You couldn't ask for a finer paradise on a Saturday night. A club down by the docks that was more alluring than the swaying, flowing beauties inside. The bright boney strobe fish sign a calming arrow pointing where the treasure was at. Calling all in who are adventuring the nightlife for one helluva show. It's mysterious neon, almost argon smokey lighting dancing around like electricity in glass tubes to the desired color of the club's mood.
A palace of beauty to every nook and walkway, an artist would see the scale at which the place is every bit what it should be from the foundation-up.
But still, if at all possible, notice might be taken to a lacking quality, trait, attribute. The edifice that excells at setting the bar with the very strength and soul that got it where it was. So why not set a whole new bar and reach it's limits before starting on a whole new one.
The place was a marvel, but it could very well be much more, with a spark of high voltage juuuuust right. And luckily, that's what was walking it's way to the club, high voltage. The coolest looking buck the night is likely to spotlight the moon with and sparkle the stars upon. Sporting a variety of the definition being 1 Moderately cold. And 7 Very good.
The man with his own slant, from an impressive hair day's composure down to pointy black leather boots, demanding of his profession. He'd call his getup a "half-suit." Ties might have been bought here and there over the years, but they would always sink into a permanent hibernation deep within his wardrobe. A pearly white longsleeve buttonshirt, with a majestic neck collar fanned out over the black vest same with the cuffs. A gorgeous and sexy contrast to the man's appearance. A dark tan visible on his face, down to his slightly exposed neck where he kept two buttons undone where your regular man would have all done but the top one. His desert-tanned hands unpocketed and mediating with the cool air, venting up at that front door. Chilly-looking blue banger jeans, white shredding from knees up to near hips. He grinned up to the bouncers and with his capabilities and all around natural gift it was hard for it not to be flirty. Tapping a kitty-cat shaped key to his cheek and then letting that marinate while they looked him over. The looked less obligated to block his way that was for sure.
He walked gallantly between them, patting one on the shoulder while passing, the cool air with him, and that white cuff of his shirt sticking out from the black suit vest's sleeve, unbuttoned even, the bouncer sarcastically nodded with a frown, getting back to his watch.
The place was magic inside, and he felt it multiplied hundreds of times over with his entrance. There was a stage set so close in his sights, lights on it ever-so gently. His walk was a strut of "something else." And those boots let those around him know a "good-looking" was on the prowl.
He approached the bar, and a bit of soft talking was distinguishable to the bartender and the man. Grins, a bit of laughing, and there was a handshake! A little more talking and the bartender nodded. The hunk-a-man turned and put his presence and smile around some more of the room now straight to a path where the light was weak, a black stool was secluded, systems setup, and a gorgeous white solidbody six-string awaited company.
Boots up on that stage, and people seemed to grin expecting something out of this world, and he smiled as if he carried just that on his shoulders confidently. Those boots up on two side-by-side stool pegs, where rocker pantlegs nobily kept what needed exposed. His gorgeous well-dressed arms draped over that mirrorized white body of mahogany reflecting faint lights, making a cloudly purple and such here and there, all in the right lighting. He kept this inadvertently sexy pose while waiting on the current show to subside, and things grew quiet, the bartender cupping the side of his mouth and telling everyone to get settled in and give a big hand for the musical talent of "Darkkar."
A clap that got him grinning, and looking down in aknowledgement to the crowd, and his smile his first reward to them. The special lights were brought out where the regular ones dimmed down. And he positioned his fingers to the fingerboard in a way that looked genuine to him. And the right hand sweeped down gently, introducing the newfound music to the Alley Cat Club.

The lights went down. The stage lit up. And as the first notes eased out into the room the foxling breezed onto the stage. The music, sexy as smoke, inspired movement. Red leather stiletto heeled sandals seem to glide across the black painted face of the stage, catching the eye first. The next few beats draw the eyes up from the sandals to long legs lovingly hugged by laced red leather leggings. Each of the dancers movements are calculated to draw the eye higher, a sway of hips, a toss of shoulders, a dip of cotton candy colored curls.

