Taiy-Chan: You guys are so lucky that I was bored today! Now you get a quick update!

So, Taiy is finally making his way over to Russia, what kinds of trials await them? There are only five chapters left, so this story is coming to a close.

And so, in this chapter, our heroes are travelling from one country to the next. What will happen on the way, you ask? Just read and find out!

P.S. A few people pointed out that you can't possibly be on a plane for 21 hours, so, just pretend that you can, okay? This IS the future, right? Am I right? Good. Lol.

Chapter 15

Worrying

"Are we there yet?"

"Tala?"

"Yeah?"

"Are we moving?"

"Um… No."

"That is correct."

"But that still doesn't answer my question, Kai. Geeze, aren't you supposed to be the smart one? Aren't you supposed to have all the answers? Oh my God, who would've thought? The great, almighty Kai Hiwatari can't even answer a simple quest-"

"TALA!"

"What? You interrupted me you rude little-"

"What time is it?"

"Uh… 10:27 am."

"Very good. Now, what time is our plane scheduled to take off?"

"Umm... 10:30?"

"Correct. So, for the last time: NO! WE'RE NOT THERE YET!"

"Sheesh, no need to get your dick in a twist."

"Tala?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up."

Taiy sighed and glanced out the plane's window, shifting in his seat, trying to get comfortable. Tyson and Max were sitting in front of him, laughing and jumping around. Hilary snapped at them, telling them to be quiet while Kenny silently agreed with her. Taiy sighed and rolled his eyes. This was going to be a long flight.

Taiy stretched his legs out in front of him, sinking into the plane's plush seat.

"The only difference between Economy Class and First Class is the leg room."

"You got that right."

"If we travelled Economy Class, I think I would kill myself."

"Please don't, Kai. Cause then me and Tala would be dead too."

"It wouldn't be a huge loss."

"WHAT!"

"HEY!"

"Anyways, moving on…. The plane should be taking off soon."

"Hey, just out of curiosity, how long does it take to get to Moscow from Toronto anyways?"

"A really long time?"

"Well, I knew that much."

"Just making sure."

"So, Kai, oh-mighty-know-it-all, how long will we be stuck on this God forsaken plane?"

"There's a screen up there that shows how long the flight is and can actually show where we are on a map. From what is says… This is going to be a twenty hour flight."

"One word: Fuck."

"You've got that right."

"Oh God. This must be the longest flight we've ever been on."

"I agree."

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen!" A voice said over the speakers.

Taiy looked up.

"My name is Ian Beere," the voice continued. "And I am your captain for this flight. It will be a twenty-one hour trip from Toronto, Canada to Moscow, Russia-"

"Ha! You were wrong Kai! It's a twenty-one hour flight!"

"I was rounding it, Tala."

"That's what they all say."

"And plus, that just means that we're going to be flying one extra hour."

"SHIT!"

"We will now be taking off." The pilot announced. "Please put your seat-belts on. I hope you have a good flight. Flight Attendants, please get ready for take off."

The speaker clicked off and the plane slowly started to move towards the run-way. Tyson pressed his face on the plastic window.

"Oo! I love this part! Taking off is so much fun!" He cried.

Taiy rolled his eyes heavenward groaning silently.

"Tyson!" Hilary snapped. "Shut up and put your seatbelt on!"

"You go girl!"

Tyson did as she said, grumbling to himself.

Taiy sighed and settled in his seat, leaning his elbow on the chair's arm rest. In twenty-one hours, they would be in Russia. He fought to keep the cold dread the seeped in him at bay, but it was a pointless attempt.

"Let's just deal with it when we get there, okay?"

"Easier said than done, Ray."

"I know, I know. But what else was I supposed to say?"

"True."

"Damn, I hope nothing bad happens the first day, cause I dunno if I'll be up for it. Plane flights make me feel really tired and slow."

"I know how you fee and plus, we could do with a little break, right?"

"Damn straight."

"Tala, you don't know anything about the word straight."

"Hey! I resent that!"

"Oh my God! That reminds me! Tala, we're gonna get to see the Demo Boys once we get to Russia! Aren't you happy?"

"Well, yeah…"

"Tala and Bryan sitting in a tree: K-I-S-S-I-N-G."

"That's childish, Kai."

"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage! Wait… two boys can't have babies. I take that last part back. Mind you, you are pretty feminine, Tala, maybe you can get pregnant!"

"SHUT UP YOU IDIOT! Maybe I'll just start singing about you and Ray!"

"That's kinda gross, no offence, Kai. But, like, isn't that like loving yourself, since we're in the same body?"

"I feel the same."

"You guys are all against me."

Taiy closed his eyes, trying to block out the loud voices coming from his friends, but he didn't feel the least bit tired. In fact, he felt exactly the opposite, wide awake and restless. The dark haired boy sighed in frustration.

"Don't we have sleeping pills or something?"

"Yeah, I think so. It's in our bag."

"Good, I say we take some now."

"We're not going to sleep through the whole flight."

"Oh yes we are. Hey Ray?"

"Yeah?"

"Can't neko-jins sleep for a long time?"

"If they wanted to, I guess. But I don't think-"

"If we took the sleeping pill, do you think we'd be able to sleep for twenty—oh sorry, I mean, twenty-one hours?"

"Well, yeah, maybe even more. Neko-jins have a great tolerance for medicine or drugs, but if we willingly submit to one, then it takes great effect."

"Perfect."

"I'll have to take over the body in order for it to work."

"Meh, that doesn't matter."

"But, if we DO sleep through this whole flight, that's twenty-one hours without sleep."

"Who cares? We'll just go pee when we wake up!"

Once the plane was safely in the air and the seat-belt sign went off, Taiy got out of his seat. Reaching for the above compartments, he grabbed his bag, setting it down on his chair and rummaging through it. Finding what he was looking for, he smiled, putting his things back and closing the compartment.

