Chapter 15
After the pizza and soda were passed around and everyone was satisfied, they turned to the ever popular game at parties: Spin the Bottle.
"So what are the rules?" Ino asked excitedly. This is what she lived for! So many things happened at these games!
"Any suggestions on the rules?" Neji asked, looking around at the group. They were all in a giant circle in the middle of the basement, an empty bottle lying in the center. Starting at his left was Kiba, then Naruto, Sai, Chouji, Shikamaru, Ino, Lee, Hinata, Tenten, and then Gaara who was to his right.
Naruto raised his hand cheerfully, a big grin on his face. Neji laughed and pointed to him.
"Let's do truth or dare along with spin the bottle!" The group nodded to this suggestion, Lee actually yelling with glee. ("GOOD THINKING, NARUTO-KUN!")
"But apart from the truth or daring, the spinner has to kiss the spinnee on the lips." Sai suggested, smirking. Kiba shuddered as he noticed a few eyes travel to the oblivious blond next to him.
"And just for safety purposes, everyone gets one dare that they can refuse. After one, they have to do whatever is dared. As long as it's not suicidal," Neji added. He didn't want anything too bad happening in his house.
Everyone voiced their agreement to these rules and the game started. Neji offered to spin first since he was the host, after all.
He gave the bottle a strong flick and watched it spin crazily. After a while, it slowed down and landed on...
Hinata.
NO WAIT! It was Tenten. Neji actually wiped off a drop of sweat that had settle on his brow. If it had been Hinata...he didn't know what he would do. Incest was strictly forbidden in his strict household. But then again so was homosexuality, but he didn't care about that.
"Pucker up, Tenten," Neji teased and Tenten giggled. They had long established a very strong connection and such a trivial thing like a kiss was nothing between them. Besides, Tenten knew very well that Neji was gay. In fact, the only people that didn't know this was Naruto and Sai, though Sai was already catching on to it.
Neji pecked Tenten on the lips and returned to his seat. "Now, truth or dare?"
Tenten thought about this. "Truth."
"Chicken!" Ino laughed, but quieted down when Neji asked his truth with a smirk.
"Well, Tenten, who in this room have you had a naughty fantasy about before?"
"HEY! Not fair!" Tenten pouted, heating up.
"Come on, you can say it. No backing down," Ino chirped, smirking too.
Tenten growled, "Well, if you must know, you, you, you, and you." To each of these 'you's, Tenten pointed to first Neji, then Hinata, then Gaara, then Shikamaru.
Hinata sputtered at this, flushing a bright crimson. Tenten laughed.
"Relax hun. You weren't with me or anything. Neji was doing you in."
Hinata sputtered even more, causing everyone to laugh. Getting into the game, Tenten added, "Oh, and if I had known Naruto beforehand, I'm pretty sure I'd have dreamed about him too." She winked at Naruto who blushed prettily.
Tenten took the bottle now and spun, landing on none other than Naruto.
"Well well, speak of the devil." Tenten smirked and walked over to Naruto, giving him a thorough kiss on the mouth. Yes, she knew that half the guys in the room wanted him, but she liked fuelling their competitive energy.
Naruto blushed so badly that his neck even turned red. His eyes were wide and dilated, giving him such an adorable look that Tenten pecked him on the cheek before sitting down.
"Hey hey! That extra kiss wasn't in the rules!" Kiba exclaimed, burying Naruto in his chest protectively. Damn all these people, why did he just have to befriend this stupid blond?
"Kiba, thanks, but I can't breathe," Naruto gasped out and pushed himself away, shaking his head to clear it of the redness.
Oh yeah, 'cause he was one hell of a captivating person. Kiba sighed. Oh well, he'll have to deal with his fate of always having to protect Naruto then.
"Truth or dare, Naruto?" Tenten grinned.
"Aw man, I forgot about that part," Naruto pouted. "Dare." He couldn't risk any sort of truth...
At this, Neji locked eyes with Tenten, silently pleading her. But she had other devious plans. Sucks for him, but serves him right for making her admit her fantasies.
"Naruto, I dare you to slowly and seductively take off Shikamaru's shirt."
Naruto's eyes widened and he stuttered, "S-Shikamaru's? But I barely know him!"
"Well, isn't this just the perfect opportunity then?"
Shikamaru sighed and rubbed his temples, muttering a low "troublesome".
"Oh fine!" Naruto huffed and stalked over to Shikamaru. Everyone's eyes trailed after the blond, waiting anxiously for the show.
Naruto blushed as he reached Shikamaru, who had the decency to blush a bit too.
"Um...okay...here goes..." And Naruto's fingers latched onto the teen's shirt hem and started pulling it up.
"SEDUCTIVELY, Naruto!" Tenten reminded with a smirk, much to Naruto and Kiba's annoyance.
"FINE!" Naruto could feel his face heating up to a degree that's never happened before. In fact, he was pretty sure his whole body was on fire right now.
Slowly but grumpily, he leaned into Shikamaru, his lips right next to the guy's ear. Seductively, or so he hoped, he ran his hands up Shikamaru's torso underneath his shirt, eliciting a startled gasp from the lazy teen. The shirt was coming up with Naruto's hands as his fingers drifted to Shikamaru's nipples. It was Naruto's turn to be startled now. Shikamaru sure didn't seem like the type for a nipple ring!
This just made Naruto even more embarrassed, so he quickly pulled the shirt over Shikamaru's head and dropped it to the side, finally stepping back to regain his personal bubble.
"That was hot, Naruto!" Ino yelled, snickering. The blond faintly resembled a tomato with the way his whole face was impossibly red.
