Note: This chapter is in present time.

The Situation...

"And just what kind of positioning was that teme? Eh!"

Sasuke could feel the penetrating glares coming from his right but kept his eyes fixed on the sight before him.

"TEME! LIST-"

"I am listening. Dobe."

Naruto's scowl almost matched the frown adorning Sasuke's face as he crossed his arms against his chest. He was childishly pouting and he knew it but he was about to do anything to get an answer out of that stubborn near-mute mule. "What..." A coy smile was on Naruto's face and instinctively Sasuke's shoulders tensed up. "Were you actually up to something naughty when I-"

"Why are you so intent on having some kind of justification for a simple misunderstanding dobe?"

"Because! You and Sa-ku-ra were in such an interesting position when-"

Just then the white knuckles tightened on the wheel and Sasuke's head turned so sharply to regard Naruto that the wheel jerked.

"Sasuke!" The shout came from the back of the car and caused both boys to jump. "Watch the road! For Pete's sake, if you must, finish this conversation later, when we're not on the freeway!" Sharp green eyes pinned Naruto down with a glare, "And you! Stop antagonizing him! Your stupidity is going to get us killed!"

"But Sakura-chaaaan!"

"No buts! If you weren't so close to Sasuke I'd have hit you already!"

He gave her the most pitiful look he could muster as she mumbled something about how he would probably fly into Sasuke and crash them all to a horrible death if she did punch him. That would be just her luck.

"Teme! No smirking at me! You're still in trouble with Sakura-chan too!"

"Naruto!"

"But!-"

She glared at him hard.

"But he was all over you Sakura-chan! He was on top of you and had you pinned and-"

"Naruto..." There it was, the scary way she drawled our his name when she was mad. "Do you really need to know so badly?"

A nod.

"..." She gave a heavy sigh and stared at him with an extremely disappointed look. "Really, if you must know... We were playing-"

The car vroomed as Sasuke hit the accelerate suddenly and caused both to look to him. He had a scowl on his face as his eyes glared at the fairly innocent road before him.

"You were playing... what?"

A grin crept across her face as she stared at Sasuke and suddenly comprehended. Of course! The Uchiha pride was at stake here after all.

"Sakura..."

"What?" She was smiling at him innocently from the rear-view mirror and he did not like it one bit. With a short 'Hn' he turned his eyes back to the fools on the road that were stupid enough to crash into anyone and pursed his lips.

Naruto's blue eyes were flashing back and forth between the pair as he watched the silent war begin. Glancing at Sasuke he saw the mule butt beginning to stick out as he clearly gave her the message of 'Try something and you will regret it'. But when Naruto looked towards Sakura he could see the gears in her mind shifting as she plotted something, something sinister maybe even. Oh this would be fun!

"Ne, Sakura-chan, you said you actually got teme to play with you?"

Startled green eyes flicked over to Naruto's blue ones as she was jerked out of her thoughts. "Oh, hm? Yes." She smiled. "I got Sasuke-kun to play a game with me..."

There was a heavy silence coming from the front but Sakura just continued to ignorantly smile.

"Oh! I thought you meant you and teme were, you know, playing..."

"...WHAT?" The car jerked only slightly and Sakura's face was about as red as Sasuke's favorite fruit.

"N-Naruto! What even made you think that? We are not like whatever you read in those magazines of yours!"

"But he was on top of you with his arms by your sides and then-"

"Naruto! We were playing a game!"

"A game?"

"Yes! NO! Not like you're thinking!" She couldn't stop the heavy aggravated groan that escaped her lips. If only he wasn't sitting next to that stupid smirking Sasuke... "Don't even Sasuke..."

"Don't what?"

She growled and narrowed her eyes down at him like arrows ready to pierce him through and through. "You know perfectly well what..."

Something tugged at the corner of his lips and before he could correct it, he had a small mischievous grin on his face.

"So..." Naruto leaned between the seats, twisting his body so he could look at Sakura. "What were you playing? Cops and Robbers?"

Sakura's eyes looked at him in shock as the red climbed up her face again.

