Chapter 3 ~ The 12 horoscopes...
"Look! It's the 12 horoscopes! Like usual, Scorpio Gemini Capricorn and Aries are in the front! Leading the pack!" a girl said.
Another girl said," Scorpio is so cool!"
When Yuki looked out of the window, she saw a whole group of people coming by and two boys and two girls in the front. The boy stopped when he saw Yuki.
"What's wrong Shiki?" the girl asked.
'What... What a handsome boy!' Yuki thought when she saw Shiki.
"Are you
that Cursed night princess?" Shiki asked.
"Huh?" Yuki asked and nodded her head.
Shiki glanced at the girl.
"Yuki Cross..." the girl said.
"Yes..?" Yuki asked.
The whole pack of group bowed down before her.
"What... What's happening?" Yuki asked.
"Your highness, you've finally arrived," the girl said.
"You are..?" Yuki asked.
"Hope. Hope Sohma," Hope replied.
"I'm Shiki Sohma, Hope's older brother," Shiki said.
"Okay... Why are there 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 people in this group?" Yuki asked.
"We are the 12 horoscopes," Ayuzawa answered.
"But there are only eleven," Yuki said.
"One of them is missing," Ayuzawa said.
"You... You are Takishima's friend, right" Yuki asked," i met you on the first day of school."
"No, I'm his fiancee," Ayuzawa replied.
"Oh yeah... Now i remember," Yuki said.
'She has such a short memory and today is only the second day,' the 12 of the thought.
"Anyways, we are the 12 horoscopes, destined to help you and your family," Hope said," We are grouped into 4 elements. Fire, Earth, Air and Water. I'm under Fire. My nickname is Aries. I rule the planet Mars."
"I'm under Water. My nickname is Scorpio. I rule the planet Pluto," Shiki said.
"I'm under Air. My nickname is Gemini. I rule the planet Mercury," Ayuzawa said.
"Okay, wait so you mean you guys are stars? As in the ones you see in the sky?" Yuki asked.
"Not exactly..." Shiki said.
"They are born with the star signs marked on their left shoulder," Mizuki said as she appeared in between them.
"Mizu!" Yuki said in shock.
"Don't call me that!" Mizuki said.
"What are you doing here?" a boy with blue brown hair came up to ask her.
"To explain things to Yuki," Mizuki replied.
"He is..?" Yuki asked.
"My boyfriend. Ayame. He's under Earth. His nickname is Capricorn. He rules the planet Saturn," Mizuki said.
"Bo...Boyfriend?'Yuki asked.
"Yeah," Mizuki said," you should find one too."
"Huh?" Yuki said.
"She already has one,"they heard a male voice from behind.
"Aido!" Ayame said," are you feeling a bit better now?"
"Yup!" a boy with green hair said as he stopped beside Yuki,"she's mine."
"Huh?" everyone in the hall said.
"I don't remember saying that i would be your girlfriend moreover...
Who are you?" Yuki asked as she moved to Mizuki's side.
"..."
"He's one of the most famous pop singer in this area," Shiki said.
"He doesn't look like one," Yuki said and walked away.
"What the..." Aido said.
"Aido-sama..." all the girls said as they walked towards him.
"Good morning my little angels!" Aido said in a charming tone.
"Don't manipulate them for goodness sake," Mizuki mumbled.
Back at the Sakura garden...
"Stupid guy. He suddenly said those kind of things in the crowd. Moreover... I don't even know who he is," Yuki mumbled to herself.
"Who?" She heard Zero from over her shoulder.
"Z...Zero?!" Yuki asked in shock," what...What are you doing here?!"
"I was sleeping on one of the trees hen i saw you passing by," he said.
"S...Sleeping? On a sakura tree?" Yuki mumbled.
"So... Who's that guy you keep talking about? Could that guy be your boyfriend?" Zeroo asked.
"No! There's already someone i like!" Yuki said.
"..."
"Um.. Pretend you didn't hear that sentence!" Yuki said and turned around.
"Heh... Who is it?" Zero said as he put his mouth next to her ear.
"You...You don't need to know!" Yuki said.
"Never mind, I'm going back to sleep," Zero said and jumped back to one of the trees and slept.
"Weirdo," Yuki mumbled and walked away.
"That direction..." Zero mubled to himself when he saw Yuki," Crap! That's..."
