Turbulence!

L sat staring blankly at the screens around him. He had requested that the phone call to him which had been broadcasted to the majority of the task force, be kept to themselves, which, after more explaining, they understood not to tell Misa, Light and Souchiro.
"Are you sure this is necessary, Ryuzaki?"
L glanced to his Kira suspect and then down at the chain links which connected him to Light. 'There are hundreds of people whom I can think of, which I'd prefer to be chained to.' He pushed the thought to the back of his mind, "This is as difficult for me as it is for you."
"So is this what you meant by being together 24 hours a day with him?
Looking at you, I never would have guessed. Are you on that side of the fence, Ryuzaki?"
'...one of those conformists thoughts. If you are into something...'different' you must be on the 'right' side of the fence...' He stared blankly at Misa, "I told you I'm not doing this because I want to. Okay?" He momentarily let his mind drift off to his 'boys' as he wondered over how their trip to Kagome's was going.

(Flight 120B)
Matt watched the scenery of clouds outside the window of the plane that he and his brothers sat in. He pulled out his game a while ago but with the older man in front of him getting fidgety because of the 'bleep bop' noises his Mario character was providing, he'd had to either, turn it down, or turn it off. He saved it and closed it irritably as he put it in his pocket again. Mello was reading The Antitrust Paradox, by Robert H. Bork, while Near was sitting with a knee pulled to his chest a nervous look on his face that was somewhat surprising to see.
A sudden movement pulled Mello and Matt's attention towards Near when his arm jerked forward suddenly as a cart knocked him in the elbow, causing him to close his eyes while silently dealing with the obvious pain a funny bone caused.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" The attendant was a blonde, nothing in looks like the one at the airport who'd had black hair and vibrant blue eyes. Her outfit, also unlike the other attendants, was too small to fit her professionally. She pat Near on the head, which he clearly didn't like, and crouched down, her hand still on his head, "Are you okay?"
He opened his eyes and looked blandly at her, "...fine."
"Are you sure?" She still continued to mess with his hair.
A hand griped her wrist and she turned to see Mello glaring down at her from where he now stood in front of his own seat. Matt was watching curiously. "Get your hands off of him; he doesn't like being touched by contaminated things."
She looked quite affronted by his comment and made to say something when a hand was placed on her shoulder. She turned and saw her coworker standing beside her.
"Madeline, please take care of the other side, I received instructions to take care of the brothers, Matt, Mello and Near from their father earlier in the day."
Madeline, the blonde, snatched her wrist out of Mello's grip before standing straight and walking off.
The woman still standing there, smiled and crouched down in front of Near, "My name is Kikyou, until we arrive at your destination, please count on me to get you anything you may need. As for your arm, logic would dictate you take the middle seat since your friend here is reading and keeps his arms inside the seat. Don't you agree, Mello?"
Mello nodded, switching seats with Near as the boys took in the attendants looks. It was the same one from the airport. Her badge, did indeed read, Kikyou. "Did our dad talk with you in person?"
"Mm..." She shook her head, "Over the phone. He apologized for the short notice, but said that he wanted to make sure that you were each cared for in your own unique ways. Oh," She pulled out a small blue car from her side pocket and held it out to Near, "I hope your arm feels better dear." She stood, and with a soft smile, she left the boys to their own thoughts.

(Task Force)
L glared at the phone. After telling Misa who her Manager would be, and then dealing with the drama of being chained to Light, and her assumptions of his 'preference', he'd taken a step out of the room, letting the chain touch the ground as he shut the door over it and tried calling 'Midoriko'. She wasn't answering however, which wasn't too surprising. She didn't normally stick with a phone number for longer than necessary, but he didn't have the time to go searching for it with Light by his side now, twenty-four-seven.
He'd rather be chained to Matsuda, if he was to be perfectly honest, but the boy first off, wasn't Kira, and secondly, while he wasn't as observant as Light he was a gossip. Not a good trait for a detective. Sadly, he knew better than to delusion himself with choice suspects, and personally, he enjoyed a good chase. If it was easy, well...he wouldn't be needed, would he.
"Ryuuzaki?! Can Light and I go on a date?"
Closing his eyes, he sighed, 'The Kira case is starting to become more effort than I'd like to admit.'

