Chapter Four: Karaoke Hell

"How many?" Asked a Chinese lady. She was wearing a traditional Chinese dress called "Cheongsam". Her hair was up in two buns held up with chopsticks ((I forgot the real name for them!!)).

"Six." Replied Hiirou. "Ok, follow me." She walked them to the back of the Chinese restaurant which was called "China Doll".
"Here you go. And what would you like to drink?"
"Water if fine." "Mt. Dew." "Mr Pibb for me!" "Green Tea." "SAKE!!" Both Duo and Sakura said at the same time. "All right. And will you be having the buffet or ordering off the menu?"
"I'm not really hungry." Said WuFei, Hiirou, Trowa, and Quatre at the same time.
"Ok. And you two?" She looked at Duo and Sakura. They nodded their heads.
When the lady brought over their drinks, Sakura and Duo started hogging down the Sake.

"Gowd...I am so glad they are in a different booth then us." "=sigh= Yea so do I."
"Well, at least she wont be near Hiirou." "What's the supposed to mean?!" "You know what it means!"
"Yea, all you two ever do is fight!" "Yea. Why?" "I don't know why! She's just so fucking annoying." "Well, it's not that she is annoying, it's just that you have a short temper." "I do not have a short temper!" "Yes you do!" "I do not!" Yes. You. Do!" "No. I. Do. Not!" "MAN! Stop it you two!"
"Yea." "Hiirou, you need anger management." "No I don't" Trowa, Quatre, and WuFei nodded their heads. "Do to." They said.

"Um, we have more important things to worry about..." Said Quatre pointing at the empty both that Duo and Saki were supposed to be in."Ahh shit!"
They got out of their boths and walked into the karaoke lounge.
They stopped at the door way and looked at Duo and Saki on the stage.
Thet both had a microphone and Saki had her arm around Duo's neck.
She sang.

"I ain't happy
I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine
In a bag
I'm useless
But not for long
The future
Is coming on....

I ain't happy
I'm fellin glad
I got sunshine
In a bag
I'm usless
But not for long
The future
Is comming on....
It's coming on...it's coming on..it's coming on...it's coming on..."

WuFei put his head in his hands and then shook his head. "I give up!"
"Yea, so do I." Hiirou said.
The took a seat and watched the karaoke duet.
"You know, they aren't bad." Trowa said. The others agreed.
They watched Duo as he did the rap and Sakura as she did the chorus.
As Duo was doing the rap, Saki danced around.

She was wearing black boy style converse with blue fire shoe laces. Pink overalls with a white tank top. She had weaved a purple scarf in the belt loops of her overalls. Which gave her a colourful outfit. And the colours worked.
Her hair was down, but tied with a green ribbon at the end. Which went this way and that as she sang and danced.

Duo was in a pair of blue jeans and a white loose shirt. He had black shoes that were old and well worn. The shoes laces were even messed up.
Duo had his hair in his usual braid. Nothing fancy.

"Thank you! Thank you!" They both bowed as the crowed cheered.
Duo and Sakura walked off the stage and over to the bar.
"Garcon!! More Sake!" Sakura said. "Me too!" Said Duo.

"Ok, well seems like we are going to be here for a while." "Yea." "So maybe we should eat."

"Hey Hiirou, are you ok? You've been so quiet." "I'm just thinking." "Yea? About what?" "Relena. Maybe, she did kill herself. Or maybe...." He let his words trail off. He didn't want to complete the senctence. "Or maybe?" Said Quatre. Hiirou shook his head. "Nothing."

Duo walked on the stage and started to sing.

"Everybody's here with me.
We got no camera to see.
Don't think I'm not all in this world.
The camera wont let me go.
The verdict doesn't love our soul.
The digital wont let me go.
Yeah Yeah Yeah I'll
pay when tomorrow,
tomorrow comes today."

Saki stood near the stage. Waiting for her turn.

"Stero I want it on. It's taking me far to long...."

"Man, how depressing...." Said Trowa. After he was done, he hoped down and smiled coy like at Sakura. "Your turn." Sakura laughed. "Yea. And I'm going ot get a higher score then you!"
Duo shook his head. "I don't think so."
Sakura walked on the stage.
The music started up and she sang.

"Are you aware of what
You make me feel, baby
Right now I feel invisible to you
Like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock
Whyd you turn away
Heres what I have to say

I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's what I decided....

Why should I care
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
You need to listen
I'm startin to trip
I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone..."

"=sigh= Don't tell me they are competing against each other?" "Seems that way."
"Great, we'll be here all night."

Sakura bowed and walked off the stage. And when the score came up, her and Duo had the same score! So Duo started singing. And that's how it was for the next hour. They are trying to beat each other. And finialy, they gave up. Duo kicked the karaoke score machine and walked off the stage.
By the time thay gave up, only a handfull of people were at China Doll.

Sakura sighed. "Ok! I give up!" She took a couple sips of Sake.
"Yea, so do I."
