Model Behavior

*yawns and steps into the office, looks at the computer. * OMG!!! *Spider webs all over the computer and keyboard. * Ooopsy! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry! I completely forgot! Please don't kill me, I had finals and I had to study for the longest time, plus a lot of projects put me off the computer for the longest time. I tried to write but then I got writer's block. But, please keep reviewing. If you don't want to read it anymore, or if you just don't like me anymore, you don't have to read it. *sniff * I'll understand. But, here's the next chapter if you still want to read it. Again, I'm reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyy yyyyyyyyy sorry!!!
Chapter 9: An unexpected party
*Ring *
Usagi yawned and took her hand over to the receiver but ended up knocking it off her nightstand. She moaned as it rung again, and looked over towards the nightstand, where her pink fluffy notebook sat, within it was the song she wrote to cover her hurt and hatred of Yaten.
*Ring *
Usagi remembered when she listened to Ameni's song, no one could have written a song like that if he were really that heartless. Maybe he really did like Rei, and he didn't know how to tell Usagi. Usagi had had that encounter before. And Rei had a tendency to fall for all the guys that Usagi was with. *Poor Rei. * Usagi thought. She decided to talk to Ameni later, and make sure that her friend wasn't about to get hurt.
*RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *
"Alright! Alright! I'm coming!" Usagi snatched up the phone. "WHAT D'YOU WANT!!!!!!!"
"Goodness, Usagi, you really need to watch that temper of yours or you're likely to have it on the front page of TIME magazine by tomorrow."
Usagi sighed. "Sorry Anya, what's up?"
"Well, we've sort of ran into a bit of a spot. There is supposed to be a party tonight that all the models in Tokyo are required to attend. Apparently there is going to be some sort of foam party that's supposed to judge the models on their appearance in swimsuits that I didn't get wind of until last night around 11:30."
"Good thing you waited until today to call, now I've got to go shopping for a bathing suit in the middle of the day."
"AND then you've got to get over to the studio. The make up artists are arguing about how you are supposed to look. I'm sorry, but I had to call all the models, and that can take a while. I could swear I heard some pretty disgusting stuff on the other line when I tried to call Nick. That sick bastard, it's a wonder why I continue to let him go on like this."
"Yep, it's a mystery." Usagi smiled.
"Well, the party is tonight around 10:00."
"10:00!! That's past my bedtime! Remember what happened last time we stayed out that late. Nick's had enough of a beating for one lifetime and I really am not looking forward to seeing Yaten and Ameni in the same room. I haven't told Ameni that I wanted to break up yet and Yaten is a little on the edge. I told him what happened last night. Ameni was two-timing me."
"'Tis the life of a model. All the publicity and the crowds and the power senses get to people, ya know? And do you have a bedtime?"
Usagi sighed. "No, I was trying to emphasize my point."
"Right. Well, hope you're gonna be there. Don't worry about your bathing suit. The artists are really picky about what you where, so I wouldn't put anything new by them, okay? They're very superstitious. I know for a fact that one of the artists makes her own lotion out of rat poison because she thinks rodents are a death omen."
Usagi winced. "That was a detail I could have lived without knowing."
"Yeah well, you can live with it. Anyways, you gonna be there?"
"Aren't I always?" Usagi said, more statement than a question, sugar sweet.
"Seeya!"
"Bubye!"
***
"Can you believe him? We go out for two days, and then I find out he's two- timing me with Rei! My best friend! Isn't this just my luck?" Usagi complained.
"I knew that guy was bad luck the day I looked at him." Hugo said, trying to sound professional, but failing miserably.
"Don't be superstitious." Yvonne said, slapping his arm. "But he seemed to so nice though."
"He didn't seem so 'nice' to me." Yaten mumbled, but loud enough for the rest of them to hear.
"Yeah?" Naru asked. "The only reason you didn't like him was because he was with Usagi. And you said you had everything worked out."
Yaten and Naru started a glaring match. All the models, excluding Ameni, were in the lounge room of the studio, sipping on Starbucks ice floats, and talking about Usagi's little man problem.
"Personally, I don't know what the big deal is. I mean, you've got Yaten right? What does it matter anymore?" Nick said, nonchalantly, sipping his float and pouting every so slightly.
"I matters because Ameni cheated on me, then what's to say he won't do the same thing to Rei? And I haven't even broken up with him yet. And he seemed so sincere." Usagi said, sighing again.
