Night 28: The Day Before Tomorrow

"Please fasten your seatbelts, thank you. Life vests are under your seats if ever we are to encounter emergency landing." The announcement echoed all throughout the plane.

"Whoaaaa…. They can be annoying at times." Ichiru said as he heard the same tutorial over and over again since this morning. Bored, he looked out the window , with his forehead and chin leaning on the glass.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh Look at the clouds!" Ichiru cheerfully said before turning to his elder brother. I meant, twin.

"Zero? Where exactly are we going?" he asked. As he stared at the person who seemed to be busying himself with face powder, mascaras and eyeliners, it took him an hour before finally receiving a decent answer.

"Disneyland."

"Man, that's so cooool!! Hey, bro, you know the song, 'I can show you the world…. Shining shimmering splendid?'" Ichiru asked as he looked down at the clouds. "I feel like I'm riding Tarzan's magic carpet!" he added.

"What an idiot. It was Cinderella who had magic carpet."

"I thought that was Simba?"

"Nevermind."

As the 24-hour flight occurred, Zero has been annoyed by his twin brother by singing the most classic Disney songs that almost made his eardrums explode.

"Ichiru. Would you please, don't bug me just for one second? Are you planning to destroy my eardrums?" Zero asked as he gave a harsh stare at his twin brother who was unfortunately wearing the sleeping mask and the earphones stuck or glued to both his ears so Zero's shouts and reprimands were totally immune…

"Damn you, no-good-of-a-twin!" Zero shouted as he got one earphone out and shouted at his brother's ear.

"OWWW!! Hey duuude?! What's the matter? I'm preparing myself for Disneyland. Can't you prepare yourself quietly?" Ichiru asked as he tried to feel his brother's hand because he couldn't see because of the sleeping mask. Finally, he grabbed the earphone back and wore it back on his ear.

"Uhh… Ichiru…"

"What?!"

"That's not…"

"What?"

"Excuse me sir, would you like some bread or noodles?" the stewardess lost her line when she saw Ichiru wearing something on his ear.

"Uhm, why is your twin wearing popcorn on his ear?" she asked Zero kind of hesitantly because the dark red lipstick and the thick eyeliner kinda scared her.

"Oh. He was planning to grab his earphone… while he grabbed the wrong one." Zero answered as he battered his eyelashes.

"Anyway, I'll take oatmeal. I'm on diet."

"I see. How about him, sir?"

"He'll take nothing. Just a glass of water will do."

After the stewardess served their meals, Zero turned to the man who was reading newspaper on the other aisle.

"Kaname dear. Can I have some of your cucumbers?" Zero asked, Kaname brought the newspaper down, revealing the lovely cucumber slices on his eyes to prevent eyebags.

"Mehn, how can you read with your cucumbs on?" Zero asked.

"Oh. I didn't have any clue too." He said before removing the said cucumbers from his eyes and handed them to the silverhaired guy.

"There. You can have them." He said.

"EEEEWWW… I don't want cucumbs from your eyes. I might get food poisoned." Zero complained and shoved the cucumber slices away from him. Kaname gasped.

"How could you reject the cucumbers from a pureblood?" he asked.

"I have the right to reject them. Because I'm not adding cucumbers to my oatmeal from the eyes of a pureblood." Zero said.

"What did you say?"

"EXCUSE ME? Can you lower your freaking voices for a second?!" Ichiru asked as he was staring at the back of his seat, facing the puppy, because he still has those dark sleeping mask on his face.

"Thank you very much."

After a few hours, everything was sleeping, except Ichiru who just woke up because he felt his tummy grumble. He hadn't eaten anything for breakfast, lunch, and just a glass of water during dinnertime. Removing the sleeping mask, he turned to his brother who was sleeping with cucumber slices on his eyes.

"Zero? Zero I'm hungry. Where do we get food?" he asked. He was given no response. He just waited for morning, enduring his stomach's complaints about starving.

Poor Ichiru.

Experienced so much horrible starvation inside the plane until they set foot on Disneyland. The mascots didn't fail to amaze them, especially that huge purple dinosaur. Zero and Ichiru put on a big smile and was about to make a run towards Barney but Toga grabbed them back.

"You can have fun first, I'll take you to the rehab clinic later." Toga said before letting them go. Kaname stayed beside Toga.

"Well, Kuran, aren't you going to have fun?" he asked. Kaname just fixed his hair behind his ear.

"Purebloods are never made for amusements like this." He replied. Not a few minutes later, he saw a huuuuge Hello Kitty carrying balloons.

"HELLO KITTY!!" Kaname ran like the wind and hugged the huge kitty who was carrying balloons before him.

Just as planned…

While waiting for their turn, Ichiru was busy licking lollipops while Zero enjoyed his strawberry flavored popcorn.

"Where's Kaname?" Ichiru asked.

"Carousel." Zero bluntly answered for he does not want to be disturbed from eating his popcorn. A few minutes later, Kaname was sent to the infirmary because of some allergy. Low class paint and wood isn't made for a pureblood like him, like what Ruka said.

"Hey Ichiru." Toga said as he called forth one of his disciples. Ichiru happily responded and skipped towards Toga to hear what he has to say.

Zero narrowed his eyes. He was getting bad vibes from Toga lately. Watching him talk to his twin with freakish arm gestures and touches kinda freaked him out. After a minute, Ichiru got back to his twin and hugged him.

"Whoah… hey, hey, what's up?" Zero asked as he let go of his twin brother.

"Hmmm… nothing! I just wanna tell you that I really reaaaalllyyy love you as a brother. And all the things that I have said and done like 'omg, freak, I hate you. Die.' And some sorts are only from the script Shizuka made because she promised to give me 25 thousand dollars. Soo… yeah." Ichiru said as he went on licking his lollipop.

"Heh… weirdo." Zero replied and went on eating his popcorn. As he was almost reaching the bottom of the bucket, Zero felt a paper inside it.

"Eeeeww!! A paper!" he said as he began to take the piece of paper out and read it. Its seems to be a fortune teller.

"If you don't want to lose a mirror, always hold it by the hand. If ever the mirror embraces you, do not be the first to let go…. You wouldn't know. It might be the last." He said, reading the paper aloud. He then turned to Ichiru.

"Hey bro? "

Ichiru was gone. Zero immediately looked around him to see if ever Ichiru went to buy another lollipop or ice cream.

"Hey Zero! I'll go ahead first! There's a vacant seat over here!" Ichiru said as he sat down on the front roller coaster seat.

"Hey! Come back you big dummy! You promised that we'll ride it together!" Zero replied. But it was too late. The conductors already closed the gate and everyone prepared for the big loop. The last thing that Ichiru did was to wink at Zero and gave him thumbs up. And then… the horror happened.

"AIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I'M FLYYYIIIING!! I'M FLY-"

THUMP

"ICHIRUUUUUUUU!!"

"Ichiru was innocent…" Zero said as he figured out that the doctor was listening to everything that he said. Damn doctor. Is he a stalker or what?!

"None of this is your fault, Zero. Fate decides itself." The doctor just replied.

"It's your turn to have revenge for what happened to your brother. "

"Go back…"

"and solve the mystery."

A few hours later, Zero rode the plane back towards Cross Academy.
