Day 2
Sakura was walking down the road, realizing that she'd actually have to go on a date with Naruto either today or tomorrow. She rolled her eyes and grunted. It wouldn't be that bad, would it? It was only Naruto after all, and it's not like she had never been stuck with him before. Being on a team with Naruto and Sasuke was like being with just Naruto, at times Sasuke was so silent he was non-existent.
"Sakura-chan!" She was brought out of her brooding by a familiar voice. She looked up, 'Finally, lets get this over with,' Inner Sakura said, but they were both surprised when it was Rock Lee who skidded to a stop before her. "Sakura-chan!" He repeated, and she just stared back. This wasn't out of the ordinary for Lee.
"What is it, Lee?" She asked.
'Perfect,' Naruto thought from the shadows. 'I can save her!…Wait a minute, I bet Sasuke that he wouldn't be running 100 laps around Konoha…Crud! I have to get her to kiss him!' Naruto smacked himself.
"Ah! Love will always prevail!" Gai said from the bushes with fire in his eyes.
"Oi, where'd you come from?" Naruto wanted to know.
"I am keeping an eye on my beloved pupil!" Gai announced, and then Lee turned to see them.
"Gai-sensai!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensai!"
"Lee!"
And then a huge sunset appeared behind the two of them as they rode a turtle towards it, leaving Naruto and Sakura to sweatdrop.
"Naruto?" Sakura spotted him. "Were you spying on me?"
"Me? Oh…No, I mean… I was just taking a walk and saw you and Lee and didn't want to disturb. It looked like a pretty serious talk and I didn't want to- NOW LEE!" Naruto jumped out of the way as Sakura turned to where he was looking, only to be met by Lee's mouth pressed against hers.
Sakura screamed, partly from shock and partly from the rage of being set up. Lee looked pleased with himself, but then noticed Sakura's rage and scrambled away to leave Naruto to deal with it, yelling 'love always prevails!' as he went.
"Hey…Hey Sakura, calm down a bit…" Naruto said as he spotted the vein popping out of her forehead. 'Wait a minute…Her dare was to go on a date with me…' Naruto smirked. "Let me make it up to you, I'll treat you to lunch at the Ichiraku."
Sakura's rage diminished completely. 'Did he just?…' She thought. .:Yeah he did, thought it would take longer:. Inner Sakura replied. 'Yeah actually, I did.' .:I know… Me too, I just lost a bet with your conscience.:. 'WHAT?'
"You mean…Like a date?" She asked. Naruto was about to laugh but didn't let himself. He knew she had to say yes, but she wasn't aware of that. Naruto was going to savor this moment.
"If that's what you want to call it, sure," He gingerly took her hand and led her to the restaurant. He felt her stiffen, but she relaxed soon enough.

Hinata and Tenten had staged their dares, since it was practically the same thing. Tenten would have done it sooner, except that she was now dating Neji. That made things… more difficult. So Tenten had found from Sakura and Ino where to find Sasuke, and Hinata had made sure that Neji would be so busy at home that he wouldn't see anything. The two girls were positioned on either side of the Uchiha's usual training area, when he approached Tenten would go first.
"There he is," Tenten said into a walkie-talkie. "The raven has landed, and the katana is going in."
"Copy that, Katana," Hinata replied into the walkie-talkie and watched as Tenten leaped out of the bushes towards Sasuke.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked Tenten coldly, she was surprised she'd even gotten that much out of him.
"What, why can't we be friends?" Tenten forced a smile.
"I already have friends, now what do you want?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow at her.
"Not much, really," She walked closer to him. It seemed like he was letting her come close to him, when really he was debating how close he could let her get before he used his Grand Fireball. "I just want to compare something, if that's alright with you."
"Compare wh-" He was cut off by Tenten's lips meeting his own. Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise. She pulled away and frowned at him.
"Nothing compared to the Hyuuga, your poor fan club," Tenten shook her head and left. Sasuke stood there in surprise. 'Nothing compared to the Hyuuga? Guess that means Neji did his dare already… And what about my fan club? I do not kiss badly!'
"Katana out, the raven's all yours now," Tenten said into the walkie-talkie and then turned it off. 'He just…stood there. God, poor Sakura, he more of an ice cube than mine…' Tenten thought with a smirk, wiping her mouth off at the same time.
Hinata took a deep breath and came out of the bushes. He looked up at her, partly surprised and partly…happy? Hinata didn't know him very well, but he actually looked pleased to see her.
"How much of that did you see?" Sasuke wanted to know. Hinata blushed.
"I-I s-saw y-you and T-Tenten k-kiss," Hinata stuttered badly.
"Don't tell Neji," Sasuke said. "I think he'd kill me." Hinata laughed at this and Sasuke smiled back at her. 'Wow, she's cute when she laughs…Wait a minute…' He thought. 'The dare…'
"Say, Hinata, have you had lunch yet?" He asked.
"L-lunch? N-no," Hinata answered.
"I'll take you, it'll be my treat," He held out his arm and she nervously took it. They walked together in silence towards the restaurant they would be eating at.

After lunch, Sasuke walked Hinata home in complete silence. 'That was painless, it's nice being around someone who isn't loud for once,' He thought and smiled at her. 'Wait…Did I just smile at her? And I liked the date?…Why am I thinking that, do I like her or something?…' He shook the thoughts from his mind as they reached the Hyuuga compound. They stopped at the gate, and Hinata seemed to get more oink with every passing second.
"Well it was nice…talking…with you," Sasuke slowly backed away to leave. "I'll see you around sometime." He turned away and started to leave.
"Wait, Sasuke-kun?" Hinata said and he turned back around slowly.
"Yeah, wh-" He was cut off for the second time that day by a girl's lips. But this time, he liked it. As Hinata was holding him to her so that she could kiss him, Sasuke slowly wrapped his own arms around her.
'Wait a minute, what is he doing? Is Sasuke actually kissing me back?' Hinata thought as she felt his arms around her and the kiss deepened. Slowly, the two broke the embrace and Sasuke looked deeply into her eyes.
"Wanna go out again tomorrow?" He asked.
