Kill la College: Chapter four: Dwinking ish the mossst fun a girrl can haf
Kent set down the empty cup with flourish and using the tip of his finger managed to flip it over in one try.
"Yes!" he threw his hands in the air and nodded his head up and down as if he had won some sort of great batle. Which this competition technically was. Only the most hardened drinkers would survive this battle of pitting the stomach against liquior, and move on to be one step closer to the holy grail, Honnouji Fraternity.
Kent's twin sister clapped him hard on his back in congratulations causing Ryuko to roll her eyes. Her team had lost the first go against that mowhawked dude's team, which pissed her off to no extent. His smug grin, along with the blue haired boy's middle finger salute in departure, had been the last thing she had seen as he and his squad rolled up the stairs to the next round. She had drank faster than him but then Mako's cup hadn't flipped over allowing him to catch up and then Kate had taken forever to chug, saying she hated wine, and by the time it was Kent's turn to drink, the blonde girl on the other team had flipped her cup successfully. But now, Ryuko's team had won their second turn, and they were on their way to the second floor, where Ryuko would challenege that asshole to a game and this time she would be sure to win.
Swiping the green card they had been handed, the doors to the stairs opened up and they made way to the second floor where the music was even louder and the walls a green color. Thankfully the walls were just plain green with no ugly patterns on it, and the room was sparesly decorated with couches, chairs, and tables with cups set up on them in a familiar position to every party go-er. Small strings of neon lights hung from the walls and they did little to alleviate the dark of the room. The curtains were also drawn, not helping the darkness at all.
"So three teams have made it up so far," the server there, who emerged from where he had been hiden amongst the shadows perfectly, announced and shook his head. "We'll wait until the next group makes it up so that I won't have to repeat myself. In the meantime please take a seat."
Ryuko and Mako sat down on one of the only couches and waited, the anticpiation leaving Ryuko shaking her leg. The mowhawked guy, whose name she speculated was Kinagase, since his friend called him that last time, was sitting on a chair, arms still crossed over his chest and determined scowl on his face. His gaze said he was lost to his thoughts, but his blue haired friend was at ease as always, arms drapped around the back of his chair. He caught Ryuko staring at them and smirked, but Ryuko wouldn't let herself be embarassed by being seen. Instead she leveled at him one of her trademark glares, arms going over her chest. He seemed to take this as an invitation to approach her, because he got out of his chair and strolled over to her, a cocky grin on his handsome face.
"So all that big talk, was just talk I see."
"Can it, smart ass. If it had just been me against you or your friend, you would've lost. Hell, I could've beat both of you by myself."
"Oh really now?" The boy leaned in closer to her, his breath smelling of wine. "Then you might have to, oh I don't know, prove it to me. Or else I don't really believe you." He pulled back from her, just as she rammed the heel of her hand painfully into his shoulder.
"Mind giving me some personal space, blueberry?" Ryuko growled out, unnerved by his close vicinity.
The boy scowled momentarily. "Really? That's the best name you could come up with? Blueberry? I'm insulted by your lack of creativity. Hot Stuff would have been a better nickname." He went back to grinning at this and Ryuko felt herself grow irritated.
He was trying to rile her up like he tried to last time, and admitadly had almost done, but she wasn't going to let it get the better of her.
"Back up, before I make you," Ryuko threatened, shaking her fist at him. He was about to say something more when the mowhawked guy appeared behind his friend and put a heavy hand on his shoulder. The boy looked back at him, the friend shaking his head no. "Don't waste your time," he growled, "on a girl who prides herself on being called a vacuum cleaner." With that he pulled Blueberry away and they went back to their seats, chuckling as they did so. But Ryuko was slightly fuming. How dare they make fun of her nickname. She had worked hard to earn it! It was an honor in her school district. She'd just show them how wrong they were for laughing at her. Just wait until it was time to do a keg stand or something.
