When Gray is Heated Up

This was a new city, a city that was alive, something that was a rarity these days. The sky was same old gray, but things were different in this city, no one lived behind a mask of decay, even the smell of the city had energy. Kiba, Hige, and Toboe didn't see the difference, but Tsume could, he had left the gang over an hour of reaching the city, and there was no sign of him.

A door swings open to a tattoo parlor, there is loud music playing in the back ground, and certain screams coming from the back. A smile appeared on Tsume's face.

"My kind of place" thought Tsume

A bald man with tattoo flowing on both arms, came from the back room, a short punk looking girl followed from behind. She had everything on her face pierced, and a lot of tattoos.

"Thanks Babe" said the girl giving the bald man a kiss on the cheek.

"No just make sure you keep THAT clean, and you should be fine" said the bald man

The punk rock chick walked out of the parlor.

"So what can I do for you?" asked the bald man

"Tsume!!" shouted Toboe waving his hand

"I can see the horns Tsume, what have you been up too?" asked Hige

Tsume said nothing, his eyes looked down.

"What the hell is that?!" asked Hige again looking at Tsume belly

"What do you think it is? paradise?" said Tsume "I got my belly button pierced"

Hige rolled his eyes, and Toboe just looked puzzled.

Kiba looked quickly at Tsume freshly belly button piercing, red filled his checks. Tsume caught sight and walked behind Kiba and put an arm around him.

"I'm glad I found someone who likes it" said Tsume biting Kiba's ear

"Tsume, stop it, save it for later" said Kiba blushing

Hige rolled his eyes again

The gray sky started to turn to black, as day turned to night, the streets started come alive. Neon signs lit up, club doors opened, and people flocked to all the clubs. Music played and alcohol was consumed as the night came to a start. The group came upon a club that hadn't opened up just yet.

"Perfect, we'll be the first ones in here" said Tsume

"oh fun" said Hige waving his finger in the air

"I'm not forcing you guys, leave, I don't care" said Tsume

There was a sigh of relief from Hige

" I think we are gunna go Tsume, we are tired" said Kiba as Toboe yawned

Kiba looked into Tsumes eyes, Tsume winked at him with the slightest of smiles, Something that only Kiba would notice.

"Alright, see ya" said Tsume

The group left not noticing the huge poster on the wall. It read in big red letters "ROCK SHOW ONE NIGHT ONLY DOORS OPEN AT 10pm COME SEE SOME HARDCORE BANDS"

The doors opened up with stairs leading down to a red glow at the bottom. A big red neon sign greeted people at the bottom, reading THE VELVET RED would flash. Through the arched door way opend up to a big ball room. It looked like the place had been through hell more than few times, band posters every where plastered the walls. At the front of the ball room was a stage with tattered red curtain.

People started to move to the front of the stage and waited the arrival of the band to start performing.

The lights went black as the crowed hooted and hollered. Tsume was right in the middle of the crowd, pulsing for the band to start.

"WE WROTE THESE PLANS..." was screamed as the curtain opened. The crowd started to move and thrash as the song started Tsume got caught up in the mosh pit that started. People punching, and jumping around

"What is this? a fight?" said Tsume to himself dodging punches and kicks. The fast guitars and screams from the band filled the small club. Tsume missed a punch to the head, and knocked some kid out. He jumped to miss another kick, and did his own kick into some ones face. That kid fell to the floor bleeding, Tsume laughed at the sight. Not looking right away Tsume got punched in the head, he fell forward slightly, then came back fists ready, eyes searching, quick not to let that happen again. found the kid laughing.

"THIS LOVE AFFAIR IS SOOOO LOST!!!!!" was screamed from the lead singer

Tsume went running up to kid laughing, and punched him in the stomach, the teen feel tot he floor, with some blood coming from his mouth The band slowed the song down, to a nice beat. Tsume moved out of the hellish pit, to a more safer part of the crowd. He closed his eyes taking in the beat of the song, and bobbed his head to it. Tsume clamed down and had to catch his breath. This routine went on for another 3 more hours, as different band played. Tsume left the club as the last of the band finished their set. He had a few bumps and burses, nothing he wasn't use too. There was a group of kids in the center of the club on the floor knocked out.

"Hmm" smiled Tsume rubbing his wrist as he left

Tsume walked down the street, past clubs and bars, and people passed out in the sidewalk. Tsume followed the sent of a familiar wolf, the sent lead him out of the city to the out skirts. There was the group of Hige, Toboe and Kiba.

"I waited up for you Tsume" said Kiba winking at Tsume
