The Love Letter Lovelies
by Glee-chan
36.
Everyone from the Love Letter Lovelies started to file in around the same time. The last of which to show up at Kaede's house was Sora. Kaede was the only one who heard the door bell above the noise of chatter and giggling, so she had the awkward pleasure of greeting her former girlfriend alone at the door. When they're eyes meet, she could tell Sora was nervous. She glanced around Kaede to make sure she was alone, then pulled the kendo girl out side with her.
"Let's just get this over with." Sora said once the front door was shut. "I'm only here because Shiho-chan really wanted me too come, not because I still have feelings for you."
Kaede blinked then nodded. "I'll try and not be disappointed."
Sora raised an eyebrow and gave a fake laugh. "Funny."
Everyone thought Sora had made a point to draw a line in the sand so Kaede thought she should play the big sister role for Shiho at least once. "She's really upset that you don't come and visit her."
"She told you that?"
Nodding her head, Kaede continued. "She wonders if has anything to do with you still having feelings for me."
"I told her I didn't." Sora groaned. "That girl."
"Why haven't you come for her here then?" Kaede asked.
"I just… I just didn't want to be tempted for one… and for another I didn't know if you'd like it if I was hanging all over some other girl in your house."
"I don't care about that." Kaede brushed that aside.
Sora clutched her heart dramatically. Even though it was a joke, there was truth behind it. "Geez, break a girl's heart why don't you? You're saying there isn't one little fragment of attraction for me what so ever?"
"I think you're still pretty." Kaede admitted. "But I have Mako-chan now."
Sora rolled her eyes. "One-minded as always. Well… let's just try and stay out of each others way, alright?"
"Fine by me." Kaede said.
The two of them walked back in the house and Kaede unnecessarily led Sora to her bedroom where everyone had gathered. When they entered in together, there was a break in the conversation for a beat until Sora walked away from Kaede and went directly to Shiho. As if to make a point she gave her a big kiss on the spot. There was some laughter and the sleep-over official began.
"This is really cool." Yui exclaimed when they were all seated around both Kaede's and Shiho's heated tabled that was moved into one room and pushed together to form one big table. They all were served drinks and there was general conversation rippling through out the room. "Everyone is here."
"Yeah." Emiko had a devious grin. "I got an idea!"
She stood up and went to her travel bag and started rooting around in it. To everyone's shock she pulled out a huge bottle of Sake, and returned to the table. Everyone's eyes suddenly grew as one by one they each realized the situation.
"You had that bag with you at school! Don't tell me you were holding liquor on you the whole time?" Shiho looked at the huge bottle sitting in the middle of the table.
"Yep. I got another one too…" Emiko grinned.
"Are we really going to drink that?" Makoto asked in a slightly worried voice.
"Why not? We got a chaperon, it'll be okay." Sora said and pointed with her thumb at Nori.
Nori snorted. "Like hell am I going to be the only sober one. No chaperon tonight, I'm one of the girls."
"We shouldn't just drink that without some kind of game. Let's play something, okay?" Yui looked around. Everyone seemed to think this was a good idea.
"What about we play The King's Game." Nori suggested.
"Sis!" Makoto looked embarrassed. Kaede felt an inward grin fill her. She'd get to see Makoto drunk and maybe see her do something embarrassing."
"How do you play that?" Yui asked.
Everyone looked at her in shock, except Kaede. She wasn't surprised that the shy sheltered girl didn't know how to play a drinking game. But she didn't want her to feel like a moron, so Kaede feigned ignorance as well. "Doesn't anyone know the rules?"
"You too, Kaede-chan?" Emiko looked shocked. "You always seem so mature."
"I've never heard of the game before." Kaede lied. Everyone bought it but Makoto. She caught on quick that Kaede was doing it for Yui's sake.
