"We're here? Already?" asked Yoh, sounding half-dead.
"Yoh," said Fuu as she turned around to look at him, "how much sleep did you get last night?"
"In total? About 14 hours."
"And you're still tired?"
"Uh," Mari cut in, "I don't think you've noticed, but YOH'S ALWAYS TIRED! HE SLEPT IN A PUDDLE OF MUD LAST WEEK FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!"
"Owwwww! Mari!" Fuu and Inuyasha flattened their ears on their heads. "Please don't yell that loud! It hurts!"
"Oh. Sorry. I forgot."
"It's alright. Okay, people. We're going to do this in a neat, orderly, organized, civilized manner. LINE UP!" On Fuu's command, everyone on the bus-except Fuu, Mari, and Inuyasha, got off and stood in a straight, single-file line. Fuu giggled again. "This is fun! You know. Bossing everyone around."
"Yes. I've noticed. By the way, I'm proud of you. You used big words all by yourself!"
"Yea! I know! I feel proud!" Fuu giggled.
Fuu, Mari, and Inuyasha got off the bus and walked down the line of humans, and shamans, spirits, and a species of its very own. This species included Opacho, Miroku, and Myouga. Fuu opened the hatch on the side of the bus. She and Inuyasha got the luggage out of the little compartment. Fuu, not knowing she had made a big mistake, sent Faust, Eliza, and Mari to get a few carts to push the luggage on.
Roughly fifteen minutes had passed. Everyone was getting tired of standing around. Then, Faust came around the side of the bus pushing the cart. Eliza and Mari were sitting on the cart, talking. There was another cart that Faust was pulling behind him.
"Well," Faust said as he stopped walking, thus, stopping the carts, "here they are."
A wave of "finally"'s and "took ya long enough"'s and other remarks sounded down the line of the group. Mari and Eliza got off the one cart. Eliza went back to the line and stood next to Faust.
"Faust," Fuu started, "you didn't do any damage to anyone or anything while getting the carts, did you?"
"No. I mean, sure I pushed a few people out of the way, and ran over some other people with the carts, and accidentally let go of one of the carts, and it crashed into someone's car, and–"
"Alright. Don't tell me anymore," Fuu said as she giggled at the thought of the looks on Faust's, Mari's, and Eliza's faces when those things happened.
Mari helped Fuu and Inuyasha pile the luggage onto the carts and tie them down.
Once the luggage was all set on the carts, 'cart-pushers' were assigned. Faust was banned from cart-pushing for the rest of the trip; it's way too dangerous. The cart-pushers were, of course, Inuyasha and Mari. Think about this. A half-demon pushing a cart weighed down with like a ton of luggage. Not THAT hard. Now think about this. A shaman pushing a cart with, even HALF the weight of the half-demon's cart. Now THAT would be a funny sight. But moving on...
Fuu led the group, followed by the carts and then the rest of the group, to the front doors of the airport. Fuu and Mari looked at each other and did a 'mirror-check'. Fuu made sure Mari looked perfect, and Mari made sure Fuu looked perfect. Once they fixed each other's hair and things, they returned to what they were doing. Fuu walked in the doors, followed by the carts, and (u can probably guess this) then the group. Fuu walked up to the place that weighed the luggage. She and Inuyasha put the luggage onto the scale one-by-one-by-one-by-one-by-one... Mari would've helped, but her arms were very sore from pushing the cart.
After they weighed the luggage and got tags and slips and crap, they went to the security area. The security people, who scared Fuu and Mari greatly (they thought the men worked for the FBI and were looking for them lol), ran each piece of luggage through like 4 or 5 or 6...or 20 security belts. Once all the luggage had been checked and tagged and sent down, as Fuu called it, 'the moving sidewalk that took your suitcases to a bus thingy that took your suitcases to the plane', the group went to the ticket counter.
They waited in line for about an hour and a half. Then, it was -finally- their turn. It took the people FOREVER to print out all the tickets. Once Fuu had all the tickets in her hands, she counted them and made sure they WERE ALL there. And they were.
Fuu and Inuyasha led the group to the shopping center. There was a McDonald's next to some stores. Mari and Fuu ordered everyone's breakfast, and everyone else went shopping. The girls took breakfast to the tables and set them out. It was a matter of seconds before the group was all sitting at the tables eating.
"Flight 271 from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America to Milwaukee, Minnesota, United States of America will be boarding in five minutes. I repeat. Flight 271 from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America to Milwaukee, Minnesota, United States of America will be boarding in five minutes," came over the intercom.
