Hey, hey, hey! Can we hit 50?? Can you do it?
People: Um, yea. So? That doesn't mean we're gonna.
Me: --U whaaaaatever.
Anyways, a chappie that is FINALLY from Tsume's POV! (Or more like Tsume's thoughts...same diff...) So, now they're at the club (Note: Hige and Kiba aren't really pervs; they're more or less just being stupid. And w/ the thoughts, if u think those r pervvy, they're not. If you think THAT'S perverted, you should hear some of the stuff the guys in our 8th grade Language Arts class say...shudders at the thought
And I am VERY sorry to say that I will be in Florida for 2 weeks. I really am, seriously! No sarcasm! I'm really looking forward to writing the next chappie (What Nami and Hige were doing the whole time and beyond, lol). Anyway, I'll post it ASAP I get back...and write it lol. (Note" I was rushed to post this chappie; I didn't want you guys to suffer without Keeping Secrets for TOO long, lol. Well, I hope you appreciate me posting it. I've been SUPER busy. I tell you what all happened when I get back, okay??
Love ya,
Momo
P.S: the 'stage' in the club is from a movie (non-anime) Can you guess which one?? The first person to guess correctly will win a rare Nami plushie!!! (and does Johji-sama seen familiar to you manga otakus?? But since this isn't a crossover, they will only be appearing now...and never again. Sorry! (For those who guess who Johji-sama and his gang are, you will win a complete set of Keeping Secrets plushies!!! WOW! [and don't ask why I put them (the 'gang') in here...I just felt like it lol. I don't know, okay!?!)
.:Chapter 5:.
Tsume
Tsume stepped out of his red convertible and slammed the door behind him. He locked the car while watching the others talk ahead of him.
"I've never been to a club before! Have you guys??" asked Toboe, eyes lighting up at the thought.
"Kiba smirked, "Well, duh we have!"
"Yea," Hige added, "but we've never actually gotten drunk..."
"What about you?" Toboe said, looking across the two boys at Nami.
She laughed, "Well, I've gotten drunk a few times, and been to clubs, but I really don't see what people get out of being drunk. I panic. I worry that I'm gonna end up killing myself."
Toboe smiled, "Well, I might try it. You know, just because."
That made everyone burst out laughing.
"What?" Toboe said, getting a concerned look on his face.
The others were about to respond, but they had reached the white door underneath a black light.
Tsume pushed his way in front of them and showed an ID to the guard blocking their path. The guard just nodded and let them through one by one. He paused and gave Toboe a suspicious glare, but didn't say anything.
Thank God the worst is over...
He turned at everyone's gasp. Apparently they had never been to an exclusive VIP club.
Ahead of them was a huge dance floor with a stage in front. On the stage there was an assortment of African drums in all different sizes. The drums had been coated with a glowing paint that lit up in the black light above the dance floor and stage. As people would pound on the drums to the DJ's music, they wound be splattered with glowing paint. Immediately to their left, there was a huge 50 foot bar that stretched almost the whole wall. In the far corner to their left (at the end of the fancy wood-polished bar) there were tables. You could order food where women dresses in skimpy tuxedo-like kitty costumes served the men. There were men (who were considered 'hot', by Nami) in 'sexy' tuxedos.
Tsume rolled his eyes at those comments. But Hige said, "So, what would you do if I dressed up in one of those tuxedos?"
Nami cracked up and poked him in his well-toned stomach and said, "I don't think you'd fit, Hige-han!"
Even though it wasn't true, Hige still blushed as if it was.
"Aw, come on! I didn't mean it, Hige!" she said sympathetically as she slung hr arm around his shoulder. "Let's go dance!"
As she pulled a blushing Hige to the dance floor, Tsume headed off to the bar.
To his amazement, he was stopped by one of the catty waitresses.
"Hey Tsume-kun," she said sexily.
Great. Like I really need Sakura to show up now...of all people!
Tsume rolled his eyes at the two gaping boys behind.
Damn kids...
"So? You wanna order something from me, Sempai?"
With a sigh, he said, "First of all, don't call me Tsume-kun. Or Sempai for that matter."
She put out her lower lip, making a pouty face.
He glared at her, "Get lost, joro."
She blushed and bit her lower lip. Almost in tears, the 'slut' ran back to the bar, but not before shouting, "Onna-tarashi!"
Chikusho...
"Why'd she call you a play boy, Tsume? What'd you do to the poor girl??"
Tsume sighed and said, "I went on one date with her. When we got back to her place, she asked me to sleep with her. I turned her down, so she feels like I played her, I guess."
"Buta!" said Toboe, jokingly.
