Model Behavior

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions for the song they should sing. But I was listening to the radio and I found the perfect song. But thanks to all who gave me suggestions. And to thank you, I'll dedicate this chapter to you:
xing@fanfiction.net: That was a great idea. Maybe I'll do that if I ever make another Yaten/Usagi fic. But I don't know. Not in this fanfic at least. Maybe I'll do that song in anther chapter. Thanks for sticking around to see the next chapter!
Kage-Shadow-of-Darkness: I'm sorry. They don't kiss in this chapter. Nor in the next. I'm sorry. I've been so bored I've already gotten to start writing chapter 8. Well, at least you won't have to wait so long for the next chapter, though I have a feeling you're gonna hate me by the time we get to chapter 7. *sweatdrop *
Xaphrin: Thanks for sticken around for this chapter. I've been really stugglin with ideas lately. But Thanks for support. I didn't use your song but I think you'll like this chapter anyways. At least I hope. ^_^
Sunshine Fia: I love that song! But alas, I didn't use it for the fic. I hope you'll forgive me. Thanks for your support.
Celestial Dreamblaze: Well, I really sorry about that. I tried to make it as non-descriptive as possible. I really don't like that sort of thing anyways. I don't know why I wrote that. Oh well. Thanks for the songs. I love those a lot. Sorry for not using them though, I think you'll like this chapter just as well anyways. Thanks for suggesting.
Thanks to all who reviewed:
Angel-Goddess: I am soooooooo sorry. I was under a writer's block and I was on restrictions for months! My mom was really pissed about something. I am so sorry. I'll never do it again. I swear on my honor as an author. Thanks for sticking with me though!
Usagi Serenity Yui Cosmos: Usagi/Helios! Oh wicked. Even I didn't think of that! I think it's a great idea. What were your thoughts? I got tired of hearing of Rini/Helios. Forgive me, but I really don't like any couples without Usagi in it. Well, except Rei/Wufei, but that's about it. ^_^ Call me stuck on Usagi couples. *Shrug * Thanks for trying to find a song though. I appreciate it!
Natsumi: Oh, thank you. Now I feel a lot better. I hate being grounded, and this has to be the first time since I was nine. ^_^;
Princess Alethia: Well, thank you very much. *bows * finally someone who appreciates my genius nature. ^_^ Just kidding. Anyways, thanks a lot, I really would like to keep my hearing. ^_^
Chapter 5: Don't mess with my man
Yaten walked down the street. He didn't bring his limo, for some reason he just felt like being alone for the moment. Seiya was getting touchy when Yaten tried to tell Seiya what he was feeling, and Taiki was confusing him with statistic conversation, plus the fact that Taiki knew nothing about what Yaten was feeling right now, he decided he just needed some time to sort out his thoughts.
He walked into the park, and saw a statue of one of the goddesses facing him. Suddenly he saw Usagi's face on the statue, and then he turned away, frustrated with himself. He walked towards the bridge that over looked the lake, and peered into it. He darted backwards as he saw Usagi's face in the water starring back at him. He rubbed his temples, trying to kick the images of Usagi away, but he couldn't comprehend what was happening to him. He knew how he felt about Kakyuu-hime. He once had the feeling that he was in love with her, but now he wasn't so sure. The feeling of Usagi constantly being around him was so promising and alluring. There was no mistaking the hunger in his eyes. *I can't be thinking this, I can't love Usagi. She's a klutz, brain dead, airhead, ungraceful, perky, beautiful, body of a goddess. * He shocked himself with his own thoughts. "I can't take this."
"Can't take what?"
He stiffened when he heard the voice behind him. He didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
"Are you going to turn around, or are you going to treat me to the pleasant view of your backside?"
He growled and turned. Usagi wore a beautiful white fake fur trench coat that fell down to the tops of her knee high suede boots. She wore a jean skirt under it and there were two gold belts that loosely encircled her waist. The moonlight reflected off her gold belts as her glossed lips smiled at him sensually. It was hard not to stare, but the famous Yaten Kou was famous for keeping a straight face, and even that mask was faltering just looking at her. The light shown defiantly upon her, and it looked like she was wearing a glimmering crown on her golden blonde hair. It was blinding, really.
