It's the middle of the next morning by the time Yukari and Kitsune each awaken. At first, they are confused over what had happened, until it all comes back to them through their hangovers.

Hangovers so intense that their judgment get suspended.

Shinobu's screaming carries throughout the dorm and everyone, except Kitsune, come running. They all burst in to see what the matter is, with Motoko leading the charge and brandishing her sword. Everyone comes to a sudden halt behind the thoroughly bewildered diminutive girl as her face is blood-red and her eyes are as wide as saucers with pinpricked pupils. The rest of the gang now take on the same looks themselves. Shinobu tries to speak but can only point at the source of her screaming. And that source is Yukari.

"Will you goddamn retards keep it down, I got a headache! Shut up . . . ! Oh wait, that's me."

"Oh, oh," Mutsumi sighed, though her expression is not as intense as the others, it is intense enough for someone of her demeanor.

"Oh, my God," Haruka said in her usual deadpan tone and expression as her cigarette drops out of her mouth, though her eyes do show a touch of bewilderment.

"It's a disaster, it's all crazy!" Osaka stated spacily with her usual spacey bewildered expression.

"This is not happening!" Nyamo squeaked as she has her face buried into her hands while shaking her head.

"Y-Yukari-chan!" Naru squeaked. "Wha-What a-are y-you d-doing!?"

"What does it look like, genius!? I'm having a piss and I got a bad case of diarrhea!" Squelching sounds emphasize her statement. "Aren't there locks on these washroom doors!? Shut up . . . ! Oh wait, that's me."

"B-B-But y-you're u-using a . . . a . . . s-soup pot!" Chiyo-chan squeaked as her eyes are now swirls.

"And this is the kitchen!" Nyamo shrieked furiously with swirl eyes of her own.

Yukari stares back with a half-asleep look before looking around and finally noticing that it truly is the kitchen. And that she is actually using a soup pot too.

"Oh," she finally groaned nonchalantly. "I was wondering why I couldn't find the toilet."

There is a flash of a camera.

"Got it!" Sarah exclaimed gleefully as she holds a mini-digital camera aloft.

"Me too!" Tomo chimed as she take a picture too.

"Ahhhhh! Finished!" Yukari stated contentedly as she rises, heedless of the crowd before her and looks around. "Oh, there's the tissues." And begins pulling paper towels down then starts wiping herself off.

That is when Naru finally notices Keitaro gaping alongside her as she does a double take.

"Get out, sicko!" She snarled through the second take while giving him a vicious right hook that sends him flying out the kitchen through the door.

"Kitsune!" Motoko gasped. "She might be doing something shameful from her lack of judgment! We must go see to her!"

"Nyamo and I will tend to Yukari," Haruka said. "The rest of you get going."

They hurry out, trampling Keitaro along the way. But when they get to Kitsune's room, they find her gone. They check the washroom on the floor, but she isn't there. Nor is she in the baths when they check there either.

"Where can she be!" Yomi exclaimed as she scratches her head.

"Okay, here is what we're going to do," Naru stated. "We're going to break up into four teams of three to search for Kitsune. One group is going to have to stay up here in case she makes her way back."

"I'll do it," Yomi said. "And so will Osaka and Mutsumi-chan."

"We will?" Osaka asked absently.

"Yes, we will," Yomi stated with a frown as her eyes are spots and lines, showing her seriousness.

"Now that that part is settled," Naru continued. "Another group will take the top floor. Shinobu, Kagura, Chiyo-chan, that's your job."

"Yes," all three said in unison.

"Kaolla, Tomo-chan, Sarah, you take the bottom floor."

"Yes," all three of them shouted in unison as they jump.

"So that leaves me, Motoko, and Sakaki-chan to search the outside."

"But how are we going to let the others know when we find her?" Chiyo-chan asked.

"Got it covered!" Kaolla yelled proudly while holding up four small walkie-talkies.

"Oh, that's great, Kaolla!" Naru said as she takes one and turns it on, as do the others. "Okay, let's go."

Each group hurries off, except Yomi's group as they simply stay in Kitsune's room. Yomi sits on the floor with a bored expression. Osaka sits on one side of her and Mutsumi on the other.

"Why did you choose us to stay here with you, Yomi-chan?" Mutsumi asked.

"Because you two are the easiest to deal with things that involve staying in one place. Tomo, Kaolla, and Sarah-chan would only get too bored and end up running off or amusing themselves with all sorts of mischief. The others may be more disciplined, but they are better able to go looking instead of staying put. Then there is also the reason that the both of you tend to-"

That is when Mutsumi suddenly leans heavily onto her, followed immediately by Osaka, causing Yomi to growl with annoyance as her eyes become dots and lines.

"-fall asleep."

Osaka wakes up and sits upright once again. Mutsumi awakens too, only to start nuzzling Yomi, much to her chagrin.

"Kaolla was right," Mutsumi sighed with her face still buried into Yomi. "You do feel soft and squishy, like hot jelly."

"Ahhh, you're right," Osaka sighed as she does the same thing too.

"Will you both cut that out!" Yomi hollered as she quickly stands.


The others search high and low for Kitsune, but can't find her. Down in the main area, near the kitchen, Keitaro now stands. As if right on cue, Kitsune staggers in.

Stark naked.

Keitaro's complexion turns blood red as his eyes go wide like saucer plates and bug out with his pupils as pinpricks. Blood comes gushing out of his nose

"Oh, there you are," Kitsune purred as she staggers up to him and grabs ahold of him. Blood continues to gush out of his nose. "Let's get it on, baby." And she pushes him up against the wall where she starts rubbing herself against him. His eyes now roll up into his head as he quavers and makes choking sounds.

And who should happen come onto the scene but. . . .

