Thick Black Chords Chapter 6:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Do you want me to stop?"
He asked, panting lowly into her ear.
"No.."
She replied through a moan, trembling violently when she felt his long, thin fingers brush her thick wavy locks to the side to graze on more of her sensitive flesh.
Her moans echoed throughout the mansion. Her screams vibrated from wall to wall. His touch left her body with an irresistible craving for more with each throbbing pulse that wracked her body senseless, and she didn't want any of it to end.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hana awoken in a large bed, her curvascious naked body covered in dark blue satin blankets. Her mind was blank for a moment, as her emerald green eyes scanned her surroundings. She glanced at the high ceiling, the dark drapes, oak armoir, and looked straight ahead at the half opened bedroom door, the hint of sunlight peering in catching her attention.
She gasped lowly, remembering the passionate night she shared with Mana. She sat up quickly, looking around for him.
She felt a long, slender hand stroke the top of hers, and she looked to see Mana standing in front of her. His naked body was covered with a long, silk robe and nothing more, which he felt perfectly comfortable in, and in front of her, as though he has had her many times before. His dark eyes met hers, and his lips formed into a light smile. His long jet black hair fell into his face, but he would gently rush his free hand through it to pull it back, focusing his gaze onto the woman.
Hana layed back against the headboard, silent, with no reaction as he held to her hand. She tried to speak, but nothing came to mind. She couldn't comprehend how she felt, and as she pondered from one thought to another, her petite rouge lips trembled lightly. Mana sat next to her, pulling her close to him with a light tug by her waist.
"Are you hungry, my love?"
Mana whispered into her ear before leaving a kiss on her earlobe.
"A little...but I don't want to be a bother..."
Hana replied lowly, remaining still.
"Do not speak nonsense to me, Hana..."
The man said firmly, cupping the side of her face with a long, slender hand.
She closed her eyes and lent against his chest, returning his sudden embrace. Her body glowed from the heated passion the two had made, but she compared to the other men she made love to, she felt different with him. Satisfied, yet, vulnerable.
Mana rose to his feet, getting Hana a robe to wear. She covered her body with the dark blue satin blankets, shifting a bit.
She got up from the large bed when she saw him closing the armoir. She walked over to him, still wearing his blankets, reaching out with one hand to take the robe. Mana lightly ran his free hand up her hand to her wrist, tugging her close to him. He turned her around for her back to face him, as he let the blue satin she wore fall to the floor.
He kissed her neck a few times, slipping the long, black silk robe onto her shoulders, wrapping it around her naked body.
She moaned lowly, slightly enjoying his passionate tactics, though when that little feeling left right after, she felt uneasy.
"Breakfast has been prepared. Shall I carry you to the dining room?"
Mana said with a smirk, breathing into her ear.
"I can handle 99 foot trip down."
She replied with a light smile.
They went down the spiral staircase, heading to the large dining room where a meal awaited them at the long table.
They sat and ate their breakfast quietly, not having any sort of conversation the majority of the time.
Mana gazed at the glowing brunette several times.
His dark eyes feasted on her curvy frame, as his lips grinned lightly at the reminiscence of their night together.
Her milky soft breasts like mountains were more than a handful. Her tiny, curvy waist that was so easily grabbed. Her long, toned legs that were wrapped around his waist. That soft skin of hers that brushed against him over and over again.
Every bit of her, he passionately possessed and dominated in a mere few hours.
Mana looked at her with starving desire, fascinated beyond belief as to how he could want a woman this much.
He memorized every detail of her body, but knew nothing of her on the inside. How she felt now, sitting before him,
eating in silence, without even the slightest glance. Did he forget she had her own mind? Did he even sense how she felt?
Did he have the slightest care of what she could be thinking of? Not at all. She was nothing more than a prize.
When they had finished breakfast, Hana got dressed into her outfit she wore that night. Mana practically pleaded for her to shower with him, but she politely declined and told him she needed to get back to the hotel. He kissed and embraced her one last time before walking her to another one of his cars. She looked him in the eyes.
"What we did last night...I hope you're not expecting any commitment to solely form from it."
