BAREFACED

Chapter 30

You sit quietly on the couch in the karaoke room. Kazutora's "friends" sit across from you. You sigh shoving your hands into the Valhalla jacket you're still wearing. You hear the door open causing you to look towards it.

"I paid a couple hours for this room... so let's make good use of it." Kazutora bubbles. You slowly sit up watching Baji walk in behind Kazutora.

"I didn't know you like Karaoke..." You slowly say.

"Mmm... we are here to have fun... not really do karaoke..." Kazutora responds sitting down next to you.

"Have fun...? What do you mean?" You ask, sitting up a bit and adjusting yourself.

"Like drinks!" Kazutora's "friend" says pulling a bottle of liquor out of his bag.

"Drinks?" You quietly say.

"Yeah... have you not drinken before?" Kazutora asks wrapping his arm around you.

"No... I haven't..." You say holding onto yourself.

"mmm... then you should have a drink." Kazutora bubbles leaning forward and grabbing a cup. His "friend" pours him a glass of the liquor. Kazutora hands you the glass. The "friend" pours 4 more glasses. Kazutora holds up his cup and smiles. "Let's do cheers..." He suggests. His two "friends" nod. You look at Baji who's looking at you. Kazutora looks at you which makes you look at him.

"Come on..." He says. 

"Ok."

"Cheers to being back together..." Kazutora says looking at Baji. "And to making a new friend." He smirks at you. 

"Cheers." Baji says clicking his glass against Kazutora's glass. You do the same. Kazutora takes a sip and puts the cup down.

"So what do you guys want to play?" Kazutora asks.

"Why don't we play the games we used to play when we were younger?" Baji suggests, smiling a bit and taking a sip of the wine.

"Nah... let's do something new..." Kazutora responds as he rubs his hands up and down his leg. "How about a game of truth or dare..." He says looking at you.

"Truth or Dare?" You question as you raise your eyebrows.

"Yeah... have you played it before?" He asks.

"Yeah... I think so..." You reply looking down and furrowing your eyebrows.

"That game sounds ass... why don't we do something else..." Baji implies.

"I will put a twist to it... If you don't do the dare or answer the truth, then you have to drink a whole cup of alcohol." Kazutora chuckles.

"Ah shit... ight I'm in." One of his "friends" say.

"How about you Yuki... are you in?" Kazutora asks. You look at him and shrug. "Come on Yuki... stop being a drag and play with us." Kazutora implies.

"She's a top student in her school... I doubt she want's to play." Baji says placing his cup down and leaning back in his seat.

"How do you know that?" You ask.

"Remember you came to my house to be my tutor? My mom mentioned you told her you were a top student... unless that was also a bluff..." Baji says looking at you with a relaxed expression on his face.

"She tutored you?" Kazutora asks looking at Baji confused as he takes another sip.

"No." Baji replies.

"No?" One of the "friends" say.

"Was it more than studying?" Kazutora asks Baji as he looks at you.

"She only came to talk." Baji states.
