Chapter 4 of Rock My World

All Dressed In Black

Kira wolfed down her Ramen like she hadn’t eaten for days.

Her mother looked distastefully at her, “I feed you, you know. Don’t act like a wild and starved animal.”

Kira waved her mother off as she slurped up the last noodle and held the bowl between her hands and brought it to her mouth to drink the broth.

“Wouldn’t you prefer to have a wholesome dinner?” Her mother asked from across the kitchen as she prepared her own meal.

“Iie. I’m in a hurry kaasan.” She got up from her seat and dumped the empty bowl into the sink. “I told you that I’m going clubbing tonight and I need to be there in an hour.”

“How do you know that Shuichi is going to be there?” She pressed, wanting to pump her daughter for more information.

Kira sighed, “Don’t worry about it, he’ll be there.” She ignored her mother’s concerned glances, “I’ll be fine.” Kira persisted, trying to convince her mother that everything was going to be alright. She then dashed up the stairs to her room to change without waiting for her mother’s response.

She softly closed her bedroom door then wandered over to her closet. She was lucky to get most of her clothes unpacked so she wouldn’t be fishing through boxes aimlessly.

Kira flipped through outfits, tossing some skirts and shirts onto her bed in the process. How was it whenever you needed something to wear you just couldn’t make up your mind? She would have more of a chance finding the Holy Grail then picking an outfit that she could go with for the night.

Finally after a restless thirty minutes of looking, she find something at least a little suitable, though she still wasn’t completely satisfied.

A white tank top with a silver heart imprinted neatly on it with a black long sleeve jacket over it. The real trouble had been deciding if pants or a skirt would suffice, but she chose a plaid kilt like mini skirt with fishnet stockings and black combat boots. She then put her hair up in two half ups tied with deep red ribbons then applied eyeliner and dark eye shadow.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror on her closet door when she was done, “Dressing for clubs should be a sport.” Kira examined every angle of her reflection wondering and hoping that this Tenshi club was the type to wear something like this to.

Shrugging it off she went back downstairs, “Kaasan, I’m leaving!”

“Be careful Kira,” her mother cautioned from the kitchen.

Kira opened the front door and called over her shoulder, “Quit worrying, I’ll be fine.” It was her last reassurance to her mother and then she closed the door behind her as she stepped into the coldness of the night.

~*~

The music within the club could be heard up to three blocks away at most and Kira smiled in relief that it was her type of club. The type with loud music and played a mix of hard rock, hardcore techno, metal and punk. On a night like this, it would attract all sorts of attention.

The building that the club was in was a stone building with hardly any window for light from the outside to creep into, not that there was any sunlight at nighttime. A dark purple and flashing sign hung over the doorway stating the club’s name, ‘Tenshi’.

Immediately her eyes began scanning the crowd once inside for Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke and Kuwabara. Whatever they needed her for, if they weren’t here she wasn’t going to help them.

The inside of the club was a lot different from the outside. Technicolor lights flashed over head in the darkened room and speakers were placed in every possible area. There was a small stage where the DJ was playing the music as people danced on the dance floor to the beat of whatever song was currently playing. In a corner of the club there were tables and chairs set up for anyone who desired to sit down and a skimpy dressed waitress was taking orders for beverages.

It was there she saw them sitting.

She went over to them, “Glad to see you all could make it.” Kira grinned at them. Tonight was going to be fun.

“Yeah, yeah. Let’s get this over with.” Yusuke said, he was wearing a denim jacket over a white shirt with jeans.

Kuwabara didn’t seem to have a problem with a situation, “C’mon Urameshi, this place is awesome.” Kira would have never guessed that he was a club guy, but after he finished speaking he ran straight for the mosh pit that was taking over the dance floor.

Hiei was still wearing the black cloak that she had seen him earlier in and from the way he was sitting, he looked asleep. She couldn’t help, but think how can anyone sleep with this loud music?

“How long will we have to stay here?” Kurama asked staring at her curiously.

“Until I say we can go.” She eyed what he was wearing, a whit buttoned up shirt with jeans. She slapped her forehead, “Haven’t you guys ever gone clubbing?” She then added hastily, “Besides Kazuma, I mean. Minus twenty points each except Kazuma because he’s having fun already.”

“What do you mean minus twenty points each?” Yusuke inquired.

“A point system baka,” she explained, “You guys have a hundred points and I subtract points every time you do something stupid. Now you have forty.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Kurama rolled his eye. “Why can’t you grow up?”

“Just join Kazuma in the mosh pit, we’re here to have fun, not argue with each other.” Kira informed him strictly.

“Mosh pit?” Kurama looked over to the mosh pit and observed it warily. It looked like people were getting hurt in it more then having a good time, but before he could start an argument he felt Kira tug at him and shove him into it followed by Yusuke and Hiei. “Kira!” He yelled, but he couldn’t find her, it was like she disappeared. He then felt people slam into him and it became clearer why they called it a ‘mosh pit’. It was like a mob with people pushing and jumping into each other. He had to escape, he was more afraid of the fact that Hiei would kill anyone who dared to jump into him and Kira’s own well being crossed into his mind.

