Chapter 7.
Bribery and self interest.
By the end of the day, two out of five boys were complaining…I'll give you one guess who they were. " Ow!!! Make the bad lady stop!" Duo moaned out in agony. He was soon joined by Quatre, " I'm not one to complain," he started, " But……ow…." The two boys flopped down on one of the many beds. The two looked over to the corner of the room, where Wufei was standing, when they heard a grunt, " You guys are weak, although I must admit that it was a strenuous day. She takes no pity on anyone." Everyone's eye widened, especially Duo's, " Wait, wait, wait…..did I just hear you refer to Setsuna not as women, or onna??? The world must be coming to an end!" Wufei just glared daggers at him. " Sorry…." He said, as he slouched back down onto the bed. Wufei couldn't stand it anymore, he had to sit down. He walked over to one of the chairs, and plopped down in a semi graceful way. Heero raised a questioning eyebrow, but decided against saying something. Just as they were all about to settle there body's down for a nice deserved rest, they heard a knock at the door. Everyone looked at each other, " I'm not getting it!" everyone said at the same time. Heero, being the only one standing, rolled his eyes, and started the painful walk towards the door. As he opened it, he was shocked to see All five girls. Rai was the one who had knocked on the door. She looked over Heero, and noticed that he was only wearing his boxers. " Ah," she started, " If this is a bad time, we could come back later…" she said slowly. Heero looked over at Heedura, whose eyes were wide. Naturally, Heero didn't say anything, just moved
out of the way so they could come in. When they were all inside, Setsuna by force, Heero closed the door and walked back to where he came from. " So who was at the door?"
asked Trowa. His question was quickly answered when all five girls came strolling into the area. Duo couldn't help but laugh. ' This should be the perfect picture in there eyes.' He thought to himself. When Heero had gone to the door, the rest of the guys decided to pile onto the bed, for a nice session of relaxation… needless to say, it looked like a giant orgy. Rai was the first to laugh, then, as if it was expected, pulled out a camera from her bag. " Smile!" she said laughing. All the guys turned to look, and each had a surprised look on their face when they saw the flash, except of course for Duo, who had managed to put on a giant smile, and throw his leg over Wufei in a matter of seconds. All five girls erupted in laughter, even Setsuna couldn't help but chuckle. All at once, the four guys on the bed made a lunge towards Rai. All missing by at least three feet. The only one who didn't bother, was Heero, only because he wasn't in the picture. ' Damn I'm glad I got up to get the door.' He thought happily to himself as he watched four against one…..the one winning the battle. " Give it up," Said Heero in his normal tone, " You're not going to get it." He finished. All four of them looked over at Heero, dropped their heads and then started once more. " Give it here!!!!" screamed Duo as he lunged at Rai. That moment was the only time one of them actually caught Rai by surprise. The two fell over, with Rai on the bottom, and Duo of course on top. Rai lay there, surprised beyond belief, which soon faded away, and was replaced by, what looked like to the guys, happiness. Duo got a confused look on his face. " It's about damn time!!!" she screamed out. " What are you talking about?" asked Wufei, still looking red from embarrassment, and overly pissed off. Rai started hugging Duo, chanting to herself, " Yay, yay, yay, yay!!" Duo got a look of surprise on his face, " Not that I mind, but, why are you hugging me?" he asked carefully. She stopped, and stood up, pulling Duo up with her. Then, she walked over to the rest of her group and stood in front of them with a happy smile on her face. " Alright, it's time for everyone to pay up." She said happily. This just proved to confuse the guys even more as they watched the exchange of money. Trowa said nothing, but raised a questionable eyebrow, Heero just stood there, Wufei looked just as confused as Quatre and Duo, but, surprisingly, Quatre was the one to ask, " Why were you betting on Duo?" he asked, in his polite voice of course. Rai turned to them, counting her money with happy dollar signs in her eyes. " Well, I told the rest of the girls how Duo would never act aggressively towards me, and that, if he didn't, he would never be able to knock me down, so, I started planning a scheme. There are cameras in this room, but, no matter how hard you look you will never find them, and that's how I knew the perfect time to come in. They all thought that he would never be able to do it, so I started a bet, and, of course, I won." She finished, tucking the money into her bra. Everyone got a look of comprehension on their faces. " I see. So, this was just one big trick to see if I could knock you down?" asked Duo. Rai looked up at him with an evil smirk tugging at the side of her mouth. " Not entirely." She said. This, once again, proved to confuse Duo, (Not like it's hard anyways!) " Well, see, we all wanted something we could bride everyone with, you know, it's for training. You don't give everything you have in training, and believe me, we do know when you give everything, but anyways, if you don't give all, with threaten you with going public with the picture at your school, which we all now attend. It's really very simple you see?" she said, waving her camera around.
