Principles of Lust

Precept Three: Power of Lust

__________________________________

Seventeen years come and gone…

Rin sat cross legged on the couch of the group dressing room waiting for the last member to finish in make-up. It was Seven's first television appearance. True they were just starting out in the pro circuit, but any publicity was good publicity. She ran her hands through the short red locks of her disguise. Red hair and green eyes was so much sexier/mischievous than brown hair and eyes. At least she thought so. If she was going to play the role of sex goddess, she was not going to make her mother happy and do it in her own form as herself. Mother…that was another touchy subject for her; up until puberty, Tsubaki had nothing to do with her. Now she could not get away. Some how the woman got it into her head to make her daughter into her image. Rin was not having it. She refused to drain the life force out of people at the height of their pleasure. That was just wrong.

“Thinking of her, Lust?” Kagura asked shaking her head. “I need you and the others to focus on this appearance. You will have the interview then play.”

“Yes, I know Greed,” she rolled her eyes playfully. “You worked really hard getting us this and called in favors. We appreciate you.”

“Yes we do,” the other members chimed in. Lust stood and walked over to her band mates. She linked arms with them and smiled. “You can depend on us not to embarrass you.”

Kagura pulled out her fan and held it out towards them. “We shall see.”

“Two minutes, Ladies. I need you on set now,” the stage manager said opening the door. He ushered the girls out of the room and on to the set. “Thirty seconds.” The girls sat down on the set made to look like a bar. The host came up and stood behind the bar. “In 5,4,3,2,1…”

Cameras lit up. “Welcome to the underground. I am Dagan Cross and today we bring you more up and coming bands. Today I am here with Seven. Introduce yourselves girls…”

“Pride,” a red headed girl greeted.

“Wrath,” an ebony haired girl grinned.

“I'm Envy,” a bubbly girl with black hair waved.

“Lust,” Rin greeted smiling.

“Well you've got me hot and bothered,” Dagan quipped before asking his first question. “I gotta' ask. You call yourselves Seven but there are only four of you, what happened?”

“We lost two members and our manger makes the seventh,” Lust answered. “We named her Greed appropriately.”

“Obviously,” Dagan commented. “You girls are fairly popular on the night club circuit. You told our producers that's where you all met. I would love to hear that story.”

“That one's my fault, Dagan,” Pride said leaning inward. “I was in another band and we broke up right before our gig. They left me to deal with the audience and the promotions director. He had already paid us half and I could not go back on the deal. The situation looked really bad so I yelled that anyone who could sing to get on stage and Lust appeared.”

“So you did the show with a guitarist and a singer?” Dagan asked.

“Not quite,” Pride answered. `”I started playing the song `Control' by Puddle of Mud, since I did not have any, and Lust began to sing. Everyone got quiet and she waggled her finger out in the audience. Next thing I know we had a bass player, drums, keyboard, and another guitar. It was freaky.”

“You're pulling my leg.”

“It's true,” Envy added. “The other girls quit after that performance and we've been together every since. That was a year ago.”

“Cool then show everyone the power of Seven,” he replied leading into the musical segment. The girls walked over to the stage and picked up their instruments.

“We call this song “Up against the Wall,” Lust announced as the first couple of bars of music started.

“You got me trapped so you can steal my soul
But it doesn't matter without you
I can never be whole
Up against the wall
Your body next to mine
Up against the wall
We'll be one for this last time…”

On the monitor, Kagura watched the group's performance with a grin. Her sister was getting even better at this. Lust's power of influence mesmerized audiences and the others backed her up beautifully. Lust picked well. The story may have seemed like they all met with just dumb luck, but it was not. Lust used her influence to reach out to the most capable people in the audience. It was a shame the girl would not use her powers for personal matters like getting laid. She certainly could use the release. Lust was nearly twenty-three years old and never let a guy so much as peck her on the cheek if she perceived he was interested. Lust did everything in her power not to be like her mother and Tsubaki did everything in her power to turn her. Sometimes even she got dragged along in order to comfort Lust during “lessons.” Even she had to admit they were demeaning, but informative for the future. “Those lessons on how to strip have yet to fail,” she smirked as her plans for the night with her latest boyfriend faded into her mind.

