The Crystal Armor: Part II
Cye laid back in the uncomfortable waiting chair with Kento stuffing his face with some of the food he brought from home. They were at the airport to pick up the Irish student. Everyone else was busy with activities. Mia was watching Ryo playing at his soccer game, Sage was at his job at a dojo and Rowen was taking a nap. Cye and Kento volunteered to pick the girl up. "Cye, when's her flight supposed to come? I'm getting hungry" Kento complained, throwing away the empty bag that had the food he brought. "Kento, for the eighth time," Cye sighed, "she'll be here at noon. It's only 11:55, so just wait a little longer." He looked out the window at the planes coming and going, trying to get Kento to be quiet. Five minutes later, a voice comes over the intercom. "Flight 153 from Ireland, now arriving. Flight 153 from Ireland, now arriving." "Alright, Kento" said Cye as he stood up, "that's the one so let's go find her. She should be wearing a shamrock." "I hope she's pretty," Kento muttered, smiling as he picked up a small sign he made to welcome her. "You're starting to sound like Sage," Cye shook his head and looked at the crowd exiting the plane, "just keep your eyes open."
Lori picked up her backpack and started exiting the plane. She had strawberry-blonde hair down to her shoulders and crystal clear blue eyes. She adjusted the shamrock pin on her yellow blouse and pulled down at her jean skirt. She didn't know much about her host except that she was kind enough to take her in. She put one of her hands in her pockets, clutching a small item in her pocket. As she entered the airport waiting room, she looked around and waited for someone to come get her. She suddenly spotted a sign up in the air behind a young man with auburn hair and sea-green eyes, saying "Welcome, Laurie Flinn". She gave a small giggle and walked towards him and his large friend holding the sign. "Um.hi," she said, gaining their attention, with her Irish accent, "Are you friends of Mia Yagyu?" "Hi!" said Kento, "Yeah, we came to take you to her house since she's busy at the moment. I'm Kento Rei Faun and my speechless friend is Cye Mouri." Kento noticed Cye wasn't doing anything to introduce himself, only blushing. So Kento nudged him extremely hard in the ribs. "Wha.oh!" Cye said blushing a bit more, "Yeah. Hi." Cye then noticed the sign Kento was holding. "Please tell me she didn't see that." "Hey! Are you saying that my idea is stupid?" Kento questioned Cye. "Well, you did kind of spell my name wrong." said Lori, shrugging as she smiled at Kento, "but it's the thought that counts." "Come on," said Kento, enthusiastically walking toward the baggage claim. She smiled and walked alongside Cye. "Is your friend always this active?" she asked him. "Sometimes, but only when he knows he's going to be able to eat soon" Cye said shaking his head, glancing occasionally at her. She was about as tall as him only three inches shorter. He was really trying to not look down at her chest but to keep his eyes on Kento, who was looking through the luggage claim. "Oh, don't bother," she said as she picked up a lean case and put it over her shoulder, "you don't need to get my things. You might accidentally break the item I have in here." She smiled and was about to pick up her other suitcases when Kento grabbed them anyway. "Sorry," Kento said, winking his eye at her, "that would make us look like unkind hosts." As they started walking out to the jeep, Lori kept her hand closed on the item in her pocket and keeping a smile on her face, even with the trouble she knew might be coming. She felt a chill run down her spine and she turned around quickly. Kento and Cye looked at her curiously. "You ok, Lori?" Cye asked. "You look like something's wrong." "No." she said, shaking her head and holding it with her hand, "it's nothing. I just thought. never mind. Could you guys just take me to Mia's house?" They nodded and opened the door for her. As Kento started the car, she took one last look out the window, knowing something was out there.
"So. you can sense me, can you?" said a raspy voice, coming from a dark figure staring down at the jeep as it drove away, on top of the airport. "This is interesting, for neither of those ronins sensed me. Well, this will make it a bit harder for me to kill you, my little prey." He sneered and slowly disappeared from his spot, returning to his dark lair.
