Hey, I'm back! Yep I'm finally back with action and here is chapter 2. Okay, so I didn't get as much as reviews as I thought I would, but hey I have two wonderful people who've had time to review. All of you who didn't- shame on you! Nah, just joking. Anyway, I know it's about time that I get this puppy on its way, but you can't blame an author who's going crazy in her own home. I have 3 sites to maintain 1 by the way is Alley Cat and mine, not to mention that I have 10 stories to write. I am such a sucker when it's starting new stories and never finishing them. But be gracious that I am not thinking of shutting down any of my stories, especially "True Love" which is a weird story that is a big hit. Shrugs oh well. Anyway. Thanks and enjoy this story.

Chapter 2

"Boy, was that too close for comfort," Kristina said as she put her bags down on the conveyor belt of the airline services. Jamie rolled her eyes as she and Brandi did the same.

"It's you're fault you had to open your big mouth, you idiot!" Jamie said with a bit of a temper.

"Aw, did I embarrass miss princess. Aw, poor baby. Should I get your bottle?" Kristina acted as though she was talking to a baby, which made Jamie's eye twitch. "Uh oh." Kristina ducked when Jamie almost sucker punched her. "Wow, what an amazing punch. My grandmother can punch better than you."

"Tsk," Jamie smiled, "I'm sure meemaw could do that. But I bet she could punch better than you."

Kristina shrugged. "Aw well, I don't really care. I just can't wait to get to Japan to see Kitty again."

"Yeah, I can't wait to tell Kitty how you almost got gorged by the mayor." Jamie laughed as Kristina punched her on her arm. Jamie glared at her but didn't say anything as she rubbed her sore arm.

"It wasn't her fault, Jamie." Brandi tried to keep in her laugh. Jamie looked horrified.

"So, you take up for this mongrel!" Jamie smirked a bit at Kristina's shocked.

"Hey, just because I love dogs doesn't mean that I am a mongrel, you pussycat!"

"Hey, cats are much better and loving than dogs."

"Oh no they're not! They're absolutely useless and I hate them little things. They claw you and bite you and they jump on you when you're sleeping." Kristina shuddered at the thought.

Jamie started laughing, "That's only because you had your foot out at Grammy's house."

"I hate that cat! And it wasn't my fault if you took all of the covers and room for that matter, miss high and mighty."

"I told you that you could go sleep with Grammy, but you refused."

"Well, she does the same thing to me."

Brandi shook her head at the bickering and was fixing to say something when the announcer came on.

"All passengers boarding Flight 405 to London, please aboard now. Repeat, all passengers boarding Flight 405 to London, please aboard now."

Kristina and Jamie were still bickering when Brandi took her two fingers and put them in her mouth, whistling for the attention of her two friends. Kristina and Jamie looked at Brandi and then nodded as they heard the speaker say what he just repeated.

"London here we come!"

"Oh boy, or do you mean, London, watch out, klutzy Kristina here she comes."

"That was not funny."

"To me it was." Brandi snickered. Kristina played hurt.

"So you'd take her side?"

"Well, you are a klutz." Jamie pointed out again as she gave the flight attendant her ticket. Kristina made a face of wanting to kill Jamie but held it back when she handed the flight attendant her ticket, Brandi following in her example. When they boarded the flight, they finally got settled in. It was middle class seats, which was really okay for the girls. Just as long as they didn't have to sit in third class where it was cramped even worse. Most planes weren't like that, but they were on a charter flight to London, England. It would be another four hours or so before they would be able to board the second flight to China, then finally to their destination.

Sage, Cye and Kento looked at her confused, then they relaxed and smiled.

"Oh, hey Katherine, what brings you here?" Kento asked curiously, obvious to the reason she was here.

Katherine giggled before she spoke.

"I'm here to get uniforms for this year. What about you, the same?" Katherine giggled some more before they answered with a nod.

"Yeah, we're here for the same." Sage laughed with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Who's she?" Mia asked politely.

Sage and Kento apologized and then introduced Mia to Katherine.

"Katherine, this is Mia Koji, the one we're staying with, and Mia, this is Katherine Lopez, an exchange student from Texas that arrived a year ago. She's staying with Katsuo, Naomi, ya know, the one you graduated with four years ago."

Mia's face beamed with remembrance and nodded, "Oh yeah, I remember her saying something a year ago about hosting for an exchange program. Wow, you must be very smart to come over here."

Katherine blushed, "Oh, shucks. I'm not smart. I just got a government grant to come here." She laughed.

