The doors to the Ahnenerbe were flung open. Many star shaped things of varying colors flooded out onto the streets. The Ahnenerbe was originally a coffee shop, but the strange creatures that ran the place seemed to have greatly remodeled it into a full blown restaurant and even a bar. The new building had two sides. The first was the dining side where many waitresses dressed in various costumes were bustling about tending to their customers.

The second half of the Ahnenerbe contained the entertainment. Pool tables, Arcade games, a stage with a karaoke machine and instruments, even a dance floor. There were tables lining the edge of the entertainment area as well, the dining section was mostly booths. However the entertainment section contained high tables like one would see in a sports bar.

Shiki Brohno entered the Ahnenerbe first dressed as a lawyer. His hair was slicked as far back as it would go and he wore a blue suit.

He was greeted by a girl dressed as a maid. Her short black hair hung to her shoulders and she wore a scowl on her face that would put the God of War to shame. "Welcome. Right this way." She said through gritted teeth.

"Come on. It'll be good for you to get out of the house for once." Shiki pulled Akiha inside who was dressed as a Nekomata, cat ears, whiskers, the whole shebang.

"Nii-san. It is very loud, I am having second thoughts about this." Akiha complained practically having to yell her complaint at Shiki. She hated loud noise, and this was quite possibly the loudest place she had ever been. She looked around cautiously. A horrible noise filled her ears and she looked towards the stage on the opposite side of the door they entered from.

On the stage were three people playing what "should" be death metal. Ilya was on the drums, smashing them wildly like Animal from The Muppets while dressed in a Nazi SS officer uniform. Jamming the guitar surprisingly well was Taiga who was dressed as MC Hammer, except her shiny pants had tiger stripes on them. On the vocals, if they could be called "vocals" was the hulking giant Berserker roaring into the microphone. Berserker seemed to have simply been painted green and was wearing a pair of purple shorts.

"Come on Akiha-sama. Don't be a party pooper!" Kohaku pushed her from behind while dressed in a blue china dress. Hisui followed closely behind dressed like Sherlock Holmes.

"Wait a minute, Shiki!"

"Let me through!"

"Shut up lard ass. I got here first!"

"Hey Seven! Get back here and help me!"

"I'm going ahead, Master!"

Arcueid and Ciel seemed to have gotten stuck in the frame of the door and were now fighting with each other. Arcueid was sporting her Magical Girl persona, while Ciel and Nanako seemed to have just switched clothes.

Shiki and the others were escorted to a large table by the girl in the maid costume that greeted them. At this point most of the restaurants tables had been pushed together to form several very long tables. Shiki sat down and pulled Akiha down next to her, who looked both angry and embarassed.

"Shiki! Gimme another Scotch-hic!" An older looking woman who had her red hair tied into a ponytail hiccuped from across the room.

"Yeah yeah. I got it." The waitress called at her before turning to Shiki and the others before producing some menus from under her arm. She nonchalontly threw them down on the table. "Here. I'll be back, but it's not like I want to take your order or anything." She stomped off.

"Lancer! I need another Scotch!" The girl called to the man in the ponytail tending the bar.

"Comin' right up little lady!" Lancer called back. He grabbed a couple bottles off the wall behind him and started juggling them like he was in the circus.

"Did that lady just call her Shiki?" Shiki asked Kohaku.

Kohaku nodded. "Yeah, I think she did. Strange isn't it?"

Meanwhile, in the Entertainment Section...

"Thank you, goodnight!" Ilya dropped her drumsticks dramatically and hopped off the stage with Berserker and Taiga.

"Well, what did you think Shirou?" Fuji-nee asked.

Shirou was sitting at one of the tables on the edge in between Saber and Rin. Shirou was dressed as a construction worker, complete with a bright yellow hard hat. Rin was Kaleido Ruby, while Saber was dressed in a lion costume. Sakura sat across from them enjoying a sandwich and dressed like Maralyn Monroe.

