Bold letters Sakura's narration
"As we made the bet it was time for us to meet our targets and make our move, we both knew we couldn't rush things. We had to take things slowly in order for us to tame them, to have their friendship first before having their hearts in order to use their love to our favor. And eventually where it will lead to ultimate heartbreak where we will dump them in front of everyone at the school. Two months to make them fall in love with us it sure sounded easy for us, but in those two months people can really change their perspective of life like we did…."
(Location: Hokage high school first floor locker area Tokyo Japan)
Naruto was still smiling at his latest prank yet watching his friends covered in shaving cream, they looked hilarious. His new prank invention really worked he was always testing all kinds of things that will help him achieve the perfect prank of course he made the pranks to be inoffensive, not in a way that he could get expel from the school. He knew the three teens weren't happy with him for being victims of his prank, it wasn't the first time it has happened before. The three teens were his best friend since they were at junior high at the seventh grade so they knew each other very well, and even back then he was doing his pranks. They have gotten used to it but they will still get annoyed to this very day.
Shikamaru was the lazy boy with no motivation whatsoever, he was all laid back. He pretty much thought that almost everything was troublesome school is troublesome, getting up early in the morning was troublesome, studying was troublesome, girls were troublesome and life was troublesome. About waking up to go to school he had no choice because his mother always wakes him up whom he considers to be the most troublesome woman in the entire world. He being so lazy was the reason he was considered a loser with having some low scores in classes, the only thing he likes the most was cloud watching he didn't thought it was troublesome. He wasn't even sad when Ino broke up with him he looked like he could care less but he was feeling better that a troublesome girl has left him for good.
Chouji was Shikamaru's best friend since they were little because he was the only person who protected him from the bullies whenever he was being picked on for his weight. He loves to eat a lot and his favorite food is bbq pork and bbq flavored chips but he still ate about everything. Because he was chubby and a big eater he was part of Homage's losers club most of the students will tease him, but others remained neutral. If there was one thing he hated the most it was being called fatso, the word always brings the worst in him and he looked very scary when he was angry. So some of the students stood quiet deciding that it was best to avoid experiencing his wrath, all in all he was a good person and kind when it comes down to it.
Lastly Kiba was a little stubborn and hardheaded sometimes, he was a bit similar in personalities with Naruto. He has enjoyed and laughed at some of the blonds' pranks in the past, of course when he wasn't the victim. He cares a lot for his friends and his best friend in the entire world it's his dog Akamaru, it was such a shame that the school didn't allow pets or he will bring the dog in heart beat. He was very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and animals because his mother and sister are vetenerians, and he was planning in following their footsteps too. He was part of the losers club simply because he hangs out with the rest of the losers that was the only reason. He cares a lot for Shikamaru, Chouji and Naruto they were his buds and always treasure his friends like the whiskered blond. Although right now he wasn't feeling happy with the blond for being a victim to shaving cream.
Naruto saw his friend's expressions and they were obviously more annoyed with him than angry. He thought that this prank was more innocent than his previous pranks maybe he should have chosen a different target. He wasn't sad for choosing them but he saw it was amusing to see them in shaving cream he has been deciding between the shaving cream and can whip cream, but then again he knew Chouji will be eating the cream right about now.
"You guys should know when to take a joke."
"Not when the joke is on us" Kiba gave a frown.
"I'd rather see someone else get caught in the prank" replied Shikamaru.
"Couldn't you at least used food to throw at our faces instead of shaving cream?" whined Chouji he didn't minded to eat the food without using his hands.
"So you could eat it all before you guys started whining I don't think so?" the whiskered blond gave a smirk.
"This is troublesome we should go wash up before lunch ends" said Shikamaru.
Chouji nodded" yes I don't want to miss lunch.
"We'll see you later Naruto" Kiba said.
"Right…."
The three boys from the losers club went back to the boy's bathroom as Naruto headed to his locker, he didn't know he was being watched. Not too far from the hallway stood Sakura she was still in the same spot where Sasuke introduced the Uzumaki as her fuck boy for their bet. Her jade eyes were only on the blond, she was eyeing him like a hungry hawk eyeing its prey waiting for the right moment to strike. She couldn't be any more annoyed and upset than she was right now, how she hated Sasuke right about now. If he wasn't family she would have beaten the living shit out of him for giving her a bad target to have her way in her sick, twisted bet that she invented. She can have any boy from the school with just snapping her fingers and they will all come down to her getting on their knees, praising her like she was their queen. But no her target and victim was now the rotten apple that has fallen from the tree of fresh apples a long time ago and she wasn't fond with hanging with rotten fruits, not when she couldn't stand them.
She has never been fond of the blond not as long as she remembers him, in fact she was well familiar with him. She has known him since they were in elementary school back at the sixth grade she knew he hasn't change sine because he was still the same as she remembers him. Always loud and annoying, always playing pranks on other and she hated to admit that here were times that she has come to laughed at them and enjoyed them, in secrecy she liked the Uzumaki. Of course that was before she started maturing and seeing him for what he really is which it's an annoying idiot who wasn't worth of her time. She has always ignored him not even saying a word to him every time she has seen him she pretended like he wasn't there and kept on walking passing him by. Eventually when came to this school and sadly she saw him once again, she started seeing him as the biggest loser that Hokage high has ever had. She never thought she will have to make a move on him to fall prey to her bet, but first try she will have to gain his friendship before moving on to the next phase of her plan.
She fixed her long pink hair while touching her boobs checking that her uniform is right making sure she was very gorgeous, she saw that the whiskered blond was at his locker picking some books it was the right time to strike' okay Haruno Sakura you can do this I will make it quick, before going to his heart and make him my slave for humiliation I have to win over his friendship, can't be too fast on him though after all I have plenty of time to make him my tool….'
She walked towards him giving her sweet smile playing her role of the most popular girl in the school she was into her character. The innocent, smart girl who always focused on her studies and duties concerning the school system she was also student council president, she was the good girl with a heart as cold as ice. She was standing behind him giving her best smile yet while in her mind she was shouting in desperation not to go through with this, for crying out loud she was going to talk to the biggest loser in the entire school. But she kept in mind why she was doing this in the first place the bet with Sasuke she was going to win, take all of his money and the car he buys. If there was one thing she was well known is for being very stubborn she was planning in losing a bet she made, losing is not an option for her. She finally chose her first words to talk to him something that will definitely get his attention.
'I have to be my sweet self and follow his lead there's nothing to worry about, after all he's just another boy looking to nail some pussy….'
"That was a nice prank."
Naruto's eyes widened from the shock he thought he has heard wrong. He has just heard the sweet angelic voice of the one person he knew so well someone he thought that will never speak to him. He wasn't dreaming at least he wished he wasn't this was just too good to be true he felt his heart beat getting faster, hoping that this wasn't some kind of sick joke or wonderful dream. Turning around he was met by a pair of beautiful jade orbs with gorgeous bubble pink hair and a smile that will make any boy blush. Now he really believed he was dreaming to see the one girl he has always like staring at him seemed to be impossible, the shocking part she has talked to him. He has known the pink haired teen since they were in the sixth grade but she never paid any attention to him, always ignoring him and he knew that she didn't like him. She didn't even like his pranks she always looked away from him, according to him. But he was asking himself why she was talking to him now he was really dreaming or just seeing things, he came to the conclusion if she never talked to him since the sixth grade why now when they were on the twelve grade just one year before they graduate.
He stood there shocked looking at the pink haired girl who was still smiling sweetly at him he really didn't know what to say to her. Sure he should talk to her back after she has finally said a word to him in six years, to finally talk to the girl of his dreams was a dream come true. Sakura's left brow twitched at the fact that it's been five minutes since she has talked to him and he hasn't answered her back although it was to be expected from a normal point of view. He was the dead last and no one will bother talking to him unless other members from the losers club, of course he will be speechless to be talked to by the most popular girl in school.
'He hasn't said a word to me and he's already annoying me…..what a loser.'
"Hey are you in there?" she asked trying not to lose her patience.
Naruto finally blinked getting back to reality he looked left then right before turning back to her" you talking to me?"
"Yes I am" she replied with a smile.
"Okay…" he was still shocked that she was finally talking to him.
"So shaving cream not too much of originality as a prank but it's a classic prank."
"Heh I guess" he was feeling uneasy it felt so weird that she was actually taking her time to say a word to him.
'I have to make it look good I can't make him get suspicious of my actions….'
"Sakura-chan….?"
