It is already 2:00 in the morning. After Mai performed, she started to prepare herself to go home "this night is very tiring". Her job as a pole dancer is to entertain guest, specifically male guests; wearing a thick make-up, some accessories and wearing a piece of cloth while dancing is very difficult, especially to her age. "Oh how I miss school". Howshe wish that she has still going to school and rushing to SPR office to make Naru's tea after. She misses those days; she can't help to remember on how she got into this place.

~~~FLASHBACK~~~

She is carrying her bag including the things that her parents left her. She is sitting in the one of the benches in the park thinking where she can go. She experience several things this past few days; she was informed by the bank that her parents house is in debt, she try to save it but the money she earn from working to SPR is not enough, in the end the bank took it, because of that she can't pay her apartment rent anymore. After she lost her job, she tried to look for another but sadly, no accept her. They alwaysask, "How old are you my dear?" Or "what is your previous job?" when they knew about my previous job they got scared. They believe that I will be a Bad luck to their business or worst they will think I am a demon. Lastly, Naru left her; he goes back to England for his twin brother's funeral

When we found Gene's corpse (Naru's twin brother) I stop dreaming about him, maybe he was now resting in peace.

She looks at her phone, hesitant if she will call bou-san or ayako for help.

"uhm… sumimasen. Is there something bothering you?" a guy said, he looks like he is on his 40's wearing a office attire suit, he is sitting with her on the same bench. "I can't help to notice that you already sigh a nth time and when I look at you, you look problematic. Is there something bothering you?" the Man asks her with a little smile on his face.

Mai look at him, it not her habit to talk to a stranger but maybe this time it will really help a little if she talk with someone. After long chatting with the stranger, she did not realize that she fully told everything about herself including her problem.

"It's that what bothering you?"

Mai nod.

"I can help you"

Mai was surprise, why she suddenly trust this man. She didn't know him in the first place but he is offering help. Should she accept it?

"How are you going to help me?" Mai asks him suspiciously.

The Man gets something to his pocket. It was a piece of paper and he gave it to her stated:

AKIHITO SATO

Heaven wings, Manager.

Mai's jaw drop and her eyes got widen. It was a calling card. This person is a Manager? She can't believe her luck!

"I can give you a job and also a place where you can stay."

Mai immediately agree without thinking. "Arigato, but what is Heaven's wing?" Mai asks him innocently.

Thw man suddenly gets uneasy to her question. "Well, uhm… it's a… it's a… Restaurant, right, a restaurant where delicious food serve and tastes like heaven". Sweat is now forming to his head.

"I see. So when should I start?"

His face brightens up when he heard her. "I can take you there first if you like" then smiled at her.

She smiled back.

"This is Heaven's wing". Mai look at the place. "We only open at night and all workers here are women except me the manager and also the owner.

"Sato-san!" A man who is on his 60's appeared at their back. He is a short man, plump and bald; He was surrounded by two men wearing a black and white attire.

"Mr. Niwazaki! Mai, this is our boss Mr. Niwazaki, he is the owner of Heaven wings and soon he will be your boss too. Mai bow to give a respect. "Mai-chan, why don't you sit first so I and Mr. Niwazaki will talk about your new job?"

Mai sit on a place nearer to the two, but the two men started to walk away. She just inspects the place instead. "this restaurant looks different, I never seen such a restaurant like this, it has a big stage in the front with a long metal pole, aside to the small round table at the center there's also couches at the side of the stage, and there's also place for liquors. This place is really strange" Mai turn her head and look at the two men talking near at the door, she notice that there's a greedy smile on Mr. Niwazaki's face, she can't understand, it makes her nervous when the two men look at her back.

"Mai-chan, come here for a bit" Sato-san called her. She walks slowly. When she reach them, she got surprise when Mr. Niwazaki held her chin looking at her straight from the face, moving her right to left and up and down.

"Such a pretty face, not bad Sato-san" He heard Mr. Niwazaki said. "How old are you girly?"

"Si…Six…Sixteen…" Mai said after Mr. Niwazaki release her face.

"Good. Then turn around"

Mai was confused but obey him then heard Sato-san speak.

"She's innocent and no experience. I guarantee you that" Mai eyes widen as she heard that.

"Mr. Sato-san, what's going on? Would you care to explain everything to me?" He did not answer her. Instead, he moves to receive money from Mr. Niwazaki.

Mai froze when she felt someone hold her arms; it was the one of Mr. Niwazaki's bodyguard dragging her.

"Mr. Sato-san! Mr. Sato-san! What's the meaning of this? Help me!"

And mai was drag away.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Mai was taken into a room. "What am I doing in here?" at first, she thought she would be taken into a dark storage room, tying in a thick and tight rope with a cloth cover on her eyes but, she was mistaken, she was brought into a dressing room free hands and uncover eyes.

