Blood moon part 4 by Lainie

   Kou and Takato pushed through the moving dancers, looking around for their friend. The bass was pumping, lights flashed on and off the dance floor, bodies grinding, it was overwhelming and intoxicating. They wanted to join in, but had to find Akihito first so they could be, in a weird sort of way, his bodyguards in case anyone got too touchy with him. It didn't happen all the time but usually there was at least one or two older men who wouldn't take no for an answer, and then the situation would escalate into an all out brawl. They were usually the ones that got thrown out of the clubs by the bouncers because no one believed them when they'd try and explain what had happened and that they were only trying to defend their friend.

   "I think I saw him over there." Kou pointed to a spot and Takato saw a familiar looking head bouncing around amongst the group gathered at the center of the dance floor.

   "Oh, yeah, that's definitely Aki."

   "I know, you can't miss that messy mop of hair no matter how much he tries to tame it down."

   "Come on, Kou, let's go dance."

   "With ya, bro!"

   They pushed and shoved their way through the tight group of dancers until they got to their friend's side.

   "Akihito!"

   "Hey, Aki!"

   "Takato! Kou! About time you got here, I thought something happened to you guys."

   "Well, if you didn't take off running from us..." Takato shoulder bumped Kou, stopping him in mid speech. "Oh, never mind Aki, let's get down and have some fun!"

   Fist bumping each other, they followed Aki's lead and started dancing. If there was one thing they enjoyed the most together, besides drinking, eating and playing video games, it was watching Aki dance. Once he got started, it was contagious, and everyone in the room would always follow his lead. Dancing, to Aki, was like an art form and something he enjoyed doing more than anything else but photography. What was always first place in his heart though, were his family and closest friends; they were what meant more to him than anything in this world, and if necessary he would protect them with his life.

   Akihito found a spot and closed his eyes, listening for a moment to the song playing, his head began bobbing up and down, then he started swaying his hips in sync with the music. As he began moving his arms and body to the beat, first slowly and sensually, then faster as the beat changed rhythm, his lithe, flexible figure became an instrument working through the sound of the music that was playing from the speakers, his body moved of it's own accord. He set the tone on the dance floor and attracted attention like moths to a flame. The evening out with his best friends was just beginning...

   "Hey, how about we stop and take a break for a while", gasped a tired Takato over an hour later. "I'm working up a real thirst after that workout you gave us, Aki."

   Kou agreed and then added "I wish I knew where you got all that energy from. I could sure use some of it."

   Laughing, Aki grabbed them each by the hand and led them off the floor to the bar to get some drinks. "Come on. I don't want to be responsible for you two old men both passing out on me. Especially when the night is still young and we're just beginning to enjoy ourselves."

   Walking over to the counter, they ordered their drinks and while they waited for the bartender to make them, Takato offered to go and find them another table since the one they used before was taken by another group.

   Aki leaned up against the bar and smiling, turned to look at Kou. "Having fun?"

   "Hell ya. Who wouldn't."
