No other club could compete with Tsunami when it comes to good food, hard drinks and wild entertainment. Best drinks? Tsunami. Best dancers? Tsunami. Most likely to pass a sanitation test? Tsunami.

And it belongs to Tai Kamiya, warlord of the Kamiya Clan.

The night grew wild for all who partied their hearts out in the magnificent restaurant/club. Some would let their liquor take them away from the real world while others would get down on the dance floor, movin' to the hardcore techno beat. Flashing colors were dazzling throughout the dancefloor whenever a challenge was made. At the bar, the bartender was having her hands full with a lot of men and women shouting out what they want to mingle with their blood.

One of those people was a blonde young man in black, eyes shadowed by a pair of shades.

"Hey, pal. What would you like? A wallbanger? Whiskey? What will it be?" the bartender asked in a snappy way.

".... I'd like some milk. Two percent fat free," T.K. shouted out loud, trying to get his message past the booming music and right to the bartender. Strangely, even though he shouted it out, the bartender noticed a sense of coolness from his voice.

"Okay. Milk, it is. What you like in it?" the tender asked.

"Don't spike it. Just natural milk, okay?" T.K. asked. This made her raise a brow.

".....oooookay. Milk, comin' right up." As the tender wore a smirk and turned her back to T.K. to get the milk ready, a couple of guys on his right side were chuckling to themselves and gave T.K. a funny look. T.K. noticed, and he was beginning to grow annoyed by it. When T.K. got what he asked for and took a couple of gulps, the two guys chuckled even more.

"What's the matter, little boy? Too young to have some liquor like real men? Why don't you get some cookies to go with it?" one guy blurted. The man sitting next to T.K. drew out his hand and attempted to pinch T.K.'s cheek, wanting to treat him like a baby and humiliate him even more. As his hand was inches away from T.K.'s face, T.K. slapped his hand away and smashed the guy's face with the back of his right fist. The guy felt his mighty blow and got knocked right off his seat. The other guy saw everything, seeing his buddy out-cold with a broken nose and blood streaming all over his mouth. The other guy's heart began to pound with fear as T.K. gave him eyes of burning hatred through his glasses. Quickly, he got out of his seat to help his friend up.

"We'll be out of your way. We're... we're sorry we caused any tro-"

"Either you leave now or I'll have you join your friend," T.K. said gently. As the one with the broken nose was half-conscious, he was helped up by his friend and was escorted away from the professional. T.K. faced his seat to the bar and took another gulp.

"Hey, not bad. Been working out?" the tender asked as she gave him inviting eyes.

"Well... once in a while. Hey, do you know if Kari Kamiya will be performing tonight?"

"Oh, you better believe it! Whenever things get a little too fast-paced here, Mr. Kamiya wants his little sis to sing some soft music to slow things down. Mr. Kamiya felt that too many clubs never play any soft music. So he had Kari perform so he could cool people down and keep things under control," the tender answered.

The music began to die down and the flashing, colorful lights were turned off. Seeing the room-lights lit, the deejay took up the mic.

"HEY, EVERBODY! IT'S TIME TO TAKE THIS VOYAGE TO A SLOW, GENTLER PACE. SHE'S THE ONE YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! LADIES AND GENTS, LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR KARI KAMIYA!!"

As the men heard her very name, all of them jumped up from their seats and ran for the tables closest to the stage. T.K. was impressed that Kari could get that kind of attention.

"Hey, sexy. If I were you, I'd join those pack of wolves. You might miss an opportunity of a lifetime, if you know what I mean," the tender said. Feeling a sensation rush through his hands, T.K. got up from his seat, took his milk with him, and found the closest table possible.

There must have been at least 50 guys waiting to be entertained by one of the most beautiful female musicians in all of Tokyo. Luckily, T.K. sat at one of tables closest to the stage. As the other men spoke about their favorite singer, T.K. felt his heart pounding harder.

(Man, what's up with me? Okay, T.K., just keep your cool. Remember the reason why you're here. Don't.... don't let your emotions get in the way of your mission...)

As he slowly took another gulp out of his milk, the stage-lights shined up the stage. On the stage was Kari, wearing a white, glittering dress and a lovely gold necklace. Lying on the piano on her side, she leaned on her elbow and gave the boys a wink. Seeing her gorgeous eyes and nice curves, many of the guys howled and whistled for their performer. Slowly, Kari sat up on the edge of the piano, flipped her short hair over her shoulder and crossed her silky legs. As Kari brought her mic to her mouth, she turned her eyes to the pianist.

"Hey, Izzy. Let's do one of my personal favorites: 'Set Me Free.' Slow, soft and sweet. Okay?" Kari asked.

