Disclaimer: As always, I don't own anything. Except that's mine. Which is this plot...yup.

K guys, chapter 2 is up! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAD REVIEWED! You guys had made me so happy. :) I'm smiling with joy.

Really.

This chapter is alright...I don't think I write Sasuke/Sakura stuff really well, but I've begun my other chapter (Neji/Tenten) and I must say, I like that one better. But still, I worked hard(-ish) on this one too, so please don't disappoint and review!

And again, this is me being "funnie". Any pointers or such things would be appreciated. :) Trust me.

I'm not really funnie. Heh. But your reviews had really helped!

Alrighty then! Enjoy!

Honey If You Love Me

-

Sasuke choked and Neji smirked.

"Well Sasuke," Neji said, evidently amused, "it looks like you'll be able to prove yourself."

Ino nodded in agreement. "Yup, that's right Sasuke. You against Sakura! Round two, begin!"

"Wait!" Sakura cried out, once again in confusion, "Who goes first?"

Pausing for a moment, Ino tilted her head. "How about we switch it now. Sakura, you have to get Sasuke to smile first, and after, Sasuke has to make Sakura smile."

"Okay!"

"Hn."

"Alright," Ino said, satisfied, "I'm glad everyone could agree on that. Okay, let's start round two! Sakura, make Sasuke smile!"

Staring intently at Sasuke's face, thinking over her strategy, Sakura blushed. How was she supposed to make the Uchiha prodigy smile? Sasuke was practically incapable of smiling! This was the frowning/smirking/unsmiling king for crying out loud!

'Well,' Sakura thought, slightly distracted, 'when he smirks, he's smiling an upside down smile. Does that count? She didn't exactly say what kind of smile…' Hearing a loud cough, she looked towards Ino.

"Two minutes," she mouthed, waving at Sakura to hurry.

'Come on, come on, come on,' Sakura thought determinedly, 'I got this!'

Watching Sasuke closely, she watched him as he continued to look bored. Feeling resolved, she clenched her fists tightly. She will get Sasuke to smile. No matter what.

Slowly breathing out, Sakura looked Sasuke straight in the eye as she began. "Honey, if you love me," at this part, Sakura blushed heavily, "please smile for me?" Her ending came out more like a squeak than a question.

'Get it together!' she screamed at herself. This was only Sasuke Uchiha…yeah…only Sasuke.

Sakura watched him as he gazed back, looking entirely amused.

"No."

Determined to not give up, she quickly fluttered her lashes. "Please, Sasuke?" She clasped her hands together, bringing them up beneath her chin, "I know you want to."

Still seeing his stoic, but somewhat amused face, she tried once again. He was already amused, so a smile couldn't be too hard to get, right? Right!

"Kakashi's a pervert!" Still seeing no smile, she quickly thought of more thoughts.

"Naruto's an idiot!" No Smile.

"You think I'm annoying!" Nothing.

"Itachi dead?" Now that would be borderline creepy if he had smile. But still, no smile.

"No more fan girls?" She weakly said.

A cough interrupted her thoughts. "One more minute."

"Hinata likes Naruto and he's totally oblivious!" No smile, but a slight gasp could be heard.

"Neji Hyuuga is a prick!" No smile, but felt the hairs on her arms rise.

"And someone actually likes him, too!" This time, the hair on her head seemed to rise. Could someone be glaring at her?

"Um, Shikamaru's boring!"

"And Ino-" A loud cough interrupted her next word. Sakura glanced discreetly at the group giving off dangerous auras. She smiled timidly, and meekly offered, "Um, heh, just kidding?"

Sakura caught Ino's gaze as she told her dryly, "Thirty seconds."

Quickly, she thought of something that would make him smile. Or something like it, anyway.

"Sasuke's so cool!" Still nothing.

"Sasuke's the best at everything!" My, how big his ego must be getting.

Sakura was beginning to get frustrated as she saw his mouth contract in a faint smirk. Catching Ino's eye, all seemingly forgiven for her earlier outbursts, Ino caught on immediently.

"Hah! He smiled!" she screamed, "girls win again!"

The guys all protested at once.

"Not! When?" Naruto yelled.

"There! Right there, his lips quirked up!" Tenten yelled in return.

"Hn, it was a smirk," Neji said distantly, yet defiantly. Seemed like the Hyuuga prodigy didn't like to lose either.

"Still," Ino said offhandedly, "his lips turned upwards. That's a smile."

Shikamaru rolled his eyes upwards, "Troublesome."

"In-indeed," Hinata said meekly.

"Ah, but wait!" Lee yelled, back from his ravings from earlier, "Sasuke still has a chance! He has yet to make the beautiful Sakura smile!"

"That's…true," Kiba muttered thoughtfully after all was silent. Perhaps the guys would still have a chance. If Sasuke managed to make Sakura smile, it would end in a tie and the girls would only be up by one.

Silence reigned for only but a moment before agreements ensued. Everyone nodded slowly as they thought it over. That's right…Sasuke still had a chance to tie up this round!

