Author's note: Yes! I managed to update at a normal time!! School starts tomorrow though….

When we left off, everyone had passed out and Aido locked them all in with one key, which now resides with him and only him. Hopefully.

Yuuki was the first of everyone to awaken. What she woke up to, however, was so disturbing she hoped she was still sleeping. Everyone but Aido-senpai was dressed up in ridiculous costumes, Zero and Kaname-sama in particular. The bikini was probably was most alarming and Yuuki opted to look away. There wasn't much else she could look at though, so the whole purpose was in vain.

Rima woke up next. The whole scene was taken in very slowly. Shiki had shown everyone the box? Damn and she thought that he wasn't ever going to tell anyone! Not that it really mattered of course, but she had a strange feeling he was going to regret. She got up warily and made to open the door; it was locked with a padlock to which she couldn't find a key. Well, shit.

She was about to try the window when she realized it was nailed shut someone was obviously desperate to keep them in this room. But who? Rima wondered. At least she could prove that alcohol was fine without anyone escaping. She smirked when she saw Kiryuu in his dress. So what if it was making people do weird things? It wasn't like it was that bad.

Kain stirred and Rima and Yuuki both winced, at that moment realizing that the other was awake and (in Yuuki's case) this was not some highly disturbing dream Kain observed his surroundings with no expression on his face. For some odd reason Yuuki and Rima found this slightly more alarming than if he'd had an actual facial expression. They waited in silence and watched as Kain looked at his attire. Then he fainted. The thud his made when his body hit the floor was like a trigger; in seconds everyone else was awake and staring at one another, ignoring the vampire on the ground.

Shiki looked at his box and paled. No! Not his secret box! Only Rima and Ichijou were allowed to know about that! Shiki looked in horror as he saw Zero was wearing his wedding dress!!

Hell no! That was Shiki's! Next he saw his favorite pink dress was in tears on the ground next to Ichijou and Ruka. If he wasn't so absolutely in love with Rima he just might've killed her. But things didn't work like that so the dark haired vampire sat down and pouted. Yes, Shiki pouted.

Ruka was totally appalled at the whole situation. How did this happen? Oh yeah, Rima rebelled, she and Kain literally fell in and before Ruka could really refuse the whole week long thing, Kaname-sama had burst through the door and she had figured, if he could do it, she would too. Damn it all!

Ichijou looked at his bed and the night came rushing back to him. Yuuki had puked on his bed! How uncool was that? His head was feeling quite fuzzy and he was torn between sleeping through the rest of the week or killing Rima. Nah, Shiki would be mad if Ichijou killed Rima. He looked at Kaname-sama and Kiryuu. They had similar expressions on their faces and Ichijou resisted the urge to jump out the window. That was about when he noticed the nails that held the window shut. His eyes grew. He moved over to where he kept his hammer collection and nails. Gone. And one of the hammers had been used, he could tell. Someone in here was up to no good. And Ichijou made it his mission to play Sherlock and find this criminal. Ichijou grimaced. Whoever it was in some serious shit by the look on Kaname-sama's face.

Zero was more than pissed. He would've torn of Shiki's stupid wedding dress had he not have been missing his clothes. He wasn't stuck in this thing was he? Was it worth the pockey? No but it sure as hell worth the look on Kuran's face, he noted. The look was more dangerous than the black bikini he was now in. Zero cackled. At least he wasn't wearing that thing. Where the hell had Shiki gotten that thing?! He walked over to the door and tried opening it. It was locked. Zero swallowed. No way. He was not stuck with this freak show, was he? Yes, yes he was.

"It's locked," Zero said unnecessarily. Everyone stared. Kaname tried to blast it open. It didn't work. What was blocking his power? One by one, all the vampires tried to open the door using their abilities. Something seemed to be stopping them.

"It's the door," Ruka declared. Hell would freeze her over before she admitted that she was having trouble. It was actually sad how no one noticed the sadistic smile on Aido's face. But it was there, planted by his scheming, genius mind.

"Akatsuki, just what in the hell are you doing?" Ruka demanded suddenly. Everyone turned and t their amazement, he was actually drinking more of what had cause this whole thing.

"From what I see, this stuff makes the pain go away," he said stoically.

"He's acting just like Shiki," Rima noted. Surrendering, Rima filled a glass and took a sip. "I figure we might as well finish what we started since we're all stuck here."

"After what happened?" Ruka asked incredulously. Rims shrugged.

"Who knows? Maybe we'll become immune to it or something," she suggested. Fat chance but when people are desperate (and are in the middle of a hang over), anything sounds possible.

Slowly, glasses were reluctantly filled, in hopes of banishing thoughts of depression and that fact that they were stuck. Aido watched in pure amazement. When everyone had woken up he had been sure that it was all over. It looked like the drinking was muting everyone's abilities. Impressive. Aido wondered how far they would all go before they cracked and gave up to which, Aido would "find" the key and be the hero. His plan was getting better and better. He probably would've been caught by now, but they were all to busy with the sake to be paying any attention to what he was doing. Ichijou approached Aido.

"You aren't drinking?" he asked suspiciously. Uh oh. Aido thought of all the believable things he could say. "You did it didn't you?" Ichijou asked in a low voice.

"Don't rat me out," Aido begged as quietly as he could. Ichijou seemed to think for a moment.

"Edit me out and I won't," he promised. Aido frowned. It wasn't like Ichijou did much interesting stuff anyway. He just cried and that was something Aido could catch easily.

"Deal," he grumbled.

Ichijou turned traitor? Or will he rat Aido out in the end? We'll have to find out later