"Alright, I get it. Stop talking about how cute and cuddly he is and get to the point. He's bad news and you don't know what to do about it." Yaten said, scowling at his soon-to-be girlfriend.
"You know, he's probably going to want to dance with you tonight, Usagi." Rejin said from beside Ken and Minako. "What are you going to do about that?"
Usagi stayed silent. Yaten scowled again. "He comes anywhere near her I'll pop him one all the way to Kimoku, and then some." He said, putting a protective arm around Usagi.
"I hadn't thought of that. I'm going to have to dance with him sometime. Promise you won't do anything, Yaten? I'm going to try to break up with him as gently as possible. He's a really delicate kind of guy. Mentally, of course." She explained.
"Oh yeah. I guy that goes around breaking one heart after another, two- timing you is really the sensitive kind, isn't he? I understand where you're coming from." Nick said, sarcasm dripping from every word expelled from his mouth. "That's like saying you feel sorry for a guy that raped you." He said.
"You should talk." Ken snapped at him. That shut Nick up for a while.
"You don't understand. You should have heard him when I first met him. He sang a song that was so filled with emotion. You can't sing a song that heart-filled and be evil from the inside out. I'm sure there is some really good explanation. He seemed so nice and fragile whenever he spoke to me. I'm convinced that he's not really that bad." Usagi said.
"Only you, Usagi." Ken said, sipping his coffee. "We'll make sure nothing happens that can distract you. If he tries to hurt you, we'll have your back. You can be sure of that."
"I'm in!" Hugo said. Everyone agreed to let Usagi have her time with Ameni and get things squared away. If his intention WERE to hurt her or Rei or both, he'd wish he'd stayed in California where at least he had all his limbs.
***
Around 9:00, Dana and Lee came to pick up Usagi from her house. She wore blue jeans with a thick black belt, a black tank top and a light white zip up jacket, and a black tobaggon, with wisps of her blond hair peaking out from under it.
"Going under cover?" Lee asked, making a joke.
"Yeah right. I feel wrong going to this party. Ameni's going to be there and I'm feeling really nervous."
"He should be the one nervous. Facing you after what he did. I'm surprised he hasn't called in sick with the guilt."
"Well, I have to tell him tonight, or else Yaten will. He's the jealous type, I can tell. But the thing is, I still like Ameni, I know I love Yaten more but I love Ameni still. Why does this love thing get so complicated? Maybe I should just give up all together and go move to America and become some tragic romance writer writing about all my misfortunes."
Dana raised an eyebrow. "You'd prefer being a writer to a model?" He asked.
"More like a writer, AND a model. How's that?" Lee teased.
"Nah, I probably wouldn't have even passed English if I hadn't done a lap dance for the professor after finals." She confessed.
Dana and Lee exchanged glances, and Usagi started to laugh.
"Kidding of course! I wouldn't risk my goodie girl rep anyways. I'm known for my innocent personality. Though I may be the most gullible girl on the block. Once, Rei said that 'gullible' was written on the ceiling and I looked up. I felt really stupid about that to." Usagi sighed.
Dana snorted and Lee just had a small smile on his face as the driver pulled into the studio. Usagi was taken inside, and then attacked with the artists.
"Ver haf you been?" The director with the French accent asked, tapping his foot impatiently as Usagi was zoomed into a makeover seat and was applied makeup in a matter of seconds.
"Um.at my house?"
"Vell, we can't vait for you all night. And why aren't you vering designer clothes? You look like a straight out hoodlum." He said, fingering Usagi's tobaggon.
"Geez, who cares about what I wear when I'm on my own. You're just going to give me my outfit anyways. Cut me some slack."
"Oh, forgive me. I haf been so 'eartless!" He said, words dripping with sarcasm, and then he waltzed off to ruin someone else's day.
Usagi was then taken into the dressing room where all the other models were already there sitting in chairs in front of the light framed mirrors. To her misfortune, she was parked in the seat between Ameni and Yaten.
"Hey gorgeous." Ameni said, then looked at her clothes. "Nice ensemble." He said, running a hand down her jacket sleeve, she could feel the heat radiated from his hand through the thick fabric.
Yaten cleared his throat. Usagi turned to look at him and gave him a pleading look, begging him not to say anything. At least not right then. He sighed and then nodded stiffly, and then turned to finger his silver hair.