Shirou scratched the back of his head. "Well it was certainly... um..." He leaned over to Rin and whispered to her. "Help me out here."

"It was a unique sound we've never heard before." Rin said with a smile.

"Hey! That's good right?" Ilya asked Fuji-nee hopefully.

"That's right my pupil! But the night is still young, we'll rock this place out more after we get some food!" Fuji-nee said enthusastically.

At the pool tables Gilgamesh was enjoying a match with Kirei. Behind Gilgamesh ripples in the air formed and dozens of pool sticks began to flow out of them.

"I'm afraid that's against the rules." Kirei glared at Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh laughed. "You fool, I AM the rules!"

Kirei slammed his hand down on the table, causing the balls on it to jump a few centimeters. "I'm telling you, no Noble Phantasms."

"Soichirou-sama! Watch me!" Caster sang as she trotted up the steps on the stage and powered up the karaoke machine. She was dressed as a seductive witch. Skintight, black lace, matching black gloves, and black knee high boots. Topped off with a black pointy hat of course.

Kuzuki watched with curiosity as she flipped through the book, chose a song, and punched in the numbers. Kuzuki was dressed as a teacher, which really wasn't dressing up at all. In fact Caster had dragged him here.

The music came up, the lights dimmed, and a disco ball dropped from the cieling. Caster began tapping her feet to the beat, it was curious since she looked right at home on stage.

"I put a spell on you!" She sang and pointed to Kuzuki. "And now, you're mine!"

"Huh... she's not bad." Rin mumbled as the song went on.

Saber grabbed Shirou's arm. "Shall we dance, Shirou?" She asked, looking rather silly in her costume.

"Hey, I want to dance with Senpai too!" Sakura leaned over the table.

"I'm sitting closer to him, so that means I get the first dance." Rin grabbed Shirou's other arm.

"Wait wait wait all of you... I don't know how to dance..." Shirou complained as he was being tugged in every direction.

Meanwhile in the kitchen...

CRASH! Satsuki tripped and shattered the many plates she was carrying back to be washed.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" A small cat like creature stood with it's hands on it's hips.

"I'm so sorry." Satsuki picked herself up and started to pick up the pieces.

"Jeez, you're so useless nyaa."

"Archer, big order coming up!" Ryougi came into the kitchen and handed a list to Archer in the back who was making the food.

"Thanks." Archer grabbed the list and magnetized it to the stainless steel shelf in front of him so he could look at it at a moment's glance.

"You sure you can get all that?" Ryougi put her hands on her hips, not looking convinced.

Archer chuckled. "Trace, On!" In an instant when he had been bare handed before in his hands he now held a steel spatula and a carving knife. "Do not underestimate a dual wielding technique. I will demonstrate how cooking is really done." He grinned and twirled the cooking utensils in his hands.

"Whatever." Ryougi shrugged and walked off and returned to sit down at the bar in front of Lancer behind the counter who was washing a glass. Next to Ryougi sat a dark colored cat thing smoking a cigar. The one overseeing the things in the kitchen was blonde and wore a skirt. As far as Ryougi could tell there were at least four of these little creatures running around, but it was hard to tell because they all had the same face. It seemed as though they were the actual owners of this place.

"So, how do you find the Ahnenerbe so far miss?" The Neko asked casually.

Ryougi sighed. "I hate this costume." She complained.

The black Neko blew the smoke out of his mouth. "It can't be helped, since you had to provide your own. Why do you wear something you don't like?"

"Hmph, it's not like I picked this out. That woman over there forced it on me." Ryougi pointed to the now drunk Touko across the room who was sitting across from Mikiya and Azaka.

"Hey, it's not so bad. I think it looks pretty good on you." Lancer pointed out.

Ryougi clucked her togue and turned away. "Nobody asked you."

Lancer looked at the Neko and shrugged with a wide grin on his face. The Neko chuckled. "I suppose that attitude is your selling point. Some people really like the tsundere ones."

"Hmph. Who's tsundere?" Ryougi growled, hopped off the barstool and walked away.
