Chapter 2

Kuja's A Man, but who's She?

As they land at the airport, Zidane gets up and checks everyone, who seemingly passed out from the flight. The only other person who was awake was Goken, and he was reading a book, "Well, I see everyone else wouldn't stay up," Zidane said as he turned around and looked at Goken.

"Well, no one has the will power as we do," Goken said, looking up from his book.

"True, but I wish that they will land soon…"

//All Passengers, this is the captain speaking, we are preparing to land at Hawaii's international airport in about 15 minutes, please buckle yourselves in and prepare to land. I hope you enjoyed your flight, and come back again.//

"Guys, wake up!" Zidane shouted, to wake everyone up, but you hear a few moans from everyone who was sleeping.

"Zidane, sit down!" Beatrix yelled crossly at him.

"Yeah, you just gave me a headache," Steiner moaned, rubbing his head.

"Sorry, but I had to tell everyone to strap their butts in and prepare for a landing within 10 minutes or so."

"Fine Zidane," Beatrix said, putting her seat up and putting on her seat belt.

-------------

They landed within a few minutes later, feeling the tires touch down on the runway. Zidane gets up, and walks toward the back of the plane. Dagger and the rest followed him on the way, as he then popped out of the terminal area, "Wow, what a trip," he says as he stretches, once everyone had gathered around.

"I know, and I am in pain," Sarah complained, rubbing her stomach a bit.

"Me too," Beatrix muttered, standing next to Steiner and putting her head on his shoulder.

"Such a long trip, and why does it take so long to get here?!" Dagger whined, putting her head on Zidane's shoulder and putting her arms around his waist.

"Because we are so far away from here," Goken said matter-of-factly.

Dagger rolled her eyes at Goken, "Sorry I asked."

Zidane chuckled and led the group through the terminals toward the entrance of the airport. He looks around and remember something, "Guys, wait her for a second!" he says, releasing Dagger and running back inside to the ticket counter, "Is there a rental car for Zidane Tribal here?" he asks.

The lady behind the desk typed some things into a computer screen and nodded, "Yes there is." She took out some keys and handed them to Zidane, "it is in parking spot A5, which is that one right there," the lady pointed to a red Chevrolet Astro van that was sitting in front of the others. Zidane thanked the lady and he walked back to the others, "Well, I found out what it was."

"What is it Zidane?" Steiner asked, looking at him.

"See that Astro van right in front of us?" he asked, pointing to the red van, "that's ours...well, for as long as we are here, that is."

Dagger takes Zidane's hand and they all go over to the van. It seemed new, like 2000 or something, because it had a remote alarm system with keyless entry. Zidane pushed the button and they all climbed in, and buckled up. Zidane put the key in the ignition and turned it, bring the engine to life. "Hmmm, it sees like a nice van," he said, as he pulled the shifter in Reverse and backed out.

"Comfortable to!" Goken said, sitting behind Dagger in one of the two captain's seats that were in the second row of seating.

They took off and headed down the road, hearing the wind wisp in the background, with the windows down. Zidane's dirty blonde hair gets in his eyes as the wind keeps howling by his face. He looked over to Dagger for a brief second, seeing that she was staring out the window in amazement. There was no commotion in the back except a few occasional kissing sounds.

About an hour later, Zidane killed the engine in front of a huge hotel, about 6 stories high, "Wow," Zidane said as he jumped out from the driver's seat.

They all walk inside, as Steiner checks in, since he called and got the rooms registered in his name. He came back over and handed Goken and Zidane a card key, "We are all side by side...but there is only one problem...where is Master Vivi going to sleep?"

Zidane looks at Vivi, "I guess he will sleep with us," he turns to Dagger, "is that ok with ya?"

Dagger shakes her head, "I have something planned for you Zidane..." she turns to Vivi, "I'm sorry..."

"It's ok," Vivi said, shrugging.

"Awww, he can sleep with us," Sarah said, looking at Goken, "Will he Goken?"

Goken nodded, "Yeah, he can stay with us."
Vivi looks up to Goken and Sarah and nods, "Thank you."

"No prob!"

They all grabbed the bags, except for Sarah and Beatrix. They all headed up the elevator and went to their rooms, which was on the 3rd floor. Zidane and Dagger stayed in 305, Beatrix and Steiner in 303, and Vivi, Goken, and Sarah in 301.

---------Vivi, Goken, and Sarah's Room----------

"So, how are we going to do this," Goken said, after they entered the room. The room was very declorative with two queen beds, a TV with VCR and game hookup in the back, a phone between the two beds, and a small desk toward the big window, with A/C underneath it. The desk had a phone as well with a hookup for a laptop. Goken flipped on the lights to the bathroom to reveal a very big bathroom with a stand-up shower, a full length mirror behind the door, a regular mirror over the sink, which was dueled, and a toilet. Goken led Sarah to one of the beds and sat down.