Usagi turned to Ameni and smiled briefly before turning to her reflection in the mirror. Then she sighed miserably. 'Great, this is going to be harder than I thought.'
***
Usagi looked at her outfit in the mirror. This was defiantly one of those things that nearly screamed out 'My-dad-would-kill-me-if-he-saw-me-in-this- outfit' for the whole world to hear. She was wearing a lacy see through camisole over her bra, and yellow drawstring slacks with a pair of white sandals and her toes decorated with toe rings. She was going to change into her bathing suit at the party.
Minako waltzed up to her. "This is so our night! I can't believe their letting us where this stuff in public! Entice the guys or something?" Minako wore a neon green zip up top with the silver ring dangling seductively from the top of her pink push up bra. Then a pair of black short shorts with chola written on the butt of them. She wore the shorts over light blue jean caprices.
"Um.. Minako, maybe you should zip that thing up some more. You're going to give someone ideas."
"You think that's an accident? Besides, I like this look. It makes me feel free." She spun around, her luxurious blonde hair spinning in a golden halo around her waist.
Usagi sighed.
"Hey."
Usagi winced. 'Uh-oh.' She turned to see Ameni standing there. He was dressed all in black and his hair was bleached blonde with his old black roots that was slicked back to the back of his neck. Like it or not, even Usagi had to agree that he looked stunningly sexy.
"Usa, you're looking bad tonight." He chuckled. He put his hand on her waist and pulled her to him. She knew what was happening next. She quickly turned her head so he only kissed her cheek, and then she pulled away. She noticed his confused look. She gave him a slow lazy smile to reassure him. He smiled back and then turned as the other models found their way in.
Yaten took one look at where Ameni's hand was and fumed, flames erupting in his eyes. Usagi pleaded with him, and then he cooled down, looking helpless. Yaten in a light blue dress shirt that was open to at least the sixth button. His orange cargo pants were covered in big pockets and he wore heavy Garmond hikers. Usagi figured he was going for the punk/skater boy routine. He looked hot. Ameni had the style, but Yaten had the sizzle.
Naru came out, blushing a lot from her outfit. Her red hair was moussed so it stood on end; orange glitter was around her eyes and temples and even went into the roots of her hair. She wore a yellow skirt over a slinky red dress that was really short and exposed a lot of thigh.
She hurried to Usagi. "I'll give Umino a heart-attack in this outfit. I tried to get them to pick out a different outfit, but they wouldn't hear of it."
"Well, at least you got the looks, girl." Minako licked her thumb and stuck it to her hip and made a sizzling sound. Minako blushed.
Yaten walked over to Usagi when Ameni was over talking with Rejin. "Is Ameni wearing eyeliner?" He teased. Usagi punched him playfully in the shoulder. "It's all about the look, I know, but eyeliner?" He started to laugh.
"Oh, shush, it's supposed to make your eyes look darker, I think it suits him." Yaten stopped laughing and took up a hurt look on his face. "But you're easily the center of attention when it comes to looks." She added, and licked his lips for the effect. Yaten smiled goofily, and then sauntered off to talk with Yvonne.
***
When they arrived at the party, there were tons of people waiting to guide them inside. But at this particular, they were out of luck if they wanted autographs. There was a lot of woo-hoos and whistling when the reporters started to take pictures of the model's showy and exposing outfits. Usagi swore she would be grounded till the end of her lifetime if her mother or father ever saw her picture or on TV with the outfit she wore.
Anya and Hugo led the way inside to the club. The rest followed. Inside they found a live band playing R&B and heavy rap music. Usagi could already feel her hips swaying to the beat. This was defiantly going to be a night to remember. The crowds were covered in pink and blue foam, decorated with the funky lights that tinted the foam. The girls were slinking around the guys, sedusive and tight in nothing but their bathing suits.
Usagi and Yvonne looked at each other, and then yelled went the band stopped playing their music to stare at them.
"Non aliquis incipit convivium sine nobis!" Usagi yelled.
"Nos sumus convivium!" Yvonne added.
"What?" Minako asked.
"It's Latin. I learned it last year. It means 'No one starts the party without us.'" Usagi explained.
"'We are the party!'" Yvonne squealed. Usagi and the others hurried into the bathrooms with their duffle bags and quickly changed into their bathing suits.