It was quite difficult to get out without hurting someone in the process (A/N: personal experience with mosh pits…they’re fun ,but dangerous at times). He finally reached the outskirts of it where people were clam and swaying to the music not violently throwing themselves around.

“I’m guessing you’re not a fan of mosh pitting already?” Kira asked trying to stifle an amused giggle by covering her mouth slightly with her hand.

“Why would anyone want to partake in that?”

“It’s fun, Kurama, but I’m guessing you wouldn’t know fun if it came up and bit you in the ass.” He wasn’t really the type to mosh anyway, just picking on him was entertaining. Kira shook her head, “Guess some people never change.”

“Nani? What do you mean by that?” He asked. “I’m the one who said you would never change.”

“You’ve been too busy pointing out my flaws to notice your own,” she noted quickly to him.

He arched an eyebrow, “My flaws?”

“Hai.” She nodded curtly. “You’re too serious, you need to mellow out. Go with the flow or something like that. You always try to control everything around you.”

“That’s something coming from you.” He huffed irritably.

Hiei came out of the mosh pit, “Are you trying to kill me onna?” He pointed his finger accusingly at Kira, “That’s worse then a brawl between dumb ass C class youkai in Makai. If one more baka ningen even tries to shove me again, I’ll slice them open!” He vowed loudly over the music.

“You guys don’t get out much do you?” Kira muttered under her breath. “That wasn’t that bad, the ones in some clubs in America are worse…”

“You actually enjoy these things?” Kurama questioned.

“Obviously,” she answered, “this is why I go clubbing. For the mosh pitting, of course!”

Yusuke then reappeared, pushing people out of his way as he made his way toward them, “Okay that was a new experience and I got some bruises to show for it.”

“Party pooper…” she mumbled in sheer annoyance. “Minus ten points each for being killjoys. You only have ten points left now. You guys hardly gave it a chance…”

“Aw, man! This place is awesome!” Kuwabara yelled at the top of his lungs from behind Yusuke.

Yusuke jumped, “Warn a guy before you screech like that! I think you blasted my eardrums!” He scolded fiercely. “Dammit! This place is giving me a headache!”

“Isn’t it cool?” Kira asked Kuwabara excitedly, her eyes twinkling in the colored lights of the club.

“Hai, we should come here more often!” Kuwabara confirmed as they ignored the two displeased youkai and Spirit Detective.

“That’s the spirit!” Kira smirked while concluding that Kuwabara was a lot cooler than she first gave him credit for.

“I hate to interrupt you two guys,” Yusuke started, balling his fist, “but some of us can’t stand this!”

“It isn’t that bad, Yusuke.” Kira berated, she faced him with an aggravated expression. “Just cool down, if you guys have a problem with it then sit in a corner or something.” She watched as he, Hiei and Kurama decided to unanimously to sit down and left her and Kuwabara in the heat of the club.

Kuwabara then pulled gently on Kira’s sleeve after a few long minutes.

“Nani?” Kira asked.

“That guy’s been looking at you this entire time.” He whispered just loud enough to be heard over the music.

Kira followed Kuwabara’s gaze to see a boy looking about seventeen standing by the wall, tapping his foot to the music about fifty feet away from them. Short spiky black hair and oddly brilliant purple eyes were the first thing she noted about him. He had bangs partly covering his left eye, but she could see the amethyst orb gazing at her from beneath it. He looked around 5’8 or so, a little taller then Kurama. His attire was all black though, from the trench coat he was wearing to his pants then boots. A spiked choker was around his neck and he had two small silver hoop earrings in one ear.

“Yeah…so?” She gave Kuwabara a skeptical look. “He’s probably another of those high school boy perverts.” Though she couldn’t deny he was a little cute, what girl could deny a good thing when they saw one? She glanced back to where he was, but he wasn’t there anymore. A puzzled look cam upon her face as she turned her head to the right then the left, “Where did he go?”

She felt a placid tap on her left shoulder and looked over it to see that boy standing right behind her. Kira blushed faintly and he smiled softly at her. Kuwabara looked on with bewilderment, some type of language was going on here that couldn’t he heard with words, not out loud anyway.

“Ano…ohayo.” Kira said hardly audible even to herself. For a rare moment in her life, she was basically speechless. She wasn’t the one to act all mild around boys, what made this one she didn’t even know any different from other boys?

“Would you like to dance?” There wasn’t even a stutter in his voice, he seemed perfectly confident about himself at the moment.

Kira groped her mind for the words she wanted to say, “Iie. I mean…hai. I mean…ano…”

“Is that a yes?” He asked.

She nodded frantically, “Hai.”

He took her mildly by the hand as a melodramatic slow song began playing, usually she wouldn’t dance to a song like this, but she was still in a daze, entranced by him you could say. The music filling her up like she’d been empty as she felt his hands slip around her waist and he rested his chin on her head as she draped her arms over his shoulders. Her blush deepened from a light pink to a dark red, but couldn’t be noticed in the club.

//I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now//

Just from the touch of his hand, she felt a warmth grow inside her. The kind that’s irresistible and inescapable. Her heart throbbed in her chest and heat rose to her cheeks, but she managed to finally suppress it with a gulp of air.

