Yumiko nodded, her smile brightening. "I did. Thank you, Ise-san." She had been allowed to spend more than a meal with him and they had even visited the garden where he used to make leaf boats. The weight of her elders hadn't been present then, either. Maybe they were accepting her changes and not trying to shape her, even though she didn't live there.... and probably never would.

Nori chuckled softly as Rangiku and Yoruichi started going on about the last party thrown by her and how she had to take Rangiku back to her room and pour her into bed. Rangiku defending herself say those days were past her and something she was not returning to and that if she remembered correctly when she woke up Yoruichi was past out in her room on her floor. Yoruichi shrugged with a chuckle and looked at the table that was lined with a few sake flasks.
"That might happen again." Yoruichi said.
"That's for everyone. Not just us." Rangiku remarked.
Nori picked one of the flasks up, turning toward the group, "and who shall I pour one for?" She asked pouring herself one first. A few of the women stepped forward, Rangiku and Yoruichi both with saucer in hand.
"I am not packing any of you anywhere." Kita replied sitting to the couch in the room. "If you want to get drunk beyond recognition then that's all on you, but I will have NO PART of taking care of your drunk asses."
Nori looked to Kita and chuckled, "Not a drinker, huh Kita?"

Kita looked to Nori shaking her head. "No I do not like to drink. I don't like the way it makes me feel the next morning. I don't like the way it makes me feel when it starts messing with my head. It makes a person do stupid things and at time dangerous things that they normally would not do."
"Liquid courage." Rangiku say downing her saucer.
"Exactly. If you don't have the nerve to do it when your sober then why make yourself courageous enough with a drug? It's like forcing yourself to do something." Kita looked away from the girls as she mumbled softly. "It's like self inflicted rape if you ask me."

Nanao walked over with Yumiko and patted Kita's arm. "I understand your misgivings. I mean, I really understand them with my Captain, but at the same time, I wouldn't want him if he was just sober and there are ways to drink in moderation."
Rangiku and Yoruichi peered at Nanao again. "What?"
"You said you WANTED him!" the two purred in chorus.
"What changed your mind?"
"Shall I give you hints about him in bed?" Yoruichi whispered with a sly smirk.
Nanao blushed scarlet. "IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" she squeaked and turned tail with the two sirens on her heels, begging for more gossip. The others heard her call out. "My telling you had nothing to do with the sake!"

Naomi chuckled softly as she watched Ise run off from Yoruichi and Rangiku. "I think some of this might help me with a certain someone." She walked over and sat down on the couch across from Kita and Yumiko, both of them looking her way.
"If you like someone Naomi just tell them. It's as simple as that." Kita told her.
Naomi shook her head, "I am fearful of rejection."
"And you think being numb from sake is going to lessen that blow if they tell you to get lost?" Kita shook her head. "THAT is a misgiving. Not my feelings toward liquor." She looked across the room at Ise which was now cornered by Yoruichi and Rangiku.
"If you need boozes to make you brave then why the hell are you all in the Gotei 13?" Kita asked them.
All eyes turned to Kita with her bold statement as Naomi looked at her with wide eyes. She could not believe Kita just asked something like that.

Yoruichi sighed and tried to change the subject. "Alright. How about a game? One that doesn't involve alcohol," she said with emphasis. She took a cookie from the platter and took a bite out of it. "Any ideas? What should we play? Cards? Kemari? Board games?"
Then she laughed as a crazy idea popped into her head. "We could play strip poker. I got pretty good at it playing against Kisuke," she gave a wide grin.

"Strip is not fun without the men. What do you say we play a drinking game?" A few protested shaking their heads. "Well for the ones of you that do not want to drink you can drink the punch. How is that?"
The ones against the drinking game then nodded and agreed. Noir looked to Rangiku and smiled as two of the women started setting up the table and chairs for the group. Nori walked off to find a deck of cards. When she returned the women all set down around the table. Nori was shuffling the deck.
"Alright then, the game is called Allies and this is how you play it." She set the deck down in the center of the table and drew two cards. "You start off by asking each member black or red; if they're wrong, they drink, if right we go to next person. After Black or red go suits, if wrong, then go inside or outside. Meaning. Is the next card going to fall between your two cards or is higher or lower than your two cards? Then go high or low if their wrong. This is a really simple and fun combo of a game. The object is to TO GET REALLY DRUNK!"
She looked around the table, "Any questions?"

"Sounds fun," Yoruichi smirked. "Who's going first?" She asked as she poured herself some alcohol to keep in front of her in case she lost a round. (Of course, she had no intentions of losing, even though the object was to get drunk.)

“So it’s a game of chance, testing your own sense of untuition and luck?” Nanao chuckled and poured herself some punch, sipping it before letting a clever smirk curve over her lips. “I have another twist to add to the game. For those who don’t want to get drunk, if they want the sense of danger, instead of drinking, they have to confess something about themselves. For example, do they have a strange least favorite food?” She turned to the younger women. “Will that get everyone to join in the fun?"

Rukia grinned. "I like the risk with either the drinking or the confessions," she stated quietly. She sat down on a place on the couch and poured herself some punch. "Just be careful what you learn~" she murmured. She looked to Naomi, who was still looking at Kita, as if wanting to ask her something. "Are you joining, Naomi?"

Naomi smiled as she looked to Rukia, "yeah I am in. This should be fun, but even if we are drinking I think that answering a question thing should apply to everyone. That way if you are drinking and want a break you can take one."
Her gaze moved from Rukia to Nanao then the others in the room, "is that alright?"

Yoruichi hummed, a low, purring sound and licked her lips. "Booze AND gossip. Now THAT'S a drinking game."
Yoruichi hiked up the skirt of her kimono and sat cross-legged on the floor, setting her glass in front of her, not caring about etiquette since she was about to get drunk anyway.
"So come on. Let's get this party started!" She grinned widely.

"Alright, alright," Rangiku announced as she was standing at the punch bowl. She was filling cups and setting them to the side for the ones that would be needing it. As she was filling them she got a devious idea. She picked up a flask of sake and slowly pored it into the punch so no one would hear the splashing of the liquids. She stirred it well picking up a couple of the flasks with her own saucer and walked over to the table with the other women and sat down.
Her hands clasp together quickly making a loud clap as she then rubbed them together. "Lets get this party started!"

Kita sighed shaking her head. "Why do I have this feeling this night is going to get crazy." She looked over at Nori which was shuffling the deck again. She then set the deck in the center of the table.
"So this games has more then dealer, right?" Kita asked.
"Yes, we all get to draw cards. I will start. Then when I am done with my cards it is past to the person to my right. They do their questioning and pass to the next. We all will get a break from guessing," Nori smirked, "and drinking when it is our turn to draw."
"Nice," Kita replied less then enthused as she picked up her cup and took a drink.

Yumiko, sensing her distress, walked over and took a seat by her. She wasn’t too sure about this game either, but she wanted to bond more with the group. Besides, Kita needed the relaxation. Between Sojiro and healing, her mind was full. She touched her hand. “You could choose some inane or unimportant details for the game, or if you want to, I wouldn’t mind if you talked about Sojiro.”
