It was supposed to be an innocent pool game. That was all. Fish out of Water. It was summer, and they were bored, there were no missions, and they had a pretty lake right in front of them that no one was using so what the heck, let's all play Fish out of Water!

At least, that was what Naruto said, that stupid, bumbling idiot.

But somehow, everyone listens to him because he's freaking Naruto, and somehow people just listen to whatever comes out of his mouth. So in a flash, Konoha 11 (plus me) was all gathered around a huge lake in trunks and bikinis and we're ready to plunge in and play a kiddie game.

Simple game, simple rules. You could have your eyes open in the water but not out of the water. There was one searcher, and that searcher had to catch swimmers who had their heads out of the water to breathe. Then the searcher had to call out 'Fishy out of Water!' if they suspected that someone was out of the water. The swimmer caught would be the next searcher. Sounded simple enough. Heck, if I could summon gigantic snakes and grow freaky wings out of my back, then I could surely win a stupid kiddie game.

Ino volunteered to be first searcher, and I should've suspected something right away. Right before the game, she and that little pink-headed mischief maker were whispering away and giggling in the shade, glancing at me as I gave them my scariest Uchiha-patented glare, at which they laughed.

Dammit.

As I prepared to plunge in the pool, waiting for Naruto's mark, I should've guessed something was seriously wrong when Sakura walked up to a spot right beside me, giving me a small smirk as she tucked her hair behind her ear. I should've heard the warning signals right away. But nooooooo, she had to be wearing a stupid bikini, showing off her long, creamy legs and her lithe body. And so the part of my brain that should have been warning me was muffled out by the sound of 'SAKURA SAKURA SAKURA SAKURA' wailing through my brain.

That green-eyed minx.

I miss Naruto's mark (curse her!), meaning I dive into the lake half a second later than everyone else. Dammit.

I swim, careful not to exert too much effort, and trying to conserve my breath. I close my eyes and concentrate on making sure the breath I took lasts as long as possible.

Then I feel it.

Her small, delicate hands land on my shoulders, slowly tracing small delicate patterns on my skin. Her thumb circles around my shoulders lazily, as if she had not a care in the world, which she probably didn't.

My eyes fly open in shock, and my breath escapes out of my mouth in a hurry, bubbles rising to the surface, leaving me choking on lake water. In a panic, I kick upwards desperately, my head breaking the surface as I take in a deep breath of air.

"Fishy out of water!"

I whip my head around in surprise to see Ino, her mouth pulled into a wide smirk in triumph. Sakura's head breaks the surface, and she says, "So Sasuke-kun's searcher now, right?" her face in an innocent smile.

"Sasuke! What the heck!" Naruto's head peeks out of the water, his face in an evident frown. "That was what, twenty seconds? That's pathetic!"

I feel a growl at the back of my throat as Kiba decides to make an appearance, Akamaru not far behind him. "Woah, don't tell me the great Sasuke Uchiha can't hold his breath for more than 20 seconds now, can he?" he snickers as his dog gives an approving bark at his words.

All this while Sakura is smiling, her green eyes shining as if she has nothing to do with it. I send her a piercing glare, her head cocked to the side in a questioning stare.

Oh, she's gonna get it.

Once everyone's heads are out of the water, Naruto yells once again, and we all immerse ourselves in the water once again. I keep my eyes wide open, looking out for anyone in the vicinity who could rise out of the water at any moment.

And of course, I feel it again.

Her hands flit across my back, then trail down to my arms, tracing the contours of my muscles as I tense in surprise. I whip around, but she's already gone.

And suddenly her arms are around my stomach and her chest is pressed against my back. I feel her cheek on the nape of my neck, and her hair tickles me and I instinctively take a deep breath, inhaling water instead of air.

Her accursed arms release me and I head for the surface, forgetting about her completely as I choke and cough once I'm out of the water. Oh, I hate her. I bloody hate her, the tease. She's doing this on purpose. She planned this with Ino all along, didn't she?

I dive back in the water, a newfound determination in my eyes. She's gonna get it. She's so gonna get it. She's–

I see her. Right in front of me.

I widen my eyes in shock. A smile graces her lips as the corner of her mouth curves slightly upward in a knowing way. Her green eyes are twinkling with mischief, her short pink hair flowing around her carelessly. Before I can react, she presses flush against me and places her head next to mine so my cheek can feel hers.

Then in a slow, teasing manner, she licks my earlobe.

I break.

I grab her waist, pulling her closer against me. She lets out a small sound in surprise. My other hand is splayed at the top of her back as her hands land on my shoulders. My legs kick, and she makes another small sound as I kick them both towards the surface.

As our heads emerge out of the water, she's gasping. She looks at me, her green eyes clouded with confusion. One hand still at her waist, I pull her head closer to mine so our foreheads are almost touching.

"Fishy out of water." I whisper softly.

Then I crush my lips to hers as she squeaks in surprise. She responds, moving her mouth to mine as her hands move from my shoulders to my head, intertwining her fingers with my raven black hair.

One by one, Konoha 11 break the surface, most of them confused as to why their searcher was no longer searching. I hear Ino make a small squeal of delight as Lee wails in agony. Neji lifts an eyebrow and Tenten gives a small smirk of victory, as they knew this was going to happen all along. Hinata sports a blush while Kiba groans in exasperation. Shino watches uninterestedly and Choji and Shikamaru shake their heads.

Naruto, however, is the one who screams.

"GUYS! GET A ROOM! I'M GONNA BE SCARRED FOR LIFE, DAMMIT!"

a/n: Yes, Fish out of Water is a real swimming game, but I've never played it - I saw it on Wikipedia. Keep the reviews coming please!
