Okay! Chapter 3! Hope you like this one... even though it's going to start out to be a Nanake/Tetsuo combo. Although there might be a slight surprise afterwards.



Forever





Chapter Three: Heat of the Night







Naki and Ophillia waved goodbye from the door to the couple getting into Tetsuo's car. The two got into the car and drove into the city that was lit up with lights. They parked, got out, and entered a dance club. Nanake's eyes lit up with amazement and excitement. Her eyes explored the large neon- lit dance floor. She took Tetsuo's arm and drug him out onto the dance floor. He chuckled and allowed himself to be pulled out there by this sparkling gem.

She wore a short, strapless blue sparkly dress. He wore black slacks, a white shirt and a black over coat. She giggled and drug him into the center of the dance area. She stopped and turned around. He looked at her face and smiled. It was beaming with enthusiastic happiness and excitement. The need to weave to the beat was screaming in her glittering eyes which were shimmering in the colorful lights flashing all around the club. She stepped close to him and kissed him on the lips sweetly and then smiled playfully up at him. He took her around the waist and started to move to the music's rhythm. They danced to the music, smiling, and looking at eachother up and down, as they danced closer together.



"*With the beat of the rhythm of the night

(with the rhythm)

Forget about the worries on your mind

(on you mind)

With the beat of the rhythm of the night

(with the night)

Forget about the worries on your mind

(on you mind)*"



Tetsuo swung here away and back, swinging himself away and back as he kind of spun then in a ninty degree angle. They join together again and he put his hands on her swaying hips as he danced with her, looking into her eyes, smiling. Nanake smiled back as she swayed her arms around in the air to behind her head and neck, back up in the air, and then onto his shoulders, enjoying her time dancing.

("It feels great to just let myself go. Tomorrow is the day of the tournament and then I don't think I'll be having much fun for awhile. There's going to be a lot of pain... But just for tonight, Tetsuo... let's have some fun.")



"*When it feels like

The world is on your shoulders

And all of the madness

has got you goin' crazy

It's time to get out

Step out into the street

Where all of the action

is right there at your feet*"



Tetsuo grinned and pulled her closer to kiss her, but she spun away playfully and giggled, dancing alone in the center of the dance floor. Fans of her's pointed and smiled in recognition. Men turned their heads in her direction while sitting at the bar. Tetsuo persued her with a smirk on his face and danced along side her. The two definately caught attention off the people of the club... especially a couple entering the club.



"*Well, I know a place where we can dance the whole night away

And it's called the Moulin Rouge

Oh, just come with me and we can shake your blues right away

You'll be doin' fine once the music starts

Oohhh yeah!*"



Nanake laughed and watched Tetsuo dance. She clapped to the beat and giggled at the fact that he was actually break dancing. He spun on the ground doing several tricks and twists until he spun his way right back up and stood face to face to her. He smirked and gave her a quick kiss on the lips and she backed away laughing happily. She bumped into a rock-hard body behind her and she turned, still giggling to apologize when she gasped at who it was.



"*With the beat of the rhythm of the night

Dancin' 'til the mornin' light

Forget about the worries on your mind

We can leave them all behind*"



"Well well well... what have we here?" He smirked deviously.

("AUGH! THIS ISN'T FAIR! WHAT A TIME FOR AN IRONIC CLICHE`!") Nanake screamed inwardly in rage. As the buff character took her into his arms, surprisingly gentle.

"What are you doing?" She glared at him. Her voice failed her expression, as it stammered nervously.

"The woman brought me here to dance so I might as not disappoint her." He smirked.

"But... YOU can't dance can you? I mean- I highly doubt that you're going to dance to this with YOUR ego!"

"Ah ah..." he put a finger to her mouth and brought her closer, "You still underestimate me. How very foolish of you, woman."



Her neck and shoulder ached with him near as a sign of guilt for separation, and he started moving to the rhythm, his hands on her hips.



"*Look out on the street now

The party's just beginning

The music's playin'

A celebration's startin'

Under the street lights

The scene is being set

A night for romance

I night you won't forget*"



Tetsuo stood dumbfounded at the rather short couple dancing, easily picking up on the beat. He was also surprised that such a grouchy looking man would be able to dance like that. It actually kind of scared him. The woman standing not too far away from them with aqua hair didn't seem to happy either with the shade of red her face was turning.



"*So, come join the fun

This ain't no time to be stayin' home-

Moulin Rouge is goin' on

Yeah!

Tonight is gonna be a night like you've never known

We're gonna have a good time the whole night long

Ohh... yeah!*"



Once the shock that he could and his ego would actually allow him to move like that faded, Nanake actually started to smile and laugh. She began to have fun once again. He spun her fast and quickly clutched her hand, stopping her spinning. He smirked at the bright smile on her face. She swayed her hips, dancing on her own until he joined in, taking her hips once again, running his hands up and down her body. He brought her closer, and she wrapped her arms around his thick neck. Their dance looked much like a quick slow-dance style. He breathed in her scent, nuzzling his nose in her hair. He smiled. It felt right even after all this time.