At last, the final group made it up the stairs and the server clapped his hands. "Everyone, we will be playing beer pong today. The tables have already been set up," he gestured to the tables with the red cups on them. "You will do this challenge in pairs and will versus another pair one at a time. If you lose your round, you'll have to wait until the current group of pairs is done, and then you can challenge the losers of that group. This continues until there are no more cards. There are only fifteen cards for this level so I suggest you team up with someone that is skilled." Ryuko smirked. She already knew who she was going to play with. She was with Mako all the way, no matter if someone was better than her friend or not. She'd rather lose with Mako than win with a complete stranger. Also it helped that Mako was good at beer pong.
"There will be four pairs up at a time, and we will preside over them." At this more servers stepped out from the shadows of the room. What creeps, Ryuko shivered. "Of course before we start I'll go over the rules of the game. Now," at this the server picked up two ping pong balls from the cup on the table next to him. "Who wants to go first?"
Ryuko's hand shot up the instant that the man finished speaking, just as did Kinagase's and Blueberry's hands.
"You're going first Ryuko?" Mako asked as Ryuko grabbed her friends hand and pulled her towards the table.
"No, we're going first." Ryuko announced and planted her feet in front of the table. The mowhawk guy and his blue haired friend took their place across from the two girls. Two more pairs of students took a nearby table. The servers got into position, and read out loud the rules of beer pong. During this time Ryuko stared down her opponents who didn't seem too unfazed by her. Kinagase just glared at her, arms across his chest, while Blueberry winked and flashed her a charming smile. The servers, done with the rules gave each pair some ping pong balls. "Who ever makes a ball first in the opposing teams cups, goes first. And don't worry about rushing; this is not a timed event."
Ryuko gave her opponents a smile. "Get ready to lose. You may have beat me last time, but that wasn't my fault. This time I'll prove that I'm hard core." Ryuko stated before turning to Mako. "You ready to do this girl?"
Mako shook her head up and down enthusiastically, her coconut hair cut getting messy. "Sure am. Go team Ryuko and Mako!" Holding the ball to her eye she tossed it in. It went into the cup smoothly. Ryuko did the same, her ball also landing into a cup.
The mowhawk guy said nothing, just let his own ball fly. He missed and it bounced off the cup.
"Slacking already, huh mowhawk dude. You and your little blueberry friend over there are gonna go down hard." Ryuko said as she and Mako high fived each other. Even if the other boy made the ball in, they would still go first since they had gotten both balls in.
"We have names, you know. Their Aikuro and Kinagase." The blue haired guy-Aikuro- said as he threw his ball and missed as well.
"As if I care. Your names are gonna be loser and blue haired loser after I finish with you!" Ryuko said cracking her knuckles. It looked like they both sucked at beer pong. This would be a piece of cake. She grabbed her ball, dipped it into the beer in her cup, and then let her ball fly.
The game started off good for Ryuko and Mako. The two girls sank shot after shot into their opponent's cups. Albeit they did miss some, but not as much as the two guys. The guys would screw up their faces in concentration and focus a lot on the target but in the end they had only knocked down two of the girls cups whereas the girls had knocked down all but three of theirs. "Haha! Whose the better one now?" Ryuko asked amidst the cries of truimphance that came from the other pairs that were playing.
Aikuro shrugged and looked to his friend. "What do we do now? I don't want to lose to bad players like them."
"Bad players?" Ryuko sputtered. "You're the bad players here. You can't even make it in!"
"Yea! You guys suck!" Mako added unhelpfully.
Kinagase shook his head. "We gave you a chance to prove your skill, but you've bored us. We don't have any more time for this. Aikuro let's finish this." Kinagase rolled back his shoulders and picked up his ball; it was their turn to shoot. Quick as a flash the ball landed in the cup closest to Ryuko, with such force that the cup was knocked over, spilling beer on Ryuko's pants.