The pink haired teen reacted negative with a small frown she hated when Naruto called her that, she just didn't like it whenever he will call her name with a suffix. It has become a natural reaction for her to hate that name calling from him, even if no one else from school will call with a suffix. She erased her expression keeping her smile just looking at the whiskered blond she could tell he was shocked, confused and just plain speechless of her talking to him. She just needed to act normal and real enough that she was enjoying talking to him when in truth she wasn't, she really wanted to get this over with already.
"Sakura-chan…." Naruto started again" I really don't know what to say…."
"What do you mean?"
The blond gave a silly grin which she thought it made him looked like an idiot" this feels weird you know, I don't know why you're talking to me not that I don't like it. You have never talked to me before but here you are talking to me sorry if I'm acting weird."
'Looks like he's not as stupid as he looks' the pink haired student gave a mental grin.
"You're right it is weird and almost impossible that I'm talking to you now but, listen Naruto do you have a minute I would like to talk to you?" she gave him another sweet smile with the purpose to convince him.
"Yeah I don't mind…."
"Thanks walk with me."
He nodded closing his locker making sure that the locked was well placed, once that was out of the way he started walking the hall ways of the school with the pink haired teen. He felt nervous and embarrassed to be walking side by side with Sakura made him blush it almost felt like they were very close friends that has established a powerful bond, he really wanted that. In his heart he likes her very much he has always had a spot for her it was empty since she never talked to him or like him for the matter. Part of his dream have become true with just walking with her exchanging words with the other he smiled at her while she smiled back but deep inside she hated it, she was feeling scared walking the halls with him. She has noticed some of the students that has finished lunch looking at them they were already whispering things to others, it won't be long before the entire school finds out that she was talking to the biggest loser of Hokage high she was well familiar with the gossip systems in the school.
"So what do you want to talk about Sakura-chan?" Naruto gave another goofy grin hiding his blush.
"It's about you basically…."
"Me?" he blinked feeling embarrassed.
She nodded looking around noticing a couple of students staring at them they reached outside of the school leading to the front here they weren't anyone. She sighed as she got seated on the staircase and signaled the blond to seat next to her which he did but he was trying so hard to hide his embarrassment.
"For a while now I have been doing a lot of soul searching and well I don't know you, yet I remembered you since the sixth grade even if you still haven't change from back then. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to have a chance to know you better Naruto" she looked at him hoping that he will accept her request she did thought it was the best excuse she could come up with.
The whiskered blond was taken back he felt himself blush "get to know me better like getting together?"
'For now I will be gaining your friendship before gaining your heart and that's where I will enjoy crushing it into millions of pieces….'
She remembered she had to play her part right and she was a very good actress so she frowned at his comment" don't you even think about it, it's definitely not what you have in mind. I was referring of me having the chance to let you in my life and perhaps form a friendship with you."
"Oh right you want us to be friends" Naruto gave a goofy grin but he was still happy.
"Yes if you want to we can become friends, of course I'm not obligating you or any of the sorts."
The blond thought it will be stupid to say to her this is what he has been dreaming for so long. To finally have the pink haired student as his friend to for a bond with her, he wanted to have a friendship. The thought of forging a strong bond of becoming more than just friends crossed his mind, but for now this will be enough for him. A great opportunity has been brought up to him he wasn't going to refuse it he had a feeling this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, part of his dream that he wants to fulfill.
She looked at his waiting for his answer making sure to give the sweetest smile she can make" what do you say Naruto want to be my friend?" she offered his hand for a handshake.
He gave a big smile" of course I want to be your friend Sakura-chan!"
She smiled taking his hand in the handshake" then we're officially friends."
"Hehe thanks" he was giving his usual goofy grin.
Even if the pink haired student was smiling shaking his hand in her mind she was grinning so evilly' the moment you shake my hand was the day you have signed a contract with the devil because I'm going to make your life a living hell dead last. I will enjoy humiliating you and toying with your heart grabbing it with my hand and then squash it very slowly, welcome to my hell in the cruel game of life loser….'
They broke the handshake while Naruto was still smiling" well lunch period is almost over I really have to get to my next class."
"Right I have to get to my class too."
"Then I will see you later Sakura-chan."
"Later then…."
The blond entered back to the school while Sakura gave an evil grin because everything has gone exactly as she has planned, and best of all it turned out easier than she thought. This was the first step into moving forward to win the bet she knew she has gained an advantage over her competition, she was so confident that he rival didn't stood a chance in beating her.
'You have no idea what you have gotten yourself into Uzumaki Naruto?'
She chuckle gazing at her hand the one that made the handshake with the blond" eww I touched him better wash it I don't want to get infected with the loser syndrome."
She went back to the school aware that the word will eventually break out that she has become friends with the dead last she knew the risk that will threaten her popularity. But it was necessary risk to make in order to win the bet she grinned thinking about the Uchiha, she has been successful in capturing her target in her trap to have Naruto as her fuck boy. She had a strong feeling that it wasn't going to be the same with the raven haired teen, she kept her grin just thinking about the scenario.
'So far so good the dead last is my helpless prey, the dies are rolling in my favor as always. It's such a shame that Sasuke-kun won't have better luck he probably knows that it won't be easy to capture big tits Hinata because in order to get to her he has to try and cross a strong bridge an impossible to cross kind of bridge' she was still grinning.

(Location: second floor classroom)
It was the last period class and they were taking math class under Mrs. Yuhi Kurenai a beautiful woman in her mid twenties with long dark hair and gorgeous ruby eyes. Lucky for some people like Sasuke he was glad that this was one of the classes Sakura wasn't with him he was actually glad he didn't had to see her face. Although he cares for her sometimes she annoys him and after making the bet with him she will annoy him even more, gloating at him that she already had the bet won. He knew her that well especially when he has she has already made her move on Naruto, he's been hearing all over the school that popular council student president has became friends with the dead last. It wasn't good for him he needed to act fast before the pink haired student gets more ahead of him he was going to make his move. Another thing he was glad about this period besides leaving school is that this was the only period he had together with Hinata, it was the perfect opportunity to strike. He sworn that by today he will have her as a friend, getting to her and convince her wasn't going to be easy he knew it all too well.
His onyx eyes turned to the location of her seat the paled eye teen was paying attention to the teacher while writing on her notebook, she looked like she was a smart girl a bookworm perhaps. He actually if she was a bimbo or smart he has never thought what kind of girl he likes, as long as he gets to bang them that's all that matters to him. He started checking her out from her seat nice long legs followed by her nice bust too bad that the school uniform was covering her body he would love to see her in a swim suit. She was attractive in a way she was a passable target he just didn't know how to approach her she was different from other girls, she wasn't the type to go for a booty call. He will have to play his strategy carefully to get close to her and eventually win her over he noticed that by now Hinata was staring and she quickly turned her gaze away she was probably embarrassed that he has been staring at her. He grinned going back to pay attention to the teacher he didn't wanted to get her attention because he wasn't paying attention to her class.
"Remember class to study for your algebra quiz on Thursday" said Kurenai.
The school bell ran meaning it was the end of the last period everyone started getting up from their seats.
"See you tomorrow class."
Sasuke made sure he was last to exit the classroom he started following Hinata, or more precise stalked her even if stalking wasn't in his nature. He followed her through the halls while the crowd of students was heading for the stairs happy to leave the school and enjoy freedom like some of them say. He was lucky that she hasn't noticed him watching her because of the many students and she was only paying attention to leave, he needed to be careful not to lose her. If she leaves the school he will lose his chance to make the first move on her and Sakura will continue to be on the lead to win the bet. He cursed in his mind she was getting further away going downstairs he couldn't believe it if this goes on he will lose her for sure. It seemed luck was on the Uchiha's side as Hinata accidentally tripped on the stairs dropping some of the books that she was carrying it was bad enough no one was helping her as the students continued their way down to the first floor.
'Perfect' he grinned at the lucky chance he's been given.
He went next to her picking up the two heavy books noticing that she looked like she hurt ankle on her fall" you okay?"
"Ye….yes I'm fine I hurt my ankle a little but it's nothing serious…."
"I got your books."
"Thank you they don't fit in my back pack because they're quite big and heavy…."
The paled eye student finally looked at the kind person who bothered to take his time and helped her pick up her books. Once she took look at the person her eyes widened in shock she couldn't believe it, she thought that she was dreaming. She was meeting face to face with Uchiha Sasuke the most popular boy in the school he was staring at her with his usual brooding expression while he was still holding her books. For a moment she thought she has lost her grip on reality so many question started popping in her head why was this happening, why he was helping her, why he would take his time to help an outcast like herself she wasn't part of the group of popular girls like Sakura and Ino. She wasn't a big talker because of shyness and insecurity she was considered an outsider from the rest, yet here she was in front of Sasuke who just helped her pick up her books. She didn't know what to do sure she did thanked him for the kind act but she was still wondering why he was doing this, maybe there was kindness in his heart after all.
