"Ano...." Tohru began, her mind trying to form a coherent thought, but all she could manage after that was a giggle.

"I think she needs more to drink," Hanajima suggested as she downed the rest of her glass. She placed it on the counter in hopes that it might fill itself back up again. Ayame tried not to laugh out loud as he poured more into the cup.

Tohru shook her head. She didn't need any more to drink, at least not yet. But she was starting to get hungry. She opened her mouth to speak again when a loud stomping noise stopped her.

Kyo's entrance took everyone's attention from the question at hand. He stomped down the stairs like a madman and walked into the kitchen. His hands were on his hips, his eyes blazing in an unspoken challenge. Standing in the doorway, he laughed haughtily.

"I want in on your game," he stated, eyes glaring at Uo.

Uo merely laughed.

"But of course," Ayame said, making a grand gesture with his free arm. He handed Torhu another cup, in which she muttered a tiny "arigato".

"But Kyo-kun, you have no idea what is at stake," Shigure said with a mock frown. He was actually very excited about this game, and picturing Kyo in the maid uniform, while not exactly pleasing, was a hilarious jest.

"I don't care, as long as I beat HER." Kyo pointed to Uo.

The girl snickered. "You couldn't win against me to save you life."

"We'll see about that."

"All right then," Ayame spoke up. "Since we're all in, what are we playing?"

"Wait! Gomen, Aya, but I'd like to play too!" Ritsu appeared in the doorway, fully dressed. He looked shyly at the gathered crowd.

Ayame smiled and nodded, waving for Ritsu to join them. "Of course, Ri-chan! Of course you can play!" He looked at Shigure and winked. This was going to get more interesting by the minute.

"Do we have any suggestions for a card game, then?" Shigure asked.