"Save your smart comments for the magazines. I'm sure they'd love to get the scoop tonight. That little quarrel is probably feeding the rumors that you and I are going out." The moment he said that, he wished he hadn't. But still he wished the rumors were true, but he didn't just think that.
Usagi's smiled faltered, and she smoothed her hands along the white fur sleeves covering her arms, as if she was suddenly chilled. "Well, I'm kinda wanting to talk about that." She took a nervous look on her face as she glanced at him.
Yaten had to fight off the hopeful look that was aching to spread across his face. *She wants to talk about the dating rumors? Oh boy, I'm not ready for this. What if she wants to go out with me? What if she thinks I like her?! * He got a weird look on his face as a voice in the back of his head started to speak. 'You DO like her, dumdum. Fess up. I'm getting tired of saying so.' *Buzz off. * 'Wish I could. Maybe I could get into that pretty Usagi's mind and see what she's thinking right now. Probably the same thing.' *I'm being taken over by the devil's clone. * 'Not necessarily. I've met the man; a really cheeky fellow if I ever knew one.' "What?" Yaten suddenly zapped back into reality as he realized that Usagi asked him a question.
She sighed. "Nevermind. I'll go now." She started away.
"No!" He jumped in front of her.
She looked shocked at him. He blushed a bit at his actions and backed up a few steps away from her. She only smirked.
"What? Don't want your little ray of sunshine to leave?" She teased.
He frowned. "No. I only wanted to." He was lost for words. He didn't know what to say, his brain drew blank. His only instinct was to throw an insult at her. And he did, but instantly regretted it. "I just wanted to insure your humiliation when your moose moaning of a voice starts to sing on Wednesday." He smirked, but it was only a mask. His heart tore as he saw the hurt suddenly cross her face, but was immediately replaced with a look of anger.
"Yaten Kou, you'll never change. I guess I was wrong when I saw a little kindness and tenderness when you beat up Nick the other day. I guess I was stupid to dwell on it. Goodbye." She turned on her heel and stalked away.
Yaten slapped himself. "I hate my life."

"Insufferable fiend. I'll show him. He thinks he knows me so well."
Usagi had a few practices at the mall stage with Yaten, and she sang very ill indeed. He had laughed at her and ridiculed her, she hated him. She couldn't count the number of times she had kicked his haughty ass off the stage. But the times when she had sung alone, her voice was phenomenal, her instructor said so himself. But Yaten didn't know that. She was looking forward to knocking him unconscious with her voice.
Today the concert took place. Even through all the bad luck she had been having with them, she invited Naomi, Ravyn, and Mikayla to come. She willingly invited Kassandra; with whom she had started to become really good friends with. Rei and Makoto were still treating her like the Queen of England, and she was getting depressed and missed it when they would criticize her on klutzing out. She sighed. The limo pulled up to the mall. Dana and Lee opened the door to go out first, and she could already hear the screaming of the crowds. She pulled her yellow tinted sunglasses over her face and scooted to the right side of the limo, and then, with one ankle black leather boot, stepped out to the photographers and fans.
Naomi, Ravyn, Mikayla, and Kassandra were waiting for her. They hogged to the door, not letting her go one step to join Yvonne, Minako, Naru, Hugo, and Rejin. They gave her a look of understanding, and she smiled at them. Kassandra was the only person she was fully comfortable around at the moment. She smiled when she saw Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten waiting for her. Yaten looking a bit out of it. They were lead to the back of the mall. They had made a big stage for the models and the singers. Yaten was pointing out how badly the stage was put together and how it was a disgrace to go up and sing on such a wreck they dared call an arena.
Usagi could only laugh. Yaten was never satisfied with anything. He'd have complained about his own princess if she were still on earth.
"You know Yaten, if you're so perfect, why don't you go over there and build a stage on your own." Seiya strutted up to Usagi, smirking at Yaten, who was working up a volcanic eruption with the glare he gave Seiya.
