Chapter 2

Cold Outside

The small white flakes fell through the air, zigzaging as if they never wanted to touch the ground.

"Ah... Isn't the snow so nice?" Tohru beamed, asking Yuki.

"Yes... but, Miss Honda, I though spring was your favorite season?" Yuki asked her back. He smiled and looked up.

Shigure spoke up. "I like winter... and high school girls." To which Yuki responded by hitting him on the head.

"Oh... Yuki..." Tohru reached her hand out to Yuki's shoulder, but withdrew it, deciding that it would be easier not to interfere. Yuki turned.

"Hm..?"

"Ah... Nothing.." Tohru said. "I do like spring the best... but winter is so fun too. Cocoa, and snow angels. Mom and I used to make snow angels all the time." She stared off into space for but a moment, and then she smiled and ran off the road.

She flopped down on the ground, and spread her arms wide and moved them up and down, along with her legs back and forth. "Look, Yuki! An angel!" She said after she got up.

Yuki barely opened his mouth to speak when a huge gust of wind picked up and it started snowing heavier.

"Come on Tohru, we'd better speed up." and they walked just a little faster.

Kyo?" Kagura yelled from the kitchen, looking in a cuboard standing on her tiptoes. "Where's the rice?"

"How should I know?" Kyo replied in an irritated tone. He wanted to go up to the roof, but it was snowing too heavily. He walked over to the couch and floppped on it, and picked up the remote to start flipping through channels.

Meanwhile, Kagura had given up on looking for the rice, and sat next to Kyo on the couch. He, of course, scooted over to the next cushion.

Suddenly, the news came on, and a brunette newswoman was straightening a stack of papers. She turned to the camera, with a solemn look on her face.

"Remember. STAY INDOORS. We urge each and every one of you to make sure you stay out of the snow, we expect temperatures to reach as low as negative 40 degrees. This snowstorm is very serious--"

Kyo turned down the volume and walked over to a window, mumbling all the time something like "Chya... Damn Newscaster doesnt know what she's talking about."

He turned to the door (the one Kagura didn't smash, seeing as how that was at the other end of the house) and opened it.

It looked horrible outside. The sky had turned dark grey, but you could barely see it through all the white flurries, which were flying sideways, most likely due to wind. All of the sudden, Kagura popped up besides Kyo and slammed the door shut.

"It's cold!"

"Damn Newscaster.. does know what she's talking about." Kyo said angrily as he stormed his way back over to the couch and sat down.

"But Kyo... look at all the time we get to spend together!" Kagura replied excitedly with a hug.

That's when the lights flickered.
