<Nocturnal Harmonia>

According to Miko, he didn't want everything she had. Though that sentence alone was very telling, very threatening, and... somehow very enticing by the way she sang his name, Miyuki would stick to his guns. Everyone seemed to be having a good time with the game so far. That was all he wanted. His fiancée had her closest friend back, that friend had brought along her boyfriend, and basically... Miyuki thought they were quickly becoming 'friend couples' as he'd put it. This game was indicative of double-dates they could have in the future. It was such an ideal scenario ─ one sure to make Kaguya happy, which would make him happy. That was Miyuki's train of thought.

What he didn't think, was that 'all Miko had' involved something he hadn't heard since playing strip poker for keeps with his raid group. She wanted him... to take off his pants, and remain that way for the game's duration. Now, Miyuki couldn't truly mind the idea of sitting around in his underwear. One problem with that, of course, was the simple fact that he didn't put any underwear on after changing earlier. Miyuki thought they'd have dinner, maybe play a quick game and get to know each other. His original plan had him back upstairs with Kaguya by now. Alas, plans often went astray. Miko must have wanted to make him waste that freebie. Or... did she want to see more of him? No! That wasn't the way for an engaged man to think! He had to focus! "Gh! I uh..." He hesitated, naturally. While he did so, Yugi chimed in. "Before you ask... yes─there are at least four worse things that may or may not come your way," he warned. Miyuki looked to Kaguya, but he saw no rejection of the idea in her face. Surely she thought it was all just some drunken game. Well, he had nothing to be ashamed of, apart from how things would look. Already reaching for the waistline of his pants, Miyuki struggled through speech. "So you're trying to make me burn up my get out of jail card? Joke's on you, Iino-chan!~" he goaded. From there, Miyuki would be sliding down his breeches while keeping his lower body beneath the table and his very exposed cock out of sight. After a few moments of shuffling, he held his pants high, basking in nude victory. "Aha! Another one down! Take that!" he boasted.

Miko gave all necessary warnings. Miyuki didn't want all of her, in any circumstances. She was a lot and she knew it. Still, his response was one of resolve, but she watched him struggle. It seemed like he was hiding something but she'd been like that until very recently. Perhaps the only thing odd about it, was that he was keeping up his façade so hard presently. 'Well, he could be trying not to go too far. That's pretty normal given the stances made about favorites, it's weird though... because he's definitely trying to impress me. I'm sure of that part...' Miko's thought processes were still set to horny though, and as that was the case, she could easily throw in a curve ball.

She'd demanded the blonde take off his pants for the rest of this round. And what she'd been given was a look into his personal form of panic. Miko panicked quite a lot so she could see it. The processing the hopeful looks for help and then the resignation. It all happened fairly quickly with only minimal input. 'Or he could be thinking I am just trying to steal his early drinking win... that's still in play I guess,' Miko thought wondering how good this man was at keeping track of things, and then erasing it, upon remembering that he'd forgotten to ask the easy food based question. Yugi even offered 'help' in the form of knowledge that worse things could be asked of him so... in the end, Miko watched this man continue to sit on the floor. Remove his pants and then... show them. "Is that what I'm doing?♪~" Miko asked as if she had no idea what her own motivations were. "Oh no... he now doesn't have on pants like I wanted... I've been thwarted♪~" Miko chirped as she strummed the last few beats and used her fingers to tap out a little drum beat. "Innocent sarcasm is scary, Mi-chan♥~" Kaguya confirmed. She didn't have any problems with Miyuki's current nudity, if only because she knew it wasn't the sort of big deal a normal person would make of it. Miko's curiosities were different from other people's whatever the girl was looking for, whens he found it, it'd be obvious. Kaguya was certain of this. "So you've said. Anyway, turn is done I guess..." she said moving back to oddly fondling the shamisen, as she thought through a different kind of note progression.