The devil was in the music and the foxling was the devil. The images that Dark painted with his music leap to life through Shey's dancing making for pure magic for viewer and listener.

The last notes faded, the foxling sweeping into a low bow for the audience, black wings flared in a climax of showmanship. Flushed with excitement fever bright violet eyes seek out the musician. What a way to begin a partnership.

The night was young, filled with the chattering voices of mostly men who came to watch the excitement, listen to the music, and enjoy the atmosphere of the club. She had just made her way up the path for the second time in the day..this time to start her training as a "Kitten." A nervous little knot was tied tightly in her stomach, which was unusual for someone like her to expierience such feelings. Stepping into the Club she looked around, her eyes could only gleam at the dimmed lights and the people who looked to her the moment she came in. Closing the door softly behind her she quickly made her way to the back, hanging her coat up along the way.

She was handed her uniform and told to change into it. A grasp upon the clothing as she made her way to the female's changing room closing the door laying the clothing across a chair. Stripping herself of her own clothing she grabbed the outfit and slipped it on, tieing it up in the back, pushing the heeled shoes upon her feet. She had curled her hair for today and put it up into a high pony tail, just incase her heels would decide to step on her extremely long hair. She wasn't one to ever wear makeup for she always thought the beauty came from the inside, but just couldn't resist. She grabbed the pinkish lipstick smoothing it across her lips and looked to the lightly colored eyeshadows. Using an applyer to press the shadow on her lids, she grabbed a brush pushing it into some nicely skin colored blush letting it graze her cheeks. A little make-up made the already dolled up girl look beautiful. She looked into the mirror and blushed deeply, never seeing herself like this before. She took a deep breath and let the heels of her shoes click across the floor as she made it out of the dressing room.

Into the front she went, a little pen and pad of paper tightly gripped in her hand. Sure, she had a good memory of what to bring people, but on her first night she didn't want to screw anyone's orders up to create a disaster for herself. Standing infront of the bar awaiting to be told what to do She listened to the bartender call out the name Darkkar and could only smile. At least she had someone to look foward to this night. She clapped her hands for him, not to loud trying not to make herself noticed in the darker part of the bar. She watched him come onto the stage almost flawlessly..the most confidence she had ever seen in a person for playing infront of a small crowd. Hearing a note strum gave her a peace of mind..his music always did. Clasping her hands infront of her over her pad of paper she watched the stage as the lights dimmed and the foxling emerged on stage.

Sheyleigh looked wonderful up on stage dancing so gracefully, her body moving with such flexibility it could only make her envious of the moves she was putting out there on stage. A large smile still stayed upon her face for her though..both her and Dark were putting on an amazing performance without any hesitation. They wern't nervous, so why should she be? She looked over to a table of men sitting there with empty glasses who were calling the word "Kitten" and looked directly in her direction. Turning her head she looked around and took a deep breath stepping her way over to them with a bright smile already placing the pencil down to the pad of paper. After all..she couldn't let the Club have dissatisfied customers. The Knot in her stomach seemed to loosen as she had a feeling that she was going to feel right at home here.

Nodding his head left and right, walking on his way out of his shop. All his projects complete now except for one black Dean Caddy "BRL" work awaiting being done. He continued nodding his head as he turned around, having forgotten something, snatching a bottle opener necklace off a nail and twirling it on his fingers before he put the thing around his neck.

An identical getup as his last performance. A bright yellow longsleeve dress shirt, only three buttons connecting it and they'd be at the bottom. His dark chest blending with the shirt and there of course shone that keychain. A black suitvest over that, yellow cuffs sticking out from the vest sleeves just slightly. His pants? White jeans snug to his figure, and they'd be stained with paint and shredded in all the right places. The wear of a rocker, the taint of a day painting. Genuine, too many people bought shredded jeans, Dark brought that wear 'n tear on himself.

