-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryoki Tachibana
Casually invites you to his 3rd annual
Hatsumode Party
To take place at the
Fukahara Shrine
10:30 p.m.
"No pitchforks, no guns, no weapons or sharp items of any kind please."
Black Tie Welcome

"Ooohhh… this has to be, like, the coolest Hatsumode ever, now that you're back!" Akane exclaimed.

"Uh, yeah, sure Akane… I take it you're going to drag me along?" Hatsumi tiredly asked.

"Are you insane! Of course I am! You have to come! Please big sis! Please!" Akane whined.

"Whatever Akane… just leave me alone okay?" Hatsumi carelessly said, putting her head back down on her bed. It was New Year's Eve, and it was only 12:00 in the afternoon. Apparently there was a party that occurred annually and Akane was begging her to come. When she said Ryoki planned it, Hatsumi's eyes lit up. Akane knew she struck a chord. A familiar one…

Later that day…

"Akane, what are you wearing?" Hatsumi asked the little sister, unsure of what to wear…

"Oh, just this and that… you'll see!" Akane said in a bitter tone. She wanted to be way cooler looking than Hatsumi so she had planned a really gorgeous, drop dead outfit that Hatsumi would never, never ever, beat.

"Don't tell me you're going to wear that Gucci mini with the new thin scarf and a baby tee tank top with a sweater or blazer?" Hatsumi asked.

"HOW DID YOU KNOW? NO FAIR!" Akane cried.

"Akane, that's what you always wear to cool parties." Hatsumi replied.

"Yeah, but mom doesn't take me out shopping as often anymore…" Akane quietly murmured, looking down.

"Hey, I got an idea, let's go shopping! My treat!" Hatsumi asked her little sister.

"No way! REALLY? OH thank you so much Hatsumi, you're the best!" Akane exclaimed, starry-eyed.

"C'mon, go put on something, like Juicy sweats; we gotta go if we want lots of time to try on stuff!" Hatsumi replied, motioning Akane to hurry up.

"Kay, give me a sec." Akane quickly said, closing her door and getting dressed. Hatsumi went over to the kitchen and talked to their mom.

"We just need a car, that's all; I'll pay for the clothes." Hatsumi asked Mrs. Narita.

"Sure honey, and oh, here take this, for lunch or snack or extra shopping money." Mrs. Narita replied, handing Hatsumi 10,000 yen. (Roughly 100 Canadian dollars)

"But, mom don't you need this?" Hatsumi asked her mother.

"Nope, it's just my New Year bonus. You know how the Tachibanas have been very generous lately. Actually I hear Ryoki is planning a getaway for all of us in the complex. A very nice boy may I add…" Mrs. Narita replied.

"Wow… ok thanks mom, I better be go-" Was all Hatsumi could say, before Akane came charging out yelling, "I'm READY Hatsumi!"

"Go on, Hatsumi. Have fun! Don't be late for supper! And be back by 5:00! Call me if there are any problems!" Mrs. Narita shooed them to the door.

"Ok, bye mom!" Hatsumi and Akane exclaimed in unison, blowing their mother air kisses, and then opening the door and closing it.

"Ah…finally, some peace and quiet! Now I can read my book without interruptions!" Mrs. Narita said happily, sitting down on her reading chair and opening up a book.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ryoki! Hold on, wait. That complex vacation idea of yours, it's a great one! We'll have to talk later on to plan all the details out though." Mrs. Tachibana said to her son.

"Fine mom, now if you'll excuse me, I still have to finish planning my Hatsumode party. Bye." Ryoki bitterly said, before shutting the door close and walking outside.

"Stupid mother…" Ryoki mumbled to himself.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh my, gosh that was so much fun! And we'll be like totally, the hottest babes at the Hatsumode party tonight!" Akane exclaimed, landing on her bed with a heavy sigh.

The room was filled to the ceiling with shopping bags, and receipts.

"You're right Akane, though I have to admit, I haven't had this much fun since… well let's just keep it at that!" Hatsumi replied, smiling.

