It was the day after the band's debut concert. Though they had the day off, everyone seemed entirely productive. The boys were all out to get their own errands done, while Hana practiced a few of their tracks at the studio with the programming staff. In between her few minute breaks, the young woman's mind seemed to backtrack to her family and friends she left behind in America. The last person she thought of was her friend Alex. She thought about the girl long enough to wonder how she was doing, and remembered how long it's been since they even emailed. They were living their own seperate lives, but to Hana that wasn't a good enough reason now. After practice was over, the vocalist decided to give her old friend a call. She waited patiently, and after 4 rings, There was finally an answer.

"Hello?"
Asked a male's voice.


"Hello? May I speak to Alex?"
Hana replied.


"Yeah, uh.. Wait.."
The male voice replied.


Hana heard alot of background noise then, faintly hearing a young woman's voice that seemed to be yelling. Hearing a loud thud, she wondered what the hell was going on.


"Give me my fucking phone and get the fuck out of my house!"
A young woman's voice screamed. There was a brief silence for a moment,
but Hana stayed on the phone. She finally heard someone else pick up the phone.


"Yeah, who is this??"
The person on the other end asked Hana.

"Alex? It's me."
Hana replied.

"Oh my god..Bri? Is that really you?"
Alex asked in a surprised tone of voice.

"Yes, it's Bri! and, what was that all about before?"
Hana asked.

"Oh. Sorry about that. That was just my ex causing bullshit. His cheating ass comes around to get me back, but this was just the last straw. I'm too lazy to call the cops, so I figure kicking his ass this time will finish the job without anymore bullshit, ya know?"
Alex responded with a laugh.


"Oh man. Your ex? We have alot of catching up to do!"
Hana replied.


"I know! When are you coming back to New york?"
Alex replied.


"Well, that's the thing. I'm quite busy, especially now. My contract states that I can't leave Japan for at least 6 months because of all the work that;s far from done. But I was wondering, why don't you come here?"
Hana responded


"Eh? Me come to Japan?? Well, The idea is nice but I'm kinda strapped for cash right now..I mean, I have a trust fund in the bank but I don't think Omi's gonna like the fact that I spent a chunk of it just to go to Japan.."
Alex responded with a sigh.


"Don't worry about that! I'll pay for your round trip and everything! My band and I are living in a hotel, so your accommodations won't be a problem. Money is no problem with me."
Hana replied.


"Heh..you really are making it there, huh? Everything sounds so amazing..and if you really don't mind paying for all that, I'd love to come!"
Alex responded.


"Great! So, I'll email the airport my information, and you'll be able to just walk right in. When do you want to come?"
Hana responded.


"Shit! I'll go tomorrow!"
Alex replied.


"Alright. I'm looking at the flight schedule now. You're better off getting there in the morning at around 8. You'll get here by 10pm, which isn't too crazy. "
Said Hana.


"Sure, sounds good!"
Said Alex.


After discussing the arrangements the friends hung up. The next day had arrived, and Hana had picked Alex up at the airport. They were driven back by limo-sine. Alex stared out of the car window, gazing at the bright neon lights.


"Tokyo sure is pretty at night."
Alex thought out loud.


"Heh, Yeah I know. I'm still getting used to it."
Hana said with a laugh.


The women had arrived to the hotel. Hana led Alex and the chauffeur up to their private elevator. When they reached the band's floor, The chauffeur carried Alex's bags to the extra bedroom. 


"Eh? Where's he taking my stuff?"
Alex asked.


"To your room."
Hana said with a smile, bringing her to the room.


The bedroom was about the same size as the band member's rooms. It had a king sized bed with black sheets and a light blue lace embroided cotton comforter. There was a balcony with white curtains and a wall mounted wide screen tv facing the direction of the bed. There was a laptop on a black wood desk in the corner of the room with a clover plant next to the desk. On both sides of the bed were black dresser drawers as well as a matching armoir in the corner of the room opposite from the balcony.
The only difference about the room was that it didn't have a bathroom, but it's space and balcony made up for that. Alex layed back on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Hana helped her unpack her things and dimmed the lights to make her feel more comfortable.


