Chapter 7

Ending: Crazy Night

Unending praise resounds at the curtain call; shall it echo further and louder? The buzzer sounds, and the curtains rise; On one, two, three, let us begin!

Pushing the thoughts about him becoming a new meal on the menu, Haru stumbled into the same clearing he'd woken up in hours ago. The mansion still stood there, and on a new third floor he saw Rin's signature bow bouncing by.

He chuckled and made his way to the double doors, knocking on them once again. He heard footsteps approach and in an instant, the doors swung open for the second time.

After walking down the path of the spotlight…

Gakupo opened the door again, and smiled when he saw Haru. "We welcome all…"

Gumi popped up from behind him, smiling as she spoke and waved her hand to the hosts, doll twins, princess and lady who waited on the top of the steps, "To our wondrous mansion!"

The two ushered in the new guest, and Kaito and Meiko came down smiling. "You must be lost…" Kaito said as he walked over to Haru and rested his hands on his shoulders.

"Well," Meiko leaned down so she was at his height and cupped her hand on his cheek, "it's now…"

"Quite dark outside…" The two said in unison, backing away from the albino.

Rin popped up, her white bow bouncing as she sang in a sweet voice, "So UN-til…"

"It's LIGHT out…" Len popped up, holding hands with his sister.

"Let us make you feel at home!" Miku exclaimed as she popped up behind the blonde twins.

Haru smiled as the three of them beamed at him. He looked over to Luka, who was smiling as she spoke next. "With the highlight of the night…"

"We shall begin!" Haru exclaimed and the eight burst out into happy smiles and laughs.

Len left with Gumi and Gakupo to fetch something from the kitchen. What did they fetch? Haru didn't know. He guessed it would be wine.

Rin held out her hand to Haru and he took it, smiling as he stared into blue orbs.

"You seem familiar…" Rin commented as Haru twirled her around and the hosts clapped in response.

"I've been here before Rinny." Haru whispered into her ear and let go of her hand as soon as the twirl was completed.

The blonde blushed at the nickname. He has come here before. How could I have forgotten?

Gumi came from the kitchen first, snapping Rin out of her thoughts. "Wine for everyone! ~"

Gakupo came out, saying quickly, "Now she-"

"And she!" Miku chimed in.

Gumi looked at them. "And he?"

Let the crazy night go on!

The maid passed out wine glasses, and Haru took his gratefully and looked at Rin. She was still dressed in the same outfit from last time and as she held the wine glass, her eyes seemed sparked with curiosity.

The albino moved closer to the female but was quickly intercepted by Len, who shot him a glare that looked to say "Stay away from my sister or I'll hurt you."

The curtains rise! Let the excitement swell ever higher!

Haru looked over at Gakupo and Luka, who were near Meiko and Kaito. Gakupo had a bottle of wine and was filling Luka's glass every time she asked for more. Miku was near them and had already drunk her wine and looked to be asking for more, but her parents scolded her and said that she didn't need any more wine.

Next he looked over at Gumi, who was on the other side of Rin and was now talking to the blonde female. Len still stood on the other side of Rin, shooting glares at the albino every now and then.

You may simply perform according to script; don't think about it, just be a fool!

Haru sipped from his wine glass as Kaito tapped on his. "Let us give a toast!"

Everyone crowded together and Haru joined, tapping their glasses together and taking a sip from them.

The world spinning, getting drunk on one, two, three, and moreso shall we make merry!

After a good ten to fifteen minutes, Haru had had about three glasses of wine. He wasn't drunk; just a little bit tipsy. He'd seen Meiko go through about ten already in the past fifteen minutes, and wondered how a woman like her managed to keep all that alcohol down. Her cheeks weren't even flustered, though her husbands were.

Len had gotten a bit drunk, and Gakupo and Gumi were requested to send him off to bed. Miku had gone up with them, claiming she was tired from the day's events.

It's no fun if things are simple, yes?

Rin on the other hand, was a bit tipsy; Haru could see that from her flustered pink cheeks. She was also hiccupping every now and again. Luka had insisted that she go up to bed with her, but the blonde had refused. The pinkette had gone up to bed soon after.

Haru moved toward the blonde, wrapping an arm around her as she hiccupped again. "Bit tipsy there are you?"

Rin looked at him and shook her head, a hiccup escaping again. "I'm not tipsy."

The albino raised his brow at her as she let out a series of hiccups. "Rin you're tipsy."

"And you're not? ~" the female retorted.

"You're tipsier than me. Come on, come to bed with me." The albino took her hands and led her over to the staircase as she shook her head.

"Uh-uh."

Kaito spoke up from across the room. "Rin, go up to bed with Haru. Go on."

Rin looked back at the two and questioned, "Do I have toooo?"

Meiko laughed as she took a sip from her wine glass, the alcohol finally starting to kick in as pink shown on her cheeks. "Yes you have too."

"Ugh…fine. Good night Meiko and Kaito…" The blonde cooed as she was finally led up the stairs with Haru.

The albino led her into the guest bedroom he stayed at on his previous visit, and pulled her gently down onto the bed next to him.

Rin yawned and mumbled, "You're so dead in the morning Haru…"

The albino chuckled and took her bow out of her hair, setting it on the night stand as he cooed into her ear, "I don't think so Rin."

So let them become crazier still!

Author's Note: Hi guys! I just wanted to leave a quick little author's note here. I'm sorry if this seemed a bit rushed along with Chapter 6. I just wanted to get through this first half because I find the first half of "Crazy Night" a bit boring and just wanted to get through it okay. Hopefully I did well with this chapter along with Chapter 6! ^.^ I promise Chapter 8 will be much better and have much better story detail and may be a little longer!

Also, I wanted to make Rin and Haru get a little tipsy and a little playful; so that's where I was going with the end of the chapter.
