XXxXxXxXxXxXx

"Get me a drink will ya? Hard vodka." Bryan said. "You might as well get one for all of us."

"Um sure. No problem." Rei said then jumped off the stage area over to the bar that was off to the side.

Kai's eyes were glued to Rei's backside as he walked off.

"Hey." Came a curt voice from the floor near the tables. "Watch it while you have the chance cause there is no way you're going to get it." Tala almost growled in defense of his friend while the singer stared.

Bryan looked at Tala for a long moment scanning his body and smirked slightly.

"Oh? And why won't I? Are you his boyfriend or something?" Kai asked raising an annoyed eyebrow.

"No." Tala glared. "I'm his best friend. And I won't let you use him then leave him broken like some groupie." He put his hands on his hips and glared more.

"Hn." Kai said closing his eyes. "We'll see." Kai pulled his guitar out of its case and began to tune it with ease.

"What songs tonight?" Garland asked his group. "We want to make a good concert."

"I defiantly want to do Phenomenon and Tomorrow." Kai said as he finished tuning.

"I was thinking we also do Rawkfist." Bryan said tuning. "Maybe even Goodbye."

Kai gave a curt nod, sounds good to me so far, of we think of others later we'll just add them in, although I don't want to pull an all nighter, I'd like to be able to have some fun tonight."

"Fun with the sexy bartender." Bryan coughed.

Kai shot a glare. "Shut up."

Meanwhile Tala walked over to Rei by the bar. "Hey Rei, I want you to be on guard tonight." Tala said quietly.

"Hm? Why?" Rei asked as he finished pouring the drinks.

"The bastard lead singer is looking at you like a piece of ass." Tala scowled. "Just don't let him do anything stupid to you ok?"

"Um, ok I won't." Rei nodded and started to walk back with the drinks. "Here ya go." Rei handed each of the band members their drink and was about to jump back off stage when his boss walked in.

"Ah! Soul Release, I see you made it safely. Is everything to your liking?" He asked in a cold almost fake voice.

"Yes Boris, everything is fine." Kai said with a nod as he drank from his drink.

"The staff isn't bad either." Bryan said with a smirk directed at Kai.

Kai shot another glare to his counterpart and set his guitar down on a stand.

"Oh I see you've met Rei then, feel free to ask him to do anything, he'll be happy to comply." The man said.

"B-Boris!" Rei said in shock quietly. He didn't like the fact that his boss was giving the band an invitation practically to molest him.

"Hush Rei, be a good stripper and see to it that they stay happy." Boris said with a grin then walked off to the side.

Rei's eyes bored into his boss's back as he turned and left. "How dare him."

"Stripper, eh?" Kai asked with a smirk. The rest of the group chuckled.

"Um, I have to go… um … help Tala!" Rei came up with the quickest excuse he could and started to leave in a hurry.

"Not so fast love." Kai said as he stood up and wrapped an arm around Rei's waist pulling him back. He sat back down pulling Rei onto his lap. "You have to keep me happy right?"

"Y-yes." Rei said meekly, highly uncomfortable on the celebrity's lap.

"Well then I guess you better stay were you are love." Kai said smirking pulling Rei against his chest using the arm that was placed around his thin waist.

Bryan and Garland chuckled while Spencer rolled his eyes at Kai's antics.

"Rei! Get over here and clean this floor! It's filthy!" Boris yelled from the other side of the bar, off the stage.

"Thank you." Rei said quietly as he slipped off the celebrity's lap.

"What?" Kai asked hearing the lithe boy's words and feeling a bit jarred that someone was happy to leave him.

"Um I said nice to meet you." Rei said quickly then pivoted off the stage over to his angry boss where he was instructed to clean the floor that was proclaimed 'filthy.'

"Oh burn." Garland chuckled. He watched the lithe boy hurry off, and in no way was he upset about leaving. "Seems like you're loosing your touch Kai."

"He's just being stubborn." Kai snorted. "I'll have him by the end of the night, unless I find someone better."

"The red head seems protective dontcha think?" Bryan asked looking over at the said Goth who was still working on tables.

"Nah." Garland said sarcastically. "No shit Sherlock."

"Thank god." Rei thought as he picked up a cleaning cloth, got on his hands and knees, and started scrubbing. "H-he scared me." The soapsuds and bubbles shone on the floor and each bubble held a reflection of Rei's face. "Ha! He probably doesn't even know my name and yet he flirts. That will tell more about his character than any conversation." Rei chuckled to him self quietly at the thought.

He thought about how the handsome Russian brought him onto his lap. "I must have been blushing like a school girl." Rei thought shamefully. "I can't believe I just let him do that!"

