'You may now unfasten your seatbelts and walk around the cab freely. Have a nice flight.' A feminine voice called over the loud speaker and the seat belt signs went off. "Whew, this is my first time on a plane!" Tohru chanted to her male counterparts, "What about you?"
She turned towards the window and looked at Kyo, who frowned and rolled his eyes. Knowing she wasn't going to get anymore of an answer, she then turned towards the isle and looked at Yuki. "What about you?" she asked.
Yuki smiled at her innocence. "Yes, we both have." Happy with the answer, Tohru then looked forward at her upright tray in which she commenced to fiddle with, making it fall onto her lap. "That is so cool!" she cheered and put it up before she got anymore weird looks from strangers who walked by.
Just as she was settling down comfortably into her seat the plane began shaking uncontrollable. 'I'm sorry folks; we have just entered slight turbulence. Will you please buckle your seatbelts until further instruction.' The same feminine voice ordered calmly.
Tohru quickly and shakily buckled herself in and grabbed both of the boys' hands and squeezing her eyes shut until a soft voice came to her ears. "Chill, we are just going through a rain cloud. I'll keep you safe..." She opened her eyes and looked at Kyo with a nervous smile. "Thank you..."
Only moments later the turbulence was over and the girl was breathing normally again. "See, not that bad," Kyo chuckled and flicked her in the head. "Ow...ya..." Tohru grinned. This had potential to be a very scary... "Oh Kyo, try not to hurt the one we are trying to protect..." Yuki frowned. "Shut up you damn rat!" Kyo hissed...and a long flight...
"The President wants you to ready a team to greet the agents and Tohru Honda at the airport," Hatori commanded Captain Shigure, "He only wants you to take them into custody there, not kill them..." he finished. "Hatori...do ever get tired of being the President's errand boy?" Shigure commented with a yawn. A vein popped out of Hatori's forehead, "I am the advisor.......NOT the errand boy. Good day."
The little devise turned off and Shigure returned to his drawing. 'Ah, if I was president I would want a high school girl to be my errand boy...er...girl, not mean old Hatori...'
Kyo gazed out the window into the darkness of the night sky. He had no choice with Tohru leaning on his shoulder and Yuki leaning on hers, both asleep. All that weight had potential to get heavy after several hours. He turned to look at the two beside him with a grunt and gazed back out the window, catching something in his eye. He quickly looked over at Tohru, pondering what his course of action should be and decided to go through with it.
"Hey....wake up..." he whispered to her, softly and gently shaking her feeble, lifeless form. "Wha? Huh?" Tohru sleepily opened her eyes to look at the neko boy. "Look out the window..." he whispered even more softly and leaned back in his seat, giving Tohru room to lean over him.
She looked out the window and her eyes sparkled with delight. "Oh, it's wonderful!" she gasped, making Yuki stir. "It's only Las Vegas..." Kyo muttered, unable to admit he really enjoyed the girl's reaction, "I just thought since you've never seen any of these places you would want to....well go back to sleep."
He shooed the girl away from him and made himself as comfortable as possible and closed his eyes once he thought she was asleep again.
Yuki was the first to wake up and smiled to see Tohru leaning her head on his shoulder and her arm holding his. He just sat and gazed at her sleeping for a moment until his growling stomach woke her. "Hmm..." she opened her eyes and sat up quickly, a deep blush spread like wildfire across her face. "I...uh...I'm sorry..." "It's quite alright Miss Honda," Yuki smiled genuinely.
"Hey, I got us breakfast..." Kyo muttered coldly, throwing several bags of barbeque sunflower seeds onto everyone's lap. "That's all you could find?" Yuki inquired, quite annoyed. "Yes Mrs. Man, it is...and bottled water..."
Tohru concentrated down at one of the bags as if trying to open it with her mind. "I've never had barbeque sunflower seeds before...." She then put on her determined look and commenced to attempting to open the bag. When the first side wouldn't rip no matter what, she turned it over to rip at the other. She succeeded, accidentally throwing seeds in every direction, leaving just four in the bag.
Yuki gagged back a giggle and Kyo even smiled a little at the poor girl's misfortune. "Oh well..." Tohru sighed, looking as though she had given up the ghost, then smiling broadly, "Let's try one that's left!" She carefully pinched a sunflower seed and slipped it into her mouth. "It's delicious!"
Both young men let out a sigh like they had been expert chefs awaiting the host's approval over an exquisite meal and returned to their own bags. "Umm, may I please have a drink....if that's ok with one of you?" a sheepish voice asked, interrupting breakfast once more.
Kyo too hold of the bottle he had been drinking from and squeezed it, trying to get the nerve up to offer it, but it was too late. "Here you go Miss Honda; I've taken a drink from it though. Is that ok?" Yuki smiled, confidently handing Tohru his bottle. "Of course, I don't mind!" Tohru smiled, "You're not a freak or anything!"
The two looked at her in shock, especially Yuki. "...Even though we....turn into animals?" Yuki whispered with a blush across his face, looking down at his lap. "No, I mean...if that's a freakish thing then I would be one too....Do you think I'm a freak?" she asked, taking turns looking at each of them with wide eyes.
"Of course not!" "No!" They both paused for a moment afterwards though. "...What is...your power?" Kyo asked finally. Tohru smiled, "I can heal things....If I concentrate I can heal someone's broken bone or cure an illness like even cancer just by holding them....and some people say I can heal emotionally....but that I don't know..." When she was finished explaining she looked down into her lap where sunflower seeds where still present here and there. "Now do you think I'm a freak?"
"No, that's great! Why have you been hiding it? Don't you know how many people you could save?" Kyo told her, seemingly a little angry. "...because I got it when mom died....and then I had to stay at an orphanage...that was when I was....uh....eleven. I stayed there because could help the other children."
Both boys were speechless. Tohru looked back up at them both and smiled once more. "So how exactly do you all change? I mean....I touched you but I can touch you now and you don't..." This is where Yuki took over the speech. "Well, it's simple really...We have to hold completely around a member of the opposite sex, like if I hugged you I wouldn't change until I linked my hands. This took a lot of training though. It took several years to do this..." Kyo just grunted in agreement.
Tohru looked at the two boys with wide, admiring eyes. "I...I think that's wonderful!" Yuki smiled at her softly in appreciation and Kyo just blushed, a frown stuck to his face.
'Please fasten your seatbelts. The plane is coming in for a landing. Have a nice day and thank you for choosing Skyway Express.' The voice called over the intercom once again. Hearing this, Tohru quickly did as she was told and held on to her hosts with a death grip, closing her eyes tighter and tighter as she felt the jet begin to descend.
"Greetings, and on behalf of the United States government I would like to offer you a ride to your hotel room." A black suited man greeted at the entrance of the airport, "Come with me..."
Tohru obediently followed but Kyo grabbed Yuki's arm, holding them behind for a moment. "This doesn't feel right man..." he warned. "Yes, I feel rather uneasy myself...." Yuki agreed, so they nodded at each other and ran to catch up with Tohru.
The man was a few yards in front of them. "Yes sir, Operation Extermination has commenced. Are the snipers ready at the hotel?........roger....over and out..."
Oh the suspense! hahaha I had something really smart to say but I forgot....ummm..I had a really bad day! I wrote to settle my mood...hope you enjoy! Review!!!
