The Twin Rabbits (Yuki Sohma)

Wen-Den, What?

  Behind them the bus pulled away, leaving the four Sohma's and Tohru at the entryway of the "Sohma Hot Spring." Katsumi slouched against Kyo, rubbing her eye's sleepily.

"Hey! Why are you leaning on me! Stop, go lean on Yuki!" The cat shouted, shoving her against the shoulder.

"Aw, Kyo! Don't be such a grumpy kitten, and let Sumi lean on you! She is so tired, look at how adorable she is!" Momiji protested, gesturing to his sleepy sister. She yawned drowsily, her bunny ears popping out as she does so. Kyo looks away, a blush feathering his cheeks.

"Fine..." The red-headed cat grounds out, wrapping an arm around her shoulder to support her.

"Thanks Kyo," she murmurs quietly, smiling softly up at him.

"Wow! This place is a wonderful inn!" Tohru exclaimed, clasping her hands together in delight.

"It's really nice on the inside, too!" Momiji informs her, bouncing around.

"Getting to go to a hot spring for white day, this is amazing! I almost feel like I've turned into a princess!" Her friend sighs dreamily, sucked into dreamland.

"Majesty, you look radiant!" Momiji cries, bowing in front of Tohru.

"How's something so small make her feel like royalty?" Kyo asks Katsumi, looking down at her. She shrugs, tapping her finger to her chin.

"You. I see you. Yes, welcome to the inn. Welcome." Tohru let out a terrified screech, grabbing onto Momiji's shoulder. Katsumi giggled slightly at her friends reaction, still clinging onto Kyo's arm.

"Properness!" Her brother chirps, pointing a finger at the proprietress.

"Proprietress," both Yuki and Katsumi corrected. They look at each other, and smile warmly.

"Not that she's very proper either," she mumbled with a shake of her head.

"Please! Make yourselves at home, my dears!" Ri-Chan's mother shouted, before suddenly recovering from her manic episode. She smiles at them, her eyes worn and tired.

"I apologize if I startled you," she says with a bow. Katsumi rested her head on Kyo's shoulder as he piggybacked her through the inn, her head spun with memories. She squeezed her eyes shut, wishing them away.

"You've been such a good girl lately, so I'm going to reward you. What do you say about a nice little vacation away, the Sohma's hot spring would be nice..."

She clenched her fingers tightly onto Kyo's red shirt, bunching the soft red fabric between her fingers.

"It would be a shame, to miss out on such a gorgeous view..."

Katsumi squeezed her fist tighter, she wanted it to stop! She wanted his voice out of her head, but no, she could still feel his touch against her skin. Kyo dumped her on the floor, turning around to glare at her.

"Hey! Would you stop squeezing my shirt so tight you damn rab-" The boy stopped short, looking at the terrified faraway look in her eyes. Her fists were still clenched, and her whole body shaking.

"Sumi, is something the matter?" Momiji asked, crouching down in front of his sister. Everyone in the room turned to look at the twins, it was obvious that something was wrong. Katsumi was looking at Momiji, but she wasn't looking at him- but rather through him. Her eyes were empty, and her face mirroring terror.

"Katsumi?" Kyo called, waving a hand in front of her face.

"Pardon?" She says, shaking her head. Momiji sits on the ground next to her, pulling her in for a cuddle.
