Chapter 3

(1st POV-Serena)

My plane arrived at the airport at 7 o'clock pm eastern time. By my watch (which was still set to Japan time), it was 2 am, so I guess that it was a given that I was dog tired. I got off the plane in a hurray and got my luggage. In my haste to leave the crowded airport, I ran into someone and knocked us both down.

"Ne, sumima- eh, I'm sorry." I said, quickly recovering from my mistake of speaking japanese. The person I ran into, a guy about a year or two older than me (and really hot), grabbed my hand and hoisted me up, steadying me by holding my hips. I blushed heavily and thanked him.

"Ah, no problem, chere. Remy always glad to help a fille in need." The guy (Remy, I guess) said, taking my hand and kissing the back of it. Before I could do or say anything, he was roughly pulled away by a large man with dark hair. I knew who it was instantly.

"Tousan." I whispered to myself as he yelled at Remy. I felt kinda bad for the guy, so I tried to break them up.

"Eh, gomen nasai." The man ignored me as he shook Remy by the collar. "Ne! Baba!!" I exclaimed. That shut him up for sure. He slowly turned to look at me and upon seeing my face, he dropped Remy and uttered one word before collapsing.

"Emmy.?"

Apparently, my tousan had gone to the airport with a group of mutants (including Remy) to find me. Remy explained this as he and I rushed tousan out of the airport. Remy carried my luggage because it was so heavy (he acted like it weighed next to nothing) and still helped me carry my unconscious father out side to where their friends awaited us.

When they saw the two of us carrying my father, they made a mad dash to help us board him on their jet. When we were all loaded and had taken off, the group (mostly teenagers) stared at me like I was a freak.

"Nani?" I asked, backing away from them as much as I could. Nobody made an effort to answer my question.

"Henji ware, onigaishimasu!" I exclaimed, pressing my back against the inner wall of the jet. Tears started to trickle down my face and the group looked at each other, startled.

"Non, chere. No need to cry. We jes don know wha' to say, s'all." Remy tried to explain as he inched closer to me. My heart fluttered when he looked in my eyes, but after Mamoru, I didn't trust my feelings as well as I used to, so I tried to back up some more. My hand pressed a button and the wall behind me started to move. The next thing I knew I was falling out of the aircraft and down to my doom.

A/N: yes, this is an AU story. Remy is part of the X-Men, and there is nothing going on between him and Rogue. I know this is very unlike me, but get over it. Oh, and FYI, 'Henji ware, onigaishimasu' means answer me please. R&R or I won't write anymore!!