"Yosh! But I wish that I could have challenged the beautiful Sakura! Oh, how I would have loved to make her smile! Sakura…darling…if you love me…" and as Lee ramble on once again, everyone turned back to the match, quickly forgetting the daydreaming boy once again.

"Alright…" Ino said, glancing towards the green-clad-babbling-boy, "Lee is…correct. So, I guess, second part of round two, begin! Sasuke, make Sakura smile!"

Sakura's eyes held mirth as she looked to Sasuke. 'Come on girl, get it together. Don't let Sasuke make you smile!' A frown soon encompassed her face as she thought that last statement over, 'Oh…wait…he doesn't.'

A somewhat depressed sigh escaped from her lips as Sasuke prepared to give his…'speech'.

Ino frowned slightly, wondering whether it was a good idea or not. Glancing down at her watch, she inwardly smiled. Thirty seconds had passed, and Sasuke had yet to make Sakura smile.

A cough was emitted by Neji. "Sasuke, hurry up."

Sasuke looked up at Neji and glared. "Well, if you think it's so easy, just wait until you try."

Ino ducked her head slightly and smirked. "Good idea, Sasuke," she murmured under her breath. As the glaring contest ensued between the two 'teammates' she cleared her throat loudly, catching their attention.

"Sasuke, two minutes."

Hearing Tenten squeal slightly, Ino smiled. 'Come on Sakura,' she willed, 'don't smile.'

Sasuke cleared his thought and looked Sakura directly in the eyes. Onyx eyes clashed with sea green. "Sakura…honey…"

And with this, he paused, the barest tint of a blush staining his cheeks. All watched as after a moment, Sasuke straightened his shoulders in resolve, "If you love me, please smile for me?"

Sakura's eyes tinted with conflict. "No, Sasuke."

Stubbornly, Sasuke folded his arms. "Sakura, smile for me."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No!" Sakura said defiantly.

"Why not?" he asked, somewhat confused. Sasuke didn't think it would be too hard to make her smile. So why was she being so difficult?

"Sasuke," Sakura said, rolling her eyes, "you can't just tell me to smile, you have to make me smile."

"One minute left."

"Alright," Sasuke said, determination in his eyes, "so how do I do that?"

Sakura nearly fell over in disbelief. He wanted to know how to make her smile in less than a minute?

"Well," she started, somewhat uncomfortably, "do something sweet, I guess. Do something nice, something I would like."

"Hn," Sasuke said, thinking it over. "Like…buy you something? If you smile, I'll buy you something."

Sakura's eyebrow twitched ever-so-slightly. "No."

Confused, Sasuke tried once again. "Stuff then? I'll buy you stuff."

"No!"

"A stuffed animal?"

"No."

"Shoes?"

"No."

"A dress?"

"You just don't get it, do you." With a sigh, Sakura resumed saying the word, 'no' hoping that the time would run out…soon.

"A…store?"

"No!"

"A mall?"

"N- oh? Really? I mean, no!"

"A new set of weapons?" Sasuke asked coaxingly, trying once again.

"Stop flaunting your money around!" Sakura yelled, blushing.

"Thirty seconds!" came Ino's sharp, but amused voice.

Sasuke sighed. Heavily. "Um…when we eat."

Sakura stopped her 'no' streak to stare blankly at Sasuke, wondering if her brain had dysfunctioned. "Uh…What?"

"I'll pay…for our food."

Sakura gaped. Was he asking her out…to eat?

"So, I'll take that as a yes?"

"Who said anything about me agreeing?"

"So you then that's another 'no'?" Sasuke asked, frowning.

"Who said anything about me disagreeing!"

Naruto, trying once again to get Hinata to smile 'just because' perked up at the words of 'I'll', 'pay', and 'food.'

"I agree!" Came Naruto's excited voice, "You're going to pay for our food, Sasuke? Let's go eat ramen!"

Sasuke glared in disbelief. "No."

Naruto unabashedly protested, "But you just said--"

"I meant," Sasuke said, lowering his voice slightly, "just the two of us."

"Uh…Sasuke?" Naruto asked, uncertainly.

"What?"

A hesitant pause reigned for a but a moment. "What about Sakura?"

Silence reigned as Sasuke's and Sakura's eyebrows twitched, while Neji, Tenten and Ino looked amused, trying to stop their sniggers. Hinata blushed, Kiba laughed, and Shikamaru, after rolling his eyes in disbelief, muttered a stifled "troublesome". Shino had found yet another bug to look at, and Lee…well…was somewhere in his own world.

"Shut up, moron," Sasuke said after a moment, his eyebrows still slightly twitching.

"Err…so yeah," Sakura trailed off, hoping to get back on the subject before Sasuke tried to hurt Naruto. Well, before Sasuke tried to seriously maim him, that is.

"So you do?" Sasuke asked once again.

"Ten seconds!" Ino yelled, looking quite smug.

"I didn't say I did!" Sakura yelled, not yet able to tell her brain to function correctly.