Usagi giggled, and Yaten only sent another growl at Seiya, then turned and stalked off towards the outfit artist, who still hadn't given them their outfits. Usagi hoped it wouldn't be another pirate ship scene. Kassandra's romance ramblings weren't helping either.
"I can't believe this. And you two look so good together, I could just see a movie behind made about you two."
"I don't appreciate the idea of Yaten and I being together in anything. I would be a lot more comfortable if you would just drop the subject." Usagi answered, very annoyed.
Kassandra sighed. Yvonne and Hugo were walking up. Usagi didn't see Minako, Naru, or Rejin anywhere. She had never gotten to thank Rejin for helping her; or rather she was too busy cuddling with Yaten.
Usagi jumped. *I didn't just think that. * 'Course you didn't, I did.' Usagi growled at herself.
"What? Not happy to see us?" Hugo asked, looking hurt as she sent a growl to no one in particular; he had mistaken it for being sent to him.
Usagi blushed. "Oh, not you Hugo. I just had a thought and it wasn't a pleasant one."
"Really?" Hugo scooted closer. "And what thought would that be?"
"About you and Yaten maybe?" Yvonne joined in the teasing session.
Usagi scowled. "Ha!" She scoffed. "Nothing could make me think of something that dishonorable and humiliating."
"Dishonorable and humiliating?" Hugo echoed. "You really have been hanging around Yaten too much."
"Oh c'mon, Usagi. It's obvious he likes you very much. But you know Yaten, he's too high in his own ego to notice how many things he's letting slip. You are probably the only girl he ever bothers to look at."
"Yeah, he's thinking up insults to make me feel even more small than I already do. He's only a cheap side git and I don't have any other feelings towards him." She crossed her arms.
Yvonne could only smile. Hugo offered an arm to both of them to escort them to the changing room. Usagi took his left arm and Yvonne took his right arm and they all walked to the dressing room.
***
Yaten was chasing Minako away from him with a base ball bat when they got in there, Naru and Rejin had massive sweatdrops, and the outfit artist was looking at his watch annoyed. He looked up.
"Ah! Zey finally decide to show up!" He had a fine French accent. Usagi had to fight off the urge to giggle at the man with the funny accent. "And vot exactly do you find so funny?" He asked, looking her up and down, examining her body.
Usagi smiled. "Nothing, just looking forward to getting my outfit." She bowed respectively to him, letting go of Hugo's arm.
He seemed to be satisfied, and smiled back at her. "Vell, zen let's get started." He grabbed Usagi by the arm and dragged her to the back room, then 'handing' her to the make-up artists, he quickly gave them instructions for her outfit, shoes, hair, make up, and accessories.
An older looking lady took her by the arm again and practically shoved her into a seat facing a wall off mirrors, with glass shelves with make-up and there was rack twelve feet long in the back of the room, full of clothes. They quickly raided her with mascara and lipstick while five others debated on the punker looking clothes behind her.
Usagi had blue eye shadow around her eyes almost up to her eyebrows, and black eye liner, making her eyes look darker. They gave her hair blue tips. Usagi pouted when she found out they were going to cut her beautiful hair, but they insisted it wouldn't take so long to dry when they were done. When they were done, her hair went down past her hips, and then added the dark blue tips, and spiked them. White lipstick was added to her lips to make them look pale. They painted tattoos on her arms, and she liked the way she started to look tougher.
Then they took her to the dressing room and dressed her in a navy blue tank halter top with a big pink heart in the middle, and then gave her faded denim punker jeans that fitted tightly around her hips and thighs then fanned out on her legs and over a pair of black and white punk sneakers. Then she was givin a pair of studded cuffs and a black leather choker, then a silver chain to lock around her neck. She looked like a punk girl.
She was taken outside behind the stage where an overly large audience was already forming, anxious for the performance. Usagi couldn't have been more nervous, but suddenly her nervousness seemed to fade when she saw Yaten walk out of his dressing room. Her breath caught.