Sora gave the two of them a suspicious look then explained the rules of the game. "Basically the game works like this. We get seven chopsticks since there is seven of us. On all but one we number the bottoms from 2 through 7. The first one will have the character for 'King'. Then we draw lots. Everyone will either get a number or be the King. You hide your numbers until the King is revealed. Whoever is the King can order a random number or a series of numbers to do something. Like 'No 6 must lick No. 2 on the neck.' or something like that. That's why you hide your numbers so the King won't favor anyone. Anything the King orders must be obeyed because the King's commands are 'Absolute'. Once the command is done the chopsticks are gathered up and we do it again. With each round we take a drink. Simple enough?"
Kaede nodded, and looked at Yui who was also shaking her head.
"Needless to say, as the rounds go by we'll be getting drunker and drunker so everyone be careful." Nori told them. "So… does everyone want to play?"
"Sure." Shiho agreed and everyone but Makoto and seemed willing to go along with it. "Cool, we just need some chopsticks now."
Kaede stood up up and walked over to her school bag and pulled out a Sharpie marker. "I know where Mom keeps the disposables. I'll get them, number them, and come back."
Moments later Kaede returned from the kitchen with the labeled chopsticks. She handed the lot to Nori, then took her seat next to Makoto again. Since Nori was the oldest, she seemed the leader for the first round, so she rolled the chopsticks and mixed up the arrangement as best she could. Then she held the sticks out from the bottom so she covered the numbers and offered them to the table. One by one they each picked a stick and pressed it to their heart to keep their number secret. Kaede looked on hers and saw she was No. 4.
Nori looked down at hers, then returned her gaze up and asked. "Okay… who's the King?"
Emiko stood up raising her chopstick. "Me!"
Makoto groaned. Kaede thought she looked so cute worried about what would happen next.
"Hmm, what should I do…" Emiko thought out loud. "I know. Let's jump in the deep end! No. 7 must kiss No. 6"
Makoto gave a wail. "Of course I'm the first one."
Nori's face turned white. She held up her chopstick and had No. 7.
"No way! That's my sister!"
"The King's commands are absolute, dog!" Emiko laughed. The whole room was laughing.
Makoto and Nori were sitting next to each other, so they didn't have to stand up for the act. Leaning over, Nori bend towards her sister and kissed her on the cheek. There was a scream of outrage until Nori pointed out Emiko wasn't specific on what kind of kiss they had to do. As all the chopsticks were returned to Emiko for her to reshuffle and issue out, Kaede poured the Sake. With the first drink over, with Makoto and Yui gagging at the taste of it, the next round had started. Kaede was the last to get her chopstick this time.
"Ha! I'm the King!" Makoto stood up and pointed at Emiko.
"Big deal, you don't know my number!"
Makoto pouted. "No fair. Let's see… No. 4 and No. 5 have to exchange and change into each other's pajamas… in front of everyone!"
Kaede looked down at her number and she was safe once again. Yui was No. 4 and Nori was No. 5. This would be an odd sight as Nori was only inches taller than Makoto, who was the smallest in the room, while Yui was easily the tallest. Nori swore as she undressed, saying that she was cursed while Yui looked equally as embarrassed. While Makoto was gathering the chopsticks to reshuffle, Kaede refilled the cups with more Sake. When the two girls sat down again, Nori was swimming in Yui's pajamas making her look like the youngest one there now, while Yui's pajamas showed her lower arm, midriff, and ankles. After taking another drink, round 3 began.
Shiho became the King. "No. 2 must tell anyone a secret. It's up to that person to tell the rest of the group what that secret is."
Emiko, pink in the face, slide her No. 2 chopstick on the table then leaned to her side and whispered something Yui's ear. Kaede had a good idea what that something was. She was drunk enough to not be nervous and was in a game setting so it was somewhat safe. Kaede looked at Yui's reaction, hoping it was positive. Yui's eyes raised and turned to Emiko with an open mouth. Emiko looked embarrassed, but smiled and nodded. Yui's face lit up a bit and she pushed her chopstick on the table next to Emiko and looked down. Kaede could tell Yui was happy about the secret.
