Summary: When naïve, studious Yuriko gets asked out by the boy she's been crushing on for over a year, she thinks that everything is perfect. Unfortunately even the best plans go astray.

Part Two: Setting up the Game.

Yuriko giggled as she collapsed onto on of the conveniently placed sofa's in Tomo's lounge room. There was a long line of bottles and cans on the floor next to the skirting boards, it looked as if someone was trying to beat a world record. Yuriko laughingly added the can of drink she'd just finished to the end of the line.

She couldn't recall exactly where she'd got the drink from, though she suspected it came from one of the nameless jocks she'd thrown her arms around and innocently greeted with a kiss at the highest point she could manage, usually their lower necks.

She still hadn't seen Saito however.

She stood and walked to the doorway, and almost beamed when she saw Saito standing next to the wall, engaged in conversation with one of his friends.

Her slightly fuzzy mind decided he looked like he needed to be kissed, so she stepped towards him, and managed to pin him to the wall with her body as she slid her arms around his neck.

He laughed, "Yuriko? Wha-"

She cut him off before he could finish, claiming his lips, a little sloppily, and letting her fingers caress the skin beneath his shirt.

He managed to push her back, his face slightly flushed, his eyes wide, "Yuriko, are you drunk?"

"No, I'm just... am I drunk?" Yuriko asked giggling, "Want to make out?"

Saito slid an arm around her waist to hold her up, and turned back to his friend, "She's drunk."

The boys aqua eyes gleamed with amusement, "Obviously. You're right too, she's perfect for the game."

Saito looked down at the girl, "Yeah, I guess. 15 days left to make her one of us."

"I didn't think she'd get drunk tonight."

Yuriko pouted, unable to follow the conversation, and tried to pull her boyfriend into another make-out session. She was feeling decidedly amorous, and he wasn't even... even... she wasn't sure what he wasn't, but it was annoying her.

"Come on," Saito let her steady herself with an arm around his waist and led her to the backyard where the rest of the party-goers had gathered.

Yuriko giggled cutely, her brown-eyes just slightly blood-shot from all the alcohol she'd consumed. "Sssai-tto," She slurred, "I want you to... to..." She paused, pursing her lips, "I forget. Want to have sex? I'm a virgin you know."

Saito's friend laughed, sliding a hand around her waist as she stumbled. She blinked blearily at him, long-ish white blond hair, aqua eyes, slender, very pretty... She didn't have a clue who he was.

Stopping abruptly, she held out her hand, "Hi-low, I'm Yurrikooo," She giggled, "I don't know you."

His aqua eyes sparkled with amusement, "I'm Joren."

Yurkio giggled, "You're really pretty. Want to have a..." She looked caught and then she grinned, "Want to have a threesome with me an' Ssaito?"

"Doesn't Saito get any say in the matter?" Joren asked, seeming quietly amused by the whole conversation.

Yuriko blinked, "Saito, you want to, right?"

She stumbled again, and Saito leaned over and picked her up, rolling his eyes, "You know, I thought you would be more of a challenge than this, Yuriko."

Yuriko blinked up at him with watery eyes, "Don't you love me Saito? I love you. I have for ages. Kiss me?"

Saito sighed, and kissed her forehead tolerantly, "I'm too sober for this."

Yuriko giggled. "Tish has my drinks. Have one!"

Saito carefully set her back on her feet as they reached the garden and Yuriko stumbled towards Tish, "Sssaito needs a drink. We're going to have sssex!"

