Hey again peoples! I'm sorry it took me so long to get Chapter 2 out, I'm only able to write on weekends, and this weekend I was sick until, well, today! But, seeing as waiting until getting Chapter 2 to you guys NEXT week was out of the question, HERE IS CHAPTER 2! Thanks to everyone that reviewed in Chapter 1!
Chapter 2- Fights, Fan Club Girls, All in a Fruits Basket
"Wow! Already, it is the day that we leave for the summer beach house!" Tohru thought hastily as she stepped into the airport. She witnessed the colossal planes from great, unsullied windows across the main floor that would ultimately transport her, Hana, Uo, and the rest of the zodiac members to the southern beach house.
"Tohru, are you, uh…, alright?" Kyo asked from behind her. Tohru, turning her head around hesitantly, had a petrified look on her face.
"Oh, of course Kyo! Why wouldn't I be!" Tohru asked riotously, flailing her arms in the procedure (and fruitfully drawing unwanted attention.)
"Well, maybe because you're standing in a daze in the doorway of the entrance to the airport?" Shigure replied plainly, not angry, but more amused. Tohru's eyes bulged wide with awkwardness.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll move right no—" Tohru discontinued with her words as she tripped on her own feet, and fell face-first into the marble flooring of the airport, giving room to enter again.
"Miss Honda, are you alright?" Yuki asked, stepping over to help her as crowds looked on with wonder and minor disturbance.
"I… I think…" Tohru asked as her eyes were in an 'X' formation, recovering from her recent experiences as stars danced around her head.
"Is she going to be alright for the trip?" Kyo asked questionably as he lifted Tohru's luggage over his shoulder.
"I think she is just slightly nervous…" Uo stated as she looked down at Tohru, her dirty blonde hair hanging down over her shoulders and face.
As Tohru sat down with an ice pack on her head (conveniently supplied by Shigure) Hana, Uo, Kyo, Yuki, Haru, and Momiji were wandering around the airport a little, waiting for their plane to arrive, as it was delayed for about a half an hour.
"So how long are we going to be on this thing?" Kyo asked, looking at his ticket as he walked along with the others, keeping the furthest away from Yuki.
"Aya said that it'd be most of the summer!" Momiji replied blissfully, as Kyo's hopes dropped, knowing that he'd be with Yuki and Shigure and Ayame and Ritsu, and all the fanatical zodiac members for a whole summer.
"Hey, don't look so down orange top!" Uo said with vigor, smacking her hand on Kyo's back. "We'll have tons of fun!"
"Oh yeah, my idea of fun is hanging with a yankee and a psychic!" Kyo yelled back.
"Hey, don't deny you enjoy our company!" Uo yelled back, jabbing her finger at Kyo. "Besides, why'd you come on this trip if you really didn't want to?"
"I was forced into it!" Kyo irritably yelled.
"Yeah, somehow I don't think I'm getting the whole story." Uo said with a smile. "It is because of Tohru, huh!"
"Hell no it wasn't because of her!" Kyo yelled frantically. Kyo and Uo continued their fight as the others continued on, not wanting to get knotted in the mess.
"Those two sure do like to fight a lot, don't they?" Haru asked, walking on.
"They have distinctively matching energy signals when they fight." Hana said dismally, walking along as well.
"Hey you guys!" Momiji said cheerfully, "why don't we go get some little snacks for the plane trip! We don't want to have that bland airplane food! Come on!" With that, Momiji walked over to a little food stall that was open.
"Sounds good to me." Haru said patiently, walking over as well. Yuki began following, but turned around at the sight (or rather, absence) of a classmate.
"Ms. Hanajima, are you coming?" he asked, as he turned around and saw Hana in a sort of daze. She slowly turned her heads towards him.
"Yes." And with that, she walked past Yuki and joined Momiji and Haru at the food stall.
"Why would you sell potatoes are a airport food stall for a plane trip?" Haru asked peculiarly, noticing the potatoes for sell.
"Ewwww, I don't like potatoes!" Momiji laughed, disregarding them.
"I like potatoes… they make French fries…" Hana spoke silently behind them. Yuki, Haru, and Momiji looked at her strangely, finding the remark a bolt out of the blue. "What?"
Back at where Uo and Kyo were previously fighting, they seemed to have tired out, and were now looking for the others once more.
"Damn, they just left us!" Uo declared, looking around for them.
"If anything, we probably want to head back to Shigure and the others, so that we don't miss the flight." Kyo said, hiding his temper in his voice.
"KYYYYYOOOOO!" a piercing yell was heard. Kyo instantly perked up and turned around in terror, and Uo did the same in interest. Kagura was speeding at Kyo faster then a cheetah chasing its prey.
