Chapter 4: The Beautiful Letdown

Shae's POV

I stood up and look from one of my friends to the other. Get to know them, huh? I wouldn't mind getting to know Hiei…he's fine as hell….wait! Must not think of him like that! We're working together, damn it! Must act professional. So I made a suggestion - this place was giving me the willies anyway. "Why don't we go back to our place? Some of us need to get cleaned up, change and such." Boy did we ever. Cymarel had grass stains on her shirt, as did some of the others. We all needed showers.

Cymarel nodded in approval. She usually did. "After that, we could decide what to do from there."

The guys exchanged glances. Some lecherous, others indifferent. Hiei fell into the indifferent category. Yusuke agreed. "I suppose we could do that. Gives us a chance to see your place. Is it all girlie, decorated in pinks and flowers." We all laughed. My answer was a loud no. "Alinna and I share a room, and it's decorated in burgundy and black. Cymarel and Riana have there room decorated in blues, and Yune and Sachiko prefer white. Very white." Alinna smirked. "And in the sitting room, we sport a big screen TV, complete with DVD and surround sound, a slammin' stereo system, and a wall full of nothing but movies and CDs." Yusuke and Hige, began to look very jealous. Alinna loved rubbing our lifestyle into people's faces, and I loved her for it.

Yune was growing impatient. This place bugged her as much as it did me. "Let's just go, already, ok?"

Half an hour later, we were done giving the grand tour, and I was in the shower. Washing away the tension, sweat, and tears, I finally began to feel like I had some semblance of control once more. The cinnamon-scented soap I used cleared my head a bit. I took my time washing my hair, massaging my scalp and rinsing thoroughly. With a sigh, I turned off the faucet and stepped onto the floor mat. After towel drying my hair a bit, I wrapped my towel around my body, put my clothing down the laundry chute, and walked out of the bathroom, down the hall, and into my room, where Alinna was sitting alone checking the website to our favorite club. I closed the door and began to dress. Of course, as it would happen, I had only managed to get my bra and underwear on before Alinna let out a shriek.

"What the fuck, chicky?" I nearly came out of my skin, so I got snippy, at first. Alinna didn't notice. "Switchfoot and A Perfect Circle are going to be at the club tonight….wait, make that those two plus Jimmy Eat World." (AN: My fav bands…I put them in here as a tribute to them and all their fans). That's when I let out a yelp, and in that instant, everyone present in the house was in our room, Hiei included. Not that it was a big deal…I mean come on, bikinis consist of no more than what I was currently wearing.

"Woman, what is your problem?" Hiei demanded of me. Funny how I wasn't so scared of him now. While my mind was pondering Hiei, Alinna answered for me. "We are all going clubbing!" She relayed the events at the club that evening, which made all of us females excited, even though my excitement manifests itself only slightly. The guys seemed indifferent, although Yusuke and Hige seemed happy to be going out anywhere.

So the rest of the afternoon was devoted to getting ready. The guys left to go shower and get dressed, but promised to be back by 7. Immediately, I zeroed in on my closet. I chose my favorite pants - black pants that flared below the knee, only they were skin tight from waist to knee, showing off my ass, where the best feature was hidden. In normal lighting, my pants were plain black, but under black light, there was a dragon. Its head was situated in front, at my bikini line, and wrapped around, across my butt, then winding around one leg. I loved these pants, simply because of the dragon, and the fact that I do not know of another soul who own a pair like them. My top was a burgundy tank-top, very simple. I left my hair down, sleek and shiny, and put on my make up as always - black eyeliner, no eyeshadow, and lip gloss. My appearance met with my approval. And apparently Hiei's - I did not miss the look on his face. I walked beside him as we made our way to the club. I wore my combat boots, which was good, cuz my feet wouldn't hurt. The guys just looked around, eyes wide, when we entered our favorite place to hang. Black lights on, and dj missing up some music as the place waited for the bands to start. Alinna, who looked awesome in her black tank top, short black skirt that laced up the sides, and knee high boots, grabbed my arm. "Sorry Hiei, we're going to go dance. You guys go find us a booth…we'll be back." She dragged me to the floor, where she started dancing with one of her friends, and I got the pleasure of getting my groove on with Spook, one of the regulars. He's good for a dance, but other than that, no thanks.

