A/N: Sorry about the wait everyone the holidays got a hold of me. As an apology gift here is a longer chapter.

Happy Holidays to everyone and hope you're spending it the way you want.


The next morning Hinata made pancakes for the girls and herself the way they like them extra chocolatey. She debated making extra for Sakura's night guest but she knew that she probably sent him away earlier that morning.
Ino and Sakura didn't become fully alive until after breakfast so it was a quick and quiet affair. After doing the dishes she collected Ino and Sakura's share of the rent and dropped it off to her landlord the very kind Kureni who was a single mother. Her husband had died fighting the war in Iraq before he had the chance to meet his daughter.

Kureni was always kind to her and didn't judge what Hinata and her friends did for a living and was willing to help them in anyway she knew how. Normally Hinata spent a few hours with her and her daughter but she was midway through her semester and she needed to do the homework and reading she couldn't do this weekend. The weekend really was a strippers busiest time, aside from the holidays.

Hours later she changed out of her sweats and into a simple jeans and T shirt combo she knocked on Ino's door to see if she was ready to leave yet. She had gotten a call from Tsunade's right hand woman that Tsunade wanted every one to come in an hour early. When it opened there was a very pissed off Ino with an equally pissed off Sakura.

"What's going on guys?"

"Forehead here thinks it's a good idea to go back to work when Tsunade gave her the day off!"

"And Miss Piggy over there seems to forget that Fridays are a big tip day and I'm not going to miss it!"

Damn. She hated being in the middle of their arguments picking a side meant hurting the others feelings.
"Well maybe Sakura can come with us and if Tsunade says she can work then she will, if Tsunade says she can't then she won't."

"Yes good idea Hina! Well let Tsunade decide." Sakura said with a huge grin.

"Fine." Came the curt reply from Ino.

They all knew Sakura was Tsunade's favorite, she treated all girls kindly but Sakura like the daughter she never had.
If Sakura wanted to work she would probably let her.

The car ride was tense with Sakura happily chatting away about her one night stand and how he made her toes curl. Hinata pretty much zoned out saying Mmmhmm and oh when Sakura paused to catch her breath. Ino straight out ignored her the entire time but Hinata could see the blonde was listening to the story when she wasn't.

When the girls got to the club normally Shizune was there helping everyone with make up and costumes but not today.
The dressing room was empty.
They walked to stage area and found everyone sitting around Tsunade who was in the middle of giving a speech.

"Ladies glad you can grace us with your presence. Sakura you shouldn't be here." Said the older woman clearly irritated she had been interrupted.

Sakura opened her mouth to argue but was cut off.

"Later Sakura. As I was saying, because of the attack on one of our dancers I contacted a security company to help gaurd you ladies better. You are not only important to the club but important to me. Knowing that one of you was hurt under my watch was devastating."

She looks at Sakura as she says this and Hinata can tell they are both blinking back tears but refuse to cry. They were stronger then that.

"Let me introduce you to Kakashi who hand picked his team to watch over you." She introduces a tall, white haired man with a mask over his face and a headband covering one eye.

"I had a long conversation with Lady Tsunade and let me just tell you that each one of my men are going to be dedicated to the job and will not be distracted by the shows you lady's put on."
Despite the mask he is easy to understand and spoke clearly (this will always baffle Hinata).
"Tonight my men are going to pose as customers so we can find the weak points in security and come up with a plan to make them stronger."

"OK Sakura in my office, everyone else can start getting ready." With the dismal they rest of the girls began preparing for the night.

Hinata had to do a stage dance, walk the floor, followed by a final stage dance of 2 songs and walk the floor a final time, if she's lucky enough to get picked for the champagne room for a private dance for a person or even better a party.

In the back stage are she decided on her nurse outfit for her first set, that was hanging in her changing area. Tsunade and Shizune both agreed that Hinata gave off an innocent vibe so she should pick innocent gone naughty costumes. She didn't know if she should be insulted or complimented but took their advice anyways.

She took off her jeans, shoes and T shirt and put them in a drawer in her changing station that she shared with a girl named Matsuri. They had decided Hinata gets the left side of the station and Matsuri the right to avoid any issues with personal items. Hinata then grabbed her chosen outfit and went behind a changing screen for privacy no matter how comfortable she was with stripping down to her panties she still couldn't change to her birthday suit in front of the other girls.

Behind the screen she got dressed in her ensemble. Her panties were white boy shorts with red trimming that exposed the lower half of her butt. Her panties were attached to sheer white stockings by red garter belts. Next her bra was also white with red trimmings and straps that pushed up her breasts but hooked in front with a plus pattern that also decorated her flimsy nurse hat.

