A/N: I wanted to explain how the dare works. What will happen depending on whether or not Sasuke can complete the dare is still a surprise. However, Sasuke will take Sakura on dates for the next month, until the Naruto's next boys' night. Then, Sasuke will be asked the question "On the scale of 1 to 10." If Sasuke truly doesn't see Sakura as a 10, he successfully completed the dare, but don't worry the Konoha boys are going to be sure that Sasuke is honest.

A/N: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters associated with it.

It All Started on a Dare

Chapter Three: Cuddles in his Robe

Shocked by the scene which they all had just witnessed, Tenten interrupted the stares and gaping mouths, "Naruto you're turn!" She also nudged Hinata who turned 4 shades darker just thinking of the idea Naruto might kiss her. Naruto reached over and gave the bottle a gentle spin. The whole room held their breath waiting for it to stop.

"No! NO WAY! NU-HUH! There's NO way that's going to happen!" exclaimed the figure who the bottle landed on. "You come anywhere near me, and I'll kick your ass." Well, the bottle did land on a Hyuga… just not the one Naruto had been hoping for. Every gasped; they certainly weren't expecting that.

Naruto scratched the back of his head while nervously laughing, "Hehehe, umm… Guys? You really aren't going to make me do this are you?" Each word was gaining a tone of both nervousness and awkwardness.

"Yes, I had to go in the closet with the person the bottle landed on," Sakura said having overheard the conversation upon entering. Sasuke let out a small laughing having been amused by what the pink-headed girl had just said but also somewhat hurt by the thought of what had went on in the closet. Naruto nervously glanced around the room not knowing what to do, but started to lean closer to Neji who was already cracking his knuckles.

"You dobe." Sasuke said, punching Naruto on the top of his head. He leaned down and pointed the bottle at Hinata who instantly turned red again.

"Thanks, you're a life saver." Naruto laughed nervously.

Tenten, wanting to change the idea started, "Oohhh that means you have to take Hina…" Too late, Naruto had already lunged towards Hinata and planted a big one on her. Naruto drew back with a dopey smile on his face scratching the back of his head.

"Naruto ga baka! You're supposed to take her in the clos-" Sakura started to yell, but was interrupted by the fainting of her extremely red-faced friend. "Hinata!" she exclaimed rushing to pick her back up. "Sasuke, go get some cold water and a wet rag."

Sasuke just stood there startled by the absence of 'kun' on his name.

"What are you waiting for?!" She snapped at Sasuke noticing that he hadn't taken a step. He hurriedly moved to the kitchen shocked that the sweet pink-headed girl had just snapped at him of all people. 'She would have never done that before' He thought to himself realizing that Sakura had indeed changed. He quickly returned with cold water and a wet rag somewhat fearing what would happen to him if he took to much time.

"Thanks Sasuke-kun" Sakura smiled at him while taking the rag from Sasuke's hand. Their hands overlapped in doing so and Sakura blushed, but immediately turning her attention back to her friend. Sasuke turned trying to hide the slight pinkish hew that had crept upon his face by Sakura's gentle touch.

"You sure know how to ruin a good game, Naruto," Tenten sighed.

"Yeah, and I was hoping to get a kiss from Shikamaru too!" Ino pouted towards Shikamaru.

"You're so bothersome." Shikamaru sighed as he leaned over and gave Ino a peck on the cheek which made her squeal in excitement.

Everyone else wasn't that upset about this game being over. Neji never particularly wanted to give anyone the idea he had any soft spot towards Tenten despite that everyone else already knew. Choji, Shino, and Kiba had been slowly withdrawing themselves from the game as they knew they would thoroughly piss their friends off if they even thought about kissing any of the girls in the room. None of them may have been dating, but they knew they would feel their wrath if anyone else tried anything with 'their' girls.

Hinata slowly came to only to open her eyes to see Naruto right in her face once again. Overcome with embarrassment, she shoved him out of the way, but quickly apologized. He smiled and placed his arm around her so she could snuggle up to him. Sakura smiled "Aren't they so cute?" She asked turning to Sasuke.