Kuwabara walked over to where his teammates were sitting, “She ditched me.” He said glumly.

“Hm?” Kurama looked up at him, not completely hearing what he had said. He noticed that Kira wasn’t with him, “Where’s Kira?” His emerald eyes searched the dance floor, becoming concerned for the naïve teenage girl.

//Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all//

“Dancing with some guy.” He answered sitting in an empty chair at the table next to Yusuke. “Well, at least she won’t take anymore points away from you guys.” He snickered.

“Shut up.” Yusuke snapped sourly, “How would you like to be told by a girl that what you’re wearing sucks?”

Kuwabara leaned back in his chair, “My sister tells me that all the time though Urameshi.”

“What’s your name?” Kira pondered never feeling so clam before in her life. She knew what she was thinking and it was that there was something tranquil about him, but dark at the same time. It was a feeling she was having in the pit of her stomach, but she didn’t read much into it.

He didn’t answer her question, but his arms tightened a little around her waist.

//I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything//

Ideas began crawling out of the back of her mind. So mysterious, like a mysterious stranger or something. Quiet, recluse, but totally sure of himself. Poised with coolness and intriguing deep purple eyes that could’ve made her melt if she stared into them. She, the Ice Queen, could have melted in his arms from the fire that was coursing through her veins. They were close, perhaps…too close. With her head resting on his chest and listening to the sound of his heart beat rather then the music, she was sure if he was listening to her heart it would be fluttering like a butterfly.

Kira closed her eyes halfway, “I guess it’s okay if you don’t want to tell me.” She sighed into his chest. Just great, where was this guys self confidence now? He didn’t even answer her.

//Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything//

“Kokuei.”

“Nani?” She blinked.

“That’s my name…” he paused then repeated it slowly, “Kokuei.”

She bit her lip and mumbled, “Ano…mine’s Kira.” Kokuei…what a strange name. It sounded almost evil when it rolled off his tongue.

The music played for what seemed an eternity as they danced slowly, letting instinct guide them. She could all ,but mumble quick apologies when she accidentally stepped on his feet. He didn’t seem to mind too much, he was ensnared more then she was by the soft beat, the passionate lyrics and closeness.

It wasn’t long before she felt awkward, she hardly knew this guys and she was letting him be so near to her…so close to her…

//Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything
I still remember..//

She withdrew suddenly, casting her eyes down at the ground, “Gomen.” She whispered. ‘I can’t let this happen, not yet, not now.’

“Something wrong?” He nervously asked.

“Iie.” She lied quickly, “It’s not you.” She rolled her teeth over her bottom lip, her eyes glazed over and looked forlorn. “I can’t…not now…” Kira raised her sorrow filled eyes to his, “Gomen, but I…I need to go.” She turned on her heel leaving him to stare after her. When she glanced briefly over her shoulder to take one last look at him, he was gone. She sighed heavily, perhaps that hadn’t been the smartest form of action. Kira clasped her hands together, why did she react like that? It was like it was out of pure impulse to reject him so suddenly without explanation.

“That was so cute,” Kuwabara sniggered when she came up to the table where they were.

“Oh hush up carrot top or I‘ll slam your face into he table.” She glared at him angrily, returning to her old self.

“So, are we done here?” Kurama wondered. “Or do you want to stay longer?”

“Iie. I’ve had enough excitement for one night I suppose.” No more clubs for a while for her.

“I hope you have a good nights sleep then because tomorrow we’re taking you to ba-san’s for training.” Yusuke told her upon leaving the club.

“Nani!?” Kira had completely forgotten about that. “Demo, tomorrow…that’s so soon!” Her face paled rapidly. Why did she have to forget to subtract just ten more points from them? Curse short term memory!

“We would have made you go anyway so deal.” Yusuke scoffed.

“And how exactly were you going to make me go?” Kira asked while fuming.

“Kidnap you, knock you unconscious, tie and gag you…” he trailed off when he noticed the angry look on her face and Yusuke’s eyes glinted with amusement. “But that’s the least of your worries. Ba-san is your main concern now. Yep, tomorrow you start Boot Camp From Hell.”

~*~

She lay in her bed underneath the covers which she pulled up to her chin. Her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. The last night for two months in her comfortable bed and she couldn’t sleep. The darkness of her room didn’t help either. Perhaps it was because she was thinking about Kokuei. Did his appearance really affect her that much? Maybe it was best not to think about him. She tried to push him out of her head as she rolled over onto her side and closed her eyes, wanting only to sleep, but she had no such luck.

*~*~*~*~*

Dc-chan: Ohhh! We saw a little softer side of Kira!!! What will happen next? How much will Kira suffer at the hands of Genkai? You’ll have to read the next chapter to find out! Oh, and karate classes are fun because you get to punch and kick things. And I know this might sound cliché or something, but I can’t help but love Evanescence. It’s so dark and depressing…but I like too be happy. Hm? That doesn’t make sense. Oh well, REVIEW OR I’LL KEEL YOU!!! *takes out a chainsaw* I’m being serious…
