Strip for me.

It was at one of Ino's annual get together a where he learned a few more of his weaknesses. The first being that when it came to games that were based on pure luck, he was terrible at them. Another being that for some reason the universe hated him so much that day that he was ready to flip a table.

The group sat in a circle on the floor, some laying on their backs while the others glared intensely over their hand. This game was rigged, he thought. There was no way he could be losing this badly. But he wasn't the only one, at least. The Uchiha was in his under shirt and jeans, having given up five articles of clothing, including his sweater. Ino herself was sitting proudly in her bra and shorts as well, not fazed that she was losing. In fact, she had no problem with how the odds her against her.

"All right. I'm pulling in three for three!" Tenten exclaimed.

Naruto replaced the three cards she placed on the floor with three new ones.

"Anyone else?"

Sasuke traded in his whole hand for a new one, Every else shook their heads. Glancing at each other from the top of their hands they furrowed there brows. Time to sacrifice. Sasuke took off his under shirt, his abs shined and toned. Ino took off her shorts, her blue panties now presented upon her hips. Naruto gave in his pants and two socks, feeling confident. Hinata took off her shirt, her extra support bra now visible. Tenten removed her bra from under her shirt, glancing at Neji. She was teasing him, he noticed. Sucking his teeth, Neji put in his head band, not risking loosing his pants. Shikamaru folded. Sakura put in her hair ribbons. Looking at each other, they , two, three-

"DRAW!" They exclaimed.

It was Tenten who sat victorious with a Royal flush. Smirking, the other groaned. Her gambling abilities were superior to theirs. Neji wondered if it was all luck or if she knew how to play due to experience.

"Eat that, losers!" The bun head exclaimed claiming the pile of clothing.

Shikamaru glanced over at her pile, they were about the same in the amount of clothing. Taking a swig of his beer, he tossed in his cards and waited for the rest to be handed out.

"Too bad Sai couldn't come..." Ino sighed.

"Wasn't it because he had is Japanese Art final?" Sakura asked smoothing down her hair.

Ino nodded. Her boyfriend was very focused on school since he was a bout three credits away from graduating college.

"The troublesome woman is out with her brothers...Gaara is looking for an apartment in Suna City." Shikamaru murmured.

"How nice. They should just move here since they're always here." Tenten said picking up her new hand.

"That would be cool. Mr. Almost CEO needs to hang out once in a while." Naruto agreed taking a gulp of is beer.

Neji and Sasuke shrugged. They had no input of what to say.

"We should have a little party and invite them soon then." Hinata suggested.

Everyone agreed. Neji glanced down at his hand. Ok, he thought, three of a kind... Not too bad. He glanced over at the others. Naruto wasn't looking to happy with his hand. Sasuke was glaring at the cards...Shikamaru had only glanced once and put his cards down, waiting for the rest of them. Ino was smirking and Sakura grimaced. Neji figured he probably had a chance. Then Hinata gave a small squeak. She had a look of worry on her face. Neji was now smirking to himself behind his cards. His lavender eyes went to the bun head. She had a solid face, no emotion at all. Damn she was good, he thought. But he really wanted to see what was under that shirt.

"Anyone?" Naruto called.

Neji removed two cards from his hand, keeping his three of a kind. Sasuke folded. Sakura turned in her whole hand. Ino sat still, as did Shikamaru. Hinata gave in four cards and Naruto folded as well. Tenten didn't move. And so they all put in. Shikamaru removed his hair tie, and threw it to the middle. As did Neji. His hair cascaded down and spread around his shoulders and reaching the bottom of his shoulderblades, while Shikamaru's stopped at his shoulders. Ino's hair became loose as she there's the rubber bands into the middle. Hinata decided to fold. Tenten stood. They all eyes her as she slowly leaned forward in the Hyuga's direction and slowly slid off her spandex shorts.

"Holy shit. Tenten, I didn't know you wore thongs!" Sakura exclaimed.

"But that's a cute one. Green is defiantly one for your colors, Tenten." Ino said moving closer to observe the piece of lingerie.

Hinata agreed. Indeed it was cute.

Neji gulped as he quickly glanced at the bun head as she tossed her shorts to the middle of the circle and sat back down. She was going to drive him insane. Thank kami he still had his pants on...

"Alright, HIT IT!"

Yes, Neji thought. His three of a kind was enough to save him for sure. Naruto had just lost his pants to Shikamaru. Re-dealing the cards, Shikamaru leaned in and tapped Tenten on the knee. She looked at him curiously.

"You're poker skills are surprisingly great. I'm curious as to how you managed to keep yourself calm." He said.

