Chapter 13

"Eeeekkkk! Build-a-Bear!" Deidara squealed as they walked into the store. He then proceeded to run to the animals and look through them.

Itachi turned to Mizani with a glare, but the glare was toned down because of the gratefulness before following his boyfriend over to the toys. The raven girl grinned proudly as she watched the two playfully bicker back and forth. She jumped slightly when she felt arms drape themselves over her shoulder, but she leaned back once she found it was Gaara behind her.

"You know you're really sweet." her boyfriend stated.

"Yeah.. I know. Just don't let it get around, I've got a reputation to keep up." she said with a grin to which Gaara shook his head and kissed her cheek, "Come on! Let's go back an animal!" She grabbed the redhead's arm and dragged him over to where Itachi and Deidara still were. "Have you two still not decided what you want?"

"I want to get a little weasel, but 'Tachi won't let me." the blonde pouted holding up a small weasel.

"But the little birds are much cuter." Itachi argued holding up the bird animal.

"Then how about you get them both and then dress them and everything together?" Mizani suggested.

"Oh.. that works." Itachi said blinking.

"Come one let's go!" Deidara said grabbing Itachi and dragging him across the store.

Mizani shook her head, 'I swear those two..' she thought. "So what one do you want to get?" she asked turning to face Gaara, only to not see him. Looking around a bit, she found him over by the animals.

"How about this one?" he asked holding up a panda.

"Why a panda?" she wondered out loud walking over to him.

"Because they look very cute, cuddly and innocent, but when you get them angry, all hell brakes loose." he looked at Mizani, "Doesn't sound familiar at all does it?" he asked with a smirk.

"Hahaha." the raven girl said, sticking her tongue out at her boyfriend and taking the animal, "Let's go pick him out some clothes!" She dragged the redhead over to the clothes and begun to pick different outfits out.

After almost two hours in the store, the two couples came out, both very happy. Deidara wrapped Mizani in a bear hug. "'Zani! You are so sweet! Can I please, please, please adopt you?" he asked still not removing his hold on the raven girl.

"As much as I would love for you too, I think that would make Kakashi, Iruka and my dad very sad." she said patting the blondes arms, "Oh! Speaking of my dad!" she turned to Gaara, "He said he wanted to meet you, also my friend Fayree want to meet you too."

Gaara blinked at her, "Really." he stated.

"Yeah, but don't worry. If you passed Naruto, Kakashi and Iruka, then you'll pass my dad." she said waving off his worry.

"And Fayree?" he questioned, eyebrow raised.

"Weelll... I make no promises...?" she said to which Gaara let out a sigh, "Oh don't worry! I'm sure she'll love you!" the raven girl said pulling him into a hug.

"If you say so." he said.

"So where do we wanna go now?" Itachi asked.

"The arcade!" Mizani and Deidara shouted grabbing their boyfriends and running in that direction.

Once there, they were confused at the crowd that had been drawn. 'I know everybody loves video games, but this is insane...' Mizani thought.

Itachi tapped a guy with light brown hair on the shoulder, when he turned around, the raven asked, "What's going on?"

"Two dudes are having a DDR war. It's been going on for the past half hour." the guy said.

The group looked at each other, the same two people coming to their minds, "Naruto and Sasuke." they said at the same time. They then made their way through the crowd and to the DDR machine where the raven and blonde were. The crowd around the two were cheering them on, barely heard over the loudness of the music.

"Your pirateness can't help you here!" Naruto shouted.

"Oh and you think your ninja skills can?" Sasuke questioned.

"Oh yeah!"

"So they're at that again are they?" Itachi questioned to himself, shaking his head with a smirk. Mizani and Deidara gave him confused looks at which he shook his head.

'I swear if those two don't just ask each other out already.' Mizani thought. "Naruto! Sasuke! Stop fight-flirting and come on!" she shouted.

The shout caused both of the teens to stumble, ensuing the end of the DDR war. The crowd let out "aws" of disappointment, but they all waited in waited breath for the final outcome. It seemed like forever, but finally the machine said: "It's a tie! Dance Dance Revolution champions are Naruto and Sasuke!"

"What! I beat him!" Naruto shouted getting up from where he had tripped over his feet at Mizani's shout.

"You wish you did! I won and you know it!" Sasuke said, picking himself up also.