"I hope you didn't go through alot of trouble to set this up."
Alex said.

"No! Not at all. It's fine. I want you to be comfortable."
Hana said to her friend.


Alex nodded and helped unpack her things. As Hana hung up some of Alex's clothes in the closet, Sakai came into the room. The tall guitarist greeted Hana with his usual warm smile, surprising the vocalist with a light hug from behind. Alex's eyes grew wide as she then fell silent, sending Hana a confused curious vibe, and she caught it instantly. Alex watched her friend speak Japanese in a swift feminine tone to the good looking man, gesturing to Alex with
"Kochira wa watashi no yuujin wa Alex desu" 
The light haired guitarist smiled to Alex, bowing halfway as he said in English "Very nice to meet you" the best he could. Alex ran a hand through her straightened hair and smiled lightly to him. The band members started to speak Japanese to one another again, before Sakai left the room.
Hana smiled and closed the door behind her.


"Who was that?"
Alex asked plainly. Though her cheeks grew red.


"That was my lead guitarist, Sakai."
Hana answered.

"Damn, you sure are lucky. he's cute."
Alex replied.


"What do you mean?"
Hana responded.


"I mean you're lucky to have such a cute boyfriend..he sure shows how he loves you.."
Alex replied to her, almost sounding envious.


"What?! Sakai isn't my boyfriend!"
Hana said a bit loudly with a nervous laugh.


Alex blinked a few times in confusion, looking at her friend with slight disbelief as if to say "are you kidding?" It was surprising to see the guitarist's display of affection to then find out there wasn't anything going on between the two. This was a sudden relief to Alex, and it seemed to have came naturally. "Does that mean he's single?" Alex thought to herself.

"Oh that reminds me!"
Hana spoke then, breaking the silence.

"Huh?"
Alex responded.

"I need to introduce you to the rest of the band. I'm sure they're all up."
Hana said.

"Oh, yeah sure. Uhm...I'll meet them now then."
Alex said lowly, Feeling her heart pound against her chest to see Sakai again.


Hana called for Sakai and told him to go get the rest of the band to meet Alex. The 4 men came into the room, greeting Alex with a impressively simultaneous spoken "Hello." The tiny woman nodded to them, even bowed halfway. Hana spoke Japanese to them, telling them to be on their best behavior, whatever that was supposed to be.


"I don't know how long I'm staying, but uhm, I look forward to staying here with all of you.."
Alex said to the band.


Hana translated quickly for her, and the men nodded and smiled. Hana told them to let Alex settle in, and that they would catch up with them later. They respectfully bowed to the tiny woman before departing from the room. Alex gazed at the lead guitarist as he left. Hana helped her friend settle in. The two women decided to stay up for a bit. Hana showed Alex around the band's floor, but the tiny woman instantly liked her friend's room the best.

"Wow. You even have your own bathroom."
Alex said with admiration.


"Yeah, living my new busy as hell life, a bathroom is an essential part of it."
 Hana replied.


The vocalist watched with amusement as Alex's fascination with her room. They talked and played with Alex's Playstation 2 for a while in Hana's room. When they grew bored, they talked more and stuffed their faces with the pudding Hana kept in her mini refrigerator. The two friends spent time with each other as though they were 16 again. Nothing seemed to change between the two, not even their mutual habit of trailing off into gossip.


"So if Sakai isn't your boyfriend, who are you dating?"
Alex asked casually. Casually, though the question itself was anything but casual.


"What makes you assume I'm not single?"
Hana replied with a laugh.


"I don't know. I can't imagine you not being with someone now, miss I go to the gym 4times a week."
Alex replied teasingly.


"Mm...I see where you're coming from. Though, I'm not ready to be tied down...but..."
Hana spoke before she trailed off to her thoughts momentarily, overwhelmed in a way.


"But?"
Asked Alex.


"I do have a date with Mana tomorrow."
Hana mumbled loud enough for the tiny woman to hear.