His hair had been brightened, and long strands of silver hair fell into his green eyes. There was a heavy silver cross on a sterling chain around his neck. His arms were heavy with bangles, and there were barbwire tattoos on his arms, which were exposed by a black sleeveless T, also exposing his muscles. Cuffs surrounded his wrists, his hands shoved in his pockets. His jeans were faded denim with slits in the knees with jumpy black and white sneakers like hers. The hair that hung out of his ponytail was spiked, giving the impression that spears were framing his face. A dangerous and sexy aroma followed him as he walked towards her, a satisfied smirk on his face when he caught her starring at him. He still was a great deal taller than her, so he looked down on her as if she were his puppet and he had barely begun to pull the strings.
She forced a scowl to her face and turned away from him, and walked towards Kassandra, Naomi, Ravyn, and Mikayla, who she had said were fine to come back stage.
"Oh, you look so wicked. Can I borrow that outfit some time?" Naomi commented, pulled at strands of Usagi's hair without hurting her.
Kassandra was looking longingly between Usagi and Yaten. "Oh, how you two were made for each other." She sighed.
Usagi smirked. "That's only because our outfits always make us look that way. It's only for publicity. I still hate him."
"How can anyone hate someone so handsome and incredibly charming." Kassandra breathed her words. "And the tattoos are way cool. I'm going to talk my mom into letting me get a real one."
"Oh, needles. I couldn't bear getting a tattoo. It's way to permanent." Ravyn whined, but still looking adoringly at Usagi's painted tattoos.
"I would, I could bear the pain. But I'd only do it if I had one of my friends to do it with me. Like Naru maybe." Usagi said, giggling.
"Or me. I know! We can get twin tattoos! It'll be fun!" Kassandra squealed.
Usagi laughed. "Maybe. I'd have to get my mom to sign the permission slip though. And that's a definite no. Mother/Daughter pep talk #41: Never get a tattoo. My mom's got one on her tailbone, and she's regretted it ever since."
"Will you take your places please? I haf only got so much time on my hands here!" The director came running in. "Ze music is about to start! Vill you hurry up!" He pushed Usagi and Yaten to the room under the stage where the platforms were to rise and they would appear on the stage after the smoke cleared. "You know the cue. Go ven it's time! Good luck!" He scurried off.
Usagi and Yaten looked at each other, then looked away.
The music started, and the audience started to clap. The platforms under Usagi and Yaten started to move, and they saw the purple and red smoke on the stage. They saw as they rose to the audience above them, and suddenly Usagi was ready. She held her microphone to her side. There were other guys and girls already on stage who were doing the back up vocals. They gave Usagi and Yaten a thumbs up, and Usagi smiled as Yaten started the spoken part at the beginning of the song.
***
Uh, I like it baby (yeah)
Uh, one time for the club (ye-eah)
Two times for my thugs, uh-huh
Three times for my ladies, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon (ooh, oh)
Uh, Usagi y'all..YK y'all.(oooh)
Uh-uh, YK y'all!
Usagi took her breath in and brought the microphone to her lips and let the first line of the song slip from her lips, smooth as her voice was.
It was hard to find a brotha that was down for me
So I'm telling everybody to let him be
'Cause he's mine and I can't take no pigeons tryna take my baby
Usagi slinked slow and easy movements against Yaten, who was a bit surprised. She winked at him, teasing him as the catcalls erupted from the crowds. He lifted an eyebrow; his hair sparkled with the silver in his hair. Then a sensual smile crossed his features, as he caught on to her game. Usagi let the next lines of her song erupt.
So I thought I had to let you know
Find someone that you can call your own
Cause now you're walking in the danger zone
And if I touch you I'll be wrong
The girls as her background vocals chimed in as she started on the chorus.
"If you mess wit my man, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Got my girls, got my man, do find your own and leave mine alone
Don't mess wit my man, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Here's a little advice for you, find your own man"
Yaten moved his hands to Usagi's hips, sliding them up her sides, down to her flat stomach, the sweat erupting from his face and the hotness of the lights. He started his part of the song as he crossed the stage to glare at the guys drooling at Usagi.
