A/N: So, it's been awhile and I didn't think I'd ever find myself here. Fortunately, I really love this story line and decided to edit this story and possibly others.

'Blessed is what they call me. I'm blessed by the gods, Suijin, Ebisu and Fukurokuju. But, with such luck as mine, I am equally as burdened with misfortune; the result of defying your own "fate" willingly or not. Even the gods themselves cannot prevent this. So tell me, why must you bless me with only a temporary contentment? After all, the three of you had spoken to me with one sole phrase of "I don't know what sorrows will approach you from this day on. May you live your life well."

Funny, I bet none of you were expecting this again.'

"Mai, why'd you bring this one here?"

"What's so wrong with Midori being here, Natsuki?" said Mai averting her eyes over to the red headed being in the back of the room. She seemed fine, right?

"I have nothing against her, get that straight. The thing is, everytime she's with us she can't be without a drink in her hand. What's worse is she makes everyone else have some too. You know that I despise drinking. Look; she's already buzzed!" That being said, everyone had at least one.

Seeing Natsuki's frustration, the carrot topped individual turned again. Not even surprised at the sight, Midori was already a few beers in her system. They hadn't been there too long. "I see your point…" a sweat drop slowly descending upon her forehead—it was no use trying to debate over making her actually stay. "Well, could you stay here just a bit longer?"

"No."

"Come' on just a little more won't hurt…huh? Natsuki?"

"See you later, Mai!" She said already out the door, trench coat within grasp.

'What else am I to do? It's not like I want to be there, so why not leave while I have the chance?'

Unpaved roads meant peace for the young Kuga. Nothing to keep her alert, excluding passing cars or anything of the like. She spotted what she thought to be headlights, fairly far down the road. They seemed a bit high up, a truck, maybe? Again, they were still far from her; a few minutes, if she had to guess. She was starting to get the impression that Midori's so called "fun" had gotten to her head. It was only a small dose of alcohol, too… 'oh the disadvantages of being a lightweight…'

"I should pull over…just for a bit. I'll call Mai to pick me up." Said the blue haired maiden, jerking to a path she found very familiar.

'So they never ended up fixing the railing, huh? Really, that's the least they could have done…Come' on Kuga, just call Mai and get this over with' Digging her hand into her pocket, she couldn't seem to find my phone. How difficult can something so simple be?

"Ara, are you looking for this?"

"…What exactly did Midori give me tonight? It has driven me delusional…"

"That's not very nice, Natsuki-chan. I asked you a question and you ignored me."

"Wha-?!"

'Headlights...'
