Sake at Rosie's

 

As the group stumbled through the lighted city of Tokyo, they tried to keep up with Yuusuke and Kuwabara. The morons were the only ones who knew where this place was.

“So, Yuusuke, who was it that you tied up?” Angel questioned, having thought about it for a while.

“Koenma,” the detective answered nonchalantly.

“He is sooo gunna kick yer ass,” Osadyro laughed.

“So that's what the duct tape was for,” Darkfire added.

“Well, we couldn't have him yellin' and screamin', now could we?”

“Yea, and we put up a `Do Not Disturb' sign so no one would happen upon him,” Kuwabara snickered. “Well, this is it.”

All stopped and looked at a great big sign.

“Interesting,” Kurama smirked, his eyes flashing again.

Hiei simply rolled his eyes and followed the rest of the group.

“If ya wanna drink, the bar's over there,” Yuusuke yelled over the music, pointing to the right. And then he disappeared into the crowd with Kuwabara. Angel followed hesitantly, Osadyro right on his tail, just in case. Darkfire, Kurama, and Hiei made their way over to the bar.

“What can I get y'all?” the barkeep said gruffly, leaning on the bar top.

“Sake, three cups please,” Kurama answered, pulling out some money. The tender took it and came back with a list of sake names. Kurama pointed to one and winked.

“Kurama, what's the third cup for?” Darkfire asked.

“You, of course.”

“I don't drink sake.”

“You do tonight!”

Sighing, Darkfire watched the barkeep move about behind the bar. She wondered why Kurama had been acting so weird since Yuusuke mentioned the club. And then she wondered why he had winked at the bartender when he picked out a brand of sake. She had never seen Kurama wink before.

“Here y'are,” the bartender said, setting a bottle of sake and three cups in front of Kurama.

“Doumo,” Kurama smiled. Then, turning to Darkfire and Hiei, he said, “We're gunna play a drinking game.”

`Gunna'? Kurama never said `gunna'.

Hiei sighed and rolled his eyes. “You're losing it, Kurama.”

“No, I'm gettin' it back.”

Kurama never said `gettin'' either. He never cut the ending off words.

“What kinda drinkin' game?” Darkfire asked hesitantly.

“See who can keep his, or her, liquor.” He gave a Yuusuke/Kuwabara grin.

“But I don't like sake! `Sides, I'm too young!”

“Nonsense!” He poured the sake and passed out the cups. “Ready? Drink!”

Hiei and Kurama downed theirs easily. Closing her eyes, Darkfire swallowed the vile substance. And then she almost gagged.

“Disgusting,” she mumbled, passing her cup back to Kurama. “Hit me again.”

“You're very strange,” Hiei smirked, also giving Kurama his cup.

“No way I'm losing to a couple demons.” She grinned, trying to hide the fact she felt like hurling.

“Drink!” Kurama laughed, gulping his sake.

Hiei and Darkfire downed theirs at the same time, though Hiei took his much better.

“Dance with me, Osa,” Angel laughed, pulling at the girl's hands.

“I don' wanna!” she protested.

“I do! C'mon, it'll be fun! Dance one song with me and I'll leave ya alone for the rest of the night!”

“Fine, but just one!”

Laughing, Angel pulled Osadyro out into the crowd. As they danced, they would catch a glimpse of Urameshi or Kuwabara every now and then with some girl. But they didn't care. They laughed and danced.

The song ended and another came on, but Osadyro didn't leave. So the two just danced and danced, having the time of their lives.

“Whadya s'pose Darkfire's up to?” Osadyro asked after the third or fourth song.

“Dunno,” Angel answered. “I think she's over at the bar with Kurama and Hiei, though.”

“Wanna see what they're up to?”

“Not really.”

“It's been more than one dance, I'm gunna go look for her.” As Osadyro pushed her way through the dance floor, Angel followed closely. When they got out of the mess, Osadyro spotted her friend and rushed up.

“Drin'!” Kurama laughed, gulping his drink. Hiei and Darkfire drank and then slammed their cups down. All three laughed.

“Darkfire?” Osadyro said, tapping her friend's shoulder.

Darkfire turned and smiled stupidly. “Osa! Came all here ta whoosh an' ya come `ere ta watch meh go sloosh!”

“Huh?” Angel cocked an eyebrow. And then he laughed, “She's drunk as a skunk!”

“After `bout the ten, it don' taste sa bad,” Darkfire laughed, nearly falling off her stool.

“Drin',” Hiei smiled, tapping Darkfire's shoulder.

“Ahaha!” All three gulped down the sake and then laughed. “Da game be never end!”

The barkeep laughed heartily, wiping the counter. “That be their fiftieth, I do believe.”

“Fifty!” Osadyro and Angel shouted together.

“Yea. `Parently they can all hold they liquor!” He laughed again and the drunken fools downed another round. “Second bottle, too.”

