Debate Team (sasunaru/narusasu)

|| Chapter Thirteen ||

Everybody was currently in a gigantic circle in the middle of the room. They somehow dragged Sasuke and Neji in. After tons of begging, they had surrendered. They didn't have anything better to do anyway.

"Do you guys even know what to play?" Neji asked, looking uninterested.

"I know what we could play!" Sakura spoke up. "It doesn't really have a name but basically one of us is blindfolded and has to find the rest of us. We need to attempt to stay silent so the blindfolded individual won't discover us. Everyone will be walking around the room."

"How would we even win?" Kiba inquired. Everybody was really uninterested. It is amusing to troll one another but if there was no real way to win, why bother?

"I know a game!" Naruto contributed, everyone now looking towards the hyperactive blond to see what his sudden upheaval was about. "Essentially, there are two teams. We will put a row of pillows in the middle of the room then we have to attempt to hit each other with them by tossing them to the opposite team. Like dodgeball however with pillows. In the event that one hits you, you're out. The last group standing wins!" He clarified.

"Great idea!" Lee exclaimed, he adored any type of activity that included moving around.

"We don't have enough pillows though," Shikamaru said, making everyone sigh and slump in realization. "I know how we can get some though." He continued, everyone looked back up at him, waiting for an explanation. "They presumably have some extra pillows down in one of the storage closets down on the primary floor. We can send you four of us to go. One will be the lookout, the other can occupy any grown-up that might be nearby and the last two will get the pillows."

"Great idea! We can always count on you Shika!" Naruto exclaimed, patting Shikamaru's shoulder. "Anyway, who will be the four people to go?"

"I was thinking that Sakura could distract, hence her great acting skills. Neji can be lookout because he's attentive while Sasuke and Naruto grab the pillows?" Shikamaru explained, examining everyone's faces to see if they agreed.

"Why can't me and Sasuke grab the pillows instead of Naruto?" Ino pouted, she wanted some alone time with her crush. She wouldn't lose to Sakura.

"Not a chance!" Sakura yelled, her eyebrows twitching.

"Kiba and I can just grab the pillows." Naruto sighed, he had enough of the two fighting over the annoying bastard. What did they see in him anyway? Looks? Money? Not his personality, without a doubt.

Kiba whined. "I don't feel like it!"

"It's fine. I'll do it. Besides, you two clowns will end up doing something stupid if I'm not there." Sasuke grunted, standing up.

"Okay, it's a plan." Kiba grinned and everyone rolled their eyes at his laziness.

He grabbed Sakura, Neji, Sasuke, and Naruto and pushed them through the entryway. "Don't come back without the pillows!" He slammed the door shut on their faces.

Naruto scoffed. "That lazy mutt!"

Sasuke snorted. "I thought you didn't like when people called him that."

Naruto crossed his arms and turned away. "I'm an exception..."

"C'mon let's go." Neji interrupted their conversation.

They strolled towards the elevator and got in. Naruto took hold of the railings that were in the lift, his palms developing sweat, drawing the attention of Sasuke. He saw, raising an eyebrow at the antsy blond.