Fuu, Inuyasha, and Mari looked at each other. Once again, their eyes went to the size of hula-hoops. "OKAY!" yelled Fuu, ignoring the pain that was in her ears and most likely in Inuyasha's ears, "pack up breakfast and stuff it in your carry-ons! We have exactly 2.5 minutes to get to the other side of the airport. That will gives 2.5 minutes to get our tickets stamped and get on the plane and get our seats." When Fuu was done talking, everyone had their breakfasts packed up and they had their carry-ons hanging from every limb on their body.
"Okay! Let's move!" yelled Mari. The group ran down the hall, hopped on the moving sidewalk, which at this time in the morning, was empty. Well, ALMOST empty. There was one innocent person, but Fuu took care of him. She pushed him over the short glass wall. I mean, who cares if he broke an arm and a leg or two? Certainly not Fuu.
The group ran down the moving sidewalk. Finally, they made it to gate C-3 (after running over a few little children, and pushing some more people out of their way lol). Fuu ran up to the ticket counter and handed her the stack of tickets. The lady quickly stamped each ticket and handed them back to Fuu. They ran down the stairs, down the winding ramp, then down the boarding ramp, then finally they got onto the plane. They threw their carry-ons into the compartments above their seats, and sat down.
Fuu was sitting next to Inuyasha (of course! thats me! XP), Kagome and Kikyou, Faust and Mari, Yoh and Anna, Rio and Morty, and so on... As soon as they got settled in their seats...
"Uh, this is your captain speaking. We will be taking off in exactly one minute. Please return to your seats. The seatbelt sign has been turned on. And for those of you who may, for some reason, not know what that means, please buckle your seat belts."
The group fumbled over their belts. They finished buckling right in time, too. The engine revved up. Fuu and Inuyasha flattened their ears tight down on their heads. They quickly pulled four or five hats on their heads.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SHUT IT OFF!" screamed Fuu and Inuyasha. "OWWWWWWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW OWWWWWWW! THAT HURTS! OW!"
Finally, they were in the air, level. No more loud noises. Well, not until they landed, anyways.
It's been an hour. Only half an hour left until they get to Milwaukee. Almost everyone was asleep. Yoh was, too, of course. Fuu and Inuyasha were turned around in their seats talking to Mari and Faust.
"Like yea!" Fuu said. "I'm like TOTALLY excited! I mean, one week of land tours, then one week on a cruise ship!" she squealed.
"Yup. I'm really excited too!" Inuyasha said, NOT sarcastically.
"And you said you'd hate it."
"Well, I changed my mind."
"Sorry. Only GIRLS are allowed to change their minds that fast."
"Opps. Too bad. Guess I didn't get the memo. You're out of luck."
"Uh," Mari cut in, "Fuu. Please don't look out the windows."
"Wh–" started Fuu, but she looked out the window and her voice faltered. "OH MY GOSH! AHHHH! WATER! WE'RE FLYING OVER WATER!"
"You love water," said Inuyasha.
"Yea. When I'm on LAND! NOT WHEN I'M FLYING OVER IT!"
"Guh, this is your captain speaking. We will be landing in Milwaukee, Minnesota, United States of America in roughly two minutes. Please return to your seats and buckle up. Thank you for your cooperation."
Fuu sat down in her seat and buckled up. She looked out her window. They were descending. It looked like they were still over the water, even though they weren't. She started to freak. Then, the wheels hit the runway and made a crashing sort of sound.
"I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead," Fuu kept repeating to herself.
"Uh, no you're not," Inuyasha replied.
"Yea I am. And so are you. We crashed into the water and suffocated and died and now instead of running to the light, we're sitting in the plane. Like total and complete idiots."
"No. Actually, we only landed."
"Yea. Fine. We "landed". I believe you. Because we "landed" in the WATER!"
"No! We're on the runway!" Inuyasha sighed.
Fuu looked out her window. "So we are!" she stated as a sweat drop appeared.
"This is your captain speaking. Yet again. We have landed safely, and you are now safe to unbuckle and exit the plane. Thank you for flying with us and for cooperating. Have a nice day!"
The group stood up and replaced their carry-ons to the limbs of their bodies. They moved to the front of the plane and exited, walked up the boarding ramp, then up some stairs, out of gate D-6, and onto a moving sidewalk. They just stood there and let the sidewalk move them. Even though most of them slept on the plane and got a new burst of energy, they were still pretty tired from carrying all the carry-ons. There were tons of them! Anyways, when they reached the end of the moving sidewalk, they stepped off, and started walking to the other gate where they would catch Flight 965 from Milwaukee, Minnesota, United States of America to Fairbanks, Alaska, United States of America.