Usagi took out her bathing suit, disco amber colored with pull string bikini shorts and a very complicated string top. The strings circled around her waist and up to her torso where there was a thick strip of padded fabric that went in front of her breasts and that was about all that covered her. The strings tied at her tailbone. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail on top of her head with gold rings to cover her tress holder. Red glitter was glossed down her legs, arms, chest and face.
Usagi went red as a strawberry at her reflection. 'I can't believe Anya talked me into this.'
Usagi walked out of the bathroom into the main room where everyone was covered from head to toe in colored foam and water. She was immediately drenched, soaked with the foam sliding down her wet body. A tall boy came up to her, his dark hair was jelled over one eye and the rest was pulled into a ponytail at the base of his neck.
"I'm Kaleo. Want to dance?" He asked coyly, his deep voice intoxicating her. She smiled and nodded and he took her hand and gently pulled her through the crowd as a fast rap song began to play. Usagi had been to a club before, and she defiantly knew how to party.
She slinked her body close to Kaleo's. He put his hands on her waist. She stretched her hands to the ceiling, and sank lower, the muscles in her thighs pulling tight. He sunk with her, bending his knees and moving with her, his hands swaying with her hips.
Yaten was watching from a corner of the room. His tanned chest was bare, and silver necklaces circled around his neck, and the foam floated down his body, and he could see the majority of the girls in the room were following them down his chest. His pants were drenched, and clinging to his legs, and he wore no shoes. He watched in jealousy as Usagi danced with various boys.
Finally he had enough. He stomped his way over to Usagi, snatched her from her current partner and took her in his arms. "Are you doing this on purpose?" He whispered into her ear.
She looked at him innocently. "Doing what on purpose?" She batted her eyelashes. He laughed, and flung her away from him, still keeping contact with his hands, and then taking her back. Her hands lifted to his shoulders, and his slid down her sides. She whirled around him and then moved against him, tight as a cat. Yaten was sweating with the heat and the water and the foam that was decorating Usagi's and his hair.
"Excuse eh moi." Ameni came up from behind them and tapped Yatens shoulder. He then stole Usagi's hand and pulled her with him to another part of the room, closer to the stage as Love Potion No. 9 started to play. They danced quick salsa steps, but Usagi didn't press against him like she did with Yaten. He pulled her to him, and gave her a quick peck on the lips before she could turn. Usagi pulled away.
"Ameni, I have to tell you something." She said to him.
"What?" He yelled over the music. He couldn't' hear her.
"I want to break up with you!" She tried to say.
"I can't hear you!" He yelled back, the crowd pushing the two closer to the stage.
"I WANT TO BREAK UP WITH YOU!!!!" Usagi yelled one last time. And this time he heard her, but unfortunately, the rest of the club heard her as well. The band had stopped the moment Usagi started to yell. Now everyone was looking at Usagi and Ameni. They were all quiet, and Ameni looked embarrassed, as did Usagi. He took a raspy breath, then looked at her with a hurt in his eyes, and then turned to and walked briskly away, towards the exit.
"Ameni!" She tried to push through the crowd to talk to him, but the music was playing again, and everyone once again started to push towards the stage. 'Oh no. I hurt him.' She thought, her mind going haywire. She had never wanted to hurt him. He was still sweet at heart, and she had probably just broken it. She looked up and saw his retreating back at the exit, looking at her with sad eyes. She starred at him with the same sadness. He looked down, and then walked out the door, a series of starry-eyed girls trying to follow him.
Usagi felt terrible. She took her hair out of the golden rings and the scrunchy. She shoved her way through the crowd, not caring if she knocked a few people over and headed towards the bar. She ordered some heavy weight pink vodka and drowned the glass in one gulp.
"Right on, sista." The guy sitting on the stool next to her said, holding his glass up to give her a toast.
"Eat me." Usagi hissed at him, and he just shrugged and turned towards the crowd. Usagi ordered another drink, and downed it again. After a few more drinks, Yaten finally found Usagi sitting drunk with her head in her arms and hair greasy and uncombed. He quickly came over and pulled her head up to look at him. The glitter on her face was pasty, her face was pale, and her eyes were hazy.
"You told him?" He asked.
"Told him.and he.. left with a grrrrrrrr." She hiccupped.
Yaten looked at her with a concerned face. "Maybe I'd better take you home."
"Ameni.haaaaa." She couldn't finish her sentence before she passed out on the stool; Yaten put an arm behind her back and another under her knees. She hung limply in his arms. Thinking he couldn't take her home like this, he'd had better take her to his place. Her parents would probably think he'd gotten her drunk at the party, and he wasn't about to let them see her in the bathing suit she was wearing.
