Disclaimer- i don't own anything, though I wish I did. I didn't do anything to make them rich. this story is just something that came from my dumb mind during a very boring day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dear, when will we be leaving?" Kisa asked innocently to her travelling companion.

"Don't call me that. You know that I don't like that name. Especially coming from your mouth. you are only what, 15?" Hatori said back as they waited for their plane to America.

Kisa had gotten a scholorship at a university in America and she didn't want to go alone, so she asked Hatori to come with her, since he was the only mature and responsible Sohma willing to go with her.

"Yes, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't treat me nicely." Kisa complained.

Hatori sighed. "Kisa, I won't disrespect you." Hatori reassured her.

"Sure." Kisa said unbelievingly.

"You are impossible." Hatori said.

"....."

"Flight B247 American Airlines has arrived in gate 4. First class please come to the appropriate desk." The loudspeaker said.

"That's our plane. Let's go." Hatori said as he picked up his breifcase and Kisa's strolling suitcase.

"Hatori, I can drag my own things." Kisa said.

"If you do then we would be late." Hatori reasoned.

"You are so mean." Kisa complained.
"...."

When they reached the gate they were supposed to be at, the girl at the desk said," Hello, my I see your ticket's?"

Hatori handed over the ticket's.

"Sohmas' Hatori and Kisa right?" the girl said at the counter. " I need to know the relationship between you two. Is it husband wife, brother sister or anything else?"

"We're cousin's." Hatori said.

"OK. I only asked because the airlines need to know if anyone will be escorting the children." the girl said.

"I'm 15." Kisa said as she and Hatori walked onto the plane.

"Did I ever say that you weren't?" Hatori asked.

"No, but you didn't correct that girl at the counter. She thought that I a child and then you didn't correct her." Kisa said with a slight pout.

"Haven't I ever told you not to pout at me?" Hatori asked looking at Kisa.

"Yes, but I also found that it works. You give in. " Kisa said with a small smile.

"You're impossible." Hatori said as they reached the plane.

"Hello! Welcome to American Airlines. Hope you have a nice plane ride. If you need any help in finding your seats, you know where to find me." the flight attendent said with a fake smile.

"...." was the only response from Hatori and Kisa.

"Kisa, get in first." Hatori said quickly before she made him sit on the inside. Actually, that's what he wanted her to think, but really, he didn't want other guys looking at her the wrong way. Who knew what kind of guys would board the plane.

"Hatori, you're so protective." Kisa complained as she sat by the window.

"Kisa, do you know what type of guys are out in this world? There are people worse than Shigure and Ayame." Hatori explained.

"Well well well. Looks like the Sohma found a girl." a cold and steely voice said from beside Hatori.

Hatori looked up, " Li, what are you doing here?" he asked the man with dark blue hair and violet colored eyes.

"What is a man not allowed to board a plane?" Li asked innocently. Then looking at Kisa, " Well hello preety girl. What's your name?"

"I'm a Sohma. That's all you need to know." Kisa said coldly since she sensed that Hatori wasn't on friendly terms with him.

"Oh really. Are you married to Hatori?" Li asked sweetly.

"Ah how 'bout no. Older than me by 15 years. Whoah, Hatori, you're 30 years old. You're ancient!" Kisa said.

"Hmm fiesty aren't we?" Li asked.

"Back off Li. She's already engaged."Hatori said coldly.

"To whom? You?" Li asked.

"No. One engagement was enough for me." Hatori said.

"Sir, could you please sit down? The plane will be lifting off soon." an attendent said to Li.

And so he sat down, in the seat in the row next to Hatori and Kisa.

"Hatori, why did you have to...." Kisa never finished her sentence because she then had fallen asleep.

The plane had been in air for over 6 hours. Kisa had tried to stay awake but failed.

Li saw Hatori's look at Kisa. The kind of look that a big brother would give their little sister's when they were asleep.

"I can't believe that I had to do that." Hatori mumered quetly to himself.

"Hatori, you couldn't have stopped it. It was all Akito's doing. You were just following orders." Kisa mumbled as she woke up to Hatori's deep voice.

"But I still don't feel right after I did that." Hatori said quietly.

"Hatori, what's past is past. Don't depress yorself wit depressing issues." Kisa said with a sad smile.

"I know, but why do I still feel guilty after it? The last time I did it the last time and the time before that, I felt fine afterwards." Hatori faintly said.

"Are you sure about that?" Kisa asked with a small smirk that was foriegn on her lips.

"Kisa!" Hatori said sharply.

"What it's true. You went around moping the last time. I wasn't too young to remember you know." Kisa pointed out.

"Aren't you tired yet?" Hatori asked in annoyance. He was getting tired of listening to Kisa reviving old memories.

" I am, but you need to stop feeling so guilty. Maybe when we go back, she'll remember everything." Kisa said hopefully.

"Hmp." was Hatori's only response.