Sasuke knew that her shocking expression was understandable Hinata was below the popularity poll in the school, for someone like him to be talking to her was a sign that it could be the end of the world. It was amusing here he was trying to talk to a less popular girl and he had to make her fall for him in order to sleep with her and then dump her in front of the entire school. The bet was tough and Sakura has made it tougher for him but he wasn't planning in giving up, take all of her money and her Mustang GT was a good prize if he wins. He will have to make it look good if he wanted to win over the Hyuga teen first her friendship, then her heart and finally getting into her pants if it was possible. He had to sweat dropped holding her books she was still in some kind of trance ever since she found out that it was him the one who helped her. He was starting to get annoyed at her reaction it wasn't everyday he will mind paying attention to a girl like her.
'Looks like she has lost it….'
"Hey you all right….?"
Hinata blinked breaking her spacing out" oh….yes I'm sorry I di….didn't m…me….mean it thank you for the h…help."
'Great she's stuttering I wonder if I'll live through that….'
"No problem you looked like you needed the help."
"Thank you….could you give them back to me?" she replied in a timid way.
"I won't mind carry them for you."
"What….you want to carry them all the way out of the school?"
"I don't have a problem with it" he replied coolly.
"But you don't have to" Hinata was still shocked that the most popular boy in Hokage high was bothering himself to help her.
"I want to…."
She stood quiet slowly her pale eyes stared at his onyx orbs" why are you doing this?"
"Hmm" he didn't hear her because she replied in a whisper.
"Why are you helping me someone like you shouldn't even bother to help someone like me?" she said louder finally asking the big question.
'I knew she was smart….' He thought giving a sigh.
"I would like to have a word with you once we leave the school."
Hinata nodded agreeing to let him explain they started going down the stairs, unaware that someone was watching them. A pair of eyes was on both students as they went down to the first floor of the school however they were full of anger and hatred staring at Sasuke the person obviously didn't like the Uchiha at all, he was only concerned for the Hyuga teen. He left after a couple of minutes going down the stairs.
(Scene change)
"Sasuke….?" Hinata was feeling unsure of his sudden actions.
"Look I know it's not normal for me to help you like that, I understand your reaction."
She managed to give a smile" I guess….but I'm glad you decided to help so I'm grateful that you did."
"The reason I did….I guess I felt sorry for you."
"Sorry?"
"I saw you at the cafeteria during lunch when that girl made you tripped and you dropped your books. I felt bad I didn't help you back then although you should be upset that she did that, she did it on purpose you know."
"It's a…all right I'm used to it there's no need to interfere with her, it will probably turn out into a fight."
The Uchiha looked back at her he needed to make this look good in order to convince her to fall into his trap" I'm not used to being this kind, I'm usually very rude and cold maybe you're the reason that I act this way…."
"What….?" she suddenly blushed at his bold statement.
"I read that sometimes a person can bring the good in someone, I didn't believe in any of that. But after today maybe I was wrong I think I have found that person."
The paled eyed student was still blushing" I…..S….Sasuke…."
"I think someone like you deserves to have friends, you have always been lonely right?"
She slowly nodded remembering since she arrived at Hokage high she has always been the big loner. Because of her timid personality and her insecurity she never had any friends she was the outcast who was unpopular because she was too quiet. She has secretly long for some friends and forge friendship with other girls as well as boys but she has never been successful, she was only good in studying. She was a smart student with a high score but she had the lowest score when it comes to having friends, if only her social skills were as good as her studying skills.
Sasuke has given her a convincing smile" that's why I have decided to be your friend…."
Her eyes widened in shock" what….?"
"I want to become your friend" the raven haired teen repeated.
"You….really want to be my friend?" Hinata was more shocked.
"If it's all right with you…."
"Yes I want to have a friend" she quickly replied no hesitation whatsoever.
"Okay then we're friends how about if we hang out later today?"
She timidly nodded while he smiled" how about if you wait for me at the McDonalds across the school at 3 o' clock?"
"Okay…."
"Don't worry I will pick you up."
"Thank you Sasuke I will be there."
"See you then…."
Sasuke left with a grin on his face he never thought Hinata was so naïve she should think twice before accepting to become his friend so easily. She obviously didn't know the rumors about him always finding a girl to bang each day he has probably do every girl on the school except for a few. He looked back at the Hyuga student who smiled at him looking very happy to have made her first friend in school, she didn't had a clue what she has gotten herself into. He was still grinning walking out of the school building she has fallen as his prey everything was going according to his plan.
'I can't believe that went so easy easier than I thought, she accepted my invitation rather quickly I guess she wants to make friends so badly. But anyway so far so good Sakura and I are both in a draw for now, but if I'm going to pick up Hinata today I'm going to need a car I guess it's time to buy my Camaro….'
(Scene change)
Naruto has left the school building and has reached the parking lot of the school he was humming a happy tune. He was obviously happy for a great today especially when he has become an official friend of Sakura, the girl he has always like secretly anyway. He went to a tree the same spot where he always leaves his bike his only transportation to get to school. He has bought the bike with some of the money he has saved from his par time job at Ichihraku's ramen restaurant it was a good source to get some exercise. He got on and started pedaling leaving the parking lot when he reached outside of the school on the front he saw his three friends getting into a Chevrolet pickup van. Shikamaru got front on the passenger seat while Kiba and Chouji got on the back he took a look of the driver of the pickup he did recognized him. It was an older man in his early thirties who resemblance Shikamaru a lot except for the small bear on his chin, he was obviously his father. He knows Nara Shikaku who is always the person who picks the three teens after school and leaves them at their homes, since they leave close to the Nara residence.
"Hey Mr. Nara!" he greeted.
The older man smiled" her Naruto how's everything?"
"Great school has ended so I'm obviously happy."
"Heh typical Naruto" Kiba said with a smirk.
"How about if you come with us I'm sure Shikaku-san won't mind giving you a ride home?" asked Chouji.
"It's all right Chouji Naruto has his bike he can get home on his own" replied Shikamaru.
"That's right but thanks for the offer" he gave his grin.
"I will see you later Naruto" Shikaku said ready to leave.
"See you later Naruto!" said Kiba.
"Bye guys!" he shouted watching the van leave with his friends.
He resumed riding on his bike thinking about Sakura the fact that he has become his friend has made his day and life all better. He blushed giving a quick glance to his right hand which he gave the handshake with the pink haired teen he has actually touched her hand. He started thinking about her sweet smile looking at him with so much happiness her jade eyes showing a lot of affection. In his mind there were a couple of words that has stayed written forever in his head remembering her about today.
"Then we're officially friends…."
'I can't believe it I'm really Sakura-chan's friend maybe just maybe we can get the chance to become more than friends in the future' he blushed at the thought.
He went back to pay attention at the road ahead not wanting to have an accident on his bike. He didn't realize that at the street a red Mustang GT has gotten next to him it was none other than Sakura. She shook her head seeing his transportation and thought it was lame, riding a bike it sure made him looked geeky or a nerd.
"Hey Naruto!"
The whiskered blond turned to the direction where he heard his name looking at the pink haired girl of his dreams he gave a big smile" Sakura-chan!"
She gasped he has taken his eyes on the path he was traveling" look out!"
The blond fell from his bike for hitting a small hole on the sidewalk Sakura stopped the car smirking at the sight she tried not to laugh.
'This is going to be fun' she was already enjoying having the dead last as her friend supposedly.
"Naruto you okay you're not dead?" she went to him pocking him with a stick.
"It's okay Sakura-chan I'm fine" he gave his goofy grin getting up he was feeling hurt though.
"You should pay attention to where you're looking at to prevent these kinds of accidents."
"I know you just took me by surprise that's all…."
She sweat dropped" are you saying it's my fault?"
"No of course not it's my fault for taking my eyes away from the road."
She smiled hearing that he was right" good now I just came to tell you that I and my friends are going to the mall, would you like to go with me?"
"What….you want me to go with you?" Naruto was shocked.
"Of course silly we're friends right?"
"Oh right yeah I would love to go with you" he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Then get in I'll drive us there."
"But what about my bike….?"
"Just put it in the trunk."
He nodded picking up his bike as Sakura got inside her car lifting the lever of the trunk opening it. He carefully put the bike but accidentally the upper part of the trunk making him gasped, he wasn't the only one. Sakura heard that and glared at the blond teen she felt the painful blow herself her car was her baby like it was her son and mothers felt the pain of their sons. After all she loves her Mustang with all of her heart and no one messes with her pride and joy, those who did will only suffered severe consequences. She was still glaring at him as he closed the trunk tightly before opening the passenger door and getting in, closing the door. She was praying to have patience and strength to not end up beating Naruto to death, to keep him alive to have her way with him and then dump him. She already knew that having him for two months was going to be the most annoying months in her entire life. The whiskered blond was still feeling embarrassed and flattered it was the first time he has been inside her car.