She walked from behind the changing screen and back to her station where she put on red 3 inch "fuck me" heels (as Ino so lovingly calls them) and waited for Shizune to come to her station. She didn't have to wait long and Shizune loved doing her make up because she never really did anything. She applied some basic powder and foundation with a little blush on her cheeks. Applied mascara around her eyes to make them pop and red lipstick to match her outfit. Shizune once told her that she was a natural beauty and too much make up would hide it.

She heard Shizune faintly in the background telling them it was show time but was looking for Sakura and Ino she hadn't seen them since being dismissed from the meeting. To be honest she was starting to get worried. She bumped into Matsuri who gave her a withering look and told her "To watch it!" They may share a station but that's it the other girl had an issue with Hinata and she didn't know why.
She ignored her and began to wring her hands. Some of the girls made their way onto the floor in various stages of undress and began to mingle with the few patrons they had Hinata knew in an hour they will be packed to maximum occupancy Lady Tsunade's club offered men regular show girls, a good environment, and liquor at a good price.

Hinata told the DJ her song selection and went to her station to grab her nurse coat that hides her sexy ensemble but still reveals her cleavage, barely goes past her butt and clings to her curves quite fittingly. It was at Sakura's and Ino's station that she found a depressed Ino applying the last of her make up wearing a turquoise diamond net cami top that exposed yet displayed her breasts, net thong showing off her butt and matching net thigh warmers all with yellow outline.

"What's wrong Ino?" Hinata asked with concern.
"Sakura is pissed at me. Tsunade didn't let her dance tonight but she could be bartender to still make tips."
"But why is she mad at you?"
"Because I advocated against her she just doesn't understand, I'm trying to protect her."
"She'll get over it I'm sure of it."
She gave Hinata a little smile through the mirror and finished applying her eye shadow. She went through her drawer and pulled out a whiskey bottle and took a swing then held it out to Hinata.
Hinata closed her eyes and took a small swig. The girls liked to drink a shot before and after a shift they don't know how it started but didn't seem to want to get rid of it.
She passed the bottle back and Ino put it away and stood up. She walked with Hinata to the doorway that separates the club from the back room and Ino whispered "break a leg" and left her.

Hinata went to another door that let out the stage as she waited for the DJ to announce her. 5 mins later she heard "Gentleman and a few ladies please welcome to the stage the enticing, the sexy, the mysterious hime of Katsuyu Hina!"

Hinata took a deep breath and sauntered on stage to the pole as Warrant's song Cherry Pie began to play.
As she reached the pole she automatically began by wrapping her left hand around the pole and walked around it to build up the crowd. She then hooked her legs around and did a fireman spin that she ended with by standing straight up with her back against the pole facing away from the audience. She reached up behind her head to grab the pole with both hands. Then gyrated her hips from side to side as she slid down the pole until she was crouching. As she did this, she ran her hands down the front of her body all the way to her knees. Then, pushed her knees apart so that her legs are momentarily spread open and then quickly popped back up into a standing position. She almost winces when she heard her knee pop but ignored it.
She looked out to the crowd and made eye contact with a few men and gave a secret smile. She noticed an attractive red head with the most vivid teal eyes leaning against one of the walls staring at her while Matsuri was talking to him.
She then wrapped her hands high on the pole, pulled her knees up and climbed the pole until she was almost to the top and then released her legs just for a moment, bringing them out in front of her and rocking her hips as she move your legs down to the ground.
When her feet touched the floor she arched her back while letting one hand began to unbutton the nurses coat she spun again and stripped it off letting it fall to the floor. She heard a series of wolf whistles and cat calling. She walked over to crowd and collected some money from them and went back to the pole to finish she climbed it again did then slid all the way down into the splits.
She looked at the crowd again and this time she made eye contact with the man again. She looked away, got up from the floor and took money from audience and allowed some men to pit their singles in her bra or underwear. She started at the left of the stage and worked her way to the right it was there that the red haired man looked her in the eyes and held out $100. Her eyes widen in disbelief and she shook her head no and offered an apologetic smile to appease him in case he got angry instead he just seemed amused.
It was hard to tell since he had no eyebrows but his eyes conveyed his emotions.

Hinata walked off stage and into the dressing area to put away her money and change. The entire time she was thinking of the red head and his curious actions but decided he must be a perv of some kind and shrugged it off. She still had the rest of the night to work and worrying about clients never did anyone good.
