Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Slayers Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ The Practice Room ❯ 1 ( Chapter 1 )

*Authors notes* This is my very first fic so let me know wattcha think. Post it in a review or email me emerald3852@yahoo.com Basically my friend Abri and I were bored at a symphony rehearsal so we started coming up with alter egos for everybody (hence the french horn player) The Practice Room will be constantly moving locations (it just makes it more fun that way ^_^) So don't be all confused when the location jumps around in every chapter. Some of the characters may be OCC but oh well, it's my story right? I haven't see most of the animes portrayed here and am just going on a lot of info from Abri.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story. The characters aren't mine, Abri appeared at her own free will (this story was mostly her idea to begin with). Blah blah blah don't sue me and all the other disclaimer stuffies.

THE PRACTICE ROOM

Chapter 1

A sleek black and chrome motorcycle speeds across a deserted desert highway carrying two passengers, both female. The driver's wearing a black leather jacket zipped halfway up slightly exposing her black lace bra, black leather jeans and high heeled black leather boots that come up to her knees. The passenger's wearing the same outfit the only difference being her jacket is zipped up a little further. The sun gleamed off of their black and silver helmets and the horizon reflected in their sunglasses as they continue to speed down the highway getting closer to their destination. You would think that they would be incredibly hot but due to the fact that they are the main characters and grew up in the desert the black apparel doesn't faze them.

They pull up in front of a sleek looking building and get off the bike. The two remove their helmets letting their auburn hair blow in the breeze. (No, they don't have helmet hair!) They place the helmets on the seat of the bike and walk to the door.

"Hey Vegeta and Goku. How are you guys doing today?" The driver asks.

"We're good Kris, how 'bout you and Abri?" Goku responds.

"We're great!" Abri says running her fingers through her hair.

Vegeta knocks on the door twice and you can hear a multitude of guns and other weaponry being set down. Vegeta and Goku open the doors for Kris and Abri. They greet their security entourage and walk into the club. Immediately they are flanked by their three personal bodyguards. Xelloss (guarding both), Sage (guarding Abri), and Nephlite (guarding Kris). Kris and Abri smile at each other and move off to their respective changing rooms.

Minutes later the two emerge in their club outfits. Abri, now wearing a silver halter dress with a slit up to her knee on the left side and shinny silver go-go boots, takes Sage's left arm and Xelloss' right while Kris, now wearing a sleek midnight blue silk gown with a plunging neckline and two slits up either side stopping mid-calf with matching shoes that have silk ribbons crisscrossing up her legs, takes Xelloss' left arm and Nephlite's right. They walk into the main area of the club and sit on the barstools at the center of the bar. Sage sits to the right of Abri and Nephlite sits to the left of Kris. Xelloss has mysteriously disappeared, again.

"I hate it when he does that." Kris says turning around and facing the bartender.

"You want de usual or someding different?" Gambit asks in his seductive French accent.

Kris thinks for a moment, "the usual please."

"Sure ding, Abri?"

Abri turns around catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She admires her hair that is being held up by delicate chopsticks with red Japanese characters written on them. Soft ringlets frame her face. Pleased with her three sentences of fame, she turns back to Gambit. "The usual is fine, thanks Gambit."

Gambit goes off to get the drinks. Kris moves closer to Nephlite and rests her head on his shoulder. Sage puts an arm around Abri's waist protectively and kisses her cheek. Gambit returns then with two HUGE glasses of cherry coke containing several cherries floating in each. Kris removes one of them, puts the cherry in Nephlite's mouth and the stem in hers. Seconds later she pulls the knotted stem from her mouth and places it on the bar top.

Nephlite looks at her surprised. "I never knew you could do that!"

Kris smiles up at him. "I told you I had many hidden talents." Nephlite leans in and kisses her to see just how skilled she really is.

Sage whistles loudly at the two who are still passionately lip locked.

Nephlite pulls away blushing. "Sorry" He mumbles.

"You're so cute when you blush." Kris whispers to him.

