Chapter 29

"Come on Vash!" Kat yelled, "We're going to miss our flight!"

"Coming!" he yelled back coming into view.

Kat rolled her eyes. It would be really embracing if they missed their flight just because Vash had to have some doughnuts. They boarded the plane and found their seats. Saku and Kurama shared a seat next to the window (both were disguised as Pomeranians) Kat sat next to them and Vash sat next to her. He offered her a doughnut.

"No thanks," Kat said, "I still don't see how you're able to eat so many and not gain an ounce."

He didn't hear her comment since he was to busy stuffing his face.

Kat jumped in surprise when someone from behind her covered her eyes with their hands, "Guess who."

The voice sounded familiar and for a minute Kat thought it had been Inuyasha but then she remembered who it belonged to, "Sanosuke?!"

The person lifted their hands off her eyes and laughed, "You got it little missy." Kat turned around ignoring the questioning looks Vash was throwing at her, "Megumi?! You're here too?!"

They smiled, "Yes, we're on our way back to Japan."

"What were you doing way out here?" Kat asked.

"I had a patient with a strange case so I was sent over here to check it out. Sanosuke told me he wanted to 'protect me' but I know better than that. He hasn't changed a bit," Megumi said.

Kat laughed, "Something's never change. I guess Sano will always be a freeloader."

The two women laughed together while Sano fumed and Vash sat there bewildered. Saku stuck her head between the seats to see what was going on. It surprised Megumi and she laughed as she pet Saku's head, "Since when did you own such a cute dog?"

Kat tried to keep it humorous since she didn't want them to know that it was a touchy subject, "What dogs? These are oversized rats!"

Saku barked in annoyance and Kat had to hush her up.

"What about you Kat? What are you doing all the way out here?" Megumi asked.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure. You'd have to ask Tanya, she's the one who set me up," Kat explained.

"You're not traveling by yourself are you little missy?" Sano asked.

"Of course not! I'm traveling with Vash," Kat gestured to him.

Megumi grinned mischievously and fox ears appeared on her head, "And who is Vash? A new man in your life perhaps?"

Kat laughed, "You wish Megumi!"

Megumi laughed knowingly with her fox laugh (hohoho!).

Sanosuke was having a glaring contest with Vash, "Surely you don't like someone like this moron."

"He's just a friend you guys!" Kat said while trying to get Saku's head unstuck from between the seats.

"Sure he is," Sano and Megumi muttered.

"You're absolutely right!" Vash said and pulled Kat into a bone crushing hug.

Sano and Megumi sat there stunned. Kat managed to wriggle free. She climbed over him, grabbed his arm and dragged him to the bathroom, "You. Me. Talk. NOW!"

She just about threw him into the bathroom and locked the door behind her. Sano and Megumi along with the rest of the people on board waited expectantly for them to come out. After a few minutes Kat just about fell out of the bathroom when she unlocked the door.

Vash caught her and set her upright. Kat thanked him and then froze.

Everyone on board began to clap and cheer, "Welcome to the mile high club!"

Kat turned several shades of red and dashed back into the bathroom mortified. Vash shrugged and walked back to his seat. All the men on board congratulated Vash as he wandered back to his seat bewildered. Sano and Megumi were laughing so hard they were turning several shades of blue.

"What?" Vash asked.

^_^

"Would you hurry up?!" Kat yelled at Vash.

She was still angry and embraced from the plane experience. They had said goodbye to Sano and Megumi after they had gotten their luggage (which Kat was making Vash carry).

"Couldn't you carry at least one?" he asked from behind a mountain of suitcases.

"What do you think?" Kat asked Saku. The wolf growled and Kat laughed, "Nope, you're going to be nice and carry it."

He grumbled something before letting out a surprised yelp. An old man had dropped his cane and Vash had somehow managed to trip over it. Kat raced forward and caught one of the suitcases that was holding breakable stuff.

Vash landed face first on the floor with suitcases splayed about him. Kat heaved a sigh and picked up Vash then scolded him as he handed the cane back to the man who had dropped it. Vash gathered the suitcases and stacked them in a pile off to the side of the hallway. Saku jumped behind them and transformed into a German Shepard. Kat took out the leashes used to drag the bags and hooked some of them up to Saku. Kurama sat on top of one of the cases as Saku began to pull them down the hall.

Vash grabbed the few remaining suitcases and Kat picked up the breakable one she had saved. They managed to get out of the airport and back to the parking lot before they encountered another problem.

Kat stopped and waited for Vash to remember where he parked the car, "You do remember where you parked it right?"

"Of course I do!" Vash said as he took off.

Saku barked and pulled at his pants, dragging in another direction. Kat rolled her eyes and dragged Vash after Saku who led them back to their car. Kat snagged the keys form Vash and unlocked the car. Kurama switched to human form and helped Kat load the bags into the car while Vash studied a map.

Kat climbed into next to him and sighed, "It's upside-down."

"I knew that!" he said as Kat turned it around for him.

She flicked him on the nose, "Let's have Kurama drive."

Vash gave up trying to read the map and climbed into the back of the car to join Kat. Their Limited edition silver Sequoia still smelled like new shoes even though it was almost over a year old.

Saku climbed into the seat next to Kurama to ride stagecoach. Kurama flicked on the radio and the Eagles 'Highway to Hell' began to play. Kat reached forward to change the channel and they laughed nervously.

Kat buckled herself in and then made sure everyone else was wearing theirs. She had to untangle Vash from his and Saku needed help with her customized one but they were off in a matter of minutes. Kat was beginning to experience jetlag from the twelve hour flight.

It was dark outside and she was guessing it had to be at least two in the morning. It was almost impossible for her to sleep on the plane since Sano and Megumi kept asking endless questions. Kat had found out that everyone was enjoying their life. Karou had married someone named Jason (and it made Kat wonder if it was the same Jason Tanya had known), Shippo and Kagome were living with Koga, Sango and Miroku had gotten married, and it surprised Kat that only Misao and Aoshi were the only ones left (besides Tanya and Inuyasha) in the past.

They all lived with in a few blocks of each other except for Kat. While Kat lived just outside of Kyoto, everyone else lived near Tokyo. She was shaken from her thoughts when another familiar song came over the radio (A/N: Yes, I know that the probability of these songs playing in Japan is slim but bear with me!).

It was 'Can't Breathe' by Dido. She sung a few lyrics, "Don't wanna call my friends…they might wake me from this dream." Kat yawned and balled up her sweater.

She placed it behind her head and closed her eyes. Kurama made a sharp turn and Kat slipped sideways onto Vash. She grinned apologetically at him and made to move when he stopped her by resting his head on top of hers.

"Needle-noggin," Kat whispered before removing the sweater and burring her face in Vash's chest. Kurama and Saku smiled knowingly at each other.
