Temporary death had passed and Quietus woke up to find himself lying on his bed. It was finally September 21. The twin's birthday.
"I guess I'll have to start the wheel of scheme…" He smirked as he got out of bed and put on his glasses, "Ah… What a wonderful day!"
While Quietus went over to where Toki slept, Hakkai and Sanzo were outside scheming for Quietus.
"Ah… What a wonderful day!" Hakkai gleefully pointed out to Sanzo.
"I know… You say this almost everyday when it's not raining…" Sanzo sighed as he looked at his brunette lover.
As always, it's that same old smile that always brightens up the first moments of daytime…"So… About the plan… I'll tell Goku what to do." Hakkai planned, "But for the meantime, we better go over to the shop to pick up the 'you-know-what'."
"Hmm… So how do we set these two up?" Quietus asked Toki.
"A hotel room?" Toki thought out loud.
"Hmm… I guess you're right!" Quietus laughed, "I'll make reservations for a room in the Kama Sutra Hotel!"
"The Kama Sutra Hotel?!?" Sanzo's jaw dropped as he overheard Hakkai's plan to Goku.
"Yes, the Kama Sutra Hotel…" Hakkai smiled, "Anyway, I want you to…"
"… Take them to a room where they would be locked in and won't be released 'till the next day!" Quietus said thoughtfully, Toki sweatdropping at every piece of the plan.
"I'll go pick up the 'you-know-what' from the shop…" Toki said as he set out of the manor.
"I'll go take a nice warm bath while I make reservations…" Quietus sighed as he bid Toki farewell.

"Ahh… The Kama Sutra Hotel…" Gojyo sighed as Quietus told him about the plan, "That place is the best hotel choice yet! A copy of Kama Sutra in every hotel room! So which room is it?"
"Here's the room number… I'm certain that Toki has set up the 'you-know-what' there already." Quietus grinned as he passed a piece of paper to the crimson-haired man, "Now… How are the decors for the party?"
"They're all exactly as Hibi planned in the letter." Gojyo said as he consulted a letter sent from London, "Everything in earthy colors, the curtains a fine shade of emerald green and all the best specialties of the house being cooked in the kitchen. But there are some tweaks…"
"Hakkai's chosen jazz music to be played onstage… And we've only reserved one table for us. Mmmhmm… So, Gojyo, don't forget our plan after the party. Get them and yank them out of here!" Quietus smiled as he finished plotting, "We'll just see what comes in the morning… Bye-bye!"
Unfortunately, for both Quietus and Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo had swapped plots and made their own plans behind their backs…
"So, Goku… What do you think, you'll turn off the lights and I blindfold all of them. Yaone-san's gonna come over with her sleeping gas."
"Yaone? Isn't she that girl who you slept with last night?" Goku asked innocently.
"Shaddap! Don't speak of that here! Don't you know that if her lover finds out that I sleep with her, I'll get my ass kicked badly?" Gojyo clasped his hand over the boy's mouth.
"Okay!"
"And need I mention that your girlfriend is that guy's sister?"
"Meep."
"And if he finds out about what we're doing, we'll surely get our asses kicked…" Gojyo shook the boy while he panicked.
"Hai-!"
"Anyway," Gojyo continued, "I'll carry Sanzo, you carry Qui, Lirin carries Hakkai and my brother's gonna come over to carry Toki. Got that? Yaone's got the cameras set up in both rooms. We've already informed the hotel about the plan, too."
"Hai-!" Goku responded. Just then, a bouncy girl about Goku's age came bounding into the bar wearing her limiters.
"Lirin!" Goku greeted his girlfriend who greeted him back with a cheery 'Yahoo!'
"So, are we ready to execute plan 'Birthday Surprise'?" Lirin asked the two.
"We just need to wait for Jien and Yaone." Gojyo said, "While waiting, would you like to drink something?"
"Oh! I'd take Pepsi in a can, please!" Lirin said cheerfully. Goku picked up a cold one from the fridge and tossed it to the cheery demon, "Arigatou!"
"Oh! Are we late?" Two demons with limiters came into the bar. One was female, wearing a tight-fitting halter-top and a miniskirt while her companion was dressed in familiar casuals that could be labeled as 'street'.
