Kei�s Vices

I: This is Kei:

Yamaguchi Kei is now twenty-one years old and is the president of 9 Records. Must be exciting to have all of that power. Yet, there are a few hang-ups in her life because of it. Despite having the freedom, power, money, and loving boyfriend, her taste for the wild life has really exploded. So much so that it seems to have spun out of control by this point. Her friends want her to stop, but they don�t know how to get her to. It�s better to get to know her a little bit more before passing some sort of judgment. Well, Kei�s an offered of five different vices.

II: Drinking:

This one isn�t really a new one. Kei did fancy alcopops from a young age. Now that she can legally drink, she�s gone onto higher levels of booze. Her drink of choice? Star Punch mix, of course. This little baby is a mix of fruit juice, sake, vodka, rum, and lemons. She downs in like mother�s milk. Simon is never really sure about this.

�Don�t you think you�re drinking too much?� he asked one evening while out on the town with her. Kei looked over at him, grinning.

�Hell no!� she called out. The woman stuck her arm up in the air.

�Bar tender!� she yelled. �Give me another!� The bar tender served her more vodka right away. Kei drank that up in a flash. Simon sat there, nervously.

I probably should say something, he thought. The man just didn�t have the right words in mind.

Never the less, he ended up carrying her home.

III: Partying:

Vice number one lead over to vice number two.

Kei was rarely ever home at night. Party, party, party for her, please? Every club in Tokyo knew who she was in a short amount of time. Her friends couldn�t really complain there; they partied out as much as she did. However, there has to be limits. As it can be seen with Kei�

�Baby, can�t we have nice night in?� Conrad asked. Kei put her lipstick on in the mirror.

�No way!� she said. She straightened up her hair and turned to him.

�You coming with me?� the woman asked. Her boyfriend shook his head.

�Nah,� he said. �I�m staying in tonight.� Kei only shrugged at him.

�Your loss,� she said. Then, she headed out the door. That�s how most of her nights ended up lately. Kei found herself out on the town all alone. It didn�t bother her at first, but then she wanted another thrill attached to it.

IV: Sex:

The second vice led to her third vice.

Kei would usually be bored at the bar when some handsome stranger would walk up to her and offer to buy her drink. Looking for attention, she happily accepted. Soon, they would get to talking. This stranger would be groping on her thigh. One thing led to another from there. Pretty soon, she and the attractive stranger would go out to a love hotel or his car for sex.

This hasn�t happened the first time.

It�s safe to say that Kei�s on the fast track to becoming a sex addict. Lucky for her, none of her friends haven�t found this little habit out yet. But, how long will that last her?

V: Boredom:

The first three vices let to the fourth one.

Kei has an amazing career as the president of 9 Records. Her father left the company to her after his death. Now, all she does is sign on new acts and paperwork. Lately, business has been a little slow. Kei slumped over her desk. Even her wild nights are starting to lose their appeal. The woman leaned back in her chair and groaned.

This is crap!, she thought. I want something exciting to happen!

Maybe something will come to her, she hoped. It probably will, just not in the way that she wished for.

VI: Smoking:

This one is more of shared vice.

Kei and Conrad had been smoking since the middle of their junior year in high school. They have been trying to stop. At least, that�s what they have been telling their therapist and everyone else around them.

Truth was, the couple were still smoking and keeping it from everyone, including each other. They would try and sneak off for a quick smoke when they sure that they were all alone. Kei and Conrad had become so good with lying about it and hiding it.

But again, how long will that last?

VII: Somebody Stop Her:

Kei knows that she has a problem, but yet she doesn�t want to stop. So, why does she does do this?

�I do this just to feel alive,� she explained away to everyone around her. It may sound sad, but that line of thinking is more common than everyone would think. However, something will have to get in this case.

VIII: Bad Habits:

Speeding down the fast lane without a seatbelt. It might seem fun and thrilling at first, but eventually the driver will crash. Kei will find herself seeing that really soon.