"Hugo! Rejin! Ken! Nick! A little help over here!" Yaten yelled to them over the music. The boys came over to assist him getting Usagi out of the party. He pulled her through the threshold and the limos were lined up outside. There Dana and Lee took her and Yaten went with her. They headed off towards the Three Light's studio.

Yeah, Yeah, I know. Short, but I'm tired right now. Tell me what you thought, and I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible, okay?

"Hey."
Usagi winced. 'Uh-oh.' She turned to see Ameni standing there. He was dressed all in black and his hair was bleached blonde with his old black roots that was slicked back to the back of his neck. Like it or not, even Usagi had to agree that he looked stunningly sexy.
"Usa, you're looking bad tonight." He chuckled. He put his hand on her waist and pulled her to him. She knew what was happening next. She quickly turned her head so he only kissed her cheek, and then she pulled away. She noticed his confused look. She gave him a slow lazy smile to reassure him. He smiled back and then turned as the other models found their way in.
Yaten took one look at where Ameni's hand was and fumed, flames erupting in his eyes. Usagi pleaded with him, and then he cooled down, looking helpless. Yaten in a light blue dress shirt that was open to at least the sixth button. His orange cargo pants were covered in big pockets and he wore heavy Garmond hikers. Usagi figured he was going for the punk/skater boy routine. He looked hot. Ameni had the style, but Yaten had the sizzle.
Naru came out, blushing a lot from her outfit. Her red hair was moussed so it stood on end; orange glitter was around her eyes and temples and even went into the roots of her hair. She wore a yellow skirt over a slinky red dress that was really short and exposed a lot of thigh.
She hurried to Usagi. "I'll give Umino a heart-attack in this outfit. I tried to get them to pick out a different outfit, but they wouldn't hear of it."
"Well, at least you got the looks, girl." Minako licked her thumb and stuck it to her hip and made a sizzling sound. Minako blushed.
Yaten walked over to Usagi when Ameni was over talking with Rejin. "Is Ameni wearing eyeliner?" He teased. Usagi punched him playfully in the shoulder. "It's all about the look, I know, but eyeliner?" He started to laugh.
"Oh, shush, it's supposed to make your eyes look darker, I think it suits him." Yaten stopped laughing and took up a hurt look on his face. "But you're easily the center of attention when it comes to looks." She added, and licked his lips for the effect. Yaten smiled goofily, and then sauntered off to talk with Yvonne.

When they arrived at the party, there were tons of people waiting to guide them inside. But at this particular, they were out of luck if they wanted autographs. There was a lot of woo-hoos and whistling when the reporters started to take pictures of the model's showy and exposing outfits. Usagi swore she would be grounded till the end of her lifetime if her mother or father ever saw her picture or on TV with the outfit she wore.
Anya and Hugo led the way inside to the club. The rest followed. Inside they found a live band playing R&B and heavy rap music. Usagi could already feel her hips swaying to the beat. This was defiantly going to be a night to remember. The crowds were covered in pink and blue foam, decorated with the funky lights that tinted the foam. The girls were slinking around the guys, sedusive and tight in nothing but their bathing suits.
Usagi and Yvonne looked at each other, and then yelled went the band stopped playing their music to stare at them.
"Non aliquis incipit convivium sine nobis!" Usagi yelled.
"Nos sumus convivium!" Yvonne added.
"What?" Minako asked.
"It's Latin. I learned it last year. It means 'No one starts the party without us.'" Usagi explained.
"'We are the party!'" Yvonne squealed. Usagi and the others hurried into the bathrooms with their duffle bags and quickly changed into their bathing suits.
Usagi took out her bathing suit, disco amber colored with pull string bikini shorts and a very complicated string top. The strings circled around her waist and up to her torso where there was a thick strip of padded fabric that went in front of her breasts and that was about all that covered her. The strings tied at her tailbone. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail on top of her head with gold rings to cover her tress holder. Red glitter was glossed down her legs, arms, chest and face.
Usagi went red as a strawberry at her reflection. 'I can't believe Anya talked me into this.'
Usagi walked out of the bathroom into the main room where everyone was covered from head to toe in colored foam and water. She was immediately drenched, soaked with the foam sliding down her wet body. A tall boy came up to her, his dark hair was jelled over one eye and the rest was pulled into a ponytail at the base of his neck.
