It's time for a little…Payback
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello everyone. I got this inspiration from listening to the song "Get Naked" by Britney Spears. Now before you turn your nose up to this song because it's by Britney, the story goes along perfectly with the song. However, in order to get the full effect of the story you NEED to listen to the song. Look it up on the Internet or something, but I would definitely recommend listening the song when the time is right. It will make everything perfectly clear; trust me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and I do not own "Get Naked" by Britney Spears.
NOTE: THIS IS A RE-WRITE. 4/11/08
"Please, Sasuke, I'm not asking if you're in love with me, and I'm not asking for a commitment, all I'm asking is if you have any feelings for me at all. It doesn't have to be love just yet." Sakura pleaded with her love interest of 8 years.
A part of Sakura couldn't believe she was currently in this position. The day that he had left her eight years ago, she swore that she was going to change and become stronger; she was no longer going to be a burden. But, he had come back into her life after finally killing Itachi, and she had tried to make it look like she didn't give a shit either way, but she couldn't bring herself to stop begging him. It was a bit embarrassing, really. She must have seemed so desperate, but she kept telling herself that she was just determined. 'Yeah right.'
Tired of seeming so desperate, she also swore to herself that this was going to be that last time she expressed her love to him. She was now a very attractive 20-year-old woman. She was no longer a 12-year-old love-obsessed young girl.
This was the last chance he was going to get.
She held her breath knowing what he was going to say. And sure enough,
"You're annoying." He said without turning around. Sasuke then sighed and continued walking down the road heading for the Uchiha compound.
Sakura closed her eyes fully expecting the tears to come. Only one tear however, spilled over and ran down her smooth skin, and it was not due to sadness – it was disappointment. She was disappointed in herself for holding on the hope that he would one-day change his mind.
Something within her snapped when he said that. She had heard that stupid saying too many times. She was tired of him rejecting her. On a more positive note, she realized that this time, the rejection didn't hurt as much as the other times.
"I've had enough," she whispered to no one in particular. 'I've cried over you too many times, Uchiha. And I'm not doing it any more.' Her eyes shone with determination. She didn't even notice that Naruto had come up behind her and was talking.
"Sakura-chan? Sakura-chan? Are you listening to me?"
Sakura's eyes focused on the kyuubi container, a smirk on her lips. 'It's time, Uchiha. Time for some payback. You won't know what hit you.' Ignoring whatever Naruto was saying to her, she opened her mouth and said to him,
"Make sure Sasuke is at Sound tonight at 11." Without waiting for his answer, she turned around and headed for her apartment, leaving Naruto with an open mouth and a confused expression. 'Sound?' he thought to himself. 'I doubt I will be able to get Sasuke to go to a club…'
As soon as she was no longer within earshot of Naruto, Sakura opened up her cell phone and pressed the speed dial, the smirk still on her lips. 'I could have almost any guy I want in this town, and it's time to show him what he's missing.'
"Hey forehead, what can I do for you?" Her best friend answered after 3 rings.
"Come to my house tonight at 9, Ino. We're going out."
"Out?! Finally! I've been waiting for this call."
"Ino, I'm serious. We're not going for a night of fun."
Sakura was met with silence for a couple of seconds on the other side of the phone. Then, she could hear her best friend smirking.
"It's about time we showed that cold-hearted bastard that you don't need him! What are you going to do? Oh, I know! Let's make him jealous!"
It was Sakura's time to smirk. "I have something a bit more…entertaining planned for our friend Ice Bitch."
Ino laughed. "I like the way you think. I'll be at your house at nine. Oh my gosh, I am already so excited."
Sakura laughed, "Yeah it's time for a little payback."
XXXXXXXX
The doorbell rang at 8:56 pm. Sakura went downstairs still with her hair in a towel, and with a purple robe on. She opened the door.
Ino was standing on her doorstep with tight straight-leg dark blue jeans on and blue glittery heels. She also had on a black jacket. Her eye shadow was tinted blue and her hair was down and curled.
She smiled at Sakura, walked past her and said, "Hello there Miss Devious. I must tell you that I cannot wait to go to Sound tonight. I don't know what you have planned, but I cannot wait to get some emotions out of Ice Bitch."
Sakura laughed, "I can't believe we actually call him that."