"Oi, you asshole," she growled. "These were my only good pair." Kinagase shrugged unapologetically before Aikuro sunk in his own ball, this one bouncing off of Mako's forehead and into the cup. It all happened so fast that Mako hadn't even realized the ball hit her, until she was left with a small bruise on her forehead.
"Oi, you asshole," Ryuko seethed, putting her foot on the table in an attempt to climb it, only to have Mako grab her around the waist and restrain her. "That's my only friend! Don't hurt her."
"Ryuko-chan! Don't cause trouble. I don't want you to be disqualified for fighting." Mako pleaded as she finally got her friend off the table. "I'm fine, so let's just focus on the game?"
Ryuko looked at her friend with consideration before turning to the server. "He can't do that, can he?"
The server shook his head. "It's perfectly legal. You can use a person to bounce the ball off of and into the cup."
"According to whose rules?"
"To the written rules of the alcoholics. If you feel it is unfair, you can quit the game."
Ryuko grumbled but said nothing, bringing her focus back to the game.
"If you're done whining, it's still our turn since we made both balls in. Unless you forgot about that rule too." Aikuro smirked, picking up his ball.
"Just get on with it," Ryuko muttered out through gritted teeth. "You freaken-" Ryuko choked on her words as Aikuro handed his ball over to Kinagase before swiftly pulling apart his button down shirt. A perfect chest peeked out from under the white fabric, which Aikuro held apart using his hands. His nips seemed to glow in the luminosity of the neon lights. Then with deft hands, Kinagase bounced a ping pong ball, one for each pectoral, right into Ryuko's and Mako's cups. The girls were now down by six cups.
"And that?!" Ryuko sputtered, with an incredulous look on her face. She pointed her right hand accusingly at the server, left hand pushing up Mako's open mouth, to close it.
"Perfectly legal."
Letting out a growl, Ryuko felt her frustrations grow. She couldn't let them win, but unless they bounced the ball there was no way for her to knock the balls out of the air.
Aikuro rebuttoned up his shirt. "Still our turn," he reminded her. Ryuko and Mako could only watch in frustration as Kinagase and Aikuro sank in shot after shot with ease. One off the wall, one off the ceiling and another one with their back turned to the cups. They were un-freaken-believable! They weren't even taking the girls seriously!
At last, when the final ball sank in Ryuko let her shoulders sag. They had lost again and to the same people. The way the boys had been playing before had clearly been a joke. This was their full potential.
"Aikuro and Kinagase win!" The server announced and then pulled out two green cards. "Congratulations, you will move onto the next level." The boys high fived before taking the cards.
"I look forward to challenging you again on the next floor-if you make it that far!" Aikuro laughed, his perfect teeth gleaming in the light as they turned towards the stairs. Kinagase clapped his friend on the back before adding, "I wouldn't count on it. She's the so called famous vacuum cleaner and now I can see why they call her that. It's because she sucks so much!" The two boys laughter was the last thing Ryuko heard before they disappeared. Ryuko was grinding her teeth together so hard it was a wonder how they hadn't turned to dust yet.
"It'll be okay Ryuko. We still have a chance to win." Mako patted her friend reassuringly on the back. Ryuko wasn't upset about losing-she still knew she had a chance to win- it was the fact to whom she had lost to.
Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Ryuko prepared herself to face another team. But her mind was not in the game, anger shaking her arm and making her miss. She chugged down the beer, the taste as bitter as her constant failure. She had to calm down, it was just her that was fucking up the game. Mako was scoring just fine and really, these opponents were nowhere near as good as the two boys. Ryuko wondered if the boys went to a special training camp for beer pong. Unfortunately Mako and her lost again, and Ryuko felt even more anger consume her. This was so frustrating! She could imagine the two boys, watching her from some secret camera and laughing at her failure.
