AN: Thank you all for reviewing. After Rayn Lake (who reviewed twice), KYOFAN-102 and TohruHonda777 all suggested Hips Don't Lie byu Shakira...I decided to use it. Thank you all for reading. So many people (including Rayn Lake who reviews a lot) have stated a pairing. I have decided which one it shall be. Umm... I really don't know what else to write. Currently I am working on Swan Chapter 5. C'est Tout.
Chapter 15: In Da Club
Music pounded from the speakers and everyone watched as Tohru got lost in it. She closed her eyes and let the English song wash over her. Then without warning she grabbed Uo's hand and dragged her off onto the dance floor. The others just watched as the girls began to dance.
"Let's join them!" Yuki shouted over the music. Kyou, Haru and Momiji all stared at him and mouthed 'what?' Hana smiled and grabbed Yuki's hand.
"Yes let us."
"How could you hear me, and how can I hear you if no one else can?" Yuki shouted at her. Hana smiled and purple sparks shot out. "Oh." He said and continued to walk.
They couldn't reach Tohru and Uo, because the crowd was pressing in on them. Yuki tried to make out the time on his watch. Hana smiled and leaned close to him.
"It is almost eleven now." She said and he heard it clearly even though he could hear nothing else.
Yuki smiled at her and then his mouth fell open as he saw her begin to dance. Her black hair was loose and she seemed to be flying. Her movements were quick and graceful and he hardly noticed anything else. But soon she began to move away and Yuki followed her with his eyes and saw Tohru.
Tohru and Uo welcomed Hana into their dance and he felt small all of a sudden. Tohru- not his Tohru- was beautiful. And in that moment Yuki understood a few things. He finally got that you couldn't own someone. He finally got that she belonged with them, even though he loved her more than breathing. He finally got that it wasn't a competition his cousins and him were fighting over, but Tohru. Beautiful, courageous, wise Tohru.
Then he met Hana's dark gaze. Her eyes were dark like his. Her eyes understood what he was feeling. She'd done this all to him. Yuki sighed softly and went to join in. He was welcomed into the group and he began to dance.

Momiji went to go after them when he stopped by a familiar voice. He turned around and low and behold who might it be but Hatori. Momiji knew that he hadn't been spotted yet so he quickly ran into the men's room.
Why was he here? Did Shigure know something and had set them up? Or…Momiji grinned wickedly at this last train of thought. Maybe he was here to 'have some fun'. Now Momiji could 'have some fun' messing with him. The doctor wouldn't be allowed to back out this time.

It was amazing to watch Tohru dance. She was so graceful in the way that her body could flow from one move to the next without any trouble at all.
The club was loud and hazy. Tohru noticed briefly as she walked in that people still managed to smoke in here even though there was still no smoking signs up around the room. People saw her and waved to her, but for once she ignored everyone. The music was blaring and she felt the beat in her very bones. Tohru didn't truly lose herself too much. She was over all a good non-selfish person. But then again everyone had things that would consume them. Tohru was consumed by music.
So here she was, ignoring everything but the beat. She could feel it in her veins and suddenly someone was next to her. She danced a bit with her eyes closed still.
Tohru wasn't just having fun. Oh no. tonight she was living her life. She was not worried about the Sohma's –who need that? She was just being pure rhythm.
She opened her eyes and looked around as the song ended. A new one started and Tohru ignored it. Instead she looked at her friends. Yuki and Hana were dancing together and Tohru smiled.
Kyou was now next to her and Tohru smiled at him. She leaned into him and swayed to the new song that came on. Slower and steadier. A partner song.

Haru noticed that Kyou and Tohru snuggled up. He saw Yuki and Hana? Wow that was weird. Then he saw Momiji running and hiding from someone. Haru frowned and looked behind him. There! HOLY CRAP! What was Hatori doing here? And since when did the ice dragon/doctor go out to clubs?
Haru's eyes went back to Tohru. She was beautiful, but he didn't want to be caught. Haru started to walk over. He pushed through the crowd and ignored the music that was blaring from the speakers. He walked as briskly as possible, and with a certain purpose. Haru was going to save the day by making sure that Hatori did not spot Tohru.

