Chapter 4

"Here are your tickets ladies, enjoy the concert," the ticket booth man handed two tickets to two happy
young ladies as they squealed and hurried inside to get close seats to the stage. The crescent moon was
shining brightly, outclassing the stars in the midnight sky. The concert hall was quickly filling up with adoring
Jade fans as they waited for the concert to begin.

"I..n-no," she laughed softly as she tried to avoid his expert hands that were tugging at the buttons of
her top.
"Cut that out. You know I have to get ready.."
"Yeah, but not for another hour. That's enough free time for me.." he smirked as he touched her,
earning a gasp from his partner.
"Juu-chan, no!" she laughed more as he kissed her neck and caressed her thigh, "This is gonna be
televised! What'll the...audience think when..when they see marks on me?"
"That you have a very loving boyfriend, that's what," he retorted, his hand snaking up her skirt,
earning another gasp.

"...Uh-huh..yeah, I'm almost ready," Pan said as she put on her hoop earrings. There was knock at
her door. It slowly opened and Videl peeked her head in, "Sweetie, Bra and Marron are waiting for you in the
car."
"I'll be out in a sec mom," Pan turned back to mirror, adjusting her bandanna. The girls had insisted
on her wearing the faded jeans and orange halter top for their night out. She gave her reflection another
once-over before sighing and mumbling a 'here goes nothing' before heading out the door with her bag.

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right

The two laughed as they landed softly on the comforter. He slowly pulled off her blouse and began
unfastening her bra. His lips never left neck as she laid still on the bed, submitting to his ministrations as
he continued to caress her skin.

'Cause I'm drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

She helped him slink out of his shirt and kissed his chiseled abs up to his neck and lips where she
captured them in hers and fell back on the bed.

"Bye mom! Bye dad!" Pan called out from outside before hopping into Bra's car and zooming off into
the night.

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you

She let out a stifled gasp as he captured one of her breasts in his mouth, licking and nibbling at her
flesh as clinged to his raven mane.

I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine

"Juu-chan.."
"Shh.." he kissed her again as his hand found its way between her thighs.

'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

"You got 'em?" Pan asked as the wind blew at her hair. Marron smirked and looked back, holding up
the referred items, "Got 'em."
"So how long before we get there?" Marron turned to Bra. She kept her eyes on the road, "It shouldn't
be too long."

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind

She uttered a moan as he entered her and began to rock within her. Her nails dug their way into his
shoulder blades as he held her against the sheets. He kissed her roughly on the lips and he continued to
move within her, earning wonderful sounds from her.

And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

He soon began to rock faster and she began to move with him, both of them moaning into the night
as their perspiration filled the air of the room. Faster and harder they went as time passed by when they
finally came and collapsed on the bed in a tangle of limbs. Jade smirked and panted, reaching down to kiss
her beau on the forehead before resting her head back against the pillow. She looked over at the clock.
"Shit!"
"What? What is it?" Juunanagou sat up abruptly.
"I'm late!" Jade moved from underneath him to find her clothes. Juunanagou sighed and crossed his
legs, Indian-style under the blankets.
"Do you have to go?" Juu looked at her with puppy-dog eyes. Jade looked at him with a lowered brow,
"Yes, I have to go. This is a concert!" She fastened her bra, "If I'm late for this performance, Tommy will
know I'm still seeing you."
"What's wrong with that?" Juu blinked. Jade turned to him with a sympathetic look, "He made me
promise I wouldn't see you again. He think you're dangerous."
Juunanagou scoffed as she picked up her blouse, "I am dangerous."
Jade looked at him with a smirk, "No, he thinks you'll hurt me."
"Oh."

"Right this way, Mr. Bakuto," the waiter led Mr. Bakuto and his men through the casino to their seats.
The casino had this whole 'Arabian Nights' theme going on, there were veils and silk and gold decorations
all over the place. Bakuto and his men sat comfy on large satin pillows as they awaited their food and
entertainment.
"Your client should be here to see you shortly, but first, entertainment," the waiter clapped twice and
the barely see-through, silk curtains split to reveal a line of belly dancers headed their way.

Juunanagou sighed and rested his head against his arm, looking at the card she left behind. He
squinted.
She said she's late, but she doesn't go on for another hour...hmm, what's that little vixen up to? Juunanagou
got up to get dressed. It was time he paid Jade another visit. He went over the card again, memorizing the
address of the concert.

