Darkdreams: It's done! It's posted! I think I deserve a round of applause! …now for the apology. I'm so sorry that I've kept all of you waiting, but in between school, exams, and just having to live in general it's been hard for me to find time or inspiration to write. But I owe it to all of you to finish this sequel and be done with it! I think I've gotten my inspiration back now, aside from a few things in this plot that I'm not sure what to do with…oh, also I'm getting tired of calling Kisa's mom "Kisa's mother" or "Mrs. Sohma". Does anyone know if she has a real first name in the show? I tried to find it, but can't. If you could help me out I'd be extremely grateful. Review responses are at the bottom for this chapter, and without further ado I give you the second chapter of my sequel!

---------------

Kyo hated airports. Not only were they noisy, crowded and usually smelled bad, but he had a few bad experiences at airports as well. Mainly ones where he ended up getting carted back home. His natural instincts as a cat didn't help either; flying wasn't on his list of favourite things to do. Just being able to look down and see cities that looked about as big as his hand was something wrong in its self.

Yuki had accidentally been transformed and was waiting in a bathroom stall until he changed back. This gave Kyo a lot of time to just lean on a wall and think.

He was wearing a black leather jacket with tight blue jeans, and a red cotton tee shirt. Yuki had a certain…fetish for Kyo in tight jeans and a leather jacket, although usually he liked him shirtless and on a motorcycle…but that wasn't very appropriate for a public place. Around his neck he wore only a chain with a fancy gothic cross on it, a present from Kisa, and his beaded bracelet of course.

In his hand he clutched the keys to the black BMW waiting outside, and the keys to the van that Yuki would be driving. Mrs. Sohma only had two cars, and they needed both to fit everyone in. In his jacket pocket was the key to a nearby hotel suite, where the family would all be staying. A sigh escaped his lips as he thought about everyone once again being around. The ones still in school would be missing the week, and Hiro was angry that he didn't get to miss school as well. But Mrs. Sohma was adamant about Hiro going, and he hadn't been able to move her.

"You look tired, Kyo." Yuki murmured, resting his chin on Kyo's shoulder and straightening his navy blue blazer. Kyo smiled gently but stared straight ahead. In the crowd for a moment he could have sworn he saw Akito, standing still in the midst of the blurred people, a small frown marring his angelic face. Kyo jerked forward somewhat, startling Yuki.

"Kyo!" He exclaimed, pulling the orange haired boy back and forcing him to cleave to the wall. "What's the matter with you?" Yuki said angrily, glaring at Kyo's uneasy expression.

"Nothing, I just thought I saw someone…" Kyo hugged Yuki tightly, surprising him and crushing the smaller boy.

"Ok, ok," Yuki wheezed out, "You can let go of me now!"

Kyo released Yuki and went back to leaning on the wall. Yuki followed his example.

"So what'd you see?" Yuki finally asked. He was wearing a navy blue blazer with a black turtleneck and black dress pants.

"I dunno, just someone who looked familiar," Kyo lied. /No reason to rile him up, it was nothing./

"Hm," Yuki murmured in response, searching the crowd for signs of the large group of Sohma's.

"Stay together," a stern voice carried up over the crowds.

"Oh but Hari-chan, look at all the pretty high-school girls!" a sing-song voice replied.

"Aw, Gure-chan, I thought I was your only love" came a joking voice.

Kyo sighed and clenched a fist. Looking over, he saw Yuki with large, worried eyes and could tell that he was rethinking whether or not this was such a good idea.

"It'll be ok," Kyo said gruffly, taking Yuki's hand in his. Yuki looked over but saw that Kyo had busied himself with looking down at the floor, so he just squeezed the neko's hand and smiled at the group approaching them.

"Common," Kyo said once they had all finally said hello and had sufficiently annoyed Yuki, "Lets get out of here."

"So Tohru," Yuki said while driving the van, his eyes trained to the road, "How is school going? Are you doing well?"