"I guess I will take which ever bed that you two don't use," Vivi said, sitting his bags by the TV stand.

Goken looks at Vivi, a bit confused, "I think we will take the one that Sarah is sitting on, so it will make it easier for her to make it to the bathroom," he says, as he sits by his wife.

Vivi shrugs and heads toward the bathroom and shuts the door behind him.

"Things have changed," Goken said, after Vivi had shut the bathroom door.

Sarah turns to him, "What do you mean by that?"

Goken chuckled, remembering Zidane's words before they left his house, "The comment that Zidane said. I dunno why I am thinking about it, but it is just that three pregnant women on a trip…who would have thought it," Goken puts his arms over his knees and Sarah slipped her arm around her husband's broad shoulders, "That is the way things go sometimes Goken. You think that you are not going to do one thing, and end up doing it anyways. Just think about it like this…" she turns Goken's face and looks into his brown eyes with her emerald ones, "things don't always go according to original plan, but you have to make changes. You are a very smart man, I know you can think of something fun for all of us to do."

Goken looked at his wife for a minute and nodded, "I have an idea," Goken said, standing up, and helping Sarah to her feet, "How about we go to dinner, just us three."

Sarah brightened up to the idea, "Yeah, Vivi might like it."

Goken goes over to the bathroom door and knocks on it softly. Vivi's voice bounces through the door into Goken's ears, "Yeah?"

"Hey Vivi, how about going to dinner with us?"

"…Sure."

"Ok, when you get finished, whatever you are doing in there, we will go." Goken said, walking over to the phone when Vivi said, "Ok." Goken pulls out a phone book and dials a number and talks into the phone. After the conversation was finished, he hung up the phone and nodded, "All set."

--Steiner and Beatrix's Room--

"Adelbert, what are you doing!" Beatrix said after they entered the room.

"I am sitting the bags down, what does it look like I am doing?" Steiner said, lugging in a huge armload of bags and sitting then on one of the two beds. The room was decorated much the same with the exception of a huge window over the A/C unit that had a view of the ocean. "Wow, this is amazing!" Steiner said, walking over to the window to open the curtains.

"I know," Beatrix said, coming up and standing beside him and puts her arm around his waist, and her head on his shoulder, looking out into the view. "I have an idea."

"What is it?" Steiner asked, looking down at his wife.

"How about we go to dinner, just the two of us?" She asked.

"I guess…but should we check with the others?"

"No, I think they all have other plans," Beatrix said, picking up the phone beside the beds and pressing in a few keys. After a brief conservation with the receptionist, she hung up the phone, "I got it set."

"Where are we going?" Steiner asked.

"To Elu Charlin, a restaurant that I heard was very good….but very expensive. But I think we can afford it."
"Yeah," Steiner said, unpacking all of their bags from the suitcases that lined the bed. After about five or so minutes, he lined up those same suitcases along the wall, "Ok, all done."

"Ready to go?"

"Yep!"

They both walk out of the room, hand in hand.

--Zidane and Dagger's Room--

"Zidane!" Dagger shrieked as they both entered the room. Dagger was in Zidane's arms though.

"What? I am just carrying you in!" He said, as the luggage was dragged behind him on a cart, with his tail.

"Can you put me down?!" Dagger asked.

"Why, you don't like to be carried anymore?!"

"It isn't that…I just don't want to hurt you, that's all."

"Dagger, I ain't going to get hurt….even though my tail is lugging our luggage…get it! I made a funny!" Zidane said, giggling at his joke.

"Still, put me down!" Dagger shrieked again.

"Fine, you want down!" He goes over the bed and throws her in it, and she lands with a thud, "There, you are down…..whoa!" The cart tipped over and it sent Zidane crashing into Dagger, head first.

"OW!" Dagger screamed, looking at Zidane, who was laying beside him, and looked like he was knocked out.

"That hurt…." Zidane muttered from under the covers, which was now over his head.

"You bet it did!" Dagger said, growling a bit at her husband.

"I'm sorry, love," Zidane said, sitting up and looking at her.

"Zidane!! You have a big blood spot on your head!" She takes a few napkins and puts it on his forehead, pressing it down to stop the blood. Zidane winced when the napkin touched his head.

"I'll be alright," Zidane said, holding the napkin with his left hand.

After a few minutes, they hear a knocking sound to one of the adjacent rooms, which did not belong to the group, "I wonder what they want?" Dagger asked.

"I dunno," Zidane said, getting up and walking to the door, and he unlocks it. Then he opens the handle, which stood a 5'6" man, with silver hair. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, and brown khaki pants. His feet was covered with black tennis shoes, "Kuja!"

"Ah Zidane, I wasn't expecting my brother in Maui."
"I wasn't expecting you--" Just then, a girl came out from behind the door, partially dressed. She had brown eyes, and long, dirty blonde hair. She looked about 19 and was very beautiful. She looked at the both of them.