That was it. Now she done it. There wasn't any turning back now. Hana told Alex all about meeting Kanon and Mana, and the events leading up to being asked on the date. It almost sounded unreal, but not unbelievable. Alex was surprised, but she laughed when  Hana told her of Kanon's jealousy. Though every bit of it was true.


"That's funny, man."
Alex said.


"Yeah, surprising, right?"
Hana replied.


"Psh. ' Do me a favor and stay away from him.' That bitch has some nerve."
Alex said with laugh.



Suddenly, there was a single knock at Hana's door. The female vocalist gave the person permission to come in, that person being Sakai. His light brown hair was pulled back, a bit kinky, looking as if he had rolled out of a bed. but damn, it looked anything but bad on him. He wore a long navy blue robe and pajama pants underneath, leaning against Hana's door frame with a warm smile. How could one make something so casual look so enticing?  The two women thought to themselves in unison.  Sakai greeted Hana in Japanese and nodded with a smile to Alex. He spoke briefly to the vocalist before staring at the women with his piercing brown eyes as a deep toned "Oyasumi" escaped his lips. The women smiled to themselves for a moment before the moment ceased. Hana felt heat lightly tickle her cheeks, and wasn't sure why she felt, like this..but she ignored it. Alex finally broke the silence.


"What was he saying to you?"
She asked.


"Oh. He just wished me luck on my date tomorrow night. "
Hana replied.


"He's really supportive of you, it seems.."
Alex thought aloud, not intending that as a response.


"Yeah, that's just Sakai."
Hana said with a light smile.


"But yeah, are you excited for your date with Mana?"
Alex said, changing the subject.


"Oh, yeah. Really excited. I even bought a lolita gown just for the occasion. You'll see it tomorrow."
Hana replied.


The women talked about their usual nonsense for awhile, but eventually Alex grew tired. It was 2:05 in the morning after all. Hana walked her friend back to her room that was just down the small hallway.


"Oh, before I forget, I don't want you to worry about being alone with the guys. I've hired a translator for you that's going to be here later on in the afternoon."
Hana said.


"Really? Thanks..I'll need to communicate with those jrockers eventually."
Alex said.


The friends said their goodnights and went their separate ways. Off to bed and nice dreams.
The next afternoon, Hana had awoken, glancing at her large green digital lock that rested on the side table drawer. "12:24 PM". A personal record for the vocalist that went to bed so late. She dragged herself out of bed and went down the hall to Alex's room.  She was surprised to see her friend already wide awake, laying on her bed while playing her Playstation 2. Hana knew without a word her friend woke up not too long ago. Some otaku she was, with her rpg games.The men randomly invited the two women to an afternoon breakfast, taking them out to eat at a Japanese cafe that was quite popular on the plaza. When they returned, the translator Hana hired waited patiently on the band's hotel floor.
He was a middle aged man, and looked proper...or maybe it was just the reading glasses he wore that made it appear that way. Hana introduced him to everyone.  Keita Yoshimouto. Professional, quick-tongued translator.


After a shower that evening, Hana decided to try her new outfit on. After her brief rest, she went back to her bathroom. She quickly slipped into a black lace bra and panties before getting into her new dress. The dress was a wine colored red, made of the finest silk. The sleeves were bubbly, but fitted securely. Just above the chest area fitted into a round neck design, showing the top of her breasts and just enough of her cleavage. A black lace rose was pinned just above the right breast area, adding a sultry element to compete against the formal appearance. A long layer of silk ruffles cascaded in a curved angle starting at the middle of the dress and ending towards the bottom. The bottom of the dress was completed with a lace ruffles flowy enough to sway when she stepped. The dress was fitting all around, hugging her hour glass figure perfectly. It stopped just about mid thigh length.
-
She applied a light amount of eyeliner, mascara, and a pale-shaded pink blush. Her long chestnut hair touched the top of her breasts in thick waves, while her bangs were straight and swooped to the side, nearly covering one of her eyes. On the left side of her head was pinned a black lace rose barret. She snapped on her diamond studded earrings, fluffing her chestnut locks with her fingers to kink the volume. She then slipped on thigh high tights. They were sheer black, and transparent enough to see her skin. Finishing the outfit, the brunette slipped on her 3" inch black stilettos, which were simply mary jane styled with mid-foot straps, though sexy with a brilliant shine and thin heels.


