Chapter one: At the Bar- Nephrite P.O.V

The last of the club goers had left and I set out to clean the up the bar before closing for the night. Jadeite and Zoisite grabbed the brooms and started sweeping while Kunzite headed into the back room to count up our profit from tonight. Just as I pulled out the bottle of cleaner and a wash rag there was a tap on the front door. I set my things down and left to open the door.

On the other side stood a tall brunette girl that looked only a few years younger than me. She had the most beautiful emerald green eyes I had ever seen and her hair was up in a high ponytail, two small curls framing her slightly round face. She wore a black tank top under a green sweater with sleeves that hung off her shoulders with dark grey jeans and brown leather boots that came to just under her knees.

"I'm sorry but we're closed," I told her politely.

"I know, I just came back to find my purse," She replied.

I remembered then that we had put a purse behind the bar counter after people started leaving.

"There is one back behind the bar, I bet it's probably yours."

She followed me across the room to the bar where I slipped through the swinging door on the side. As I made my way to the end of the bar where I had stored her purse I continued to stare at her, admiring the soft curls in her hair and brightness of her emerald green eyes as they watched me anxiously. She truly was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I pulled out the small brown purse and held it up for her to see.

"Is this it?" I asked.

"Yes, thank you so much!" She said as she reached her hand out for it. I was about to hand it over when a sudden bold thought came to my mind. I pulled the purse away earning me an apprehensive look from the brunette.

"I will only give this back on one condition?" I said in a teasing manner, a playful grin forming on my face.

Her eyebrows furrowed together and she shifted her weight to one leg, putting a hand on her hip. "Excuse me?" She said demandingly.

"Dance with me," I said.

"I thought you were closed?"

"We are."

After a moment a grin of her own showed itself as she walked out to the middle of the dance floor to wait for me. I rounded the corner of the counter and quickly walked over to meet her. Jadeite and Zoisite seemed to get the hint and had made their way to the back room.

She reached her hands up and placed them around my shoulders while I cautiously placed my hands on either side of her waist.

"So what's your name?" She asked.

"Nephrite, and yours?"

"Makoto."

"Makoto," I repeated, liking the sound of it.

"So do you normally hold purses hostage as a pick up line?" she asked with a smirk. Those emerald eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of something I couldn't quite place. I chuckled softly we moved around in slow circles.

"No not usually," I replied.

"Why did you ask for a dance?" she asked another question.

"Who wouldn't want to dance with a girl so beautiful?" I answered simply.

"Well thanks I guess," she laughed.

We turned around for a little while on the hardwood floor of the club. She let me guide her around and when I took her hand and lifted it up she spun around and laughed a little more.

"I have to admit I feel a little silly," she said as we came to a stop.

"I don't."

She look at me with quizzically for a moment, her eyebrows furrowed, head tilted slightly to the left. Wordlessly I returned to the counter of the bar and handed her the purse.

"Thank you," she said as she tossed the strap of the purse around her neck.

"Thank you, Makoto."

She opened the purse and rummaged around until she pulled out a piece of scrap paper and a pen. She quickly scribbled something on the paper and folded it up before offering it to me.

"This was actually kind of nice, I'd like to do it again sometime," She said as I took the paper which I assumed contained her phone number.

"I would like that," I said as I put the paper in the front pocket of my shirt.

"Well, when you've got the time, you now know how to find me," she grinned and turned to walk out of the bar.

"Expect to hear from me soon then," I called as she walked out the door.

"That was a slightly unorthodox way of picking up a woman," Kunzite said. He was leaning against the counter, looking at me with an amused smirk.

"That may be but It worked," I smirked back, taking the paper back out of my pocket.

"That it did."

Thanks for reading! This story is a cute little thing that I started and at first I was planning on it being a one-shot but I think I want it to be more than that. So while I figure out how I want chapter 2 to go leave me some comments and reviews so that I know you guys liked it! And sorry if any of the paragraph spacing is off! When I posted the story it changed my format a little and I haven't been able to fix it the way I want.