"Naruto?"
"Hmm yeah…."
"Let's get one thing straight" she smiled at him trying to erase the thought of choking him to death" while you're in this car you will treated it with respect like it was a real live person because it doesn't belongs to you. I worked very hard to earn the money to buy it and I don't want to see a single scratch on it, especially on the paint job."
'Well most of the money I earned it from blackmailing people but that still counts as working hard….'
"Yeah sure I won't let anything bad happens to your car I promise" he gave her his goofy grin.
'Idiot' she frowned mentally at his grin she hated his grin it made him look more stupid' that's one minus point for having you as a friend and one positive point for disliking you even more….'
She put the car on drive and they were off her next destination was the Tokyo mall across downtown. She noticed that Naruto has fastened his safety belt and has taken something from his backpack, she recognized the object as a music CD. She sweat dropped CD's were old and primitive the technology was replaced with Ipods, Iphones and other gadgets that let you hear MP3's. That is until she saw the covered of the CD and the title her eyes widened, her mouth was wide open and she tried so hard not to crash the car from taking her eyes on the front.
"Holy shit Disturbed Asylum!"
Naruto smiled at her expression" I know I had the same look too it's their new album."
"I didn't know they have released a new album!" she felt so disappointed like she wasn't a true fan of the band.
"You have a CD player-"
"Yes put it in!" she cut him off reading his mind.
"Sure I bought it yesterday but I haven't gotten the time to listen to it yet."
He opened the case putting the CD on the player Sakura quickly turned he volume to max level not caring if her car explodes from the loud music. The car was now hit by loud rock music while the pink haired teen was banging to the album of the band followed by Naruto, they will definitely enjoyed the trip to the mall while listening to the new album. Sakura was loving the album so far but she managed to composed herself as she looked at Naruto who was still banging his head she actually smiled she needed to ask him to borrow the CD, this album is must have on her itunes library and Ipod. Both teens were rocking out to the loud music it looked like they were already good friends, at least that's what Naruto thought unlike a certain cold pink haired girl. She has made a mental note listening to the new album from one of her favorite bands about the dead last of Hokage high.
'I guess he gets a positive one in friendship terms but I still dislike him, damn this album kicks ass!'

(Location: Tokyo mega car dealer downtown district)
Sasuke was walking across he large car dealer he was impressed by the sight of many automobiles. He had to whistle in amazement there were a lot of good models of cars from Nissan, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Subaru among others he could easily fall in love with the place. Some cars have really caught his attention like Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and the Subaru Impreza STR, but those vehicles were out of his league he wasn't worthy of them here was only one car he wanted. He took a long look at the new model of the Eclipse he stopped from staring at it due that he was captivated by its beauty, he finally made his way to the Chevrolet section where he will find his dream car. He stopped dead in his racks he finally saw it the new Camaro and it was colored black the same color he was looking for, his onyx eyes were wide as he was staring at the most beautiful thing he has ever laid eyes on. He has found it there was no second guesses no holding him back he knew what he wanted.
'That car is mine….'
From the office of the dealer the owner has just finished doing business with another customer who left his shop very satisfying. He was wearing grey suit he had spiky dark hair and dark eyes he sighed happily as he got seated on his desk enjoying the cool of his air conditioning, happy that he has made a sale today. He decided to take a look through his window spotting the raven haired teen staring at the black Camaro like he was in a trance he gave a big grin his break has ended. It was back to work leaving his office, headed straight towards the Uchiha with a big smile on his face.
'Another customer I sure love my job'
He approached him while Sasuke saw him" welcome to the Tokyo meda dealer I'm Kotetsu how can I be of service to you?"
"You're very lucky for having all of these cars" he replied with a grin.
Kotetsu laughed" how true but you my friend are the luckiest because I assured you that today you will be leaving my shop in one of these lovely vehicles."
"I really hope so I have to pick up this girl today I really need a car."
"You have come to the right place buddy, just between you and me the ladies go crazy for a guy with a hot ride they say a man is as good as the car he drives."
"I don't think she's the kind of girl that gets aroused just by looking at the car someone has" Sasuke was still grinning thinking about Hinata.
"There will always be one of those rare girls but anyway my friend is there an specific vehicle you're interested?"
"I have already decided way before coming here" he pointed to the black Camaro next to them" I want this car I am determined to have it no matter what."
"You have a good eye this Camaro is one of the newest models in fact I only have a few of these babies left before more of them arrives."
"Is this the only one you have in black?"
"Yes I believe so I don't think the next Camaro's that will arrive at my shop none of them are black."
"Then I want the black one how much?"
"You're a quick one already want to talk business I like that. This model is sixty thousand the payment will be five hundred fifty monthly" replied Kotetsu.
"That's a little too expensive can you give me a discount?" the Uchiha frowned at the price of his dream car.
"I'm sorry but we don't have any discounts and sixty thousand is the only price for this Camaro, however if you can't afford the prize I might give you a used model that we have in stock."
"I'm not interested in used cars" Sasuke was really determined to buy the black Camaro.
"If you don't have the money to buy this vehicle then it saddens me to say this but you can't have it I am sorry."
Sasuke knew this was going o happen buying a Camaro was expensive even if he had enough money to buy it, just like Sakura most of the money he has earned is from blackmailing people. He knew he could get his dream car at a cheaper prize he just needed to push the right buttons on the car dealer owner he was also a good negotiator. He had the necessary material to convince Kotetsu he took his wallet from his back pocket.
"I can't expect to buy a Camaro in a more economical prize maybe I should tell you a bit more of myself. Although I'm sixteen still in high school I have earned a good reputation of myself, I have this special job which is to gather information on people I can get any kind of information depending how much they are willing to pay me."
"A private detective….?" Kotetsu said.
"Something like that" he took a couple of pictures from his wallet they were big enough to see what they were about" you see I took these pictures and I was wondering if you know this lovely lady right here."
The spiky haired owner took the pictures and gasped recognizing the beautiful woman in the photo but that wasn't what it got his attention. The woman wasn't alone in the photos she was with another man who seemed to be older than her with long white haired, he was obviously the pervert Jiraiya. He started feeling angry but most of all jealous because the two people in the pictures were hugging and kissing, there was a picture where Jiraiya was fondling the woman's ass. He tightened his hold on the photos while Sasuke was grinning at the sight but he quickly erased it, his plan was working so far.
"Judging by your expression I guess you do…."
"She's my wife" Kotetsu wasn't happy because these pictures clearly tell that she was cheating on him with another man.
"She is I am sorry to hear that it's such a shame that I know this guy right here, trust me he's a big time pervert and without angering you he's probably nailing her as I speak."
"When did you take those pictures?" he was still upset.
"Three days ago, the point is your wife is cheating on you and that's not good. Look Kotetsu I want to help you I can give you all the information you need on this pervert so you can get even with him. Teach him a lesson he will never forget he won't get away with nailing your wife, but my services don't come for free you will have to pay me with something of strong value" he turned to the black Camaro.
Kotetsu already knew what he wanted it was so predictable but this business satisfies him the most. If he knows about the man is wife is cheating on him he will make sure he will never get close to her again. Right now he didn't care how much money Sasuke will give him for the vehicle, this situation was really personal to him and he was no longer clinging to his professionalism as a car dealer owner.
"How much….?"
"Half" the Uchiha gave a grin.
"Thirty thousand….fine sold."
They shake hands
" it's a pleasure doing business with you" he gave another grin.
(Time skip: fifteen minutes later)
The black Camaro left the car dealer with a very happy Sasuke was driving it he has bought his first car and the car of his dreams. He was truly clever buying such a car for half the original retail prize with the prize that he gave him all the information on the man who was cheating with Kotetsu's wife, he grinned it was a good idea to spy on Jiraiya to be able to get the information he was looking for. He was glad that he met the pervert back at the pizza restaurant where Sakura works right now he didn't wanted to be in the white haired man's shoes because he was going to be beaten up by an angry jealous husband. He was going to celebrate as he pushed the gas pedal increasing the speed he turned on the radio and the song fuel by Metallica was being played making him grinned, it was the perfect song. Now all he needed to do is get dressed and pick up his fuck girl at McDonalds so they can start their so called friendship, he was going to make sure to take a lead over Sakura to win the bet. He smiled looking at the city in his new car he has never felt so good and alive in a while, his life has gotten a lot better.