"Oh." Mia said with a smile, "Heh, oh come on, you're probably smart at some things."

Katherine smiled. "Welll, I do love to write."

Mia looked intrigued. "Oh really, ya do? Wow. What do you like to write?"

"I mostly like to write for anime. Ya know, the ones that they make over here."

"Ah, yes, I know some people over the Internet that has written a few fanfics. They are really great and creative writers."

"Really, some of my friends are from the e-net as well and they're on their way here now, I believe. I hope they got my letter in. It's been at least three days since I've sent them a telegram."

"Ah, I think they might have gotten it, Katherine." Kento said smirking.

"You think?"

"Yeah," Kento reassured. Katherine smiled.

"Oh, by the way, I've already told you, Kento, call me Kitty. It's easier and a whole lot nicer than trying to pronounce Katherine."

Sage smiled but said nothing. Katherine wondered what that look was in his eye but she didn't question it as Ryo came around.

"Oh hello Katherine." Ryo smiled towards Katherine. She smiled some and greeted him.

"Hiya, Ryo."

"Shopping for clothes, too?" Ryo asked curiously, looking at the bag she had in her hand.

"Yeah, I was shopping for school mostly. Ugh, I hate school."

Kento agreed, "Yeah, no kiddin. I hate it too. I so look forward to graduating next year."

"That's if ya pass." Cye snickered.

"Did I ask for your opinion, stupid!" Kento grumbled towards Cye, who was saying nothing through the whole conversation.

Mia sighed. "Guys, please don't start your bickering again. I've got a headache and I don't want to hear your babyish bickering."

Cye and Kento gulped and then shut it after she said that.

Katherine stifled a giggle and then looked at her watch. As she looked at her watch, something stung on her backside. "Ow! Jeez, what the hell?" She looked into her back pocket and saw that her cell-phone was buzzing. "Oh, ok. Heh, it's my cell-phone. Hold up for a sec while I take this call." Katherine smiled as the others nodded and she took the call, walking away for a min.

"Hola? Katherine speaking. Who's this?"

"Hola, mi amiga." A familiar voice rang from the other side of the speaker.

Katherine's smile widened as she recognized the voice. "Ah, Amiga. Kristina, is this you?"

"Yeppers, this is she. I jus want to say that we got your letter and all of us are on our way to Japan at this moment. We'll be arriving in London in two more hours, then we board a plane to go to China, then another smaller plane and arrive at Tokyo National Airport by tomorrow evening."

Katherine got excited. "OH really! That's great. I shall meet you there. Do you have a place to stay?"

"Yeah, um, Jamie can you hand me the paper." Katherine heard rustling around with paper then Kristina say thanks to Jamie, "Ok, well we have a hotel we're going to be staying in and then we have an apartment facility that is going to be paid for by the USA Government department that's down here and its' getting prepared. SO we'll be staying at the hotel until further notice."

"I can ask Naomi if she's willing to have three more guests over."

"No, no. That's quite ok. We'll survive. Besides, we don't want to be a burden."

"How are you guys a burden when you're my friends. Now don't argue and let me call my friend Naomi."

Katherine heard Kristina sigh in exasperation, "Ok, ok, you go ahead and do that. No use in arguing to someone who's not going to listen to reason."

"That's right, I'm not one to reason when it comes to making sure you have a place to stay for now until that apartment is ready."

"Of course, you'll be staying in the apartment with us as well." Jamie's voice came on the other end.

"Hey, Jamie, give me the phone. I was talking with her!"

Katherine heard Kristina say in the back. Katherine stifled a laugh as she thought how good it would be to get her friends over in Japan with her.

"So what, you can talk with her later. I want to talk with her now."

On the other end, arguing could be heard, then Brandi took the phone and sighed. "Sorry, but those two won't stop bickering. They've been bickering since they got on this plane about things that aren't even important."

"Ah, don't worry. I'm sure they'll quit." Katherine laughed, knowing that wouldn't be possible. "They're best friends since kindergarten and they are going to bicker like sisters."

Brandi laughed. "Well, we have to go, it's time for dinner. Yummy, its pizza."

Katherine laughed as well. "Well, you enjoy yourself and knock out those two bickering friends if they get on your nerves."

Brandi giggled, "Yeah, that's a very tempting thought. I think I'll do it if they do. Adios chica."

"Adios, mi amiga." The pressing of a button cut off the phone call and she went back to talking with Mia and the guys, settling on calling her friend later after she ends her conversation with Ryo and the guys and Mia...