"Oh come on you two." Deidara said shaking his head, linking arms with Itachi and walking away, Mizani doing the same. "One of them just needs to have the guts to ask the other out already." the blonde stated.

"I bet it's Sasuke who asks Naruto out." Itachi said a hint of smugness in his voice.

Mizani raised an eyebrow, "Oh really?" she asked, "You want to make that an actual bet?"

Itachi stared down at the raven girl, "Let's."

"Okey. I bet Naruto asks Sasuke out first." she said with a smug grin, arms crossed over her chest.

"What are we betting?"

"One week of whatever the other says."

"You my dear little lady have yourself a bet." Itachi said holding his hand out, Mizani taking it.

"You see this ending badly too, don't you?" Deidara asked Gaara in a hushed whisper. The redhead nodded his head sadly as he watched his girlfriend and best friends bother.

"An arcade?" Naruto asked as he stared at the entrance. He looked to Sasuke, "Really?"

Sasuke shrugged, "There's nothing else to do at the mall." He looked at the blonde who was still looking at him, "What?" he questioned.

Naruto laughed, "I just never pegged you as the arcade type."

"There's games to kick people's ass in, of course an arcade is my place."

'Kick people's ass huh?' the blonde wondered. Raising an eyebrow he turned to the raven, "Do we want to put that to a test."

"What do you have in mind?" Sasuke asked with a smirk.

"Follow me follow me fa lalala la." he said with a smirk before walking into the arcade. The blonde looked around the rather large arcade. 'I know they have one around here...' his eyes fell on the machine he was looking for. 'There you are.' "How about Dance Dance Revolution?"

"Really? DDR? You want to try and beat me at DDR?" Sasuke asked with a look of disbelieve on his face.

"Yeah! I got some moves. Or you know, you seemed to think I did at The Akatsuki." Naruto said with a smirk, thinking back to when they were dancing at the club. His smirk grew into a grin when he saw the hint of a blush on the pale man's cheeks.

"You're on then blondie." the raven said taking his jacket off and sitting it on the railing behind the game.

"Ohhh.." the blonde said dragging the word out. "So you're gonna pick on my hair color huh?" he nodded, "Well come on pretty boy." He in turn took off his own jacket and sat it on the other railing. "Why don't we do a individual game then if that doesn't settle it will do a battle."

Sasuke gave a smirk, "You're on." he said stepping onto the game with a hand on his hip.

'Can this guy get any sexier?' the blonde wondered, trying not to gawk at the raven. "Let's go then. Why don't I let the pirate go first. You know safe the best for last." he said leaning forward on the railing with a smirk.

"Fine. But you'll see that pirates are far superior to ninjas." the raven said before he started the game up. He rang through the song too quick before the blonde could see the song he selected. Sasuke glanced back at the blonde, "Get ready to dance." he said smirking one again before he turned back to the screen for the song to begin.

When the blonde heard the song, he shook his head. 'Of course he's doing this one.' he thought. As he waited for the steps to pop up, Sasuke was swaying his hips to either side of the music. Once the steps began to show up and he hit them, he not only heard Lady GaGa singing, but Sasuke, "I've had a little bit too much All of the people start to rush. Start to rush babe. A dizzy twister dance Can't find my drink or man Where are my keys," the raven shrugged, "I lost my phone." he held up a 'phone' with his fingers.

"What's going on on the floor?" he moved side to side with the music, " I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore." He moved around almost as if he were drunk, " Keep it cool what's the name of this club?" he tilted his head to the side, "I can't remember but it's alright, alright!" Jumping up, he landed down on the necessary arrows and not only dancing around to the song, but to hit every arrow on the screen.

Naruto could only watch as the raven move in time with the song. 'I think he's really going to give me a run for my money.' he thought. 'But not only that, he looks sexier then I do. And I look pretty damn sexy!' Sure there were times the blonde could be a bit conceded, but hey wasn't everybody allowed just a bit? Sasuke finished off the last arrow and jumped only a few steps in front of Naruto.

"So what'dyacha think?"he asked, a bit out of breath but a smirk still present on his pale lips. "Perfect Score!" the machine called out, only making the raven smirk more.

"Pretty good for a pirate." Naruto said with a shrug. He jumped over the railing, "But time to watch a ninja do better." the blonde looked back at the raven with a smirk.

