Chapter Five

What Happens At The Club...

Both Riku and Victoria were quiet as they walked along the road in search of Kairi. Victoria had no idea why Riku had suddenly gone so snappy. She didn't like it at all. Could it be because of Brandon. She laughed at herself. Yeah right...she thought to herself, Like a hot guy like Riku would be jealous of me. Get a grip.

But what she didn't know or should I say believe that the reason that he was snappy was because he was jealous of Brandon. He saw her beauty right through her weight and fine face. But he wasn't sure Brandon did. There was something about him that Riku didn't like but he couldn't figure out what.

"Look!" Victoria said, pointing to the back of a building. A white figure that seemed like it continuously kept losing balance was walking into it, "A nobody."

Riku nodded, "Let's go..."

"But wait," she stopped him, "It's in a club. We'll have to go through the front."

"Why?"

"Because," she said, taking off her katana, "This is Club Lambergini. Anyone who goes through the back means there's a meeting back there and you'll need a password or you won't be able to get in at all," she placed her katana in some brushes, "We'll need to find a way in from the front."

"What are you doing with your sword?" he asked, looking at her in a weird way.

"They won't let us in with swords on us," she explain. She reached into her pocket and pulled out two knives, "So we'll have to use these."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes," she said, handing him the knife, "It's the only way in."

He took the knife and strapped it to his ankle, "Whatever," he said and he placed his keyblade next to her katana in the brushes.

"Ok, let's go."

They walked up to the entrance of the club. When they were about to go in, they were stopped by the door guard.

"How old are you two?" he asked them, blocking the doorway.

"Nineteen and Eighteen," Victoria lied quickly. And she nodded to Riku for him to follow along.

"And where are your IDs?"

"Um...well..."

"No ID, no entrance."

Some stepped out from the club. It was King Mickey, "They're with me," he said, nodding, "They're ok to come in."

The guard stared at Riku and Victoria hard and then looked at the king. Then he stepped aside and let the two of them pass. When they were well out of earshot, Victoria asked:

"How did you get in?"

"Don't ask," he said, "We saw Heartless comming into this club and we had to investigate."

"Yeah, we saw a Nobody enter through the back," Riku explained, "What about Sora? Did you convince him to come?"

The king looked down, "He's being so stubborn."

Riku looked down too, "So you didn't."

He nodded, "But we will have to do without him. I'm sure he'll come around soon."

Riku nodded also, "You're right, so let's find out where those Heartless went."

"Oh, I'll be taking care of that," said Brandon, as he stepped in between the two of them, "The king already issued the order. You can be the look out."

"I came here to fight. Not to be a damn look out."

Brandon laughed, "Watch the language. And yes you will be the look out. You and Vic. I'm gonna go figure out who's in the meeting room with all the Heartfull."

"Heartless."

"Whatever," Brandon looked around the club, seeing if there were any clues. He decided to go to the bartender. It was a woman, so he knew he could get an answer out of her. He walked up to her and sat down at a bar chair.

The woman laughed, "Are you even old enough to be in here?" she asked.

"I guess not."

She smiled, "But you are cute enough for the place. Cuter than all the other drunks here."

Brandon knew he was getting somewhere, "You're not so bad looking yourself."

"You got a GF?"

"Yes I do but she's just a chick on the side. What I want is someone...older..."

The woman giggled, "I like that."

"And more pretty..."

"My name is Randa," she said, leaning over a little so he could see her bust. And, of course, he did see it.

"I wanted to ask," he said, "Who is in the meeting room?"

"Why do you ask?" she asked, "You gonna leave me?"

"No, I'll be back, I promise, just tell me who's in the meeting room..."

She bit her lip, "A woman named Maleficent."

He nodded, "Thank you," he got up from the chair, preparing to leave, "I'll be going now."

Randa reached over the counter and grabbed his shirt. She pulled him in close and kissed him. He kissed her back.

And across the room, who had watched the whole thing, was the angered Riku, who turned around to find Victoria to tell her.