Hana said to him.
"Ofcourse not. We can safely say that was the first date. It was a night that will remain in itself, my dear."
Mana replied.
"Good. I understand."
She replied.
"But Hana, I am expecting a second date in the near future... so hold onto my number?"
Mana replied with a smirk.
She nodded lightly as she smiled, and he closed the car door, watching it drive away past the large mansion gates.
When the car arrived in front of the hotel, Hana thanked the driver and got out quickly. She took the private entrance
and waited for the elevator to reach her floor. When the elevator doors opened, she took of her heels and walked quietly.
She tiptoed to her room, praying no one would be awake, considering it was about 8am in the morning. She looked in every direction with caution, feeling like a teenager that got home much past curfew.
Hana finally made it to her room. She turned the doorknob quietly, quickly entering the room.
Her shoes fell out of her hand when she saw Sakai sitting on her bed. The tall guitarist was wide awake, leaning his back against her headboard with his legs stretched out. A few strands of his light brown hair fell into his face when he looked at her, greeting her with a sudden smile. Hana stood there, silent for a moment. When the nerve returned to her, a nervous laugh escaped her lips lowly. She walked over to her dresser and placed her purse on top of it, fiddling with her hair when she looked into her large dresser mirror as if she were stalling. Sakai's deep tone broke the silence.
"I was worried. But it seems I had no reason to, right?"
Sakai spoke to her with no hint of readable emotion.
"Uhm... I'm..sorry for making you worry.."
Hana spoke lowly, seeing his reflection watch her.
His light brown eyes gazed at her uneasy movements. He watched her take her diamond earrings off, and he watched her remove the necklace she wore. He read her expression clearly, and he hated the awkward moment they were sharing.
Sakai knew damn well what she did, and with Mana of all people. He got up from her bed, and walked up to her, standing closely behind her. The way her body glowed was enough to make him think, and the possibility of losing her to Mana drove him over the edge. He didn't want her to slip through his fingers, at least not so quickly.
He held to the top of her hands when she tried to move away from him, which immediatly stopped her in her tracks.
She didn't turn to face him yet, and as she was in his grip, she felt a strange sense of security. Her bangs covered one of
her eyes, though without a word, she knew he wanted her to look at him. Hana felt Sakai's fingers lightly massage her hands before their eyes met. Sakai leaned close to her, whispering softly into her ear.
"Your life is none of my business, but..I can't stop myself from obsessing now.."
He said.
"Obsessing over what exactly?"
Hana replied lowly.
"Whether or not he took you away from me..."
He spoke against her ear lobe, his hot breath warming her body.
"It's..not like we're in love or getting married..don't be silly!"
Was all she said with a sudden laugh, hiding the confusion in her voice.
"Are you happy today?"
Sakai asked her firmly, holding to the sides of her arms before she tried to walk away.
"I am. Now...do me a favor and stop worrying. You don't need it."
Hana replied lowly, looking away from him. She gently pulled away from his hold, walking towards her bathroom.
The guitarist sighed to himself, feeling shut out from her again. Every little defensive word she spoke was enough to make him back off, because he knew she finished what she didn't want to be a part of any longer. She gently closed the bathroom door behind her, and ran a shower. Sakai stared at the closed door, wishing the cards were in his favor.
If certain circumstances weren't there, there wouldn't be anything stopping him from going into that bathroom and spilling his heart out to her right then and there. But this was reality, and it wasn't merciful in the least bit.
He walked out of her room and closed her door, walking to his room that wasn't that far away.
Alex came out of her room and went to Hana's to use her bathroom, but kept hidden when she saw Sakai in the distance. She frowned she heard Hana's shower running, and it wasn't hard to put two and two together.
The tiny woman wanted to say something to Sakai, but couldn't think of how to approach him, especially when Keita wouldn't be arriving for another hour. Alex turned around and went back in her room, shutting the door behind her.
She sighed, wondering what exactly happened between Sakai and Hana.
"Lot's of tension between those two." She thought to herself, laying back in her bed.