Now that his pants were off, Miyuki wasn't the least bit uncomfortable with the situation itself. If anything, his only source of discomfort stemmed from reactions he would have expected from Kaguya or Yugi. Since nothing came from either of them, everything seemed fine. Still, he'd keep his unmentionables beneath the table for propriety's sake. One had to wonder why Miko really gave that dare, though... and why nobody was questioning it. His hopes would remain silent and overwritten by the more 'realistic' assumptions for the most part. When asked about an attempt to take his freebie away early, though, Miko gave a sarcastic response that seemed to discredit the idea. So then, did that mean it was a matter of interest?

Miyuki had to entertain the thought, at least a little. That especially became the case when Miko claimed her plans were thwarted, stirring the proverbial pot with even more sarcasm splashed in. The 'as she wanted' part of his sudden nudity was especially noteworthy to the blonde. "... Yeah. That's what I'm here for. Thwarting plans, righting wrongs... all that stuff," Miyuki rambled. Yugi's turn was up next. He'd now been through an entire round with plenty of time to think. The way things were going on Miyuki's end, he couldn't imagine any issues with a continued, targeted approach so late in the game. "Shinomiya," he said flatly once again.

Miko was still working through her understanding of Miyuki but she still believed her initial understanding to be correct. He was very upright on the outside and reliable. But given how much he was going for and falling for even simple and not outright provocation she had to think nothing but that he was hiding all his deviance inside. 'Still doesn't really explain what's wrong though...' Miko couldn't help but try and figure it out. She knew Kaguya had a bad experience before and wondered if she'd just hyper corrected on the personality accidentally. No matter he was still speaking giving up bits of information for her to pick apart... she could work with it."Really? I don't know if you sound too sure about that♪~" Miko chirped jokingly.

Ah but her turn was mostly over, Miyuki was now without external coverage but still hiding in a shell of propriety. Miko hadn't quite worked that part out yet, but it would seem both she and Yugi had their targets under control. Kaguya was once again on the chopping block and she couldn't help but let a gentle tease pass between her lips, "Oya~ Me again... team Vengeance really likes going for the kill after working a target down, huh?~" she thought through her own observations. "Go ahead with the next dare then, Kiriya-kun~ Take it easy on me~" she claimed even while being certain such a thing wouldn't happen. What kind of dare would be coming though? The ones from Yugi were innocuous until some underlying thought took place... she could count on quite a few things to happen but not exactly the ordering of them.

It would probably take a bit of time for Miyuki to rationalize whatever the hell was going on with Miko. Inside, he really wanted to believe she was directly trying to establish a sexual connection. He probably would have gone for that with less hesitation with some surety and... no one else around. No, that wasn't the right way to think! But why was no one else talking about this? There was no way he could be wrong about it, but neither Kaguya nor 'Kiriya' was checking the brunette's behavior. How could he differentiate between the allowed and the forbidden? As long as Miko kept teasing, whether directly or otherwise, he'd make some sort of progress... albeit toward an end result he didn't know. "I'm sure. Mostly. Probably," he slurred in response to her latest claim.

Miyuki's struggles aside, the game's evolution had once again landed on Yugi and Kaguya ─ the latter of whom certainly knew how things were ramping up. She could ask him to go easy all she liked, but his answer would be... "I'd never be so rude as to take it easy~" he flirted discretely. With that said, it was time for the dare itself. What would he challenge Kaguya to do now? There were so many options, and so many of them crossed at least one line in the proverbial sand. He could easily give her something so outlandish that she went straight for another drink... unless she decided to go for it anyway. Yugi was sure Miyuki would think of anything ridiculous as retaliation against him, or perhaps an attempt to force Kaguya's next drink. As such, anything was probably safe. His decision, then, was to say: "Your dare is to spend the rest of the game in my lap."