"Oh!" Tohru sat up very straight and blushed. "I've been trying very hard, Eryk-sama has generously offered to pay for university…that is, if I get accepted."

"I see," Yuki said, and smiled over at Tohru who was sitting in the passenger seat. "I'm sure you'll get in, Tohru."

"Of course she will!" Ayame popped up in between Yuki and Tohru from the back, "she's getting top marks in her classes now! And she may be running for student council president!" All this, of course, was said in a sing-song voice, imitating that of Shigure's.

Tohru looked even more embarrassed then before, and quickly tried to change the subject.

"Anyways, how is it going for you and Kyo?" she asked.

"Yes, how are the lovebirds?" chortled Ayame.

"Don't you have a place to sit?" Yuki asked in an annoyed tone, glaring at Ayame. "And why aren't you in the car with Shigure?"

Ayame pouted and slumped back in his seat. "But little brother, I was just asking you about your life. You're important to me--" Ayame's voice was rising, as was his excitement. "—And I want you to know that, so that is why I must ponder your wanderings and you may think I'm annoying, but I love you little brother, I Lo--"

Yuki flung his arm towards the backseat and hit Ayame in the face, effectively shutting him up.

"Be quiet." He said. Chatter resumed in the car and Yuki turned up the radio a bit. Ayame lay dazed in his seat, but soon rejoined the conversation, being careful not to annoy Yuki further.

"How was the ride?" Yuki asked Kyo once they had all reached the house.

"Lets just say that they should feel lucky to be alive." Kyo snarled, stalking towards the house with his cat-ears sticking straight up. Everybody piled into the house and were greeted by Kisa and Hiro in the living room.

"Come into the dining room," Kisa urged, pulling Tohru by the hand, "and have lunch with us!"

"Oh, ok, ok!" Tohru giggled and allowed herself to be dragged into the other room, with Hiro reluctantly following.

"Hello Mrs. Sohma," Kagura greeted, and everyone else followed. Soon they were all sitting on couches and drinking tea, courtesy of Tohru, Kisa and Hiro.

"I'm very sorry that we don't have room for all of you," Kisa's mother apologized again.

"It's fine, I think we should be ok in the hotel," Shigure said, smiling. Hatori rolled his eyes when the writer began to cackle maniacally and rub his hands together in a gesture of mischief.

"Well, as long as you all visit us every day! I'm sure Kyo and Yuki wouldn't mind giving you tours around here, to show you all the sites."

Kyo and Yuki paled at the thought. Ayame was delighted and clapped his hands together. "Finally some real quality time with my baby brother! And what fun we will have! I'll have to get you o show me all the dress shops around here, so I can scope out what they're selling, and then we can visit that large tower thing, what's it called again? And of course we'll have to…"

Ayame went on. The conversation between everyone else started up again, attempting to drown him out.

The phone rang. Kyo jumped up, his stomach twisting into knots. "I got it," he stated, and ran into the kitchen.

"Hello?" he said, trying to calm his racing heart.

"Hello Kyo." Eryk's voice did not soothe Kyo's rampant thoughts at all. In fact, he seriously considered throwing the phone at the wall and then stomping on it.

"Eryk, uh, hi." Without anything else to say, he waited for the new Head of the House to speak again. His voice sounded so much like Akito's used to. It sent chills up Kyo's spine.

"Just calling to say hello. Do you mind if I speak to Kisa's mother?"

"Um, no. I'll go get her right now."

"Ah, hold on. Did everyone arrive safely?"

"Yeah. I'll get her…"

"Alright." Eryk sounded disappointed, but Kyo tried not to think about it. He put the phone down, calling for Kisa's mother to pick the phone up. When she picked up, Kyo hung the phone up and jumped away from it like it was poisonous.

"Something wrong Kyo?" Momiji asked, startling him.

"No," Kyo growled, trying to pretend he hadn't jumped. Before Momiji could ask any more questions Kyo bolted past him and upstairs. He needed to think.

Don't forget to send me a review! I'll give you a purple sock!
