CHAPTER 6: We Love Fast Food

"Excuse me, passengers, for waking any of you, but we will soon be landing. Please, return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts. Thank you for your cooperation." Tohru woke up as he said this. She looked startled, and searched to see where she was exactly.

'Oh yes! We are on the plane to New York!' She remembered. She noticed that she had been leaning on Kyo's shoulder when she was sleeping. At this point, he was sleeping too. She removed herself from his shoulder, telling herself it was a good thing he had not transformed because of her. She spun in her seat to see Yuki smiling at her, as Momiji slept on the armrest. He waved and mouthed hi to her, as to not wake Momiji. She smiled at him and waved back. She turned back to her normal sitting position. She turned her head to look at Kyo. He looked so blissful! She never had a chance to watch Kyo-kun sleep. His mouth was a little bit open, but no drool came out of it. His head lolled to the left, and he didn't snore. His chest rose and fell with each breath he took. She watched him some more, to make sure this moment could be imprinted in her memory.

But why?

She blushed and spun her head forwards. Why was she staring at him? Why did she want an image of Kyo-kun sleeping to be imprinted in her mind? Because he was her friend? … She didn't think most friends watched each other sleep… She never really watched Hana-chan or Uo-chan sleep…

Because Kyo-kun is really cute!

Something inside her told her. She blushed even more, almost to the point of explosion. She clasped her face in her hand and lightly slapped her cheeks. Where on earth did that come from? Certainly, Kyo-kun was cute… Just like she thought Sohm-… Yuki-kun was cute too! So then…

Why does thinking Kyo-kun is cute make you blush, and thinking Yuki-kun is cute doesn't?

She didn't know. All she knew was that she felt very hot and that looking at Kyo-kun would just make her blush more. She looked the opposite way and sighed slowly. What did she think of Kyo-kun? She didn't know. Maybe she had just never realized how cute her friend was, and it surprised her. … That must be it.

"Uo-chan, I think Tohru-chan is worried about something." Hana said. She recognized Tohru's waves even through all the Sohma's interesting waves surrounding her. It wasn't that bad of a worry, but she thought she'd tell Uo, just to inform her.

"Really? Why do you think? I hope it isn't that dumbass Kyon-Kyon. H definitely has a knack for screwing things up. If it is, I'll kill him…" Uo-chan said, menacingly waving a clenched fist in front of her. Arisa could tell that the tone of her voice meant that Tohru wasn't really that worried. Otherwise, Hana would already be standing by Tohru's side, telling her it was okay.

"I do not believe that he has done anything to her. Maybe… She is afraid of the plane's landing…" Hana mentioned. Uo knew that even if it was that boy, Hana would not say anything because indeed, Uotani Arisa hurts anyone that messes with Tohru. She just hoped that if it was Kyon-Kyon, he didn't do anything that would really hurt her. She raised herself in her seat and saw that Kyo was sleeping. "Well, hoping he's not so dumb that he'll be mean Tohru-kun while he's sleeping." She smiled and laughed. Hana slowly turned towards her and also let a little laugh slip.

The plane descended slowly. Momiji was now awake, and he was intently looking out the window with his big brown eyes. He smiled as he saw all the big buildings that took all New York City's room. He then looked at Hanajima-san, and smiled at her. She turned towards him and smiled too. He liked that girl. She seemed to be someone who seems troubled on the outside (because she wears all those dark colors) and who indeed, is a troubled person. But he was strangely drawn to her now. She was so sympathetic, so kind to have taken her own time to see through him, and to understand his pain. He was hoping they would have more time together so they could bond, because he really liked that girl. When he looked out the window again, he noted that they had gotten much closer to the ground and yelled out:

"UUWAHH! LOOK YUKI-KUN! WE'RE HEEEERE!" Some people were awoken by his outburst and a baby began to sob loudly. The mother stared at him with frustration. Yuki tapped the back of Momiji's head, and told him not to do that again. Momiji frowned. He looked to Saki-san, who seemed to have been amused by his yelp. She was giggling with her hand politely over her mouth. He giggled a bit too. He was caught off guard when they began the landing process and he felt himself being squashed by the pressure onto his seat. He grabbed the armrest, and stared and Yuki. Yuki had never taken the plane before, and seemed to be gasping for air. Momiji found this funny, and began to laugh softly. Yuki looked at him curtly and turned a soft shade of pink, because he realized only after that he probably seemed a bit stupid.