Sasuke stared at the blonde as he turned back to the machine's screen. 'That smirk. I swear.' he thought. The raven moved a bit of his bangs that had fallen in his eyes annoyingly during his song. "Let's see what you got blondie." he said moving to sit on the railing of the machine he had just danced on.

"Oh you're gonna see what I got alright." Naruto said looking through the songs. "Let's go." He stopped on the arrow to select the song.

The raven stared at him as he heard the song begin to play. 'He can't be serious.' "You might been hurt babe That ain't no lie I've seen 'em all come and go oh-oh." the blonde began to sing. 'Oh my god.. he's serious.'

He watched as Naruto began to sing dance along with singing and hitting the arrows on beat, "I remember you told me That it made you believe in No man, no cry Maybe that's why Every little thing I do Never seems enough for you You don't wanna lose it again But I'm not like them Baby, when you finally, Get to love somebody Guess what, It's gonna be me.. "

As the blonde was dancing he recongized most, if not all the moves, from the music video. 'Who knew the dobe listened to N*Sync...' he though as the watched the blonde dance. He was much more graceful then he would appear, but the raven already knew that from being at The Akatsuki, dancing with the blonde. 'Damn his blonde self looks sexy.' he thought trying not to make it to obvious he was staring. 'He just might have me...'

As the song came to a close, Naruto did a black flip and landed in front of Sasuke, a huge grin on his face. "Now that's how it's done!" he said a bit out of breath. "Perfect Score!" the machine said and their was cheering. "Looks like the ninjas have won this one." the blonde had a triumphant smirk on his face.

'My god, that smirk!' "In case you've forgotten, dobe, I got a perfect score too." Sasuke said with a smirk of his own as he crossed his arms.

"Well then we know what that means!"

Sasuke rose and eyebrow.

"DDR DANCE OFF!" the blonde shouted. People from all around the arcade began to gather around the DDR machine, whispering about the battle. A few people who were watching the two of them before begun to make bets among each other. "Whatya say?" Naruto asked from his spot on the first DDR machine, his hand out.

"You are so on." Sasuke said smirking before taking the blonde's hand and taking his spot on the other machine. "What song should we do?"

"Carmelldansen!" someone from the crowd shouted.

The raven shrugged and look at the blonde, "Work for you?"

"Let's go!" Naruto shouted as he looked for the song.

About half an hour later...

'Holy crap I'm getting tired!' Sasuke thought as he continued to hit the arrows. He glanced at the blonde and saw that he too was getting tired, but the stubbornness in the Uchiha didn't allow him to stop. "I think my pirate skills are kicking your ass." he said with a smirk.

"Your pirateness can't help you here!" Naruto shouted.

"Oh and you think your ninja skills can?" he questioned raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah!" the blonde shouted.

They continued the battle, both slowly beginning to loose their energy until a shout was heard:

"Naruto! Sasuke! Stop fight-flirting and come on!"

The shout caused both of the teens to stumble, ensuing the end of the DDR war. The raven heard the crowds disappointed "Aws." It seemed like forever, but finally the machine said: "It's a tie! Dance Dance Revolution champions are Naruto and Sasuke!" Sasuke's jaw dropped. 'No fucking way!'

"What! I beat him!" Naruto shouted getting up from where he had tripped over his feet at the shout shout.

"You wish you did! I won and you know it!" Sasuke said, picking himself up also. He looked to where the shout came from and saw Mizani, Gaara, Deidara and his brother standing all but in the middle of the crowd. 'Of course it was Mizani.' he thought with a slight glare.

"Oh come on you two." Deidara said shaking his head, linking arms with Itachi and walking away, Mizani doing the same.

Sasuke picked up his jacket from the railing and took a deep breath. He looked to where Naruto was doing the same, their eyes meet and they both let out tired laughs. The blonde dragging his coat on and took the raven's wrist to drag him out of the arcade to follow the two couples. He felt the blonde slowly let go of his wrist, his fingers briefly brushing over his pale hand.

"I guess we'll have to find some other way to see if Ninjas tops Pirates." Naruto said with a Cheshire cat-like grin.

"I guess we will." the raven said matching his grin with a smirk. The two met up with the two other couples who were arguing over something. 'And just how do you plan to do that?' the raven wondered, his eyes not leaving the blonde as they continued walking.

And there is Chapter 13 for ya! Wow.. Chapter 13... O.O I can't believe it's gotten this far!
