"Ninety bottles of beer on the wall...Ninety bottles of beer on the wall. Take one down, pass it around. Eighty-nine bottles of beer on the wall..." Yuki sang to herself as she stared at he ceiling. She has reached a new level of boredom.
Yuki yawned. Being bored was extremely tiring. "Eighty-nine bottles of beer on the wall..." Yuki yawned. "Eighty-nine bottles of beer on the wall...take one down..." She yawned again. "Pass it around...eighty..." She yawned again. "Eight bottles of beer on the...wall..."
And she was out.
Yuki had a nightmare. This wasn't new, but this time, she was like Miki Sayaka. Kyubey approached her and Yuki stupidly made a wish for the man she loved. And that lead to her own tragedy of her becoming a witch and being killed. But unlike Sayaka, Yuki died alone. In this nightmare and many others, she was alone.
Oh, but there was a happy ending. Kyoya married damn Karen.
"Kyoya!" Yuki gasped as her eyes flew open. She was in a cold sweat again. But when she awoke, she felt warm. She actually felt warm. Yuki always felt so cold. She could have the hottest shower and feel like she was with the penguins in Antarctica. And this warmth was so nice and comforting...
Yuki realized that there was another duvet blanket and quilt over her main duvet and quilt. She was certain this wasn't on her before. Yuki turned her head. Kyoya was sleeping peacefully and beautifully beside her. Kyoya. Was. Sleeping. In. Her. Bed. With. Her.
Startled, Yuki screamed and rolled away. But she didn't realize she was on the edge so she naturally just rolled off the bed. The floor may have carpet, but it still freaking hurt. Yuki groaned swears as she rubbed the back of her head. What the hell is going on!? Why is Kyoya sleeping in the same bed as her if he has his own goddamn bed!? Yuki blushed furiously uncontrollably. They haven't shared a bed since high school when they were going out...
"What the hell are you screaming for?" Kyoya growled from the bed. Yuki began to panic and mentally curse to herself.
"Y-you! What th-the hell are you doing in my bed!?" Yuki stammered as she jumped to her feet. He opened his eyes and glared at her.
"When the power went out, the heat wasn't on, dumbass. We were both freezing our asses off, so I grabbed my duvet cover and slept in your bed for body heat. Any more damn questions?" Kyoya explained.
"You are such a crankass in the morning. I feel bad for Karen." Yuki snapped angrily. Kyoya ignored her and rolled over so his back was to her. Yuki flipped him off.
"I saw that." Yuki scowled. She noticed that the electronic clock was working, but cold swept over her again. The power must be back on. It was eleven. Damn. She missed breakfast. But she really didn't have much of an appetite anyway.
She grabbed her phone and decided to call tech support for her laptop.
"Thank you for calling. You're caller number 256. We'll be with you soon." The automatic voice stated.
"What number are you at now?" Yuki asked. It switched to elevator music. Yuki cursed to herself. She can't just hang up. If she were to call back, she would be caller number 456 or 556 or something. Yuki didn't know when they'll be with her. It could be in minutes. Or even hours...
Yuki had no choice but to remain on the phone. Holding her to her ear, Yuki searched the lodge for her friends. She looked out the window of the lobby and spotted them all snowboarding and skiing. Reika was running around in the snow happily. Wait. Wasn't Reika in her room with her?
The twins drifted snow onto Tamaki's face and then continued down the hill. Tamaki took off after them on his own snowboard. Yuki laughed when Tamaki wiped out.
Also, outside, she noticed Kyoya's car and got a brilliant idea. Yuki snuck back up to her room. Kyoya was still fast asleep. He left his car keys unattended on the nightstand. Silently, Yuki snatched them and retreated. In the lobby, she turned the phone on speaker and set it aside. Yuki found some sheets of paper and she tore it into as many tiny pieces as she could. With the confetti, she went into Kyoya's car and poured all of the pieces in the vent on the dash. She didn't have the car on, but she set the defroster on full blast for when Kyoya does turn on his car.