Tenten smiled. During her down time she would hang out with her brother and his friend's. She learned all kinds of tricks to stay alive in this game. She even knew how to cheat. But since it wasn't in her nature to do so, she's been playing cautious, like a good gambler should. The Nara kid let out a laugh. Of course, he thought.

"You're gonna drive him crazy." The lazy teen whispered.

"I know. But it's not everyday I get to beat him at something." Tenten replied.

"You also don't wear thongs, Tenten."

"Well, well. Looks like my best friend hasn't failed me yet." She winked at him.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes and smirked. Tenten took a swig of her beer as she picked up her cards. Decent, she thought. Everyone else seemed to be alright as well. She noticed that Neji had kept a straight face this whole time. He glanced at the Uchiha. The raven haired teen's nostrils flared, and Neji blinked. Nodding, the Uchiha turned to the rest of them.

"Double or nothing?" Sasuke announced.

Hinata instantly folded. Ino pulled off her panties and threw them into the middle along with her hair clip. Shikamaru threw in his under shirt and belt. Sasuke took off his pants and socks. The pinkette folded. Naruto sat naked. Neji pulled of his belt and pants, looking at Tenten straight in the face as he did so. He was challenging her, she grimaced. The first facial expression she held the whole game. Due to the Hyuga's rotten luck, she still figured that she had some type if chance. Even of she didn't get it, Shikamaru defiantly would. Pulling out her hair ties, Tenteb threw those into the middle.

"Double or nothing, Ten." Sasuke smirked.

Huffing, Tenten pulled off her shirt. The first pair of breasts shown in the game. Neji smirked behind his cards as he looked at her. Revenge was definitely sweet. He remembers the last time they played like this. He had lost, of course, with Ino. They both had to jump into the blonde's pool, completely naked as punishment. Not today, Neji thought.

"Punishment?" Ino asked.

"Do the pool again?" Sakura suggested.

They shook their head. Nah, too easy. Plus Ino's pool was heated. Naruto raised his hand.

"How about pool, plus a lap dance to the winner of this round."

Neji choked. They all looked at him. Shaking his head they all laughed, expecting him to be the one to do it to Tenten.

"Alright. All in agreement?"

"Yep."

"DRAW."

Everyone gasped. Tenten looked down at her cards in disbelief. Neji had beat her with four aces. They looked between Neji and Tenten. The Nara kid flicked the string on her thong, in order to get her attention. She snapped her head to him.

"Should've cheated." He murmured.

Tenten scoffed. She stood and glared down at Neji. Now at his mercy, she walked out side and dipped herself in Ino's pool. Thank god it was heated, she would have flipped a table. Returning, Ino handed her a towel. Neji was sitting on the couch, leaning back with a smirk tattooed onto his face. Oh yeah, he thought. Ino picked up a remote and pressed the green play button.

Of course, Tenten though. A lap dance wouldn't be complete with out stripping music. Neji guestured for her to come over to him. Drying herself off she slumped over to him and mounted his lap, still wearing her red thong. Moving her hips to the music, she began to grind down and whine her was back up.

"You know you'd make a great stripper, Ten." Naruto commented as he watched.

"I agree." Sasuke nodded.

Tenten rolled her eyes as Neji hoisted her up more into his lap. Her flexibility was killer, he thought. He couldn't help but put his hands on her hips, his fingers playing with the strings of her thong. Leaning in, Tenten pressed her lips to his ear.

"I will kill you if you do it." She hissed.

Neji replied with a playful pinch on her buttocks.

"Now now, Tenten. I would never do that to you...while the others were here."

Tenten pushed her hips against his and Neji resisted the need to buck his hips forward. No, no, no. No. Just no. Not now. Not yet. No.

No.

Neji grunted. Shit, she was driving him crazy. Tenten dismounted him finally and flipped her brown hair out of her face.

"I want one!" Naruto called to her.

"Idiot," Sasuke smirked, wrapping his arms around Tenten's bare form.

"I have a few tens in my wallet." He said.

Tenten laughed and pushed the Uchiha away.

"Let's call it a night guys." Sakura suggested.

Tenten got dressed quickly. Neji led her out to his car and opened the door for her. He drove slowly, since it was the dead of night. Coming up onto her block, he made a left instead of a right. The bun head looked at him curiously as he stopped the car and covered his face with his hands, breathing out.

"Neji?" Tenten asked.

The Hyuga pulled her to the back seat of his car. He straddled her and pressed his lips against hers. She had been teasing him all day at the hang out. That nearly named lap dance was just the icing on the cake. Tenten pulled away and realized how heated he was. She reached up and kissed him again, their tongues dancing with each other. Pulling away, Neji lifted her shirt and stared her dead in the face.

"Strip for me."