Alinna's POV

Between me, Shae, Spook, and the guy I was dancing with, who went by Q, we had the attention of most of the clubbers. I could hear Yune and Cymarel cheering us on. When the song ended, I dragged Shae back to our group. They had found us a booth, so I shoved Shae down on the seat next to Hiei, nearly putting her in his lap. Ooo, did she ever glare at me. I pulled up a chair and sat down. Yusuke nodded his head in approval. "Well, you two certainly can dance." I just grinned in response.

Hige raised an eyebrow. "What's that on your waist?" Oh, my pride. That's all. So I stood and lifted my shirt to reveal my tattoo. Smirks, nods, and chuckling all around. "Shae has one too…" Shae sighed as she stood and turned her back to the group, lifting her shirt to reveal hers, located on the small of her back. I didn't miss the interesting flash in Hiei's eyes. Not for a second.

We sat around and shot the shit until stage time, at which point we dragged the guys down to the stage - getting front row view. Hell yeah. First band up was Jimmy Eat World - one of our favorites. So naturally, when they played their song `Pain', we all really got into it. The guys seemed to be enjoying themselves…well, they were certainly amused by us girls anyway. Not that I mind Hige's attention, but hey….

Shae and I were singing at the top of our fool lungs.

It takes my pain away

It's a lie

A kiss with open eyes

And she's not breathing back

Anything but bother me

It takes my pain away

Never mind

These are horrid times

Oh oh oh

I won't let it bother me

It takes my pain away!

I grabbed Hige by the arm. "Come on! Sing with me!" Hige started to laugh. "I don't know the word, Alinna." I shrugged. Who the hell cared anyway. He just needed to make some noise. "You heard what I just sang, Wolfy, sing it with me." So he did, much to everyone's surprise, or amusement. I glanced over at Shae…my roomie, my love - well, in a non prison movie sort of way - was still singing, and had captured Hiei's attention fully. If he wasn't careful, he'd drool.

"Hige, have you ever gone crowd surfing?" I gave him my own version of a wolfish grin. Damn he was fine…

"No! What the hell is that?"

I gave him a wicked grin. Shae had heard the whole thing. We exchanged glances and picked him up, chucking him on top of the crowd who were more than happy to pass him to the back, despite his protests. Shae gave me a boost and I followed. God, I loved this. It was fun - and the look on Hige's face was priceless.

When we reached the back of the crowd, we stopped to catch our breath. Hige was the first to speak. "I feel rather violated. I groped by people I didn't know!" I couldn't help but laugh. "It's worse for the girls…unless you're like me. I love crowd surfing."

I grabbed his hand, enjoying the look on his face. "Come on…let's go back by the others."

Kurama's POV

Curse Koenma to the 7th circle of Hell. He had to partner me with a very attractive young woman. A very attractive young woman who just so happened to be beginning her fertile time. Damn it.

She smelled very good…like honeysuckle and fertility. Yes, there is a smell for that. And her scent would get stronger, peaking in 3 days. Youko was already babbling away in my head. What I wouldn't give just for one day of nothing but humanity. Stupid fox…

Come on, Kurama. You know you want her. Let's just talk her into going to the bathroom for a bit…

The bathroom? She has more self respect than that. Youko began to laugh. She should…look at her.

God, I hate when he's right. Especially about these things. Her hair is beautiful, waist length. The light was playing on her natural highlights. And the way she was wearing it - the top part was pulled back and plaited into a love knot - making her look elegant, as well as sexy. Her eyes sparkled as she joined her friends in song - whatever song it was, all I could focus on was her and the prattling youko in my head. She was a natural beauty, wearing nothing on her face but lip gloss, and of course, the damn youkai spirit was trying to guess what flavor it was. Her clothing fit her well - a plain white halter top that had Angel written on it in light blue, and a cute white skirt that was 2 inches above her knees. She did look like an angel. And my pants are too tight…

Damn it!

