Your nails drums against the machine you sat at, you weren't winning much but you weren't losing either. Next to you was Shoko playing singlehanded blackjack. His eyebrows farrowed and her cigarette rolled between her lips as she concentrated. So far she was on a winning streak but that could change in any second. You both were playing against a computer after all.

Nami was a few feet in front of you, at the roulette table with Robin and Ace. You looked up each time she'd win, she would flash you a big smile and show off the gambling chips in her hands. Satoru and Suguru were looming over some girls from Uni they had invited. They both watched the girls play, offering them tips and whatnot but not gambling themselves just yet.

"This is getting boring!" Shoko huffed, pressing the cash out button, prompting you to do the same.

You both headed for the bar, tucking your cash out tickets into your purses. Your eyes wondered around, people of all sorts under one roof. Government officials, gang leaders, politicians, civilians and Casino workers. Of course there was no sight of Kagura or her father. You had informed her of your arrival but she simply asked that you wait for her.

She was in a meeting she couldn't get herself out of. It was just that urgent and important that she had to be present for it. Something that struck you as odd since she usually let her father attend to these things while she ran around the Casino.

"What can I get you ladies?" The bartender asked, which had you look over at him with a sheepish smile.

"I'll take a margarita please."

"Me too, please." Shoko added.

The bartender nodded, getting straight to work on your drink, your eyes continued to look around you, Shoko grew curious and began to look around.

"What are we looking for?" She asked.

"Nothing in particular. I just feel this uneasy feeling that I'm being watched." Your eyes meet her concerned ones.

"Well there's a lot of security around, they're probably keeping a close eye on everyone." She pointed out a few that looked away the minute you made eye contact.

That made a lot of sense, yet you felt a strong sense that someone else was watching you. You decided to shake off the feeling and enjoy the night. You did deserve it after the rough week you had. Finals, lab work and fights with Rintarou surely took a toll on you.

"Two margaritas for two beautiful ladies and don't worry, Lady Kagura has informed me not to charge you for any drinks tonight." The bartender bowed his head respectfully before walking off to attend more customers.