"This is all fine and everything, but where is my client? He was supposed to be here an hour ago," Mr.
Bakuto turned to the waiter.
"Don't worry, he'll be here sooner than you think," the waiter said with a grin. Mr. Bakuto turned back to
the belly dancers. One dancer in particular stood out amongst the rest. Like all the other girls, her outfit
consisted of long silk skirts, cloudy brassieres and veils for their mouths and hair. She stood out the most
because while the others wore bright colors, she wore dark, champagne violet colors and she seemed to be
eyeing him. He smirked and beckoned her closer. She slowly strutted his way, taking a seat on his lap
dancing for him before whispering in his ear, "If you come to my room, I can give you a personal dance if
you like."
She pulled away so he could see a devious smirk written all over her face. He smirked, "Lead the way."

"Looks like we're here early, nothing's happened yet," Pan said, looking around as they walked down
the aisles, turning heads as they passed by.
"Don't be silly Pan, they schedule it early so you can get your seats before the show starts and buy
refreshments," Bra said lightly before leading them down another aisle.
"Hey cutie! Yeah, you with the bandanna!" Pan turned to her left to see two guys eyeing her and she
blushed.
"Me?" she pointed at herself and nodded. Marron suddenly came up behind them and pulled their
arms behind their backs none-too-gently, "This one's here for the concert, nothing else boys."
The two boys nodded nervously and plopped back down into their seats. Marron walked back up to Pan
in her black tube top and hip-hugging navy blue jeans and pulled Pan along by the hand.
"You're gonna have to get used to pigs like that trying to hit on you," Marron mumbled as they caught
up with Bra.

"Where are you my little vixen.." Mr. Bakuto said in a sing-song voice as he sought out the
belly-dancer in the spacious luxury suite she led him to.
"In the bedroom.." he heard her reply in the same tone and smirked, heading inside. Besides and
jacuzzi, television and a large window, there was king-sized bed in the room with a pink silk canopy. It was
cloudly enough to see someone was behind it, but not who it actually was.
"There you are," he said as he started pulling off his blazer and unbuttoning his shirt. She was
standing on top of the bed, and judging by her figure, she had taken off her skirt. He eyed her figure
hungrily as he started tugging at his belt and walking towards the curtains to pull them back.
"I've got a surprise for you.." he said. The girl's back was to him and she turned around with a smirk,
dressed in only her lingerie and veil.
"Wait, let me show you mine first," she said before pulling him into the bed and straddling his waist.
"Show me baby," he said with a smirk. She gave a sinister chuckled before pulling a dagger out from
under his pillow and lifting it above her head. The man shrieked and jumped up from under her, throwing
her into the sheets as he ran for the door, only to trip over his pants. He tried to run for the door, but the
dancer threw the dagger at the knob. The man gasped and made a dash for the window. The girl pulled out
Arabic-style sword from under the bed and ran towards him. The man screamed as she ran top speed at
him...and ducked at the last minute, sending her flying out the window.
The man panted and got up from where he sat to peek out of the window, perhaps get a glance of his
attempted-murderer falling to her death. He blinked. Nothing. That's strange. Something long and silver
flew past him.

A maid from the floor below was airing out a blanket when she felt something heavy drop in it.
Blinking, she pulled the blanket back inside and pulled it back to find out what she caught. She screamed at
the top of her lungs.

"It's a head! I swear to Kame it's a head!!" the maid could be heard screaming in the halls as security
rushed in. On the roof of the building, the woman stood, her veil blowing in the wind and a clean sword in
hand. A strand of hair slipped out from under her veil. A red strand.

"You guys are all set, ne?" Mr. Lee looked to the make-up artists who had all their equipment and
racks of clothing set out. Jade came running in the door dressed in a zipped up jacket, skirt and sneakers.
"Good, you're here, get her ready," Mr. Lee said quickly as the artists began pulling off her jacket and
leading her to her chair to get her ready.

"And now without further ado, Jade!!" the announcer spoke into the microphone, earning a deafening
roar of cheering as he headed offstage and the lights went dim.

Old record music could be heard as strobe lights scanned the stage quicker than one could blink. As
the base and other instruments began to play, a figure rose from the ground. Jade stood with a smirk on
her face as the crowd went wild, donning tight black leather pants, knee-length leather boots, a leather top
with metal buckles from the chest down, black leather gloves reaching her elbows and a mouthpiece hooked
up. She started to walk closer to the stage as background dancers in matching outfits followed close behind
and matched her dance steps.

PYT - Same Old, Same Old

First time you said that you were leaving
I cried cuz you said you didn't need me
But the second that I started seeing somebody else
It's when ya had to come back to me

To someone who would treat me better
But now you're tripping cuz you see I aint all by myself

The crowd roared as the stage got brighter and the diva more visible.

