Chapter 2: DRUNKEN

Finally, it was 5 o'clock. Akina needed something to help her get her mind off today's event. The bloodied name Touzoku really bothered her, just like that man she almost beat the crap out of.
Akina dragged her self through the door and sat at the bar. "Hey Serah" Akina groaned, resting her head on her hand.
Another pink haired woman walked over to Akina's location, but it wasn't Lightning. The only real difference was her personality, her clothing, and the way she hold her hair, but it never dawned to her that this woman would be related to her boss.
"The usual?" Serah asked smiling. Akina nodded before taking a moment to look around the room. Two men came walking over to her and joined Akina at the bar.
"Hey boys" Akina said with a smile, greeting each with that innocent smile. The two men smiled back just as heavenly.
"Welcome back Akina!" The two men said in unison. Akina's gaze traveled to a booth that was occupied by a face she couldn't see, but their attire seemed familiar to her.
"Where are the other regulars?" Akina asked one of the men. They both took a moment to think before Serah arrived with a tall drink. Akina whipped out six dollars and gave it to Serah before taking a big gulp of her drink.
"They aren't off work yet I guess" one of the men said. Akina nodded before taking another drink. Just then the door opened to three more men who instantly walked over towards Akina with smiles.
"Akina! I want a arm wrestle rematch!" One of the men exclaimed. By the time the three joined them, Akina had a slight blush on her face. Akina smirked and readied her arm.
"Alright, but you better not go crying to your mama after I break your wrist" Akina said with a challenging look in her eye. She turned to Serah who watched the group with a smile on her face.
"Loser pays for vodka shots" Akina said turning to the man who readied himself. Akina grabbed his hand and one man stood in front of the clasping hands.
"Alright! I want a fair match. If your arm lifts off the table, you lose. If your hand touches the table, you lose. Ready.. Set.. Go!" Shouted the man. Right away Akina's muscles tensed and started dominating the man right away. It wasn't long till the man had to give out in defeat.
Akina smirked in victory. "Alright boy, you owe me some shots!" Akina said as the normal customers started pouring into the building and the music started playing.
"Ok Akina, you got me. But one of these days I will beat you" the man said ordering 5 shots.
"Serah, no limes!" Akina shouted as Serah started preparing shots. Akina turned to the booth that had the unknown person occupied in it. The person was still there. She couldn't help but feel like she knew this person.
"Here you are Akina. Five shots without limes" Serah said. All the men and women watched as the popular Akina drank all of them with a strait face and no limes. That seemed to get the crowd going. After the last one, she almost made a face but she forced her face to remain calm.
Akina slightly got nervous when the man ordered another five without limes. "I don't know guys.. It's hard to do ten without limes. Can I at lease have a lime?" She asked but she heard much protest to her request.
"You can do it Akina!" Shouted a woman. More shouts like that started to encourage her. Akina chuckled at more blood rushed through her cheeks, making her look even more flushed.
Akina moved quickly. One shot after another dealing a burning sensation in her throat. When she drank the last shot, she yearned for some lemon or lime. "Alright guys, I need something" she said looking towards Serah for a lemon or a lime. Serah nodded chuckling and had a lime already prepared for her.
Akina snatched the lime and sucked the juices from the fruit. She sighed in satisfaction as she felt time slipping. Akina was never great with liquor. Every time she drank, she got drunk and found herself in some guys apartment. Sometimes even in a woman's apartment, not even remembering the night before.
"Akina! Sing for us!" A man shouted. Akina blinked in surprise. She crossed her arms and smirked.
"Why would I sing for you guys? You gotta earn it!" Akina said with a burning flame in her eyes. All of a sudden people started bombarding poor Serah with orders. Unfortunately there was a drink limit. Two shots equaled one normal drink an the limit to how many glasses you could drink was ten. So far she was allowed four normal liquor drinks left.
"Alright, calm down calm down. Serah needs one person at a time!" Akina said loudly trying to calm the raving mob down.
Akina watched as the first four people ordered the drinks. The first two where males who she woke up next to once. The second two where females she woke up next to. She couldn't help but grow hot in embarrassment.
About two minuets passed before Serah brought over four tall drinks of her favorite beer. "How about I rise the house a bit more and chug these for you?" Akina asked smirking. She heard a bunch of 'yea!'s and people started chanting 'Chug!'. Akina took that as her answer.
She snagged the first and started drinking it fast. She took large gulps as a tear of liquid fell from the corner of her mouth. Once she finished the first, she grabbed the next and chugged that one in mere seconds before starting her third. At first she almost choked before making even bigger gulps.
Once she finished, she was gasping for air. Akina used her right arm to wipe away the liquor she had on her mouth. She hadn't quite noticed at first, but the building started to get hot and the music got louder. It was probably ten o'clock but her vision was too blurry to read the time.
A woman walked up to her with a mic and dragged her to the stage. She giggled as she was shoved on a stage. She looked towards the DJ and winked. "Clarity!" She shouted. That was one of Akina's favorite songs.
Before the song started, Akina hiccuped and grinned as sweat dribbled down her cheek and dripped on her chest. Then, the music started, and she waited. She waited for the right time to start singing. That's when she opened her mouth hand poured out her soul.

High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time

Akina was right on the dot. Her voice matching the songs tempo and pitch. Her speech was very clear for a drunk person, but that was never an obstacle for the young woman.

Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again

She continued to let the words flow out of her like they where nothing. The fact she felt so hot almost made her pass out on the stage. She needed water, but she neglected that plea in her mind. She had too, these people payed for almost ALL of her drinks. It was a kind way to give back.

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

Akina's vision continued to get worst. She couldn't make out faces very well, but she could somewhat tell what she was looking at. A little longer. Maybe just two minuets of consciousness.

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

When she got to the course, she let it all out. The crowd went wild and raced up to the front of the stage. Akina reached down and high-fived the people who 'loved' her. Being drunk, she almost actually acted normal.

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

When she sang the course again, she poured out the lyrics. She glanced towards that one booth she was so curious about, and yet, the person was there watching her. She couldn't make out the face due to her vision starting to truly fail. All she could see was long hair that looked as if it were pink.

Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you

Once she finished those lines, her words started to slur. Her legs struggled keeping her up as sleep tugged at her eyes, vision totally blurring. Her world slowly started to spin so she sat down.

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

Akina continued to fight for consciousness.

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

She noticed the pink haired woman stand up and start to push through the crowd. She pushed herself more, letting out her soul that was trapped inside, helpless.

Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?

Akina noticed the pink haired woman reach the stage.

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Once she finished she turned off the mic and felt her eyes start to close. She felt strong arms grab a hold of her and picking her up. She was picked up like a bride which made her blush inside. She couldn't ever remember being picked up like so.
Akina lay limp in this persons hands as she could still hear the voices of people. She couldn't hear the person say anything, but why would they? She couldn't help but feel somewhat safe and controlled in these persons arms.
And after that, Akina blacked out.

Akina- Shhhhhaddap
