AN: The new chapter is ready! This chapter is like an introduction to some pretty important events in the story, so it's like the first part. The real action is coming.

As always, I'm waiting for your opinions!

Minako always thought that having a boyfriend would be a nice feeling. She always dreamt about someone who would call her just to say he misses her, take her in his arms when she was sad, someone who would listen. Now that she had a boyfriend, although, yes it felt nice, she couldn't help but feel that something was missing. Guess, she had watched too much TV. Real life is never that good.

Three weeks had passed since she kissed Isamu by the fountain, and now, she guessed, they were officially a couple. Yeah, it felt nice to have someone.

She looked around the room looking for her boyfriend but he was nowhere to be seen. She sighed and drank a little bit of beer. She didn't like it but well, it was a party right? She didn't want to be the one who doesn't drink when everybody has fun. She looked at her school friends. Everyone was in a party mood and suddenly she also wanted to have some fun. Just not to think. She drank some more beer. No demon appeared during the last three weeks which was odd but she didn't mind. At least she could feel normal. She had a boyfriend, was at a party where she could have some fun like normal teenagers instead of fighting monsters. Talking about her boyfriend, he and his sister Mai were becoming quite popular over the last weeks. Actually, they organized this party in their beautiful, huge house. She was impressed when Isamu first took her there. The house looked like a mansion, with several bedrooms and a garden. Their parents had to be really rich. She only wondered why they need such a big house when Isamu and Mai were the only people who lived there most of the time. Minako never met their parents. Isamu told her that they were doing business abroad and they were rarely home. That was of course also the reason they were moving often.

When she ended her beer, Minako took a drink offered by a passing guy. She knew his face but couldn't remember the name. She thanked and sipped a little bit. The music was so loud that she couldn't hear her thoughts. People around her were swinging to the music, bodies melting together in the seductive Latino rhythms. The temperature inside was opposing to the cold winter outside. One couple was making out on the couch, some boys were surrounded next to beer barrel determined to break a record in emptying it, one girl passed out. Yeah, it was a real party, right? They had a reason to go a little bit crazy. The term had ended and winter break started. Why not to celebrate? Minako only wondered where her friends missed. She knew they were somewhere. She sighed and took another drink.

Ami didn't feel comfortable at all. Such parties, actually parties in general were not something for her. She politely refused when someone wanted to give her a drink and turned to Taiki. ''I don't know why I'm even here.''

''Me either. But well, Seiya told we should start integrating with the group'' Taiki shouted back and took some crisps into his mouth.

''I think it's a good idea to come out to people once in a while.'' Makoto gulped down her drink, straighten her green dress and mixed with a dancing crowd. Yaten sat down on the leather couch next to Taiki and Ami. ''Stupid Seiya. I should know this was a stupid idea.''

''Maybe if you drink you would feel better?'' Taiki proposed.

''Drink and act like these idiots.'' Yaten waved his hands at the drunk crowd. ''No thanks. Who knows if paparazzi aren't hiding somewhere.''

''You're exaggerating.'' Taiki said calmly but Yaten probably didn't hear him. Silver hair boy fixed his eyes on Minako who was standing next to the bar (yes, rich kids had even a bar) and sipping a drink. Her hair cascaded down her back in delicate waves (still no ribbon on her head). She had light yellow dress with a tinge of gold, beige close-fitting cardigan and high-heels. He tried not to notice how her legs looked in these high-heels and drees that didn't reach her knees. What he did notice, however, was that she was thinner, paler and looked somehow fragile. Apparently, relationship with the rich kid was not doing her well. Speaking of whom, Yaten wondered why her beloved left her alone. He grimaced when he remembered the day he found out about them. Minako and Isamu were walking into the school holding hands and when Isamu caught Yaten's gaze, he pulled Minako closer and kissed her deeply, marking her his property. Yaten shook his head. It was her choice. Suddenly, Taiki's voice pulled him out of his thoughts. ''What did you say?'' Yaten asked.

''I wonder where Seiya is. Hopefully he won't make any scenes.''

''Search for your love...'' Seiya sang with the music surrounded by admiring schoolgirls.

''He's impossible when he drinks.'' Usagi said loud enough for Rei to hear her. Raven-haired girl nodded.

''He's just having fun.'' Both girls turned around to see smiling Mai with two drinks in her hands. ''You also should try.'' She handed them drinks, which they hesitantly accepted, and moved between them to join Seiya. She took his elbow and said something into his ear. He nodded and they both mixed in the dancing crowd.

Usagi put her drink away. ''I won't drink anything from her.'' She looked at Rei, searching for support, but her friend had already drained her glass and now was reaching for Usagi's drink. ''What? It's a party right?''

''Ah, Rei-chan! You were suppose to be my friend!''

''Hey, just go there and get him back. Don't wreak your frustration on me.'' With that Rei also disappeared in the crowd not waiting for Usagi's response.