"I'm going to sleep. If they bring around the little baggies of peanuts, get one for me? Please?" Kisa asked.

"Sure." Hatori said pulling out his paperwork.

Unfortunaltly Kisa had seen the papers and she had strictly told Hatori, no paper work on the plane. All the info in the papers upset her. "Hatori, you promised me that you won't do any paper work on the plane." Kisa said quietly, saddened by the fact that Hatori would break his promise to her so easily.

"Kisa do you ever miss any thing?" Hatori asked half jokingly.

"No and don't do the paper work when we aren't even half way there." Kisa said stubbornly.

Hatori sighed. "Fine, I'll stop with the paper work. But you have to rest. We havee the meeting 30 minutes after we get there. The offices sre only 10 mins away from the airport." Hatori said sternly.

"Do we have to get to buisness so quickly?" Kisa asked quietly saddened by the fact that they weren't able to explore the area before going to the offices. "Oh Hatori, what will you do when I go to school?" Kisa asked out of curiosity.

"I'll figure it out when the time comes." Hatori said.

"Ok. Now get some sleep. You look older than 30. You look around 50." Kisa said jokingly.

"Fine, but then you also have to get some sleep. it's bad for your health, staying awake for so long." Hatori said, settling down for the night.

"Ok." and the two fell asleep.

The next morning.

"Hatori wake up. We're almost there." Kisa said excitededly.

"Nggh." Hatori said groggily.

"Please wake up? Otherwise I'll I'll I'll..."

"Do nothing dangerous to my health." Hatori finished, now wide awake.

"Hatori, please brush your teeth." Kisa said with a small frown.

"No one told you to threaten me with something childish." HAtori said getting up to get his toothbrush and paste.

"True, and while you're up, can you get me mine? Kisa asked looking out the window.

HAtori passed her her toothbrush and paste then went to the bathroom and Kisa was left alone.

"So you and Hatori are cousins?" Li asked slidding into Hatori's seat.

"Yes and could you please sit in your seat? Your bad breathe is just about to over power me." Kisa said disdainfully.

"Fiesty aren't we?" Li asked with a smirk.

"Leave the girl alone." Hatori said coming back smelling minty fresh.

"So you're her bodyguard huh?" Li asked with a smirk.

"Something like that. But please leave my seat. I have to sit." Hatori sighed.

"Fine." and Li left.

"Go and brush your teeth." Hatori said to Kisa.

Kisa got up and went to the lavortory(?) and did her buisness. When she came back, the breakfast had already come.

"Kisa, hurry up and eat your breakfast, before it gets cold." Hatori said.

"Fine but I'm not hungry." Kisa said looking at what she was supposed to eat. "Maybe later." she added.

"I'm not going to force you to eat. BUt if you're hungry, I do have some little bags of chips for you. I figured, you won't eat on the plane, so I packed some things for you to eat." Hatori said handing Kisa a little bag of potato chips.

"Ok now that we are done eating, you have to tell me that you are over with what you did 2 months ago." Kisa said to Hatori.

"I am not over what I did. It will take more than 2 months, you might not know the loss, but I do. It still hurts." Hatori sad looking down at his hands in his lap.

"Ok.But do try and get over it. Otherwise, it'll destroy you. And no one wants that. You are the only doctor that we have. Besides, I need another bag of chips. I'm still hungry." Kisa said with a smile.

"Here." and Hatori gave her a little baggie.

"Hatori, where are we?" Kisa asked looking out the window, and sighing at the beauty of the Pacific Ocean.

"Near land. Around 1 more hour." Hatori said as he looked at the scedule that they had to follow once they landed.

"Ok Wake me up when we get there ok?" Kisa said settling in to sleep for 5 minutes.

"Fine." Hatori said absent-mindedly.

"Hatori, I know that you are still upset over what you had to do, but you are not the only one suffering from the loss. You think that I don't suffer from that?"Kisa asked with tears in her eyes.

"I never said that you never suffered. I knew that you would also be affected by what happened. Go to sleep. I don't want you to fall asleep during your interview." Hatori said looking at Kisa.

"Ok." and she then fell asleep for 10 minutes, before the flight attendent's voice came over the overhead speakers.

"We will be landing in about 10 minutes, so could every passenger please put your seat in an upright position and buckle your seat belts." the flight attendent said.

"Looks like we're almost there." Kisa said staring out the window, sad that her plane journey was almost over.

"Yeah, are you ready?" Hatori asked Kisa.

"I guess. But what if they don't like me? Or what if the students don't like me?" Kisa worried.

"Kisa, don't worry about that. Forget about your what ifs and just be yourself." Hatori advised.

"But what if they don't like me the way I am?" Kisa said," They didn't like me the way I was at home!"

"Don't worry about it." Hatori said firmly, as the plane hit land.

"OK." and so they walked into the O'hare International Airport.
"Kisa, your new journey now begins." Hatori said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's a dumb story, I know. But the bad thig is, it took me a month and a half to write this.