"Girls, dinner's ready!" Mrs. Narita announced from the kitchen.

"Okay!" both girls replied in unison.

The family sat down and had their dinner, while Hikaru was sipping loudly from his sippy cup.

"Hey! Hikaru, slow down! You don't want to choke on your juice!" Akane laughed at Hikaru.

"Okay!" Hikaru beamed a smile and put down his sippy cup.

Everyone laughed and had a good dinner, until it was getting late.

"Girls, you better go get dressed for the Hatsumode party. You don't want to disappoint Ryoki by being late." Mr. Narita said.

"Ok dad!" Akane chirped.

"Let's go Akane." Hatsumi looked at her sister. The two girls quickly dismissed themselves from the table and went to their room.

Akane began getting dressed in her new outfit, wearing a black and pink, plaid pattern pleated skirt, with a white tank top, shoulders and top arms covered with bright pink sequins, all in different individual pink colours, half shirt wrap, with a bow just right below her breastbone. She also wore Hatsumi's pink cord cap, with her hair down, in layers. For shoes, she wore pink Jimmy Choo heels. Accessories, she wore pink bangle bracelets and a pink and white pearl necklace, and long earrings, with three thin silver lines, with pink crystals on the ends. Topped off with a nude shade of pink lip-gloss and mascara, and some sprits of perfume, she looked like a pink diamond entirely.

Hatsumi however was breath-taking too. She wore a blue pleated skirt, with a black shoulder length top, with silver sequins around her bust, and a diagonal line in between, and around the hem line too. She wore similar earrings to Akane's, only with blue crystals. She wore Jimmy Choo black heels, but with more straps. She put her hair into this really fresh look, some front bangs hanging and some clipped back with a blue crystal clip. She also wore a thin black headband, which poofed the front of her hair up and made the look complete. For a final touch, she put on blue and black bangle bracelets. Finally, she sprayed on some perfume, put on the same nude pink lip-gloss that Akane used and some mascara and then gave herself a look in the mirror.

"Sweet!" Both girls said in unison. Hatsumi looked at her watch, which was a simple brown belt with a silver face, and saw the time.

"Oh shoot its 9:45! We gotta go now, since the drive is almost half an hour, and with the traffic and who knows how many people Ryoki invited?" Hatsumi worriedly said.

"Ok sis, let's go!" Akane replied, the two girls leaving their room, and getting complete shocks and awes from their family.

"OH MY GOODNESS! LOOK AT YOU TWO SOSPHICATED WOMEN!" Mrs. Narita screamed.

"Wow, girls, don't you think that's a little too extreme?" Mr. Narita said.

"Dad! It's not that bad!" Akane replied.

"Ok, ok, now let's go girls, I'll drop you off." Mr. Narita replied, grabbing his car keys from his coat pocket in the closet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Steve, who has yet to arrive?" Ryoki asked the bouncer.

"Um, let's see, just the Yagis and the Naritas, um I think that's pret-" Steve the bouncer said, before he heard a car door slam.

"Hey! We're here, sorry we're a little late!" Akane waved.

"Well, you can pretty much say everyone's here now." Steve said, pointing to the Narita sisters and the other car that was unloading Subaru and his sister Asahi.

"Perfect, after they get in, close the doors and put up a sign saying 'Closed' ok?" Ryoki asked Steve.

"No problem Mr. Tachibana." Steve answered.

20 Minutes Later…

"Lose Control" by Missy Elliot was blaring through the speakers, as the teenagers danced, some hanging out by the bar. Ryoki, being the sensible fellow as he was, gave the bartender a list of people that were 19 or over that was allowed to drink alcohol, and the list of 18 and under that weren't allowed, were substituted with choices of pop, or Shirley temple, or a Virgin Bloody Mary.

"Hatsumi! I'm going to the bathroom!" Akane shouted out to her sister.

"Okay!" Hatsumi shouted back.