How many drinks did she drink, Minako did not know. However, what she did know was that she started to feel much better than she did before the party. Her head felt so light and free, finally it wasn't absorbed by any problems. Suddenly her body took the power over her head. Sweet music played in her ears and she wanted to dance. Her legs took her among the dancing crowd, her body swayed to the melody. It felt so good to let her body act. She felt free and it was fabulous feeling. She started to laugh. When was the last time that she laughed so sincerely? She didn't know that. What she did know was that she was having fun. A great fun.

''What's going on there?'' Taiki pointed at the whistling and applauding crowd gathered in the middle of the room. He, Ami and Yaten were sitting at the far end of the room where no one disturbed them.

''Who cares about the group of drunk idiots?'' Yaten was unaffected.

''Oh...'' Taiki started but cut off, not sure. ''Isn't that ... Minako? Dancing on the bar?''

''What?'' Ami choked and almost spat out her lemonade.

Yaten's eyes shoot up to the crowd pointed by Taiki. Yeah, indeed it was Minako.

It had been a long time since Minako felt that good. She swayed to the music and people liked it. And she liked it too. Suddenly she felt light, all of her problems and thoughts disappeared.

So this is called good fun, she thought. It was hot there, really hot so she decided to get rid of her cardigan. Slowly she unbuttoned it and took off. Underneath she wore short dress with close-fitting top but loose-fitting at the the bottom, and with bare back. Actually the back of the dress started slightly higher then her bottom was, at the small of her back, leaving her whole back exposed. Well, she didn't mind. Gathered crowd encouraged her with whistles and applauds. Finally they appreciated her. She tossed the cardigan at the crowd and her movements became bolder. She never felt that good in her own body.

Suddenly, without any warning, she slipped from the edge of the bar. She would have landed hard on the floor if someone hadn't caught her. Surprised she looked up into familiar green eyes.

''Having fun?'', Yaten asked looking a little bit angry. Why would he be angry? She couldn't think about the answer. The only thing that she could focus on was the feeling of his hands under her legs and on her bare back. Yep, that dress was definitely a wrong choice. She wanted to berate herself for letting her body feel so comfortable in Yaten's strong arms. ''Put me down'', she said instead and when he did she missed the feel of his arms. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Still, he rested one hand on her waist, helping her stand. ''Are you sure you're able to stand?'' She nodded and heard somebody shouting, ''Get her back on the bar!" She suddenly felt embarrassed and hoped that Yaten didn't see her whole performance. He didn't say anything just let her through the crowd until they were away from the rest.

''I can take you home if you want me to'', Yaten said gently. Why was he being so nice? She couldn't even look into his eyes after this humiliating dance on the bar.

''She doesn't want anything from you'', Isamu appeared by her side before she could reply.

''I didn't ask you.'' Yaten said sharply.

''I'll be fine'', Minako assured Yaten not even looking at him and let herself be taken by Isamu. They went upstairs and to his room.

''You can lay down if you want to,'' Isamu said and she accepted his proposition.

''I made a fool of myself, didn't I?'', she asked when Isamu sat next to her and started stroking her head.

''No. You were great. You are beautiful, you have beautiful body and your dance was very sexy. No wonder they liked it."

''What?'',' he asked when she looked at him in wonder.

''You said that I'm beautiful. I don't remember anyone saying this to me before.''

''It's true.'' He lowered himself on the bed so now he was facing her. ''You are very beautiful.'' He kissed her slowly at first and then more deeply. Minako laced her fingers through his dark hair as they kissed. His hands were stroking her bare back. She sighed when his lips and tongue moved down her neck. He moved so now he was laying on top of her, his weight pressing her to the bed. One of his hands drifted up her waist just below her breast, and the other was on her leg. She stiffened when his hand travelled up lifting her dress.

''Stop'', she said trying to move away but he didn't let go.

''Why? It feels so good.''

''I mean it.''

He looked at her surprised but finally moved away. ''I'm sorry. I thought you wanted to be closer.'' She slowly got up from the bed, straightening her dress. ''Not like that. Not when I'm wasted.'' She suddenly felt nauseous and run to his bathroom. She always felt disgusted with herself when she threw up. Luckily, Isamu didn't follow her and didn't see how pathetic she was. When she was done, she splashed cold water on her face, found toothpaste and using her finger brushed her teeth. When she got back to the bedroom Isamu was still laying on his bed, his arms under his head. ''Feeling better?''

''Yeah'', she nodded. ''Can you take me home?''

When Minako and Isamu were heading to the door he suddenly stopped. ''Go and wait by the car. I need to find Mai and I'll be right back.'' She nodded, took her jacket and headed to the door. There was no way she could find her cardigan that night, so she decided to ask Isamu about it tomorrow. At least, she'll be in the car so the jacket should be enough to keep her warm.

''Can I talk to you for a moment?'' Isamu asked when he noticed his sister talking to Seiya.

''Yeah, of course.'' She smiled at Seiya and then moved away with Isamu.

''What's going on?'', she asked.

''Tonight's the night.'' Isamu smiled at her.

''You're sure?''

He nodded and smiled again when he saw excitement in his sister's eyes. ''We know everything we need. There's no use in prolonging this play.''

''I started to like it.''

''Me too, but we don't have more time. Do you remember the plan?''

''Of course. I'll do my best.''
