, (it was for me anyway!) here's who's doing what: Naruto has to kiss Ino, Ino has to tell Shikamaru how she feels, Shikamaru has to kiss Temari, Temari has to kiss Neji, Neji has to confess his feelings to Tenten, Tenten has to kiss Sasuke, Sasuke has to take Hinata on a date, Hinata has to kiss Sasuke, Lee has to kiss Sakura and Sakura has to go on a date with Naruto. Ok, got it? Here we go!

Two blondes met in the middle of the training area, one with a smirk and one looking rather nervous. It was a clear day, very little breeze and not too warm or cold.
"How did it go, Naruto?" Ino watched the blonde boy curiously as he fidgeted a little.
"Oh yeah, the dares? Great," He answered with a nervous laugh.
"What are they supposed to do?" She asked and he told her, leaving out his own dare. In return, she told him all of the girl's dares. Again, she didn't tell him hers.
"Sasuke and Hinata got lucky…" Naruto smiled, "And I bet I can help Sakura with hers."
"Yeah, you should enjoy that one," Ino grinned wickedly at him. "And Tenten will be happy, in the end at least."
"Good, so we got one match made," Naruto grinned sheepishly.
"Say, what was you dare anyways?" Ino asked.
"M-mine?" Naruto turned pink. She was right there, he knew what he needed to do, but it was just too…weird.
"Yeah…Come on," She raised an eyebrow at him.
"You didn't tell me yours," Naruto pointed out. She sighed.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Ino nodded, "Good work, we might have to scheme together some other time." Ino turned to leave.
"Wait, Ino?" She turned around, and he was right there behind her. Before she could even say anything, he had pressed his lips to hers and run away as fast as he could.
"Aha…So that was his dare," Ino laughed and left the training area.
'So they planned this whole thing, did they? I'll show them,' Someone in the shadows thought, and left without making a single sound.

Temari showed up at the Gai team's usually training area, bright and early. That was, thanks to Tenten's instructions. 'Why do I have to kiss that rock, Neji? I don't want to do this, stupid dare,' She sighed and glanced at her watch. According to Tenten, he ought to be here by now. Tenten herself was even hiding in the bushes, ready to jump out if Neji should decide to do anything to harm the sand nin.
Temari heard a sound to her right and glanced over, recognizing the black ponytail and white eyes. 'About bloody time…' She thought but tried to appear somewhat amused. Neji seemed to slow as he saw her, and she couldn't read his blank face.
"What are you doing here?" He wanted to know.
"I only came here to see you," She replied plainly and walked steadily towards the Hyuuga. He looked ready to fight but never went all the way into his fighting pose. Temari was a little surprised, but just wanted to be out of there at the same time.
"Why?…" He said when she was about a foot away from him.
"Just a little 'hello'" She said and leaned in for it. Temari went the whole way, receiving nothing from him. She had been expecting him to react that way, and it made the whole process that much easier. Suddenly, before Temari had had a chance to pull away, he pushed her away from him.
"Say 'hello' to someone else, I already have someone to greet this morning," He said sternly and walked stiffly past her, only to spot Tenten coming out of the forest nearby. His usually emotionless face failed him for the briefest moment, revealing a hidden look of panic. Temari followed his gaze and smirked at Tenten.
'Perfect timing, he's all yours now,' Temari thought and left without a word.
'Crap…Even if she did like me, seeing that is not going to help things,' He thought and watched her face for any emotion. When he saw that she didn't even seem upset, he assumed she didn't feel the same.
"Tenten, how long were you there?" Neji wanted to know.
"Long enough," She smirked, hiding behind the face she teased him with. "How did it feel?"
"Feel?" He seemed confused by the question.
"You know, was there a spark?" She asked. The questions themselves hurt, but not as much as she expected the answers to. Neji was speechless, he had to tell her and for more than one reason. If she thought he had wanted to kiss Temari…Well, that just wouldn't do. He didn't know how quite to explain it in words, but he could think of a way to…show her.
Before Tenten knew what was happening, Neji had swept her up in his strong arms and was kissing her. She slowly wrapped her arms around him and opened her mouth slowly as his tongue requested access. With a soft sigh, they broke the embrace and he looked into her eyes seriously.
"That, my dear Tenten, was a spark," He said. She smiled up at him happily and he even smiled back at her. "And I wouldn't want to feel it with anyone else."
