Straight to the story

When Natsuki awoke, it was dark. Ignoring the throbbing pain in her head and back, she stood up and looked around, there was no sign of her uncle. With a sigh, she staggered back to her room, the pain in her back not letting her walk right. She lay down on her bed and looked up at the ceiling. She began to drift off to sleep, but never managed it, because there was a noise coming from her window. She got up from the bed and walked over to her window in time to see some pebbles hit the glass. She opened the window and looked out. Mai was standing on the ground below. When she caught sight of Natsuki she waved and mouthed the word, "Party". Natsuki nodded happily and jumped out the window. (It wasn't that high off the ground.) "Where?" Natsuki asked, getting to his feet.

"Chie's," Mai said. "C'mon we're late."

"Ok," Natsuki said, as they both walked to Chie's house.

"It's just us, then?" Mai asked, Nao grabbed a beer can and tossed it to Natsuki. "Yeah, we had more people but they already left and well, it was kind of short notice," Chie said boredly.

"hm" Natsuki said, taking a gulp of her beer.

"So, Pup, where did you get all those bruises from?" Nao asked.

"Oh, these, umm, my bike." Natsuki said while drinking the rest of her beer.

A few minutes later-

"Hey guys let's play truth or dare!" Aoi said. Everyone gathered in front of Chie's TV. "Who wants to start?"

"I will, Natsuki, truth or dare." Nao said.

"hum, dare." Natsuki said

Nao grow a big sly smile and said "I dare you to kiss" Nao pauses "Mai."

Natsuki, Mai, and Mikoto said at the same time "NO!!!!"

"Oh, come on, just a quick one." Chie said "I promises no pictures will be taken."

Natsuki looks at Mai for an answer then Mai says "Well it wouldn't hurt…"

"Fine, but really quick ok." Natsuki states. Natsuki and Mai come closer together, there lips are now just mere millimeters away, Natsuki and Mai close their eyes, and they kiss. –camera flashes- Natsuki and Mai looks up, giving Chie death glairs in-tell Chie says "Oi, don't look at me, Nao took the picture."

"What, I never made that promises." Nao said in defense.

"Nao you have 3 seconds to hand over the phone…1-2-3" Natsuki said right before attacking. It took everyone there to restrain Natsuki.

Mai yawns, then says "Come on Natsuki lets take you home." Natsuki nods then tries to get up, but fails and falls back down. Mai asks "Natsuki how many beers have you had?"

Natsuki looks at Mai and says "Let's see, this one would 6, I have had 6 –hiccup- beers"

Mai shakes her head disapprovingly "Well, then come on lets get you home."

Natsuki's house-

"Well, here's your house, good night Natsuki" Mai said.

"Good night Mai..." Natsuki slurred. She tossed her empty beer can into a trash can but missed and when Mai had gone, she stumbled inside her house. She shut the door behind her. "Where were you?" said an angry voice. Natsuki turned around. "Eh?" Her uncle came out of the shadows and stood facing Natsuki. "I said...where were you?" he growled.

"I...w-was with...my...my..." Natsuki started.

"I smell beer," her uncle interrupted. "You're drunk."

"I-I'm not...d-drunk," She said, staring at her uncle with a slightly unfocused look in her eyes and swaying on the spot. "Y-you're drunk..." Natsuki said.

"Pathetic," said the older man, giving Natsuki a look of pure hatred before kicking her in the stomach.

"Urgh..." Natsuki moaned, she doubled over, wrapping both arms around her stomach." I-told-you-no-drinking!" the man screamed, emphasizing each word with a kick to her stomach and side. She was too drunk to scream, she just groaned and sunk to the floor. The older man continued to kick Natsuki for another few minutes until he was tired. Throwing his niece another dirty look, the uncle walked off. Natsuki laid on the floor half-conscious, not moving, and breathing heavily. She was drenched in cold sweat and shaking uncontrollably. A small cough escaped her lips as she finally opened her eyes. She was able to sit up and lean against the wall, coughing. The coughs did not subside, but intensified and it was a while before Natsuki realized she was coughing up something wet. She put her fingers to it and, thought the moonlight that shone through the window, she could see it was blood. She got shakily to her feet and swayed dangerously on the spot. She gripped the wall and closed his eyes. Finally, she was steady enough to walk. Or so she thought. Natsuki was seeing double and had quite a lot of trouble reaching the stairs. When she finally did, she began to walk up the stairs uncertainly, clinging tightly to the rail. The coughing had not stopped and she could feel blood on her chin. Natsuki continued to make her way up the stairs until she reached the bathroom and went inside. At once, she felt her stomach churn horribly and she ran to the toilet. She gripped the sides as she threw up. Natsuki spit out whatever was left in her mouth and sat there, shaking and feeling lightheaded. She reached over and flushed the toilet as she leaned back against the wall, trying desperately to stay conscious. She gripped the wall for support and staggered over to the sink. After cleaning her face and removing her hair tie, she left the bathroom. When Natsuki was in her room, she collapsed onto her unmade bed. Without turning on the light or undressing, she turned to the side, gave a cough, and drifted off to sleep.
