Ban stared in disbelief at the coin on the table, heads up.

“It’s okay, Ban-chan! I have the perfect costume idea for you!” Ginji said happily. Ban fought down the urge to curl up under the table and cry.

That’s when Hevn and Shido walked in.

“Hi! I have a job for you.”

“We already have one.”

“Oh, Yoshigawa-san, you contacted them already?”

“Yes. Thank you for your recommendation Hevn. I’ll still pay you the mediation fee, of course.”

“That’s very kind of you, Yoshigawa-san. This is another retrieval specialist, Shido. I asked him to help out on this job as well, since it’s such a dangerous one.”

Ban, for a split second, wondered when every single enemy he had ever made, living or dead, would kick down the doors of the Honky Tonk thirsting for his blood. It would be the perfect ending to his day.

“Yay! Shido!” Ginji glomped onto his friend. “Now you can go into the party with Ban-chan, because I’m no good at those types of fancy parties.”

Ban opened his mouth to say something, but all that came out was a squawk of indignation.

“Ginji, I’m not good at those types of things either.”

“But you’ve had more experience than I do! I might make a, uhhh, fo’ pause.”

“That’s faux pas, Ginji.” Ban said, getting his voice back. “AND THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL I’M GOING IN THERE AS MONKEY TAMER’S PET, MUCH LESS HIS LOVER!”

Shido blinked at this. “Pet? Lover? What the-?”

Ban thrust the envelope into Shido’s hands. “It’s a pet party.”

Shido blinked. “Eh?”

“It’s where men go to show off their male lovers, who are dressed in skimpy ‘pet’ outfits, to other guys.” Ban seethed.

Shido blinked at this. “And how did you end up being the pet?”

“We flipped for it, and I lost.”

Shido read the invitation again. “Okay. I’m in. What’s the plan?”

“WHAT?! NO! NO NO NO NO NO! You are NOT in on this. NO!”

“Yay! Shido-kun’s helping!”

Ban turned to Paul. “Kill me. Kill me now.”

“Not until you pay off your debt.”

Ban sighed. “Paul, if I die, Natsumi gets my car, Himiko gets my lighter, and you have to take care of Ginji.”

“It’s not gonna be that bad, Ban-chan! Don’t be so negative.”

Ban sighed. “That’s because you’re not the one going in there and getting molested.”

Shido sighed. “Do we have a plan at all?”

“I have an idea.” Ban muttered. “But we’ll need one more person to pull it off, mostly because I’m not comfortable with Ginji being all alone in a place like that.”

“How about Himi-”

“NO.”

“Emishi then.”

Ban seethed. “Fine.” He leaned against the counter. “Basically, the way I figure it, while Shido and I are at the party, we’ll see if we can get away and search the house for the statue, under pretense of... doing things. Once we find it, we contact Ginji and Emishi, letting them know where it is and, if we can get our hands on an infrared emitter, we could put that on it so Ginji can find it just by sensing the waves.” He turned to his partner. “Once we contact you, Ginji, wait ten minutes, blow the electricity, get the statue, bring it back here. Shido and I will stay for the rest of the party, so that we do not draw attention to ourselves, because we do NOT want Tekodashi after us.” Ban flipped some of his hair out of his eyes. “Now, all we need to do is get my costume, something for Shido to wear, the communicators, and the emitter, if possible.”

“I could probably get the emitter from MakubeX when I go to pick up Emishi.” Shido said. “And I already have something to wear to this.”

“I will loan you my limo, to use. I will also pay for anything needed.”

“I’ll help Gin-chan get Ban-kun his costume.” Hevn said, with a gleam in her eye that Ban would’ve sworn was sadism.

“I’ll have the limo pick you both up here at seven, is that all right?”

“That’s fine.” Shido turned to Ban and smiled, albeit slightly evilly, then turned to Hevn. “Make him pretty. I have a rep to keep, you know.”

“WHY YOU-” Ban was spitting out obscenities as Ginji held him back, while Shido walked out laughing.

“Come on, boys. We have to get Ban-kun his costume!” Hevn’s voice was sing-song and gleeful.

“I hate my life.” Ban grumbled as he, Hevn, Yoshigawa, and Ginji walked out of the Honky Tonk.