'Papa's got a brand new car….'

(Location: parking lot Tokyo mall downtown district)
Sakura parked her car in one of the many spaces of the lot and she was lucky due that that it was full. It was typical at this hour in the afternoon that the mall will be this jam packed because at this hour other students from other schools have ended their classes for the day. The two teens got off from the car closing the door and she locked it activating the alarm, they started walking out of the parking. The pink haired teen took a glance at Naruto who looked like an eager child on Christmas morning she had to rolled her eyes, he was very happy that he was hanging out with her. She really hoped he didn't annoy her like her did when they left school with the stunt of his bike or at least bothered her, at least she will have fun teasing him and humiliate him in front of her friends. As they walked through the parking lot she saw Ino's convertible Corvette the Yamanaka was being accompanied with Tenten and Temari she went to them with the whiskered blond following her. She gave a mental sigh knowing that they will be shocked when they find out that the dead lost of school is coming with them.
'Here goes nothing….'
"Sakura you made it!" Ino said.
"You know I will never miss this for the world."
"Are we ready for our shopping quest?" asked the eager Tenten.
"Hell yeah!"
Temari blinked seeing Naruto she was a little baffled by his appearance" excuse me can we help you?"
Tenten also looked baffled recognizing him" yeah are you lost?"
"Naruto….?" Ino was surprised to see him.
"Hey…." The blond gave his goofy grin.
"What's going on?" asked Temari.
Sakura chuckle nervously because of their reactions she already knew this was going to happened" guys today Naruto will be joining us for shopping."
The three girls stood with the same expressions as before they were baffled and shocked. They looked back at the blond, then at Sakura, then back at him, and finally back at her. They didn't know what to say or if they were sure if this was a good idea. Ino has heard about Naruto and she didn't paid attention to him but not because she didn't like him but because she never got the chance since she was always hanging out with Sakura, although she didn't know to give him a chance with being a prankster. Tenten felt the same way she just didn't understand him that she didn't bothered to speak to him, she did know he was immature. Temari heard all kinds of rumors concerning the whiskered teen and none were good, however she never let rumors change her opinion about people she thought of him as someone wasting his future with doing those pranks.
"You're kidding Sakura?" Temari was the first to reply.
"I'm not" she sweat dropped.
"Are you serious?" asked Tenten.
"Now come on everyone I'm sure Sakura has a good explanation isn't that right?" Ino looked at her.
The pink haired girl sighed" Naruto is my new friend and invited him to go shopping with us that's it."
"Since when….?" Tenten replied.
"I'm sorry" Naruto finally spoke making them looked at him" Sakura-chan was just trying to be nice and let me hang with you guys, I don't want to bother any of you so I will just be on my way then…."
The three girls felt really bad they didn't had any intentions of hurting his feelings but none of them said a word. They saw Sakura who gave them a disagreement look she didn't wanted this after all she needed the blond with them so she can enjoy her time in humiliating him. She took a glance at him he was obviously hurt although he was giving a fake smile, she could recognized a fake smile because she used to do the same when she was back at the orphanage. The fake smile was a defense mechanism to hide the pain it's like putting a shield to cover any kind of emotional pain you're experiencing.
"Sakura-chan I'm going back to your car to get my bike."
"Hold it!" she grabbed his hand making him stopped" first of all you can't get your bike without setting off the alarm and second I said you're coming with me and my friends shopping and that's what we're doing, that is if any of you have objections of him coming with us?" she gave them a warning look.
"Nope I don't have a problem" Tenten quickly replied.
"Fine by me" said Temari.
"Sure I guess you're welcome to join us Naruto" Ino said.
He gave his goofy grin" oh then I'm not bothering you guys."
"Let's go everyone I want to get something nice" replied Sakura.
(Scene change time skip)
For the next two hours Naruto have gotten tire and he has finally understood why some boys hated to go shopping with their girlfriends, even if none of them were his girlfriend. It was frustrating and he couldn't believe that none of the have gotten tire due to all of the shops they have visited, but somehow he felt he was the victim. He was struggling while carrying all the boxes from all of the clothes they have bought so far, unfortunately for him. To think they will have so much money to buy all of this he was following them wherever their next destination may be, he secretly they didn't buy any more clothing. The girls were all having fun as it expected from a couple of teenagers after leaving school and feeling like going to the mall, but it was a different story when it comes to Sakura. The pink haired girl has been keeping her eyes on their new guest since they started buying clothes sure she was having fun with her friends, but there was something else was secretly having fun.
She was enjoying watching the blond teen carrying all of the boxes expecting that he will drop all of them causing a scene, anything that was related to humiliation for him. She has come to amused herself and enjoyed anything negative that will happen to Naruto, after all he was now her prey. Once he took her offer in becoming her friend was the day he has marked himself to be her slave and she has promise herself to make him suffer before she officially breaks his heart in front of the entire school after two months. But in order for that to happen he had to become her boyfriend she was still working on that she was taking things slowly making him her friend before jumping to a relationship with the dead last. As much as she wanted to she couldn't rush things remembering the bet she has to make her fuck boy fall in love with her before making the next move. Patience was a virtue and that's what she needed in the end it will be worth it she was pretty confidence Sasuke wasn't going anywhere with his fuck girl, she could win this beat and hopefully do it in less than two months.
She kept her gaze at him' when the time comes you will regret agreeing to become my friend.'
"So what's next?" asked Temari.
"Well we have everything from the blouses, skirts, dresses and shoes" Ino replied.
"There's still one more piece of clothing that we need to buy" Sakura gave a grin turning to Naruto" and it's a good thing that we have a guy with us we can sure take his opinion to choose the perfect type of clothing."
"Oh so that's where we're going?" Tenten said and she couldn't help but giggle.
The Yamanaka smiled understanding what she was talking about" all right girls our next destination in our shopping quest is the lingerie store!"
"What?" Naruto was shocked trying not to drop the boxes.
"That's right Naruto you're about to enter the zone of any boys fantasy" Sakura gave a grin while the others girls giggled at her comment.
The whiskered teen stood in his place as a blush crossed his face imagining the girls modeling in underwear Sakura was right all along being selected as a judge for the type underwear they chose is any other boy's wet dream. He hoped he didn't get a nose bleed watching girls in their bras and panties was enough to make any boy get a nose bleed and a boner, this will definitely be a tough test for him. It couldn't be help if the girls needed a man opinion in the choosing of their underwear guess he will have to take that position and make sure he does the right thing, he needed to make a good judgment of what they were going to wear. He followed them heading to the lingerie store department praying to get a lot of strength for what he was about to endure.
Sakura was still staring at him with an evil glint in her eyes it was the first day he has become her friend and there was no way she will considered him friend material, the prize to pay was very high. The whiskered blond will have to went through some trials in order to gain some recognition from her she was going to test him how much he can take about everything. In truth she only saw him as an obstacle to overcome in order to win the bet and claim her prize, more money and a possible Camaro. She was filled with ambition to win it all this is what she needed to survive in life always staying strong and squash the weaklings like they were insignificant little insects, and Naruto was just another weak bug that she was going to enjoy squashing all in due time. She grinned mentally realizing that he was staring at her and she replied by giving her fake sweet smile and he replied back to her with his usual goofy grin, he had no idea of her intentions whatsoever.
She saw the lingerie store up ahead' time to test how much of a pervert the dead last can be….'
(Scene change)
Naruto was seated in the middle of the lingerie's store dressing room with a nervous expression on his face. He was here he was actually here of all places, he was in the one place where it was considered paradise to any man. It was also the place where man and boys his age will call it arousal heaven what kind of man would love to be in his shoes right about now, it was a stupid question. Any guy would love to see beautiful women in intimate underwear modeling it to have their personal opinion he felt like he would die at any moment. He decided to control himself with thinking healthy thoughts like a beautiful landscape filled with happy animals, green vegetation, an impressive large waterfall and naked women. He blushed trying to erased the last thought and went back to his concentration anything that will help him get his mind off women in underwear clothing, when the time comes he felt like he wasn't going to be ready. He imagined building an powerful force field around his asleep hormones to prevent them from going out of control when the girls come out ready to model their underwear of their choosing.
'Dear God I hope I can survive this without dying of a heart attack….'
"Naruto I hope you're ready because we're done dressing up!" Sakura's voice came from her dressing room.
"All right Sakura-chan go ahead I'm ready."