"Where am i ?" Yuki asked when she saw a giant clock tower,"this is a... clock... tower?"
"Yuki!" Zero shouted.
"Crap... She couldn't have..." Zero said.
Inside the clock tower...
"Amazing... I didn't know that the school had such a place..."Yuki said when she went in.
"Huh?" Yuki said when she saw a staircase to go down and went down," i wonder where this leads to...."
"Yuki!" Zero said as he entered the tower.
He walked towards the door to the staircase leading down and foun that it was locked.
"Damn it! It must be him!" Zero said," Altais! Re Telesco! Takishima's Class!"
"Roger!" Altais said and the two of them disappeared.
At Takishima's classroom...
"To telecommun..."the teacher said when Zero suddenly opened the door and glared at Takishima.
"Zero..." Takishima said.Zero closed his eyes and so did Takishima.
"You're kidding!" Takishima said as he stood up. and ran out of the room with Zero.
"How did that happen?!" Takishima asked.
"She went to the wrong direction and entered that place!" Zero said as they continued to run.
At the clock tower...
"Mizuki!" Takishima said when he saw her.
"Takishima... Yuki is in here," Mizuki said and saw Zero.
"Zero... You know him right?" Mizuki asked.
"Ya," Zero said.
"He... Gaito... The dark spirit that's attatched to your body since birth," Mizuki said.
"Don't talk about it," Zero said.
"Sorry but... How do we get in?" Mizuki asked.
"Just open the door with Yuki's hand," Zero said.
"That's not very useful cause she's the one being trapped!" Mizuki said.
"So what do we do now?" Takishima asked.
Meanwhile at the bottom of the clock tower...
"Where is this place? Why are there so many prisons..?" Yuki asked.
"Rawr!" One of the monsters suddenly came up.
"Ah!" Yuki said and tripped.
"Good morning... My princess..." a man with orange hair said as he walked towards Yuki," are you alright.
"Who are you? Where is this place?" Yuki asked.
"I'm Gaito. The one you people call The Dark Spirit..." Gaito said as he leaned forward towards Yuki.
"Stay away from me!" Yuki shouted and pushed him away.
"I guess my little friend wasn't wrong... You are so very cute..." Gaito said as he showed a picture of Zero.
"Zero!" Yuki said.
"What's wrong?" Gaito said.
"Zero would never do such a thing!" Yuki said.
"You don't even know him that well," Gaito said.
"Then what about you?" Yuki asked.
"I'm the dark spirit attatched to him..." Gaito said.
"What... That's... That's..." Yuki said.
"That's?" Gaito asked as he lifted up her head with his hands.
"I said don't touch me!" Yuki shouted and gave off an incredible amount of light.
Outside the clock tower...
"Yuki!" Zero said as he banged the door.
"Zero don't go there! Yuki is currently..." Mizuki said and paused.
"Currently what?!" Zero shouted.
""She's currently undergoing a process which might lead us to instant death. You know what i'm talking about..." Mizuki said.
"No... It can't be! I haven't told her yet!" Zero said.
"Yuki! Yuki!" Zero shouted as he banged the door.
"Zero... It's useless," Takishima said as he patted Zero's shoulder.
"It can't be..." Zero said and shouted even louder," Yuki!"
Inside the clock tower...
"Zero..?" Yuki said and ran up the stairs.
"Yuki! " Gaito shouted at her," Acubens! Mi Vilnet!"
"Yosh!" Acubens said as vines started to tie Yuki up.
"What?!" Yuki shouted," Alphecca! El Limasto!"
"Got it!" Alphecca said and a rage of fire burnt all the vines.
"Rei Flicato!" Yuki said as she sat on Alphecca.
"Roger!" Alphecca said and flew up and out of the tower.
"Yuki!" Zero shouted when he saw her.
"Zero!" Yuki said as she landed on the floor.
"What's wrong?" the four of them heard from behind.
"Shiki! Hope! Ayu! Aya!" Yuki saiid when she saw them," why are you guys here?"
"We heard a loud explosive sound and came to check it out!" Shiki said.
"Mizuki said she went to the toilet and was taking to long so i went to find her and bumped into them!" Ayame said and glared at Mizuki.
"Ha..ha..." Mizuki said in a weak tone.
"Anyways... what happened and who is
he?" Hope asked as she pointed at the clock tower.