"It was hard to find a girl that's really down for me
Seems like a lot of bad boys tryin me
Cause they tryna take my baby, oh what the hell no!
So now you really better watch yourself
Messin wit my girl is bad for your health
So you know you will be dealt with
Better find your own girl"
His male background vocals closed around him as he glared at the bad boys starring at Usagi and her 'homegirls' as they were acting out. He let out the chorus
"If you mess with my girl, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Got my homeboys and my girl, so find your own and leave alone
Don't mess with my girl, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Here's a little advice for you, find your own girl"
Usagi's lips slipped into a seductive sneer as she dipped low, the muscles in her hips and thighs pulled tight, and rose her arms above her head, standing up as Yaten came from behind her and he touched her finger tips with his. She lowered her hand and outstretched a finger to point to the wistful girls in the audience.
"Girl I'm warning you, if you want my man
You should just keep your hands to yourself, now-now"
Yaten brought her arm back as she sang to wrap his arms around her waist from behind, and then gave a sly look to the boys.
"And playa I'm warning you, if you want my girl
I suggest that you look but don't touch, now-now"
Usagi:
It was hard to find a brotha that was down for me, don't mess with my man
Yaten:
It's hard to find a girl that's really down for me, don't mess with my girl
Usagi:
Hard to find a brotha that was down for me, don't mess with my man
Yaten:
So hard to find a girl that's down for me, don't mess with my girl
Usagi broke from Yaten and held the microphone tightly to keep it from slipping from her sweaty hands. Glistening sweat slid from her stomach and down her arms, and her hair changed colors with the different disco lights going on and off. She swayed and lowered herself to reach and touch the fingertips of the audience as they reached for her.
"If you mess with my man, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Got my girls, and my man, so find your own and leave mine alone
Don't mess with my man, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Here's a little advice for you, find your own girl"
Yaten bent his knees low to the ground, his knees exposed through his slits. He made eye contact with all the guys, glaring at each and every one of them.
"If you mess with my girl, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Got my home boys and my girl, so find your own and leave mine alone
Don't' mess with my girl, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Here's a little advice for you find your own girl."
The music stopped, and Usagi's and Yaten's and all the dancers heads dropped, letting the audience on core them. Usagi smiled, and Yaten looked at her as she did look at him. Sweat dripped from their faces onto the stage.
*God he looks beautiful. *
*God she looks beautiful. *
She smiled and he smiled back. They stood up, and Yaten grabbed her hand, and then they bowed, and walked down to the back stage, where they were quickly whisked away by the artists who then started to wipe the sweat and re-do their make-up for the autograph session after the concert. The audience was so loud they heard it from the dressing rooms as they re-did Usagi's make-up and got a replica of the outfit she was wearing that was dry and scented. By the time they were done, Usagi's tips were bright blue again, and she looked completely fresh like before the concert. Yaten looked just as handsome as well. She smiled as he walked up to her.
"Well, you were better than I thought you would be, but that's still not saying much." He teased her, though she could see the longing in his eyes as he gazed at her flat stomach and her lips.
She wrung her hips from side to side playfully as she watched him and answered. "Well, the audience sure thought I was good, and personally that is all I need to feel better. Your comments mean nothing to me." 'Liar, Liar.' She kicked the voice out of her head and kept the smile steady on her face as she turned and walked towards Kassandra and Minako, who were giggling in the corner.
Yaten smirked as she put an extra sway in her hips to entice him. "The game is on, Usagi." He whispered to himself, and turned away, walking towards Rejin, Hugo, Seiya, and Taiki.

Sorry, but I'm tired and I really don't feel like writing right now. But don't worry, the next chapter will be just as good, if not better. Can I leave you with that promise? Good, bubye!
PS: I don't own the song. It belongs to Jagged Edge and Nivea. ^_^

Usagi could only laugh. Yaten was never satisfied with anything. He'd have complained about his own princess if she were still on earth.