Abri elbows Sage in the ribs. "Be nice."

Sage rubs where Abri hit him, "Ouch! That hurt."

"Aww, poor baby. Want me to kiss it better?"

"Yes!" Abri moves to kiss his ribs but Sage intercepts the kiss and the two of them pick up where Kris and Nephlite left off.

Nephlite opens his mouth to respond but Kris puts her hand over it.

"Don't interrupt them."

Nephlite pulls her hand away. "But they interrupted us, it's only fair!"

Kris kisses his cheek, "Don't worry about it. I'll make it up to you." She turns and faces Gambit. "Can I have some mozzarella sticks?"

"No problem." He goes into the back and emerges with a HUGE plate of the luscious Italian treat.

"Thanks!" Kris starts munching on the recently delivered food.

Abri, smelling the food, breaks away from Sage and starts devouring the food as fast as Kris.

Nephlite looks at Sage shaking his head. "As soon as food is in the picture they forget all about us."

"Yeah, tell me about it."

Kris and Abri shoot evil looks at Nephlite and Sage and continue eating.

Once the mozzarella sticks and Cherry Coke are gone Kris and Abri turn to their boys.

"I wanna dance." Abri tells Sage dragging him out to the dance floor.

"C'mon Nephlite." Kris leads him out to the dance floor as well.

The couples join the school-to-remain-nameless symphony members on the dance floor. Suddenly the French horn player with the unparalleled voice gets up on stage and starts singing "Dance With You" by Live. (If you've never heard this song, shame on you. It is one of the best love songs! Anyways, back to the story.) Nephlite wraps his arms around Kris's waist and pulls her close. Kris wraps her arms around his neck and lays her head on his shoulder. He softly begins singing the song to Kris and she closes her eyes enjoying the moment of peace. It's not an easy job running the hottest nightclub around. The song ends and Kris gives Nephlite a deep passionate kiss. A fast song takes over and they all resume their dancing.

After many songs Abri starts getting thirsty.

"I need water. I'll be right back." She tells Sage.

Abri turns around and starts heading for the bar when she suddenly runs into something. She looks down wanting to know what blocked her path so suddenly.

"Oh, hey R2." She picks up a couple glass bottles with neon blue and green swirling on them from the tray he's carrying. "Thanks."

"Beep Bloop Bleep"

She walks back to Sage as R2 rolls off.

"That was fast." Sage remarks as Abri hands him a bottle of water.

"What can I say? It was my good looks."

Sage tosses some water on Abri. "Oh, hush."

Abri tosses some of her water on Sage, giggling.

"You're gonna be like that, huh?" Sage dumps his entire bottle of water on Abri's head.

"You're gonna get it now." Abri grabs another elaborate bottle of water off R2-D2's tray as he conveniently rolls by and dumps both bottles on Sage.

Kris glances over at the two and starts giggling. She takes the half empty bottle of water out of Nephlite's hand and dumps it all over him.

"Hey! What did you do that for?"

Kris points at Abri and Sage, laughing.

Nephlite smiles and pours a full bottle of water on Kris's head and down her back.

By now the school-to-remain-nameless symphony members have caught sight of this. "Water fight!" Everyone starts grabbing for as many water bottles as they can find.

At that moment White Blaze and Black Blaze come running out of the weapons room skidding and sliding all over the wet slick dance floor. They finally manage to get their footing and jump on the bar top breaking the delicate ornament glasses. Gambit starts yelling and cursing at them in French, charging cards, etc destroying the room even more so. Tamahome and Chichri finally come in just noticing the tigers' absence. They go skidding across the dance floor in the wake of destruction. They manage to finally catch up with the tigers while they are paused lapping up some spilt Cherry Coke.

Vegeta and Goku, hearing the commotion, come in. Vegeta looks at the surrounding mess and looks at Goku. "Damn you Kakarrot!"

Goku looks blankly, no surprise there, at Vegeta. "This isn't my fault!" He stops and thinks a moment. "Wait! I know how we can clean this up really fast!"