“So, Greed,” Lust asked as they walked up in victory, “Did we disappoint?'

“Would I have brought you here if I thought you might?” she asked raising an eyebrow. She smirked. “You have the rest of the day off. meeting and practice tomorrow at eleven a.m.”

The girls cheered and went towards the dressing room to get their things and go home. “So where do we go from here,” Lust asked looking at the two youngest members of the group. “Kagome, have you decided what you are going to do?”

Kagome/Envy paused. “The band is important to me,” she began.

“Before you go any further, we talked about this,” Ayame/Pride sighed. “We can't be strong if everyone isn't happy.”

“I want everyone to be happy,” Lust replied, “so tell us the truth.”

Kagome looked towards Sango/Wrath then the others. “I want both. I want to go to Tokyo University and study music, and I want to play with Seven.”

“And you Sango?” Lust asked.

“Rin, you, Ayame, and Kagome are like sisters to me but I would like to move back to Japan to be closer to my brother.”

“Ayame?” Rin asked.

“I am nomadic by nature,” she grinned, “I can live anywhere.”

Rin smiled. “It looks like were about to relocate.” The others grinned and hugged; glad they were not breaking up. “I say let's celebrate tonight.”

“I agree,” Ayame chimed in.

“Then it's settled. We will meet at Tier at 11 p.m.” Kagome and Sango nodded then left.

“So what are you going to wear tonight?” Ayame asked conversationally.

Rin shrugged. “Something sexy and pink.”

“Pink does not equal sexy. It's sweet like I am a virgin please be gentle.”

Green eyes darkened for a moment as she pulled her bag strap on her shoulder. “It isn't a favorite but I love trying new things.”

“Hey, what's that?” she asked touching an old scar on Rin's neck. “A love injury from some hot sex?” she teased. “You can tell me. You have to tell me!”

“Sorry to disappoint you, but I got that in a fight when I was five years old. It just did not heal for some reason.”

Ayame's face fell. “I was hoping someone else in our group beside Kagura was getting action. Oh well maybe our luck will be better in Japan.”

“Don't worry you'll meet someone, have pups, and live happily ever after, Ayame.”

“That sounded kind of sad when you said it. Is there something wrong?”

Rin shook her head. “Just hungry and tired. I am going to take a nap before we go out. I'll see ya' later.”

“Okay, I…” Rin left the room. She could not take it anymore, talk of intimacy and relationships. She would never have that. Getting close to someone in that way meant killing them. Her mother taught her the ins and outs of that. A succubus' lot in life was to feed off the life force of others at the height of sexual pleasure. The more intense the pleasure, the more life force that can be drained. For every life taken a white strand of hair would appeared as a sign of the increase in power. Given that information that her mother got around and was quite powerful for her hair was stark white, with the exception of one strand. Her father still walked the earth, despite the many attempts her mother made. Now that was just gross.

Rin shook her head. Her parents doing the deed was not a picture she wanted to see. She was maladjusted as it was between the two. Which was worse, knowing that you were amusing to your father like some sort of jester or getting the karma sutra for you twelfth birthday with lessons? The latter. At least her father left well enough alone unlike her mother.

She opened the door of her flat sometime later. Her disguise wore off as she shut the door and she sighed. A pile of envelopes crunched underneath her feet. Rent money from her tenants she supposed. Two years ago their father gave them each one hundred thousand U.S. dollars and told them to handle their lives. That money was to last until they were two hundred years old. They each went their separate ways financially. She formed the square corporation (L7) last year and managed her properties. She now owned four buildings in New York and one in Japan. Everything pretty much ran itself and only required weekly meetings leaving her free to spend time with her only love, singing.

Rin leaned against the door and slid down it. her cheek flushed and she felt warm suddenly. A laugh escaped her as she shook her head. Two if her tenants were partaking in activities she never could. A cold shower was in order. Today was slowly turning into `one of those days.' The hopeless romantic who can never be close…

“Better get that shower,” she said to herself. She started down the hall when she saw the machine blinking. Rin hit the button then walked down the hall.

“Rin, this maybe a band celebration, but we want you to come as yourself. See ya' tonight,” Kagome's cheerful voice carried through the flat.

“And be sexy!” Sango chimed in playfully. “We're going to go. Love ya'!”

