Chapter 5: The Plane Trip
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha.
A/N: Ok, so here's the fifth chapter. Sorry about the delay…so anyways, enjoy the chapter, and don't forget to review!
"Kagome, wake up!" the 'dulcet' tones of Kagome's brother's ears bore into Kagome's head. Groaning, the high-school girl wearily raised her head and rubbed her eyes. "It's time for your plane trip to Hawaii, and I get the computer all to myself for a month! Yay!"
"Yeah Sota, whatever. What time is it?" Kagome asked. She hoped that it wasn't 9:00 yet. When Kagome turned to look at her brother, however, he had a guilty expression on his face.
"It's ten o'clock, Kagome," Sota barely raised his voice above a whisper as he said the words.
"WHAT! That means that I'll have missed the whole flight already!" Kagome screamed. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" But then again, her brother had always been a good actor, so Kagome grabbed the clock just to be sure. It said 8:00am.
Trying to be oblivious to the peals of laughter her sibling gave out, Kagome put the clock back on her night-table. Shoving Sota out the door, Kagome quickly got dressed and hurried down the stairs where her mother sat down, sipping a cup of coffee.
"Morning, honey, take whatever you want for breakfast," Mrs. Higurashi smiled at her grumpy daughter, who took her seat at the table and grabbed some toast. "Today's the day you're going to Hawaii, and I hope you have fun!"
Geez, she makes things sound as if I'm already going now, Kagome thought unhappily. Was her mother actually willing to be separated from her own daughter for a month?
After a big breakfast, a lot of messing around from her brother and some fussing from her mother and grandfather, Kagome was ready to go. She wore a cap on her head (it was a rather sunny day), a black t-shirt and a pair of her favourite denim jeans. In her hand was a big luggage bag and some lunch, for she could not bear airline food, even if the airline was Continental Airlines or Cathay Pacific.
"I'm going to miss you so much!" Mrs. Higurashi embraced Kagome, her voice full of emotion. After a hasty goodbye, Kagome rode away in the limo InuYasha's father had sent (it had come just as Kagome was saying goodbye to her family) towards the airport.
With Kikyo
Kagome was gone, and Kikyo knew it. Sango and she were going to Hawaii on the same flight, because Miroku and Koga did not want to go to Hawaii and monitor on InuYasha's and Kagome's feelings for each other. Checking herself once more in the mirror, Kikyo grabbed her luggage and left in a taxi for the airport.
With InuYasha
What's taking that wench so long? InuYasha wondered in irritation as he paced up and down the entrance of the airport, pushing several girls out of his way. Not that they cared; they were too busy giggling at how cute he was. Looking up, InuYasha finally saw a black limo driving closer. Kagome was inside.
"Hello wench," InuYasha couldn't help sneering quietly as he helped his soon-to-be-acquaintance out of the limo.
"Hello, dog-boy," Kagome couldn't help thinking that the acrobat looked rather like a dog to her. He was wearing his usual cap, therefore hiding the top of his head. What were those white things underneath?
"Hmph, you're in no position to say such things, because I'M the famous star acrobat of the 'Jewel of Four Souls' circus," InuYasha announced proudly and rather loudly, making a few girls giggle.
"As if I care," Kagome rolled her eyes. She really had to teach the mutt some etiquette. "You should learn on how to treat a girl, you know," the high-school girl added, hoping that the acrobat would get her current impression of him.
"I don't care about how to treat a girl! I'm not going to get married!" InuYasha retorted, and a few of his fan girls fainted with shock.
"Whatever, let's go in," Kagome feigned shock before following her guide through the automatic doors into the large airport.
When it was time to board the plane, however, InuYasha struck at Kagome.
"Boarding passes, please," the stewardess said to the duo.
"Here is mine. And you have yours?" InuYasha asked Kagome in a mocking tone.
"Of course, here is mine-hey! Where is it? I'm sure I had it when I left home!" Kagome said, a strange, red blush coming onto her cheeks. InuYasha smirked. He was a good thief.
"Madam, I'm sorry, but you can't board the plane unless you have your pass," the stewardess said. Personally she felt sorry for passengers who didn't have their boarding passes. She'd have let everyone in without having to use a boarding pass, but she'd be fined or something like that. Sighing, the stewardess waited patiently as Kagome rummaged through her handbag again.
Kagome, however, had the last laugh, as the stewardess had noticed her companion's evil smirk. "Sir, can you please check your bag for this lady's boarding pass?" the stewardess queried.
The look on InuYasha's face was a guilty one, and Kagome caught it. "Give my boarding pass back, you moron!" Kagome cried, and she extended her hand towards the startled hanyou.
"And if I don't?" InuYasha grinned broadly.
"Think of what you've done, multiply that ten times over, and that's what I'll do," Kagome glared daggers as if to emphasize.