Alex waited until later to take a shower in Hana's bathroom. She went into Hana's room when
she heard silence, finding Hana wrapped in a towel and asleep in her bed. She sighed when she saw a bottle of half empty Nyquil on her knight stand. "She better not have some sort of addiction to that shit." Alex thought to herself, walking to her bathroom and locking the door behind her.
The tiny woman took a long shower, then got dressed into black jeans, grey tank top, bra, and panties. She even took the time to blow dry her hair. It was the late afternoon, and Hana was still asleep. Keita had already arrived, so Alex figured she would be fine with the guys. The tiny woman and the rest of the band members played video games in the entertainment room, getting to know her a little more. Alex noticed Sakai from across the room, sitting at a table that was by an open window. He was smoking a ciggarette, not saying much to anyone. Alex growled to herself when she saw his ashtray that was filled with about 5 finished cigarettes. She walked over to him, taking a seat at the tiny table. Keita sat close by, ready to translate.
"Smoking isn't good, did you know that?"
She asked him with a hint of annoyance in her tone.
"I'm just stressed. I usually don't smoke."
Sakai replied.
"Do you wanna talk about the stress? Maybe you won't feel as stressed if you talk about it."
Alex replied, looking him in the eyes with a serious expression.
"Mm, sure. If you have the time..."
The guitarist said, about to light another cigarette.
"I have the time, I just don't have the tolerance to watch you kill yourself."
Alex said, taking the cigarette from his hand.
"Ha..alright.."
Sakai spoke with a light smile, letting her take his cigarettes away.
"So what's wrong with you? Why are you closed off
and why is Hana sleeping her day away?"
Alex asked.
"Hm.. I see how you're using Hana and I in the same sentence."
He replied.
"It's not hard to figure out, you know. Even I can see
that there's something going on between you two."
Alex said.
"Heh, I wish there was."
Sakai replied, leaning back against his chair.
"If there isn't, then what the hell is the tension about?"
Alex asked.
"I'm just impatient and selfish, I guess.."
Sakai replied, laughing lowly.
"You love her, don't you?"
Alex asked him.
"I do."
Sakai said lowly.
"Then why can't you tell her?"
She asked.
"She's too fragile right now to deal with that on her. All I can do is step back and
let her live her life the way she wants to."
Sakai replied.
"Hm. Well, whether or not you let her know, that's your choice. Just make your move before you lose her."
Alex said to him before sliding his box of cigarettes
back to him, getting up to play DDR with Mizu again.
Sakai sighed lowly, lighting up another cigarette. Later on that evening, Hana woke up, did her hair and makeup, and got dressed. Alex came into her room, curious when she heard the blowdryer. Hana waved at the smaller woman, turning the blowdryer off when she came into the bathroom.
"You're up now, I see.. Where are you going?"
Alex said.
"I figure we should all go out tonight."
Hana replied, straightening her bangs with her flat iron.
"Sounds fun. I'll go tell the others then."
Alex responded before leaving the room.
"Oh wait, Alex.."
Hana called from her room.
"Yeah?"
Alex responded, walking back to Hana's bathroom.
"Tell Sakai to come here.."
Hana replied lowly, unplugging and wrapping up her flat iron.
"Alright.."
Alex said before leaving the room again.
Sakai walked into Hana's room a couple minutes later, walked into her bathroom and leaned against her door frame.
His chocolate brown eyes met hers, and he gazed at her nervously. Hana lathered leave in conditioner into her long, wavy locks, then washed her hands. She leaned back against the sink, looking back at him, feeling a hint of guilt as if they got into a regretful fight. The tall guitarist broke the brief silence.
"You look nice.."
Sakai said to her.
"Thanks. I want to look nice when we all go out tonight.."
Hana replied with a smile.
"We should all go get ready then."
Sakai said, turning to walk out of the room.
"Sakai."
Hana said.
"Yes?"
Sakai replied, turning to face her.
Hana walked up to the guitarist, hugging him tightly, holding to his back. He blinked and returned her warm embrace, and didn't want to let her go, but let her set the pace, wondering what the hug was about, wondering what she felt when she held him now.
