Author note: Thank you all very much for the reviews, I will try my hardest to make this story satisfactory for you however, it was something that came to me through a dream so elaboration on it may become difficult. Cookies to all u readers and reviewers and people who put me on their favorites and alerts.

I would like to clear up something very important. Seeing, as for some reason the name of the person Naruto was talking to on msn didn't show up I'll have you know that it was actualy Hinata. Thank you for reading and I hope this chapter is to your liking.

Nana Akane: When it says sign off at the end...it is actually supposed to say Hinata has signed off but for some unexplained reason, the names didn't appear on FF. To be honest, I don't want to give away why the system only picks out students from the school at this point in time because then it would just be no fun, and no it is not magically unexplained. Sorry for any confusion!

I'm sorry if the length of the chapter is not to your liking and if you catch mistakes it's because I don't have spell check at the moment and I apologize for not catching my own mistakes.

The pressure is on! Will Naruto give in under pressure?

chapter 2: Pressure

The air in the room had become a hell of a lot stuffier since class ended. Everyone was gone except for one person, and that one person was the last person on earth, Naruto wanted to see right now. Msn was still sitting idle on his computer screen and it felt nearly impossible to breathe in this now extremely small room, or so it seemed. Naruto stole a quick glance at Sasukes computer screen and then focused his gaze on his now very interesting lap. The idiot was looking at pictures of vehicles. How lame.

"Are you gonna do it yet dobe?"

Naruto flinched at the sudden cold voice, that for some reason sent a chill down his spine.

"D...do what?" Naruto almost whispered.

"The quiz you moron."

"H...heck no! That's just stupid!"

"Hn."

There was an unsettling silence closing in on them from all directions. There was no sound at all and the simple dropping in a pencil may result in a very loud and unsuspected sound.

"I'll do it if you do it dobe."

Naruto cringed as the mans cold, emotionless voice sent another nerve wracking shiver down his spine.

"W..what?"

Naruto was forced to look back up at the man, wondering what the hell the idiot was going on about. There was an amused smirk playing at his light pink lips. His arms was rested on the back of his chair and his gaze was focused on the panicky blonde, waiting eagerly for a response.

"No way!" Naruto practically shouted. "Your letting it go to your head to! I'm doomed to be the only person who doesn't take this stupid ass quiz! I gotta go have ramen, before this stupidity takes over my brain to."

"If you remember correctly, I said I would take the quiz if you did and honestly...it is only out of curiousity. I sort of want to know who this system picked out for me and since I know it isn't gonna be the pink haired bitch and blonde haired freak, I am even more interested."

"Whatever man. I'm out," Naruto replied standing up and slinging his school bag over his shoulder. He turned to the door, hiding the fact that his cheeks were stained red.

What the hell am i blushing for!? This whole thing is starting to make me nauseous. I will not give in!

Sasuke chuckled slightly as the blonde tore from the room.

"Poor guy doesn't even realize how badly he wants to take this quiz. I'll just have to help him then."

Naruto was now sitting in his favorite ramen shop gulping down his thirds with a loud smack of his lips and satisfying groan as he leaned back in his chair, his stomach fully exposed and his tanned fingers caressing its painful yet satisfying fullness. He was completely oblivious to any awkward glanced shot toward him by any of the other customers. He was content right now and he was determined to let nothing spoil the mood.

"Hi Naruto," came a small gentle voice from behind him. Naruto sat up in his chair and turned around to see Hinata smiling at him.

"Oh hello Hinata!" He said with a grin.

Hinata sat next to him and suddenly looked depressed. Naruto had never seen someones mood change so fast.

"H..Hinata, are you ok?"

A small smile formed on her lips. "Yeah, I'm ok."

"Have you took the quiz yet Hinata? You told me on msn that you were going to."

"Uh...no," she said with a weak smile.

"Oh good. So you think it's crap to."

"No..it's not that. I'm just scared."

"Scared? What are you scared of Hinata?"

"Well...I see how happy everyone is after taking the quiz. I'm afraid that I'll get rejected by my soul mate. I don't want to be the only person who doesn't have their souls mate. And even if this person doesn't reject me, how am I sure that I'll be ready to commit myself to someone so easily?"

Naruto let out a long sigh.

"Look Hinato, this whole quiz thing is making my head spin and the air around me is practically smotheirng me. You do whatever you want in regards with the quiz but I wont give into something so fake."

Naruto pulled yen out of the pocket of his orange jumped and left it on the counter. "I'm going for a walk to clear my head ok."

Hinata nodded softly as she became laced within her thoughts once more.

Maybe I'll go to the bath house. Yeah, that sounds good. A nice relaxing bath to unwind and relax. Turns out that this whole quiz thing is gonna be more trouble than it looks.

Naruto stepped out into the sunligh and gentle warmth brought by the spring. With a stretch of his arms and an arch of his back, Naruto let out a loud yawn. Once he had come down the ladder from his blissfulhigh, something caught his attention and the smile on his face turned into a look of bewilderment. There, taped to the window of the Ramen shop was a photo of Sasuke at one of his shoots. Naruto stepped closer to the picture and his breath caught in his throat. Who knew that Sasuke could be so...so elegant. It was only a head shot but still..the camera had caught him so perfectly. This may very well be the best image of Sasuke that Naruto had ever come across.

