Shikamaru pressed a few buttons changing the metal-like room into a forest-like illusion. Everyone was dumbfounded except for Sakura and Sasuke who already knew.

"Ready…GO!" Chouji yelled starting the match. Tenten decided to attack first by throwing a shower of kunai knives at Sakura. Sakura simply smiled and threw a smoke bomb. The gas shrouded her appearance while the kanai knives fell from the sky. Sakura did a numerous amount of hand seals causing her to dissolve with the fading gas. The weapons hit the ground without a trace of Sakura wounded; only smiling. Sasuke smirked with approval to her recently made jutsu. Tenten gasped at her opponent's expression.

"What kind of jutsu was that?" Tenten asked while blocking the sudden hits coming from Sakura.

"My recently made jutsu, self dissolve illusion technique. Sasuke helped me create it." Sakura said winking at Sasuke. Tenten kept throwing shrikens and knives at Sakura trying to distract her. Sakura simply dodged with ease as if she were dancing. Sakura formed another few had seals and cloned herself. Tenten aimed at all of them with kunai knives looking for the real one. Yet as the weapons hit the clones all of them disappeared.

"What the-?" Tenten said looking around.

"Fooled you!" Sakura said behind her with the blue bell in her hand.

"Winner…Sakura." Chouji said while the red team cheered.

"Hey! No fair…" Tenten said pouting. Sakura ran toward Sasuke and hugged him.

"Thanks and good luck!" Sakura said kissing him chastely on the cheek. Tenten walked

Toward her husband and cheered him on. The men walked forward until they were in front of each other.

"Ready to lose Uchiha?" Neji said preparing himself I fighting stance. Sasuke did the same smirking.

"Bring it." He said while the two glared intensely at each other.

"Ready? Gooo!" Chouji said starting the match. Neji immediately turned on his bloodline limit, Byakugan and started to fight his opponent with his famous and hand to hand combat. Sasuke smirked and flared his Sharingan and started to perform a complicated combination of hand seals.

"Grand fireball!" Sasuke said blowing a great amount of fire from is mouth. Neji nearly missed it while he used bone-crushing attacks toward his opponent. The two fought for more than an hour as everyone grew bored. Suddenly they both caught each other's bell at the same time.

"I got it first Hyuuga!"

"In your dreams Uchiha!"

They both glared while everyone sweatdropped. Sakura and Tenten had to practically drag the two somewhere else before they slaughtered each other.

"Tie." Chouji said as the score board showed their current scores.

RED TEAM: 2/BLUE TEAM: 1>

"Kuso..." Sasuke cursed while Sakura tried to comfort him.

"Don't worry. I mean this game doesn't prove anything on how weak or strong we are, it's about having fun! Not killing each other…So stop putting and get over it already! If you do, I promise that I'll make your favorite, tomato stew?" Sakura said while Sasuke simply shrugged and gave up. She grinned evilly while he groaned. In these particular arguments, Sakura usually had logic and more sense on her side.

Shikamaru changed the background to a desert like setting. Lee and Ino got into positions with their bells.

"THIRD ROUND: Lee V.S Ino! Begin!" Chouji said jogging out of the way. Ino directly aimed at Lee with a group of shrikens. Lee simply blocked them with a single swipe. He ran towards her with a kunai in his hand. He started to aim for the bell while she dodged each hit. Suddenly he cut a few strands of her hair as she dodged. Suddenly Ino started to scream with fury and glared murderously at him. Lee suddenly felt as if he grew smaller and smaller the harder she glared..

"BAKA! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT TOOK ME TO GROW MY HAIR BACK! NOW I HAVE SPLIT ENDS! I AM GONNA KILL YOU!" Ino said beating up Lee after ripping the red bell from his hand. It took Neji, Shino, Sasuke, and Kiba altogether just to pull her up. In the meantime, Hinata, Naruto and Sakura helped Lee get up and out of the ring.

"Winner...Ino" Chouji said as Shkamaru changed the background to a grassy plain. After everyone had gotten settled Hinata and Naruto walked up to each other. Naruto smiled genuinely while Hinata kept on blushing and shaking with excitement.

"Don't worry Hinata! I promise I'll easy...for now! So just try your best!" Naruto chirped making her smile.

"Thank you Naruto..." Hinata said thankfully. He gave her a thumbs up and a fox-like smile in return.

RED TEAM: 2/BLUE TEAM: 2

"FOURTH ROUND: Hinata V.S Naruto...START!"

Hinata started to fight hand to hand combat with him. He just kept smiling and fought with her as gently as possible. They kept doing this, neither changing their moves. Suddenly an idea popped into Hinata's head and smiled brightly. She jumped toward him landing right next to him. He stood there confused. She grabbed his ear closer to her lips.

"Ramen..." she whispered letting him go. Naruto fell to the ground paralyzed with pain. Hinata leaned toward him saying sorry and taking the blue bell.

"Winner...Hinata." Chouji said ending the game. Kiba helped Naruto up on his feet with Hinata.

" Alright, Everyone one the blue team except Neji have to follow the rules and do one task for your opponent on the red team except Sasuke since Neji and Sasuke tied." Chouji and Shikamaru said as everyone walked out of the training room. The red team smirked as the blue team groaned.

"Tenten... I want you to..." Sakura whispered into her ear. Tenten grinned and nodded. She hugged Neji by the arm tightly.

"Hello Neji-poo!" She said over and over calling him pet names smiling while he groaned with torture. Ino unfortunately made Lee braid her long hair into perfect braids.

" These braids better be perfect!"

"YES SI--I MEAN MA'AM!"

Hinata instead of torturing she rewardedNaruto with some leftovers of the ramen pasta.

" THANK YOU HINATA! I WOULD'VE DIED WITHOUT YOU!"

" NO-O PROBL-EM..."

Sakura simply sat with Sasuke watching the groups torture themselves. Shino and Kiba fought over the T.V, and Chouji was eating some popcorn.

After all their fun, they were all escorted to their bedrooms one by one by Sasuke and Sakura until they got to their own... Sakura and Sasuke started to change. Sasuke wore a pair of long cream colored silk pants and Sakura threw on a long pink and cotton night gown. They curled up together under the covers as they clung to one another...enjoying each other's warmth and love.

"Are you still mad at me for nagging you?" Sakura said with shame written all over her face. Sasuke smiled at her and kissed her passionately.

"How could I ever stay mad at you?" he said making her laugh.

"Guess you're right..." Sakura said closing her eyes. He simply brought her closer into his arms letting her sleep.

They soon fell fast asleep...bound together...wondering what chaos would corrupt tomorrow.