"I'm not going anywhere."
Hana whispered into his ear before she released from their hold.
Sakai gazed at the curvasious vocalist, not entirely sure how to interprate her words. She smiled to him, telling him to go get ready with the others. He nodded and left her room, knowing it was best to leave things on that good note.
About an hour or so later, Hana, Alex, and the rest of the band got their things and went down to the groundfloor, getting into the black limosine that waited in front for them.
Hana told the driver to take them to FERIA, a large, 4 floor VIP lounge that the wealthy people and celebrities went to. All of 6 of them stepped out of the limosine in an orderly fashion, walking close together before they got lost in the crowds of people that awaited entry into the nightclub. They all walked ahead of the crowds, and Kaoru handed the bouncers neat stacks of yen that came out to about $700. They let the exstravantly dressed group in without a word.
"This place is huge.."
Alex said aloud, holding to Hana's arm.
"Yeah, we might as well enjoy our time here.."
Hana said, smiling at all the well dressed men that walked around.
"It's time to mingle."
Kaoru said, removing his dark blue designer shades, walking over to the bar
table to greet the young women that sat together.
Everyone got together at the long, sleek bar table to order drinks for eachother. They all started out with a few small shots of liquor, stopping before they went over their tipsy state. A few women came up to the guys, wanting to get to know them and socialize somewhere further in the club. The guys went their seperate ways, even Sakai. He didn't want to cling to Hana, and he knew he had no right to, but he stayed close by. Keita and the girls stayed at the bar table for now, watching the men go off.
"God, what sheep huh?"
Alex said to Hana with a laugh.
"Haha, the girls or the guys?"
Hana yelled over the loud trance music that played.
"I don't have an answer!"
Alex said.
They laughed and drank light wine coolers, not really wanting to seperate from the guys, so they waited until they came close by as promised. A few men came up to Hana and Alex, flirting with them and offering to buy them drinks. When the girls didn't enjoy their company, one of them would tap the other on her leg, messaging a "let's cut them loose".
They were either drunk or overly affectionate, and that alone was repelling to the two women.
A half hour or so later, 2 more guys approached Hana and Alex, though at seperate times.
Alex was approached first by a tall Japanese man. He looked decently built, and his hair was almost shoulder length in a layered cut, being a dyed dark brown. The grey leather jacket he wore complimented his broad, built structure, and the rest of his attire looked expensive and tasteful. He actually spoke fluent english, introducing himself to her with an enticing grin.
"Hi, I'm Keiji. Are you having fun in Japan tonight?"
He asked Alex, seeming entirely sober and politely social.
"I am, I'm glad my sister brought me here! I'm Alex, by the way."
Alex said back with a smile, leaning close against the bar table as she faced him.
"May I have the pleasure of buying you a drink, Areksu?"
He asked her, having a noticable accent when he spoke her name, but she payed no mind to it.
"Haha, you may."
Alex replied with a laugh, unable to break away from his gaze.
Hana smiled at the two, happy for her friend and the sudden change of pace the night had entered. As if things couldn't get better, Hana felt a light tap on her shoulder. She turned to the person on her bar stool, looking to see a bleach blonde man greeting her with a smirk, looking her in the eyes when he leaned against the bar table with one strong arm.
"Excuse me, miss. My name is Gackt, and I was just wondering if I could buy you a drink?"
His deep tone spoke to Hana, and his eyes even caught a quick glance of her curves through the the black suade half unzipped jacket she wore, and the bright red lacy round neck top and the few dangly silver necklaces she wore under the jacket was quite interesting, but he didn't look to long to be mistaken for a sexdriven pig with no class. Hana intrigued him, and he has heard of her and her band through his record company.
"Oh wow. Sure. It's amazing to meet you here!"
Hana replied, laughing lowly to hide how star struck she felt.
Another half hour went by, and the guys returned to the bar table where they promised to meet back. Hana and Alex introduced them to their 'dates' for the night so far as did the guys with the women they had with them.
They all talked and ordered eachother more drinks, danced and hung out on the second floor of the dance floor area,
then went on the VIP lounge that was on the 4th floor on the large private terrace to get away from the crowds and neon lighting.
Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks they were served, socializing with one another and mingled with the new people they met. All the guys but Sakai had a girl on their laps. Sakai and the girl he was with sat side by side on one of the long suade couches. He got to know her a little, but had no interest as to knowing anything further than the usual small talk.
He glanced at Hana several times, watching her laugh at the stories Gackt told her, leaning her head against his chest, sitting closely as their legs leaned against one another's. It made Sakai very uneasy.
"Soo, are you coming back to our place tonight?"
Hana asked Gackt loudly through her drunk giggling.
"No. When I take you to bed, I want you sober, sweetheart.."
Gackt replied with a smirk, kissing her forehead.
The guy's dates giggled and patted Hana on her shoulder when she acted dissapointed, then looked hugged to their guys. Alex felt drowzy from the alcohol she consumed, so she leant her head on Keiji's shoulder the entire time.
"Guys! It's more than clear that we're NOT getting lucky tonight! We're too fuckinggg drunk!!!"
Hana yelled, acting out a childish sob.
Her band nodded and kissed their dates, calling them a cab and giving them money to get home.
Hana, Alex, Gackt, and the rest of the guys all went downstairs to the main floor, heading outside to start going home.
Gackt held to Hana's waist and kissed her goodbye, chuckling at her outbursts. She gave him her cell number and kissed him a bit more, whining lowly when he began to walk away from her, but came back to her to kiss her again for a another minute, then promised he would call her tommorow before walking up to the white BMW that pulled up.
Alex gave Keiji her Japanese temporary cell number before he kissed her on the lips goodbye, getting into a cab.
Hana, Alex, and the guys got into their black limosine and went straight home.
They got home pretty early, being only about 2:30am. They weren't dreadfully tired, so they hung out in the
entertainment room to play cards and talk. The guys had a quick poker tournament, and the girls faced off in DDR.
Despite being drunk, Alex managed to keep up with most of the steps, yet Hana struggled and tripped several times.
They laughed and distracted the guys who eventually gave up their card game to put the giggling women to bed.
"We're both gonna stay in my room for the night! We're too scared to sleep alone!"
Hana said loudly to the guys, they nodded and brought them to Hana's room.
The guys said goodnight to them and left their room, though a mischevious Kaoru leant against Hana's door frame and asked if they wanted some 'company'. They yelled at him to 'go away' in english, and threw pillows at him. He laughed lowly and ran, yelling "Oyasumi!" before he left the room, closing the door behind him. The girls got undressed and changed into pajamas, talking about the fun night they had. Hana turned off the lights and turned on the fish tank lighting, setting it on neon green, lightly shedding a calming light in the room.
"I can't believe Gackt approached you!"
Alex said.
"Shit, I know! I didn't think I was that appealing!"
Hana replied, laughing with her friend.
"Naw, but really, he knew about me through his record company, so I guess that was my hook,
but anyway, that Keiji seemed like a cool guy."
Hana said, staring at the ceiling.
"Yeah. He learned english in college and ocassionally vacations all over the US.
he was just visiting his hometown and stuff."
Alex replied with a smile.
"Cool, but let's be honest, if we weren't trashed right now,
do you think you would've went back to his place?"
Hana asked her, poking at her friend's waist.
"Get outta here, man."
Alex said through a giggle, shifting away from Hana.
"That MUST mean yes."
Hana said, teasing her.
Back at the entertainment room, the guys were packing up their cards and getting ready to go to their rooms. Sakai thought of Hana the whole time,trying to forget about the kiss he saw, even regretting not indulging in the girl he met, but nothing mattered anymore. He had her number, but didn't have any intentions on calling her. He went to his room, laying in his bed as Hana's words played over and over in his head. "I'm not going anywhere.."
"Really? I think you already have.." Sakai thought to himself, drifting off into a restless sleep.
"Do you want me to stop?"
He asked, panting lowly into her ear.
"No.."
She replied through a moan, trembling violently when she felt his long, thin fingers brush her thick wavy locks to the side to graze on more of her sensitive flesh.
