The Fog

Chapter 2: Out of the Darkness

"Here's your stop, fellas." The taxi driver said as he stopped.

"Thank you!" Tohru said as she paid the man.

The four stepped out of the crammed taxi.

"Whoa..." Kyo said, breath taken at the sight. "I told you it's gonna be great!" Tohru said excitedly.

"Come on, let's go." Yuki said as he grabbed his suitcase and walked toward the inn.

"Welcome to the House on the Hill Inn." The old woman said at the counter.

"Yes, can we have 2 rooms?" Uo asked. "Oh, I'm sorry, there's only one room left. Would take that one?" She said.

"Umm... what do you think guys?" Tohru asked the boys.

"As long as there are 3 beds." Kyo said.

"Three?" Yuki questioned.

"Yeah, you kuso nezumi,

one each for the girls and one for me!" He retorted.

"What about me you #!$?& neko?" Yuki asked angrily. "You sleep on the couch." Kyo said, his temper rising.

"Ahem, excuse me?" the woman asked.

"WHAT?" the boys yelled, causing everyone in the lobby to stare at them.

"Your room awaits you." She said calmly, taking in no idea that the boys had yelled at her.

Yuki straightened himself and walked after the girls. Kyo growled something under his breath and followed suit.

"Well, it isn't 5 stars, that's for sure." Uo said as she entered the room.

"NO!" Kyo said as he observed the bed. "What, Kyo? What is it? Is there something wrong?" Tohru asked worriedly.

"THERE'S ONLY ONE BED!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.

Yuki walked over to Kyo and poked his ribs.

Kyo immediately fell on the floor, unconscious.

"Eep!" Tohru said as she saw the crumpled figure of what was a yelling maniac. "Magic finger, nice touch, prince!" Uo said, but stopped dead when she saw that he wasn't breathing.

"KYON! KYON! WAKE UP! KYON!" Uo said frantically as she shook him to kingdom come.

"Gasp! Hack hack cough Uhh...What the #$! did you do to me, you kuso Nezumi?" Kyo started.

"Whoa, I'm sorry. Either I don't know my own strength, or you're really weak." Yuki saidsarcastically, observing his own fingers.

Uo was speechless. She had never heard the prince speak so coldly before.

"Uo, I think it's time you should know about the curse..." Tohru started.

Yuki and Kyo nodded, because Uo looked so lost.

"Oh, my god." Uo said as the truth sinked inside her head. "Ahh...Yuki, can you come over here?" Tohru said as she sighed.

Yuki came over and she hugged him. Nothing happened.

"Nothing happened!" Kyo exclaimed.

"No, really?" Yuki asked him with rolled eyes.

Kyo began to growl dangerously at this comment. "Kyo, calm down!" Tohru said worriedly as she flailed her arms about.
