Animefan: Thanks for your review! Thanks for staying faithful !

The next few days kept Kyo and Alice very busy, the wedding preparations were becoming so particular. Alice kept trying to find the right church for the wedding, trying to keep the branches and both of the families happy. Kyo was taking care of what food, keeping in mind not to bring any animals. This process seemed to be taking forever, and they really wished they could make it end faster. Alice arrived back home at early afternoon; Kyo had already come back. She felt herself sit on a comfy chair with a sigh, she felt as if her feet were made of jelly. "Kyo, how are things on your end?"

"Well, things don't seem to be progressing well. I have a plan though Alice." He settled in a chair beside her, his hand touched her own. Her smile made her face radiate even more.

"What is the plan?"

"I'm planning on letting the other guides take care of it."

"Like who?"

"You know, Billy and the others."

"Good idea, but why is that your idea?"

"They will know what the branches want."

"Good idea, do you know where Yuki went?" Just as she had asked it, Yuki's face showed. His smile was a medication for them both, when they had first came here after defeating the darva; Yuki had let them rest peacefully. He was the servant that had once known master Lotsuan's troubles. He always let them rest, and took charge when absolutely needed. Rinoa always let them have fun, hiding the fact they were ditching their duties at times.

"You two need some rest upstairs?"

"No, we'd rather stay down here…"

"I'll make sure to keep everyone from entering. What excuse should I try to persuade with?" He looked at Kyo, who had begun talking as he entered the room.

"How about we use the wedding planning as an excuse? I mean, maybe we should do more personal ones."

"Very good Master Kyo, I believe it's quite ingenious." He smiled as he laughed; he had never been able to do this with his old employers. He would specially do things without them knowing because of this. He simply shut the shades, making the room have a little less light to keep the two awake. He could hear more balanced breathing as he walked towards the kitchen again. "Rinoa, how is lunch coming?"

"Well, it's okay. I know it's going to take awhile, so it might become dinner."

"It's okay, they both needed some rest."

"What are you going to say for an excuse this time?"

"Personal wedding plans." Rinoa's outfit was usually just a knee length or below skirt, usually black. Her tops were usually a neutral color, and her glasses fit her eyes perfectly. He was working with her since his first job; they had become close friends since then. He himself was always dressed in khaki pants, and very casual ones as well. His shirts were often more dressy, but they were very casual looking along with the ties.

Meanwhile…

"Stewart, how long to the airport?"

"A few more hours Master Chris." Chris sat on the leather chair drowsily; he had been surprised by Kyo's request. He gladly took it was well; he needed to get away from his branch for a while. He sighed as he looked out the window again, hoping that the airport would be in sight as he was being bored.

Meanwhile…

Billy and Marina made their way to a rented car; they were heading to the airport quickly. "I'm surprised they got together so quickly honey."

"Not really, they've always had feelings for each other. I know the pain they must be going through, it's not being a neo master."

"Well, we better hurry to the airport." Her voice shut off abruptly as they began to make their way, putting the keys in the car ignition. They bags were in the back loosely as they began to drive off.

Meanwhile…

Frey was being escorted to the airport; he didn't want to drive. Besides, he could ride a bike just as easy. He hoped to be able to keep up the pace to the airport; he was dead tired as he sat in the car. The airport would take another half and hour, so he rested for the ride.

Meanwhile…

Pai Mei Lin was in a car to the airport, she packed her bags immediately after Kyo's call. She didn't have anything either, it would help her to have a vacation from fans of her latest movie. She hated the press lately, she even had to update security better so no photographers sneaked in her condo. "I hope this wedding will go well, I can help them as much as possible. I truly hope to help them with this." She looked out the window; imagining how much pressure Alice and Kyo must be under.

Meanwhile…

Alice woke silently, her body feeling much less able to complain to her. Kyo began waking as well. Just as they sat up, Yuki appeared before them. "Did you get enough rest Master Kyo? Mistress Alice?"

"Yes, how many people came?" Alice took charge this time, glad to have rested so peacefully.

"About three or four, but I worked my magic appropriately. Dinner is ready." He pointed to the table in the dining room, and relief was on their faces.

"Thanks Yuki, we really needed it."

"No, thank you Mistress Alice." He nodded as they sat down; they ate silently. The conversation was mostly about the wedding, and about what they would do when the tutoring was over.

Meanwhile…

Chris walked into the airport terminal, giving his ticket as he entered. Stewart was coming along, as usual. The ride would take a few hours; so relaxing was a good thing. He lies back, letting sleep take over his body.

Meanwhile…

Billy and Marina arrived at the airport by the time of sunset, they made quick pace as they came in the plane. Marina smiled as they rested silently; it was going to be a long ride.

Meanwhile…

Pai Mei Lin finally made it to the airport, she ran into the terminal. She was about to miss the flight time if she hadn't ordered the taking of a shortcut. She sat down, and rested her body for the flight.

Read and review! I'm updating Furuba next.
