"Ok so how are we going to get to Chicago?" Shigure asked as the group of Sohmas stood outside the airport. It was around 5:00, and the sun was just beginning to rise. "Dunno…" came mutters from the clump.
"We're going to rent a car and drive," stated Hatori, who didn't seem quite so warn out. "Oh, so that's where you've been?" Shigure asked. Hatori nodded and then led them to the car.
The car was an extremely old and rusted van. It didn't look like it could make it more than two feet. "Well, I guess that's the kind of cars they drive here in America," Hatori said with almost a sigh. "Don't be silly, this is a rural area. There isn't much 'wealth'." Akito said, and then yawned even though he didn't seem all that tired.
Hatori herded the group into the car. There weren't enough seats for all of them, so the three smallest (Momiji, Hiro, Kisa) had to either share a seat with someone else or sit on the floor of the car. It was incredibly cramped and uncomfortable.
Hatori put the keys into the ignition. "4 hour drive to Chicago. I advise you sleep on the way." He said as he backed the car out of its space. The Sohmas only groaned. 'How is anyone expected to sleep at a time like this?' thought Shigure.

McKenna was the first onto the outdoor platform. It was raining very hard. As Natalie exited, lightning lit the sky for a moment, and then a long roar of thunder sounded. Next came Sarah, who handed both of them an umbrella, and then one to the other two when they exited.
"Ok, how do you suggest we get to The Boss's place?" Natalie asked McKenna, now under the protection of her umbrella. "A cab." McKenna replied firmly and definitely. Natalie nodded in agreement and pulled her luggage towards the station exit. She then quickly checked to see if the others were still behind them.
The others seemed to be having trouble with their luggage, especially Sabrina. With the same look of annoyance on their faces, McKenna and Natalie moved towards them and lugged the bags to the spot where theirs was. "Wow you guys are strong," Sarah expressed as they watched the two pull the luggage with indeed incredible strength.
"Ok guys, we're taking a cab," McKenna spoke in manner that left the subject unquestionable. She put her hand out into the street with her thumb up.
