Fushigi Yuugi Fan Fiction ❯ Only In My Heart ❯ Black ( Chapter 9 )

Jenna sat her apartment, unable to sleep, brooding over the events from the night before. She had just sat down to eat a cup of ramen noodles when the doorbell rang.

Answering it, she found a short Chinese man holding a package. He spoke to her in a dialect she couldn't understand so he pointed to the address on the package. She acknowledged that it was she and turned reaching for her purse to give the man a tip. When she turned back around, he had left, leaving the package on the floor.

It was wrapped in plain brown wrapping with a red cord tied around it. She sat on the sofa opening it to find a note.

`My dearest Jenna, We will be double dating tonight with your friend Korin and Tasuki. Please accept this gift and wear it tonight. I will pick you up in the alley at 7PM. H.'

Jenna smiled as she thought. `So Korin found the mystery man.' She looked back down at the package and carefully removed the white tissue paper.

"What the hell?" She began laughing as she pulled the one-piece black leather outfit out of the wrappings. Holding it up to herself, she thought. `You have got to be kidding me.' She went to the bathroom to look in the full-length mirror and laughed again. It was a one-piece sleeveless outfit that looked like it would fit like a second skin. The zipper reached from below the waist to the bosom.

She looked down at her watch and realized it was already 6:30 so she hurriedly pulled off her jeans and sweater and slipped into the outfit. Looking at herself, she gave another laugh as she pulled the zipper up, then she lowered it a little to show off some cleavage. She shook her hair out of the ponytail she always wore and pulled some forward to hang over her shoulders. She quickly checked the little makeup she wore. Making sure it wasn't smudged and smiled at her self. `Damn you look good in black.' She mused.

Then ran back to the living room. Looking down at the package, she saw that he had even sent her a jacket and matching boots to go with the outfit. She sighed. `How did he ever get the size right?' Then she thought it must have been Korin that's the only way he would have gotten the sizes correct.

She slipped on the black ankle boots, zipping them up then put the jacket on. She grabbed her purse on the way to the door and ran down the steps to the back door.

As she waited in the alley, she saw the motorcycles come around the corner, racing each other. She guessed that the red racing bike could only belong to Tasuki and since he had a passenger, she knew it was Korin. They pulled up in front of her and Korin jumped off quickly running over to her.

Korin was dressed in an outfit that matched Tasuki's and his bike. Deep, blood red leather with many chains and zippers. Their helmets matched too, being red and white as the cycle.

Korin whispered in her ear. "Ya sorta left out the little detail that the date you had was with the man in your dreams, didn't ya?" Korin put her helmet to her waist and waited for Jenna to reply.

Jenna just stared at her. So, it was true, Korin was having the same dreams and she recognized him too. Hotohori beeped the horn on his bike bringing her attention to him and she smiled widely at him as he took his helmet off. He was grinning as his hair fell in waves about his shoulders and he shook it out. Jenna's breath caught for a moment at the beautiful sight, he was so incredibly sexy, and she turned several shades of red at the thought.

"So we meet again. Are you not going to come over here and bump into me?" He grinned at her as he threw his leg over the bike getting off and picking up an extra helmet he had attached to the back. Jenna could do nothing but stare at him in awe. He was the most attractive man she had ever seen. And he knew it, she mused to herself.

She slowly walked over towards him and he rested the helmet on his seat then reached out to pull her hair up. Holding her hair with one hand, he reached with the other to put the helmet on top of her head, tucking up the stray hair that wanted to fall down. She shivered as his hand brushed against her cheek.

He buckled the strap, then he whispered in her ear. "You look wonderful in that outfit." He glanced down at her and her eyes followed his down to her cleavage. She blushed and smiled nervously, not knowing how to respond to his words and gaze.

As if sensing her nervousness he smiled gently as he flipped the visor down over her eyes and took her by the arm. He swung his leg over the cycle and turned to look at her. "Jump on."

She nervously got on behind him as he slipped his helmet on. Then he reached behind himself taking her hands in his and wrapping them around his waist. She held on lightly until he started the cycle, then she clung to him for dear life as she had never been on a motorcycle and it scared her. He turned his head slightly as she rested her head against his shoulder and he smiled.

The ride they took was too short for Jenna. She was just starting to relax, it was exhilarating riding on the back of the cycle. They arrived at their destination, a small bar that was rather rough looking with other cycles parked out front.

Upon entering, the smell of booze and cigarettes assaulted them. Jenna and Korin both put their hands to their nose then looked at each other laughing.

The four of them went to the bar, ordered drinks, and began talking about what they would do the rest of the night. Then Korin and Tasuki sat off the side by themselves leaving Hotohori and Jenna to sit alone.

Jenna found herself sitting on the bar stool with Hotohori's arm around her shoulders with him whispering in her ear something about the shitty bar Tasuki insisted on coming to. Then suddenly a very large man approached them.

He was a dirty sort of fellow, big, bearded with greasy shoulder length hair. Wearing a t-shirt and jeans that appeared to not have been washed in a long time, he was just nasty.

Putting his arms around both Jenna and Hotohori's shoulders, he spoke in a gruff voice. "Why don't you ladies join me and my friends." Tasuki and Korin saw the man coming over to their friends and immediately took guard on either side of them. Hotohori slowly stood up and turned to stare the man in the eyes.

"But I do not think you are my type." He gave the man a big grin as the man quickly took a step backwards realizing his mistake.

"Geez, do you really think an oaf like that could actually pick up women?" Korin laughed as the man walked back to the table where his two friends were sitting.

Hotohori smiled at Jenna as he pushed her hair to the side to whisper in her ear. "I always seem to have this problem." He laughed. "Everyone thinks I'm so beautiful." He winked at her as Tasuki rolled his eyes overhearing the last part. They all began laughing.

"Hey! You boys better leave. We don't want no girlie men around here." One of the men at the table yelled over to them.

Tasuki straightened up and slowly turned around, tilting his head and giving a fanged grin. "Just who ya think ya calling girlie?" He flexed his muscles. Korin grabbed his arm telling him to sit down. But it was too late.

Hotohori grabbed Jenna's arm indicating to her to make for the door but then pushed her behind him as he saw the men coming at them.

Tasuki found himself reaching over his shoulder for something but had no idea what or why he had done that just as the first man tackled him knocking him against Korin.

Korin grabbed the man by the back of the neck and threw him backward into his friends sending them all flying into a table in a heap.

Tasuki looked at Korin. "Damn girl, where'd that come from?" He grinned at her as she nodded that the men were coming back their way.

Mr. Ugly that had hit on Hotohori and Jenna took a swing at Hotohori. He ducked shaking his head as he punched the man in the stomach pushing him back into his friends.

Jenna just stood there, in shock. Her second date and a fight breaks out. Maybe this wasn't a good idea. She ducked as a bottle of beer flew past her head. She watched as the men and her friend fought side by side as if it was choreographed.

Korin yelled. "I've. Had. Enough. Of this!" With one quick push, she sent the man she was fighting with flying into the others and they all crashed to floor. She looked around at Tasuki grinning and brushing her hands together.

Hotohori grabbed Jenna's hand. "Let's get out of here. Now!" He pulled her towards the door as Tasuki and Korin followed behind. The men were starting to get up again as they ran outside jumping on their motorcycles.

Tasuki turned his bike around as the bar door flew open and the men came running out. He grinned at them as he drove his bike over to where there was a row of cycles lined up. Korin put her foot out kicking them over and the bikes tumbled like a row of dominoes.

Then they sped off into the night laughing.