"Well the name does fit…" Ino walked into Sakura's black and white living room and sat on her black leather couch.
"So are you going to tell me about this little plan of yours?" Ino asked.
Sakura sat down on the couch next to her and crossed her legs. "Well, I don't want to spoil the fun for you, but I will tell you that those pole dancing lessons we took together will be put to good use."
Ino burst out laughing. "Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?"
"Let's just say that your best friend got her heart broken one too many times, and she has decided that since words don't seem to work with him, there are other methods of…persuasion." Ino laughed harder and Sakura joined her.
The girls rose from the couch and Sakura led the way up the stairs and down the hall to her bedroom.
"So have you picked out an outfit yet?" Ino asked as she unzipped her jacket and laid it on Sakura's bed to reveal her black see-through lace shirt she was wearing with a black push up bra underneath.
"Yes, I have the perfect outfit." Sakura went into her bathroom to blow her hair dry. After twenty minutes or so, she came out holding a curling iron.
"Should I curl my hair before or after I get dressed?" She asked Ino.
"After. Clothes first, then hair, then makeup." She said while lying on the bed.
Sakura walked over to her closet and grabbed a pair of dark blue jeans, a black belt and black stiletto heels. She then walked over to her wardrobe to pick out a pair of black lacey panties.
"What about your shirt?" Ino asked, confused. Sakura's only answer was a playful smirk as she closed the bathroom door behind her. Ino sighed as laid back down onto Sakura's black satin sheets.
About ten minutes later, Sakura opened the door and saw Ino's jaw drop.
"OH.MY.GOSH. I cannot BELIEVE you are wearing that." Ino shrieked. Then she burst into laughter. "Although, if I wanted to get a guy, I'd probably wear the same thing. I just hope Kakashi isn't there to see in that. He probably wouldn't be able to contain himself. That'd just be weird."
"I don't know about that." Sakura smiled. "He's pretty hot underneath all those clothes." She walked out of the bathroom and looked over at Ino's shocked expression.
"I won't even ask," she said, raising her hands in surrender. "I don't want to know how you know that."
Sakura walked over to the mirror to look at herself. Damn, she looked pretty good. She had on dark blue jeans that made her ass look perfect. Her shoes made her 4 inches taller than she really was. Her waist long pink hair was gorgeous and straight. It was her shirt however, that made the outfit.
"I'll say again, that I cannot believe you are wearing that shirt. If you can even call it a shirt."
Sakura's "shirt" was really a piece of black fabric that was maybe 5 inches in diameter. It was twisted around her neck in a halter-top-like fashion, then it crisscrossed over her breasts and then tied around her back. It didn't really leave anything up the imagination.
"No wonder why I didn't see you grab a shirt before. That's the smallest thing I've ever seen." Ino was right. It was really looked like a scarf that was twisted to hide the right spots and then tied in the back. "If Sasuke can keep his hands off you after he sees you in this, then we just need to admit that the man is gay. Although you might just be able to get gay men in that thing as well."
Sakura then walked into the bathroom to curl a few strands of her hair. She preferred it straight, so she curled a piece of hair about ever four inches or so all around her head. She then applied black mascara and a dusting of black eye shadow and some pink lip-gloss. She really didn't need that much make up. She looked at the clock that now read 10:46.
"Let's go." Sakura called to Ino as she walked out of the room.
Ino looked at her and sighed. 'Poor guy won't know what hit him.' She then stood up and walked to the other side of the room, shut off the light and closed the door.
Despite her confident exterior, Sakura was nervous. 'What will Sasuke think? Will he think I'm a slut? What if Tsunade finds out? I'll be so dead. I hope Kakashi isn't there. That would be awkward.'
"Will you relax? You'll be fine. This was your idea, remember?" Ino tried to be reassuring.
She was right, though. This was Sakura's own idea. Sasuke wanted to play hard to get? Well Sakura was done with his mind games. It was time for a little game of her own. She wasn't stupid. She saw the way he looked at her when he thought she didn't notice. He stared at her all the time actually. She didn't know why he just didn't admit to having some feelings for her. She wasn't asking to marry him (although that idea had crossed her mind) she just wanted to know if he liked her! 'Well this is his own fault. He should know better by now than to screw with the heart and mind of Haruno Sakura.' Sakura smirked; she was ready.
