Zoë groaned and turned over trying to ignore her brother. "Go away Derrick. I'm trying to sleep."
"Not any more. It's time to wake up. We have to leave soon." Derrick sat on the end of her bed and started bouncing. "Wake up!"
"No!" Zoë pulled the covers over her head. "Go away!"
"Zoë is you don't get up now, I'll miss my flight." He pulled the covers off his sister.
"Holy shit!" Zoë jumped out of bed and ran to her closet. "I forgot you were leaving today. How much time do we have till we have to be at the airport?"
Derrick massaged his temples and laid back on his sister's bed. "I swear Zoë. You're so forgetful." He sighed and looked at his sister. "We have half an hour before we have to leave. If you think you can shower and be ready in that amount of time then fine, but if not, wait till you get back to take a shower and just throw some clothes on."
Zoë looked herself over and then looked at the bathroom door. "I guess I look good enough to drop you off without a shower." She made a disgusted face. "That's disgusting though. I can't believe you do that."
"I only do it when I have to." He sighed and stood up. "You have half an hour Zoë. We have to leave by 5:30."
"Ok. Ok. I'll be ready by then. Gosh." She turned back to her closet. "Get out now so I can get dressed."
Derrick waved his hand in the air. "Yeah yeah. Just hurry up." He walked out of the room mumbling about how lazy his sister was and closed the door behind him.

Yusuke stared at his ceiling, "We have to kill the demon who marked her." He rolled onto his side and closed his eyes. "How are we supposed to find him? We don't even know who took her." He rolled back onto his back and kicked off his covers. "Shit…. This is going to be harder than I thought. Now I not only have to compete with Kurama, I have to hunt down and kill a demon to even be able to hug her."
Yusuke groaned as his mother started to bang on his bedroom door. "Damn it Yusuke! Get up!"
He slowly migrated to the door and opened it. "What the hell do you want now?"
His mother smiled brightly at him, "I'm going out sweetie." She kissed his cheek. "I didn't want you to worry about me. Bye now." She turned around and half skipped out the door.
Yusuke slammed his bedroom door and walked back to his bed mumbling.

Zoë hugged her brother and wished him a good flight. "I'm so glad you came to visit." She looked at her feet and then back up at her brother with tears in her eyes. "I'm going to miss you. Please come back soon."
Derrick took his sister in his arms and gently rubbed her back. "Don't worry Zo, I will." He placed his hands on Zoë's shoulders and looked her in the eye. "If you need me for anything… I mean ANYTHING, give me a call and I'll get here as fast as I can. Understand?"
Zoë wiped her eyes and nodded. "Of course."
Derrick smiled and placed his hand on her cheek. "I love you, Sis. Goodbye."
"Goodbye Derrick." She rested her head on his hand. "I love you too. Tell mom and dad I say I love them and I miss them."
"Will do."
A voice over a speaker was heard through the terminal, "Now boarding seats 16-25." the voice repeated several more times as people said their final goodbyes.
Derrick grabbed his bags, "Well that's me. I'll bee you again soon. Bye Zoë." He turned to his aunt. "Thanks for letting me stay with you." He moved closer to her and whispered so Zoë couldn't hear. "Take care of her. Watch whenever those boys come around. I don't trust them." He turned and walked to the gate before his aunt had a chance to answer.
