Flight
Damon yawned, stretching before curling himself around Mizore. She snuggled deeper into his arms just as a peep sounded. Both stopped, then slowly sat up, looking around. It sounded again, coming from the shower. Damon stood, walking over and opened the shower, shutting off the flames as he stared at the shattered egg inside and the small cartoonish chick sitting in the remains of the egg. He smiled, kneeling and lifting it out, the phoenix rubbing its head against his hand as he carried it back to the bed, setting it beside Mizore, who it also rubbed its head against affectionately, then climbed into her lap and burrowed into her legs, closing its eyes.
"Looks like it's decided you're its mother," Damon smiled.
Mizore smiled as well, gently stroking its feathers and smiling. "He's adorable."
Damon smiled and kissed her before heading back into the fire shower, burning himself clean before getting out and getting dressed. Mizore passed him the bird, already dressed, and kissed him again before heading to the door.
"I'm going to go back to my room and take a shower," Mizore smiled. "I'll meet you at the airport bus."
Damon nodded and she left. He set the bird on top of his head before pulling his shoes on and grabbing the bag he'd packed, leaving the dorms and heading to the bus stop. A little while later, all of the others had arrived, including the Headmaster and Ruby. Ruby was wearing a hostess uniform, but she threw her arms around Damon, sobbing about life not being fair and about wanting to go.
"You'll be fine," Damon said. "I'll send you back souvenirs and food."
"Promise?" Ruby asked.
"I promise," Damon said. "In the mean time, keep trying to figure out a solution."
Ruby nodded and kissed him. Damon rolled his eyes before kissing her back for a few seconds, then pulled away, slipping his hand into Mizore's as they all climbed onto the bus, Ruby joining Mizore and Damon in their seat, since Mizore had opted to sit in Damon's lap so as to make room for her. A little while later, they reached the airport and Damon and Mizore both gave Ruby a kiss goodbye before heading onto the plane with the others. Damon was about the only person not afraid of the plane, so during takeoff, he held Mizore's hand, allowing her to squeeze his painfully tight. Then, finally, they were airborne and she slowly loosened her grip as she accepted that they probably weren't going to fall out of the sky. Yet.
"What do you think, comfortable isn't it?" Fang-Fang asked as Kurumu was celebrating about having an overseas vacation. "This is our family's private jet. There's a special barrier around the exterior so that we can't be seen by humans or radar. Which means we can enter and exit any country we wish."
"This thing would make a good smuggling plane," Damon mused.
"We're not smugglers!" Fang-Fang snapped.
"No, you're mafia," Damon said. "Smugglers have more honor."
Fang-Fang was fuming, until Damon smirked.
"You're just too easy," Damon said. "Chill out, kid. I'm just joking. It's a nice jet. Now it just needs a big bed and soundproof walls."
"Stop talking about having sex around us!" Kurumu snapped.
"I was actually talking about locking you, Tsukune, and Moka into a room together to see what would happen, but I'm all for using the room with Mizore if you don't want it."
"When we're safely on the ground again, I'm going to kill you," Moka said.
"You'll have to get in line," Damon said as his mind tingled. "Fuhai Touhou now officially has dibs. He sensed me coming."
"I won't let him kill you," Mizore said.
"Don't worry," Damon said. "I'm going to try for a peaceful resolution."
"You really are different from the rest, aren't you?" Fang-Fang asked.
"Yes," Damon nodded. "Now, since we've got out own bar in here, who wants to try an Aunt Roberta?"
"I do!" Fang-Fang, Mizore, Kurumu, and Moka all said.
"I'll just stick to water," Tsukune said.
"I want sake!" Yukari said.
"Water for Yukari and vodka for Tsukune," Damon said. "Got it."
Both groaned while the others laughed, including Fang-Fang. Damon walked over to the bar with Mizore, showing her how to mix an Aunt Roberta, then letting her have the first. She coughed instantly, grimacing.
