Two Zodiacs

Chpt 27

I packed clothes for the hot spring trip which was today. The car we would drive in to get there arrived.

"Come on guys!" Momiji urged. I dashed downstairs and loaded my things. We all sat in the car together.

---

We arrived. A woman with dark circles under her eyes came over to us.

"Hello. I am the owner of the Sohma family hot springs." She informed. "I'll show you to your room."

---

The room was large with four doors one labeled 'To Hot Springs'.

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't know there wasn't enough room! I'm a disgrace! I'm so sorry!" The woman apologized historically.

"No no it's ok." I assured. "We can share rooms."

"If you insist." The woman bowed then left.

"Ok so who's gonna sleep where?" I asked.

"I have it all planed out! Tohru and Carnation can share a room. Kyo and Yuki can share a room. Then Crystal and I can share a room!" Momiji exclaimed then threw his arms around me.

"Wait what." I stuttered.

"I'd never share a room with that damned rat!" Kyo shouted.

"Then maybe Tohru and Carnation can sleep together. Kyo and Momiji can share. And Yuki and I can share!" I decided.

"What I'm not gonna sleep with that brat!" Kyo retorted.

"WAH! CRYSTAL I WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU! KYO IS A MEANY! WAAAAH!" Momiji cried.

"Kyo it's either Yuki or Momiji." Carnation informed.

"Fine I'll take Momiji." Kyo grumbled then stomped into his room with Momiji following. Yuki and I picked a room and put our stuff down.

"Are you sure you're alright with me staying in here?" Yuki asked.

"Yeah it's fine!" I assured. "Want to go to the hotsprings?"

"Sure I'll go change in the bathroom." Yuki informed then walked into the bathroom. I quickly undressed and wrapped a towel around myself. I left the room. Carnation and Tohru stood wrapped in a towel.

"Hi Crystal! Are you going to the hot springs too?" Tohru asked.

"Yeah. Are Momiji and Kyo coming?" I asked.

"Probably." Carnation shrugged. I noticed Tohru was holding a picture.

"Whats that?" I asked.

"It's a picture of my mom. It's so that she can enjoy the hotsprings too. My mom died a year ago." Tohru informed.

"Oh I'm sorry." I replied.

"It's alright Crystal." Tohru assured.

"She's on the rainbow bridge." I smiled.

"What's the rainbow bridge?" Tohru asked.

"My mom always told me, that when our loved ones die they go to the rainbow bridge and wait for us and help us into heaven." I informed.

"That's very nice Crystal." Yuki complemented from behind. I jumped up.

"AH! YUKI!" I screamed. He wore a white towel around his waste and no shirt. I turned fast and blushed.

"I'm sorry Crystal did I frighten you?" Yuki asked.

"No no. It's uh fine." I assured still blushing.