Hatori didn't really understand why he came tonight. He remembered that back with Shigure and Ayame they would go out to places much wilder than this. He remembered how Kana loved to dance and, as with everything else she did, made him enjoy it as well. All that didn't really tell him why he was here.
No. Maybe the reason he was here was to finally meet someone. The curse, it seemed, was partially broken. Now he could find someone, hug them and hold them. Touch them and not fear for his life.
Hatori paused in his thoughts. He saw a flash of yellow out the corner of his eye. It looked a little like- no. He must be dreaming. They are too young to be here. He smiled and all the women who has been ogling him fainted, or fanned themselves.
Che! He thought inwardly smirking I still got it.

"Did you see that?" Uo asked. She'd dragged Tohru off to the toilet, because everyone knows that a girl can't by herself!
"See what?" Tohru asked cutely.
"That hot man smile. Jeez, the way the women acted its like they thought it was the end of the world." Uo replied and then smirked. "But man, was he fine!" and Tohru blushed. She might not be innocent to this kind of talk, but it didn't mean that she could ever be this casual about it.
"Ano.." She began.
"Yeah, a kind of rugged handsomeness that you know could withstand the whole night. Oh it might take a while to win him over, but in the end, I bet he would be so good that he would even make me-"
"UO-CHAN!!" Tohru shouted. "Please, I beg of you, no more."
And Uo chuckled. She ruffled Tohru's hair.
"Maa, okay Tohru." And then she winked. "But you'll know what I mean when you see him." And with that Tohru was dragged out of the bathroom and into the room.

Momiji laughed as the women fainted. Hatori was being weirder than he usually was. He had never seen Ha'ri smile like that. Well, at least not since…
Aw well. It didn't mean anything did it? Well, maybe it meant that he shouldn't bother him. That he shouldn't remind him of the Sohma ties. That was upsetting, but a fact of life. No, a fact of the Sohma life.

Hatori watched the room with interest. He had decided he would dance, but first he had to find a partner that wouldn't faint straight off.
Hatori was quite…happy tonight. He had had a few drinks, to gain some courage and now he was silly as Ayame. Well maybe not quite that bad. But hell, he was up for anything!
Ladies up in here tonight
No fighting, no fighting
We got the refugees up in here
No fighting, no fighting
Shakira, Shakira
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira
Slowly he moved to the centre of the dance floor where he could see a group of women. One was pulled by another into the throng and he couldn't move his eyes off her.
Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Tohru allowed herself to be pulled back onto the centre of the dance floor. She didn't really understand what they were telling her, and neither did she understand the words of the song. However again she let herself be pulled and let it all just flow.
Hey Girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing
And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected - the way you right and left it
So you can keep on taking it
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira
He moved up slowly behind her. She was young but he wasn't that old, so what did it matter to him. He watched her move her hips, and from behind her ass shook and he felt free. Hatori was hip and um…cool? Yeah that was it, cool. Shigure had nothing on him!
Ahem, I mean to say that tonight I feel happy. It feels like spring.. and with that final thought Hatori stopped thinking.
Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel you boy
Come on lets go, real slow
Don't you see baby asi es perfecto
Oh I know I am on tonight my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Shakira, Shakira
Oh boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half man
I don't, don't really know what I'm doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can't so you know
That's a bit too hard to explain
Oh my, Tohru's thoughts ran in circles as the man touched her hips and they began to move in sync. It wasn't, well not sexual. The man was dancing and so was she.
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de dia
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de dia
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira
Oh baby when you talk like that
You know you got me hypnotized
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
Senorita, feel the conga, let me see you move like you come from Colombia
Mira en Barranquilla se baila asi , say it!
Mira en Barranquilla se baila asi
Yeah
She's so sexy every man's fantasy a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a 3rd world country
I go back like when 'pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
I need a whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats
Tohru spun around and faced her partner and couldn't help but gasp at who it was. Hatori looked just as shocked as her and both blushed. Tohru's body kept up the rhythm and Hatori just followed her. The song was almost over and both had to admit that it was fun dancing together.
I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto
Oh, you know I am on tonight and my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection
No fighting
How dare he, Yuki fumed from across the room. He was angry and kind of turned on at the same time. Tohru shouldn't have to put up with an old mans hands all over her. And Yuki started towards them. Tohru isn't his. If she were anyone's she would be mine! Yuki was pulled back by Momiji.
"Don't be an idiot." The usagi snapped, out of character for him. "If Ha'ri has fun he might not tell on us later!" And Yuki sighed. The couple broke apart and Hatori seemed to be scolding Tohru for something. She just smiled brightly and the Sohma boys let a sigh escape them.

Haru stood near the bar with his head hung. I failed. And stupid Hatori danced with my Tohru!