When the plane began the landing process, Tohru felt afraid. She grabbed Kyo-kun's hand fiercely and shut her eyes tightly. Kyo-kun woke up to feel extreme pressure on his whole body and Tohru holding his hand with a tight grasp. Were they dying? He looked around him, and saw that most people had no problem with this whole situation. 'It must be the landing.' He thought. Tohru had her eyes closed and was leaning back in her seat. He squeezed her hand for a bit with mutual force. She looked up at him now, and he smiled at her. She let a weak smile spread across her face.

"This is a little scary…" She admitted to Kyo, her voice low.

"Maybe a bit." He replied, still smiling at her. He patted her hand with his, and an instant later, the landing was over. She felt a wave of relief come over her.

"Kyo-kun. Thank you." She told him. He smiled at her and patted her shoulder, a gesture that probably meant 'Don't worry about it, Tohru.'

They got out of the plane and entered the airport. It was spacious and very white, so white it made you feel a bit dizzy. The ceiling looked complicated, it had many metal pillars passing through and around it. Tohru noted that a lot of people were speaking English. She felt completely disoriented for a few seconds though, because she hardly could understand a word they were saying… In her English class, they didn't speak half as fast! Immediately, she felt two pairs of hands gripping her sides.

"Uo-chan! Hana-chan! How are you? I've missed you!" She told them, as she hugged them tightly. She felt better already, having them along.

"We missed you too, Tohru-chan." Hana said, and she hugged Tohru.

"Yeah! We sure did! So how's Kyon-Kyon? And the prince? And

Momiji-kun and Hatsuharu-kun and that other girl?" Uo-chan asked, as she patted Tohru's head affectionately. Tohru brought her index finger to her chin and looked to the ceiling.

"Well Kyo-kun is doing well, I think Momiji-kun and… Yuki-kun are doing well too. I don't know about Haru and Rin though… Has anyone seen them? I wonder where they've gone?" Tohru looked around, searching for them. Yuki came towards her.

"Haru and Rin are right there. I think they have had a fight or something… Maybe Rin is mad at Haru. I'm not really sure…" Yuki told her. He hoped that they were okay… Rin stood in the opposite direction of Haru's sad eyes and looked a bit angry. Since he knew Rin better than every one except Haru, he knew that she could not have been mad at Haru. That was practically impossible.

'It must be something else…'

"Oh dear… Do you think they'll be okay, Yuki-kun?" Tohru asked him. He couldn't resist a smile.

"I think so. This is between them though, so let's just wait and see what happens." Yuki told her.

Uo's stomach grumbled, and she moaned. " Aghh… I'm so hungry! The meals on the airplane were yuckyyy… What can we eat here that's any good?"

"It's too bad you're going to have to discover the wonders of American fast food already." Haru told them all.

" Fast food? Where? Com'on Kyon-Kyon, let's go!" She said, grabbing Kyo's sleeve and running towards aKFC.

"What! Hey, where are you bringing me, you dumb Yankee?" Kyo yelled at her, as she tugged him towards the counter. Tohru and Hana laughed. All the rest of the gang walked towards the restaurant.

"See Tohru? Your English was so good, you didn't even have to ask twice for what you wanted!" Momiji told her with a smile. She smiled back at him, he looked so happy today!

"I guess you're right! The only problem is that… I have no clue what I'm eating." She stared at the chicken and the green coleslaw. She was puzzled.