Everyone looks at him, shocked that he might really have an idea. "Alright, Kakarrot, what is it?"

"Tasuki, you have that fire powered fan right?"

"Yeah…" He replies just a little cautious.

"Well you can use that to dry up all the water." Goku stands smiling and proud.

Everyone in the crowd turns to each other and shrugs their shoulders. "Might as well." A few guys say.

"Ok! Tamahome, stand back!" Tasuki says with a pyro grin.

For some odd reason everyone shields their eyes and are very luckily not blinded. After a few moments they open them to find a very upsetting sight. And it's not that Tamahome didn't get fried for once.

"TASUKI!!!!" Bellows Abri. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY PRACTICE ROOM?!"

"How was I supposed to know that would happen!?!"

"Ok everybody out!" Nephlite shouts over the crowd that is becoming frantic. A few Symphony-to-remain-nameless members have been surrounded by a ring of fire so Nephlite uses his floating power to set them down safely outside.

Everybody starts heading for the doors with the exception of the DJ. "What about all of my equipment? I can't just leave it here to burn!"

Kris and Abri run over to him. "C'mon, just leave it. You're more important." Abri tells him.

"But I worked so hard for all this stuff."

"We'll buy you new stuff if it means that much to you now let's go!" Kris starts dragging him away when a piece of flaming ceiling falls in their path trapping them. "Uhhhh, we've got a problem here."

Meanwhile, everyone is outside watching the building they love so much burn to the ground.

"Nephlite, have you seen Abri? I can't find her anywhere." Sage asks in a very worried voice, and not just because he'll be in trouble later for losing her.

"I haven't seen her or Kris. You don't think that maybe..." Both Nephlite and Sage look at the burning building. They run up to what were the doors and attempt to enter the building.

"It's too hot! We can't get in!"

"Wait! Ryo has that armor that lets him walk through fire and lava."

"Yeah but he incinerates anything he touches. Not such a good thing if we want our girls rescued."

"If anything happens to either of them, I'll never forgive myself." Nephlite says with much grief.

Just then the DJ, Kris and Abri show up in front of Nephlite and Sage.

"What.... how.... uh.... wait.... how did you guys get here? I thought we lost you guys forever." Sage asks in disbelief as he spins Abri around hugging her like there is no tomorrow.

Nephlite wraps Kris in a protective hug and gives her a deep passionate kiss. Xelloss appears behind the recently rescued three. "I brought them here. You don't think I'm their bodyguard for nothing, do you?"

Everyone goes and welcomes back the two owners of the once illustrious club. As the crowd watches the Practice Room burn to the ground Kris walks over to the bike and grabs something out of it. She tosses it to Abri and grabs one for herself. They go and stand behind Sage, Nephlite, and the recently returned Xelloss, emerging moments later in their previously described driving outfits.

"Hey! Water powers! Snap out of it and do your job! You guys should know better!" Abri yells over the crowd.

"Oh yeah, sorry." They mumble and get to work putting out the fire.

Kris gives Nephlite a powerful kiss. "I'll see you later." She whispers in his ear as she moves towards the bike.

"Hey, you still owe me!" Nephlite yells at her. Kris just turns around and smiles watching Nephlite melt a little. "I'm glad you're alright." He whispers to himself as she walks away.

Abri gives Sage a tight hug and a kiss. "Bye for now." She whispers and gently nibbles his ear. "I'll see you later," Abri winks at Sage giving him a knowing look.

Abri walks over to the bike and her and Kris put on their helmets and sunglasses. Kris revs the bike, and Abri climbs on and wraps her arms around Kris's waist.

As they drive off into the sunset someone asks, "Where's the next Practice Room gonna be?"

"Sore wa himitsu desu." Xelloss replies with a smile and a wink before he disappears again.

The scene fades and you can still hear a very upset Vegeta yelling, "DAMN YOU KAKARROT!"