After returning his keys, Yuki was still listening to the elevator music. The members of the former host club excluding Kyoya entered the lobby caked with snow with Reika trotting happily behind them.
"Yuki!" They called to her. Yuki glared at Hikaru and Kaoru.
"Where's Kyo-chan?" Hunny asked.
"In our room. He's being a real crankass now." She grumbled.
"What are you doing on your phone?" Haruhi questioned.
"I'm on hold for tech support." She replied bitterly.
"Tech support?" Haruhi raised her eyebrows.
"Because some pain in the ass carrot tops scared me last night and made me spill my hot chocolate all over my laptop!" Yuki growled.
"Guys! That's terrible! You probably ruined one of Yuki's possessions." Haruhi cried at the laughing twins.
"Technically, she was the one who spilled it. She did this to herself." The Hitachiin twins protested.
"You were the ones who made me!" Yuki snapped.
"Guys! Stop fighting! Lets split this cake and make up!" Hunny declared, and out of nowhere, he pulled a platter of cake. Hunny cut the cake into four equal pieces, but kept the strawberry for himself. Yuki couldn't really manage cake. She lost her appetite. So she just kind of stood there holding her plate on one hand, and the other hand was holding her phone to her ear.
"I don't think cake is the solution for everything..." Haruhi sighed. "What happened to Tamaki?"
"The big idiot's playing an arcade machine." Kyoya announced, startling everyone. He was dressed casually with his hair a little messy.
"This cake is delicious. Yuki-chan, do you plan on eating your piece?" Hunny asked with a mouth full of cake. He looked at where Yuki was standing.
"Where'd she go?"
"Over there!" Kaoru pointed across the lobby. Yuki purchased a mug of hot chocolate and gave it to a boy who was sad. She also gave him her piece of cake. The boy cheered up and she smiled. The boy then returned to his family.
"Do you know that boy?" Haruhi asked Yuki when she returned.
"The one I was just with? No." Yuki answered.
"But you bought him hot chocolate and gave him your cake." The twins pointed out.
"And?" Yuki didn't see what the problem was. "The boy wanted some hot chocolate, but didn't have the money. So I bought it for him. And I told him it would taste better if he had some cake with it and gave my cake to him."
Everyone agreed to eat lunch. Yuki finally managed to stomach some soup. But for some reason Yuki would never know, Kyoya was mad that she didn't eat much. Why would he care so much? They're over.
Also, Haruhi seemed to be ignoring the pestering Tamaki. Yuki wondered if they got in a fight. At the same time, Yuki thought it was pretty funny. Tamaki would try to be affectionate and then Haruhi would reject him and give him the cold shoulder. She seemed to be at him. Yuki had a feeling Tamaki knew why she was mad. He must've done something stupid. Or maybe it's what he didn't do...
After lunch, they hit the slopes. Yuki and Kyoya went back to their room to get their gear. But Yuki realized something. She couldn't snowboard. She's still on hold.
Yuki sighed and took off her jacket and flopped down on her bed.
"I thought you were going snowboarding." Kyoya said.
"I'm still on hold. What if its my turn while I'm snowboarding and I miss it? Then I'll have to call again! And then I'll have to wait as long as I'm waiting now or maybe even longer!" Yuki responded.
"If it matters that much to you, just put the phone under your goggles strap when you put them on." Kyoya suggested.
"You're brilliant!" Yuki was thrilled now. She really did like to snowboard, but was afraid she was going to miss out because some rotten carrot tops broke her laptop. Yuki threw her jacket back on and did what Kyoya told her to do so her phone was still positioned on her ear, but now she didn't have to hold it. "It's great having blood flowing n my arm again."