"Maybe it's chicken? The restaurant is, after all, called 'Kentucky Fried Chicken'…" Yuki suggested.

"Well then, what's that green stuff?" Momiji asked, poking it with a straw.

"It seems to be some sort of… Salad." Hana answered expressionless.

"Maybe it's… Barf?" Momiji asked, taking his straw away from it immediately. Tohru, Kyo and Yuki all had a look of disgust on their faces.

"What's your problem, you idiot rabbit! Do you think Tohru wants to think she's eating barf?" Kyo said as he slapped Momiji hard on the head from across the table. Rin rolled her eyes as Momiji began weeping.

"You idiot cat… Are you suggesting that Tohru might be eating barf?" Yuki asked Kyo, with frustration printed on his face.

"I never said that, you dumb rat! It's always MY fault, isn't it?" Kyo told him.

"Actually, yes it is!" Uo yelled at him. She seemed amused.

"SHUT UP YANKEE! I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU!" Kyo replied, flushing red.

" Really Uotani-san, I think it would be wise if you did not include yourself in his discussions. He's rabid and not afraid to bite." Yuki whispered loud enough to her so that Kyo could hear. Arisa laughed loudly.

"Why you…" Kyo said, popping a fist up at both Yuki and Uo-chan.

"One day! I will kill you both! You'll see!" He shouted in their faces. Uo-chan was laughing very hard and Yuki was smirking at him.

"Just try and touch me." Yuki said, as he got out of his bench with Arisa and Haru in it. Kyo also excused himself from the bench he was sharing with Tohru, Momiji and Rin. They both stood in a karate stance and Yuki was still smirking at him. Kyo charged towards him and Yuki caught him. He threw him high in the air and pummeled him onto the tile floor. Kyo bounced back up, and tried to charge towards him again. Yuki swiftly moved out of the way. Kyo bashed through a wall, and clients at the restaurant started to flee. Yuki and Kyo didn't mind, they continued their fight. Hana noticed the restaurant manager coming towards them and warned Tohru. Hana knew Tohru had an incredible calming power with the boys and her thoughts were confirmed, for as soon as Tohru said " Kyo-kun! Yuki-kun!" ,they both stopped and saw the man coming. He began yelling at them very fast in English. He looked mad, so Uo suggested that they all leave. The man started screaming some swearwords at them. This made Haru mad.

" Think you're pretty cool, huh? Does insulting my friends make you feel above them? Well then…" Haru was now holding the manager by the collar and staring at him with a look that would terrify anyone.

"Oh no… He's black Haru…" Tohru said. Yuki shook his head and as he looked up, saw Rin walking towards this whole scene.

"Go kill yourself! Actually, you might as well let me kill you! Haa! FEEL MY WRATHH!" Haru informed the manager, as he threw him on the floor. Haru realized now that because he was speaking Japanese, the manager probably didn't understand a word he was saying. 'Oh well, this guy still does need to learn some manners.' As his fist was about to reach the man's fat face, a hand grabbed his arm. It was probably Yuki. Well he'd just have to handle him-

It was Rin.

"Stop it Haru." She ordered. He looked at her, let his eyes soak up her beauty as long as he could. She was amazing. Even the manager was staring at her. So Haru slapped the manager as hard as he could (this time, for staring at HIS Rin.) The manager fainted, he had been slapped so hard. Haru grabbed Rin's hand so that he could stand up and stared into her eyes. She smiled at him, and then he kissed her full on the mouth. She let a little moan escape her lips, because kissing Haru was such an amazing feeling, she couldn't help it. She accepted the kiss as a thank you, and she blushed a velvety red color. They walked back to the group hand in hand.

"So, what did I miss." Haru asked with a smile on his lips. Tohru had a personal moment.

Thank you god, for not letting them be mad at each other… I was really worried for them...

"Tohru? You coming?" Momiji-kun asked her. She smiled at him and ran back to the group.

Mom, I really hope for them that one day, they'll be able to be together…