"I don't know what's gotten into you today. But I like it." Ino said as they walked down the road to the hottest club in town. It would take about twenty minutes to walk there, but Sakura wanted to make sure that Sasuke was inside and seated at one of the tables so she could make an entrance. The nervousness that she was feeling a moment ago was completely replaced with excitement. 'Who gives a shit was Sasuke thinks of me? He's never going to admit his feelings for me anyway. So let's play around with him a little.' The adrenaline now pumping in Sakura's veins almost made her want to run all the way to the club.

Naruto somehow had managed to get Sasuke to come into Sound. With a sigh a relief, Naruto's thoughts turned to Sakura. 'This had better be worth it.' He thought with a frown. 'I had to promise to not speak to him for a month and put duct tape over my mouth while training with him.'
He and Sasuke had found seats at a table not far from the bar. The club was divided into two parts. There was the side that they were now on, with the bar and a couple of tables, then on the other side of the club, there was the DJ and about 200 hundred bodies moving to the beat of the current song. Naruto looked down at his watch, which currently read 11:12 pm.
"Do you want me to get some drinks?" Naruto asked his currently brooding friend.
Sasuke leaned back in the chair with his arms folded and glared at Naruto.
"I'll take that as a 'no'". Naruto said while going over to the bar.
Sasuke looked around the club. 'What am I doing here?' He asked himself. Sasuke saw Kakashi sitting with Asuma and Genma at a table not far away from them. Kakashi felt someone's eyes on him and looked over to see Sasuke looking at him. After a 'What-are-you-doing-here-I-never-thought-I'd-catch-you-dead-in-a-place-like-this' look, Kakashi gave Sasuke an eye crinkle and a wave and turned back to talk to his fellow jounins.
'Oh yeah. Naruto said that Sakura wanted to talk to me. How many times am I going to have to keep hurting her? I don't want a relationship right now. Why can't she see that?'
Sasuke sighed and focused on Naruto who was bringing two beers over to the table.
"Is she here yet?" Naruto asked. He took Sasuke's lack of answering as a 'no'.
Naruto sighed. This was going to be a very long night.
XXXXXXXXXXX
Sakura had been quiet for a while now. Ino looked over and saw the excitement in her eyes.
"You ready?" She asked with a smile on her face.
Sakura took a deep breath and said, "Absolutely."
Ino grinned. "Let's go". She took Sakura's hand and led her into the club.
Once through the door, Ino let go of Sakura's hand.
"Okay. Here we go…well here you go, I guess." Ino looked around the bar area and spotted Naruto and a very angry looking Sasuke.
Ino turned back around and saw Sakura looking at Sasuke. She had a seductive smirk on her face and her eyes held determination. Ino put her hands on Sakura' shoulders.
"Take a deep breath. This is it. Deep breaths."
"Relax Ino. I'm going to be doing the heavy lifting here not you."
"Yeah I guess you're right. I'm just a bit nervous for you. This could end two very different ways. Either you look like a total slut and Sasuke doesn't give a shit, or Sasuke realizes how badly he wants you, and you still look like a slut."
"Wow Ino thanks for the words of confidence."
Ino took another deep breath and closed her eyes. A few seconds later she opened them and took her hands off Sakura's shoulders.
"You're right. We both know he wants you, he just won't admit it." Ino clasped her hands together and squeaked, "I'm so excited!"
"Are you schizophrenic, Pig?" Sakura asked while raising an eyebrow.
"No. I just had a momentary lapse of confidence, that's all. I'm totally stoked now."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Whatever." Sakura looked around and saw Naruto talking to Sasuke, and smirked.
"Alright Pig. Mission Payback is commencing."
Ino looked like she was going to burst with excitement, and then two seconds later switched into Seductive Ino. "Excuse me while I work my magic."
Sakura watched Ino as she walked up to the DJ and asked him to play Sakura's song of choice. He nodded and then she whispered something in his ear that caused his mouth to open in shock. Whether he blushed or not, Sakura couldn't see in this lighting.
"Typical," Sakura whispered.
Sakura made sure to keep herself hidden in the shadows as she watched Ino walk over to Naruto and Sasuke's table.
"Hey guys," Ino purred. "Mind if I join you?" Without waiting for an answer she sat herself down next to Naruto.