Sitting back down, Taiy waved to his friends.

"See ya when we land!" he called, grinning triumphantly from ear to ear.

His team just stared at him.

Ignoring them, Taiy popped the sleeping pills in his mouth, leaning back in the seat and getting comfortable. He closed his eyes.

"Do your thing, Ray!"

"I have a feeling I'll regret this…"

If Taiy had opened his eyes again, they would've been a deep golden as the red streaks in his otherwise pitch black hair faded. Taiy let out a deep breath, relaxing his shoulders as sleep slowly claimed him.

"Nighty-night you guys."

"Night 'Tal, night Kai."

"I didn't even get a say in this!"

"Too late."

"Fine, whatever."

"When we wake up, we're gonna be in Russia!"

"…Joy."

Taiy's mind quieted and faded into the world of dreams.

"That's really cheesy, you know? 'Andfaded into the world of dreams'? Who thought that one?"

"TALA!"

"Okay, okay, shutting up now."

And his world went blank.

Slowly, he became aware of his surroundings; the noises of the people around him, the smell of old food and plastic and the feel of the soft seat under him.

There was only one thing on Taiy's mind as he opened his bleary, ice blue eyes.

"Gotta. Go. Pee!"

"I don't want to say I told you so… But… I told you so."

"Fuck. I feel as if my bladder is going to explode."

"OUR bladder, you mean. Oh, and the feeling's mutual."

"Damn, what time is it?"

"… 9:30am… of the next day. Judging by the announcement that was just made, we're about to land..."

"Oh. My. God. We actually slept for twenty-one whole hours. I think it's a record."

"Can we go to the bathroom?"

"We have to wait until we land."

"Will we be able to last that long? Cause, like, I really gotta go pee... I mean, we do."

"I sure hope so. I have a reputation to live up to, you know."

The plane touched the ground smoothly, gliding into its parking space and slowing down to a halt.

"Please don't get up until the plane comes to a compete stop." The flight attendant said.

When the plane came to a halt, Taiy jumped out of his seat. He grabbed his bag from the overhead compartment and tried not to look desperate.

As the Bladebreakers left the plane, Taiy fought the urge just to go pee right there in the middle of the hallway. Luckily, once they got into the airport, there was a bathroom near them. Taiy suppressed a whoop of joy and shoved his bag into Kenny's hands, running off to relieve himself.

"W-what? Taiy!" Kenny called after his retreating back. "Where are you going?"

"I gotta go drain my main vain!" Taiy shouted over his shoulder, saluting the small boy.

Kenny stared blankly after him.

Taiy sighed with relief as he exited the men's washroom, stretching. Thank God for bathrooms. He made it just in time, another second and he would've peed his pants. He met up with his team in the lobby, retrieving his bag from Kenny and heading out into the cold Russian weather, snowflakes catching in his hair.

"Wasn't it summer in Canada?"

"I think… Uh, I'm not sure, maybe spring or fall."

"Then why is it snowing in Russia?"

"Because, Tala, Russia is a cold country."

"Oh, that would explain it."

"Uhh.. Tala? Aren't YOU from Russia?"

"Eh? Oh! Right! Damn! My bad, my bad."

"You mean..."

"You FORGOT where you grew up?"

"Give me a break here! I'm tired!"

"Geeze, Tala. I knew you were a bit screwed up in the brain, but... wow.."

"Shut up!"

The Bladebreakers hopped into the limo waiting for them and headed over to their hotel, all looking forward to a nice, warm bed, not caring that they just slept for the last twenty hours.

And they did just that. It wasn't until 3:00pm that Taiy finally got out of his huge bed, missing the feel of the thick covers bunched around him already. Changing into fresh clothes, he pulled on a thick, black sweater, crossing his arms and holding it tight around him; his room was pretty cold.

It seemed as if everyone else was asleep, so he wrote them a note, saying that he had gone out for a walk and would be back soon. Grabbing his shoes, Taiy headed for the door, snatching his thick, winter coat from its hook on the way out.

Cold air hit his face as he stepped out onto the busy, Russian streets. People rushed by him, all in a hurry to get out of the cold. Taiy walked down the streets, enjoying the cold, fresh air. He walked without really having a destination, just following where his feet took him, not caring where he was or how far he was going, he knew his way around here anyways.

No one paid any heed to him, all caught up in their own lives. Not even the many fan girls bustling down the sidewalks in packs gave him a second glance. Not that he cared anyways.

Soon, there were less people walking by him and the noise of the traffic was just a distant echo. Taiy stopped walking and looked up, glancing around his new surroundings. His ice blue eyes, as cold as the air around him, landed on the dark building on his right, its spiked gates standing tall before him and he froze.

It was an old building, majestic in its own, strange way. Taiy stared at its tall roofs and pointed columns. The dark walls were worn and the gates were littered with rust.

He whispered one word…

"Biovolt…"

And the memories came flooding back.

Taiy-Chan: Whoa, that was a pretty long chapter! You guys are damn lucky I was bored these last two days, or else this chapter wouldn't of been up for at least another two weeks!

I'm planning this to have around 20 chapters plus an epilogue, so yes; it is coming to and end, sadly. But, I am going to write a bonus Christmas side-fic to this story that will be posted on Christmas day, so look out for that. But, before I do that, I have to introduce the Demo Boys again… OR maybe not... we'll see.

So, reward me and give me lotsa reviews! I wanna reach that 300 mark before this is over!

Adios Amigos!

P.S. Thanks to the two reviewers that pointed out that Tala's from Russia... Yeah, I already knew that but it slipped my mind.

Tala: Mine too.

Taiy-Chan: Yup yup. So, I fixed it... I hope...