Miyuki seemed to be quite confused by the way Miko was speaking to him. He couldn't figure out if he was being propositioned or not. And he also wanted to take the proposition but not at the risk of ruining what he looked like to his fiancé. Miko found this strange, he truly didn't sound sure, she assumed that if he really wasn't about the attention he was being given he'd be firmer about it. She also knew that Kaguya wouldn't make any odd assumptions just based on what she was doing given what she'd introduced her to earlier. Still, she'd continue poking at those exposed parts of Miyuki that were starting to leak through his drunken speech. "Oooh♪~ Only mostly and probably now, huh?♪ Epitome of confidence♪~" Miko chirped more of that innocent sarcasm. She was becoming of sure of one thing. Whatever was going on in Miyuki's head, what he actually wanted, was directly contradictory to the stand-up guy he'd been presenting himself as.

While Miko teased and poked holes in a drunken man's psyche, Yugi set himself up for his other victory. Interestingly enough, Kaguya had asked this man to go easy on her and received a rather gratifying response. He wouldn't be doing that at all. He considered it rude. "Doesn't that hit the ears, differently~" she mused seemingly just in observation. Still, there was something cryptically flirty about that sentence. And there were small marks leading closer and closer to an eventual step towards Yugi which she'd been doing physically all day but her mind was moving towards it now. 'I mean... it's the game and the horny right? Both of them are just horny inducing sex machines...' she thought about both Miko and Yugi. Obviously, if she got the physical part of it out of her System, it'd be easy enough for her to settle. She'd seen the bad side of choosing multiple favorites, she wouldn't have any part of that. But for now there was still a game to play and a dare to accept. This one had her sitting in Yugi's lap for the rest of the game, interesting. "Oya, is that it?~" she asked teasingly as she shifted just a bit into the man's lap. That was an easy enough place to sit, and she'd not even have any outward reactions to it, even if she was on top of his dick, given she already knew what it was like.

"Special secret technique~" Miyuki said about his alleged confidence, or lack thereof in the previous claims. Of course he was just talking out of his ass, but it was all in good fun. It seemed Miyuki was at least distracted enough to ignore his current nudity at the table. Alas, he did take note of Yugi's dare. Surely everyone was just playing a super risky version of this game. He did believe Yugi was either acting against him for earlier interactions with Miko, acting against Miko for the same reason, or not realizing Kaguya would call his bluff. Either way, everything seemed relatively normal ─ even after Kaguya slid into the other male's lap. She had no outward reaction. That seemed about right to Miyuki, who knew the chance of a guy packing something more impressive than him was astronomically low.

Ah, but that lack of reaction was because she'd already been worked over by the very package she sat upon. Kaguya would henceforth be the reason Yugi restored and retained firmness. As he shifted about to ensure she settled on the left side of his lap, his left hand would act while covered by her body from Miyuki's vision. Finally, Yugi could get back to groping her rear. "Yep. That's it. Simple, right?" Yugi asked rhetorically. Miyuki, leaning slightly between one side and the other, pointed a challenging finger at Miko. "I dare you t─oh, wait... Truth or Dare!" he said.

A special secret technique, that is what Miyuki was calling his confidence or lack there of. Miko knew of that particular secret, she just wondered if this lad knew he wasn't actually fooling anyone who understood what wsa going on. "Secret, ka♪~" Miko gave it mild consideration but she let it go soon after. Her fingers were still gently strumming that instrument, it'd become second nature to her by this moment. What was more she could see Miyuki just as drunk as she was... holding back only the basest of his instincts. He was also ignoring or misinterpreting what was going on with Kaguya. Well, that might have been for the best, it might have been world shattering for a man like him to find out someone had a bigger dick than him. Meanwhile, Kaguya was showing no obvious reaction but her ass was definitely being groped behind her. She'd definitely been purposefully settled over Yugi's lap in the proper way, further confirming to her that he was choosing to rile Miko would without letting her find satisfaction while continuing to target Kaguya herself for whatever reason. Odd though it was, the other couple didn't seem to be fighting or anything so it wasn't really any of her business. 'They're definitely weird,' Kaguya decided, but she was happy two weird people had found each other.