"See ya, then," InuYasha waved and dashed off, thinking, what'll she do now?
"I will seriously kill you!" Kagome roared as she sprinted off in the direction of the escaping hanyou with amazing speed. The stewardess, after looking at them, shook her head and continued along the line. And at the end of the queue, Kikyo sighed and Sango rubbed her temples in agitation. How were they supposed to get the two together?
By the time Kagome had gotten her boarding pass back, the stewardess was just finishing off the last passenger. Dragging the half-dead hanyou over to the counter, Kagome slapped their boarding passes down and glared at the stewardess as if to say, "Say a word and die." Gulping, the stewardess nodded and led the two to their appointed seats in the first class.
As soon as the stewardess had left, Kagome lay back and closed her eyes. It had taken her an arm and a leg to catch that ever-so-nimble acrobat. She had never seen anybody run as fast as him. What could he have been doing to run so fast without using his arms to propel him forward?
The plane then took off, and Kagome savoured the sensation of the aeroplane moving upwards into the sky. That was the best thing about the plane; you didn't get that sensation every day. InuYasha, on the other hand, did not like the plane going upwards. He hated the wind whistling past his ever-so-sensitive ears. Hopefully Kagome hadn't noticed that he didn't have any human ears. Glancing over at the not-so-hot-chick, InuYasha noticed her sleeping. Part Two of his plan was about to commence.
"…and the elephant alerts his arch-nemesis of what is going to happen," InuYasha breathed into Kagome's ear before clashing two mini symbols in Kagome's ear. Unfortunately, everyone in the vicinity for five meters woke up, but they did not see who the culprit was; that is, until some high-school girl bellowed the culprit's name.
"INUYASHA, I WILL REALLY BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU!" Kagome yelled before unbuckling her seat belt and hurling herself at the acrobat. It took five stewards and stewardesses to separate the two.
"You'd better not try anything else," Kagome snarled before fastening her seat belt again and falling back asleep. InuYasha, however, didn't hear, but he knew; she'd really beaten the crap out of him. What kind of girl had fists of iron?
That was when his Heaven came. It came in the form of a stewardess.
"Sir, since you are disrupting our madam here, can you please move to the business class please? We have a seat there; it is ready for you," the stewardess smiled politely, and InuYasha scowled openly. His plan was for Kagome to move over to economy class, and not him!
"Fine," InuYasha smirked inwardly. Kagome would be SO worried when she'd find out that he'd moved. "I'd be glad to. You don't know how much this girl has been aggravating me for."
With Kikyo and Sango
"Well, we've been sitting for what seems like ages, and we still haven't got pen onto paper yet," Sango sighed, tapping the table with a pen. "I'm still out of ideas."
"Yes, same here," Kikyo breathed out loudly and stared at the blank piece of paper. "And I can guess what happened when I heard a loud noise from the first class section. Are you sure that InuYasha and Kagome are in the first-class section?"
"Of course, InuYasha himself told me," Sango reassured her peer. "Don't be such a worry-wart, my friend."
"Actually, I think that there's a perfectly good reason to be a worry-wart right now, and don't look up," Kikyo bit her lip until it bled. A stewardess was walking along the isle-followed by InuYasha.
"Get down, InuYasha's here," Kikyo hissed, and she and Sango sank down so low in their chairs that you would've thought that those were seats with two mutated lumps on them, but the stewardess was not fooled.
"Miss, there's a man disrupting others, and I was wondering if you'd switch seats with him? Please?" the stewardess asked Sango, and in InuYasha's opinion, 'lump number 1'.
"And if I say 'no'?" Sango squeaked, doing well in hiding her voice.
"Well…we'll move you anyways," the stewardess smiled weakly.
"HEY, THAT'S NO FAIR! YOU DON'T EVEN RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE'S PRIVACY!" Sango roared, suddenly whipping her head up. Realizing her fatal mistake, she gulped and stared right into the eyes of…InuYasha.
"What are YOU doing on here?" the acrobat asked, completely oblivious to the visible piece of paper Kikyo held in her clenched fist. "I thought that it was just me and wench-head in the first class going to Hawaii!"
Kikyo, quickly finding an alibi, sat back properly in her seat, gazed at InuYasha and said, "Sango and I were sent to monitor you two and help out if anything went wrong." And that wasn't a total lie.
"Well, since you all know each other, I may as well arrange four seats for you all in the economy class!" the stewardess said cheerily.
"What! Can't you arrange for a four-seater in the business or first class?" InuYasha shouted.
"I'm sorry, sir, but there aren't any other seats in the first-class section," the stewardess apologized.
Beckoning to another stewardess being followed by a confused Kagome, the first stewardess left with all four passengers for the economy class.
When both stewardesses had left, Kagome angrily said to InuYasha, "And whose fault is it for landing us all here? Nobody's but yours!"