When the other pair moved on to the next level, Mako took Ryuko aside and lifted her hands above her head, in her trademark position. "Ryuko-chan! Don't be discouraged! We can get through this, we can fight, fight, fight our way out." Mako mimicked shadow boxing before crossing her arms over her chest in a big X. "Except we can't physically fight because we could get in trouble, but we can fight with our stomachs!" At this Mako protruded her belly out before squeezing it and then going to pinch Ryuko's who unsuccessfully tried to dodge. Then she took a deep breath before shouting out, "So don't give up Ryuko!" before letting her hands fall down to her side dramatically. Ryuko let out a laugh. Mako was right. There was no point in staying mad. She was not defeated as long as she had another opportunity to fight. She'd just have to challenge them yet again, on the next level!
Ryuko rolled up her jacket sleeves and approached the table, with Mako in tow, where her new opponents awaited her. "Let's get started."
They finally beat the third team and moved on to the next floor. The third floor was painted an orange shade, one that vaguely reminded Ryuko of puke. There was no music playing on this floor, leaving Ryuko feeling a bit deaf from how loud it had been on the previous floor. The lights here were thankfully dim, as her eyes had begun to hurt her in bright light. She'd consumed quite a bit of beer and she could feel that her ear tips were heating up, a sign that she was getting tipsy. She wondered if Mako was okay, but the girl was just staring at the room in admiration. That was when Ryuko noticed there was completely no furniture in the room but a basketball court, a track and a rope hanging down from the ceiling. What is this for? Ryuko wondered, scratching her eyebrow.
"Took you a while to get up here, huh?" Aikuro asked, sautering over to Ryuko who wanted to punch his smug grin off. He was so annoying. And so handsome. Woah, she couldn't believe she had just thought that. She blamed it on the alcohol for making her think stupid thoughts.
"Yea, and so what. I just wanted a chance to drink more beer for free. And besides getting one of the last pairs of cards for the next level adds more excitement to the competition than if I had just won from the get go." Ryuko blabbered, trying to sound as if she had wanted to lose to them.
"Oh, really?" Aikuro arched a brow. "Cause that's not how it looked to me."
Ryuko didn't respond. She was done talking to him. She walked away from him and back to Mako who was sitting cross legged on the ground. Ryuko sat down with a huff next to her. "So, how are you? You feel okay?"
"Yea, I'm good. I don't feel drunk yet." Mako cheered. "Although the room is moving around awfully weird."
Again the servers on this floor had insited that everyone wait until all the groups were up and at last with everyone in the room they could begin speaking.
"Alright everyone, go up to someone you'd like to challenge." Ryuko knew who she wanted to challenge. It was one of the two boys. But which one? Aikuro? He was infuriating with his cocky behavior and Ryuko would love to punch his pretty face in but what about Kinagase? The man spoke less but he was always perpetually unimpressed with Ryuko's course of action. She felt like he was judging her silently and this was worse than being made fun of verbally. It was settled. She'd challenge Kinagase, she'd give him a real reason to scowl when she beat him. Ryuko immediately speed over to Kinagase who looked down at her but said nothing. Mako ran over to where Aikuro was standing. "I got your back Ryuko!" she exclaimed. "I know how obssessed you are with these two, so while you take down sexy mowhawk guy, I'll take care of his less sexy friend here."
"I'm not obssessed with them!" Ryuko hissed, embarassed at Mako's loud cry, to whihc the other competitiors had snickered at.
"Sexy?" Kinagase and Aikuro muttered out at the same time. "I'm sexy?" the mowhawked guy asked. "I was trying to go for scary."
"And I'm not sexy?" Aikuro asked with tears in the conrers of his eyes. "Tell me these abs don't just ooze sex appeal." He ripped open his shirt, throwing his head back dramatically and put out his toned body on display. All the girl competitiors let out screams of appreciation.
"It's okay Ryuko!" Mako gave her friend a thumbs up. "You don't have to say these things outloud. I just know!"
Ryuko facepalmed her face. "Never mind." she muttered out and turned to the servers. "Can we start the competition? Hey are you guys listening?" she added when she caught the female servers crowding around Aikuro's still bared chest.