One of the doors of the rooms opened and the first girl that went to him was Tenten. The Chinese teen was wearing a blue underwear set the bra didn't had a strap on the shoulders area but on the back. It was a nice design holding perfectly her B cup breasts for the bottom area she wasn't wearing panties but a pair of blue mini shorts with the same design of the bra. The set fit well with the color while Naruto stood with wide eyes, he tried not to blush because she really looked attracted with the underwear she has chosen. The bun haired girl gave a complete turned around so that he gets to see how the underwear looks from the front and the back he blushed when he saw how noticeable her butt is because of the mini shorts.
"What do you think and I would appreciate an honest opinion?"
"I think it goes well with you Tenten but maybe you should find something to cover your buns with the same color as the underwear, that's what I think anyway."
She smiled looking at her exposed hair buns" hey you're right I did saw those covers in this color in another department store, thanks Naruto" she went back to her room feeling very satisfied.
He sighed' that's one down….'
"I'm coming out!" Temari's voice was heard from her changing room.
She opened her door and went straight towards her male judge. The transfer student from Egypt has chosen a black set with regular black bra with strap on the shoulders keeping contain her C cup breasts, black panties and she was also wearing a strap on the waist to support her long black stockings. Naruto was really impressed with the sight she was wearing an elegant and sexy lingerie set she looked attracted too. Temari made a turned around so that he noticed her choice of lingerie from the back he had to give a full of approval of what she was wearing.
"Please be honest this lingerie is from Victoria's secret so I should looked decent in it."
"You look attractive Temari it looks good on you, maybe I can make a small suggestion you can also have the same lingerie but white."
She smiled" white regular color I saw the same set in that color, I will give it a try thanks Naruto."
'That's two down' he saw the blond going back to her changing room.
"I'm ready!" Ino's voice was heard from her room.
Naruto's eyes widened seeing Ino leaving from the room with her choice of underwear. The Yamanaka was wearing a regular purple bra keeping contained her D cup breasts, with a string purple bikini style panty along with long purple stockings. He blushed when she turned showing her bottom at him it was a thong after all.
Ino stroked a pose" I know what you might say about the color but I can't help it, I love purple so much and I think it makes me look unique because other girls wear black and white underwear so what do you think?"
"It's…..sexy" was the whiskered teens replied.
She giggled" I know you're very lucky to see me like this but the one who will be even luckier is the boy I like" she thought of a certain boy from school she has recently met.
Ino didn't said another word as she went back to her changing room and by now Naruto looked like he was about to have a heart attack, after seeing three of the four girls in underwear his hormones were reacting. It seems that the invincible force field he put around them was weakening and it won't be long before they go out of control.
'That's three down come on Naruto get it together you can do this….'
"I'm finally ready!" came Sakura's voice which she didn't sound happy at all.
'Oh no I forgot about Sakura-chan!' he freaked out.
The pink haired teen finally left her room wearing her choice of underwear and that's when Naruto lost it. She was wearing a milky pink lingerie set a string pink bra showing some cleavage from her C cup breasts, a pink bikini style panty which was obviously a thong just like Ino's underwear. Finally she was wearing long white stockings. Naruto was in a state of shock his cerulean eyes were wide as saucers and his mouth was wide open staring at the pink haired beauty before him. No doubt about it Sakura was the most beautiful of them all it's like she was a pink haired angel who has claimed his heart. He felt himself blush his hormones raging and he had an effect on his pants after seeing the girl he has always like showing so much skin and wearing nothing but in her underwear. It got worst for him when she turned around showing him her firm round booty right now he was praying if there was really a God then please don't let him have a nose bleed.
'Holy shit Sakura-chan is so hot….'
"Well?" Sakura was waiting for his opinion.
"I…..it's…..I…I…" he was speechless.
'I know I look good but I think he's going overboard with his reaction' the pink haired girl sweat dropped.
"Naruto do I look good yes or no?"
"Yes….you looked very good Sakura-chan" he managed to say still in shock.
"I am talking about the underwear not my ass."
"I am talking about the underwear!" he replied blushing of course he thought both the underwear and the girl wearing it are both very good.
"What about the stockings I don't think they go well with the pink color?"
"I guess….maybe you should-"
"Remove them I will thanks Naruto" she cut him off before heading back to her room.
Naruto sighed in relief it was over, the torture session on his hormones was finally over. He was still blushing breathing hard while his entire face was covered in sweat of course he was like this after he judged Sakura's choice of lingerie. He knew he deserved a gold medal for not having a nose bleed after watching those pretty girls in their bras and panties, any other guy would have died from the blood loss on the spot but not him. At least the bad part was over things were going to calm down now little did he know that Sakura has just begun to test him, she wasn't done with him not by a long shot.
"All right girls let's change, buy and we head out again!" Sakura said from her room.
(Scene change time skip)
After three hours of non stop shopping the girls were finally ready to call it a quits, but first they were heading to the food court because they were hungry. They just couldn't leave the mall without eating some of the greatest junk food Japan has to offered, they still had enough money from their savings. But there was one small problem regarding Naruto the blond teen was really having a hard time carrying all he boxes from their shopping. After leaving the lingerie shop they went to a couple of stores more increasing the number of packages and boxes that he has to carry. There was just too many for him to continue carrying and it wouldn't be long before loses his balance and drops them however he knew Sakura won't be happy if he did so. So he decided to carry them without making them fall no matter what. They have reached the food court but the girls were keeping their attention on their new male friend, they felt sorry for him to be the one to carry all of the stuff they have bought.
"Sakura I really think he needs help" Ino was the first to speak for everyone she was worried for Naruto.
The pink haired girl waved her hand" I'm sure Naruto can handle this on his own he doesn't need help right?" she smiled at him and to play with his pride she winked at him.
"Sure thing Sakura-chan I have no problem carrying all of this" replied the whiskered blond trying to regain his balance.
"You know it will be much safer if I at least carry my things" Temari said.
"Yeah I feel the same way too I will carry my things" Tenten followed.
"It's okay you guys" Naruto said trying to sound very honest but in truth he really needs the help.
"I insist you will feel a lot better if I take some weight from you" replied the blond girl from Egypt.
Sakura sighed" what happened to generous men they are the ones who supposed to carry the ladies belongings?"
"Sometimes it's better to be independent than relying on others" said Ino.
"Very true" she replied with a smirk.
"I will take my things too" said the Yamanaka.
"Naruto you keep on holding my things" the pink haired teen wasn't going to be carrying her things since she has her slave and pawn to do it for her.
"Sure thing Sakura-chan…."
The three girls took all of the clothing, shoes and other things they bought from the nervous blond. Naruto felt so relief that they have taken a lot weight from him he didn't know how long he could have hold on to the bags and boxes. They went to one of the tables of the crowded food court they got seated looking around to the different places where they sell fast food.
"Time o set out and buy the food" Ino said.
"I have a better idea" replied Sakura" why don't we let our new friend Naruto buy the food for us?"
"You really want him to go to all those places on his own?" asked Temari.
"Why not I'm sure he won't argue right Naruto" she smiled sweetly at him.
"Sure I don't have a problem I'll be happy to."
"Okay I guess then, Naruto I would like a whopper with French fries and soda" replied the Yamanaka.
"I would like some Chinese low mei to be exact" Tenten said.
"Lobser" said Temari.
"I would like a chicken salad from Wendy's" replied Sakura.
"All right…."
They give him the money to properly buy their foods while Ino looked at her best friend if she was going to give him her money.
"What about you Sakura?"
"Naruto you can buy me the food with your money?" she smiled so affectionate at him making the whiskered blond blush.
"No problem Sakura-chan I have money."
(Time skip: twenty minutes later)
Naruto returned to the girl's table with a handful of different varieties of food. He was having trouble trying to balance the large board with the many food in addition that it was heavy he was trying hard not to trip. It was very tempting for Sakura to try and make him trip spilling everything but she was hungry as well as her friends she didn't wanted to ruin the food not to mention she will be wasting the money the dishes were invested on. He kindly gave the plates to according to their respective owners they smiled he was being a real gentlemen. They started eating before Sakura opened up her Wendy's salad and raised an eyebrow.
"Naruto I asked for a chicken salad not a bacon salad."
"Sorry Sakura-chan I will immediately have it change!" he took the salad leaving the table.
"So Sakura start talking, why are you hanging out with Naruto?" Ino was really curious to find out ever since they arrived at the mall.
"Not this again I said that he has become my friend…."
"But why him he's supposed to be the dead last of Hokage high?" Tenten replied.
"Well he's not as dead last as he looks he gave us a good opinion at the lingerie store and he's quite cooperative" said Temari.
"I guess it's true what they say about looks can be deceiving" said the Yamanaka.
"That's the reason I wanted him as my friend" replied the pink haired girl obviously lying" he fools everyone that he's a loser an idiot but he's a complete different person outside of school."