Naruto began to run his finger along the mans chiseled jaw. It may have only been a photograph but it was so captivating and beautiful. His face seemed illuminated and the laquer used on the photograph brought shine to his creamy looking skin. There was a hint of anger in his expression however, there was also a hint of gentleness in his eyes, which was very rare to see in this man.

Ahg! What am I doing!?

Naruto pulled his hand away as if the picture had scorched him. "Why the hell am I staring at a picture of the bastard?" He sked himself.

Naruto looked around before tearing the picture off the wall and shoving into the pocket of his jumper. "Now I'm stuffing his photograph in my pocket. Why am I doing that? It's not like I'm a stalker or something."

This thought caused his face to turn red.

It's that damn quiz! It's going to my head and making me retarded! I need a bath now!

With that, an orange streak burst through the crowded streets, heading in the direction of the leaf bath house. Oh yes, how truly magnificent it would be for Naruto to throw himself into the warmth of the waters embrace and forget his troubles.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was just finishing lethring his hair in the foamy white goodness of what he liked to call his favorite shampoo, with the scent of old spice.

"Hmmmm" Sasuke delighted as he sank to his chin in the watery goodness. Never had a bath felt so relaxing on his tense muscles. He had never felt so tense around anyone else but...him. There was something about him...something almost teasingly fun about being around him. Sometimes, too teasing. Sasuke smirked as he remembered Narutos stuttery panicked voice as he voiced his opinions on the fad consuming the student body. He really was a lot of fun to be around.

He could only imagine how much fun it would be, pressuring the blonde into taking the quiz he was in such denial about right now. He loved to tease the little dobe, as punishment for him being annoying and just plain sucking most of the time.

"Hmmmm" Sasuke smiled as the blondes whiskered face repeated itself within his reverie. "Yes, this will indeed be fun." Sasuke reached behind him to grab the plastic container that contained a delicious looking strawberry glazed cake. Sasuke dipped his finger in and licked gently at the sticky substance now on his pale finger. He sucked gently at it contemplating on how he could get Naruto to throw away his stubborness and join the fad of the school by taking the quiz.

Suddenly, seeminly out of no where and orange blur jumped into his vision and landed in the steamy water, causing the water cascade over his shocked face and glistening shoulders. Somehow, although amazingly, the splash had not tainted the strawberry delight he held in his hands.

"What the hell!?" Sasuke asked angrily.

A shadow began to surface from below the water and it didn't take long for a blonde haired boy to come out coughing and sputtering water from his mouth as if he were the bath house fountain.

"S...Sasuke!?" He shreaked. "What the hell are you doing here!?"

Sasuke looked slightly amused and couldn't contain a small chuckle.

"Why Naruto, you didn't even bother to remove your clothing."

Naruto glanced down at himself and realized that he was still stupidly wearing his trademark orange jumper.

Oh shit the picture! It's probably ruined now! Wait! Why the hell do I care!? But...it was such a beautiful shot.

Naruto hurriedly scurried out of the bath and was about to remove his jumper when he noticed the stupid bastard staring at him.

"W..what do you want!?" He yelled, unable to hide the crimson flare in his cheeks.

Sasuke simply shrugged and averted his attention to the strawberry treat he held in his hands. It was too bad that he had lost all interest in it. He returned the container back to the edge of the bath, listening to the rustle of Narutos clothing and small curses he was uttering.

What's got him so worked up anyway?

The water began to stir and slap at Sasukes abdomen, suggesting that Naruto was returning to the water completely naked. This brought a blush to the mans turned face.

Oh my god! Why the hell am I blushing!? And why am I thinking of Naruto naked!? What the hell is going on!?

"Sasuke you can look now," said the blonde, almost in answer to his thoughts.

Sasuke then turned his attention back to the blonde who was now submerged into the water, that was lapping at his care chest.

Dear god...I shouldn't have suggested his clothing to him at all. This blonde I see before me is making me feel entirely new sensations and emotions. Come one Sasuke just ignore it. Pull yourself together...your losing it man.

"Um...are you ok?" Naruto asked.

"Hn," Sasuke shrugged bfore dunking his hair in the warm water to remove any access shampoo that wasn't washed away by the blonde's eager splash.

Naruto couldn't help but stare as Sasuke contiuously ran his fingers through his hair, washing away the foamy white of the shampoo and leaving in its wake, sleek, shiny, jet black hair.

"You know what I think would be fun?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto tilted his head as a way of telling him to continue.

"I think we should take the quiz Naruto. It's not that i believe in it. I'm just curious is all."

No way because if I do...I fear you may be my soul mate. Here I am crushing on you, when we both know that you hate me and that I am not particularly fond of you either. Imagine the trouble it would cause between us you bastard. Although, deep down...I think I want it to be you. Ah! What the fuck!? Is this how I'm going to spend the rest of my days!? Living in fear of falling for the stupid bastard!? Like that's ever gonna happen! No freakin way! The quiz is definitely off limits.

"Take the stupid quiz yourself, you bastard," Naruto muttered before clibing from the bath. He was going to have to find another place to relax, his muscled were sore from clenching them beneath the waters surface, at the beautiful sight before him.

Such glistening skin and onyx eyes. You just might be the death of me Uchiha.