Her moans echoed throughout the mansion. Her screams vibrated from wall to wall. His touch left her body with an irresistible craving for more with each throbbing pulse that wracked her body senseless, and she didn't want any of it to end.

she heard silence, finding Hana wrapped in a towel and asleep in her bed. She sighed when she saw a bottle of half empty Nyquil on her knight stand. "She better not have some sort of addiction to that shit." Alex thought to herself, walking to her bathroom and locking the door behind her.
The tiny woman took a long shower, then got dressed into black jeans, grey tank top, bra, and panties. She even took the time to blow dry her hair. It was the late afternoon, and Hana was still asleep. Keita had already arrived, so Alex figured she would be fine with the guys. The tiny woman and the rest of the band members played video games in the entertainment room, getting to know her a little more. Alex noticed Sakai from across the room, sitting at a table that was by an open window. He was smoking a ciggarette, not saying much to anyone. Alex growled to herself when she saw his ashtray that was filled with about 5 finished cigarettes. She walked over to him, taking a seat at the tiny table. Keita sat close by, ready to translate.
"Smoking isn't good, did you know that?"
She asked him with a hint of annoyance in her tone.
"I'm just stressed. I usually don't smoke."
Sakai replied.
"Do you wanna talk about the stress? Maybe you won't feel as stressed if you talk about it."
Alex replied, looking him in the eyes with a serious expression.
"Mm, sure. If you have the time..."
The guitarist said, about to light another cigarette.
"I have the time, I just don't have the tolerance to watch you kill yourself."
Alex said, taking the cigarette from his hand.
"Ha..alright.."
Sakai spoke with a light smile, letting her take his cigarettes away.
"So what's wrong with you? Why are you closed off
and why is Hana sleeping her day away?"
Alex asked.
"Hm.. I see how you're using Hana and I in the same sentence."
He replied.
"It's not hard to figure out, you know. Even I can see
that there's something going on between you two."
Alex said.
"Heh, I wish there was."
Sakai replied, leaning back against his chair.
"If there isn't, then what the hell is the tension about?"
Alex asked.
"I'm just impatient and selfish, I guess.."
Sakai replied, laughing lowly.
"You love her, don't you?"
Alex asked him.
"I do."
Sakai said lowly.
"Then why can't you tell her?"
She asked.
"She's too fragile right now to deal with that on her. All I can do is step back and
let her live her life the way she wants to."
Sakai replied.
"Hm. Well, whether or not you let her know, that's your choice. Just make your move before you lose her."
Alex said to him before sliding his box of cigarettes
back to him, getting up to play DDR with Mizu again.
Sakai sighed lowly, lighting up another cigarette. Later on that evening, Hana woke up, did her hair and makeup, and got dressed. Alex came into her room, curious when she heard the blowdryer. Hana waved at the smaller woman, turning the blowdryer off when she came into the bathroom.
"You're up now, I see.. Where are you going?"
Alex said.
"I figure we should all go out tonight."
Hana replied, straightening her bangs with her flat iron.
"Sounds fun. I'll go tell the others then."
Alex responded before leaving the room.
"Oh wait, Alex.."
Hana called from her room.
"Yeah?"
Alex responded, walking back to Hana's bathroom.
"Tell Sakai to come here.."
Hana replied lowly, unplugging and wrapping up her flat iron.
"Alright.."
Alex said before leaving the room again.
Sakai walked into Hana's room a couple minutes later, walked into her bathroom and leaned against her door frame.
His chocolate brown eyes met hers, and he gazed at her nervously. Hana lathered leave in conditioner into her long, wavy locks, then washed her hands. She leaned back against the sink, looking back at him, feeling a hint of guilt as if they got into a regretful fight. The tall guitarist broke the brief silence.
"You look nice.."
Sakai said to her.
"Thanks. I want to look nice when we all go out tonight.."
Hana replied with a smile.
"We should all go get ready then."
Sakai said, turning to walk out of the room.
"Sakai."
Hana said.
"Yes?"
Sakai replied, turning to face her.
