Within the next hour, the sugar was starting to kick in, make-up was on, warm-ups were completed and everybody was ready to go. The rowdy bunch met up with all their friends at the club, Gin trailing behind them. Sakura was dancing as soon as she was through the door and disappeared in the middle of the crowd on the dance floor. Grimmjow soon disappeared after her and the others were in the crowd in under a minute. Soon the crowd has danced themselves into a ring surrounding the crazy friends, dancing with each other's hands all over each other. Grimmjow and Sakura were grinding as Renji was pulling some stripper moves with Ichigo; Harribel had her tongue down some random guy's throat and Orihime and Chad were getting a little steamy over in a dark corner; everyone else was dancing dirty.
After half an hour of the dirtiest dancing Gin had ever seen, Sakura came over to him and hopped up on the bar stool next to him and told the bartender "The usual Boss, just with a 'simmon twist?" The man nodded, grinning and prepared her drink.
Gin couldn't help but notice her flushed cheeks and the sheen of sweat glistening on her skin. She had a lusty glint in her eyes and her breathing was a little on the heavy side.
"Having fun?" he asked her, grinning.
"Hell yeah – I think I've made the usual rounds. Grimm's been begging to try a few new moves with me so I think I'll indulge him. First things first, I need a little go-go juice. Thanks Boss!" She grinned as the black haired man handed her the drink. "Sugar-spiked lemon juice with strawberries and persimmon, yum…" She downed the tall drink like a pro, gently slammed the glass back down on the bar. "All set. I'm going to dance with Grimm…"
"Need me to put a little more security on?" the man asked.
"You haven't already, Shūhei?" she teased. "I'm ashamed – I told you I'd be here."
He grinned. "I have added more security but it wouldn't hurt to add another guard or four, especially if this is the move Grimm was bragging about…"
"Going up?" she wiggled her eyebrows playfully.
"Let me go get those guards before you consult the DJ – I think we're gonna need them," he said quickly and went to the back room.
Sakura laughed, "Smart man."
"'Going up'?"
"You'll see," she grinned mischievously. "This is gonna be great, Harribel better be taping this tonight."
Gin was very intrigued by this girl: in school she was relatively conservative but outside of school and now here in the club…she was a force to be reckoned with. Gin liked it.
She patted his arm. "I'm going to warn Grimmjow and chat up the DJ. If we don't have to leave after this, maybe you and I can dance. I'd dance with you now, but Grimm's been riding my ass all night – no pun intended – about it so…"
"It's okay. I'd like that." He smiled. "Go dance."
He watched her as she bounced over to Grimmjow and then over to the DJ. She flirted for a little bit and then made her request. A rapid beat started – a song he didn't recognize – and Sakura pulled Grimmjow onto the dance floor. The lights dimmed except for a mini light show in the middle of the room, focused on the pair, and the show started. She swung her hips against his and ground her ass into his hips. He gently lifted her arms into the air and held her wrists in one hand, the other placed firmly against her stomach, teeth grazing across her neck. A look of pure, unadulterated pleasure crossed her face. They were very handsy until Sakura spun out from him, his hand still wrapped around a wrist and she spun back into him, back to chest. Sakura gave him a suggestive smirk and dropped down and turned around as if she were about to give him a blowjob (despite the fact that he still had pants on) and drug her tongue from the top of his low-slung jeans all the way up his revealed chest (the buttons had been undone earlier) and his neck before their lips met in a fevered kiss. His hand cupped her ass and pulled her almost violently against him just before the song ended. As the song faded out, they separated grinning.
Grimmjow was still checking her out – at least her ass – as she made her way back to the bar.
The first words out of Shūhei's mouth were: "Holy fucking hot damn girl – you look up sexy in the dictionary and the page burns up 'cause it can't handle you…"
Sakura sat down. "Thanks Boss."
"Water?" he asked.
"Please," she groaned.
Gin was silently checking her out. Her hair was a mess, the sweat was more obvious and her cheeks were as red as her smeared lipstick.
Shūhei set a glass of ice water in front of the dancer and smiled. "Drink up, then hand over the red."
"You're a teddy." She winked.
Shūhei looked over at Gin. "Do you two know each other?"
"Gin's our new neighbor," Sakura added.
"Really – for?"
"Moved in this afternoon, right?" Sakura looked over at Gin too. He nodded.
"I give him one week. ¥500." Shūhei held out a hand to shake.
Sakura snorted into her ice water. "He's a toughie. I say a month at the least. Bump it up to ¥1000."
At Gin's cough they looked back to him.
"We're betting how long it'll take before you decide to move out," Sakura explained. "People in 4D normally say they were just passing through or found another place that was more suited for them after a few days. We're loud and rude and obnoxious. It's going to be strange having you next door." She handed her lipstick over to Shūhei who wiped off the old "red" and applied fresh.
"Pucker up. There ya go; one adorable cherry pout. Yeah, you're going to have to learn to put your clothes on before pestering Ichigo for a shirt to borrow." Shūhei chuckled.
"How the hell do you know about that?" She snapped taking the lipstick back.
He grinned. "I have my sources."
"It was Rangiku wasn't it? She's always trying to blackmail me into something…"
"Like those red garters and the lacy–"
She cut him off. "We don't talk about that shit around strangers." She glared at him with steely orange eyes.
"As you command, Your Sexiness." He gave a mock bow.
Sakura smiled, shook her head lightly and turned to Gin. "Wanna dance?" She held out her hand. "It's okay; I take it easy the first time around the floor. No worries, even if you have two left feet."
"I have a left foot and a right foot, we're good." He smiled and took her hand in his.