"Why am I in a dressing room? "She saw that the mirrors are lining up with a lot of dresses and shoes at the corner. "I need to get some help". She searches her pocket to look for her phone but it was not there. "Maybe that men in black took it while his dragging me"

She waited for an hour thinking what will happen to her. "How could I easily be fooled? Am I really desperate? If Naru still in Japan, what will he do if he notice that I am missing?" Mai sigh, "of course, he would not give a damn care; but, I miss him, I also miss Lin but I Miss Naru more.

She is in the middle of her thought when the door burst open

"Hey girly, the manager wants to talk to you, so you should behave and stay put. alright?" said of the man in black who took her here.

The manager appeared to his back and Mai run to him "Sato-san! Sato-san please, let me out of here. Please help me!"

"I'm sorry Mai I deceive you. I just really need money to save my wife's life; she got a terminal disease you know? And I want to keep her life longer that's why I did this.

"Then tell me what this is all about? What is this place? And you sell me to that Niwazaki man right?

Sato cleared his throat before he speaks. "Mr. Niwazaki is the owner of big pub houses here in Japan. Heaven's wing is the one. I am the manager of this pub and the recruiter of women who works here and this is the place you will be working starting tonight. I already ask Mr. Niwazaki that your job is to be a pole dancer, you will entertain guest through dancing and that's it! You got money and place to live." Sato-san breathes first before he continues, "I beg the owner for your sake because of your age, he guaranteed that you will be protected, no can buy or no one can take you to bed. So please, the only thing that I will ask you is not to escape. No one can escape to Mr. Niwazaki, I assure you that, you can take other job for additional income, but you can't leave. In addition, Mr. Niwazaki is a part of international syndicate, he got a lot of connection, so, don't you dare to go to the police. Don't make me worried"

It takes a minute before Sato words sink in to Mai's mind. She cannot believe this could happen to her. She wants to cry, she wants to scream and shout for help.

"What am I going to do?" Mai said slowly sliding her back down to the wall. Sato-san felt guilty, he cannot look at her. It is his fault that he destroyed her life.

He leaves Mai crying into that room. "Anis!" the girl whose cleaning the counter immediately move towards him "there's a girl in the dressing room, she's a new here, please take care of her. And… she will be performing tonight so please assist her, let the other perform with her first, if she can handle it then we can let her perform alone".

"I understand" Anis said, "Uhm… manager; do you think it's ok if we let her perform tonight? Do you think she can do it?"

"I know she can" Sato starts to walk again. He pause when he forgot something say to her. "And anis, she will be living next to you, show her the place. Ok?"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

The time runs fast, it's already dark when Mai notice it. The dressing rooms door open and she saw a girl with a blonde hair came in. "Hi, I'm Anis. I also work in this place and I will be the one to take care of you." She came close and lend her hand to her. "Please stand up. Let me help you and beside it's already time, let me fix your hair and your make-up. Ok?

Mai reach her hand, she stand up and the woman assists her to sit at one of the chair facing a mirror. She looks at herself in the mirror, seeing her own reflection and didn't care when Anis started to undo her hair and put make-up to her face. "There" after she finishes fixing her and starts to fix herself. "here, wear this, this will be our costume for tonight." it was a cloth, one is a lacy white bra while the other one is also a white micro mini skirt. She look at Anis, she is wearing the same as the cloth she is handling.

"I can't wear this," Mai said in a hoarse voice due of long hour of crying.

"You have to, if you didn't follow the manager, the owner will get angry, and you wouldn't like to see the owner angry, trust me."

After she heard that Mai started to unbuttoned her clothes and slowly put on the cloth that Anis gave her.

After she finish changing her clothes. "See, it looks good on you" Anis said smiling at her, she can't return her smile because of the numbness she is feeling right now. "Were going to perform in a minute, please prepare yourself Mai.

She got nervous. She don't want to do this.

"it's time girls" another woman came to the dressing room, she is also wearing the same as they were. Anis, grab her hand and take her at the stage.

There, she saw 5 to 8 of girls already at the stage, they are wearing the same, she look at the people sitting in front of them, most of them are male with a drooling faces.

She heard a tune playing on the background and the girls she's with at the stage starts to move, start to follow the rhythm of music while swaying their body. Mai was froze, she can't move, she can't do it. Tears started to fall from her cheeks, she wrap her arms around her, feeling that it's an only way to hide her body. she heard the crowd booing, "Dance, Girly Dance!" she heard someone, she can't hold it anymore and started to sob. "Mai, follow me, dance like this, dance like what we doing."

"I can't!" Mai is now bursting to tears. She can't help to think Naru "naru, where are you naru?" she sob."naru, help me, get me out of here!"

"if she don't want to dance, let us make her Hot!" one of the audience shout and then Mai felt that some liquor splash to her body, making her wet. When they did that, her tiny cloth started to stick to her body. Everyone look at her from head to toe. The cloth has no more use, when you look at her you will almost see her soul that made the male crowd lose their control.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

That's what Mai remember, tears already falling to her cheeks, she notice that she already reach home.

But wait, someone is waiting at the outside of her house. Mai was shock

"Na…Naru…?"