"Hey Ino. Have you seen Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.
Ino smiled and looked directly at Sasuke who was pretending not to be interested, but she could tell he wanted to know as well. Looking at him right in the eye she said, "Yes as a matter of fact, I have seen Sakura." Sasuke raised an eyebrow when she didn't elaborate.
Suddenly, Sakura's song started to play and Ino had to bite her tongue from bursting out into laughter; she was so excited. 'I can't wait to see the look on his face.'
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Sakura looked at Ino and smiled when she heard "Get Naked" by Britney Spears start to play.
'Here goes nothing.'
Ino looked over and smirked. 'Knock him dead, Forehead.' Sakura smirked back understanding. Sakura had already shrugged off her jacket and gave it to Ino before she had sat down. Because of the lack of lighting in the club, the boys didn't notice Ino was carrying more than one jacket.
Sasuke looked at Ino and followed her line of sight and spotted Sakura over whispering something into the bartender's ear. Said bartender smiled and nodded.
"What is Sakura doing?" Sasuke asked Ino, unable to contain himself.
Ino looked at him and said with a knowing smile on her lips, "Teaching you a lesson."
Sasuke didn't question her further. Naruto was about to ask what she meant when he heard catcalls from the crowd and looked over just in time to see Sakura jump on top of the bar. She then bent down and grabbed three shots of vodka and downed them before anyone could stop her.
'What the hell is she doing?' Sasuke asked himself.
Without sparing Sasuke a glance, Sakura then proceeded to walk to the left side of the bar and grabbed onto the stripper's pole that was a few feet away from the DJ.
'She's not going to – ' Sasuke said to himself.
Sakura then grabbed onto the pole with her right hand and put her left arm in the air and began swaying her hips seductively to the music. Then she started grinding with the pole. Her eyes cast downward looking at nothing in particular – she wasn't concentrating on anything except the music.
Yes, Sasuke. Yes, apparently she is going to.
My body is calling out for you bad boy…
Sakura then turned around and put both arms above her head and grabbed the pole above her. She put her back against the pole and slowly slid down it. When she was crouched down, she kept her arms above her and slid back up the pole.
'What is she doing?' Sasuke didn't realize that his Sharingan had activated. 'Why does she want all these perverts thinking about her like that?'
Oh, Sasuke. You are so in denial.
Kakashi was looking at his former student with his jaw on the floor (not that you could see it). He had never seen her so – so… confident…so…sexy. 'Oh God, bad thoughts. BAD THOUGHTS.' Kakashi had to avert his gaze. There was no way he wanted to think about the pink haired girl like that.
XXXXXXXX
Sasuke suddenly got the urge to walk up her and pull her off the bar so people would stop staring at her --
-- but he could move. He couldn't stop watching her. He couldn't stop thinking about how much he wanted to make her to dance like that on him.
Why was it that he kept saying no to her? He watched her lick her lips and bite her bottom lip. He couldn't remember. He tried to remember what his name was. He couldn't remember. He forgot where he was and who he was with. He couldn't think of anything but her right now.
Ino looked over at the stunned Uchiha and smiled at his lust-filled eyes. 'Got him.'
She turned her attention back to Sakura.
What I gotta do to get you to want my body?
XXXXXXXX
Sakura put her right hand one the pole and arched her back so that her head was about two feet off the bar top. She then pulled herself back up and let go of the bar completely. She walked into the center of the bar and raised her eyes to the crowd—but she still didn't spare Sasuke a glance.
I got a plan we can do it just what you wanna baby, baby, baby…
As long as you wanna come with me we can do it baby, baby, baby…
Her body still moving to the music, she raised her hands and tangled them in her hair while rolling her hips forward and backward. Then she moved her hands slowly down her neck, over the sides of her breasts, down her stomach, over her hips and as her hands got lower, she bent her knees and crouched down until her hands were over her knees. She then turned to the side and began dragging her hands up to her inner thighs, up over her stomach and back up into her hair, while moving her hips in a circular motion.
Sasuke had gone pale. 'Oh my God' was the only thought that passed his mind.
Naruto didn't know what to make of the current situation. He figured from the conversation he had overheard this morning, that she was going to get Sasuke back someway…but this? No he never expected her to go this far.
