The Trip Part 4
-------------------------
Aboard the plane…
When the four of them went aboard the plane a cabin attendant immediately helped them to find their seats.
'You can sit with me…' Sakuno found herself remembering what Echizen told her in the airport.
Echizen was ahead of her and took a sit next to the passage way. Oishi didn't sit next to Echizen, but just went past him and took a sit a few sits behind Echizen. Even though a part of Sakuno wanted to sit next to Echizen, another part of her warned that she would be super nervous and make a total fool of herself during the flight if she sat next to him, so she decided not to. When she passed by Ryoma a hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back. She turned around and saw Echizen staring straight at her eyes.
"Echizen?"
"Ano…I promised you that we could sit together…" he said while standing up, so Sakuno could have the window sit.
Sakuno was speechless so she just nodded and took a sit next to Echizen.
"Ladies and gentlemen please be seated and put your seatbelts on. The plane will be taking off in a few seconds."
Echizen looked at Sakuno, she didn't look very happy about leaving the ground, she looked pale. Ryoma, trying to calm her, putted his arm on the arm chair between the two of them facing up.
Sakuno looked beside her and saw Echizen's arm on the chair's arm facing up. She looked at Ryoma and he nodded giving her a small smile. She slowly moved her hand towards him, when she touched his hands she started blushing really hard. As the plane started to gain speed her hands tightened to Echizen's.

"It's ok now." Ryoma told Sakuno when the plane was flying peacefully over the clear and bright sky. "You can open your eyes now." He continued.
Sakuno slowly opened her eyes and looked at Echizen "Thank you" she said with a smile.
"Look outside."
Sakuno turned to the other direction and saw that the plane was flying over the clouds.
"Kireiii!!!" Sakuno exclaimed still looking at the fluffy and white clouds.
Echizen smiled.
After a few minutes Sakuno turned to Ryoma and started to blush really hard…
'I'm so stupid! I'm still holding his hand!' thought Sakuno.
She slowly pulled her hands towards her until they were sitting on her laps.
"A few minutes from now a cabin attendant will be passing with our lunch." Echizen informed Sakuno.
"Hai…Is airplane food oishii?"
"Depends…"
"I hope it will be good…" said Sakuno with a cute smile.
"What would you like, fish or meat?" the cabin attendant asked Ryoma and Sakuno.
"I would like a fish one" Sakuno answered excited.
"Fish…" Ryoma replied sounding bored.
The cabin attendant carefully putted the two trays in front of them and left. Sakuno took a spoon of her food and said, "Oishiii!!!"
Ryoma smiled and said "Glad you liked it"
Sakuno and Ryoma ate their lunch quietly until after a few minutes after they finished a different cabin attendant took their trays back. Sakuno got out her Iphone and started listening to her favorite playlist.
Ryoma having nothing to do took one of her earphones and started listening to her songs. Sakuno was kind of surprised, but still let Echizen listen to her songs with her. 'Echizen is so different from his usual self.'thought Sakuno.
'Listening music with Ryuzaki is actually relaxing, I should listen to music before playing tennis…' thought Echizen.
Sakuno went to her Iphone's main page and clicked on the "Tap Tap" application.
"Wanna play?" She asked Ryoma who turned to look at the game. They played the game for a while before playing another one and then another.
---
Sakuno had a lot of fun with Echizen. They decided to stop for a bit so they could take a nap before the plane landed in Okinawa.
45 minutes later…
"Are you awake?" a voice asked Sakuno.
Sakuno slowly opened half of her eyes.
"Um…" replied Sakuno still half asleep.
"We are landing in five minutes"
Sakuno jumped immediately fully awake.
"What?" she asked unsure if she had heard Echizen right.
"We are landing in five minutes" Ryoma repeated more slowly this time.
Sakuno nervously bit her lip.
Ryoma looked at her, he felt sad for her because this was her first time on a plane and she got nervous about the plane landing.
"It's alright Ryuzaki" he said while gently taking her hand. As the plane started to go down Sakuno's hand started to squish Ryoma's.
---
"Ladies and gentlemen we've just arrived at the Okinawa airport. Please take all your belongings and we hope that you enjoyed this flight."
"Let's go." Ryoma said getting up and then getting their suitcases from the top of their seats. He handed Ryuzaki her bag and warned her "Stay close because it's easy to get lost since it's so crowded."
"hai."
Sakuno tried to stay as close to Echizen as possible but it was hard since there were a lot of pushing and pulling. A man going to the opposite direction of Echizen and Sakuno, pushed Sakuno so hard that she fell on the floor.
"Watch it!" the old man yelled.
"Gomennsai" Sakuno apologized looking at the floor, tears started to roll down her delicate face.
"You watch it" A firm voice behind her said.
The old man was stunned that he just walked away mad. Echizen helped Sakuno get up.
"Let's go meet the others."
"Hai" Sakuno said while standing and following Echizen. She was glad that he was there.
