Chapter 5
Uo woke up with a jerk as the car hit a bump on the road, making it swerve right and left.
She rubbed her eyes and yawned. She looked at her watch which read 1:20.
She was asleep for half an hour.
Uo stretched and looked out the window, it was still snowing.
"Psst." Uo whispered to Shigure. "Are we almost there?"
"Yes almost, half an hour more to go." He replied. "How was your sleep?"
"Pretty good." Uo said.
Snore
Her eyes widened and turned to her right to see where the snore came from. It was Kyo.
She stifled a laugh and Shigure did too.
"Does he always snore like this?"
Shigure laughed. "Most of the times."
Uo smirked. She turned around to check on Tohru to see she was asleep.
She sighed. Its good she's resting.
Suddenly she noticed that Tohru was asleep on Yuki's shoulder, and the Prince didn't even notice, neither did Tohru.
Uo chuckled silently. Princess and the Prince, she thought smiling. Uo got out her phone out and took a quick picture of them sleeping.
She stared at Tohru some more, watching her sleep on Yuki's shoulder. His head was resting on top of Tohru's.
"Aww how cute." Shigure whispered as he looked at the back in the mirror.
Uo nodded. "They both are so peaceful."
Shigure laughed. "Just wait until they wake up."
"Or who wakes up first." Uo smirked.
Hana was still asleep and so was Kyo who was still snoring.
Since they still had a half hour more to go, Uo decided to go back to sleep. She rested her head against the window and closed her eyes.
-------------------------------------
"Okay! We're here at the Winter Festival!!" Shigure exclaimed happily.
Tohru woke at the sound of Shigure's voice. She blinked her eyes slowly trying to wake up from her nap. Her head was resting on a comfortable position so she didn't move. She rubbed her head against whatever she was leaning on. Curiosity got the best of her, so she looked up.
She was leaning against Yuki!!
Tohru held back a gasp, she jerked her head away and-
Bump
"Ow.." She mumbled rubbing her head which she banged against the window.
She glanced at Yuki to see if she woke him up but he didn't seem to notice. Tohru sighed in relief, but now she started having a headache. She didn't even notice that she went back to lean against Yuki resting her head on his shoulder.
"Kyo!" Shigure yelled. "Get up now sleepy head! We're here!"
He was right. They were here. Tohru looked out the window in front of her to see the Winter Festival. A ferris wheel loomed over the park casting shadows on the ground from the sunlight. Snow covered most of the ground including the booths. Tohru spotted many booths filled with food, games, stuff animals, and more. There was not that much people there, which wasn't surprising since it was a weekday, but still enough to make such huge crowds.
"Ayame wouldn't like this weather." Tohru mumbled. "Snakes aren't fond with cold."
She flinched as she felt Yuki moving beside her, his head rolled next to Tohru's leaning against her head. Then his breathing slowed as he went back to sleep.
Tohru felt her face turn red as she blushed furiously. I can't believe I'm this close to Yuki! And I'm surprised he hasn't transformed... I wonder why.
She realized that Uo and Hana were awake too. They were rummaging through their backpacks quietly so they won't wake up the others.
"Come on wake up you sleepy cat!" Shigure whispered loudly in Kyo's ear.
Kyo mumbled a complaint and swatted Shigure in the face leaving a red mark in his cheek.
But it didn't seem like he was bothered by it. Instead Shigure looked amused. "Oh well then.. I guess if you don't wake up sooner Uo might just have a chance at beating you at sledding. And how sad would that be if your too tired to even budge."
Now that got Kyo's attention. His eyes widened, there was no sign of sleepiness anymore and competition replaced it fast as lightning.
"Okay okay I'm up!" He shouted, he turned to Uo who was holding in laughter. "Just wait until we start the sledding competition, Yankee."
Uo smirked. "I look forward to it."
Shigure smiled approvingly. "That's it! Now off we gooooo-"
"Wait." Hana stopped Shigure as he opened the car door. "Yuki and Tohru are still asleep." She pointed to them.
Tohru quickly closed her eyes, steadying her breathing to make it seem like she was asleep.