"Oh, of course," one of them coughed in embarassment as they straightened out their unifroms and tried to look more serious. "For this game you will be paired up with this person."
"What?!" Ryuko and Kinagase both shouted out and pointed at each other without looking at one another.
"But I didn't chose to work with her. She came to me!" Kinagase complained to the servers.
"I wouldn't have come to him if I had known this would be the rule. You can't not tell us the whole thing!" Ryuko yelled at the servers. The servers just shrugged. "Those are the rules. If you don't like it you can quit."
Ryuko and Kinagase grumbling angrily stared at each other. "Your gonna make me lose," Kinagase muttered.
"And your a stupid overgrown oaf." Ryuko stumbled out. She didn't know what else to say. She was just so upset by this sudden twist. She'd wanted to challenge him and beat him, not work with him.
"Real mature," he commented causing Ryuko's ears to go red. "I know that," she hissed. "Fucking idiot." She was out of insults for now. The servers ignoring the two squabbling players took out a hat. "Inside this hat are slips of paper with body parts on them. You will have to be joined up to your partner by this body part and complete an obsitcle course with them. The obsticle courae that you will complete is the one you see in this room." The players craned there heads to have a look before turning back to the servers.
"Even better," Ryuko muttered. She didn't want to work with Kinagase much less touch him. The hat was passed around and each person picked out a slip of paper. When the hat came to Ryuko, Kinagase snatched it out of her hand.
"Oi, what are you doing? It's my turn to pick."
"You'll pick something stupid," he explained.
"I so will not," she grunted as she tried to reach the hat but he kept it out of reach above her head while rummaging through the papers with his other hand. At last he pulled something out and passed on the hat to another group. Opening up the paper he blanched.
"Oi, what? What is it?" she demanded and snatched the paper out of his hands, this time he didn't try to stop her. On it the word mouth was printed in bold letters. Ryuko felt her heart drop. "Your fucking kidding me right? And you said I would pick some dumb shit! The fuck is this?" she yelled stomping her foot and waving the paper in front of his face.
"It's a piece of paper," he stated calmly his face stiff but slowly regaining color.
"I know what the fuck this is, but what the fuck is this? Like why do we have to be joined by the mouth. This is some fucking bullshit," Ryuko turned to the server. "I wanna switch. Fuck face over here picked something stupid."
"I'm sorry but no switching allowed. If you don't like it you can quit the game," the server spread out her hands and shook her head.
Grumbling Ryuko flung the paper away. There was no way she was gonna quit the game. She didn't come this far to let herslef, Mako and her family down. Plus she still had two more rounds and two more chances to beat Kinagase and Aikuro. She took a deep breath trying to calm her nerves. She had to do this. She looked Kinagase in the eye. "I swear if you have bad breath or give me some mouth disease I'll chop off your balls."
Kinagase rolled his eyes. "I'm not a slut like you, my mouth is clean. Now shut up." And before Ryuko could respond his mouth covered hers, his teeth clanking hard against her's. His lips were warm and his breath tasted of alcohol. "Be gentle," she hissed running a tongue over her teeth. "I don't have horse teeth like yours." The server wrapped a tie to their head to keep them in position. Then he went around with the other servers and they did the same to the others, leaving Mako and Aikuro tied together by the waist.
"For this level you will have to do an obsitcale course more or less. This will involve several stages and during these stages you and your partner must not seperate or else you will be made to take shots and only then be allowed back to the game. The first round involes playing basketball. You have to make three baskets in, before you can continue to the second stage. For the second stage you will have to run a length of track and climb up a rope at the end of the track. Once you reach the top, you can come down and do the third stage where you will have to put as much liquor from one cup to the next using a spoon and then drink whatever remains. Since there are sixteen of you here then will do pairs of four. So four groups will go up at once." The server finished saying and pointed to the basketball court.