Naruto ran back to Kiba's side and sat down, burying his head in his hands. That had GOT to be the most awkward thing to ever happen to him!
"It's your turn, Naruto," said Sai, handing the blond the bottle with a smirk. Naruto grimaced. He just realized that he had to kiss whoever he landed on, and he didn't really want to kiss anyone here...except maybe Hinata, she was cute...or Neji...Naruto blushed at that thought.
Hopefully, it lands on one of them, Naruto sighed as he finally spun the bottle. Five pairs of eyes watched the bottle apprehensively, the rest with mild amusement.
Slowly but surely, the bottle slowed down till it was traveling at a miniscule speed.
Lee...Hinata...Tenten...Gaara (oh please no please no! Naruto thought with a panic)...
The bottle was super slow now...
...Neji...
It stopped at Naruto himself. Everyone let out a breath. What an ironic way to end the suspenseful spin.
"Uh...do I spin again?"
"Yeah, I suppose so..." Neji said, quite disappointed it didn't land on him.
Naruto sighed and spun the empty bottle again, this time he closed his eyes so that the whole process wouldn't be so...nerve-wracking.
Soon, Naruto heard giggling coming from the girls. Oh no, the bottle had stopped. He felt a nudge to his side and he glanced up at Kiba. His face was grim.
Oh please don't let it be Gaara, not Gaara, not Gaara...Naruto prayed. He dared a peek at the bottle.
Phew! But then...who was it pointed at? He followed the bottle's mouth to the black haired teen it was pointed at.
The bottle had landed on none other than Sai, his oh-so-charming co-worker.
That was sarcasm, by the way.
Naruto flinched as Sai's eyes bored into his own. He didn't even know if Sai was gay or bi! He didn't want to ruin the unstable connection between him and Sai just because of this...
"D-do I have to kiss him?" Naruto asked, looking around at everyone else (but purposefully skipping over Gaara).
"Yes, honey, you do," Ino decreed with what one would call an evil grin on her face.
"YOUTH can overcome any obstacle! Go forward with courage, my young friend!" Lee offered, giving Naruto a thumbs-up.
The blond sighed and glanced up to the left at Sai, who was still staring at him.
"Um...sorry Sai..." and he reached up and kissed Sai on the mouth. Naruto cringed as their lips touched. Damn it, if Sai stops talking to him because of this, he was going to bash everyone's head in!
But when he tried pulling away, Sai suddenly cupped Naruto's face and deepened the kiss, sticking his tongue into the blonde's surprised mouth. Naruto's eyes flew open wide.
The fuck?
He struggled against Sai's grip, his own hands pushing at Sai shoulders, trying to pry him off. He could feel Sai's tongue swirling around his own, and he was quite frightened to say the least.
"ARGH! Get off him you creepy bastard!" Kiba yelled, pulling on Naruto who finally could breathe again.
Sai just smirked and sat back like nothing had happened. Naruto stared at him wildly. So then...Sai was gay? Wow, you learn something new every day.
"U-um, a-anyways...truth o-or dare, Sai?" He cursed his wretched voice for shaking so noticeably.
"Truth."
Naruto thought about it, and decided to ask the question that's arisen. "Are you gay?"
Sai smirked and leaned down to rest his forehead on Naruto's. "Yes, yes I am."
Naruto blushed but nodded. This party just got a hell of a lot more awkward.
"Y-your turn, Sai," Tenten squeaked, still dazed from that kiss.
With a grunt, Sai spun the bottle to have it land on Hinata. He lazily pecked her on the lips and asked truth or dare.
"T-truth..."
"Are you still a virgin?"
Neji glared at the black-haired teen. He didn't like this guy even more now! First of all, that kiss with Naruto...made his blood boil! And second, he now felt kind of protective over Hinata.
Hinata blushed and nodded quickly, her nervous habit of twiddling her fingers starting up again.
Then Hinata spun and it landed on Lee. She hesitantly kissed him and asked the question.
"DARE!" Lee exclaimed with a flourish.
"Uh...um..." Hinata seriously had nothing come to mind. She wasn't vicious like the other girls, there's no way she'd come up with anything 'entertaining'.
Tenten got Hinata's stress call and piped up, "Here, let me help you with the dare. Lee, I dare you to act like a girly girl for the next five turns!"
"OF COURSE! That's nothing to a YOUTHFUL young lad like myself!"
Who the heck used the word 'lad' now-a-days? Everyone thought.
And so, with a girly flick of his girly hands, Lee spun the bottle. It landed on Gaara, of all people.
"Oh barnacles!" Lee exclaimed girlishly. Then he pranced with a spring in his step to Gaara and batted his eyelashes at him. Girlishly. And everyone practically split a spleen laughing at the image. Gaara himself couldn't stop his eyebrow from twitching in amusement.
Lee leaned down and kissed Gaara on the lips and winked flirtatiously, then hurried back to his seat.
"Truth or dare, Gaara-san?"
"Dare," Gaara said emotionlessly.
"I dare you, my youthful friend, to lick Chouji on the face."
At the mention of his name, Chouji looked up from his bag of chips with a confused expression. Apparently he hadn't really been paying attention to anything but the food in his lap.
Gaara shrugged and went over and licked Chouji on his chubby cheeks. Chouji blushed madly and stuffed a handful of chips into his mouth. Naruto laughed at that, but quieted down when Gaara glanced over at him.
Awwwwkkwwarrrdddd...
Gaara returned to his seat and spun the bottle. Slowly, it stopped and everyone stared at victim.
It landed on...
Naruto's eyes widened. No fucking way, this couldn't be happening!
It was him.

Still the original workings of xXCabbageXx.
