A/N : This is set a little while after " Beauty", ( I said I was going to wait for reviews to do a sequel, but I couldn't resist.) and it's also an Uo/Kyo fic. I know that I have a tendency to write extremely short chapters, so I'll try to make this one long. It probably won't have too many chapters. This is from Kyo's POV.
"Fate is a bittersweet thing"
Chapter one : the beginning
Once they had all squashed into the mini bus with a blindfolded Tohru, they all zipped open
their coats. They had not expected to be sitting so close together and it was getting warm. It
was mid December and cold outside.
Kyo sighed; he was sitting to the left of Tohru with a squirming Momiji on his lap. It was
madness, he couldn't believe he had let Uotani and Hanajima convince him to go along with
this.
It had all started a month ago; they had had a geography project during which the students had
had to form pair and pick a country in Europe or in Africa that they would have to research
and give a presentation about. Hana and Tohru had chosen Switzerland because of Hana's
love for chocolate and money. And because she had made such a fuss about being paired up
with one of the Yuki-fan club members, Uo had been allowed to join them. As they perused
Various brochures and pamphlets about the "Confederatio Helvetica" .
Tohru had spent a long time looking at pictures of the jagged snow-covered mountains and
the people sliding down them on skis or snowboards, she had voiced the wish to go skiing,
but then realising that Uo and Hana had heard her, she had gone off on her usual tangent:
" Oh, no! Don't worry girls, I won't leave for Switzerland. As much as I would like to ski and
eat fondue; I'm the kind of person who can only dream of such wonderful and exciting
adventures." After this statement Uo had simply rolled her eyes and the smiled and said,
"I'm sure that one day you'll be able to do that."
So, while Tohru had gone shopping Uo and Hana had gone to pay Shigure, Kyo and Yuki a visit :
" Look, Tohru has been our friend for as long as we can remember, and we would like to
thank her for that. So, we have decided to fulfil one of her dreams."
As Uotani went on, Shigure had started to guess that they were here to ask for financial help.
But when the girls had told them what thy were planning he had spluttered:
" A weekend at a Ski resort!!??"
" Yes. That's what I've just said, we're going to take Tohru to a ski resort in December, but
since we know how much she is attached to you guys, we figured that she would only accept
to stay there if you were there too. We're going to blindfold her so she can't see where we're
going." Uo said. Hana continued:
"We're not asking that you pay for anyone but yourself, we've already started saving money
and I have gotten a part-time job to pay for Tohru's stay at the inn and the loan for the skis."
" But, none of us knows how to ski." Yuki stated politely
" Speak for yourself, rat" Kyo spat, he didn't think this was going to work.
Everyone looked around at him.
" What?" he said " I went skiing with Kazuma-san a few times." He shrugged " It's not hard"
" Wow, you actually will be useful to us." Uo said in mock wonder.
Kyo just glared at her. Since that day he had told her she was beautiful he had only half
heartedly called her a Yankee, and hadn't gotten so upset when she had beaten him at a card
game yet again.
" So you just want us to come?" Shigure said
" Yes, you and Hatsuharu-san and Momiji-kun and perhaps that doctor friend of yours."
Hana said. It wasn't so much of a threat; it was merely a statement that left no room for argument. The Sohmas gulped. " Okay then, we'll give either Yuki or Kyo the information at school and we'd like you to
inform the others. And we'll show up the day before to pack Tohru's stuff for her. She must
only know about this when we come and blindfold her for the trip. Until the you had better
keep you mouths shut." With that Uo smiled " Thank you so much for helping us to make our
little Tohru happy."
" It's a pleasure" Shigure said and was immediately clobbered by Yuki and Kyo.
" Don't get any weird ideas baka inu" they said in unison, be fore looking at each other in disgust.
So here they were, all nine of them, squashed into this minibus with Tohru trying to guess
where they were going.
" Are we going to a secondary residence of the Sohmas?" she said. To her this was quite
exciting and she couldn't' wait to get there. Kyo looked at her flushed cheeks and her happy
smile. Well, that face was worth having to be with all these people for two whole days.
After three long hours of Uo's rowdy singing (the bus didn't have a radio) and of Momiji
making comments about how he would get the top bunk if they were to sleep in a dorm, they
finally arrived. Kyo gaped. The bus had stopped in front of a western building made out of
dark wood, which was only three stories high.
Uo took Tohru's blindfold off and she smiled at Kyo before looking out of the window.
" A CHALET!!!!! It's just like in the pictures!!!!!! It's wonderful. Are we really going to stay
here? Did you really do this for me ? I can't accept this." she said.
" Calm down Tohru." ( Shigure sweatdropped) " Yes, we are staying here and yes you can
accept this gift since we are all here with you."
" But, I haven't got any of my things!" she looked worried.
" Au contraire" Uo grinned broadly "Hana and I packed your stuff yesterday while you were
out shopping" " And we even brought Kyoko-san" Hana added holding up the framed photograph.
Tohru started to cry tears of joy.
" I had never expected any of this, thank you so much, all of you!"
End of chapter one.
Well, it's not much longer than the rest of my chapters, but whatever. It seems that the characters are somewhat OOC. PLEASE R&R to tell me what you think. I neeeeeeeed feedback.