"I'm Kaleo. Want to dance?" He asked coyly, his deep voice intoxicating her. She smiled and nodded and he took her hand and gently pulled her through the crowd as a fast rap song began to play. Usagi had been to a club before, and she defiantly knew how to party.
She slinked her body close to Kaleo's. He put his hands on her waist. She stretched her hands to the ceiling, and sank lower, the muscles in her thighs pulling tight. He sunk with her, bending his knees and moving with her, his hands swaying with her hips.
Yaten was watching from a corner of the room. His tanned chest was bare, and silver necklaces circled around his neck, and the foam floated down his body, and he could see the majority of the girls in the room were following them down his chest. His pants were drenched, and clinging to his legs, and he wore no shoes. He watched in jealousy as Usagi danced with various boys.
Finally he had enough. He stomped his way over to Usagi, snatched her from her current partner and took her in his arms. "Are you doing this on purpose?" He whispered into her ear.
She looked at him innocently. "Doing what on purpose?" She batted her eyelashes. He laughed, and flung her away from him, still keeping contact with his hands, and then taking her back. Her hands lifted to his shoulders, and his slid down her sides. She whirled around him and then moved against him, tight as a cat. Yaten was sweating with the heat and the water and the foam that was decorating Usagi's and his hair.
"Excuse eh moi." Ameni came up from behind them and tapped Yatens shoulder. He then stole Usagi's hand and pulled her with him to another part of the room, closer to the stage as Love Potion No. 9 started to play. They danced quick salsa steps, but Usagi didn't press against him like she did with Yaten. He pulled her to him, and gave her a quick peck on the lips before she could turn. Usagi pulled away.
"Ameni, I have to tell you something." She said to him.
"What?" He yelled over the music. He couldn't' hear her.
"I want to break up with you!" She tried to say.
"I can't hear you!" He yelled back, the crowd pushing the two closer to the stage.
"I WANT TO BREAK UP WITH YOU!!!!" Usagi yelled one last time. And this time he heard her, but unfortunately, the rest of the club heard her as well. The band had stopped the moment Usagi started to yell. Now everyone was looking at Usagi and Ameni. They were all quiet, and Ameni looked embarrassed, as did Usagi. He took a raspy breath, then looked at her with a hurt in his eyes, and then turned to and walked briskly away, towards the exit.
"Ameni!" She tried to push through the crowd to talk to him, but the music was playing again, and everyone once again started to push towards the stage. 'Oh no. I hurt him.' She thought, her mind going haywire. She had never wanted to hurt him. He was still sweet at heart, and she had probably just broken it. She looked up and saw his retreating back at the exit, looking at her with sad eyes. She starred at him with the same sadness. He looked down, and then walked out the door, a series of starry-eyed girls trying to follow him.
Usagi felt terrible. She took her hair out of the golden rings and the scrunchy. She shoved her way through the crowd, not caring if she knocked a few people over and headed towards the bar. She ordered some heavy weight pink vodka and drowned the glass in one gulp.
"Right on, sista." The guy sitting on the stool next to her said, holding his glass up to give her a toast.
"Eat me." Usagi hissed at him, and he just shrugged and turned towards the crowd. Usagi ordered another drink, and downed it again. After a few more drinks, Yaten finally found Usagi sitting drunk with her head in her arms and hair greasy and uncombed. He quickly came over and pulled her head up to look at him. The glitter on her face was pasty, her face was pale, and her eyes were hazy.
"You told him?" He asked.
"Told him.and he.. left with a grrrrrrrr." She hiccupped.
Yaten looked at her with a concerned face. "Maybe I'd better take you home."
"Ameni.haaaaa." She couldn't finish her sentence before she passed out on the stool; Yaten put an arm behind her back and another under her knees. She hung limply in his arms. Thinking he couldn't take her home like this, he'd had better take her to his place. Her parents would probably think he'd gotten her drunk at the party, and he wasn't about to let them see her in the bathing suit she was wearing.
"Hugo! Rejin! Ken! Nick! A little help over here!" Yaten yelled to them over the music. The boys came over to assist him getting Usagi out of the party. He pulled her through the threshold and the limos were lined up outside. There Dana and Lee took her and Yaten went with her. They headed off towards the Three Light's studio.

Yeah, Yeah, I know. Short, but I'm tired right now. Tell me what you thought, and I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible, okay?