"…Uh… Sure…" Sasuke said not knowing how to answer. He could hardly picture the blonde-headed dobe doing anything 'cute,' stupid maybe, but not 'cute.'

"Oh, I'm sorry…" Sakura said quickly turning away from Sasuke. 'That certainly had to make him uncomfortable, especially coming from me as if he and I could ever be like that.' The truth was the question did make Sasuke uncomfortable, but not for the same reason. It was just that as Naruto had been placing his arm around Hinata, he had been picturing himself slipping his arm around Sakura's small waist. So, the question had kind have startled him.

"I, ano, I am going to go for a walk," Sakura said somewhat embarrassed. She had suddenly gotten really uncomfortable and hoped that a brief walk would settle her uneasy feeling. She got up hurriedly hoping for a quick exit to avoid all or any of the questions that she may be asked, but she felt a tug at her wrist.

"I'll go with you." Sasuke said getting up to escort her out. Sakura was, to say the least, shocked that Sasuke offered to go with her. She was about to refuse, but she realized they were already outside. She sighed. His company wouldn't be such a bad thing, but she wanted to make sure she didn't bother him.

Sasuke and Sakura began to walk slowly down the road, but both were making sure that they were keeping their distance from one another. Sasuke just looked straight down at the road where he was walking. He didn't want to get caught staring at Sakura so rather he just refused to look at her. Sakura, on the other hand, kept glancing over at the raven-haired boy wondering why he insisted on going with her.

The stars were out bright so it wasn't really too dark outside. It was a really nice night, but there was a steady breeze causing Sakura to struggle to keep her nightgown from coming up. 'Oh great' She thought, 'at least the breeze could have been warm, but no it has to be a cold breeze. Just my luck.' Sasuke happened to glance at the shivering Sakura. He took off his robe and tossed it towards Sakura.

"Thank you," Sakura smiled towards him, but quickly blushed realizing that Sasuke wasn't wearing a shirt. He looked at her confused at why she was blushing before realizing that he hadn't been wearing a shirt under his robe. He immediately looked down to hide the pinkish hew that had once again crept upon his face. That was starting to happen a lot tonight.

Sakura promptly put on his robe. It was big on her, but it was soo comfortable. She absorbed the warmth it gave only to realize that it was the heat from Sasuke's body. 'Haha, well I might as well enjoy this as I can.' She thought realizing that she may never get a chance like this again. "Ano, Sasuke-kun?" She said lightly.

"Hn?"

"Why did you come on a walk with me?"

"It's not safe for you to go by yourself." He replied coldly not taking his eyes off of the ground in front of him.

"Oh, well that was sweet of you." Sakura said not knowing how to reply to his cold answer. Sasuke was startled by being called "sweet," but he liked the sound of it. He looked up and gave her a smile. This was the first time he had ever truly smiled at her, and Sakura couldn't help but grin even bigger.

The smile soon was wiped from Sasuke's face as he realized exactly how cold he was. Sakura noticed that Sasuke was trying to refrain from shivering so she started to slide his robe off to give it back to him.

"No, you keep it," Sasuke said sliding his robe back onto Sakura's shoulders.

"But you're cold"

"I don't need it. Besides, you'll catch a cold if you give it back"

"Won't you?"

"No, I'm fine." This annoyed Sakura. She knew that Sasuke was no where near fine as she could already see that he was turning the very slightest shade of blue.

"Will you stop being so stubborn?!" She said angrily.

"No." Sasuke said coolly again although he was shocked she had snapped once again at him. She sure had become a lot more confident and a lot less bashful. For some reason though, he didn't mind this. He actually kind of liked it.

Sasuke was so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't realized that he already had one arm of his robe back on. "Sakura, I thought I told you-" he interrupted himself when he realized that her warm body was beside them. Sakura was in the robe with him. Her body slid right beside his. He was shocked, yet peculiarly happy.

"Well," she said, "at least we can share."

Sakura started to laugh upon seeing Sasuke's facial expression. It was priceless. Sasuke, flustered, started laughing as well. He knew he had to have had the strangest look on his face. They continued on their walk back to the apartment, smiling, giggling, and cuddling in his robe.
