Disclaimer: No, I don't own the ultra-wonderful Fruits Basket… just this cute idea.

FINALLY, Blizzard, the sequel to Flurry is here! I overcame writer's block and finally wrote it! –happy dance-

I'm really, really happy with the result—you guys finally get to read it! However, for new readers, I'm going to ask that you go read (and review!) Flurry first, or else you're not going to understand a lot of it.

Thank you for being patient! Here we go!

___

blizzard:

­1. A very heavy snowstorm with high winds.
2. A torrent; a superabundance.

Inside the blue room, the ASB Student Council watched the snow swirl in high winds outside.

Kakeru whistled. "Doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon."

Nao rolled his eyes. "Thanks for stating the obvious."

"Shut up, Chibi."

The cordless phone rang, and all eyes turned to Kimi.

"Kimi is cold and tired," Kimi huffed. "Kimi doesn't want to answer the phone."

They watched it ring twice more, and then Machi reached over and answered it.

"Hello?" she said, and the others waited while the person replied. "… oh. It's not possible? … I see. Well… thank you. Goodbye."

As she hung up, they looked expectantly at her. Machi shuffled; uncomfortable as the centre of attention.

"Apparently, the weather report says the snow is going to last all day," she said. "That was the driver. He says he won't be able to pick us up until tomorrow."

"AWESOME!" Kakeru yelled happily, throwing his arms around Yuki and Nao, the two people nearest to him. "You guys get to spend another day with me!"

Both of them looked ready to bolt into the angry snow.

"Kimi is hungry!" Kimi wailed. "Make Kimi breakfast!"

"I want breakfast too!" Kakeru pouted. "Yun-Yuuuun! Make us breakfast!"

Yuki looked startled. "I'm afraid cooking isn't one of my areas of expertise."

"Sure it is! You're good at everything, Princess!"

WHAP.

"And you're friggin' strong, too," Kakeru groaned as he rubbed his face.

"It comes in handy for dealing with you."

"Let's see," Kimi said, "Kimi would like crêpes, pancakes, hot chocolate, toast with just a little butter, and a soft boiled egg."

Yuki blinked. "What?"

"Yeah!" Kakeru said, quick to recover. "You can make that for all of us, Chef Yun-Yun!"

"Really, I can't—"

"YES you CAN, Chef Yun-Yun!" Kakeru yelled as mock tears appeared in his eyes. "I believe in you!"

Kimi put a finger to her lips. "That might make Chef Yun-Yun feel worse."

"I'm not a chef," Yuki said.

Kakeru took Kimi and Nao by their shoulders. "Call us when you've served the appetizers, see cook plate."

"That's s'il vous plaît," Nao corrected as Kakeru pushed him and Kimi out of the kitchen. "You never learned French, did you?"

"French is the language of love! I can speak it straight from my heart!" Kakeru countered.

"Suuuure," Nao grumbled.

"Come on, Machi," Kakeru called, steering Kimi into the green room while he and Nao went to the blue one.

"I'm coming," Machi said, walking towards the green room, but stopping just behind the wall once the others were out of sight. She peeked over the wall at Yuki, who yawned. He looked really tired… she felt a little sorry for him.

Yuki shuffled over to a cabinet and pulled out a box of pancake mix, a measuring cup, a wooden spoon and a bowl. He put some bread in the toaster.

What am I doing here? Machi blushed, turning away from the kitchen as he lit the stove. I should go… he was probably just joking about not being able to cook. She started to walk away.

WHOOM.

CRACKLE.

Everyone ran back to the kitchen to see the wooden spoon and the bread in the toaster on fire. Yuki was asleep on the countertop.

"WHAT THE HELL YUN-YUN!?"

"See," Kakeru grinned, "something stupid happened and it wasn't my fault!"

"I'm sorry," Yuki said remorsefully as he looked at the remains of the incinerated spoon, burnt toast and the slightly melted toaster.

"You could have killed us all!" Nao screeched. "If Machi and I hadn't used the water from the sink to out the fires, we'd all be dead!"

"You'd be dead," Kakeru corrected. "The rest of us would have run and left you."

"Kimi's still hungryyy," Kimi whined.

"I'll make something, then," Nao said.

"You cook?" Kimi asked.

"I have three sisters," Nao said. "They taught me a bit."

"So Chibi will rescue Yun-Yun's attempt at breakfast!" Kakeru declared. "I'll stay here and make sure the kitchen isn't burnt down again."

"I'm not going to burn down the kitchen!" Nao protested.

"I believe you, Chibi," Kakeru said sarcastically.

"President," Machi said, noticing Yuki nodding off in the middle of the argument, "maybe you should go to sleep."

Yuki looked gratefully at her. "Thanks, Machi… I'm really tired."

Kakeru frowned. "It's only midday."

"And he's already almost destroyed the resort," Nao said. "Let him go to sleep."

"Fine," Kakeru reluctantly agreed, "I hear girls need their beauty sleep, anyway."

SLAP.

"How is it that you're stronger when you're tired?" Kakeru complained.

"I'll never be too tired to hit you," Yuki mumbled.

"Hey, Machi!" she jumped a little; surprised to hear her name. "Why don't you go watch Yun-Yun and make sure he doesn't pummel anything in his sleep?"

"I don't do that," Yuki said.

"Or set anything on fire," Kakeru ignored him. "He's probably a pyromaniac or something."

Instead of arguing, Yuki looked at him in awe. "You know what 'pyromaniac' means?" Nao snickered.

"Whatever, Yun-Yun," Kakeru said. "Just go."

"But Kimi wants to watch Yun-Yun sleep," Kimi pouted.

"We need you here, Pink," Kakeru said. "You need to give your driver our numbers and get him to tell all our people at home that he has to come for us tomorrow."

Nao asked "Why don't we just call ourselves?"

"Because I can't bother," Kakeru said, turning back to Kimi. "And we have to set the table. Only you know where everything is."

"Fine," Kimi grumbled as Yuki and Machi walked away. "Could Yun-Yun really like her?" she pouted.

Kakeru grinned. "He really does."

While Yuki lay down in his bed, Machi sat on the edge in the blue room. He looked really tired, and Machi could see him drifting in and out of sleep.

"President," she said before he could close his eyes again, "I was thinking about what you said earlier."

"When…?" he wondered.

"You said… that I was important to you," she swallowed.

Yuki's eyes were closing against his will. "You are," he said.

"I just wanted you to know—don't take this the wrong way or anything!" Machi's pretty face, blurred by his tired eyes, became red.

"I won't," he promised. "What is it?"

"… you're important to me, too," she blushed madly, crossing her arms and looking away.

Yuki smiled as he fell asleep. The last thing he heard was Machi's voice.

"President, you're very, very important…"

That's the first chapter of Blizzard! I hope you liked it! :D

I honestly don't know when I'll be able to give you guys the second chapter though—my exams are coming soon! (Argh.)

Reviews help; so please review! :D