Tenten and Temari nodded resuming their meal while ino was staring at her. She could somehow sensed that she wasn't telling her everything she has come to know her so well, there was a probably a hidden motive for her to picked the whiskered teen as her friend. She has already witnessed how she has been treating him more like a slave than a friend while Naruto was oblivious to her actions. There was another reason she could feel it for her best friend to take her time in making him her friend she has always seen how she used to ignored the blond at school. Sakura avoided him like a bad habit or a deadly disease she was always keeping her distance from the prankster, so why the big change of heart in her all of the sudden.
'What are you hiding Sakura?'
Naruto returned to the table with the right salad" here you go Sakura-chan I got it right this time."
"Thanks" she started eating her favorite salad from her favorite restaurant.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Temari said.
"Nah it's okay I already…."
"You sure?" Tenten followed.
"I mean it I ate during lunch I'm still full" Naruto gave his goofy grin.
As Sakura eat up her salad she took glance at the smiling blond' I admit he can be quite useful sometimes, and he's easy to manipulate it's like he's under my command. I wonder maybe the dead last feels something for me something more than a friendship, if I guess right I will be one step closer to winning the bet….'
(Scene change)
(Location: McDonald's downtown district)
Sasuke arrived on time at the fast food restaurant he decided to park his new car on the drive way, he was ready to hang out with Hinata. He was wearing a black leather jacket with jeans and black army boots this will be the beginning of trying to win her over before he gets his way with her and dumps her like a sack of rotten potatoes. Walking to the front of the restaurant he spotted her not too far from the entrance and for a moment he stopped walking, he was looking at her with wide eyes. The pale eyed teen was wearing a long sleeve blouse with a jean skirt below her knees and brown sandals she was being her usual timid insecure self. He admitted that she looked good with her choice of clothing and she was actually attractive, it made him grin at the sight.
Hinata felt like she had butterflies in her stomach she has never been so nervous in her entire life. Her reaction was understandable this was the first time she was going out with a friend, much less a boy. She blushed slightly she wasn't just going to hang out with any boy but with the most popular boy in Hokage high and attractive too, she thought she couldn't go through with it. She will feel terrible if she faints in the middle of their get together she needed to believe in herself and gather some courage to make sure this goes well. Although she was wondering why he chose to become her friend remembering his status of popularity he could have any girl he wants and he was now taking his time to spend it with her. She finally saw Sasuke heading her way and she blushed at what he was wearing, he really looked very handsome and a badass.
"You're…..h….here" she stuttered nervously.
"Of course I will be here I told you I will be here at this hour…."
"I….I guess I thought you weren't going to show up."
"I am here, ready to go?"
She nodded" I-"
"I'm afraid she can't join you."
Sasuke turned around hearing the voice coming from behind him. He was looking at a young man probably a few years older than him with long dark hair tied in a pony tail, the same pale eyes as Hinata. He was wearing a dark green polo with long black pants and black shoes his eyes were only on the Uchiha showing a lot of anger and hatred towards him. The raven haired teen stood looking at but in his mind he was very much upset with this small development he wasn't expecting to see him, it seems his plans to hang out with the pale eyed beauty will be put on hold for now. Hinata looked at him and sighed knowing what this meant she won't be able to spend time with Sasuke, her plans have been canceled. But she was feeling quite scared hoping that she doesn't get in any trouble with her father. The two boys were staring at each other without saying a word it's like they were having a staring contest Sasuke was staring at him upset for butting out in things that don't concerned him and the pale eyed man because he hated his guts a lot.
'He has to show up now damn it, my luck sucks….'
"Nejini-san" Hinata said looking at her cousin.
"Hinata-sama I came to get you, Hiashi-sama has summoned you and I believe you left the house without saying a word to him."
She lowered her head in shame" I'm sorry I got so excited about today that I completely forgot to tell him I was leaving…."
"You have a lot explaining to do with Hiashi-sama let's go."
"I….all right" Hinata felt terrible she was really looking forward to hang out with the Uchiha.
"Now hold it I think she has a right to say in the matter, she can decide if she wants to leave with you or with me" Sasuke said glaring at Neji.
"She's well aware that she did wrong therefore she needs to speak with her father, she will not go with you tonight" he glared back at him.
"I'm sorry Sasuke…."
"Hinata….you don't have to listen to him."
"I must I don't want to anger father thanks for inviting me tonight, I will see you tomorrow at school."
"Get in the car Hinata-sama."
She nodded taking one last look at Sasuke she walked out heading to Neji's car which it was a black Mercedes Benz. As soon as she left sparks started flying as the staring contest between the two teens have turned into a glaring contest a lot anger was emitting from both of them. Sasuke was pissed because of his interference it was none of his business if he was hanging out with his cousin while Neji was pissed simply because he was with her, he has never like the Uchiha not in the least.
"I don't know what's your problem?"
"My problem is with you Uchiha ever since you offered Hinata-sama your friendship it's not safe for her to be around you."
"You make it sound as if she was a defenseless little baby she's sixteen I think she can take care of herself."
"From scum like you I will have to disagree….."
Sasuke glared at him tightening his fists" you're really pushing it Hyuga."
"Wanting Hinata-sama's friendship that's the last thing you want…."
"We were just going to hang out as friends you don't have to stick your ass where it doesn't belong."
"Your lies only pissed me off even more you think I don't know what you're planning?" Neji's pale eyes glared hard at his onyx eyes" you can't fool me Uchiha I know what you want every student in Hokage high knows all about you, you're always jumping from one girl to another and then you discard them like they were garbage and now you have chosen to do the same thing with Hinata-sama…."
Neji was still glaring at him feeling like punching him" but that's not going to happen I won't let you, I have no idea why your sudden interest in her and I don't care. Listen well Uchiha I'm only going to say this once…."
He left the pissed off Sasuke heading to his car before he gave him a murderous glare" stay away from Hinata-sama…..or else."
Neji got into his car while Hinata was feeling ashamed that she didn't warned her father that she was leaving and that she couldn't spend time with Sasuke. The Mercedes Benz left the fast food restaurant while the Uchiha was still feeling pissed about his interference he knew that his chances to get to the Hyuga teen were slim and he still tried hard to make it work. Of course he knew that there was only one person to blame for this unfortunate event. He ran a hand through his raven hair before he left heading back to his car, it wasn't all bad at least he still had his dream car the Camaro. He put up some music to help him calm down and erased his anger he was listening to higher by Creed.
'This has turned out to be a pain in the ass, Sakura you really are a bitch….'

(Location: residence urban district east region)
Sakura's Mustang arrived at a small house in a street where there other small houses but there also bigger ones throughout the street. She took a glance at the house next to her it was just your average house it didn't looked like it belonged in the lower class so maybe Naruto had some money going on to keep it. It seems the whiskered blond was going to continued surprising her but her opinion of him remains, and perhaps he wasn't so annoying after all. Her friends including Ino thinks he's a good guy and a nice candidate to be a friend, they were even unhappy when he left with her after their shopping spree at the mall. She has decided since she was the one that brought him to the mall she will bring him to his home too, it was part of her act of being his friend. Naruto was still smiling because of the great time he has spent today it was truly the best day of his life over all. He first became Sakura's friend, then he hangs out with her friends like he was part of the group and then he got the chance to see them in underwear today couldn't just get any better.
Looking at the pink haired teen he was grateful that he was given the chance to become her friend and established a bond with her. He will cherish and treasure all the moments he will share with her it was a good start to form a strong friendship before he gets the chance to become more than her friend, thinking about that made him blush a little. She looked at him with that same sweet smile that he has come to love although he wants to see another smile from her that he loves, maybe he will see it again. He was a bit disappointed because he had to go and get some sleep for school tomorrow but he cheered up knowing that he will Sakura again.
"Well I'm off that's my home."
"Naruto?"
"Hmm….?"
"Can I ask you a question it's a little personal?" she smiled at him in a affectionate matter.
"Sure go ahead Sakura-chan" he smiled back at her.
"Do you like me?"
"Huh what?" he was really taken by surprise by the question.
Sakura moved on from the driver seat getting closer to him still giving that affectionate smile" do you have a crush on me Naruto?"
This time he wasn't taken in surprise he only blushed from the embarrassment he felt his heart beating so fast he couldn't believe what he just heard. Just today he becomes her friend and now she has asked him the question if he likes her more than a friend. No he wasn't ready to tell her his answer yet it was too soon he knew he will have to tell her eventually when the time comes, but when he's ready. For now having her friendship will be enough to make him the happiest person alive.