"*With the beat of the rhythm of the night

Dance until the morning night

Forget about the worries on your mind

We can leave them all behind

With the beat of the rhythm of the night

Dance until the morning night

Forget about the worries on your mind

We can leave them all behind*"



Their dance slowed to s stop where they just stood looking into eachother's eyes. Tetsuo knew where this was going, but he was frozen still on the floor. He watched in dismay as their faces inched closer.



"*And it's called the Moulin Rouge!!!*"



Nanake was surprised to find herself sneaking closer to him as he was towards her. They were so close that their noses touched.

("I shouldn't be doing this...")



"*With the beat if the rhythm of the night

(feel the rhythm)

Forget about the worries on your mind

(leave them behind)

With the beat if the rhythm of the night

(feel the rhythm)

Forget about the worries on your mind

(leave them behind)*"



Both Tetsuo and the aqua-haired woman's jaws dropped as Vegeta's mouth engulfed Nanake's in a passionate kiss. He touched her face lightly as their tongues danced together. Nanake seemed to be trying to pull him closer than possible. Tetsuo watched in pain for awhile before turning away.



"*We can leave them all behind...*"



The music thinned and stopped and filtered into a slower song. This made Vegeta pull away for a moment and look into her eyes. Nanake looked straight back into them and smirked.

"This is gonna give the author bad reviews, you know that..."

"Ask me if I care." He smirked and danced slowly, close to her.



"*Placing starry peices in a crescent glass dish

What do I do?

My heart, my heart is filled*"



Vegeta suddenly had serious expression on his face, looking at her, that made her feel uncomfertable.

"Uhm... Yes?"

He chuckled and nuzzled into her hair, breathing in her scent.

"Vegeta?"

"What, woman? Don't ruin this for me."

"...O-okay... Sorry."

"Don't be." He kissed her on the cheek gently and went back to nuzzling her hair, holding her close.



"*When the fireworks become stars

And loves disappears into shadow

Please don't stop the kiss*"



He pulled her closer and rested his head on top of her head as they swayed in place. Nanake nuzzled up to his chest and closed her eyes.



"*Take me away with the scent of velvet

To the love this heart met in the Milky Way*"



Vegeta walked her outside and picked her up in his arms. Nanake gasped as he started to float up.



"*The cape of dawn is rainbow color

Love me more

Tuxedo Mirage

Tuxedo Mirage*"



"Vegeta! Wait!" Nanake shrieked when he was half way as high as the dance club building, "You can't just take me away- I... I..." She looked down at her bosom.

("Oh shit... the pendant! It's at home!")

Vegeta saw her face grow pale and kissed her forehead gently,

"My little Nanake, don't be afraid."

"Oh... Uhm... Well then... why don't we go... uhm... back to my place?" Nanake requested shakily.

"Wherever..." He smirked and let her afloat n her own in the air, "Just lead."



She flew to her house and Vegeta followed. She quickly ran inside and grabbed her pendant before vegeta entered. She whirled around and was about to flash him with the magical pendant but then remembered: He was in her house. She had to get him out and away from there. He quickly entered the bedroom she was in and smirked slyly at her.

"Uhmm... Vegeta... on second thought, why don't we go back to the club?" She moved to go past him, but ended up walking into his hard body as he moved to block her way.

"No. You had the right idea to begin with." He gave her a shove towards the bed. She fell backwards onto her and Tetsuo's bed and gazed, frightened up at the Saiyan Prince, looming and smirking deviously over her.

"Vegeta... we shouldn't be doing this... We really-"

"-Should." He started to crawl upon her. She layed down on her back, letting him do so and said,

"Vegeta... please. I really can't-"

"Yes you can." He said before kissing her neck.

"Vegeta..." She closed her eyes, almost submitting to the magic he so easily worked on her but then mumbled, "Flash sphere."

A huge aqua sphere surrounded her and expanded quickly, throwing Vegeta off of her. She smashed through a window behind her and hit the skies. Vegeta smirked and flew after her.



("I have to end this quickly! I can't let this happen tonight. I REALLY can't... Just a little further and then I'll be back at the disco club, and then I can-") Her train of thought was cut off by Vegeta tackling her in mid-air and sending them both crashing to the ground. When the pain in her head subsided, Vegeta was straddling her and looking down upon her with a look of concern as he brushed a few strands of hair away from her eyes. He bent and kissed her softly as she reached for her pendant. When he finished, he sat back up and looked down upon his beautiful treasure he had finally found. Nanake smiled up at him and for once was sure of his feelings. She smiled and whispered softly,

"I love you..."

He smiled and was about to bend down and kiss her again, but...



FLASH!!!!!!!