Hana walked up to the guitarist, hugging him tightly, holding to his back. He blinked and returned her warm embrace, and didn't want to let her go, but let her set the pace, wondering what the hug was about, wondering what she felt when she held him now.
"I'm not going anywhere."
Hana whispered into his ear before she released from their hold.
Sakai gazed at the curvasious vocalist, not entirely sure how to interprate her words. She smiled to him, telling him to go get ready with the others. He nodded and left her room, knowing it was best to leave things on that good note.
About an hour or so later, Hana, Alex, and the rest of the band got their things and went down to the groundfloor, getting into the black limosine that waited in front for them.
Hana told the driver to take them to FERIA, a large, 4 floor VIP lounge that the wealthy people and celebrities went to. All of 6 of them stepped out of the limosine in an orderly fashion, walking close together before they got lost in the crowds of people that awaited entry into the nightclub. They all walked ahead of the crowds, and Kaoru handed the bouncers neat stacks of yen that came out to about $700. They let the exstravantly dressed group in without a word.
"This place is huge.."
Alex said aloud, holding to Hana's arm.
"Yeah, we might as well enjoy our time here.."
Hana said, smiling at all the well dressed men that walked around.
"It's time to mingle."
Kaoru said, removing his dark blue designer shades, walking over to the bar
table to greet the young women that sat together.
Everyone got together at the long, sleek bar table to order drinks for eachother. They all started out with a few small shots of liquor, stopping before they went over their tipsy state. A few women came up to the guys, wanting to get to know them and socialize somewhere further in the club. The guys went their seperate ways, even Sakai. He didn't want to cling to Hana, and he knew he had no right to, but he stayed close by. Keita and the girls stayed at the bar table for now, watching the men go off.
"God, what sheep huh?"
Alex said to Hana with a laugh.
"Haha, the girls or the guys?"
Hana yelled over the loud trance music that played.
"I don't have an answer!"
Alex said.
They laughed and drank light wine coolers, not really wanting to seperate from the guys, so they waited until they came close by as promised. A few men came up to Hana and Alex, flirting with them and offering to buy them drinks. When the girls didn't enjoy their company, one of them would tap the other on her leg, messaging a "let's cut them loose".
They were either drunk or overly affectionate, and that alone was repelling to the two women.
A half hour or so later, 2 more guys approached Hana and Alex, though at seperate times.
Alex was approached first by a tall Japanese man. He looked decently built, and his hair was almost shoulder length in a layered cut, being a dyed dark brown. The grey leather jacket he wore complimented his broad, built structure, and the rest of his attire looked expensive and tasteful. He actually spoke fluent english, introducing himself to her with an enticing grin.
"Hi, I'm Keiji. Are you having fun in Japan tonight?"
He asked Alex, seeming entirely sober and politely social.
"I am, I'm glad my sister brought me here! I'm Alex, by the way."
Alex said back with a smile, leaning close against the bar table as she faced him.
"May I have the pleasure of buying you a drink, Areksu?"
He asked her, having a noticable accent when he spoke her name, but she payed no mind to it.
"Haha, you may."
Alex replied with a laugh, unable to break away from his gaze.
Hana smiled at the two, happy for her friend and the sudden change of pace the night had entered. As if things couldn't get better, Hana felt a light tap on her shoulder. She turned to the person on her bar stool, looking to see a bleach blonde man greeting her with a smirk, looking her in the eyes when he leaned against the bar table with one strong arm.
"Excuse me, miss. My name is Gackt, and I was just wondering if I could buy you a drink?"
His deep tone spoke to Hana, and his eyes even caught a quick glance of her curves through the the black suade half unzipped jacket she wore, and the bright red lacy round neck top and the few dangly silver necklaces she wore under the jacket was quite interesting, but he didn't look to long to be mistaken for a sexdriven pig with no class. Hana intrigued him, and he has heard of her and her band through his record company.
"Oh wow. Sure. It's amazing to meet you here!"
Hana replied, laughing lowly to hide how star struck she felt.
Another half hour went by, and the guys returned to the bar table where they promised to meet back. Hana and Alex introduced them to their 'dates' for the night so far as did the guys with the women they had with them.