Walking out into the cold night air, tugging his shop gate down behind him like a simple garage door. His hair was sleek and like a shark's fin tonight. Walking a powerful stride to the club, but something was up. What was this? Dark stood as far as he could, still on the docks, the club in sight but a long way's a way, a huge mob between him and the club. They were all men, a few women here and there, some with the men, some there with friends, some there alone, all of them there for the same reason.

Dark grabbed a man's shoulder and turned him gently to face him, "Eyy, what's going on out here?!" he had to yell almost to be heard over the bouncing crowd.

The kid was excited as could be, "Yo man! Didn't you hear? This place is the place to be at night!! Everybody said the show is AWESOME! The women are off the chain and the place has this new siick musician!!" yelling and bouncing on his heels a few bounds before his friend ran up to him.

"Hey, hey!! this is the guy!! This is the shredder!!!" He yelled loud enough for the mob to spread that knowledge and dozens of hands reaching out and grabbing Dark's arms just in time for him to push on his bright chrome/blue and black iridium sunglasses and putting his smile on for everyone. They were even EARLY!!

Big cheers, and then he got inside the place, the bouncers saw him through and the crowd outside cheered more. The place was packed, not even room to stand still without bumping into an elbow. Dark was irrelevant now, things seemed planned now, maybe something he wasn't prepared for.

"SHOW!!"
"SHOW!!"
"SHOW!!"
"SHOW!!"

They cheered with fists in the air towards two points. Two stages. Dark thought he got the idea, and if he didn't, it was just an experiment anyway. Looking left and right through sunglasses no one could see his gaze in, just his smile. He walked a paved way to his stage, and stepped up with black leather rocker boots. Pinching out his shirt to expose some chest and keep him cool while he got situated. A cluster of bangs over his forehead in a series of sharp swerves, shining from the light above that also blurred shadows upon his glasses, giving him blue and black smokey lenses, that glew, showed the musician on his stool but no eyes. Just a shiny necklace, hair, sunglasses (at night), and now his Paul Stanley 9200 washburn on his lap.

The screech of the amp coming on and one final blazing roar from inside and outside. One look at the crowd and he pumped it up as loud as he could, and fingered his glasses up the highest point to the bridge of his nose.

"Let's see some magic babe..." a whisper to himself looking after that stage. Everything had gotten quiet, it was time to please now. This huge turnup was demanding.

The fastest fingers in Rhydin! Blazing on that fingerboard in an appetizer, an intro. Catchy to some, warming others up. It toned down, with that electronic glory that rippled out for what seemed like it could be miles if you had the fine enough hearing to listen to it fade completely. Santana meets Batio in this sound and finger-flying madness, complete with the love and spine-tingling magic in every single note. Everyone was bouncing inside and out.

His head down seeming to look directly at the centerpoint of his instrument, those icy shades glowing in the darkness and dim lighting of the stage and things got quiet, the playing got stronger, not fast mind you, no that just got the crowd stimulated. The silence got them ready for the real show. His fingers with limitless stamina, dark fingers covering up the glow on that rosewood fingerboard everywhere they graced it. The most delicate of delicate and intimate of intimate pressings got the sweetest melody out, BRAND NEW to the ears of existence, straight out of Dark's songwriting mind.

But that wasn't what the crowd was cheering for... It was for the sexy figure that just stepped out on stage. Eye-jerking heels as she walked out, and simply shone to a club overflowing with fans. Waiting to see the duo musician and dancer that got the rep going without even labeling themselves as such, just putting on the show and it being what it was naturally.

He was playing two frequencies. 1) was especially written none other than 'Shey's introduction.' just for her to slowly move out and begin the crowd's drooling. Lights up on her, but even more eyes, all of it together lighting her up. And 2) He'd had his introduction and blazing moment, everyone outside knew the foxling must've been on stage now, just a few sharp whistles and claps now and no ballistic cheering. Soft guitar strings making it a wonderful piece for her to make herself known with. And believe it or not, standing equivalent with each other was a challenge for both.
Finally picking up the melody, surprising the crowd, but Dark and Shey looked like they've had hours of rehearsal in, cause they blew away the crowd. Her hips swaying quickly to energy and a shifting gear, not blazing speeds. But it was racy that was impossible to miss. Her wrists together up over her head and the backs of her hands facing each other to project the true capabilities of a purist dancer.