She sent a signal over to the DJ, who nodded and started the next song after the current one ended. It was a slower song, but still sensual.
"This sounds familiar…" he murmured.
"Tsunami by Southern All Stars," Sakura told him quietly. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he placed his large hands on her small waist. His hands on her bare skin felt so right, so natural.
I've been touched like this before…but somehow...it's different with Gin - and I don't think it's because we haven't known each other for a whole day yet… she thought. I don't know what it is…but I kinda like it.
She smiled gently at this thought. He led her around the dance floor, twirling her around and bringing her close to him. When she looked at his face she saw a genuine smile and her breath was snatched away from her chest when she saw the tiniest sliver of light sky blue from those barely open eyes.
It took her a moment to realize the song had ended and started to let go when Gin grabbed her wrist gently.
He whispered in her ear, "Going so soon? I was just getting started…"
Sakura involuntarily shivered at his tone but smiled at him. "You sure you can handle me?"
"Who's worried about handling who?" He grinned as he pulled her back into him.
They danced for a good hour and a half, much cleaner than she did with Grimmjow, but it still wasn't rated G. Lilynette had approached them and asked Sakura if she would accompany her to the "Little Sluts' Room". The brunette nodded before turning back to Gin.
"Safety in numbers," she explained. "We'll be back in a bit." She placed a hand on his cheek and then took Lilynette's hand and went off to the bathroom.
When they got there Sakura took care of business as did Lilynette and then patted her face with a damp paper towel.
"That feels nice." She groaned, a happy smile on her face.
"So, how's the new guy?" the green-haired girl pried.
Sakura giggled. "He's fine – and he has a name."
"Gin, yeah I know." The younger girl rolled her eyes. "Normally you drop them after one dance."
"He asked why I was leaving so soon when he was, and I quote, 'just getting started'."
"Kinky."
Sakura snorted. "Funny. I'm not that kinda girl Lil's, you know that."
"I know, but it's a lot of fun to tease you about it." She wiggled her eyebrows. "We'd better get back out there; the boys will be missing you."
"And you – you're as good as I am, you just don't show off." They exited the restroom laughing.
When they got back out they realized that it was three in the morning – the club was closing up. The group met at the bar. Sakura paid her tab and asked where Renji and Ichigo were.
"They went home about two hours ago – it should be quiet by the time you get back," Orihime said, giggling and hanging on Chad's arm.
"Well, at least I missed the fuck fest…" she muttered. The others laughed. "You try sleeping when they're just a room or two over, screwing each other's brains out. You think they're loud normally, they're even louder when they're fucking."
"Wasn't there something about olive oil?" Harribel asked innocently.
"I will never look at olive oil the same way again…" Sakura groaned trying to wipe away the memory.
"Olive oil?" Grimmjow asked.
Sakura chuckled nervously, "I needed some sugar and seeing as I'm normally allowed to knock and waltz in…well, Ichi's apartment was locked so I figured that if they were up to something they'd be in there, right?" She shook her head and snorted. "I walked into Renji's apartment, I knocked lightly just in case. Well, they didn't hear me and I didn't even have to walk into the kitchen to see Renji bending Ichigo over the counter, an open bottle of olive oil beside him. I never want to see those two in action ever again."
"Did they ever find out?" Gin asked.
"Renji noticed I wasn't going within five feet of the kitchen so he asked what was wrong. I told him. They've started locking the door and leaving a blank sticky note on the outside as a warning. It's a good little system we've got going – hasn't failed us yet."
Laughing, Grimm pulled on his coat. "Need a ride home, babe?"
Sakura was putting her jacket on too. "Nah, I'll just call a cab. Thanks though." She smiled at him. "You need to get back to your town anyway, I'm sure."
"Yeah, boss won't be happy if I'm away for too long." Grimmjow sighed, annoyed. "Oh." He dug in a pocket. "This is for you. Early birthday gift." He held out a heavy silver chain.
She took him from him and smiled at the gothic seven on the thick chain. "You sure Zommari doesn't want this?"
"Ask him yourself, he doesn't want it. I asked if I could have it and he gave it to me. Thought you'd like it." He shrugged.
She grinned and hugged him. "Thanks Grimm."
"It's nothing." He grinned and patted her back. "Lemme put that on for you." He convinced her to let go. She stepped back and he took the bracelet and clasped it around her wrist. "There, looking hot, babe. Then again, you always do." He wiggled his eyebrows.
"Thanks Grimmjow." She grinned. "But I'm not for sale."
"Wouldn't expect anything less from my favorite girl." He smirked. "Well, I'm outta here – see you around bitches." He looked at the locals. "Keep an eye on my girl, ne? She gets in any trouble lemme know."
"We know," Orihime told her ex. "Get outta here." She rolled her eyes.
"Keep it up and I might think you don't like me," he muttered. "Bye kitten."
Sakura sighed and waved back before turning on her friends. "Don't start this shit now. We're all going home."
Gin put a hand on her shoulder. "I'll take you home, Sakura, and I'm not taking no for an answer."
"I'm too tired to fight, just keep your hands to yourself and we'll be good."
"Wouldn't dream of anything else." He smiled. "Let's go."
The drive home was quiet, but Gin put the radio on something fast paced so they didn't fall asleep. He parked the car and walked Sakura to her apartment. He made sure she made it inside safely before he went to his apartment. She told him goodnight and gave him a quick hug before disappearing into the darkness to calm the vampire cat and go to sleep.
And this is only the first day of knowing him…Sakura thought as she drifted off to sleep, her vampire kitty sleeping on her stomach and keeping her plenty warm. It's only going to get more interesting from here on out…
