Chapter I
"Come on you stupid cat, your going to make us miss the flight." Yuki called over his shoulder. Kyo thudded down the stairs his suitcase trailing behind him.
"If anyone makes us late it won't be me, ya damn rat!" Kyo tossed his bag into the rental van and flopped down into seat. He was dreading the flight to America; so many things could go wrong, not enough fuel, the plane falls apart, or some other irrational occurrence that would only happen if he was on the plane.
"Kyo, are you even listening to me, move over, we still have to fit the rest of us in here. Kyo looked up to see Shigure standing outside the van with a few more Sohmas waiting around. With a grunt, Kyo shifted to the far corner of the van, spending the rest of the trip staring out the window.
The ride was over, and they were at the airport all too soon, Kyo stood behind the van as he looked up at the dreaded building in front of him. Hatori ushered them all into the building and into a corner of chairs before checking on the flight staff. They'd be taking the Sohma private jet. Kyo fidgeted in his seat, getting more and more uncomfortable the closer they got to getting on the flight. Looking out the full length windows, Kyo watched as a plane zoomed down the run way, the front wheels lifting off the ground inch by inch, foot by foot till the entire plane was hovering a few feet off the ground and still rising. Swallowing the lump in his throat, Kyo turned from the window and concentrated on the people walking by.
"Kyo," He looked up to see Hatori hovering over him. "Come on, where boarding now." Kyo stiffly stood up and shuffled over to the door leading out onto the field. He walked down the ramp like a man on death row; praying for a last minute save, and up the steps to the plane the same way.
"Wow! Look at all these buttons." Momiji had turned into the pilots' cockpit, and was inspecting the buttons over the seats and dashboard.
"What the hell are you doing in there; get out before you kill us all!" Kyo yelled smacking him on the head.
"Wahhhhhh! Kyo hit me!" Momiji cried.
"Aww, you're so cute." A flight attendant came up behind Kyo. "Tell ya what, you can come back when were in the air, but now we need to take our seats, okay?"
Momiji immediately perked up following the stewardess to his seat. Kyo found his own seat and steadily buckled his seat belt. Latching his hands to the hand rests he closed his eyes and concentrated on his breathing. Using the breaths he learned from training, Kyo calmed down until the plane started moving, letting out an unintentional mew as they left the ground.
"Nothing bad is going to happen Kyo, you can calm down." Kyo shot a glare at Hatsuharu before attempting to relax again. After a few failed attempts, he opened his eyes and looked around the cabin.
Haru was listening to music, calm and relaxed in his white state. Kisa was sitting behind Haru laughing softly with Hiro. Ayame was sitting right in front of him chatting it off with Yuki, who was rubbing his temples. Rin and Kagura were playing cards across the aisle from them. Kazuma sat behind them next to Momiji's empty seat. Ahead of them Shigure was chatting up a pretty blonde flight attendant, and Hatori was concentrating on his laptop. Akito and Kureno were sitting in silence ahead of them.
"Kyo, come see this!" Momiji came bounding down the aisle from the cockpit. "The pilot is going to let me push the buttons!" Kyo's grip tightened on the rests as he slowly shook his head. Momiji shrugged and bounded back the way he came.
"Yuki," Ayame's voice raised "What's the matter. Something wrong?" Yuki jerked straight up from his seat and walked away from his brother; Ayame followed. "Yuki, come back!" he whined. Picking up his pace Yuki slid into the rear restroom and latched the door, leaving Aya talking to the door. Shigure got up next and followed the blonde to the flight attendant to the restroom across the aisle from Yuki, winking at Aya on the way. Rin dropped the playing cards in her seat and headed toward the front of the plane. Hiro became bored and started to kick the back of Kyo's seat.
"This is your pilot's helper speaking, we will be experiencing some mild turbulence, please return to you seats. Thank you!" Kyo shuttered as Momiji's voice came over the loudspeaker, gripping the armrests hard enough his knuckles turned white. Haru reached out and put a hand on Kyo's forearm. His cousin's muscles were clenched so tight, there was a slight tremble.
"Do you want me to get Sensei?" Haru asked, gesturing back to Kazuma, Kyo's adoptive father. Kyo just glared.
"I'm fine" He gritted through his teeth, with an attempting to loosen his grip. Haru shrugged and went back to his music. Twenty minutes later Shigure came out of the restroom with a satisfied grin plastered across his face. He strutted past his seat and over to Haru and Kyo.
"How are you feeling Kyo?" You look a little stressed." Shigure asked.
"He's scared." Haru confessed for him.
"I am not! And I don't need your help you stupid idiot!" Kyo snapped, unable to release the armrest. Shigure chuckled as he strutted right back to his seat.
After many terrifying hours, few of them filled with restless sleep, and many drinks their plane touched down. The Sohmas filed off and onto solid ground, much to Kyo's relief. Kyo was the first off of the field and into the building, nearly running into a little old lady standing next to a man holding a sign that read "SOHMA".
"Are you all the Sohma family?" she asked. "Welcome to Flordia."