The young woman admired herself in her full length mirror, laughing lowly at the look itself.
She didn't recognize for the moment, but the fact that herself and the woman in the mirror had synced movements, who else would this person be?
"Is this really formal?" Hana thought to herself with a bashful smile, clacking one of her heels against the floor in amusement.When she was satisfied with her appearance, the brunette called for her friend. Alex came into the room with Keita following.


"What do you guys think? Is this uhm, suitable?"
Hana asked with a shy smile, facing the two.


"You look amazing."
Alex complimented, pulling up the vocalist's dress
at her chest area.


"You're definitely a sight for sore eyes, Hana-chan."
Keita said as he smiled to the woman.


"Thanks, I'll need to look my best for the man."
Hana replied honestly, slightly insecure of Mana's expectations.


Sakai came into the room out of natural curiosity, wanting to rematch Alex in whatever video game they were playing. When his eyes captured the sight of Hana's shimmering red silk attire, he couldn't look away. His heart hammered against his chest and time seemed to have stood still for that moment. His chocolate brown eyes loved having a locked gaze on the tall vocalist, and if Sakai could, he would stare upon her for hours at a time. The guitarist wore a content look upon his face, yet again, his mind slipped away from reality for those few seconds.

"You look beautiful."
Sakai spoke his thoughts aloud.


"You think so? I hope Mana likes it as much as you do."
Hana replied with a bright smile.


"What? You want another man to see you this way?" Back to reality. The guitarist lent back against the wall, sighing to himself. Alex took his hand and started to pull on him, and Keita figured she wanted to continue playing more video games so he told Sakai she wanted a rematch. Hana laughed and watched her friend pull poor Sakai down the hall. Alex seemed comfortable, but more than anything, happy. Happy around Sakai. It was definatly provacative.
It was about 7pm when Hana's cell phone rang.  

It was Mana's driver, telling her that the car was in front of the hotel.  Mana was expecting her now, and right on time too.
She threw on a light leather trench coat, grabbing her purse and headed down to the ground floor. A black limousine pulled up right in front of her before she took another step down the block. She got into the car, and greeted the driver politely.

The car pulled up in front of a large house.  It looked like a mansion from what Hana could see through the dark windows of the car.  She got out after the driver told her that Mana was waiting for her. She took a deep breath and closed the car door behind her, walking up the small driveway and stopped at the mansion's large doors. Before her manicured nail could press against the doorbell, the door had opened. Mana stood before her with a light smile, gesturing her to come in. She smiled and nodded as he took her coat for her. Such style he had.  Hana couldn't help but admire how good the man looked. His thick dark hair was straight, stopping at the top of his shoulders. Her wore a white button down collared shirt with a black overcoat and black dress pants. He had expensive taste in clothing it seemed. Quite charming.

Hana's emerald eyes couldn't resist glancing at his naked hands, gazing at his talented fingers
that wore some sort of ring on each one. He led her to a balcony that had a a candlelit dinner table set up. She blushed lightly and took a seat as the pale man did as well. They ate the dinner Mana had prepared for them, and spoke about their career to one another, among other things.


"I must confess, Hana... You really are a feast for the eyes."
Mana spoke as his dark eyes locked onto hers.


"Ahah, you're quite charming. It seems I interest you?"
Hana replied with a firm tone that seemed to flow out so flirtatiously. But why?


"My, you're forward, aren't you? Well, I'll admit you do intrigue me."
The pale man responded to her, smirking lightly.


His dark eyes picked up the interesting bits of the vocalist. With such large breasts in such a tight, elegant dress, it was hard not to admire the sight. Mana made sure they had a full course meal to eat, so the night was far from over.


Meanwhile, back at the band's hotel, Alex and the boys played video games and were having a little tournament. Hours had gone by and eventually everyone was doing something else.  Alex and Sakai relaxed in the entertainment room after facing off in a heated DDR battle. They sat at the bar counter, drinking a few glasses of ice water as Keita sat not too far from them, translating for the two of them.


