The weary night's peaceful slumber was once again contorted by the lively gathering at the center of the city that never sleeps. Bright lights eroded the darkness away while enthralling laughter of sweet flirtatious women filled in the greedy senses of pleasure seeking, thrill loving, and well-of men.
"Oi, teme! Let's go clubbin' out tonight!" Shouted a fierce sun kissed Lad upon taking into his view the great Uchiha heir. The former hold a wide, wide grin plastered maniacally at his fox-face as he runned after his barely visible ehemfriendehem as he would like to say.
"Not interested …dobe"
Uchiha Sasuke was about to leave the crowded Casino having finished his match of poker against some rich, ugly, old, men together with the ever so perverted Kakashi considering the outcome which he supposes, a result of deficiency of luck and he will not… I repeat… will not succumb to any pestering of his haughty, nagging friend (??) even bribed of nice delicacy of women for that matter.
"Mooo! Don't be a stuck ass now, teme. We got the whole fabulous, groovy night to ourselves!!!" Whined the smothered Naruto.
"It's a waste of time, moron." A deep, husky voice said.
"You're such an ass Sasuke-teme. There'll be many smexy chicks you can hit there so common'!"
"Still not interested, go bother someone else."
"I still can't believe I have a friend like you. Can't even accompany you beztie…" Naruto moans and huffs with matching azure, puppy-puffy, adorable, pleading eyes.
"I don't remember calling you my friend, dobe." He retorted.
…
…
…albeit it's fruitless, need not to say in front of the dashing, human ice-cube.
"Can't take this anymore!!!! You know, stop being so stubborn because losing another game to Kakashi won't kill ya' teme.." although Naruto's not very much fond of poker, due to his readable expression and lack of suppressing skills, knows well that poker has been the hobby of most of his friends. "Granny Tsunade rubbed her gambling habits of poker on them... But never to the great Naruto." He said self-righteously.
Veins popping…
…And yup, he had hit the right spot. ;'p
"Hn…" Sasuke scoffs guiltily, sighing inaudibly in defeat.
The sunn kissed pursuer smugly smiles with his triumphant victory against a brooding, uncompromising, knuckle-headed, grumpy victim.
"Yeah! 'Ata go Sasuke, haha! Bet glad I'm you're friend, ne teme."
Of all the people Sasuke know, why does it have to be Naruto who beats him? Well, that man (boy) just knows him awfully too well and he would just give in easily…
.. .because they're comrades.
Sasuke smirks silently at his friend's gesture. And yes, Naruto is the idiot among the idiot but has a way of being a one amidsttheir world of pretentiousness corroded of deviousness to get to the top… Fuck human nature.
…Guess he wouldn't mind tagging along for tonight.

I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne ...
to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music ...
music...
You have come here, for one purpose, and one alone ...
I first heard you sing,
I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing, for my music ...
my music...

Naruto managed to persuade a few more unwilling friends to accompany him clubbin' whereas others truthfully knowing Naruto, understand it as burlesque-watching.
Together with the Sabaku no Gaara, greatly in debt to Naruto in a fascinating kind of way, Shikamaru, too troubled by Naruto's endless whines and protest, and lastly, Hyuuga Neji… errrrr, also in debt to Naruto to refuse… what a pain in the ass Naruto is.
The five debonaires enter the 'Wild Berry Metro Club' covered in glittering façades half way up their faces. Nonetheless, the masked faces did not fail to grab away the attention of the anticipating audiences of the neo-burlesque show. Tonight's a special night. Men must be armoured in mysterious masquerades and suave suites likewise the ladies are to be in their alluring corsets, fluffy feather decorations, and fancy, sequin-embedded camouflages.
Situated at the front of the stage, the five VIP's sat down to their expensively reserved seats, care of Naruto, guaranteed full view of whatever striptease might reveal. Indeed, Tsunade haven't rubbed off her bad habits to Naruto…
…it was Jiraya who did.
"The show better be good Naruto.", threatened Neji.
"Of course my ever, dearest cousin!" the other boy exclaimed. "Only the best is worthy of this Naruto's eyes!" he added with a surprisingly, highly idiotic declamation.
"Troublesome…"
"Though I don't quite enjoy comedies, I appreciate satirical humor which are cleverly written and smartly delivered in this type of theaters." supplied by the Sabaku prodigy.
"Yeah, we could use some against that idiot, dead-last." mocked the brooding debonair malevolently, snickering.
"That's very well said Uchiha." complimented the Hyuuga, clapping his hands sarcastically beside Naruto with a handsome wicked smile.
"Teme!" he growled.
Obsidian orbs hidden behind eyelids, dark, long lashes flirted in every direction as Sasuke Uchiha's trademark smirk escaped his lips. "Hn...."
A waiter delivered the liquors to their table. Fortunately, the server was yet a man, and not a woman who would ogle over the glamorous bachelors. Instantaneously, the lights got dimmer and a spotlight appeared on the center stage together with the male host of the evening.
"This is it!" giggled the frantically excited fox-boy, somewhat girlish and childish at the same time.
A slender hand raised a dignified daiquiri to the ebony-haired man's slightly parted lips and began to sip a small amount of liquor into his parched throat. He then licked his lips of any remnants of liquid of his beverage as he lowered his glass to the table.

Softly, deftly, music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you ...
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night.

The lad looked away at the boring comedy and averted his gaze to a much secluded place… the bar.
… there seated a fabulously, elegant woman. She is wearing a black corset which extended to her wide hips, emphasizing her tiny waist. Scarlet lingerie-looking completed with the arousing black laces and ribbons covered her bulging chest, her cleavages shown, courtesy of the tightness of her outfit. A flowing black, ruffled skirt split at her front exposes the red inner linning and a pair of creamy, long legs covered in black fish-nets, feet clad in, approximately, 4-inches high, scarlet stilettos.
However, her face is fully covered by a gold, accentuated and flamboyantly designed masquerade…
…tempting woman, he groans innerly.
..

…Sasuke Uchiha is not looking for love in a cabaret bar.