"We better get going." Kyoya announced. He was dressed in designer snow gear. Yuki thought how hot and attractive he looked. Honestly, it was like she was getting more and more attracted to him by the day. Yuki doubted if she'll be able to survive till the end of the trip. Her feelings weren't going away. If it was possible, she was growing to love him more and more. It was driving her crazy. And she tried to hard to find the negative. But he seemed to become more perfect by the hour. She can't take it much longer.
"Where's Yuki?" Haruhi asked when Kyoya met up with them outside.
"She went off somewhere. She told me to go on without her and will catch up with us." Kyoya replied.
But Yuki never caught up with them.
"Where's Yuki?"
"She's helping a lost child over there!"
"Has anyone seen Yuki?"
"I saw her helping an injured person get to the lodge."
"Where did Yuki go?"
"I think she's helping someone carry their luggage inside the lodge."
"Wasn't she just snowboarding with us?"
"Yeah, but she went to go stop some bullies over there."
"Yuki!" Hikaru and Kaoru called over to her after she finished assisting a girl with a disability. "You haven't snowboarded with us much! C'mon!" They linked arms with her and dragged her to the slopes.
"Guys! I have a better idea!" Yuki broke free and they turned towards her. "We can rent snowmobiles!" She pointed over to the side of lodge where there were many snowmobiles lined up and a sign that said "Rent a Snowmobile."
They agreed. Mori, Hunny, Haruhi, Tamaki, and Kyoya also joined in and rented one. But Yuki, Hikaru, and Kaoru sped ahead of everyone and raced each other high up in the mountains, leaving the others towards the bottom of the mountains.
Yuki exploded past the twins and weaved her way through the trees. They were now on the other side of the mountain, where it was only them. Hikaru and Kaoru sped up to catch up to Yuki, but she only accelerated.
Only, Yuki didn't see the giant tree root. It was hard to miss, but somehow Yuki missed it. At the speed she was going, her snowmobile flipped and rolled. Yuki screamed as she fell off into the snow. Her snowmobile ended up upright when it stopped rolling.
"YUKI!" The concerned Hitachiin twins pulled over their snowmobiles and rushed over to her. Yuki sat up.
"Don't worry, guys. I'm fine." She assured and smiled. "It was startling, but it was kind of fun." Yuki got to her feet. Suddenly, there was a rumble, and Yuki felt the snow below her shake a little.
"Earthquake?" The twins cocked their head to one side. Yuki's eyes widened as she gaped at what was behind the twins.
"No! Avalanche!" Yuki cried. The avalanche was quite a ways away, but it was accelerating towards them at a fast rate. "Let's get the hell out of here!" They scrambled for their snowmobiles and tore down the mountain.
The forest cleared, but there was much to go until they reached the bottom or even on the other side of the mountain. Yuki dared to look back. It wasn't even a mile away. Her heart was pounding right out of her chest. Yuki almost forgot how to breathe. They weren't going to make it. It's going to drown them in snow and no one will ever find them or come to save them. Yuki suddenly wondered why she kept attracting near-death experiences. But this time, it would probably just be death, not near-death.
Out of no where, Yuki spotted a cave. It was nestled inside the mountain. She barely saw the cave mouth. But it would require a sharp turn. The turn could be so sharp that the snowmobile would roll and then they would die.
"Guys!" Yuki called to get Hikaru and Kaoru's attention. They looked over at her. She motioned to them and accelerated. They followed her as she made the sharp turn inside the cave. Once safely inside, they came to a stop and waited the avalanche out.
Unfortunately, though, the avalanche blocked out their entrance. They were trapped.
"How convenient." The twins remarked. "Thanks, Yuki. We would've be dead.." The twins hopped off their snowmobile. Yuki turned the headlights on her snowmobile and hopped off.
"Great. We're trapped." Yuki grumbled.
"Why don't you use your phone to call for help?" Kaoru asked.
"But then I'll miss my turn! I can't risk it!" Yuki protested. The twins gave her a look.
"Look on the bright side." Hikaru said. Yuki and Kaoru turned to Hikaru. "There aren't any jellyfish in here."