"It burns," Mizore said.
"Of course," Damon said, handing Fang-Fang his. "It's alcohol. Moka, you'll get yours when we're not inside a pressurized metal compartment thousands of feet above the ground."
Moka nodded and Damon handed Kurumu hers before making his own. Then, he handed Yukari a half-shot of sake and a bottle of water, and tossed Tsukune a bottle of water as well. Out of everyone with alcohol, only Moka, Fang-Fang, and Damon were able to drink theirs without complaining. They traveled in relative peace, at least at first. However, after about the first hour, an odd rabbit thing appeared and began to rub itself between Kurumu's breasts. She smacked it into the ground and Damon knelt, lifting it by the face.
"It's a gremlin," Damon said. "If it's here, it means to bring down our plane."
"Are you serious?" Fang-Fang asked.
"No, I'm lying," Damon said. "It's actually a mermaid, and it's here to have sex with you."
He dropped it and punted it, sending it crashing into the wall separating First Class from the rest of the jet. It pushed itself up and began to swell quickly.
"Fairy Tale, right?" Damon asked.
"That's right," the thing said. "They sent me to make sure you don't reach China."
"In that case, I'll make you a deal. If you don't kill us, I'll give you as many sweets as you can eat, and I'll let you touch Kurumu's breasts as much as you want."
"Hey!" Kurumu shrieked, covering herself.
The Gremlin grinned, only to burst into a swarm of them. They scattered instantly, beginning to eat at the walls of the plane. Damon sighed, finishing his Aunt Roberta before kicking one experimentally, the gremlin splitting into two smaller ones.
"What do we do?" Kurumu asked, just as Mizore shrieked, one of the Gremlins trying to shove itself up her skirt.
Damon snatched it by the back of its neck and lifted it, seeing the tears running down its cheeks. "Oh, you ae trying to play on the wrong guy's heart strings." He smashed it into the ground and moved to stomp on it, only for it to scramble out of the way. His foot dented the metal and he huffed in annoyance. "Little shit."
"What do we do!?" Kurumu asked again.
"Most of them will be focused on a single task, in this case, eating the ship," Damon said. "One of them will be the primary one, or the host, and will react actively."
Just then, the gremlins burst out through the roof and all scrambled out, only for Moka to follow them. A moment later, he saw her shirt pass the hole while Ling-Ling was talking about the gremlins getting into the cockpit. Then, a gremlin sailed past the hole and the ones chewing at the edge of the hole faded. Then, Moka dropped back in, still shirtless, Tsukune staring in awe. Mizore gave Moka her shirt and Moka put it on before lifting Tsukune by the face.
"We're not out of danger yet, are we Ling-Ling?" Damon asked as he felt the airplane beginning to shudder.
"No," Ling-Ling confirmed. "They damaged the controls and landing is impossible. We've got no choice but to crash."
"Fang-Fang, what are the chances you summon that flying snake?" Damon asked.
"Better than us surviving a crash," Fang-Fang said, forming his coin sword and shoring a summoning tag onto it.
Then, they all leapt out of the hole, Damon catching Mizore and extending his wings, stopping them from falling as he watched Fang-Fang's snake appear below them, catching everyone else, besides Kurumu, who had her own wings extended. Kurumu landed on the snake and they began to fly, Damon using the chance to stretch his wings and hold Mizore, enjoying the fact that she was now only wearing her black belly shirt for a top, allowing him to easily trail his hands over her exposed skin as he flew, his tail holding her securely against him. Finally, after close to ten hours, as they were passing a mountain surrounding Hong Kong, Damon landed on the snake with Mizore, retracting his wings and tail.
"Welcome to Hong Kong," Ling-Ling finally said. "We'll have people waiting for us."
