Kai walked outside the hospital carrying a black duffle bag. He looked around for a moment before his eyes spotted who he was looking for.

"Hey!" Tala called out. "Ready to go?"

Kai only nodded and followed the red headed Russian down the busy street.

"What time does your plane leave?"

"I don't really know. Hilary said that Mr. Dickinson would forward a ticket to the gate."

"We better hurry then, just in case." Tala said.

After a bus ride and 10 minutes of walking, the two teens finally reached the airport.

"Flight from Moscow to Tokyo now boarding." A voice rang out through the intercom as Kai and Tala rushed past the crowds of people.

"I'm here to pick up a ticket." Kai told the lady standing behind the ticket counter.

"Alright, what's your name?"

"Kai Hiwatari to Tokyo."

The lady typed away at her computer for a few moments, making Kai a little nervous.

"Alright, everything checks out. Here's your ticket, and you better hurry! Your flight leaves in 10 minutes!"

Kai thanked the lady and ran down the hall with Tala.

As they past a gift shop, Kai suddenly stopped and ran inside.

"What are you doing! You're not going to make it!" Tala shouted.

"It won't take long." Kai said as he grabbed something, paid the cashier and ran out.

"Why did you buy those?"

"I remember Hilary thinking about them when I was in the hospital, and I wanted to find some for her." Kai replied looking down at what he just bought.

"Well, I hope they don't dry up on the way there." Tala said.

They finally came to the gate, and the flight attendant was just about to close the door.

"Wait!" Tala and Kai called out.

Kai almost ran into the lady as he gave her his ticket.

"Just in time!" The lady smiled.

"Well, I guess this is it. Pleasure seeing you again. Take care of yourself." Tala said extending his hand.

Kai grabbed in and shook it. "I'll be back. Take care of things for me."

Tala smiled and nodded. "Goodbye Kai!"

Kai waved and disappeared inside the corridor.

Hours later:

Hilary and Mr. Dickinson sat on the stiff chairs in the Tokyo International Airport, waiting for Kai to show up. Hilary had fallen asleep, and Mr. Dickinson was busy reading the newspaper.

"Flight 521 from Moscow arriving in 10 minutes." A voice announced on the intercom.

Mr. Dickinson looked over his paper to see that Hilary was still asleep, and decided to let her. She hadn't gotten alot of sleep since they had to leave Kai in Russia. She couldn't stop worrying about him!

The elder chuckled to himself and went back to reading his paper.

Kai unbuckled his seatbelt and waited for the crowd to move through the small isle. Once it was clear, he stood up and grabbed his bag from the overhead compartment. He reached in to retrieve his gift and then continued out of the plane.

"Thank you for flying Japan International!" One of the flight attentants told him as he stepped out.

Kai nodded to her and smiled.

A few moments later, he walked into the waiting area, and saw Hilary curled up on a couple of chairs. He smiled and slowly and quietly walked over. He bent down and held his gift infront of him.

"Good morning sleepy head." Kai said as Hilary slowly opened her eyes.

She looked up and saw Kai smiling down at her.

"Kai!" She exclaimed, startling Mr. Dickinson, and throwing her arms around the blue-haired teen.

Kai slid his arms around her waisted and hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much."

"You wouldn't believe how much I missed you!" Hilary replied.

Kai set her back down on the ground. "Oh, I found these for you."

He presented her with a boquet of flowers. Hilary gasped as she took them out of his hands.

"These flowers....."

"Only found in Russia.....I heard you....talking about them." Kai said blushing a little.

"I love them! Thank you!" She exclaimed and kissed him.

Mr. Dickinson cleared his throat. "I'm glad to see you up and well again Kai!"

"Thank you sir." Kai said.

"Come on! We have a surprise for you." Mr. Dickinson said walking down the hall.

They came to the entrance where a black car pulled up. Mr. Dickinson got in the front while Hilary and Kai scooted in the back. The car took off toward Tyson's neighborhood.

Hilary smiled as she quickly wrapped a piece of cloth around Kai's eyes.

"What's going on?" Kai demanded, his hands picking at the blindfold.

Hilary slapped his hand, and it quickly fell to his lap.

"No peeking!" Hilary said smiling.

About 15 minutes later, the car arrived to it's destination.

"Alright! We're here!" Mr. Dickinson announced as the car slowed to a stop.

"Hilary, what's going on!" Kai demanded again, his voice getting louder.

"Geez Kai! You don't have to get angry!" Hilary said.

"I.....sorry." Kai's head fell.

Hilary giggled. "Come on!" She said getting out of the car and pulling Kai behind her.

Hilary led Kai away from the car and suddenly stopped. She positioned him and the stood behind him.

"Ready?" She asked as she removed the blindfold.

Kai opened his eyes and gasped at what he saw.