Beam down, smooth again, her dancing easing, the pack's attention going from Shey to Dark, from Dark to Shey, each with permanent spectators of admiration. The crowd watching her move across that stage like one fluid performance. Creating a longing and wanting effect with her moves, drawing the eyes, thus the dancer's goal so much more than done. And over to Dark, men and women examining his fingers, wondering how those sounds were coming out of the instrument the way they were. It was mind-boggling.
One final lift, their impressive climax. Shey's eyes were on her own hips, watching them match Dark's music. Something about a flawless dancer watching her own hips that really got the crowd all googly-eyed. And beats skipped, the music randomized into a finale of only a few remaining chords, Shey matched and they both froze in sexy poses to the finish! Hand up in the air holding his pick and Shey's hips swung out frozen to one side and both their hands aimed to each other.

The crowd went nuts, all the way out to the docks. And Dark looked around, clapping as well for Shey. But she was off the stage, already? Dark looked back to the screaming fans grabbing at him and cradling him down and out the front door beside Shey to be center to the entire crowd. They both looked different ways, marveling the turnup, everyone was in a magical mood. And then Dark looked to Shey through those lenses and smiled, she was doing the same. They both seemed to have the same thing in their mind.

Her left hand found his right, or was it his that found hers? Impossible to tell. But they held hands, and smiled, nodding in readyness to each other and then lifting the hands in the air for each other, and the crowd went nuts! His guitar was up in his left hand held up high to show the crowd, and they both took a mighty bow.

A single saltwater tear collected behind his shades, and just lingered there as he looked over to Shey and smiled.

"We've gotta install speakers outside..."

Monday night magic, the lights went down the stage lit up, to reveal a seated figure center stage a guitar on his lap. The regulars at the alley cat club thought this a little strange, usually Darkkar sat off to the side and let the dancer take pride of place. Tonight the thought, must be something very special.

The first notes drifted out across the crowded room steamy and sensual, and a second spot fixed on the backstage entrance, the audience expected flash and bang from the foxling, an aggressive attack on the senses. Tonight though was a departure. A slow sensual burn, hips swaying gently to reveal her burgeoning belly. Instead of the normal dancers costume tonight she wore a pair of cartoon dragon boxes, and an artfully cut man's shirt. The attire just screamed that tonight would be a dance for lovers.

And in her hand, clasped lovingly to her chest, a microphone. Never before had Sheyleigh done more than danced for the crowd. They were transfixed as she made her way across the stage.

The air between the foxling and her musician was positively electric when she stopped before him, only just out of touching range and extended her fingers as if to caress his cheek. The notes seemed to wrap around her swaying form, as Dark eased into the one song she had requested that night. The microphone was raised to crimson painted lips, and softly eased out the lyric to match the melody.

"Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah
My heart cries out to your heart
I'm lonely but you can save me
My hand reaches out for your hand
I'm cold but you light the fire in me
My lips search for your lips
I'm hungry for your touch
There's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment just surrender"

"And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much"
(Oooh yes it hurts)
"And pain is so close to pleasure
And all I can do is surrender to your love"
(Just surrender to your love)
"Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you
I'm falling apart all around you
And all I can do is surrender"

A lovers dance, the foxling's eyes never leaving her mans. The final notes eased into another steamy love song, one of the backup singers eased out on stage and took the microphone. And the rest of the set Sheyleigh danced only for Dark, every movement instinctively drawing attention to their growing child, the physical proof of their very real and intense love affair.

The audience came away that night in awe, several of them in tears. There was something so intensely romantic about the pregnant woman dancing her heart out for the father of her child that touched even those curiosity seekers who just came hoping for a raunchy show. Every one of them came back the next night hoping for more. It was magic of the most elemental kind and they felt honored to be allowed to watch.

Those that returned a few nights later to find on the playbill in the lobby stating that the foxling would be taking a vacation until after the baby came, actually cried from a sense of loss.