They all talked and ordered eachother more drinks, danced and hung out on the second floor of the dance floor area,
then went on the VIP lounge that was on the 4th floor on the large private terrace to get away from the crowds and neon lighting.
Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks they were served, socializing with one another and mingled with the new people they met. All the guys but Sakai had a girl on their laps. Sakai and the girl he was with sat side by side on one of the long suade couches. He got to know her a little, but had no interest as to knowing anything further than the usual small talk.
He glanced at Hana several times, watching her laugh at the stories Gackt told her, leaning her head against his chest, sitting closely as their legs leaned against one another's. It made Sakai very uneasy.
"Soo, are you coming back to our place tonight?"
Hana asked Gackt loudly through her drunk giggling.
"No. When I take you to bed, I want you sober, sweetheart.."
Gackt replied with a smirk, kissing her forehead.
The guy's dates giggled and patted Hana on her shoulder when she acted dissapointed, then looked hugged to their guys. Alex felt drowzy from the alcohol she consumed, so she leant her head on Keiji's shoulder the entire time.
"Guys! It's more than clear that we're NOT getting lucky tonight! We're too fuckinggg drunk!!!"
Hana yelled, acting out a childish sob.
Her band nodded and kissed their dates, calling them a cab and giving them money to get home.
Hana, Alex, Gackt, and the rest of the guys all went downstairs to the main floor, heading outside to start going home.
Gackt held to Hana's waist and kissed her goodbye, chuckling at her outbursts. She gave him her cell number and kissed him a bit more, whining lowly when he began to walk away from her, but came back to her to kiss her again for a another minute, then promised he would call her tommorow before walking up to the white BMW that pulled up.
Alex gave Keiji her Japanese temporary cell number before he kissed her on the lips goodbye, getting into a cab.
Hana, Alex, and the guys got into their black limosine and went straight home.
They got home pretty early, being only about 2:30am. They weren't dreadfully tired, so they hung out in the
entertainment room to play cards and talk. The guys had a quick poker tournament, and the girls faced off in DDR.
Despite being drunk, Alex managed to keep up with most of the steps, yet Hana struggled and tripped several times.
They laughed and distracted the guys who eventually gave up their card game to put the giggling women to bed.
"We're both gonna stay in my room for the night! We're too scared to sleep alone!"
Hana said loudly to the guys, they nodded and brought them to Hana's room.
The guys said goodnight to them and left their room, though a mischevious Kaoru leant against Hana's door frame and asked if they wanted some 'company'. They yelled at him to 'go away' in english, and threw pillows at him. He laughed lowly and ran, yelling "Oyasumi!" before he left the room, closing the door behind him. The girls got undressed and changed into pajamas, talking about the fun night they had. Hana turned off the lights and turned on the fish tank lighting, setting it on neon green, lightly shedding a calming light in the room.
"I can't believe Gackt approached you!"
Alex said.
"Shit, I know! I didn't think I was that appealing!"
Hana replied, laughing with her friend.
"Naw, but really, he knew about me through his record company, so I guess that was my hook,
but anyway, that Keiji seemed like a cool guy."
Hana said, staring at the ceiling.
"Yeah. He learned english in college and ocassionally vacations all over the US.
he was just visiting his hometown and stuff."
Alex replied with a smile.
"Cool, but let's be honest, if we weren't trashed right now,
do you think you would've went back to his place?"
Hana asked her, poking at her friend's waist.
"Get outta here, man."
Alex said through a giggle, shifting away from Hana.
"That MUST mean yes."
Hana said, teasing her.
Back at the entertainment room, the guys were packing up their cards and getting ready to go to their rooms. Sakai thought of Hana the whole time,trying to forget about the kiss he saw, even regretting not indulging in the girl he met, but nothing mattered anymore. He had her number, but didn't have any intentions on calling her. He went to his room, laying in his bed as Hana's words played over and over in his head. "I'm not going anywhere.."
"Really? I think you already have.." Sakai thought to himself, drifting off into a restless sleep.