"You know Yaten, if you're so perfect, why don't you go over there and build a stage on your own." Seiya strutted up to Usagi, smirking at Yaten, who was working up a volcanic eruption with the glare he gave Seiya.
Usagi giggled, and Yaten only sent another growl at Seiya, then turned and stalked off towards the outfit artist, who still hadn't given them their outfits. Usagi hoped it wouldn't be another pirate ship scene. Kassandra's romance ramblings weren't helping either.
"I can't believe this. And you two look so good together, I could just see a movie behind made about you two."
"I don't appreciate the idea of Yaten and I being together in anything. I would be a lot more comfortable if you would just drop the subject." Usagi answered, very annoyed.
Kassandra sighed. Yvonne and Hugo were walking up. Usagi didn't see Minako, Naru, or Rejin anywhere. She had never gotten to thank Rejin for helping her; or rather she was too busy cuddling with Yaten.
Usagi jumped. *I didn't just think that. * 'Course you didn't, I did.' Usagi growled at herself.
"What? Not happy to see us?" Hugo asked, looking hurt as she sent a growl to no one in particular; he had mistaken it for being sent to him.
Usagi blushed. "Oh, not you Hugo. I just had a thought and it wasn't a pleasant one."
"Really?" Hugo scooted closer. "And what thought would that be?"
"About you and Yaten maybe?" Yvonne joined in the teasing session.
Usagi scowled. "Ha!" She scoffed. "Nothing could make me think of something that dishonorable and humiliating."
"Dishonorable and humiliating?" Hugo echoed. "You really have been hanging around Yaten too much."
"Oh c'mon, Usagi. It's obvious he likes you very much. But you know Yaten, he's too high in his own ego to notice how many things he's letting slip. You are probably the only girl he ever bothers to look at."
"Yeah, he's thinking up insults to make me feel even more small than I already do. He's only a cheap side git and I don't have any other feelings towards him." She crossed her arms.
Yvonne could only smile. Hugo offered an arm to both of them to escort them to the changing room. Usagi took his left arm and Yvonne took his right arm and they all walked to the dressing room.

Yaten was chasing Minako away from him with a base ball bat when they got in there, Naru and Rejin had massive sweatdrops, and the outfit artist was looking at his watch annoyed. He looked up.
"Ah! Zey finally decide to show up!" He had a fine French accent. Usagi had to fight off the urge to giggle at the man with the funny accent. "And vot exactly do you find so funny?" He asked, looking her up and down, examining her body.
Usagi smiled. "Nothing, just looking forward to getting my outfit." She bowed respectively to him, letting go of Hugo's arm.
He seemed to be satisfied, and smiled back at her. "Vell, zen let's get started." He grabbed Usagi by the arm and dragged her to the back room, then 'handing' her to the make-up artists, he quickly gave them instructions for her outfit, shoes, hair, make up, and accessories.
An older looking lady took her by the arm again and practically shoved her into a seat facing a wall off mirrors, with glass shelves with make-up and there was rack twelve feet long in the back of the room, full of clothes. They quickly raided her with mascara and lipstick while five others debated on the punker looking clothes behind her.
Usagi had blue eye shadow around her eyes almost up to her eyebrows, and black eye liner, making her eyes look darker. They gave her hair blue tips. Usagi pouted when she found out they were going to cut her beautiful hair, but they insisted it wouldn't take so long to dry when they were done. When they were done, her hair went down past her hips, and then added the dark blue tips, and spiked them. White lipstick was added to her lips to make them look pale. They painted tattoos on her arms, and she liked the way she started to look tougher.
Then they took her to the dressing room and dressed her in a navy blue tank halter top with a big pink heart in the middle, and then gave her faded denim punker jeans that fitted tightly around her hips and thighs then fanned out on her legs and over a pair of black and white punk sneakers. Then she was givin a pair of studded cuffs and a black leather choker, then a silver chain to lock around her neck. She looked like a punk girl.
She was taken outside behind the stage where an overly large audience was already forming, anxious for the performance. Usagi couldn't have been more nervous, but suddenly her nervousness seemed to fade when she saw Yaten walk out of his dressing room. Her breath caught.