“What's goin' on?” Yuusuke laughed, coming up and sitting beside Kurama.

“Da game ta drink an' not die!” Kurama answered, cracking up. “Ya missed best part! Derfire spit it ou' `er nose!”

“It true!” Hiei coughed, choking on his laughter.

“I didn't know Hiei could get drunk,” Kuwabara snickered, sitting beside Darkfire.

“Naw, ain't drunk!” Hiei protested, still laughing.

Yuusuke looked at the bottle and laughed. “Seems whoever ordered really wanted to have a good time!”

“Be me! Youko say, `Or'er da damn bottle!' So I or'er da damn bottle,” Kurama chuckled, pouring another round. “Drin'!” And the three drank. Then Kurama fell off his stool and stayed off.

“K'rama's out!” Darkfire laughed, holding onto the bar for dear life.

“Yer nex',” Hiei said, attempting to pour the next round. But he couldn't decide which cup was his. “Why I got t'ree cups?”

Yuusuke guided the bottle to the rim of the only cup he could see.

“Ah, da mid one,” Hiei said triumphantly, overflowing the cup.

“Let me pour,” Yuusuke laughed, taking the bottle. He poured Darkfire's and the two drank. “The bottle's done, guys. I think you've had enough.”

“Hiei still dere!” Darkfire proclaimed, pointing at a Hiei; there were three and she just picked one. Granted it wasn't the right one, but it was still a Hiei.

“Yesh, and Derfire's still sittin' dere!” Hiei snickered, grabbing the bar.

“Then see which one of you can stand up without falling,” Kuwabara suggested, enjoying himself.

The drunks nodded and slid from their stools, holding the bar for dear life. The whole time their feet were slipping from beneath them, the idiots laughed. This, of course, made it harder to hold onto the bar.

“Taint losin' ta a demon,” Darkfire laughed.

“An' no human beat me,” Hiei grinned. “Whoo!” He grabbed Yuusuke and they both crashed to the ground.

“I vin!” Darkfire announced, still gripping the bar. “K'rama, up so I get meh prize!”

Angel and Osadyro grabbed Darkfire and helped her sort of stand. Yuusuke grabbed Hiei and Kuwabara took Kurama. When they finally made it out of the club, they rounded to corner into an alley.

“Know, I cain't feel meh legs,” Darkfire murmured, poking her thigh.

“No way we're gettin' these drunk fools home while they're walking,” Yuusuke said, slapping Hiei's hand away from his leg. “Touch me and I swear you're dead,” he threatened.

Hiei just laughed and fell over.

“Can you carry her?” Yuusuke asked Angel, glancing at Darkfire, who was still poking her legs.

“I can…” Angel answered. He didn't want to, but he didn't want to think what Osadyro would do to him if he didn't.

“Good. I can get Hiei, and Kuwabara can handle Kurama.” Crouching down in front of Hiei, he said, “Get on, you drunk midget.”

Laughing, Hiei wrapped his arms around Yuusuke's neck and wrapped his legs around the man's waist. Kuwabara scooped up Kurama in a sloppy bridal style, and Angel helped Darkfire on in the same manner Yuusuke had Hiei.

“When we find a darker alley, I'll call Botan for a portal.”

~*~

By the time they got back to the palace, Darkfire and Hiei were out cold and everyone was tired. So they pulled out some futons from the living room's closet and scattered them where they'd fit. Of course, only five would fit.

“I ain't sharin' with any of those drunk idiots,” Yuusuke growled. “'Specially Hiei, he'll try `n' grope me in the night.”

Kuwabara burst into a fit of laughter.

“You do it then, mister macho.”

“As if,” the orange haired man snapped, resting Kurama on a futon.

Angel laid Darkfire down on a futon on one end of the room and then he went to the other side. “I'll sleep here.”

Kuwabara laid on the one in front of the couch and was out in an instant.

“I call that last bed,” Yuusuke yawned. And then a smile crept on his face. “Pick a bed, Osa.”

“Well, I don't trust none y'all. I'll just sleep on the couch,” the female sniffed, stretching in a cat-like manner.

“Guess that means Hiei gets to share a bed,” Yuusuke snickered, looking about the room. His eyes rested on Darkfire. “That'll work nicely.” He crept over to the sleeping girl and laid Hiei beside her. Soon as Yuusuke let go, Darkfire turned over and slid an arm around the demon's waist. “Perfect.”

“She'll kill you in the morning. You know this, right?” Osadyro mused, stretching out on the couch.

Yuusuke put his finger to his lips. “They were so out of it, they won't remember what happened last night. Let's just let their imaginations go nuts for a while.”

Osadyro shook her head and dropped off into a dreamless sleep.

Smiling to himself one last time, Yuusuke drifted to his bed and fell asleep.