(Flight 120B)
Mello, who had been reading before, was now staring at the attendant with critical eyes taking in her every action. She was helping out an older woman right now with something she wanted from her luggage, but her old age made it difficult for the elder to keep getting up and down for things. Earlier, tucking in a little girl lying asleep on her father's shoulder, the father was also asleep. Both wrapped up warmly in a blanket. Then there was the infant crying a while ago, screaming till its face was red, all she did was rub the baby's hand gently in hers, and it stopped crying and smiled at her. He'd never seen anything like her before.
"Mello has been staring at her for a while."
Mello glanced at Near who was rolling the car along the fold out tray in front of him in content. "Yeah, so what?"
"Nothing, just wondering why. Do you find her to be suspicious?"
"No...not that it's any of your damn business."
"...still, I am curious."
"So the fuck what!" Mello glared at the woman who turned to face them from in front of them and she quickly faced back to the front.
"Act like brothers until we arrive, Mello. Then, you can beat up Near. Besides, you were doing so good being nice to him earlier. You stopped someone from harassing him, and even made sure to insult the woman too...you acted much like a protective older brother."
Mello turned his fierce glare on to Matt who just laughed.
"Don't give me that look, Mel. I'm not scared of you."
"Keh, whatever." Mello relaxed back against the chair and made to close his eyes when he felt the plane tremble a bit. "Ah...~! What the hell!"
"I do believe this...is turbulence..."
Mello would have shouted at Near to shut up, if not for the fact that Near was sitting with his head in his lap and his ands lying protectively over his head. The smaller boy was shaking fearfully as he tried to calm his breathing, but to no avail; Near looked to Matt who was tightening his seatbelt a bit, pulling out his game with the hopes of blocking out the shakings and quivering plane.
Placing a hand on Nears, he ignored the look of surprise that Near gave him as he held it in an attempt to comfort the boy. Knowing well enough the Near didn't like when people violated his personal bubble and touched him without permission, Mello had no problem breaking through the boys force fields and placing his own tainted hands on the Albino's pure flesh. As twisted as it sounded, Mello was intrigued by the expressions of fear which had settled across Nears face. The scared and uneasy emotions filtering the younger ones eyes was something Mello never saw, and something he wanted to see again...again and again...
"Mello can be nice when he wants to be."
Mello squeezed Nears hand and smirked when he saw the younger wince a little, "Don't get used to it."
-x-x-x-
It was thirty minutes later, the plane was beginning it's decent, and Mello had long since released Nears hand since the turbulence had died down. "We should be arriving within the next five minutes, but it will be about fifteen minutes until we pull into the dock for unload."
Near glanced to his left and nodded, "Thank you, Mrs. Kikyou."
"Miss...I'm not married, little one." She smiled sweetly and left the three to their own devices as the plane came in for docking.
It took a few minutes before the passengers were departing the plane, all with their bags in hand. Mello held Nears and his while Matt had his own in hand. The three were off the plane looking for a sign held up with Midoriko written neatly across it. They found it, and it was their surprise to find Kikyou holding it in one hand with a smile and a new wardrobe on. This would be the third outfit they saw her in as they walked over to her curiously.
"Shall we?"
The three boys exchanged looks of wonder before following her outside to a limo; a crowd had started to form around it as they waited to see which famous person was to be getting in. The crowd was quick to leave when they realized it wasn't anyone they knew or thought they might know. A man bowed his head to the boys and opened the door for the trio which was ushered in by Kikyou.
"Miss. Kikyou, may I inquire, as to why we had to come all the way out to Holland...to meet...Mrs. Midoriko?"
Kikyou smiled and glanced inside at the boys, "Miss...she isn't married." She said before closing the door and walking to the driver. "See to it that they make it there safely. I have some things to attend to before I myself will arrive. I am so curious of what they will say upon their arrival, but...I guess I can hear about it from you later, huh, Hoshi?"
The man chuckled, "I do love to gossip, I will see you there." He ducked inside the limo and shut his door before driving away through the parting crowd.