Duo dropped his head into his hands. Heedura looked over to Heero, who was smirking slightly. " Don't think so highly of yourself Mr. Perfect." she said, waving around a
picture she had in her hand. His smirk vanished very quickly. " What's that?" he asked coldly. Heedura laughed, " You don't need to know, all you need to know, is that it could severely hurt your image." She said, finishing happily and with a huge smile, then tucking the picture into her back pocket. " Well," started Rai, " Were off to go work on our bar. See you guys tomorrow!" she said, turning on her heel and walking towards the door, but she stopped just when she had her hand on the door knob, " Oh, and, don't forget to wear something you're not afraid to sweat in!" and then walked out the door, laughing all the way out. The guys all sat down on the bed, but, when they realized what they had done, moved their separate ways.
Out in the hall…..
" Did you see the looks on their faces!!! It was priceless!!!" Yelled Anna, as she linked arms with Rai and Michiru. " I know! This has to be the best idea you've ever come up with Rai….maybe even the only good idea you've ever come up with!" joked Michiru. Rai just looked at them with a fake smile and narrowed eyes, " Ha, ha, very funny!!! Now let's go! If were lucky we can open the bar in two days." She said, as she picked up the pace. " That's if the carpenters did what they were supposed to." Said Setsuna coldly from behind. Heedura linked arms with Setsuna, who just looked at her like she was crazy or something, but of course Heedura ignored it. " You're always such a party pooper!!! And plus, I know they did their job." She said with an evil grin. Anna looked back at her, " What did you do to them?" she asked with a smirk on her face. " Oh, nothing," she said smoothly, " I just made sure that they weren't going anywhere until they finished." She looked over at Setsuna, " And Setsuna helped out with that." She said, nudging her in the side. Setsuna tried to hide the smirk that was pulling on her lips, but she couldn't do it. " Oh, you didn't?" said Rai, as she turned around. If it had anything to do with Setsuna, it of course was bad, and what made it even worse, was that Rai knew it had something to do with that demon cat of hers, Precious. " You didn't leave Precious with…tell me you didn't." Rai pleaded with her. Setsuna looked at her as they walked out the door to the base, " Sorry, but I don't lie." She said simply. Rai sighed, " Figures." She said as she walked over to the van. " You did tell the thing not to kill them didn't you?" Rai asked hopefully. Setsuna just nodded her head yes, " I told her that they were not to leave until the place was fully renovated." She said as she got into the front seat. " Fair enough, just as long as they're not dead." Said Rai, as she hopped in the back with Michiru and Anna. When they arrived at the bar, they were happy to see that there were no cars in the parking lot, and even happier when they walked in. Everything was exactly how they had asked for it. The bar counter was big and had lot's of space behind for movement. There were two platforms for dancers, and one for the occasional stripper, pole included. The booths looked perfect as they ran almost all along the side wall, and the occasional table around the dance floor. The bar of course had stools for the peoples who were either alcoholic, single, or needing to be alone. The color of the room was almost all black, except for a little bit of purple around the edges. Rai couldn't help it. She let go of Anna's arm, and started to skip around the room. It wasn't humongous, but it wasn't little either. It was something you could call your local bar. She stopped in the middle of the room. And looked at everyone else with a devilish smile on her face. " Anna, the outfits are
ready right?" she asked. Anna tore her eyes away from there bar, and looked at Rai, " Yep, there all ready for whenever we want to open." She said happily. The smile on Rai's
face grew wider. " Screw opening tomorrow, were open for business tonight!!" This got everyone's attention. Heedura was the first to recover from shock, " Are you dense??? Are you forgetting the fact that we don't have any booze???" she asked, looking ready to rip out her hair. Rai just shrugged her shoulders, " A detail." She said calmly as she walked to her bag that she had set down when they came in. She took out her cell phone, and dialed a number. The rest of the girls listened to the conversation. " Hello? François? Change of plans, instead of bringing it tomorrow, I need it in the next hour……uh huh…….uh huh…….I don't care what you need to do, I need it in the next hour and you will get it here or I will rip out your throat and feed it to wolves!!!!