Akane walked over to the back of the shrine, and opened a door, which led to a small heated pathway to the washrooms ahead. She went to the bathroom, and when she came out, she heard a voice, and a familiar one at that.

"Hey Akane!" Kazama said, giving her a friendly wave.

Akane turned around and saw Kazama, Shinogu's old roommate.

"Hey Kazama, how's it hanging?" Akane asked.

"Not much… are you going out with anyone right now?" Kazama asked.

"Uhh… no, not at the moment." Akane answered.

"Well then, you wouldn't mind if I were to ask you out right now?" Kazama asked Akane.

"Sure, why not?" Akane excitedly answered.

"Then come here, I want to take you someplace…" Kazama said, reaching out his hand to Akane.

"Okay!" Akane replied, grabbing his hand. He took her to the back of the Fukahara Shrine, which had a small hut. The inside wasn't very fancy; it pretty much just had four walls and a window. Kazama led Akane in, shut the door and locked it.

"Kazama what are you doing?" Akane asked, now a little afraid. Kazama gave no response. "Kazama?" Akane asked again. Kazama turned around and walked up to Akane in the small hut with an evil look in his eyes.

"Mine now…" Kazama mumbled to himself.

"Kazama?" Akane asked again, with a little hesitation to her voice, backing away from Kazama, only to bump into the wall behind her. Trapped, Kazama took her shoulders and pulled her towards him, for a painful kiss. "Mmmm." Akane moaned. Since Akane opened her mouth to moan, Kazama took this opportunity to shove his tongue into her mouth. He then slammed her down onto the floor, and without breaking the kiss, put his hands on her little skirt and began unzipping it.

"Kazama what are you doing?" Akane cried out.

"What the hell do you think I'm gonna do?" Kazama replied. He finally got the annoying zipper down and pulled the skirt off her legs. What only remained was a very sexy red thong.

"Kazama, no, please!" Akane cried.

"Shut up!" Kazama yelled, slapping Akane in the face. Akane quickly lost sight and her cheek throbbed painfully. Kazama had the thong off, and was now unzipping his own pants. Akane squirmed and tried to escape, but Kazama had his entire body pinning her down. He rubbed himself against her and tried to open Akane's legs wider. Akane was struggling to keep them closed, but Kazama was too strong for her.

"No!" Akane cried out.

"Shut the hell up!" Kazama yelled back at her. He was fortunate that there was loud music playing in the shrine so it was able to drown out the yelling and screaming. He shoved his throbbing member inside Akane and pushed into her without any hesitation. Akane cried out in pain. She quickly turned around and got an idea. Kazama, who had taken some weight off Akane's body to push his erecting member in, was too busy thinking about the pleasure he was receiving to notice Akane punch him in the face, and then bite him.

"Owww, bitch! What the fuck was that? Stop it!" Kazama yelled at her, and at the same time, pulling his throbbing erection out of Akane. She took this time to put on her thong and skirt, and was halfway to the door, when Kazama pushed her down again once more.

Akane fought back with a kick in the balls, and as every girl or guy should know, it does hurt really badly there, and Kazama was left alone on the floor curled up in the fetal position, twitching in pain. Akane ran back to the Fukahara Shrine and tried to find Hatsumi.

"Akane! What's wrong?" Subaru asked.

"Nothing! Where's Hatsumi?" Akane cried out.

"I think over by the bar. Are you ok?" Subaru asked once more.

"No! I have to go, bye!" Akane yelled out before storming off to find her sister.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I still don't see why you wanted to go home so soon Akane, you know we're going to miss the countdown to the New Year." Hatsumi told her sister, through the bathroom door that was separating them.

"I'm just really tired ok?" Akane replied to her caring sister. 'Hatsumi would die if she knew… no one has to know except me... what Kazama did was horrible…I need to stay away from him forever.' Akane thought to herself. Little did she know a lot more people cared about her than she thought…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something's wrong with Akane… I can just feel it. Whatever it is, I'm going to help her with it...' Subaru thought to himself.
