Yuki In Wonderland
Chapter 2
"Yukiiiii!" Momiji jumped up from the table and ran over to hug me. "You made it!"
"It's about time." I craned my neck to look behind Momiji. Sitting at the head of the long table was Akito, and sitting next to her was Tohru. Akito wore a soft red floor length dress with a rose in her hair, Tohru had on a white dress with a pink lace trim and a pink ribbon tying her hair back. The rest of the table was occupied by everyone in the zodiac.
"Hi Yuki-kun!" Tohru said cheerfully. Momiji led me to the table and pushed me into a seat in between him and Ayame.
"Yuki!" Ayame squeezed me into a hug and I struggled to get out of it. "At long last you arrived!" Akito cleared her throat and everyone was silent as they turned their attention back to her and Tohru.
"Now that everyone is here, we may begin the meeting." She said. "We have all gathered here to make our most important decision; will we continue living here?"
"What is here exactly?" I asked.
"No one knows." Tohru answered. "We found it one day and, well, it is an amazing place. Everything has been changing since we came here, for the better."
"That's why we're all here, we need to decide whether we stay or leave." Akito said. "So, all in favor of staying raise your hands."
"Wait!" Tohru interrupted suddenly. Everyone gave her their attention and she blushed slightly. "Sorry, but I realized, Yuki hasn't been here long enough. Maybe we should give him some time to live here for a while and then we can all decide together."
"That's a wonderful idea!" Shigure complimented her and she smiled in response. Everyone muttered in agreement.
"How long should we give him?" Kagura asked.
"Maybe a month." Kisa suggested.
"That's too long." Hatori responded.
"What about half a month?" Momiji said.
"Let's give him two weeks." Haru said. Everyone began to talk all at once and I sat there silently watching all of this go on, and trying to tug down my skirt in the process. I noticed Kyo was the only one who wasn't really interested in the discussion; he rested his head on his crossed arms and watched as everyone shouted at each other. Finally, when everyone quieted down, Shigure spoke.
"We'll give Yuki a week, and at the end of it we'll all gather here again and make our final decision at noon. Does that seen fair to everyone?" everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then this matter is settled," Akito said. "We'll meet back a week from now, our meeting is over." Everyone stood and left the table, leaving me alone.