"You really are a fun woman to be around. Quite good at DDR too."
Sakai said to the tiny woman.


"Haha, lots of practice. its a fun game."
She replied, chugging down on her water
before running a hand through her straightened hair that seemed to fall in her face.


"So uhm, how's your love life going?"
Alex blurted out, but fell too late before she could stop Keita from translating.

"Mm, I can't really say I have one as of right now.."
The guitarist replied with a blank expression.


The tiny woman didn't want to pry. She had a good feeling what he wanted, and he seemed dedicated to his work. She fiddled with her long grey sleeves, stretching her legs out to get comfortable. She regretted wearing such tight pants, but it didn't bother her that much. There was a brief silence for a moment before Sakai asked if she wanted to play pool.


"Uhm, I don't really know how to play."
The tiny woman admitted.


"I'll teach you then. It's a fun game if you know what you're doing."
Sakai replied with a smile.


Alex didn't refuse, and she enjoyed the idea. The went over to the pool table. Sakai explained how the game worked and prepared the balls in the center of the table.  The tall guitarist handed her the pool stick, and got up behind her to show her hold to hold it correctly. She felt his abominates slightly graze her back, and it made her shudder.
As Keita translated his instructions, it was time for her move in the game. She aimed for the ball she had chosen, and strikes it with just enough force with the stick as it ricocheted with the other multi-colored balls around the table.


"Not bad for your first try."
Sakai said, walking to the other side of the table to demonstrate his move.



She blushed but payed close attention, leaning her thighs against the table. Her knees grew a bit weak, but damn, she really didn't want to think about the reason why she felt so flustered.
The guitarist smiled to her, and helped her with her move, standing behind her again to help with her arm positioning. She closed her eyes and tried not to tremble when she felt his hands lightly hold to her wrists. He had a firm grip, but she wasn't complaining. Their game continued after she got the hang of it, but she might as well lose a little if she wanted any more lessons. The tiny woman was daring, to say the least.
-
When Hana had finished her dessert, she felt satisfied. Mana had told her he had a great passion for cooking, and loved cooking french cuisine. The meal was more than impressive.
After their meal, Mana took the vocalist to his den quarters. It was a large, cozy looking room.
There was a large bookcase that covered the entire wall, a few armchairs and couches aligned around the room with an empty fireplace that went on during the winter. Far off in the room was a large organ where Mana practiced.
He played an elegant song on the organ for Hana. Though there were no words sung, each deep chord had its own meaning. The room echoed with each key, flowing beautifully into what sounded like an enchanting tune that had the reaction of being lost in a castle of some sort. When he was finished Hana clapped. Mana bowed lightly, before beckoning her to sit next to him at the organ.


"Care to try it?"
Mana asked firmly.


"I'd love to."
Hana replied, taking a seat next to the man on the bench like seat.


She had never played an organ before, considering she was used to the keyboard. The layout was about the same, though the sounds were a bit more complex. In about 5 minutes, Hana had composed her own short song. It impressed the producer greatly. As her fingers glided to each key, the song flowed into what sounded like a melancholy ballad. It definatly was something.


"I'm impressed. Your technique is interesting."
Mana said to her.



"Really? Usually when I'm at a piano, I release the emotions I feel. Somehow, the songs I create arent usually the happiest."
Hana confessed.



"Negativity is sometimes one of the higher forms of expression. Sometimes music gives us a taste of a darker reality that does indeed exist, my dear."
Mana spoke. His dark eyes locking onto hers.



"I couldn't agree more."
Hana replied in a low tone, feeling his eyes on her.



She just looked down at the keys of the organ, feeling her heart begin to pound.
Suddenly, he moved closer to the young woman, leaning close while planting his lips on the side of her neck to graze lightly at her skin. He smirked in amusement when an inescapable moan emitted from Hana's petite rouge lips. Before she could grasp what was happening, he began to kiss her neck some more, even deeper this time with each and every kiss. The vocalist felt her lips tremble. Mana's hands stroked the sides of her waist as he whispered into her ear.


"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.