They landed at a private airstrip, and sure enough, there was a black limousine waiting with several men in suits. They all got in and Moka was given a new shirt, as was Damon, allowing Mizore to put her own back on. Then, finally, they had arrived at the Huang Family's mansion. Damon stared up at it apprehensively for a long moment. He definitely didn't think he should be walking inside, being what he was. However, after a moment, he followed the others inside. He looked around as they entered the foyer, a massive room with stairs leading up to the far wall, then splitting to either side, doors lining the walls to either side on both floors, and everything was beautifully elegant marble.
"Damn Fang-Fang," Damon said. "I gotta hand it to you. I can see where the spoiled brat personality comes from."
Fang-Fang glared at him.
"Your house is beautiful," Damon said. "I'm so jealous now. It's bigger than the Fire Devil King's castle, and there's less screaming sinner souls. It could use a good helping of hellfire, though."
"You're the only one who likes a house that's on fire!" Fang-Fang said.
"What can I say?" Damon shrugged. "My kind likes it hot."
"This place is almost bigger than the school!" Kurumu said as she stared around the room in amazement.
"I wouldn't go quite that far," Damon said. "Yo, Fang-Fang, how many servants does it take to clean this place?"
"I dunno," Fang-Fang shouted. "A few. Probably only fifty or sixty."
"Only!?" Damon, Kurumu, and Mizore asked, eyes wide. "Fuck, I only have twenty, and they're all only there because they were just atheists, rather than murderers, adulterers, or some other kind of criminal."
"You've only got twenty atheists in Hell?" Tsukune asked.
"I'm not the only Fire Devil with servants, you know," Damon said. "Besides, they were very pure atheists. Instead of real punishment, all they got was stuck in a fiery pit. No torture or anything fun."
"Sounds like they got lucky," Kurumu said.
"No kidding," Damon said.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Fang-Fang said, bowing to Kurumu. "Where are my manners? Please come in! Feel free to think of this as your own home."
"Careful what you wish for, Fang-Fang," Damon grinned.
"Except you," Fang-Fang said. "You can think of it as a very rich person's hotel. You break it, you get kicked out and buy it. Then you don't go on a tour of China."
"That's fair," Damon nodded.
Fang-Fang began to walk away, twirling and whistling as he went.
"He's in such high spirits," Kurumu said.
"He's so happy it's making me sick," Yukari complained.
"That's because you all came," Ling-Ling said. "He may not always act like it, but as the heir to the Huang family, he grew up in a lonely place where everyone feared him. This is the first time..." she smiled, "the first time he's brought 'friends' to this place."
"That sounds like him," Yukari nodded.
"By friends, who were you referring to?" Kurumu asked, she and Mizore both raising an eyebrow.
"Can you just let that one slide?" Ling-Ling asked.
"Can you stop that!?" Fang-Fang asked. "I can hear you, and it's starting to depress me!"
Damon sighed, catching up to walk beside him. "Hey Fang-Fang, you got video games?"
"Yeah why," Fang-Fang asked suspiciously.
"You got Tekken: Ayashi?" Damon asked, grinning.
Fang-Fang stopped, then grinned and nodded. "That I do."
"Good, but before that," Damon stopped, looking back to Moka, who nodded that she'd also noticed. "Is there anyone else in this mansion at all? Because aside from us, I don't hear anything."
"I can't sense a single other person either," Moka confirmed.
"Now that you mention it, nobody came to greet us," Fang-Fang said, looking around. "And I definitely told them I was coming home, too."
"It's a little too quiet," Ling-Ling said. "I'll go and call someone."
"Sister," Fang-Fang said.
"It's alright," Ling-Ling said. "I won't be long. You all wait in the guest room and enjoy some tea."
"That's a bad idea," Damon said. "How many Yasha live in this house?"
"Ten," Fang-Fang said.
"We need to leave," Damon said. "You too, Ling-Ling."
"Nonsense," Ling-Ling smiled. "I'll be right back. Go on into the guest room."
And then, she left. Damon narrowed his eyes, then sighed, nodding, and they all followed Fang-Fang to the guest room.