Why you gonna call me on my phone?
Everytime you see another boy at my door
Oh boy you should've thought of that before
And now you wanna come home
And you're alone
It's the Same Ol' Same Ol' sad scenario
Everytime you say you wanna be so low
Oh boy you should've never let me go
But you've done it before
And now I know its the Same Ol' Same Ol'

The female dancers dispersed and the male dancers began to surround her, earning cheers from the
girls.

Ooohhhh

This too you think that I won't keep on moving
I admit it for a minute
You was having your way

Then it wouldnt take another man
To make you understand
That you want me (oh)
Cause if you really ever cared about me
You wouldn't ever broken my heart, left me
And now you wanna come back and call me up

The guitarists began to play more loudly as the strobe lights dimmed away to nothing and all the
dancers assembled.

Why you gonna call me on my phone?
Everytime you see another boy at my door
Oh boy you should've thought of that before
And now you wanna come home
And you're alone
It's the Same Ol' Same Ol' sad scenario
Everytime you say you wanna be so low
Oh boy you should've never let me go
But you've done it before
And now I know its the Same Ol' Same Ol'

As the bridge began, Jade and four female dancers walked down the ramp which split right into the
audience and created a mini-stage for them.

I told you (I told you)
I'd leave ( you know I told you)
(I told you I would leave you)
Next time (and it's the last time boy)
Boy boy boy you were told this is gettin' old
It's the Same Ol' Same Ol' Same Ol' Same Ol'
Boy boy boy you were told this is gettin' old
It's the Same Ol' Same Ol' Same Ol' Same Ol'

Why you gonna call me on my phone?
Everytime you see another boy at my door
Oh boy you should've thought of that before
And now you wanna come home
And you're alone
It's the Same Ol' Same Ol' sad scenario
Everytime you say you wanna be so low
Oh boy you should've never let me go
But you've done it before
And now I know its the Same Ol' Same Ol'
(REPEAT 3X)

Jade and her dancers began to assemble back on the original stage. As soon as the last line was said,
a trap door opened up underneath, and Jade landed below.

"That was great Jade," Mr. Lee congratulated her as drank from her water bottle while the make-up
artists cleaned her up.

"Hmm...this is the place," he mumbled to himself as he walked through the shadows and headed for
the dressing room, only to be stopped by security.
"Sorry pal, you're not allowed back here without a backstage pass," one of them said, folding his arms.
Juunanagou smirked and stepped into the light. The men squinted at him, "Hey, isn't he--"
"You dork, that's Jade's man! Let 'im in!" a member of security called up from behind, pushing through
the two and allowing Juunanagou entrance.

"We're taking a 20 minute intermission and letting the rookies go onstage before you perform again,
okay?" the stage manager looked to Jade who nodded before he left the room.
"That was a great performance. I've really gotta hand it to you," a voice broke the silence. Jade
blinked and turned around to see Juunanagou standing at the door almost as soon as the manager left.
"How long have you been standing there?" Jade looked at him suspiciously, getting up from her chair.
He smirked, "Long enough."

"I can't believe you got a backstage pass," Pan looked to Bra incredulously as she held it up like a
badge of honor.
"Come on, I wanna go talk with her before the intermission's over," Bra said, hurrying backstage with
her friends following suit.

"N-Now Juu-chan...I thought we agreed--" Jade was cut short as Juunanagou pulled her into his arms
with a devious grin.
"We agreed on some time alone before your performance and we got interrupted. I think we should
make up for lost time," he said with a smirk, already pulling at the string that held her robe together. There
was a knock at the door. Jade sighed with relief, "Come in."
"Uncle Juu?"
"Marron?" Juunanagou blinked and released his girlfriend to be embraced by his niece.
"What are you doing here?" Juunanagou asked. Marron smirked, "I came for the concert. But I bet it's
pretty obvious why you're here."
"So it's true? You two really are together?" Bra walked up to Jade who confirmed it with a smile.
"Now you've got a celebrity in the family, Marron," Pan joked. The couple were bombarded with an array
of questions from the three girls when the stage manager returned, "Um Jade, you're up in a few."
"Thanks. Well, it looks like I'd better head back onstage you guys," Jade gave Juunanagou a kiss on
the lips before he and the girls left the dressing room. Juunanagou was the last to leave and looked back
with a smirk, "I plan on finishing where we left off after this concert's over."
Jade shrugged innocently, "Fine, but after dinner."
