Author's Note: So here we have another oneshot featuring Yuka and Iku. It's not a direct sequel to Chapter 1, mostly because I don't know how to follow up from there. Regardless, I think this chapter is really cute. Reviews are always welcomed! Anyway, enjoy!

"Are you sure you're right about this?" Yuka asked, concerned about a certain invitation that both she and Iku received.

"Absolutely. I received the invitation yesterday. Remilia Scarlet is indeed hosting a party at her mansion tonight. I think we should go, Yuka." Iku said.

Yuka only managed to sigh. She was never one for large social gatherings, unless it involved her slaughtering them.

"I'd rather not go Iku."

"Please?"

"No Iku." Yuka said as her voice grew more stern.

"So be it. You leave me no choice now~!"

"No…oh no…" Yuka thought. "She couldn't possible mean…"

Iku then proceeded to make the biggest puppy dog eyes she could manage.

"Damnit…"

"Alright, alright." Yuka said, defeated. "We'll go."

Iku giggled. "Thank you Yuka. You do know you fell for the oldest trick in the book, right?"

It was Yuka turn to chuckle. "When you do it Iku, it actually works."

As night fell, Yuka and Iku made their way to the main gates of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Hong Meiling was there, letting the guests inside.

"Name?" Meiling said.

Yuka stared blankly at her. "You know who I am Meiling." She said, slightly annoyed.

Meiling started to laugh a little nervously. "Heh heh, sorry about that Yuka. Miss Sakuya is making me ask the names of all the attendees, so that no one unfamiliar gets inside."

"I wonder why…" Yuka muttered under her breath.

"Hm?" Meiling said.

"Oh nothing, nothing" Yuka mused.

Meiling then finally noticed Iku's presence. "Oh! My apologies! I don't believe we've met before. My name is Hong Meiling." Meiling said, in a very respectful manner.

"I am Iku of the Nagae. A pleasure to meet you Miss Meiling." Iku said smiling.

"Well I shouldn't keep you two waiting. Please, come inside. Most of the guests are in the main hall." Meiling said as she pointed them in the general direction.

"Thank you very much." Iku said. Yuka seemed to roll her eyes as she walked past Meiling.

The duo made their way into the main hall. Remilia sure went the extra mile for this party. The room consisted of many, many tables, each with a vase containing several roses. Then there was food spread out. It all looked so wonderful. There was even a fountain of sake. One could assume that was installed for the enjoyment for two particular Oni…

Iku and Yuka both sat down at an empty table. Yuka decided to look around the room for anyone familiar. There certainly were. Obviously Remilia and Flandre, Sakuya, Reimu, Marisa (surprisingly), Alice, Yukari, Yuyuko, Youmu, the House of Eintei, Aya, Momiji, Nitori, and among countless others that she knew.

Part of Yuka wished that a fight would break out. Just the thought of so many powerful entities turning a party into a full-blown war amused her.

"Iku?" Yuka asked.

"Hmm? Yes Yuka?"

"How does Remilia know you?" Yuka asked. It wasn't because she was jealous or anything, just curious.

"Oh, well when the Eldest Daughter was causing trouble, I went around warning everyone here of the coming earthquakes. Remilia Scarlet was one of them."

"Interesting. I don't suppose you know anyone else here?" Yuka asked. She had originally assumed Iku was relatively unknown amongst Gensokyo's usual inhabitants.

"Well, let's see know…" Iku said as she looked around the room. "I recognize the Oni, Suika. The Eldest Daughter actually promised her part of Heaven."

"Why am I not surprised?" Yuka said.

"Then there's the Tengu, the dimension Youkai, as well as the Ghost."

"Oh ho! I'm surprised you know of Aya, Yukari, and Yuyuko. I assume they were people you warned about the earthquakes as well?"

"Correct."

"My my, don't you get around." Yuka said with a slightly smug grin.

"I guess I do. You are an example of that, after all." Iku said smiling.

They both laughed. Things weren't going as bad as Yuka thought. She figured it would be much more dull.

Eventually, three particular poltergeists made their way onto the main stage. The Prismriver Sisters. As one would assume, they were there to provide music for the evening. When they started playing, almost everyone got to dancing.

Iku saw this as a perfect opportunity.

"Would you like to dance with me Yuka?" Iku said.

That one sentence froze Yuka. "Shit." she thought. Although she knew Iku loved dancing, Yuka could not dance for the life of her. Mix that with the fact there are so many people here, and things could turn ugly. For them anyways. What confused her was that Iku knew that Yuka couldn't dance. Of course she waits until now for some lessons.

"Come on now. It'll be fun!" Iku said as she held her hand out.

Yuka was faced with the choice of either embarrassing herself in front of everyone, promptly resulting in her rage and the painful deaths of countless, countless Youkai or make Iku unhappy.

The choice was obvious.

Yuka got up from her seat, took Iku's hand, and proceeded to the dance floor.

"Yuka listen, I know you don't like to dance, and I may have picked the worst possible time to ask you for one, but thank you. Thank you very much." Iku said.

That made it worth it to Yuka.

"I don't suppose you can give some lessons on the fly, do you?" Yuka said chuckling.

"Of course. First, wrap your arms around my waist." Iku said.

"Oh my, you don't have to tell me twice!" Yuka said. She proceeded to do place her arms around Iku. Things were off to a very good start so far.

"Now, move in conjunction with my steps. If I step forward, you step back and vice versa. It's all very simple. Then you need basically flow with the rhythm of the music. Throw in some twist and turns, and there you go."

"That's a very vague explanation Iku…" Yuka said.

"Explanations were never really my strong suit admittedly. Just follow my lead~!" Iku said with a mild giggle.

Yuka couldn't explain it, but she was actually dancing. And no one has died yet! Although, that might have been a disappointment for her. But she was actually dancing competently with Iku. She was actually right. Just follow her lead and go with the flow.

Iku stared at Yuka.

"Still wish we didn't come here?" Iku said laughing.

"I admit, things haven't been a complete disappointment. Being with you in this moment has been wonderful."

"You are so cheesy sometimes." Iku said playfully.

"I know. Now shut up and dance with me, love."