"So…what are you going to say then?" A considerably disgruntled Sasuke asked. Sheesh, how hard is it usually to ask a girl out?

Sakura blushed. For goodness sake, she was getting asked out by Sasuke Uchiha! Sakura smiled slightly at the mere thought.

Oh no.

Sasuke, being the prodigy he is, immediately noticed her change of countenance. "Hn, she smiled."

The guys, who all watched with keen interest throughout their whole 'conversation' on whether the o-so-great Sasuke Uchiha would be turned down by a girl, all nodded in agreement. Even Shino who glanced up from his bug to be a spectator in this astonishing event.

The girls just gave a look of disappointment. But only for a moment.

Tenten squealed, giving Sakura a hug. "Ooo, you got a date with Sasuke!"

Sakura blushed, "Oh come on, he only did that to win the 'challenge'."

"No way, girl," Ino said in her matter-of-fact voice, "he offered, so you better take him up on it!"

"Ye-yeah, Sakura," Hinata offered, "that sou-sounded sincere, to m-me."

The guys, listening attentively to the girls' musings, grinned. Oh how the great have fallen.

Sasuke glared as Neji looked at him and smirked. "You were waiting for that all day, weren't you."

The question came out more like a statement. A very true statement concerning Sasuke. But no, he would never admit it.

"What do you mean," Sasuke said, trying to be nonchalant. And failing.

"You were just waiting to ask her on a date," Neji answered, amusement written on his face, "at least you finally got the chance."

"Hn," Sasuke said, somewhat defiantly, "just wait until you go, Neji. I wonder if you can make a certain 'mistress' smile."

"Are you implying something?" Neji asked calmly, choosing his battle stance.

Luckily, the girls were still oblivious to the guys' 'discussion' they were having as they were too busy cooing over the 'new recent couple'. The rest of the guys 'team' watched the two prodigies go at it, giving them a cautious glance and space. A lot of space.

Well, except Lee. "Exceptional!" Lee cried, once again bursting into one of his raves. "This game is truly wonderful! It has brought out such youthful feelings within you that you have never felt before! Isn't it amazing? We should have played it before! Yosh! I--"

"Lee," both prodigies said, sending him a glare. Not taking the hint, Lee beamed happily.

"Let me try? Please? I wish to make someone smile and fan the flames of youth!" He yelled, his usual grin on his face.

The girls, with looks of compassion, just 'awed'. The guys just stared in disbelief.

"Well," Sasuke said, completely amused, "who will you challenge?"

Naruto, Ino, Tenten, Naruto, and Neji all coughed simultaneously. Hinata blushed and Kiba smirked. Shikamaru was oblivious, looking once again towards the sky, and Shino found another 'interesting' bug, the rolie polie. Sakura just sighed.

Lee looked towards his 'beloved cherry blossom', Sakura, innocently. Sasuke caught his glance and glared.

Luckily, Ino intervened. "Well, er, Lee, she just went. So maybe you should make someone else smile…for now."

He beamed in acknowledgement and the other girls cringed. Or maybe not so luckily.

"But who?" Naruto said, confused. "There's only two more girls left," and with this he pointed towards her and Tenten, "so who will it be? Besides," he said, still rambling, "we all know Tenten is Ne--"

"Next, yes, we know," Ino said quickly.

Unmindful, as always, Naruto scrunched his nose, "No, I meant she's Ne--"

"Next!" Ino said, once again, this time maiming his foot as she stepped rather forcefully on it.

Lee looked dejected. But only for a moment. "Yes, yes," he said rather excitedly, "I shall just go later. Perhaps I should practice my lines!"

Everyone turned towards the babbling, cheerful boy. O how it must be wonderful to have such an outlook on life.

"Oh," Ino said excitedly after a moment, "I have an idea!"

Each head turned as she started laughing quite evilly. How…scary. All gave her a wary look, preparing to run if necessary.

"Let's have Tenten and," Ino paused, inwardly wanting a dramatic affect, "Tenten and Lee go next!"

Some looked stunned, and many looked surprised. Tenten and…Lee? Whatever had made Ino suggest this… 'couple'? Everyone unconsciously glanced towards Neji.

Neji only gave a slight glare in return, then turned away, seemingly indifferent.

"Well," Sakura said still stunned, "that's…interesting."

"I…agree," Sasuke said, somewhat wondering what Neji was thinking. Wasn't Tenten his sparring partner, almost akin to his best friend? And if not friend, then definitely of some sort of romantic interest?

Oh well. It was just a game.

Right?

VxS

Alright! Chapter two finished! Actually...it was done...like a day or two ago, but I was somewhat unsure of how it was written. Good? Bad? Funny? Awful? Do tell, I would love to hear your comments and opinions.

Flames are welcomed (seeing as that many may not think this very funnie and think I should quit) but I'd like constructive criticism. Hehe, wouldn't everyone?

By the way, I think I might have the flu. So please send your love, and I'll most likely have the next chapter (Neji/Tenten!) up soon! Not threatening, of course, it's just that inspiration to write would be nice!