"You're just in time… It's just a half-hour before the party…" Gojyo consulted his wristwatch, "Hey, Jien. Hey, Yaone."
"Yo bro, 'sup!" Jien greeted his brother in a street fashion. Gojyo's eyebrow rose when he took a look at what his brother was currently wearing.
"I thought you were going gothic…"
"What's wrong with having some bling-bling around, bro? And the name is Dokugakuji! I'm known by that name by my hommies! I've made myself a honcho to 'em…" Jien asked before focusing on Yaone and commenting, "Hey Yaone, if yo' skirt keeps getting shorter, you gonna give men a happy birthday with that badonkadonk ass yo' got there!"
His remark was met with the hard slap of Yaone's hand.
"You speak that way about me again and I'm gonna hit you harder!"
"Um… Yaone, what he's saying is right… Your skirt gets shorter and you're gonna give every man in this room a sight of your… how do I say this… ass?" Gojyo pointed out.
"Oh… Thank goodness I've got a pair of shorts here…"
"Go change. And Doku-whatever your name is… You're still my bro, bro! SHA JIEN!!"
"Werd… I getcha point, bro…"

And so time passed and it was finally time for the party. The bar was alive with people enjoying the booze and the music. Hakkai, Sanzo, Quietus, Toki, Gojyo and Goku were enjoying a great birthday bash with all the food and booze any man could wish for.
"To the twins!" Gojyo rose his glass in cheers.
"Kampai!" Goku laughed as everyone's glasses met.
"Well then, aren't we lucky at how many gifts we've got this morning from Hibi-chan and Yuri-san?" Hakkai asked his brother.
"Ah! Two big packages for us… The only thing is that besides designer clothes and new weapons to add to the weapons collection in the training area she's given us some strange items…" Quietus said.
"Like those matching briefs with the words 'nice ass' written on them?" Toki asked.
"Oi! Don't mention them!" Quietus said shocked.
Sanzo took a sip of his booze and said, "I told you there would be nothing but trouble from that hebi onna…"
"Time to execute plan 'Birthday Surprise'!" Lirin signaled to Gojyo.
"Oi, I'll be back. Gotta use the little boy's room…" Gojyo said as he walked in the direction of the restrooms. But when he was sure none of them could catch him, he ran to the main light switch and turned all the lights off. Yaone employed her scentless sleeping gas and made sure everyone but her, Gojyo, Jien, Goku and Lirin were asleep. The five put on their night vision goggles and snatched their respective victims.
"Ready?" Gojyo asked his partners-in-crime.
"Ready!" Everyone else said in unison.
And so off they went, carrying the sleeping bodies to the hotel and dumping them into their respective rooms and locking them in. The five have also reserved rooms and were now in Yaone's room to see what would happen next…
"Sanzo… What happened to us?" Hakkai awoke in a sensual room with a grand bed, candles illuminating the whole room. He was on the floor against Sanzo's chest. They seemed to have been dumped into the room as if they were hostages. Sanzo awoke and tried to open the door.
"Damn! It's locked from the outside! We have no other choice but to stay here…"
"But what do we do while we're here?"
"Let's see what's in this room…"
"Oh? What's this?" Hakkai spotted a little dining spot where there was some food covered by a silver dome, "Oysters on the half-shell… Sanzo, why don't we stop worrying? This room looks safe enough…"
Toki was the first to awake in the room. Quietus was in the corner opposite him, his face illuminated by the fire of the fireplace.
"Oi, Quietus…" Toki shook the brunette awake, "Where are we?"
Quietus looked around. The bedroom was elegant and home-like. The bed was covered in a warm scarlet quilt. He got up and tried the door.
"We're locked in…" Quietus remarked, "What do we do now?"
"Let's look around…" Toki suggested, "We might find another way to get out of this mess…"
"What's that smell?" Quietus noted something with scent coming from beside the bed, "… an oil burner?"
"Oooh! Jackpot! They've discovered the aphrodisiacs!" Yaone cheered with the rest of the gang.
"I wanna see some action, homies!" Jien remarked.
"Just be patient…" Gojyo grinned.
"We're hungry!" Goku and Lirin demanded.