"Oh right!" Shigure laughed. "Well you and Uo can wake them up while me and Kyo wait outside." Shigure and Kyo got out of the car, closing it quietly and waited at the side of the car standing in the snow.
"Tohru, I know your awake." Hana said.
Tohru blinked opened her eyes. "Haha yes I am, how did you know?"
"I sensed electric waves coming from you, the way you were breathing and how fast your heart beat was going." Hana replied.
Tohru laughed. "Your so smart Hana."
Uo turned around smirking. "So how was napping on the Prince's shoulder?"
Tohru blushed and looked down. "Oh well um.."
"Hahaha don't worry, I saw you two sleeping."
She blushed even more.
"Well we should wake him up, we don't want to keep Shigure and orange top waiting." Uo said.
Tohru nodded and turned to Yuki shaking his shoulder softly. "Yuki.. Time to wake up, we're here."
Yuki opened his eyes slowly and yawned. "Oh hi Miss Honda, how was your sleep?"
"It was lovely thank you, how was yours?"
Yuki rubbed his eyes. "It was good, I slept the whole time, didn't I?"
Uo laughed. "Pretty much, come on Shigure and Kyo are waiting outside, I'll lift the seat for you guys once we get out."
Tohru nodded gratefully and gathered her things in her backpack. She placed her mom's picture gently inside her bag. Yuki was also getting his backpack ready for the festival.
Uo and Hana were already outside. They lift the seat forward allowing the two to come out from the back.
Once Tohru got out with Yuki following her, she stretched and stretched. "Wow, my legs are really sore from seating down."
"So are mine." Hana said as she stretched her legs.
"Ah there you guys are." Shigure greeted as he walked around the car to meet the four.
"You guys took forever." Kyo grumbled.
Yuki rolled his eyes. "Stupid cat." He muttered.
Shigure checked his things. "Does everyone have their bags?"
They nodded.
"Does everyone have everything they need?"
They nodded again.
"Does anyone need to use the-"
"Alright we get it!" Kyo yelled.
Shigure chuckled. "Okay just making sure, let's walk to the entrance so we can get check in now."
Uo, Hana, Tohru and Yuki follwowd Shigure with Kyo trailing behind them mumbling about how annoying Shigure is.
Once they got checked in and had their bags checked for any weapons or odd items, they all stepped in the Winter Festival.
"Wow!" Tohru gasped. "Its so beautiful!"
Uo nodded in agreement.
"So many electric waves coming from the ferris wheel." She pointed to the big structure at the end of the park.
Shigure faced the group. "Okay let's all split into two pairs so that we won't get lost, everyone has each other's number so we will be able to contact everyone if there's an emergency or if we need to meet somewhere."
"How long are we staying?" Hana asked.
"As long as you want." Shigure replied. "We usually stay until closing, that's when all the lights come on which makes everything brighten up! Its a very wonderful sight."
"Cool." Uo smiled. "We should stay until closing time then."
Everyone agreed.
"Okay!" Shigure announced. "We should all be in pairs." He turned to Kyo and Uo. "Since you both want to have tour sledding competition, you two should pair up."
Kyo grumbled in disgust. "Fine."
Uo smirked. "I guess I'm stuck with you the whole day."
Kyo walked towards the sledding mountain. "Come on unless you want me to beat your butt!" He started sprinting towards the mountain.
Uo narrowed her eyes. "Oh you're so on!" She sprinted after him.
Yuki turned to Tohru. "You don't mind if we be partners, Miss Honda? Since its your first time, I want to show you around."
Tohru brightened. "I'd love too!" She turned to Hana. "I'm sorry Hana if that's okay I go with Yuki."
Hana smiled. "Oh no, there's no need to worry, its my first time too and maybe Shigure can show me around."
Shigure nodded. "Of course! Then its settled, you two have fun and call me in case if there's an emergency." He led Hana through the crowd chattering about the festival.
Yuki held out his arm to Tohru. "Shall we?"
Tohru blushed. "Yes we may." She took his arm and followed Yuki through the crowd of people.