The machine beeped three times in indication that that was the last message. A smirk flew across her face as she stepped into the shower. They were right. She was just going to cut loose and enjoy the night. “I love you guys too…”

3-3-3

Four girls dumped their belongings at their table and motioned for the wait staff. “I'll have a shot of Jimmy,” Ayame smiled then looked towards Rin,” she'll have a leg spreader. It's a special day and we want her to have fun.” Rin shook her head but Ayame ignored her. “We talked and agreed. You need to get laid or drunk. We have two designated drivers. One is a miko and the other is from the demon slayer line, I don't think we have to worry about to getting out of hand.”

“The third option is telling everything you've been holding back and don't dance around the truth either,” Sango added.

Rin smiled nervously. “Just keep the guys away from me no matter what and you have a deal.”

“Kill joy,” Kagome smirked.

“Fine then for the entire night you are Rin our lesbian friend who is not interested in sex.” Rin shot them all a look as their drinks arrived. A pinkish drink was placed in front of her. She took a sip and smiled. “This is pretty good.”

“Two virgin ones for our younger friends,” Ayame said as a good song at the karaoke bar started to play. “this guy isn't half bad.” Wednesday night was `Pair Night.' Anyone who was willing to grow a pair could perform on the stage. The crowd showed absolutely no mercy. Mess the dance groove up and you were kicked out of the club for the night. With that big of a risk, you needed a pair of melons.

“Guess he'll be staying the night,” Ayame winked. She downed her drink and sighed in pleasure. “I am going to have some fun, be back. Oh and keep ordering for Rin. We'll liven her up.”

“I don't need to be livened up,” she argued as the waiter appeared again. “Two virgins for the jailbait and one for you.”

“I didn't order this one,” she protested. The waiter pointed towards a blond sitting at the bar grinning. “He bought it for you with his compliments since it's your first time.”

“I have been here before,” Rin snapped. The waiter shrugged. True she came in her stage persona and not as herself. Why did everyone treat her like some helpless charity case just because she didn't go wild like the Ayame? So what if she was going to spend her best centuries of her life alone with low level cat demons to keep her company. She was not boring. “I do get out!” she downed both drinks.

“Pace yourself,” Sango warned. “Demon or not, we do not want your to poison yourself.”

“Why not, you seem to think I need more fun in my life?”

Kagome put her hand on top of Rin's. “You have been down lately and today's been the worse. You won't talk to us and Kagura keeps saying that you just need to get laid.” Rin flushed.

“Actually she said `your cherry popped'” Sango commented. Kagome glared at her.

“If that's the case,” the waited grinned, “I'll get you one on the house.” He walked away.

“I forgot he was there,” Kagome flushed.

“We all did,” Rin sighed. “I'm going to the bar.”

The two friends looked at each other then nodded. “I'll take Rin.”

“And I got Ayame,” Sango grinned and headed off to the dance floor.

Kagome moved towards the bar that seemed to swallow Rin. No doubt the waiter told every guy in the place Rin was looking for a good time. She was even more worried about her friend. Instead of this being fun, this was turning into a chemical therapy. “Move it or loose it,” she elbowed her way to the bar. By the time she got there it was four leg spreaders, 8 shots of tequila, 3 margaritas, and six shots of vodka later; all in demon speed. “This is out of control,” Kagome muttered as Rin did three blow job shots in a row (a traffic light). “Rin, you don't have to prove anything.”

“My name's Lust,” Rin smiled looking at her. She caressed Kagome's cheek and moved forward.

Kagome's cheeks flushed as she jerked away. “Stop that! You're being a perv.”

Rin grinned, “You have no idea.” She hopped down from the stool. “Follow me,” she said walking towards the stage.

Kagome's jaw dropped. All of the guys were actually following Rin to the stage. “I better get Ayame and Sango.” As she walked away from the bar the opening lines of “Buttons” played. “Oh no.”

Rin hopped onto the stage and smiled. “Wait your turn,” a girl with short spiky hair warned.

“Let me borrowed the mic for a moment.” She walked over to her and casually held out her hand to take it. Blue eyes glazed over. She happily gave the microphone over just as the vocals started. “Loosen up my buttons…” Rin sang to the audience as she danced.