The next band took the stage - Cymarel said it was called Switchfoot. And she was singing with them. Her voice…I love that voice, and she is slowing driving me mad.

Welcome to the planet

Welcome to existence

Everyone's here

Everybody's watching you now

Everybody waits for you now

What happens next

I dare you to move!

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move!

Like today never happened

Today never happened before.

I'm going to move alright. If Youko has anything to say about it. And frankly, I don't know if I'll last the week. Some kid beside me bumped into me, which sent me closer to Cymarel. She didn't mind - actually, she smiled. A dazzling sight. Youko was squawking at me now.

Do something!

No! I'm not going to jump her here!

I didn't say to jump her, but now that I know you want to, just put your arm around her waist.

I was incredulous. She might try to drown me. But I did it anyway - trying to remain casual, not possessive, and was surprise to find that she leaned against me, still singing. Like my damned hormones.

Welcome to the fallout

Welcome to resistance

The tension is here

Between who you are and who you could be

Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move!

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move!

Like today never happened

Today never happened before.

I rather like this song…she's not moving.

Touya's POV

And I got stuck with the kid. But she is a cute little thing. Full of fire, spirit. Not tripping over herself to suck up to those she has a crush on, or someone famous like the band onstage. Although it was obvious she enjoyed this band, she was just out to be herself, and have a good time.

I'm going to have fun teasing this one. Her name is Yune, and her eyes are a lovely shade of blue. My favorite color. And can she sing! If it weren't for the fact that her personality wouldn't fit well with the whole famous singer thing, I believe she would make a lot of money in that field. Her voice is strong, powerful, perfectly pitched. Yune is singing now, right along with all her friends.

Maybe redemption has stories to tell

Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell

Where to do you go to escape from yourself

Where you gonna go?

Salvation is here…

I can't believe Koenma wants her in this Spirit World business. I understand that she has seen some rough stuff in her life, but still. Why expose her to more? It makes no sense to me. She reminds me of a little bird. Naturally, I want to protect her, if she'll let me.

Yes, she reminds me of a bird - a bird that can tear the earth apart the planet if she so chose. But now, she's singing.

I dare you to move!

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move!

Like today never happened

Today never happened

Today never happened before.

Now she's cheering wildly, as are the majority of the clubbers here. She's looking over at me, and I must be staring like an idiot, because now she's moving closer. "Is something on my face?" I laughed, shaking my head. "No - I just find you interesting. It's hard to believe that you're the same woman who caused the earthquake earlier." That drew a smirk from her.

"Well, that's who I am. Are you having fun?" Normally, this isn't my scene, but I can't help but admit that I am. "Yes…this kind of human music is enjoyable…but I have heard some that is not."

"I'm sorry. I assure you, my taste in music is excellent. You won't have to worry about being subjected to musical torture." I grin at her again. "I'm glad…thank you. But I doubt there is anything distasteful about you to begin with." Well, that got a blush out of her. Score one for me.

"Thanks." That was her simple, shy reply. Again, she is a cute little thing.

End Chapter

I hope you like! Thanks to all of you who reviewed - I love you all, and couldn't do this without your encouragement. I hope you didn't think the concert thing was over the top - I just had to pay a bit of tribute, that's all.

Next chapter: This is your life. This will be done from Sachiko's, Yusuke's, Hiei's and Cymarel's POV. Should be interesting. What does Sachiko think about Jin? Is Yusuke going to get a black eye from Riana? What does Hiei think about finding someone capable of controlling the same element? And what is going through Cymarel's head? The fox did put his arm around her after all…

I will be wrapping up the club scene next chapter. Who will be going home with whom? Who will be making out? Or going further than that? Hint: There will be citrus next chapter, just not sure how much yet. Could be a splash of lime, or a bag of lemons. Or maybe a cherry limeade. LOL
