Unsettled Emotions

Chapter 4

Dances and Warmth

The music pounded in my ears, and as it did so I thought, 'This is chilling?' Somehow Tsuzuki had dragged me to a night club, after stopping in his apartment to change into clubbing clothes, and presently he was dancing in the middle of the dance floor.

"How do I get myself into these situations?" I wondered out loud. I've never been one for loud music, even when I was alive. A good book and some classical music would suit me just fine.

As I sit at the bar alone I just stare out into the crowd. Tsuzuki seems to be having fun. I hear something, and then someone is to my right.

"Would you like to dance?" I look at the person and politely decline. Thinking to myself that I couldn't dance to this music if I tried.

Looking back into the crowd I try to spot Tsuzuki but can't find him. "Where'd he get off to now?" I wonder out loud.

"Miss me?" a voice from the side says. I look to my left and see the smirk on his lips.

"Just wondering what trouble you might have gotten into, considering you attracted quite an audience while you were out there." I state nonchalantly. Which was true many people had turned to watch the gorgeous Shinigami dance.

His smirk broaded into a grin. "Really? I hadn't noticed; I'm just having a good time. Why don't you join me?"

"Iie, I don't think so." There is no way he's getting me on that dance floor.

He sighs a, "Fine," at me and walks back into the crowd. I see a tall blond begin to dance with him and find myself slightly jealous.

'Wait a second. Jealous? Me? Of what?' I shake my head to clear my thoughts.

Tsuzuki sways back and forth to the music, and I find myself watching him. 'What's with me I wonder? Maybe a drink will do me some good, clear my head,' I think absently.

I motion to the bartender to hand me a White Wine Spencer. After filling the glass he hands me it and I take a sip. The wine is soothing on my palette, and I feel it take effect after a while. I look back over at Tsuzuki and he's dancing with someone else this time. I watch him dance, swaying back and forth, 'God he's sultry and he looks good enough to eat in those leather pants and shoulder split top. I bet he tastes sweet,' I think taking another sip. I sit there watching him for a time as he moves to the beat of the music. The music stops and I see him walk my way. 'Why's he looking at me like that?' I wonder.

"Soka, come dance with me?" I hear him request.

I want to but I'm afraid. He seems to sense my hesitation.

"Soka, you can trust me I won't let you fall," those words hold so much more meaning.

Maybe it's the alcohol but I don't want to fight this feeling I'm having. It feels so much deeper than anything else. The warmth and gentleness that radiate off of Tsuzuki calm me. It's complete and utter trust I feel. I feel myself subjecting to my own emotions for a change instead of channeling someone else's. I nod unsurely and reply, "I don't know how."

It's barely a whisper but I hear him reply, "I'll teach you." I feel myself led onto the dance floor, the music is slower now. Tsuzuki envelopes me in his warmth. Leading me gently into a quiet yet soul searing dance. I feel him draw my head to his chest, and I feel his heart beat. Everything seems to drift away, and I can only hear and feel him. We're alone, the music is his heart beat. I feel more peaceful than I ever have.

The music has stopped and another, faster paced, song has come on, but we don't hear it. We're still dancing to our own rhythm.

"Soka," I hear him whisper in my ear.

"Mmm?" I mumble.

"Let's go home, it's late." His breath is warm on my face.

I feel myself nod not even objecting to the word home and mumble my reply. As he draws me away from the dance floor I come back to myself slightly. I notice we had attracted quite an audience as we were dancing. I feel myself blush in embarrassment. Tsuzuki just smiles at me and leads me out of the club, and I feel myself smile back.

To be continued...

A/N: I hope you enjoyed it. I realize 'Soka was a bit out of character, but remember alcohol is intoxicating especially for a low-tolerance Shinigami and can have nice effect especially mixed with a handsome Tsu-puppy BTW that top Tsu was wearing it was the same one he was wearing on the cruize ship when they found Muraki. I love that top I need to make that for a cosplay. wanders off planning

Sankyuu and please review!

UPDATE 8-17-5
I realize that I haven't update Unsettled Emotions in a long time. However I've been swamped, and don't see a clearing on the horizon any time soon unfortunately so the rest of that fic will be on hold for a while. Also for my other two fics I realize that they need some serious revising considering I wrote them about three to four years ago, though I don't think I published them till 2003. Unfortunately these will also have to wait. On I have a Gundam Wing H/R fic if you want to read it, considering it can't be posted on this one legally because of obvious reasons. I hope you will be patient with me and I'll try to do these things when I can. Thank you.