“What the hell is she doing?” Sango asked. Ayame turned around. It looked like Rin took their advice too much to heart. “Well that killed my buzz,” she moaned. “I thought Kagome was supposed to be watching her.”

“I need your help. Rin is out of control.”

“Let's keep an eye on her. It might not go further than this,” Ayame suggested.

“We need to get closer to then,” Sango motioned for the other girls to follow her through the gyrating crowd. Rin certainly did not loose her performance edge in her inebriation. The crowd loved her especially the guys. Of course the performance was enough to make anyone blush and everyone felt it on various levels. “I didn't know she could move like that,” Sango said into Kagome's ear.

“Me either. We wanted her to have fun not act schizo.” Kagome shook her head as the song ended. Rin jumped from the stage as the next song started and waggled her finger towards a guy with dark hair.

Three sets of eyes widened at their provocative friend. She was not even this bad on stage. It was time to stop this. The thought of how upset Rin would be when she was sober again ran through their heads. They started wading through the crowd of dancers and spectators slowly being separated in the process until only Kagome remained. She looked back at the others who were making slow progress and nodded. “I am going in.” she infiltrated the center of attention… Rin making out with a guy on the dance floor.

Kagome balled her fist and stalked over to her band mate. “Rin Oni…” her sentence trailed as crimson/brown eyes pulled away and focused on her. A warm sensation settled over again and became more intense. “Kagome,” Rin smiled moving towards her.

“You have to stop this, Rin.”

Rin touched Kagome's shoulders and her eyes drifted shut. The girl was exuding more life force than usual and she was falling under her spell. “You care about me?” she asked brushing her lips across Kagome's cheeks.

The younger girl flushed furiously and tried to pull away when Rin grabbed her face and kissed her. Dark eyes widened then glazed over as intimate fantasies played out in her mind.

“Hey what about me?” the guy asked. Rin took him by the wrist and pulled him so that she was sandwiched between them. “I will have you both.”

“Okay,” he agreed happily. Taking both of their hands, she took them to a more secluded area as the crowd closed behind them.

“Have a seat,” Rin commanded as she pushed him into a chair. She sat on his lap with her back to him. “Touch me.” The man was only too glad to do so and allowed his hands to roam. Rin pulled Kagome to her and kissed her again. “Now I will have your power, my sweet miko.” Rin ripped the front of Kagome's dress and pulled the girl to her. She sucked her breath lightly when she felt her other lovers fingers enter her. This should be interesting. She touched Kagome's breast lightly. “You may touch me too.”

Kagome's hands ran up and down Rin's shoulders. Light fingertips brushed a crescent shaped mark and Rin hissed in pain. It had been throbbing for the past twenty minutes and now it was searing. She pushed Kagome away as she grabbed her shoulder, Plain brown eyes fluttered several times; pain often times brought about sobering moments.

A gasp escaped her as she felt a hand under her shirt and another finger sliding inside of her. Her eyes widened and she looked towards Kagome crumpled to the floor coming back to herself. Her dress was ripped. Shame…mounds of it settled over Rin. She had been preparing to kill her best friend and a stranger. “Stop,” she said pulling away from the man pleasing her. “I don't want to hurt you.”

“Hurt me, baby,” he said licking his fingers, “I'm just getting started. I love it rough too if that's what you want.”

The mark on her shoulder seared again. Brown eyes turned crimson again. “Forget me and go back to the party,” she said seductively.

“Anything for you, baby,” He said then left their little hide-a-way to go out onto the dance floor.

“Ah,” Rin cried out as the pain soared again. This was getting unbearable. Rin fell to her knees.

“Rin?” Kagome asked. “What…are you alright?” she moved towards her.

“Leave her alone, miko,” a voice commanded. Kagome paused in her actions unable to resist the owner's voice. “Bit off more than you can chew, Lust?” Tsubaki asked standing over her daughter. “I do applaud you for going after an elite target. Just when I started to give up on you, you surprise me. I see why your father is so amused by you.” She lifted Rin by the chin and held her. “I will bail you out this time,” she said as they faded away.

To be continued

Next time, The Woes of Lust:

“I am not like you.”

“Oh I am not so sure. Last night's little escapade showed me different. You're a nasty little girl…”