"Gah! Kagura!" Kyo said, trying to run away, but before he could take two steps, he was wrapped in the arms of Kagura.
"Its been so long since you called me Kyo! But that is okay, because we'll be on this entire vacation together! Aren't you excited!" Kagura spoke, before swinging Kyo around in circles, much to his dismay.
"Who the hell…?" Uo asked herself from the sidelines.
Back at the waiting area, Tohru was feeling better after her spill, and was sitting with Kisa and Hiro.
"Isn't this exciting you guys? I've never been to a summer beach house, and even in Southern Japan! I'm so excited!" Tohru said happily, holding onto her bag.
"You mean you've never been around to other towns and cities? And you've never been to a summer beach house? What is wrong with you, I thought it was pretty universal that everyone did that!" Hiro exclaimed from his seat next to Kisa.
"Well… it was really because mom could never afford it. We never had the luxury of being able to see the world, although it was a dream of hers. …And mine, I suppose. I guess… that is why I'm so excited to be able to go on this trip! I get to see a new part of the world totally unknown to me!" Tohru said cheerfully.
"That's so nice Sissy!" Kisa said, sitting next to Tohru.
"Yeah… and what makes it even more fun is that I get to experience the trip with all my friends… my new family. That is what will make it a truly wonderful trip!" Tohru finished. "I suppose… I'm living out the dream both me and mom wanted. To see the world…"
"Tohru…" a deep voice said, that snapped Tohru at of her thoughts. Tohru looked up and saw Hatori, not wearing his typical doctor's coat, but a black collared, long-sleeve shirt with a red tie.
"Oh, hello Hatori!" Tohru said with a smile.
"It didn't seem like you heard the announcement, the plane is boarding now. We should go." Hatori said, grabbing Tohru's luggage that was beside her feet, and walking to where Ayame, Shigure, and Ritsu were waiting in line.
"Oh, come on you two!" Tohru said, turning to Kisa and Hiro. "We don't want to miss the flight!"
"Yeah, we know stupid girl! I can hear…" Hiro said, as he followed Kisa and Tohru to the line.
"L-O-V-E! We love YUKI! YUKI! YUKI! La la la la la la la la la la la la la YUKI!"
"All right girls!" came the voice of Motoko Minagawa, as she addressed her three friends. They were already aboard the plane, waiting for takeoff. "This summer, we shall create a full proof plan that will rid us of that witch, Tohru Honda, and leave Yuki all ours!" At this point she pulled out her video camera. "And I, President of the Yuki Fan Club, Motoko Minagawa, shall prevail at this plan."
"But we still need to get rid of that yankee and the she-devil first!" came Minami.
"Don't worry, that will be part of the plan!" Motoko said. "Now, roll call! Vice President of this project: Minami Kinoshita!"
"Right!"
"Member Number 1 of this project: Mio Yamagishi!"
"Right!"
"And Member Number 2 of this project: Mai Gotou, also known as Number Two!"
"Right!"
"We shall prevail next school year at winning over Yuki's heart! Failure is not an option! We—"
"Excuse me, I appear to sit in the fifth seat of this row…" came a girl's voice. Motoko, whose speech was cut short, turned around to see who their unsolicited guest was. Standing eye-to-eye with Motoko was Saki Hanajima.
"Well… it appears we sit next to each other on the trip…" Hana said tranquilly, taking her seat next to Motoko. The four Yuki Fan Club Girls (who sat next to a window, so had to other aisles to escape into) nearly fainted at the sight of her.
"But… but, what are you doing on this plane Hanajima!" Minami asked vehemently. Hana slowly turned to them (freaking them out, of course.)
"I'm going to Southern Japan for a summer vacation… I assume you are doing the same?" Hana spoke monotonously.
"Oh great, of all the people you have to sit next to Hana! Looks like I sit in front of them!" Uo said, as she saw Motoko and the others.
"You're here too!" Number Two asked with alarm.
"So is Tohru…" Hana said peacefully from beside them, eating a chip she had retrieved from her bag.
The Fan Club girls suddenly found themselves surrounded by Hana, Uo, and Tohru, and what made matters worse, was Yuki was place next to Tohru.
"Looks like our plan will have to be postponed until the she-devil is away from us…" Motoko whispered to the other three girls.
"You know…" came Hana from beside them, "I can hear everything you're" BEEEEEEEEP "saying…"
"NO! Not the voices again!" Minami yelled.
And, with that, the plane took off from the airport, flying high into the sky, heading directly for Southern Japan.
I hope you enjoyed! I now, Ritsu (for you fans of Ritsu that read this… if there are any that is…) still needs to make an appearance, I'll get on that. Chapter 3 will be up (hopefully) this coming weekend, so watch out for it! Review to your content and flames will be ignored (or laughed at, either one.) -Anters-