His hair had been brightened, and long strands of silver hair fell into his green eyes. There was a heavy silver cross on a sterling chain around his neck. His arms were heavy with bangles, and there were barbwire tattoos on his arms, which were exposed by a black sleeveless T, also exposing his muscles. Cuffs surrounded his wrists, his hands shoved in his pockets. His jeans were faded denim with slits in the knees with jumpy black and white sneakers like hers. The hair that hung out of his ponytail was spiked, giving the impression that spears were framing his face. A dangerous and sexy aroma followed him as he walked towards her, a satisfied smirk on his face when he caught her starring at him. He still was a great deal taller than her, so he looked down on her as if she were his puppet and he had barely begun to pull the strings.
She forced a scowl to her face and turned away from him, and walked towards Kassandra, Naomi, Ravyn, and Mikayla, who she had said were fine to come back stage.
"Oh, you look so wicked. Can I borrow that outfit some time?" Naomi commented, pulled at strands of Usagi's hair without hurting her.
Kassandra was looking longingly between Usagi and Yaten. "Oh, how you two were made for each other." She sighed.
Usagi smirked. "That's only because our outfits always make us look that way. It's only for publicity. I still hate him."
"How can anyone hate someone so handsome and incredibly charming." Kassandra breathed her words. "And the tattoos are way cool. I'm going to talk my mom into letting me get a real one."
"Oh, needles. I couldn't bear getting a tattoo. It's way to permanent." Ravyn whined, but still looking adoringly at Usagi's painted tattoos.
"I would, I could bear the pain. But I'd only do it if I had one of my friends to do it with me. Like Naru maybe." Usagi said, giggling.
"Or me. I know! We can get twin tattoos! It'll be fun!" Kassandra squealed.
Usagi laughed. "Maybe. I'd have to get my mom to sign the permission slip though. And that's a definite no. Mother/Daughter pep talk #41: Never get a tattoo. My mom's got one on her tailbone, and she's regretted it ever since."
"Will you take your places please? I haf only got so much time on my hands here!" The director came running in. "Ze music is about to start! Vill you hurry up!" He pushed Usagi and Yaten to the room under the stage where the platforms were to rise and they would appear on the stage after the smoke cleared. "You know the cue. Go ven it's time! Good luck!" He scurried off.
Usagi and Yaten looked at each other, then looked away.
The music started, and the audience started to clap. The platforms under Usagi and Yaten started to move, and they saw the purple and red smoke on the stage. They saw as they rose to the audience above them, and suddenly Usagi was ready. She held her microphone to her side. There were other guys and girls already on stage who were doing the back up vocals. They gave Usagi and Yaten a thumbs up, and Usagi smiled as Yaten started the spoken part at the beginning of the song.
***
Uh, I like it baby (yeah)
Uh, one time for the club (ye-eah)
Two times for my thugs, uh-huh
Three times for my ladies, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon (ooh, oh)
Uh, Usagi y'all..YK y'all.(oooh)
Uh-uh, YK y'all!
Usagi took her breath in and brought the microphone to her lips and let the first line of the song slip from her lips, smooth as her voice was.
It was hard to find a brotha that was down for me
So I'm telling everybody to let him be
'Cause he's mine and I can't take no pigeons tryna take my baby
Usagi slinked slow and easy movements against Yaten, who was a bit surprised. She winked at him, teasing him as the catcalls erupted from the crowds. He lifted an eyebrow; his hair sparkled with the silver in his hair. Then a sensual smile crossed his features, as he caught on to her game. Usagi let the next lines of her song erupt.
So I thought I had to let you know
Find someone that you can call your own
Cause now you're walking in the danger zone
And if I touch you I'll be wrong
The girls as her background vocals chimed in as she started on the chorus.
