The hollow bottle spun with a sudden velocity in several consecutive circles before gradually halting, the lip of the glass pointing directly at Sasori. It was Deidara's turn to challenge someone to a rousing question of Truth or Dare, so when the bottle landed on Sasori, he thanked Jashin, rubbing his hands together deviously.

"Sasori, truth or dare, my man?" The mischievous blonde countered.

In his usual monotone voice, the red head responded with "Dare," looking Deidara right in the eyes.

I myself was surprised with how well the game was going. Of course it was Tobi's idea to play such a childish game but the more grown up members of the Akatsuki managed to make the game a bit more "age appropriate" for themselves. And of course that meant who ever completed the most risky dare, would be crowned daredevil, thus winning the game. Even Itachi joined but obviously Kakuzu and Pein had to be party poopers and pass on the fun. Kakuzu was without a doubt probably in his bedroom recounting his bounties and Pein-sama was most likely in his office.

"I dare you to admit, on video, that my art is far more exquisite than yours," challenged Deidara, a triumphant smirk written all over his face.

Deidara got his phone out, and much to his dismay, Sasori "admitted" Deidara's concept of art was much better than his own and after a few agonizing minutes of Deidara replaying the video the game was resumed.

Sasori spun the bottle, fairly quickly I may add, and after several seconds the bottle abruptly stopped facing you. Knowing Sasori, he'd never dare you to do something humiliating or ask you something that you'd be shamed for answering truthfully but when asked the question 'truth or dare', you responded with dare, taking your chances with whatever the ventriloquist had in store for you; winning was such a euphoric feeling for you and the craving of victory took over your entire being.

"I dare you to allow me the opportunity to transform you into one of my own works of art," replied Sasori in his usual seductive tone. It was obvious that he was discreetly asking if you could be turned into one of his own puppets, a space on his shelf to join with his other "prized possessions".

"That's not fair!" You retaliated, looking at everyone else gathered. They all 'tchd' at Sasori for his brutal dare, and you got your own way.

"I've got a doable dare for ya, {Name}," replied Hidan with a smug smirk playing at his lips while he friendly wrapped his arm around your shoulder.

"W-what's that Hidan," you suspiciously asked, nervous about what he had in mind.

"I dare you to go into Leader's office kiss him full on the lips only thirty seconds or so, then come back and act like nothing ever happened," he recited his game plan, but all the other guys scoffed at the idea.

"Do you wanna get her killed?" Face palmed Itachi.

"Just do it," pushed Hidan, nudging you to get up.

You were blushing furiously already but something told you that doing Hidan's dare would prove you more brave than sacrificing yourself to Sasori for his eternal art. Hyped on adrenaline, you rose from your spot on the floor, making your way to Leader's office which was next door. The guys all exchanged shocked and nervous glances, afraid for you. Hidan on the other hand smirked, for he had a feeling for how this was going to end.

You sucked in a deep breath before knocking three times on the door. Almost instantly you heard Pein's tempting, husky voice granting you permission to enter.

Your leader sat at his desk, arms crossed, most likely annoyed. Pein knew you were in his office because of some stupid dare, but he had no idea what was in store for him.

With confidence you strode all the way over to his desk, Pein eyeing you suspiciously while raising an eyebrow at how straightforward you were being. Butterflies welled up in your stomach and your nerves made you feel on edge, but a dare is a dare, even if there's a fair chance of getting kicked out of the Akatsuki for following through with it.

You latched onto the collar of his Akatsuki cloak, forcefully pulling his face closer to yours. You softly pressed your lips to his, all tenseness leaving your muscles. Suddenly, Pein pulled back harshly, eyebrows furrowed; but Hidan said no talking, just kiss leader and go.

Pein's rinnegan burned a hole through your soul, a glare so deep it penetrated your core. You inwardly cringed at his gaze, suddenly a bit scared. But you needed to complete this dare successfully; you need to win. Hidan has been kicking you down for far too long, you needed to prove him wrong at least just this once.

"{Name}, what the hell are you doing?" His voice rang in your ears, seeming to bounce off the walls.

You felt desperate and your veins were now pumping pure adrenaline instead of blood. You leapt over the table, landing on Leader's lap; you ran your fingers through his bright orange spikes, pulling his face closer to yours. Although this time, Pein was the one who leaned in. He pressed his lips to yours and his lip piercings pricked your own. You wrapped your legs around his torso, his hand meeting your waist causing goosebumps to raise at his cold touch. Pein licked at your bottom lip, tasting the iron in the blood he had drawn.

As soon as you pulled away, an anxious clapping sound filled the room. You and Pein directed your attention to the door, where the remaining Akatsuki members stood, applauding your bravery.

"You win, {Name}," confirmed Hidan, in half shock half defeat.

Pein abruptly freed you from his grip, dropping you on your bum. His expression was free from anger, but still held a tang of annoyance.

"Never again, {Name}," he warned, before shooing everybody out of his office. Although nobody ever caught the blush, the small very slight tinge of pink, dust his cheeks.
