Aneki: Stands there smiling
BleedingOpal: What's up with Aneki?
fullofmetal: shrugs
Aneki: Anyone want a hug?!
fullofmetal and BleedingOpal stare…
Midoriko brushed the pink streak of hair among her blonde curls away from her green eyes. She tucked the rest of her hair back as best she could, but since it barely went past her ears, it was difficult to do.
Kyoko's yellow eyes kept whipping back and forth nervously. She was anxious over this trip, especially because of Urahara's ominous giggling.
The airport was cramped with people bustling around to get to their flights and a few people napping in their seats, snoring loudly. Kitsune, Toshiro, Kyoko, Midoriko, Matsumoto, Zaraki, Yachiru, Byakuya, Soi Fong, Renji, Rukia, Ichigo, and Urahara waited anxiously for the boarding call to Paris, where they would spend a night before connecting to a straight flight to Reno. From there they would take a train to Las Vegas.
The boarding call finally came for parents with their children. Matsumoto attempted to convince Toshiro and Kitsune to go on now, but they became extremely furious and threw a very large fit. Yachiru happily dragged Zaraki to the gate.
Everyone eventually seated next to the people they'd be with for the next ten hours. Kitsune was seated next to Toshiro, Soi Fong was next to Midoriko, Byakuya and Renji sat together, Rukia and Ichigo were next to each other, Zaraki was seated next to Yachiru, Kyoko was reluctantly placed next to Urahara, and Matsumoto was stuck next to a random passenger.
Byakuya and Renji were having a very deep discussion about bananas.
Rukia and Ichigo were bickering, as usual.
Yachiru was squealing something about lollipops to Zaraki.
The random guy was trying to cop a feel on Matsumoto.
The more interesting discussions happened with the remaining six Shinigami.
Midoriko was trying, unsuccessfully, to make conversation with Soi Fong.
"Do you have a love interest?" she tried to ask.
Soi Fong didn't reply.
"Do you know any hot guys?"
"…"
"How's life been?"
"…"
"How's Yoruichi?"
"O-M-G! Yesterday she was grooming herself and I took pictures! Then I found her at the hot springs and…"
"Please stop…" whimpered Midoriko, burying her face in her hands as Soi Fong continued rambling.
Kitsune was scribbling in her diary, while Toshiro pretended not to notice. In reality, he was waiting for a chance to read it. Eventually she shut it, and he eyed it with curiosity. Then Kyoko popped her head over the seat and started a conversation with Kitsune. Toshiro immediately grabbed the diary while Kitsune was distracted. Kyoko saw this, and resolved to keep the tiny red-head distracted until he finished it. She held true to this, and when Toshiro set the diary back in its original spot in her carry-on, Kyoko suddenly lost interest in the conversation, cutting off in the middle of a sentence and turning around. Kitsune was automatically suspicious of Toshiro as well as Kyoko's horrible acting, but kept her mouth shut for now.
After Kyoko turned around she tried desperately to ignore Urahara teasing her over her debt, her messy blue hair, her debt, her laziness, her debt, her height, and her debt. Kyoko snatched his hat off his head and threw it as far away as possible.
The plane landed in Paris after an excruciatingly exhausting, annoying, and awkward ten hours. They piled into the stretch limo Kitsune had arranged for them. After the long drive they arrived at the hotel, which had a view of the Eiffel Tower. There was one room for the girls and another for the boys.
After unpacking what they needed for the night Kyoko, Kitsune, and Midoriko took a nighttime stroll around the city of lights. Midoriko dragged Renji with her, and Kitsune forced Toshiro to come with her as well. Urahara decided to follow Kyoko, much to her resignation.
"Abarai-kun! Look, crepes!" Midoriko cried joyfully as she skipped away down the street.
"Get back here, Mi-chan!" Renji yelled, running after her.
'Yes, run after her Renji.' Renji's conscience told him. 'You can be alone with her if you go.'
Kitsune rolled her eyes, and Kyoko sighed.
The next plane ride would last twelve hours, and unfortunately, everyone got different seats than the last flight. Midoriko was very happy she was no longer next to Soi Fong.
Soi Fong was sitting next to a random passenger, who kept trying to hit on her, unsuccessfully.
"So what's your name?" He asked.
"…"
"You look pretty hot in that outfit."
"…"
"Uh…do you like cats?"
"O-M-G! I love cats! There's this one cat I really, really love! Her name's Yoruichi, but she's only, like, half cat because…"
The man just stared at her.
Renji was placed next to the unhappy Kitsune, who was still furious over a mishap at a Halloween party last year.
OMG! Flashback!
Toshiro and Renji, who was dressed as a banana, stood by Urahara, who was dressed as a ghost. His costume was made of Renji's bed sheet with two holes cut into it. His hat was on top of his head, over the sheet.
"What are you dressed as?" Renji asked Toshiro.
"Myself." He answered grumpily. The only reason he was here is because Kitsune and Matsumoto dragged him here.
"Why are you a banana, freeloader?" Urahara asked cheerfully.
'Bananas are suggestive.' Renji's conscience told him.
"Bananas are awesome, that's why." Renji said.
Toshiro glared at everything he saw, and reluctantly asked, "Can you please explain the banana?"
"Ask Kitsune." Renji replied.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Toshiro shouted, his temper flaring.
"Exactly what I said. Ask Kitsune and the banana will be explained."
Toshiro tackled Renji to the ground, his sword drawn.
OMG! End Flashback!
Renji was lying through his teeth at that time. After Toshiro was done pummeling him, Kitsune proceeded to pummel him further. Renji shuddered at the memory.
Toshiro, arms crossed with a grumpy expression, was seated next to Kyoko, who was planning various ways to steal Urahara's hat.
"Say, Toshiro." Kyoko called for the young man's attention.
"What?"
"I wonder what Renji's saying to Kitsune."
Kyoko got punched in the face.
Midoriko was bugging the hell out of Urahara, or at least trying to.
"What do you see in your perfect guy, Kisuke?" she asked innocently.
Insane laughter came from Kyoko's seat.
"What?!" Urahara demanded sharply, completely taken off guard.
"I like guys with cute asses and hot…stuff." Midoriko got a very perverted grin on her face as her mind wandered.
Urahara trembled in his seat.
Matsumoto had passed out, having drunk multiple bottles of wine before getting on the plane. Her head was on Byakuya's shoulder, while Byakuya tried very hard not to kill her.
Zaraki was trying to persuade Ichigo to fight him.
"Arm wrestling?" Zaraki suggested.
"No." Ichigo replied.
"Bloody knuckles?"
"Hell no!"
"Thumb war?"
"NO!"
Rukia and Yachiru were having a deep conversation over the wonderfulness that is Chappy.
It was going to be a long flight.
fullofmetal: Renji's conscience is one of the best things to ever emerge from Aneki-chan's mind. Along with the fat doughnut guy and the intercom kids.
Aneki: Thank you. Bows
BleedingOpal: Let's not forget "Stay away from my mom you pervert!"
fullofmetal: You have no clue what we're talking about, do you?
Aneki: Don't worry, you will…you will. Voice fades into a creepy tone
