As the light shined into his room, Yu's head began pounding violently. "Ow…" He looked beside him near the edge of his bed. In his hand barely hanging on was an empty bottle of sake. He looked over at the clock: 13:23. He'd slept half the day away.

As he attempted to sit up, something tightened around his waist. He looked over, a look of shock hitting him hard at the sight: It was Rise passed out and only wearing her bra and panties with a chop stick in her hair.

What made matters worse was the specifics about the chop stick: It had a red dot on it.

This meant only one thing: they played the King's Game last night.

"What the hell happened last night..?"

After spending a few seconds sneaking away from the sleeping Rise, Yu forced himself up. His head still felt like it was about to explode and his vision blurred a bit from it. He felt like he was about to throw up, but he held it together, forcing himself out of the room.

As he inched down the stairs, he tried his hardest to remember everything.

Despite his efforts, though, the night before was a total blur. All he could remember was the week before.

They had beaten down on Adachi and stopped the murders and the bizarre fog from enveloping the town. All was peaceful and, with Nanako and Dojima both still in the hospital resting, they had decided to throw a party-

His eyes got wide as he remembered what happened next, his head throbbing violently at the thought. That was when the liquor became involved. He remembered someone pulling out the sake, but even with this revelation, he couldn't remember who brought it out. Hell, he couldn't even remember where the stuff came from.

"If it was Dojima's, I'm dead…"

Finally, he reached the bottom of the stairs, heading straight for the bathroom with the meds. He pulled out a small bottle and took several of the small pills used to get rid of hangovers.

Yu turned around, heading towards the kitchen to grab something to drink. As he did, he seen a sight that stopped him in his tracks.

The house wasn't in horrible shape, but it still looked ridiculous. The table was flipped on its side, empty liquor bottles scattered across the floor. There weren't many bottles, but there were enough for eight lightweight teenagers to easily get drunk off of. There were five on the living room floor: rum, tequila, vodka and two bottles of sake. Including the bottle he had in his room, Yu counted six bottles total.

Yeah, more than enough…

That was when he caught sight of the second of his friends, Yosuke, sprawled across his couch, a pillow over his head to block out the sun that was shining onto where his face would be. He was muttering under his breath, the words barely audible.

"Yosuke..?"

"Yeah..?" His head was still buried under the pillow.

"What happened last night..?"

Yosuke propped the pillow so his eyes were covered but his mouth was showing. "What do you think, man?" He pointed at the floor where he assumed a bottle would be.

"I mean, what do you remember..?"

Yosuke started speaking, but his words were cut short by a sharp pain in his head. His exact sentence sounded slightly like this: "Do you really th- Oowwww!"

Yu didn't even wait for Yosuke's painful scream to die down before heading to the bathroom for more hangover pills for him. It's a good thing Dojima was always ready for a drunken night and a horrible morning otherwise they would've died, or at least felt like it.

A few minutes after Yosuke took the pills, he finally uncovered his head. Both eyes were bloodshot and one of them looked like it took a nasty punch. Yu didn't even need to ask. "No, I don't remember what happened." Yosuke then asked a question that caught Yu off guard: "Dude, where are your clothes?"

That was the first time Yu had really thought about what he was wearing. He looked down, noticing he was only wearing a pair of white boxers covered in pink polka dots. Normally he'd be embarrassed, but right now he didn't care too much.

He then heard Yosuke snicker. "Nice, dude…"

Yu then hit him violently in the head with a pillow, making Yosuke whimper and fall over from the pain.

Yu then looked around, catching a small look of confusion from Yosuke. "Yosuke, where is everyone?"

The memory then clicked in both of their minds. Everyone was at the party: Chie, Yukiko, Naoto, Kanji and Teddie were all there too.

"Yosuke, you look for Chie, Kanji and Teddie. I'll look for Naoto and Yukiko."

"Sounds good- Wait, what about Rise?"

This thought made Yu's face glow red for a second. "She's upstairs…"

It took Yosuke a few seconds to realize what Yu meant by upstairs, then he smiled a stupid smile. "Nice!"

"Shut up and start looking."

It didn't take long for them to find the first two. "Uh, dude, you better get in here…"

Yu went to where Yosuke was hollering from. It was Dojima's room. He walked up beside Yosuke and looked into the room. The sight completely made him forget about his hangover.

It was Chie and Yukiko, both missing most of their clothing passed out next to each other.

They both backed out, small nosebleeds affecting them. Yosuke's stupid smile now covered his whole face as he pinched his nose shut. "Holy shit! This is great!"

Yu had already gotten to the bathroom to put toilet paper up in his nostrils and had come back to hear Yosuke's comment. "Um… No comment."

Yosuke's smile soon melted off his face. "Aw, dammit! What if I'm the only one who didn't pair off?!"

This thought made Yu laugh a little on the inside, but he kept his face perfectly serious.
"Don't worry about that now, partner. We still need to find the others-"

"Yu..?"

It was Naoto's voice. The two boys turned around, the sight putting a horrific look on Yosuke's face and a look of a happy surprise on Yu's: It was both Naoto and Rise, both coming down the stairs and in one of Yu's shirts. Rise looked like her head was about to explode. Naoto didn't look as bad, but was still blocking the sun from her eyes.

"Yu, what's going on?"

Yu had to keep himself from smiling as he asked the next question: "Naoto, where did you come from..?"

"Your room, why?"

Yosuke looked at them then back at Yu, who was still holding a smile back. He did this a few times before looking down at the ground. "Dammit!"

It was silent for a few seconds before Rise began blushing. "Yu, where are your pants..s?"