"Simple♥~" was all Kaguya had to say to that sort of thing. She knew Miyuki was also at least casually aware. It was most likely being considered retaliation of Team Vengeance for them to be carrying on this way. They were tearing the other couple apart, turning attention away from their standard partner to push them towards the one they wanted them focused on. It would actually be considered some kind of super trap if it was looked at from the outside. Even now, Miyuki was working up to giving another dare. This time he was challengingly pointing at Miko, about to immediately offer her a dare, only to confirm her choice. "Ooh♪~ Not all gone in there yet, Shirogane-san♪?~" Miko poked teasingly as she came to a halt in her quiet strumming. "It is a dare, go ahead, try for payback see how far it gets you♪~" Miko mused.

This game occurred between two couples. Even so, targets were being aimed at, and those targets were not what one would expect. Yugi and Kaguya targeted each other repeatedly, as did Miko and Miyuki. In Miyuki's mind, besides the odd interest he interpreted from Miko, it was a completely normal way for the couples to adjust to each other. Miko and Kaguya knew each other already; they didn't need to look each other's way. He and Yugi could find ways to get along beyond the game as a pair of guys ─ much easier than Yugi could be expected to get along with Kaguya as someone of the opposite sex. He saw no wrongs. Of course, the dares were becoming a bit strange all around... but everyone was drunk.

Speaking of drunk people and drunk dares, Miyuki was challenged to target Miko for payback. That happened to be exactly what he had in mind, though the dare itself was yet to be decided. What was he retaliating for again? Ah, yes... he was sitting there without pants because of Miko's dare. It would be the simplest thing to get revenge on a 1-to-1 basis, he thought, that challenging finger jutting forward inconsistently. "I'll show you payback! I dare you to take your pants off for the rest of the game!" he challenged, catching himself only after hearing Yugi's reaction ─ half a scoff, half a laugh. "Wait, no. Your uh... not pants... thing. Word?" he asked. In that moment, Yugi realized something about Miyuki. His visible hand reached toward Kaguya's lap, grabbing the hem of her skirt and lifting it for Miyuki to see. "You mean this thing?" he asked, drawing Miyuki's gaze. "Yeah, that!" Miyuki confirmed. "Skirt," said Yugi. Miyuki then said something very interesting, and very telling. "Skirt! No more skirts!" he finalized. Yugi found that note particularly interesting. Poor Miyuki didn't seem capable of remembering challenges while also keeping the rest of himself together at this point. "No skirts in general, huh. Sou desu ne..."

A group of four people were indeed getting to know each other through this game. Even if two already knew each other and the other two sets also knew each other a certain gap was being bridged. In this case, it was becoming brilliantly obvious to Miko that Miyuki was hiding quite a few bits of deviance beneath the veneer of being an upstanding citizen. He was obviously working very hard to keep up that appearance, even when the company present were already proven to be quite questionable. She imagined such emotional dishonesty was exhausting at best, but she wasn't a therapist, she only took the advice she'd been given.

In the moment, she was being challenged. Apparently, the payback of the day involved her not wearing pants... well no, "Chii♪~ It's okay, I lose words too sometimes♪~" Miko said teasingly. Even so, Miko had no intention of helping this man figure out the words necessary to disrobe her. No... she watched instead as Yugi decided to put himself in the fray, drawing attention to himself and Kaguya testing the limits of Miyuki's drunkenness versus his propriety. Miko heard Kaguya's gentle change in breathing for a just a second as Miyuki looked only to shift away from her. 'Oh, he's really far gone already,' she concluded breathing a sigh of relief audible enough to be heard not just my Miko's super ears but by Yugi himself. 'Sou ka, you're making your words too abusable, Shirogane-san...' Miko thought knowing that Yugi would exploit if he could. "No more skirts, huh? That doesn't sound like it means just me♪~" Miko chirped as she finally stood, putting down that instrument for just a bit. She'd begin undoing that zipper without any shame at all... but if any adjustments to this dare were being made she'd slow her pace to completion to accommodate.