"Emi said… she said she likes me and wants to go out with me." Yui said in a small voice.
Kaede along with the others clapped.
"Well? Are you going to say yes?" Shiho pressed.
"Y-Yeah." Yui giggled bashfully.
Everyone cheered them again. Emiko gave Yui a quick hug, then she gathered the remaining Chopsticks and started shuffling again. After the drink, round 4 began. Kaede blinked a bit, the Sake was starting to get to her.
"Finally!" Nori said, holding up her king stick. Her cheeks were red and she had a grin. "No. 4 must pull down No. 6 bottoms and wear 6's panties as a hat."
"What!" Everyone screamed.
"No way!" Yui protested.
"Hey, the kid games are over!" Nori laughed. Makoto hid her face in her hands.
Kaede laughed at Makoto then checked her number. She was No. 6. A warm flush went to her cheeks, and not from the alcohol. Trying to look calm, she slide her No. 6 on the table and stood up, waiting for No. 4 to stand. Makoto gasped. She quickly looked down at her stick, but she wasn't No. 4. Kaede looked around and saw Sora standing up, her knees slightly shaking. She also wasn't shaking from being drunk. Shiho gave a groan.
"You should take that back, sis." Makoto quickly said.
"Commands are absolute!" Nori slammed her fist on the table.
Sora went over to Kaede, then got on her knees in front of her. She reached up and started to pull down Kaede's panties from within her skirt but Nori stopped her. She pointed out that she made it specific the bottoms had to go too. Kaede sighed, and unbuttoned her skirt top so Sora could pull it down easer. Within moments she was stepping out of her panties, her lower half of her body exposed for all to see. Sora sheepishly placed Kaede's panties on her head and returned to Shiho her face even redder than before.
There was a bit of nervous laughter at this, but real laughter erupted as Kaede sat down, not bothering to put back on her skirt. Everyone had already seen her anyway, so she thought she'd lighten the mood. Everyone took another drink and round 5 began as Kaede reshuffled the sticks and allowed everyone to pick again.
"Kid games are over huh?" Sora said as she slammed her King stick on the table. It was hard to take her seriously with panties sitting on her head. "No. 2 must go naked to the kitchen, make me a snack, and stay naked until I say so."
Shiho slammed her chopstick on the table. "Sora!"
"Shit." Sora groaned.
"Did you forget I'm playing too?" Shiho stood up and pulled off her top.
"Sorry, I'm drunk I wasn't thinking." Sora said, but had a sideways smile on her face. She was enjoying the view.
Shiho stripped quicker than Kaede had seen anyone strip in her life. Everyone watched as she stomped out of the room without any hesitation. Not being able to take it, they all left the table and were in the the hallway watching her. Giggles were rolling all around.
"She's not even embarrassed!" Yui said in a sort of awe.
"Trust me she isn't." Sora laughed. "She's got nothing to be ashamed about."
Kaede wasn't so sure. She had gotten to know Shiho pretty well and knew that she often liked to hide her embarrassment by acting angry. She was doing that now. As she was preparing food, out of no where Kaede's Mom came into the Kitchen. All the girls shrank back behind the wall. Kaede peaked behind and saw her Mom looking a bit taken back then her face relaxed.
"The Kings Game?"
"Yep." Shiho said curtly.
"I smelled the Sake…" She said, then looked over the corner and saw peeking eyes from the hallway. "Just remember this could be you, everyone."
There was a another round of laughter as Kaede's Mom gave Shiho a small whack on her bare bottom, then left the Kitchen with a tea cup she had came for. Shiho looked mortified and swore even more as she finished up the snack. As she stomped back, they all ran back into the room and took their places. She slide the snack in front of Sora, and looked expectant. Sora just started eating, ignoring her girlfriend.
"Well?" Shiho glowered at her.
"Oh." Sora said, her sideways smirk still there. "Food's good. Aren't you supposed to be shuffling to chopsticks now."