Saito rolled his eyes, but accepted the drink anyway.

~~~

Yuriko stared at Saito as he and Joren grinning stupidly danced to the music - Dirrty - which someone had decided to play.

"Wha' time is'it?"

"2:18am," Alyssa replied lethargically.

The song finished and Saito collapsed onto the couch next to her, his fingers slipping down to rest on her thigh. Yuriko took another drink, before trying to work out what she was drinking. The words kept dancing around - like Saito and Joren had been dancing earlier, seductively and incredibly drunkenly.

Joren remained standing, his aqua eyes easily as red from the drink as Yuriko's own, "Hey," He paused, "Hey, hey, hey!"

"Wha-?" Yuriko asked him, "Wha-, what?"

"You know what would be really hot?" He posed the question.

Alyssa stared up at him from under her black and candy-pink streaked fringe, "Um... no. What?"

His face broke into a half-smirk, half-drunken-grin, "If you, and Yuriko, kissed. Heh. Yeah."

Yuriko turned to look at Alyssa, her mind only half-comprehending the suggestion, and then Alyssa's lips were on hers, and the other girl had slipped her tongue into Yuriko's mouth.

She moaned as the tongue caressed her own, and the hand on her thigh shifted higher, without even thinking about it she kissed back, sliding her hands into the other girls hair, and sliding down to caress her body.

They pulled away, and this time Yuriko initiated the kiss, she'd never even thought about kissing another girl - and she wasn't thinking about it now - alcohol dims everything but the pleasure.

She pulled away, and turned to see Saito staring at her in something akin to awe, her lips twitched into a smile as she gave him a command, "Kiss me."

Alyssa looked over to see them kissing and grinned before slumping back against the couch they were sitting on,

"You guys are really hot, you know that?" She asked.

Joren smirked, "Can we watch you have sex?"

Yuriko blinked as Saito pulled away, then stood, "Alyssa, I need to piss."

Alyssa hauled herself up and led the drunken girl to the toilets.

Yuriko quickly went, fumbling around as she stumbled into the walls of the toilet a couple of times, before walking into the bathroom to wash her hands. Her eyes caught sight of her reflection in the mirror.

Her hair hung in straggly clumps, her lips were stained blue from the cruisers she'd been drinking, her eyes were rimmed with black and bloodshot, her make-up had run, in short, she looked a mess.

"I looked so good at the beginning of the night," She whispered, before staring down at the hand basin.

Her stomach heaved and she threw up everything she'd eaten and drank. It looked disgusting. She continued to stare at it.

Alyssa walked over, and blinked, then blinked again, "Did you just throw up?"

Yuriko nodded, "It's..."

Alyssa ran the tap to try and get rid of it, and finally it disappeared down the drain.

"That was really foul."

Yuriko nodded, "Uh huh, I feel better now."

Joren had taken a seat on the couch while they'd been gone, and once again Yuriko had the slightly confused feeling that she was missing some vital piece of information which would have allowed her to understand something vital.

Saito stood up as they walked into the room, his blue eyes locking on Yuriko's, "Tired, love?"

Yuriko nodded, "Is dere a bed?"

"C'mon," He grinned, picking her up and carrying her down a hallway. The room he carried her into was plainly furnished, obviously a guestroom, and it had a huge king-sized bed against one of the walls.

Without even thinking about it Yuriko plopped down onto the floor and tugged off her socks and shoes. She looked up to see that Joren and Saito were both in the process of stripping down to their boxers, and Alyssa was in her bra and a g-string.

She pulled off her dress and crawled into the bed next to Alyssa, feeling more confused then self-conscious.

The bed shifted as Saito slid in next to her and Joren clambered in after him.

She let her eyes flutter closed, and rolled onto her side, barely even noticing when a warm body sandwiched her up against another in the king- sized bed.

End Part Two.

Authors Notes: Wow, reviews! I was surprised (in a good way) that you guys actually enjoyed this! To answer the question that my first reviewer posed, yes it will be shoujo-ai, and not just like it was in this chapter - proper shoujo-ai *tackle-glomp-hug* and you made me very happy when you said you like Yuri-chan. So thank you very much. *grins happily*

Tell me who guessed that Yuriko was going to get absolutely sloshed? Was it too obvious? I don't know. Poor Yuri-chan. She acts like me when I'm off my face, only not quite as bad. By the way, drinking alcohol is *not* glamorous as you can see. And standing in a bathroom staring entranced at your own vomit is absolutely disgusting.

Yuriko is going to start becoming aware of her own sexuality, and questioning it, especially when she wakes up in the bed with very few immediate memories of the previous night.

Anyway, Please Review. I'll love you forever if you do.
