SPIN THE BOTTLE

Decisions

"It's been raining for days, Ban!" Ginji whined.

"Stop whining," Ban said, punching the top of Ginji's head. He took a sip of coffee.

"You know," Paul yawned, drying a coffee cup, "I would normally throw you out. You have no idea how much I want to."

"Shaddap!" Ban said, grumpily.

Paul sighed then turned to Natsumi, "How'll you be going home, Natsumi?"

"I don't know…" Natsumi said, worriedly looking out of the Honky Tonk's window.

They heard a tingle of bells.

"Sorry, we're closed now," Natsumi said, cheerfully when she realized it was Teshimine, "Oh! Sorry mister!"

"That's not a problem," Teshimine said, smiling.

"Teshimine!" Ginji squealed happily, becoming chibi and hugging him.

"Hey kiddo," he replied, prying him off his head and throwing him down, "Ban." He nodded. Ban let out a cloud of smoke in reply.

"Natsumi," Teshimine said, turning to Natsumi, "Aren't you supposed to be home?"

"Yeah, but see I don't know how to go home," Natsumi replied, sadly.

"If you want to, I'll take you back," Ginji said, almost sounding hopeful.

"No you retard, you can't," Ban said, putting out his cigarette, "Rain, remember? You'll give her a shock."

"Oh yeah."

"Natsumi, I have spare rooms. We'll call your parents and tell them the situation. They're probably worried," Paul said, handing her his cell phone.

"Thanks, mister Paul!" Natsumi said, happily dialing a number. As she spoke to her mother, Teshimine sat down next to Ginji.

They heard the tingle of the bells again and everyone, except Natsumi, looked up.

A man wearing a beige vest with a pretty girl and a dog walked in, all soaking.

"Shido! Madoka!" Ginji said, happily.

"Why not Mozart?" muttered Ban to himself then punched Ginji.

"What was that for?" Ginji asked, turning around, teary-eyed.

"Don't be a stupid fuck-up. Every time someone you know comes in, you go all gay and happy. You see them almost every fucking day."

"Don't be so cold, Ban," Ginji said, sadly.

"Hey Ginji," Shido greeted, interrupting the conversation from getting to heated up as he led Madoka to a seat at a table.

"Hi, Ginji!" Madoka said, brightly, "And of course Ban!"

"Madoka, your dog seems to be drooling a lot today. Was it the rain?" Teshimine said, trying to hold back the slobbery dog.

Madoka smiled, "He must like you, Teshimine! I didn't know you were here!"

Shido coughed and Mozart stopped forcing his way to Teshimine.

"Damn dog," Teshimine muttered so that Madoka wouldn't hear him.

"Madoka, are you cold?" Shido asked, turning to Madoka. Then he realized that she was completely drenched and her clothing was sticking to her, outlining her body.

He gulped.

"No, I'm fine," Madoka smiled, "Is something the matter?" she added, realizing Shido's sudden lack of talk.

"Uh, no," Shido said, getting back his voice. He took off his vest and put it on Madoka, holding his animal instincts back with great mounds of difficulty.

"Wha-?" Madoka began, confused, feeling his vest.

"I'm sure you are cold," Shido said sharply, "Use it."

Madoka smiled warmly, "Thank you."

Shido nodded and walked over to Ban and Ginji and sat beside Ban, who muttered, "Bet that was hard," with a smirk to top it all off.

"Shut your trap, Midou…" Shido murmured back, coldly.

Again, a tinkle of bells. Kazuki, Juubei, Sakura and Himiko entered the small café.

Ginji was about to do his normal routines when he stopped and sat down with a dull, "Hi."

"Hi Ginji!" replied Kazuki, Juubei and Sakura.

"What's the matter, Ginji?" Himiko said, eyeing him, "Has Ban been a bitch again?"

"Hey, watch your language!" Ban said, glaring at her.

"Hark who's talking," Himiko rolled her eyes.

"Almost the whole gang is here!" Natsumi realized as she helped Paul put away the dishes.

"I'll help," Ginji said, standing up quickly. Ban, Shido and Teshimine all smirked.

"So, Madoka, how's your violin concerto going on?" Himiko said, sitting next to her and patting Mozart.

"Fine!" Madoka said, brightly, "Shido's been listening to me. He's been a good audience!"

Black bangs of hair covered Shido's face as he desperately tried to hide the creeping blush.

"What else does Shido help you with, Madoka?" Kazuki asked politely, yet clearly amused. Shido shot him a death glare.

"Laundry…and he gets his animal friends to entertain us when we're really bored…" Madoka replied, innocently. Ban opened his mouth for a remark when-

"Juubei," Shido cut in, agitatedly, "How's the whole joke revolution thing going on?"

"Want to hear a few of them?" Juubei said, his normal monotonous tone sounding excited.

Sakura waved frantically to Shido, mouthing 'Don't you DARE! I can't STAND to hear it again!' Preventing himself from laughing he said "I'm sure one day we can sit and listen through it. Not now. Sorry."

Juubei turned to Sakura, "You know, I felt you waving around to him." Sakura flushed, embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Juubei! I've just heard the same jokes again and again that I…"

But most of the café was alreadylaughing.

"Hey, I made them laugh!" Juubei said, happily, which only made them laugh more.

An hour later, everyone felt that death was probably more fun than sitting around.

"Aw, come on guys!" Natsumi said, her normal extra-cheerful mood weakening, "Don't look so…dead."

"We can't help it now, can we?" Ban said, sighing.

"Then let's play a game!"

"A g-g-game?" spluttered Ban, not believing his ears, "Natsumi, do you know the age range in here?"

"Not as in hide-and-seek!" Natsumi said, heatedly. Somehow, a sort of evil schoolgirl look fell upon her like an aura.

"As in…?" Kazuki asked, waiting to see what adult game a high school girl could think up.

"As in spin the bottle!"

A/N: Yeah, for those who have already read a story called 'spin the bottle', I am Kenshoumaru. Some idiot reported me twice so I had to get a new id. Anyway, don't think I'm copying it! ;) If anyone's read this, seeing as you had the time, please write a review. One line is more than enough!