"You better not fuck this up," Ryuko mumbled around Kinagase's mouth as they crabwalked after the other players to the basketball court.
"You better not fuck this up," he growled back.
They got up to the line. From the conrer of her eye Ryuko could see they were up against the Norman twins and two other pairs of people she didn't recognize.
"Go!" yelled the server and off they rushed. Kinagase and Ryuko did an awkward shuffle and made it to one of the balls on the ground. They bent down together to pick it up. "Let me shoot," Ryuko insited but Kinagase ignored her and raised the ball above his head. He missed. "Come on i'm actually good at it," she mumbled as they shuffled to pick up the ball, but yet again he ignored her and picked up the ball and missed. "Come on," she growled.
"If your big head wasn't in the way," he growled "i could actually see."
"If you miss this one, your letting me try." Ryuko didn't respond to his insult. "We don't have a lot of time and we're not losing cause of your inability to throw balls."
Again Kinagase missed and finally handed the ball over to Ryuko with resignation. Ryuko let her fingers go over the grains on the ball. The world seemed to slow down around her and quiet down. Basketball was her life. Every problem she had would just melt away as soon as she was on the court. She could play for hours on end but now was not the time for that. She had to focus on getting these three points. But she could shoot hoops with her eyes closed. She did just that as she positioned her hands above her head. All around her the other teams had already gone otno the next challeneg and here they were still stuck. She let the ball fly and it went into the hoop with a swooosh. She did this two more times, and finally they were able to move on.
They set off down the track running sideways but everyone was already practically at the end. Shit, they were never going to make it. Suddenly Kinagase grabbed her by her thighs and wrapped them around his waist. He then began running straight down the track, jostling Ryuko with every step.
"Put me down you oaf," she mumbled around his mouth but he snorted.
"I'm trying to help us run, unless you'd rather be the one carrying me and running." Ryuko didn't say anything back. His idea was working and they were catching up to the others. His arms were wrapped around her back to keep her from falling and his eyes were trained to the side, trying to get a glimpse of the track to make sure they weren't going the wrong way. They managed to make it to the track end just in time to notice that the other players had already started ascending their individual ropes. The Norman twins were already mid way up the rope, their motion so synchronized because they were used to working together, even though their one arm was pinned behind their back and tied together to be touching at the elbow.
"Fuck how are we gonna climb that?" Ryuko questioned. She had completelty forgotten this was one of the challenges. The others hadn't been so bad, but how were they going to conquer this one? It was impossible!
"I came up with a plan as I was running." Kinagase explained breathing heavily and blowing hot air into Ryuko's mouth as he tried to catch his breath. He set her down on the ground and they grabbed the rope.
"Eww stop blowing hot air into my mouth,"Rryuko pushed against his chest, trying to seperate them before she realized she coulnd't or else they'd lose.
"Well if you weren't so fat, I wouldn't need to be breathng hard." Kinagase retorted. Ryuko was gonna say something back but decided against it. They needed to focus their energy on winning this competition. Shrieks from above her told her one of the teams was having difficulty with the rope climbing.
What's the plan?" Ryuko asked, feeling precious seconds ticking away.