"You got it Kari," Izzy said.

As Izzy let the piano come to life with his fingers, Kari began to sing the slow song.

Set me free...
Take me away....
I've got to find my true love today!
Could you be the one I'm seekin?
Your beauty leaves me weakened!
Set me free riiiiight noooow......

The lyrics and the piano keys were playing together like magic when they started the slow jazz song. The men near the stage and everybody else let the music sink into their beings and take them to a more beautiful world.

As Kari continued to sing, she caught a blonde man in black with a corner of her eye. Trying to keep her song in rhythm, she was mesmerized by the man's handsomeness. She could tell that underneath that black outfit was a hard man, and hard men were hard to come by. When she was done with her second verse, she licked the tip of her finger as her eyes were set solely on T.K.

T.K. never took his eyes off of Kari for one second. Her lovely features and her enchanting voice rendered T.K. helpless. Kari got up from her piano and began to strut towards T.K. As she was almost done with her song, she sat on T.K.'s lap and slowly took off his sunglasses. T.K. felt powerless to do anything as he felt her nice ass on his thigh and her soft hand caressing his face. Eye to eye, face to face, Kari softly sang her last words.

Set me free...
Take me home tonight....
When we're together, we'll be suddenly out of sight!
Don't you dare disappoint me!
I really need you inside me!
Set me free.... toooooniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.......

The whole capacity crowd applauded when Kari finished her soft song. Rather than stick around to gather around Kari, all the men got up from their tables and walked off. They knew that if any man messes with Tai Kamiya's sister, they'd be asking for a hell of a lot of trouble.

T.K. was the only one who didn't leave his seat. That's because Kari was still sitting on his lap.

"Hey, you're kinda sexy. What's your name, lover-boy?" Kari asked candidly, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"My name is.... T.... K.," T.K. answered nervously.

"Relax, T.K. It's not like I'm gonna bite your head off or anything. This was the first time I've ever got off the stage and approach a man like this! I... I was wondering if you can escort me home? You do seem more competent than my bodyguards, not to mention much handsomer," Kari said. T.K. blushed 3 shades of red. Nervously, T.K. began to open his mouth.

".... sure. We can hop on my Kawasaki Ninja. Just tell me the way, and we'll be there in a split second," T.K. said

"Awright. I'll meet you outside the front door," Kari said.

------------------------

Kari held on to T.K. as they drove down the Tokyo streets with amazing speed on his Ninja. Judging from how well T.K. received the directions and how fast he was going, they weren't too far from Kari's apartment.

"Hey, Kari! How come your brother let you come with me? Isn't he worried about letting you go from under his wing?" T.K. asked through his helmet.

"Oh, don't worry about him. He knows I'm a big girl who can take care of herself. Besides, for some reason, he thinks you might be the right one for me. Personally, I think he might be right..." Kari answered through her helmet.

T.K. and Kari finally made it to her nice apartment. As T.K. perfectly parked his bike, they walked right into the building, took the elevator and entered her apartment.

T.K. was astonished by Kari's interior decoration. The floor and walls were made of pine wood, and the walls were covered with beautiful paintings from Feudal Japan. Not only did she have a lovely living room with a 48-inch television set and a huge stereo, but she also has a very cute kitchen with white tiles on the walls.

"Man, I got to give a lot of credit to your interior decorator. This is one of the most beautiful apartments I've ever-"

Kari came from behind T.K. and began to slither her arms around T.K.'s body. T.K. froze and let out a light gasp as Kari lightly brushed her lips on his neck. Slowly, Kari unbuttoned his shirt and let her hand travel inside to feel his rock-solid pecs. T.K. closed his eyes as he felt her soft hands all around his chest. As she gave his left earlobe a light lick, Kari released T.K.

"There's something about you that's making me so.... well, you know what I mean. Hey, T.K.... I'm going to get into something a lot more.... comfortable. I got a feeling this is gonna be the best night of my life!" Giggling with joy, Kari rushed to her bedroom to find the finest lingerie.

T.K. still stood where Kari shared a piece of herself with him. T.K. couldn't believe that a woman like her would be so attracted to him so quickly. He also couldn't believe that he could fall for a woman he never met before.

Slowly, T.K.'s face returned to stone. As he raised his right hand next to his head, a handgun popped out of his trench coat's sleeve and was snugged into T.K.'s hand. His finger lightly caressed the trigger. Seconds later, when he released his gun, the lethal weapon popped right back into his sleeve. The cold eyes beneath his sunglasses were still set on the unsuspected Kari.

"This will be the best night of your life, Kari... but it's also gonna be your last...." he whispered to himself.