"Maybe it was Doctor and Patient?"

Emeralds were looking at him with enough hostility to burn through walls.

"But Sakura-chan's the Doctor so wouldn't she be on top?" Naruto's voice was coated sweetly in innocence that was quickly forgotten at the sound of a snort from the driver's seat. Sasuke had a hand against his mouth as he tried to regain his composure. He, unfortunately, looked up at the wrong time to see the most angry glare mixed with a pout on Sakura's face in the rear-view mirror and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Her? On top?" There was that snort again.

"What?" The steely voice made Naruto shrink back slightly to get out of the range of fire but Sasuke kept that smirk on his face as his hand returned to join the other on the steering wheel.

"You don't think I could take top over you?"

There was a challenge issued in that question but Sasuke just snickered. "As if you could."

"Really now?" Sakura leaned back in her seat and crossed her arms. Wild blue eyes flashed between the pair and he wasn't sure if this was going to turn from entertainment to danger very soon or not. She was getting calmer and that never was good with a storm brewing.

Sasuke said nothing but the smirk still graced his lips as he kept a watch on the road.

"Okay, Mr. Uchiha. We'll see what happens tonight then."

"W-what?"

Sakura shrugged. "Oh, you know. You'll see tonight."

"I doubt it."

"Me too." She was smiling and both Sasuke and Naruto had to do a double take.

"What?" It was Naruto questioning it but Sakura had already forgotten he was there. Sasuke was staring at her in the rear-view mirror and she could see his eyes plainly. She smiled brighter at him.

"Sakura... What are you planning?"

"Nothing." She was still smiling but it seemed to widen even further by just a bit.

"Sakura..." Her name was being drawled in a lower tone and more dangerously. "What do you have planned?"

That innocent smile was still intact as she spoke again, "Nothing, Sasuke-kun, absolutely nothing."

"...Hn."

She arched a pink eyebrow at him. "Is that defeat I hear?"

A sharp glare left her with her answer and she shrugged nonchalantly, "Eh, it's your night."

Naruto, was now confused beyond belief. "Sakura-chan?"

"Hm?"

"Uh... Well.." Then a thought hit him and he grinned. "You know you can tell me what you're planning and I can help get back at teme with you!" This would be good.

"Ah, I'm sorry Naruto-chan. I don't need any help with getting back at Sasuke-kun because I'm not doing anything to him. I'm not doing anything at all to him tonight." Her eyes had switched targets at the last sentence and an epiphany crashed down on Sasuke like an avalanche.

Oh.

"Hn."

She smiled. Naruto, catching it after a minute's contemplation and analyzing Sasuke's grudgingly defeated look that held a hint of pouting in it with Sakura's smug look of victory and faced Sasuke. "Oooo! None for you tonight teme! Serves you right, trying to get some early-"

BAM!

"Ahhh! Sakura-chan! Why'd you do that?" Holding his pain throbbing skull he looked towards Sakura hurt. "I thought you said you weren't going to hit me! I could cause us to crash!"

"Oh, look at that."

Naruto, still in pain looked around clueless.

"I guess we haven't crashed yet!" A smile graced her lips. "What great luck!"

"Sakura-chaaaaaan..."

"Oh don't be such a baby! Look, we're here." Hopping out of the car she grinned back at the two boys, one holding his head and the other glaring at her with a look that clearly said 'This is not over yet.'

"What Sasuke-kun?"

"Hn. Don't think you've won."

"Oh?" She shrugged and bounded ahead a few steps up the cobble stone pathway before turning halfway.

"Oh, and Naruto-chan?" He looked up and saw her looking over her shoulder with the most blissful look he's ever seen on her face.

"Yeah?"

"We were playing Twister."

"EH?" Her skipping form was quickly disappearing as Naruto's shocked face turned coyly on the Sasuke who was glaring at the empty cobblestone pathway before him.

"SAKURA!" Then he was gone and Naruto ran after him, grin getting wider on his face by the minute. "Teme was playing Twister! A kid's game! Hah ha ha! Temeeeeee! Who knew the great Sasuke Uchiha played kid games!"