"Just follow my instructions," Kinagase said and Ryuko listened to his rapid explaination. They ended up climbing up the rope in an unconventional fashion. They held their bodies straihgt out sideways from the rope, their lips still facing one another, while their arms gripped the rope and they began to climb in unison moving their arms so that their weight would be even. It put a terrible strain on the upper body but luckily both of them worked out and so it wasn't too difficult. They reached the top and then descended halfway down the rope before they both dropped to the ground, Kinagase landing first and catching Ryuko into her arms. Setting her down quickly they began the cup challenge. The others had finished the rope challenge before them but they weren't too far behind now. The Norman twins were in the lead from all the other pairs and had already started doing the cup challenge. Kinagase and Ryuko set to work wordlessly. They had put aside their beef for now and were solely focused on winning the competition. They took a spoon and set to work on dipping it into the big jug and sliding their way across to the other big jug on the end to pour that there. But the ground was covered in a blue tarmac and was slippery causing Ryuko to fall a couple times cursing as she did so and spilling all her alcohol. They had to go back to the start of the tarmac and get more liquid onto their spoon. Other teams weren't having much louck either and Ryuko could see only an eight of the beaker they were suppossed to transfer their liquid to was full. The Norman's had a little more than that. Instead of getting pissed off at her failure so far, it gave Ryuko a bright idea. She pushed Kinagase, who didn't even complain, to the ground onto his back and laid down on top of him. Using her legs they pushed off and Ryuko was able to hold the spoon level until they reached the other end. They stood up, poured the contents in and slide back. They managed to make good traction this way, even gaining the lead on the other two groups who started coping their styles but the Norman twins were still ahead. Ryuko was actually having a little bit of fun now if she thought about it.
Eventually the timer sounded signalling the end of the game. The servers walked past, inspecting the cups and nodding their heads. "Okay now that you have tried to get as much as you can into the beakers, whatever is left over in the buckets, you will have to chug the rest of."
"How are we supposed to drink it if our mouth are connected?" Ryuko asked her voice muffled. The server shrugged. "I didnt think anyone would get that, but I suppose you chug the rest and then just take a shot each as a penalty for being untied. I'll get them ready for you."
The server brought them two shot glasses and then undid their tie. The two of them pulled apart taking in deep gulps of fresh air.
"Omg that was so gross. I thought I was gonna puke, your breath was so bad," ryuko huffed wiping at her lips.
Kinagase spat several times on the ground. "I hope I never have to do that again," he grumbled.
The server signalled the start and they began chugging the drink. Ryuko smiled when she realized it was wine. Kate hated wine and she knew that they could overcome the twins. Kinagase and Ryuko finished at the same time, belched and then took the shots in the same breath. They high fived each other after they were done.
"Not bad" Kinagase smirked. "But you would have lost if we were versing each other."
"Yea right," Ryuko retorted. "You should count yourself lucky that you weren't going against me."
The rest of the players had finally finished their drinks and the servers took the empty cups. "Well, we have our winners for this round. Ryuko and Kinagase, along with the Norman twins!"
"Ryuko!" an excuberant Mako rushed up to her friend, dragging Aikuro with her. "You won!" the cocunut headed girl announced and hugged the black haired girl.
"I know," Ryuko could feel a hot flush spread over her body and she let a huge grin cover her face. The alcohol was warming her up nice and proper now. She peeled Mako off of her and said. "I'll wait for you upstairs okay. I want you to win."
"What about me?" aikuro asked with a playful smirk.
"You could lose for all I care," Ryuko stated angrily but then she remebered that Mako was on his team. "But you wouldn't dare to, cause your attached to Mako. And I swaer if you lose, I"ll chop off your nips." Ryuko threatened and grabbed him by his shirt collar.
"Ease up, I'm not gonna lose," he insited and Ryuko let go. A server apporached her and Kinagase and handed them the next card they would need to progress upwards. She smiled at the card, feeling joy bubble through her veins. She was one step closer to winning. She just really hoped that Mako's team would make it up, even if that sleazy hot guy was with them.
She ascended up the stairs to the fourth level, following after Kinagase and the Norman twins. The walls were painted a red color with green swirls and the room was bare except for cushions on the floor that were set around a single big cup. Cards were laid out next to the big cup and a server turned to greet them, a tray in his hands. On it were glasses of alcohol which he placed down next to each cushion.
"Holy shit are we gonna play kings?" ryuko asked excited, after her brain had finallly processed what she was looking at. She loved kings; it got everyone messed up.
The server nodded his head prompting Ryuko to sit down heavily on a cushion. The other players followed suit and Ryuko got ready for the best game of Kings in her life.
