DISCLAMER: I do not own "Yu Yu Hakusho," the movie called "The Parent Trap" or anything else I may mention in this fic. I do however, own a couple original characters. These original characters are NOT reincarnated versions of me, and they are also NOT Mary-Sue fangirls who chase Kurama and Hiei around. Have I made myself clear? Good.
A/N: Hello everyone! Thanks so much for reviewing my last chapter! You have no idea how much your reviews mean to me! There's not much to say now...I just hope you enjoy this next chapter.
IMPORTANT: Before reading this chapter, there's one thing I have to say: I have absolutely nothing against vegetarians or vegans. If you're wondering why I'm saying this, you'll just have to read this chappie to find out! Happy reading!
"Are We Related?"
Chapter 4: Time To Go--Part 1
Tomorrow was going to be a big day. Ayame had been busy packing for the two week trip, and it was starting to get late. After she had packed all her things, she laid out her bags and suitcases on the floor of her room so all she would have to do the next morning was put them in the limo that her and Sakyo will be riding in.
She had her outfit that she was gonna where on the airplane laid out on a chair by her bed. Her outfit consisted of a strapless pink sundress and her shoes were black leather heals. She had checked over all her bags once more and found that everything was packed that she wanted to take. She thought she better go to bed soon since the next day was going to be a big day. She changed into her pj's, which was basically a black tank top and boxers. She was going to go and say goodnight to Sakyo, but before she reached her bedroom door, she heard a knock.
"Come in." She knew it was her father.
Sakyo entered the room and sat next to Ayame on her bed. "Are you ready for tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I guess. I have all my things packed."
Sakyo looked and saw four nicely packed suitcases. "Why do you need all of these bags? Don't you think you over packed a bit?"
"I didn't over pack." Ayame started telling her father what was in all those bags. "The bigger suitcase has my clothes, another one has shoes, and another has make-up and other things I need, and the last one has accessories in it. Oh, and I left some room for souvenirs!"
Suddenly, Ayame was having some doubts. "Dad, I'm kind of scared...I've never been away from home this long before, at least not by myself. I mean, I'm gonna be staying with people I don't even know in a different country. I'll be hundreds of miles away from here."
Sakyo put a comforting arm around his daughter. "Don't worry...if anyone tries to do anything to you, they will never see the light of day again."
"Dad, you always say that." Ayame gave a small chuckle. "Well, I guess you're right about saying there isn't anything to worry about. Well, I think I better get some sleep. I have to get up early."
I'll see you in the morning then...goodnight."
"Goodnight Daddy!" Before leaving the room, Sakyo gave Ayame a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
MORNING
Ayame woke up as soon as her alarm went off. She was so excited that she jumped out of her bed and headed straight to her bathroom to freshen up and take a shower. As soon as she was done with her shower, she dried off, got dressed, fixed her hair into a pony-tail, and put on some makeup.
When she was dressed and ready, she headed down-stairs to eat breakfast. While she and Sakyo were eating, one of the maids and the butler started putting Ayame's things into the limo. As soon as they were done eating, Ayame grabbed her purse, and said her good-byes to the maids and the butler. She had known them since she was a child and so they were almost like family to her. She was going to miss everyone. After saying good-bye to everybody, her and Sakyo headed out to the limo, and they were off to the airport.
The trip to the airport didn't take too long. As soon as they got there, the driver parked the limo and helped unload and carry Ayame's things into the airport. The line for getting boarding passes and checking in bags wasn't too long and they were able to get through in about ten minutes. Ayame checked in all four bags, but left out her laptop computer and purse so she can take those as carry-ons.
They got through the security lines and after that they quickly found the gate where the plane would be boarding in about fifteen minutes. Sakyo waited with Ayame at the gate.
Fifteen minutes later, a flight attendant on the loud speaker at the gate announced that it was time to start boarding. "Well, I gotta go...I'll see you in two weeks," Ayame said before giving her father a huge hug. "Ayame, as soon as you get to the home you'll be staying at, give me a call. I don't care about the time difference, just call so I know you got there okay."
"Okay Daddy. Well, I better get going...I love you!"
"I love you, too. Bye."
"Bye Dad." Ayame picked up her purse and the case containing her laptop, and then boarded the plane. When she got on the plane, she found her seat and put her computer in the stow-away cabinet. She was glad she got a window seat.
As soon as it was time for the plane to go, the flight attendants went over all the pre-flight stuff and the plane was off. As soon as Sakyo saw the plane leave the runway, he went back to his limo and went home. On the plane, Ayame was sitting next to a little girl and her mother. Ayame was enjoying the view out the window from the plane. Part way through the flight, Ayame asked the little girl if she wanted to trade seats so she can have a chance to look out the window, too. (A/N: Remember everyone, Ayame likes kids! I do too!)
EVENING
The plane had finally landed in San Francisco, California. Ayame was happy and she had butterflies in her stomach. 'I hope these people are nice.' she thought. Ayame slept through part of the flight and also watched the in-flight movie, "Finding Nemo." There were also a couple meals on the flight, too.
As soon as Ayame got off the plane, she was looking around for the family she was staying with. As soon as she saw three people with a sign that had her name written on it, she immediately walked over to them. "Hi, you must be the Brown family. My name is Ayame." A woman with blonde hair replied, "It is very nice to meet you Ayame, and welcome. We look forward to having you over for the next couple weeks."
"Thank you." 'They look like nice people,' Ayame thought to herself.
The tall blonde-haired woman started speaking again, "My name is Cassy," she then started introducing the other two members of the family. "and this is my husband Vincent, and our son Dennis."
"It's nice to meet all of you. Where's the other girl who's supposed to be here?"
"Her name is Shina and her plane arrives tomorrow," replied Cassy. Well, we should go and get your bags and head off to our place.
"Sounds good."
As soon as they got Ayame's bags, they went out to the van and loaded the bags in there. When they were done, they headed off the Brown residence. When they arrived, Cassy showed Ayame the guest room with two twin beds where her and Shina will be staying. For now, everyone just put Ayame's things on one of the beds and let her decide what she wanted to do with them. "Well, Ayame, we think you should know some of the rules we have at this house since you will be staying here for the next two weeks."
Ayame started listening and Cassy continued. "Okay, now with the rules...we do NOT use profanity in this house. Next, the three of us in this family are vegans, which means we avoid all animal products and we definitely do not eat meat. However, since you are a guest in our house-and I can see that you're wearing leather shoes-we will make an exception for you." Ayame's mind was going nuts. 'Is it even possible to avoid ALL animal products,' Ayame thought. Her thoughts were interrupted once again when Cassy finished discussing the house rules. "The last rule is no wearing any clothes that show your midriff or too much cleavage."
"Okay...I'll try my best not to say 'shit,' 'fuck' or 'damn' while I'm here.," Ayame said with a small grin. Cassy just gave her a disgusted look. "Well, Cassie, my dad wanted me to call him as soon as I got here so I'm going to do that right now."
"Do you need to use the phone?
"Oh, no...I have my cell. I'll just use that. Thanks for the offer, though.
"You're welcome...I really do hope you enjoy your stay."
"Thanks." Cassy left the room and Ayame made her phone call to Sakyo to tell him that she safely made it to her destination.
A/N: How are Ayame and Shina going to survive being in a place where profanity and low-rise jeans and animal products are not allowed? How did you like the end where Ayame was saying how she'll try her best to follow the rules? I thought that was pretty funny! Well, it's about 2:15 a.m. here, and I have to work tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get the next chapter out soon! Please R&R:)