Naruto smirked and looked at Sasuke's expression. He saw the shock briefly pass through the Uchiha's eyes, but it was then overcome by excitement. 'Serves the bastard right.'
XXXXXX
'This is so much fun' Sakura kept thinking to herself. She really was having the time of her life up on the bar. The adrenaline pumping in her veins erased any nervousness she might have had. Her mind went blank as soon as she jumped onto the wooded platform. She had one thing on her mind 'I'll show you who's in control of whom, Uchiha Sasuke.'
Sakura liked the attention she was getting. She saw Naruto's shocked expression, Ino's smirk, and Kakashi's embarrassment in the crowd.
'Poor guy.' She thought. 'I bet it's a bit embarrassing seeing someone who you consider your sister dancing like this…'
The point in the song where Sakura had planned to blow Sasuke's socks (or pants) off was coming. Sakura smiled; she had planned this part down in her head perfectly.
She was still standing in the middle of the bar…suddenly the music changed and she snapped her eyes up to Sasuke and saw the desire in his eyes before he put the tip of her thumb in her mouth…
If I get on top you're gone loose you mind…
I understand that you don't got no man
And I just want to take your hand
And I need you to understand…
She put her left hand in her hair and took right thumb out of her mouth, making sure to get some saliva on it. She lowered herself onto her knees so she was more on eye-level with the crowd. She kept her lips parted; her hips still swaying. 'Let's see how good your self control is now Sasuke.'
Sakura kept her hand in her hair and not breaking eye contact, she dragged her wet thumb down the middle of her chest and down her flat abdomen, leaving a wet trail traveling down her body. She then hooked her thumb into the top of her pants and pulled her jeans down as low as possible with her belt still on. Whether her black lace underwear was visible, she did not know. She saw Sasuke's eye trail down her body following her thumb. She let her other hand fall from her hair and travel down, making sure she draw attention to her left breast and hooked her thumb into the top of her pants, pulling the left side down as low as possible as well. She then saw Sasuke's eyes snap back to her face, where she deliberately ran her tongue across her top row of teeth. Seeing that his Sharingan was activated she knew that he would be able to read her lips when she mouthed the lyrics,
I just wanna take it off
I just wanna take it off…
She then unhooked her fingers and ran her hands down as slowly as possible down until they were in between her legs. Stopping there for a second or two, she continued to reach lower until her hands glided past her inner thighs to her knees; she never broke eye contact with him except when he would let his eyes flicker to where her hands were touching.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ino snorted. 'Does she have to make it look like she is having sex with herself?'
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
She was vaguely aware that everyone in the entire club, including those who were dancing on the other side, were now watching her.
Still on her knees, she ran her hands back up the inside of her thighs, over her abs, over her breasts and back up her into her hair. She then rocked back onto her heels, and shifted her hips so her ass could face the side. She then put her hands on her knees and slowly picked herself up into a standing position while arching her back – never breaking Sasuke's gaze. Sakura could have sworn she saw Sasuke lick his lips while she was touching herself.
The song was coming to an end. She knew that after Britney was done singing, there was about 15 seconds left of music in the song. She could only pray that the DJ would play the end of song, so that she could make her exit. Sakura jumped down off the bar after the singing ended, but the music remained. Those who had remained in front of the bar moved to the side and cleared a path as Sakura confidently walked up the table that her 3 friends occupied. Naruto looked like he was torn between yelling at her for putting up such a display, and amusement. Ino looked like she had just won a million dollars, and Sasuke…well Sasuke looked like he would have sex with her right there on the table if he had the opportunity.
'Not tonight, Sasuke.' Sakura smiled to herself.
Sakura walked up to the table and looked at Ino who promptly handed Sakura her jacket. Taking one last look at Sasuke, Sakura smirked and without one word, walked straight out of the club, totally ignoring the shocked and confused expressions of almost every occupant.
Ino laughed at the expression on Sasuke's face…he obviously thought that Sakura was going to say something or beg him to come home with her…
Hearing Ino's laughter, Sasuke looked up into her startlingly blue eyes. "What are you laughing at?" He asked almost angrily.
Ino smirked and stood up to put her jacket on. After zipping it, she looked Sasuke right in the eye and said,
"Payback is a bitch."
OOOOOOOOO
There you have it! The new and improved version as it was meant to be.