He scrubbed the floor furiously trying to wipe the thought out of his mind almost. The floor was shining now that it was clean. "Wait." Rei said under his breath quietly. "When it's finished I'll probably have to go back to them!" He thought.

Tala walked over quickly, making sure Boris didn't see. "Rei! I'll try and keep you with jobs so you don't have to go back to those pricks. I can't believe they're treating you like a groupie!"

"It's no big deal, just one night right?" Rei gave a weak smile as he picked up his cloth and dried off the now shining floor.

"Still." Tala scowled, "I don't like it. Rei, they're going to take advantage of you because Boris practically handed you to them on a silver platter. Especially the lead singer, the one with two-tone hair. I don't like him. Avoid him if you can."

"He scares me." Rei replied softly as he put his cleaning things away.

"He's trying to intimidate you into submission, don't succumb to him ok?" Tala asked with concern in his ice blue eyes. Then Tala went back to his tables to finish.

Rei took a deep breath and took a peek at the band, he found that the lead singer's eyes were pointed directly at him still holding him in their ruby gaze.

"Ok Rei what always calms you down?" He thought to himself when one of the songs he wrote with Blake popped into his head. He smiled and started to sing it to himself under his breath as he pulled out a mop and went to another section of the floor.


Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Instantly, he started to calm down and he let his mind wander. He moved his mop to the beat as he sang to himself. It always calmed him down, no matter what. He allowed his mind to wander.

The beat picked up and Rei twirled around a bit forgetting about the Russian watching him with interest.

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

Kai watched as the boy twirled around with his mop, cleaning up the floor so when the guests came in, it would be perfect. "What the hell is he doing?" Kai said under his breath as the boy twirled about, swaying his hips. Kai stood up quietly and got off the stage without making a sound. He walked over to the bar and took a seat on one of its many cushioned stools. He heard the boy singing in his melodic voice.

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

"It is the boy from the pick up." Kai thought to himself. "That voice… Why is he a bartender? There is no possible way a recording studio would turn him down!" Kai shifted weight on his seat causing a loud squeak to be heard.

Rei froze and whipped around to see what had made the sound. He saw Kai with his arms crossed death glaring the stool like it was the cause of global hunger, global warming, and all wars known to man kind all at the same time.

"Damn." Kai cursed narrowing his eyes knowing he had been caught. He regained his composure and looked at Rei. "You have a lovely voice."

"T-thanks." Rei stuttered from embarrassment, he rarely let anyone here him sing. The only ones were Tala, Blake, and sometimes Kenny.

"Kai! Get your ass up here! This bar opens in 30 minutes! Get set up already!" Bryan yelled from up on stage where he was setting up his amp.

Garland and Spencer were also setting up, connecting wires.

"Coming!" Kai called back, he took one last glance at Rei. "You'll see more of me tonight love." He turned and went up the stage to where he set up his amp and checked his guitar one last time.

Later that Night

The doors had opened and people flooded in droves, the crowded the dance floor and any open table.

Tala, Rei, and Kenny sat behind the bar watching the room fill up quickly.

"Full house eh?" Tala asked. "I guess this bad is popular after all."

"Apparently." Kenny said.

Boris walked over. "Rei!"

"Y-yes?" Rei asked startled, he didn't know his boss was even around.

"Kai has requested that you dance on stage, it seems no stage dancer's were hired." Boris said quickly. "Tala, you'll be bartender tonight."

"Dancing? With them!" Rei exclaimed.

"Yes! Now go!" Boris grabbed Rei's wrist and dragged him behind stage where the band was behind the curtain. "The show starts in 5 minutes, just do what they tell you." Then he sulked off into the darkness of the growing crowd.

Rei sighed and walked over to the band slowly.

"Seems our dancer has finally arrived." Bryan said playing with his pick, which was in his mouth.

"So… What do you want me to do?" Rei asked quietly.

"Well, for the most part, you'll be dancing with me. Most of the songs we're doing don't need me playing my guitar, so I need something to do." Kai said.

"Oh… U-um ok." Rei said.

"Here we go." Garland said as the curtain moved and the bar darkened so only the stage was illuminated.

Kai grabbed Rei and put a muscled arm around his waist. He put the microphone up to his lips. "Are you mother fuckers ready!" He yelled into the mike.

The crowed howled and cheered. Hands flew up into the air and screams of girls were heard.

"I said are you mother fuckers ready!" Kai yelled louder into the mike at the crowed that was going wild. "I'd like to introduce you to my bitch for the night…." He pushed Rei forward a bit so the crowd could see him better. "Rei!"

Catcalls were heard as men and women alike stared at Rei.

"Hey baby, wanna come over to my place?"

"Nice ass there babe!"

"Hey Kai, share would ya?"

Kai smirked at the last comment. He pulled Rei closer to his chest and kissed him on the lips feverishly. "No."
