"Yuki! Yuki! Yuki, wake up! Wake up, goddammit!"

Yuki's eyes flew open. She was breathless, in a cold sweat, cheeks wet, her throat sore, and Haruhi stood over her, gripping her shoulders and shaking her violently. It was late that night and everyone is fast asleep.

"Are you okay?" Yuki asked. "Is everyone okay? What's wrong?"

"No, Yuki. Are you okay? You had a nightmare. You were screaming and crying and thrashing around in your sleep." Haruhi explained, concern written all over her face.

"I'm fine...I'm so sorry I woke you. Really. I feel awful." Yuki apologized.

"Don't be. I'm just glad you're okay. What was the nightmare about, anyway?" Haruhi already knew the answer, but she wanted to see if Yuki would give her a response.

Kyoya. The nightmare was so vivid and had Kyoya in it. Whatever happened in the nightmare, Yuki couldn't remember. But all of her dreams when she sleeps were nightmares of Kyoya.

"I...can't remember. Sorry." Yuki replied softly. Haruhi nodded. She understood and didn't press her.

"Let's try to get some sleep, shall we?"


The group spent the day snowboarding and skiing together. It was a fun, care-free day. Yuki and the twins kept racing each other, Yuki winning more races than them. They went on the toughest slopes with Hunny and Mori, and even Kyoya a few times, while Tamaki was stuck on the bunny slope. Haruhi was better than him when they hit the slopes, but stayed with him, otherwise she'd have to hear his whining.

But things started really getting interesting when dinner rolled around…

Yuki had showed up a little late because...well, she's Yuki. Are you surprised?

"Yuki! We got you your menu!" Tamaki handed Yuki the kiddie menu with crayons.

"This is a freaking kids menu!" Yuki snapped.

"He got us one too." The twins chimed up.

"Maybe he didn't get it because of your age, but your maturity." Hunny suggested. Yuki gaped at him. And of everyone in the group, it's Hunny who looks and acts the most childlike.

"You three are the children of this family! And as the children, you have to eat what children eat!" Tamaki explained. Yuki rolled her eyes.

"Not with Yuki's appetite." Kyoya muttered. Yuki twitched.

"She's like a bottomless pit." The twins added. Yuki twitched again, shot some glares, and then started pouting.

"You guys are terrible." She grumbled. But it didn't end there. Yuki and Kyoya spent the dinner bickering over the lack of food Yuki ordered.

"Your body isn't getting the proper nutrients it needs."

"So what? What's it to ya, anyway?" Yuki snapped.

"If your body isn't getting enough nutrients, it won't be able to sustain itself and you will die." She didn't respond to Kyoya. Kyoya narrowed his eyes.

"Yuki." Tamaki called. She turned her head to face him. "Can I color your picture?" He was referring to the kiddie menu, which had a picture children can color in with the provided crayons.

"Knock yourself out." Yuki pushed the crayons and picture towards Tamaki.

"Yay!" Tamaki started happily coloring while Haruhi and Yuki exchanged hopeless looks.

So almost everyone ordered a soup or salad as an appetizer, except for Yuki who wasn't hungry. Yuki was observing everyone eat their soups. And, unfortunately, her eyes fell on Kyoya and Karen, who were splitting a bowl of soup and emfreaking feeding each other the freaking soup./em Karen was as happy as a clam, and Kyoya had a smirk on his face. They freaking took turns. Kyoya would feed Karen a spoonful of soup. He never did that with Yuki. And Karen would feed Kyoya a spoonful and Kyoya will willfully open his mouth. Yuki had to freaking shove it in at first! But it was Kyoya's idea to feed Karen! Dammit! Maybe Kyoya never loved Yuki. Maybe he loves Karen.

Yuki was on the verge of tears all of a sudden. This was too much. But if she excuses herself to the bathroom, then everyone will think she's weak a can't handle being around the two. She has to get over Kyoya. She has to move on and accept that it was in the past. To Yuki, it was obvious that Kyoya loves Karen. He never loved Yuki. And Yuki got her hopes up that perhaps something would work out between them. She should've known better. How bittersweet. She's reunited with her true family and love, but she will never be his love. Yuki has to make this work. This is her family…

"Hey, Yuki? Want to try some soup?" Hikaru asked Yuki, who was sitting next to her.

"What? Sure..." Yuki snapped from her depressing thoughts. Suddenly, Hikaru grabbed Yuki's hand and pulled her over to him. And before she could even react, he pressed his lips against Yuki's, the hot soup transferring from his mouth to hers. Everyone gasped and their jaws dropped. Yuki's eyes widened and her face flushed from embarrassment and alarm.

Hikaru released Yuki and pulled away. Yuki swallowed. Hikaru looked rather proud of himself and smug. Kaoru looked at Kyoya's expression and grinned.

"What the hell, Hikaru!?" Yuki stammered, still in shock.

"Oh, you wanted to try it the normal way? I didn't know. You didn't specify." Hikaru said innocently. Yuki gave him a look. "By the way, you're a fabulous kisser." Yuki blushed a deeper shade of red.

"Oh my god! You two should hook up! You two are so adorable together. Of course, not as adorable as Kyoya and I, but no couple is. That's not your fault. Kyoya and I just have such great chemistry and passion and heat. But you and Hikaru are cute. Just hook up! You two can go on a date. I know this amazing restaurant you two can go to when we go back. It has the best food there. Of course, not as good as my cooking!" Karen babbled. Yuki was ten seconds away from shooting her. Conceited people seriously bugged her. Tamaki was conceited and annoying, but it was more comedic. And Tamaki had such a big heart and took good care of Yuki. Yuki feels that she's in a greater debt to Tamaki than her original debt to Kyoya. But Karen just won't stop talking!

Hikaru and Kaoru grew rather irritated. Their plan had backfired. Kaoru stood up and walked over to Yuki.

"A good kisser, you say, Hikaru?" Kaoru asked him, cupping Yuki's chin.

"Kaoru-" Kaoru cut Yuki off by kissing her as well. Yuki went into shock again. Kaoru pulled away and smirked, returning to his seat. Yuki gaped at the pair.

"Stop sexually harassing my daughter, you shady twins! And Yuki! You're supposed to rebuff them with a good swing at them! You gotta defend yourself!" Tamaki cried.