"Hey, we found Kitsune!" Tomo yelled gleefully into the walkie-talkie, with Sarah and Kaolla on either side of her with gleefully expressions. "She's naked and Keitaro-san's trying to seduce her!"

"No, I'm not!" He screamed hysterically.

The teams quickly start arriving to bear witness to the scene. Haruka comes out of the kitchen with a package in her arms, along with Nyamo who has Yukari braced across her shoulders. Naru, Motoko, and Sakaki are the last to arrive.

"Keitaro!" Naru snarled with a frown and glowing red eyes as she holds her fist up.

"It-It's not what it looks like!?" Keitaro screamed.

"Spare me your feeble excuses!" Naru snarled then punches him, causing his head to make a crater in the wall, which in turn causes Tomo to laugh hysterically.

"Now that we've found Kitsune," Motoko announced curtly, causing Tomo to stop laughing, "let's get her dressed."

"And get some coffee into them," Nyamo answered wearily while still holding a dazed Yukari aloft.

Haruka stands near Tomo, then looks nonchalantly at her.

"Here's a present from Yukari," she said in samesaid tone as she shoves the package into her arms. The package containing the soup pot as its lid had also been sealed onto it.

"Gah, no way!" Tomo hollered with disgust as she shoves it into Sarah's arms.

"Don't give it to me, you idiot!" Sarah exclaimed with outrage as she shoves it back into Tomo's arms.

"Dump it in the garbage," Haruka answered curtly with a mild rap of her knucks against Tomo's head.

"Careful, Haruka-san, you might break your knuckles," Yomi said dryly.

Tomo runs off and dumps it in the garbage can out back then quickly returns. They help Yukari to a table where she waits while the coffee still brewed. As they wait, they get Kitsune dressed.

Both are now at the table, sitting next to one another and awaiting their coffee as Haruka stands over them. Yukari and Kitsune look thoroughly worn out as they are black around the eyes with bags hanging from them. Tiny bubbles pop around their heads, showing their intense hangovers. The rest of the residents had gathered around.

"That . . . was a real hell-raiser we had yesterday," Yukari moaned.

"It's a pity that I can't remember much," Kitsune said. "So who won?"

"It was a tie!" Tomo exclaimed excitedly at them as she leans over the table at them while laying hands on it.

"Not so loud, you ass!" Yukari rasped.

"Yeah," Kitsune agreed curtly. "My head still feels like it's being worked over with a sledgehammer!"

"So it was a tie, eh?" Yukari groaned, then makes a big sniff while looking at Kitsune.

"That's what she said," Kitsune answered as she looks back at Yukari.

Both stare at the other for a few seconds.

"Rematch?" Kitsune smirked.

"Sure," Yukari grinned.

"No rematch," Haruka said firmly with a frown while casually knocking their heads together, causing a hollow clunking sound.

"Argh, damn it, Haruka!" Yukari snarled lazily with a frown while holding her head.

"Geez, we're only joking!" Kitsune rasped loudly with a matching frown and mimicking Yukari.

Next, they lay across the table in mirroring poses, complete with a long loud pained groan as each seem as if they are about to melt across it.

"Wanna go for a drink later?" Yukari suddenly moaned.

"Sure," Kitsune moaned back.

"No more drinks," Haruka said firmly with a frown, this time casually slapping them across the backs of their heads simultaneously with a large white fan that she had instantly whipped out. Once again causing the two hangover victims to groan loudly with pain as they clasp at their heads.

Yukari and Kitsune finally get their coffee and began sipping them in order to dispel their hangovers. Later, when they both recover, it is decided that Yukari and Nyamo are to spend the night at the Hinata Sou then leave tomorrow morning. By evening came, Yukari and Kitsune are well over their hangover as they are eating a meal at the table.

It's after supper when they are sitting on the sofa that Kaolla jumps onto Yukari's lap, straddling her, much to Yukari's bewilderment.

"Take me for a ride, Yukari!" Kaolla pleaded while bouncing in her lap and shaking her by the shoulders. "Come on, take me for a ride!"

"Kaolla-chan, I don't think you're up to it," Chiyo-chan moaned with a forced smile.

"Hey, what about me?" Tomo exclaimed. "I've ridden with her! I'd love to go for a ride with her again!"

"Is there any chance that I can go for a ride too, Yukari-chan!?" Sarah asked eagerly.

Yukari looks between the three of them, then makes a devious close-eyed smile.

"Why not," she stated.

"Hurray! Hurray!" Kaolla cheered as she gets up and starts jumping around. "A ride with Yukari! A ride with Yukari!"

The combined Azu and Hinata gang look at them with bewildered expressions as they sweatdrop.

"If Tomo enjoys riding with Yukari," Kagura said, "then it only stands to reason that Sarah and Kaolla-chan will."

"Nyamo-chan," Keitaro asked her with uneasy close-eyed expression and tone. "Is her driving really as reckless as we had just witnessed yesterday?"

"No," she answered with matching tone and expression. "She's usually a lot more reckless than that."

Yukari races out to the car, followed closely by Tomo, Sarah, and Kaolla. They get in and buckle up. The residents all go outside to watch them getting ready to leave.

"Will they truly be okay?" Naru asked Nyamo.

"Tomo might be okay," she answered somberly as a faint sweatdrop goes down the side of her face. "But I don't know about Kaolla or Sarah-chan. They might each wind up like Chiyo-chan."

Chiyo-chan shivers in response as she moans waveringly with a ghostly expression.

"You think we ought to stop them?" Shinobu asked with unease.

But the car engine roars to life and begins swiveling all over the courtyard.

"Too late," Kitsune answered dryly with opened eyes.

Finally the car stops, before it zooms over the stairs. Anotherwords, fly.
