February 6th. 8:30 am.
Saki Lamperouge, now at 10-years of age, kept those words in her head as she walked out of Kirigakure Elementary School, now walking home. The date was exciting to her parents. The Lamperouges were going to the US for a one-week vacation in two days. Lelouch was relieved, due to the fact that he didn't have to go through a dozen pile of paperwork.
Mizuiro, now 4-years old, was excited as heck. It was his first time getting out of the country. For Saki, this was her second time. When she was 5, she, Shirley, and Lelouch and Suzaku's cousin's, Kaguya, went to China to visit Kaguya's friend, Tianzi. She enjoyed looking at the glowing lanterns at night while the family was walking down the bright market place.
Saki sighed as she reached the front porch of her home. She needed a large glass of pink lemonade, which is her favorite drink.
"Tadaima..." Saki said solenmly as she placed her backpack on the staircase. She heard footsteps from her father's office. Thinking it was her father, Saki grabbed her DS from her room, ran back downstairs and plopped down on her favorite place on the long couch that faced the TV. She stared at DS screen, which was loading up the DS game; Sonic Colors.
As Saki fiddled with the DS buttons, Lelouch walked out of his office, holding several books in his arms. When he saw Saki, he placed the stack of books on the kitchen counter, went over to Saki, sat down next to her and patted her head.
"Okarinasai." He said sweetly as Saki looked up from the DS screen, looking glum. "You feeling alright?"
"I think... Going to a different country for 1 week... It's hard for me. I'll miss everyone. Like Uncle*cough, Suzaku* and Auntie*cough, OC person* and everyone else..." Saki said, not finishing her explanation. Lelouch sighed, amused.
"It's normal to feel that way, Saki. I felt that way when I moved from the homeland to Japan." Lelouch said, cheering up his quiet daughter.
"Hmm... Alright. I understand. Thank you, Father." Saki thanked as she smiled a shy smile at her father.
Lelouch patted her head again. "Did you finish packing up for the airport? If you did, I'll take you to the bookstore."
Saki's face brightened. "Really?! Then I'll finish up packing!" The book-loving orangette ran up to her room, leaving her father and DS behind. Lelouch picked up the black DS and shut it down.
"Huh." Lelouch chuckled. "That girl and books."
After Saki and Lelouch finished their business at a nearby bookstore, the quiet pair walked through the harbor where they saw a lucky fishermen catch a rowdy decent-sized salmon. Saki gleamed in joy, this being her first time seeing an alive fish.
After their trip to the harbor, Lelouch took Saki to a hair accessory store where Lelouch bought his daughter a new silk green ribbon to tie her hair with. They made their way home after that.
"Mama, where's Saki-nee and Papa?" The youngest member of the Lamperouge family, Mizuiro, asked his mother, who was watering the plants near the front porch. Shirley gave Mizuiro a airhead-ish look.
"I don't know myself Mizui*nickname*. But Saki's with Papa, so they should be safe."
Muzuiro gave a shrug and ran off, chasing a stray cat near Shirley's flower garden. Shirley giggled and went back to watering the plants. When she was finished, Shirley took Mizuiro inside to give him a bath. While she was busy with that, Saki and Lelouch came home.
"Thank you for taking me to those places, Father." Saki said politely as Lelouch set their bought items near the staircase.
"No problem, Saki." Lelouch said as he took off his white jacket. "Now do some schoolwork before you start doing anything else, okay?"
Saki obeyed without hesitation. She brung her school bag to the kitchen counter and started doing her writing homework.
Suddenly, a blur of black ran quietly down the staircase and ran right into Lelouch.
"Gah!"
"Whoa!"
Lelouch caught the blur of black, which was Mizuiro, picked him up into the air and carefully placed him on his slender shoulders.
"You would have knock me down if I didn't grabbed you." Lelouch said playfully as Mizuiro's face brightened.
"S-Sorry Papa. Welcome back." Mizuiro said with glee as Lelouch spinned around, making the two-some dizzy. Saki laughed quietly as she sharpened her dull pencil with a pencil sharpener.
Mizuiro got off his father's back, walked to his older sister, and innocently pulled on her frilly red skirt. "Saki-nee, can you read that book to me? You almost finished it."
Saki, staring at her homework, ruffled her younger brother's fluffy dark hair. "Hmm... It depends if Father will let us stay up late." Then the siblings stared at their father, looking irritated.
"... Mizuiro, where's Mother?" Lelouch asked, hoping he changed the subject. Mizuiro answered his father without hesitation.
"Mother is finding some allergy medicene."
Lelouch walked over to a cabinet near the living room and grabbed a a small square-like blue bottle filled half-way with small pink pills.
"Mizuiro, can you give this to your mother? It's the allergy pills she's probably looking for." Lelouch asked. Mizuiro obediently took the pills from his hands and walked up the stairs, eventually finding his mother and handing the pills to her.
"..." Saki was unusually quiet. Lelouch got worried.
"Saki?" He walked up to the orange-haired girl, who had her head on her writing homework, sleeping.
"Huh. Already passed out."
Today was February 6th. The Lamperouges had made it to the airport at 8:30 am. Though he was very tired, Mizuiro was smiling as he held his mother's hand while they were looking out the window, watching people carry luggage into a part of the very long plane. While they were doing that, Saki and her father were in the airport's bookstore, skimming through magazines and thin books.
"An ocean..." Saki mumbled as she flipped a page in a magazine, showing an island in the middle of an blue ocean. Saki loved exploring new places. It reminded her of the magical wonderlands in some of her favorite books. "Father? Will there be an ocean nearby when we get to the states?"
"I'm sure of it." Lelouch quickly replied, his eyes focused on a book that he brung along. Nobody—except for Shirley— doesn't really knows what Lelouch reads half of the time. You can tell he really likes that book by how quiet he is.
Saki shrugged while she yawned and stretched out her slender arms. Lelouch checked the time on his phone. 8:45.
"Let's get going Saki. We don't want to get left behind." Lelouch said as he tapped Saki's shoulder, disturbing her reading. They left the bookstore and made it to the plane in time. On the plane, Lelouch told Saki to sit by her little brother while he sat by Shirley.
"Oh by the way Saki, here's something to record your trip with." Lelouch gave Saki a small box. "Open it when we're off the plane."
"Alright Father." Saki said quietly as she took a seat next to Mizuiro, who was staring out the window.
'I wished I had my DS right now,' Saki thought with boredom. 'But I would probably get in trouble if I played on it while the plane was taking off."
When the plane finally took off and was in the air, Saki rested her head on Mizuiro's shoulder and fell asleep.
Part 2 will be uploaded soon. And I know I didn't describe the airport and the plane that well. I never been in a plane before so, yep.
Look forward to Part 2! See ya later~