"If you mess wit my man, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Got my girls, got my man, do find your own and leave mine alone
Don't mess wit my man, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Here's a little advice for you, find your own man"
Yaten moved his hands to Usagi's hips, sliding them up her sides, down to her flat stomach, the sweat erupting from his face and the hotness of the lights. He started his part of the song as he crossed the stage to glare at the guys drooling at Usagi.
"It was hard to find a girl that's really down for me
Seems like a lot of bad boys tryin me
Cause they tryna take my baby, oh what the hell no!
So now you really better watch yourself
Messin wit my girl is bad for your health
So you know you will be dealt with
Better find your own girl"
His male background vocals closed around him as he glared at the bad boys starring at Usagi and her 'homegirls' as they were acting out. He let out the chorus
"If you mess with my girl, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Got my homeboys and my girl, so find your own and leave alone
Don't mess with my girl, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Here's a little advice for you, find your own girl"
Usagi's lips slipped into a seductive sneer as she dipped low, the muscles in her hips and thighs pulled tight, and rose her arms above her head, standing up as Yaten came from behind her and he touched her finger tips with his. She lowered her hand and outstretched a finger to point to the wistful girls in the audience.
"Girl I'm warning you, if you want my man
You should just keep your hands to yourself, now-now"
Yaten brought her arm back as she sang to wrap his arms around her waist from behind, and then gave a sly look to the boys.
"And playa I'm warning you, if you want my girl
I suggest that you look but don't touch, now-now"
Usagi:
It was hard to find a brotha that was down for me, don't mess with my man
Yaten:
It's hard to find a girl that's really down for me, don't mess with my girl
Usagi:
Hard to find a brotha that was down for me, don't mess with my man
Yaten:
So hard to find a girl that's down for me, don't mess with my girl
Usagi broke from Yaten and held the microphone tightly to keep it from slipping from her sweaty hands. Glistening sweat slid from her stomach and down her arms, and her hair changed colors with the different disco lights going on and off. She swayed and lowered herself to reach and touch the fingertips of the audience as they reached for her.
"If you mess with my man, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Got my girls, and my man, so find your own and leave mine alone
Don't mess with my man, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Here's a little advice for you, find your own girl"
Yaten bent his knees low to the ground, his knees exposed through his slits. He made eye contact with all the guys, glaring at each and every one of them.
"If you mess with my girl, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Got my home boys and my girl, so find your own and leave mine alone
Don't' mess with my girl, I'ma be the one to break it to ya
Here's a little advice for you find your own girl."
The music stopped, and Usagi's and Yaten's and all the dancers heads dropped, letting the audience on core them. Usagi smiled, and Yaten looked at her as she did look at him. Sweat dripped from their faces onto the stage.
*God he looks beautiful. *
*God she looks beautiful. *
She smiled and he smiled back. They stood up, and Yaten grabbed her hand, and then they bowed, and walked down to the back stage, where they were quickly whisked away by the artists who then started to wipe the sweat and re-do their make-up for the autograph session after the concert. The audience was so loud they heard it from the dressing rooms as they re-did Usagi's make-up and got a replica of the outfit she was wearing that was dry and scented. By the time they were done, Usagi's tips were bright blue again, and she looked completely fresh like before the concert. Yaten looked just as handsome as well. She smiled as he walked up to her.
"Well, you were better than I thought you would be, but that's still not saying much." He teased her, though she could see the longing in his eyes as he gazed at her flat stomach and her lips.
She wrung her hips from side to side playfully as she watched him and answered. "Well, the audience sure thought I was good, and personally that is all I need to feel better. Your comments mean nothing to me." 'Liar, Liar.' She kicked the voice out of her head and kept the smile steady on her face as she turned and walked towards Kassandra and Minako, who were giggling in the corner.
Yaten smirked as she put an extra sway in her hips to entice him. "The game is on, Usagi." He whispered to himself, and turned away, walking towards Rejin, Hugo, Seiya, and Taiki.

Sorry, but I'm tired and I really don't feel like writing right now. But don't worry, the next chapter will be just as good, if not better. Can I leave you with that promise? Good, bubye!
PS: I don't own the song. It belongs to Jagged Edge and Nivea. ^_^