…….that's what I thought, bye!" she finished cheerily. She closed her phone, and looked towards the group of shocked girls. " The booze will be here in ten minutes, so let's start setting up the bar!" she said as she walked behind the bar. " Well, come on! Anna, I need you to go get the outfits, and Setsuna, I need you to set up a light setting and music." Said Rai casually taking charge. " We have a small problem. We don't have any music." Said Setsuna flatly, not willing to do anything at the moment. Rai sighed, " You guys think so little of me!!" she said, as she disappeared into the back room that was behind the bar, and came out with a huge bag. Heedura sighed and started massaging her temples, " You had this all planned didn't you?" she said calmly, trying to keep her cool. Rai smiled, " Not exactly, I just kept them here just in case we needed to start ahead of schedule." She brought the bag over to Setsuna, who took it with a very cold face on. She brought it over to where the D.J would be, and set them by the table. Around five minutes later, while they were adding last minute touches, Anna walked in with a giant bag. " Perfect!" Rai said with a big smile on her face. She went over, and took the bag from Anna, then, handed out each persons outfit. When she handed Setsuna hers, she got a look of disgust on her face. Rai sighed, and pushed the outfit into her arms, " Yes you have to wear it." She said, knowing what Setsuna was really thinking at that moment. Setsuna sighed and headed off towards the direction of the bathrooms. Rai just walked behind the bar, and changed there, not really caring who saw. 'Hell, it might even attract some customers!' Rai thought cheerily to her self. She had just finished putting on the ears, when a someone knocked on the large wooden doors. " That must be François." She said to no one in particular. She bounced happily over to the doors, and opened them to reveal a short man with dark brown hair. " Ah, François, do come in, and don't forget to bring the alcohol with you!" she said with a wink, opening the door a little wider to accommodate the boxes, and other such things. There were five men that came in, with two carts each. Rai couldn't help but look at it all and drool. She was brought out of her daze by a tap on her shoulder. " Madam, if you would be so kind as to pay me now, so I can get back to the funeral, it would be greatly appreciated." He said in a sad tone. " Oh, of course, " she said as she walked over to her bag, and took out her purse, " Here you are!" she said handing him a large sum of money. " Thank you, thank you very much!!" he said, looking at all the money. He walked out slowly, still counting all the money, and with a strange little laugh. " What a creepy guy." Rai said to herself. She shrugged it off, and walked over to where the guys were now un-loading all of the alcohol, and sloppily placing them on any spot of the shelf. Rai walked up to one of them, " Here, move out of the way and let a professional do it!!" she said, pulling up her sleeves, and grabbing around four bottles of different liquor. She put them all in the perfect place, not far from
reach of anywhere from behind the bar, and waited until the rest of the ugly fat guys brought the rest of it behind the bar so she could put them in the right spot. After about ten minutes, all the bottles were in perfect place, and she had already set up the hose for the water and juice and pop. Just then, Anna walked behind the bar, and saw what she had done. " Good job girlfriend!!! So, who's gonna be that bartender?" she asked curiously. Rai bit her lip, and went into deep thought. When she came out of it, she had a look of satisfaction on her face. " That's easy, " she said looking around, until she spotted her, " Setsuna!!" she yelled, getting an immediate response from her. " You'll be working the bar tonight!" she said cheerily. Anna's mouth dropped, " Are you sure that's a good idea??" she asked, emphasizing the word good. Rai just looked at her, " Of course! She doest like wearing the costumes, so I will put her behind the bar so no one can get at her, therefore no one will get injured." She finished. Throughout the explanation, Anna had been taking in all the facts. " I suppose that could work, but what about the really drunk guys and girls who try to order her around?" she asked, trying to show Rai all the facts, and what could possibly happen. " Hmm….I never thought of that…." She said slowly. Then, as if a light bulb popped up above her head, she smiled. " I have the perfect idea!!" she said, walking over towards where Setsuna was. " Setsuna, here's the deal, with every person who orders you around, and you don't hurt them, I will give you 20 bucks each. Do we have a deal?" she said extending her hand. Setsuna looked at her strait in the eye, " Make it 30 and we have a deal." She said calmly. Rai went into her thinking phase again. " 25." She said, compromising. She was rewarded as Setsuna put out her hand, " Deal." She said in the same tone of voice. Rai took it with a giant smile on her face, and walked back over to Anna who looked shocked, " See, a minor detail in our schedule, which is, of course, taken care of very easily." Anna lost the shocked looked, which was replaced by a look of satisfaction. " Good job." She said simply, as she walked around behind the bar, to grab herself something to drink. " Ah, a nice little sot of tequila is what I need to calm my nerves." She said, as she poured a small shot glass full of Baja Rose, and downed it, then washed the glass. Rai just laughed at her, " I think I could use a shot of that to." She said pouring one for herself.