Sakura although she was smiling she was grinning in her mind seeing his expression and noticing his blushing she could clearly tell that he has a crush on her, she was really amused. It should be typical that the dead last of Hokage high likes her like 90% of the boy's population from the school this has make her into a happy girl indeed. Now she knew that her chances in winning the bet have increased a lot, the odds were in her favor. It's like she didn't had to try to win because she like she has already won it made her feel sorry for her competition even more.
Naruto gulped at her question" Sakura-chan I…."
"It's all right you don't have to tell me now I can wait for your answer."
"Thanks well I have to go."
"Don't forget your bike."
"Right!"
She pulled the small lever beneath her seat to open the trunk of her car and the whiskered teen carefully took his bike, he gently closed the trunk making sure it has closed shut.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan I made sure that I didn't hit the inside or the paint job."
"It better not or I will have to kill you" she smiled sweetly at him.
He chuckle nervously "I'll see you tomorrow at school then."
"Right see you tomorrow."
He blushed when she blew him a kiss as he went to the front door of his house he waved her goodbye as she did the same thing. Sakura waited for him to entered the house before she took off in her car she grinned at the fact that the blond has a crush on her.
'This is too easy it's laughable, Sasuke-kun you're going to lose badly….'
(Scene change time skip evening)
(Location: Haruno residence urban district northern region)
Sasuke was seated on the couch of the living room watching the movie Iron Man. So far he was enjoying it a lot but he still couldn't get the events that took place today it made him so angry. He was still upset with what happened with Neji the bastard have really made it impossible for him to get close to Hinata it was his fault along with her over protective father who wasn't letting her breathe. He knew he was in such a big disadvantage against Sakura as long as Neji was here he had no chance in getting close to his cousin, his target in the bet. Beating the crap of the male Hyuga was very tempting but if he goes through with that Hinata will definitely feared him even hate him, that will make things worse and complicated. He admitted he was caught between a rock and a hard place he couldn't touch Neji and he couldn't talk his way out to spend time with the pale eyed girl, it was pretty much impossible to get closer to her without having her cousin interfering like he did today. He finally got his mind off his problem and ate some pop corn resuming enjoying the movie.
'I don't care what anyone says Robert Downey Jr. is the best actor to play Tony Stark.'
His ears reacted hearing the front door of the house being opened he knew it couldn't be Mrs. Haruni because she was working late again. Then it was obviously the second choice which it was her daughter and he was right, he heart the door closed. The pink haired teen arrived at the living hall walking to him with a grin on her face, the grin reflected amusement. He already had a feeling what she was going to tell him two things to be exact the first will definitely be about his new car which it was parked on the front of the house. The second will probably be her progress with the dead last as part of the bet he hoped she had some bad news that it was hard to win him over.
"Hey Sasuke-kun….?" She replied sweetly.
"Hn…."
Sakura frowned at his response but she ignored it" I see that you have finally bought the Camaro you always wanted."
"Hn…."
She growled hearing the same response again" I told you to never do that because it pisses me off every time you do."
"Hn…."
"Whatever" she was already pissed" I've been wondering how well that Camaro would look in pink?"
Sasuke's left eye twitched in annoyance" why the hell would you think that?"
"Because that's the color I'm going to paint it when I take it from you" she grinned sweetly.
The Uchiha knew what she was talking about" go away…."
"What's wrong?"
"Leave…."
"You don't sound happy" she pretended to be worried for him.
"I'm not now go, I'm not in the mood to put up with your bullshit."
"Don't be mean Sasuke-kun don't you want to know how was my day with the dead last?" she replied in a very sweet one giving a very innocent expression.
"I don't feel like knowing now leave…."
"Too bad but I'm still going to tell you anyway, my day with him was splendid exactly as I thought it will be. I'm impressed that he's not as stupid as he looks he's a bit passable but he's still a loser, my friends think he's a good person even Ino they have approved of him as friend material but not me at least not yet…."
The Uchiha was trying to ignore her jus focusing on watching the movie when Sakura got seated next to him taking some pop corn from his bowl which annoyed him. She ate it enjoying the buttery taste licking her lips she knew he was annoyed that was the main reason she was doing it, before she tells him the best part.
"Do you want to know what I like about my day with the dead last?"
"Hn…."
She smiled in return instead of getting pissed" I just found out that he has a crush on me."
"What?" Sasuke was shocked his eyes were wide.
She chuckle taking more pop corn" that's right he likes me Uzumaki Naruto likes me, he didn't told me but I could tell quite well…."
The raven haired teen stood quiet because he was too upset to say a word at all, now his chances of winning the bet has been cut in half. He was not expecting to find out that Naruto will like Sakura turning things from bad to worse, now he knew why she was so amused she was truly enjoying this moment.
He glared" you're so full of it."
"I'm not you should have seen the look on that losers face. The way every time he looked at me, so dreamily and blushing it's the same expression that every single boy at school gives me whenever they passed me by" she gave a slight laugh.
'Damn it all to hell, first Neji and now this!' Sasuke growled mentally his day couldn't get any worst.
"But enough about me what about you Sasuke-kun how was your day in winning over Hinata?" Sakura gave another sweet smile knowing the results already.
"Leave now…."
"Come on don't be like that and tell me, I told you the results of my day with the dead last you should do the same too."
"I don't want to talk about it but I'm sure you already know how it went" he frowned at her.
"I'm not psychic Sasuke-kun I don't read minds."
"You already know why…."
"Nope I really don't" she was still pretending like she didn't have a clue.
The raven haired teen finally reached his limit getting up from the coach glaring at her" drop the bullshit you do know it was the main reason why you chose Hinata to be my fuck girl in the first place, it's because of that asshole Neji!"
"I managed to talk to her and succeeded in convincing her to hang out with me, then when I went to pick her up at the McDonalds a few blocks away from school he showed up. Just like that he ordered her to get in his car and she obeyed, then he gave me the stupid warning to stay away from her along with some other crap I don't know I was too pissed to listen to him. I really wanted to punch his face so badly but I didn't want to cause a scene at the place, and I didn't want Hinata to think otherwise of me…."
Sakura sighed putting a hand on his shoulder" looks like you're in a tight pinch Sasuke-kun."
"You should know it was your plan from the beginning, to turn my chances in winning the bet to a mere ten percent."
"More like a five percent to me knowing how strict Neji is he's not going to let you get ten feet close to Hinata, he'll be watching over her even more the entire day from now on because of you."
She smiled taking more pop corn from his bowl" it seems the only thing you can do is to watch helplessly as I win this bet."
"You sure have gotten cockier…."
"Of course I have every right to be let's see, the dead last likes me the next day I can simply ask him to be my boyfriend then I ask him the three words let's have sex and finally he has fallen. The point is I can crush his heart any time if I want to I can win this bet in less than two months, you should blame yourself for putting such a long time limit but you were the one that wanted to make the bet more interesting and entertaining."
"Even if he likes you, you should take things slow rushing in will lead you to make irrational and reckless decisions."
"I'm well aware that's why I'm going to be patient and take my time with the loser, there's no point in rushing in because I know you don't stand a chance in winning over Hinata. You won't be able to get close to her much less getting into her pants. As for the dead last he's officially my slave my little toy, I already have him wrapped up in my little finger he's very obedient to me like a good dog serves his master" she gave a wicked grin.
Sasuke chuckle in amusement" it's true I may be in a tight pinch, in a disadvantage against you but that doesn't mean it's going to stay this way. I'm not going to watch helplessly as you continue to advance like you claim I'm not going to quit, I will find a way to get to her…."
The pink haired girl smiled eating her last piece of pop corn" that's great Sasuke-kun believe it or not that's how I want things to be. I don't want you to quit I want to win this bet and defeat my competition fair and square. But I assure you that I will give you a very humiliating defeat that you won't be able to sleep your nights because of it."
"Your words may have affected all of your opponents crushing their spirits forever but it won't affect me, just continue to enjoy your pre victory I will be the one celebrating the real victory" he looked at her with a grin.
She smiled finally getting up walking out and heading upstairs turning back to him" then I guess the only thing left to say is may the best man or woman win" she finally left going upstairs.
The Uchiha chuckle getting back to watch the movie' she's as cocky as usual but I will show her, I will find a way to turn this whole game around her and this time the dies will be rolling in my favor. She will not be expecting when I win the bet by a long shot….'
"I was really cocky and confident that I was going to win the bet, I only saw Sasuke-kun losing because of his low chances. My chances were high they were in my favor like fate was at my side, I was destined to win in the cruel game of life. I am destined to win the bet and the key to my victory lies in the hands of Uzumaki Naruto, he will make sure I will win I have seen his loyalty towards me. Loyalty which I didn't understand why but I didnt cared it never crossed my head…."