"Hey, don't go calling Tsume names. Especially something like a pig for something he didn't do. You'll find yourself without a ride home, Toboe-chan.
Toboe was about to apologize to Tsume, but he had already disappeared into the crowd.
"Where's-?" Toboe started, looking around for his friend.
But Kiba apparently didn't care. He headed towards the mar and muttered to Toboe, "Wanna drink?"
Happily, Toboe trotted over to a stool next to Kiba.
Tsume made sure the boys were settled at the bar before heading off to find Nami and Hige.
Stupid kids. If they get in any trouble here...
But Tsume had found the pair. Nami was apparently trying to teach Hige to dance. He would try a step, but get his legs all twisted together. Then he'd fall down, embarrassing himself as Nami helped him up.
Surprisingly, Nami was an amazing dancer. She could move her hips in mesmerizing ways. Tsume looked away, heading back towards the bar.
Reminds me of...Sakura. The old Sakura-chan...not this joro that she's become...
Shaking him self out of memory lane, Tsume headed back to the bar. To his dismay, Kiba was already drunk and in trouble.
"Kena uten noka?!" he challenged to a blue haired boy.
"Damn right, I'm looking for a fight, boy! No one disses Johji-sama and gets away with it!" the blue haired blue eyed boy snapped.
"Come on, Johji-kun, let's go..." said a tall, raven haired girl. She was wearing designer clothes and tugging on Johji's arm.
A petite girl with long curly hair was trying to hold back a taller boy with many piercings. Just as he broke free, just as Tsume was barreling towards them, just as Kiba was about to land the first punch, a tall shadow loomed over them all. A fake female voice said, "Stop this nonsense!"
Everyone paused and looked up. There, separating Kiba and Johji, was the tallest drag queen Tsume had ever seen. But before he could blink, 'she' had dragged of the group of offenders and was walking out the door.
What...or who...the hell was that?!
Still stunned, Tsume made his was over to Kiba. Toboe, who was now drunk, was trying to help him up.
Tsume headed over to Kiba and helped him to his feet.
"Shitsukoi..." he snapped, whipping his arm out of Tsume's grasp. Shrugging, Tsume lead Toboe (or more or less, carried him) out the door and to the car. He noticed several other drunks that had been brought out by their friends sitting in cars, too. Locking the car, he left the now unconscious boy in the passenger seat.
Tsume headed back into the club, now completely worn out. Sitting down at the bar, he ordered a beer and sat next to Kiba.
"So. What was that fight all about?" he asked, not even looking at the person he was talking to.
Kiba was silent for a moment, and then said, "He was talking to his friends. He said that the police were trying to catch some 'wolf scum' near his property.
Tsume flinched at the phrase wolf scum. But what scared him more was that he knew what two wolves the boy had been talking about. He thought.
Those two twins...what were their names? Ah, Kiro and Kito, they slink around in some gated community...who told me that...?
"They hang around in that gated community, you know."
Tsume looked at Kiba, shocked at first, but then he gave him a half smile.
So that's where I heard it...
"It's the twins," Tsume said matter-of-factly.
Kiba just nodded.
There was another pause for thought and Kiba said, "But they were still insulting our kind, you know?"
"That's no reason to get involved," Tsume said darkly.
Kiba shrugged and went back to his drink.
Tsume was deep in thought about what the twins might have been doing when he heard the waiter say, "Sir, are you sure? That'd be your eighth beer tonight..."
"Jusht gimme da dammmn beer..." someone drawled.
Surprised, Kiba and Tsume looked over to see Toboe sitting at the bar.
"Don't give him one," sighed Tsume, getting up and heading over to Hige.
Kiba followed suit. Tsume sat on his right side (the closest) and Kiba sat on the opposite
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the car?" Tsume asked, giving the boy a hard, cold stare.
Toboe just laughed foolishly and murmured, "Nope, nope, nope! You didn't shay anyfink! I wuz list-en-ing. Very good, toos! But mys eyezez wuz clozez, you thinkeded I was sleepy!"
Kiba rolled his eyes and picked up the boy, who was half singing half chanting, "Shleepy, shleepy, shleepy! Shleepy, shleepy, shleepy!" all the way to the door. Tsume followed Kiba out into the parking lot where they found people in cars moaning in discomfort due to Tsume's car alarm. Apparently, Toboe had fiddled with the lock from the inside. When the door opened, the alarm went off.
Tsume rolled his eyes and said, "Kiba? You stay here with him. I'm going to go tell Nami and Hige to come out here when they're done."
And without even waiting for a response, Tsume abandoned the beer-lusting child and the upset teenager as he headed into the club.
