Trip to Paris: Chapter 2- Airport
Written in the POV of Tohru
It was a beautiful day. The sun shined through the window and onto my face as the wind swept by my feet. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I yawned and stretched and lifted my legs off the bed and placed them on the floor. I got up and walked into the bathroom. I turned the faucet on and cupped my hand to gather some water. I splashed the water onto my face and grabbed a towel to dry it off. I grabbed my cup and filled it with water and rinsed my mouth. I spat out the water and headed down the kitchen to start breakfast.
"Let's see. Why don't I cook some eggs and bacon?"
I took all the equipment I needed and placed them on the table. I checked to see if I had everything: Pots and pans, plates, forks, spoons, 4 cups and a spatula. Then, I took out all the food to prepare the meal. I looked through the fridge and took out eight eggs, two for each in the house and a package of bacon along with a carton of milk. Perfect! I started off with breakfast and was finished in half an hour. I called out for Kyo, Yuki and Shigure and they came down to eat breakfast.
"Ah, what a fine meal my flower has prepared for me today!" Shigure complimented.
"Miss Honda, this meal looks delicious!" Yuki said. He wiped his eyes, apparently he was still sleepy. He never was a morning person.
We all sat down around the table and started to eat.
"So, do you guys have any plans in what you're going to do in Paris?" Shigure asked us.
"I thought we were going there to learn?" Yuki said.
"Yeah, but you guys are going to have some free time. You know, to roam around."
"How are we supposed to make some plans of what to do there if we haven't even been there before?!" Kyo said. As usual, his temper got him.
"You could keep it down you stupid cat."
"I don't see you answering back!"
"That's because it's nothing to fight about. Only a fool would fight back to a question like that."
"So are you calling me a fool?!"
"So
I see your brain is not working today as well."
"Why you damn
rat!"
Kyo prepared himself to punch Yuki but he got to him first. Yuki's fist hit against Kyo's jaw and sent him flying across the room. I started to panic and went over to him.
"Kyo- kun! Are you okay?! Do you need a first aid kit?! Where does it hurt?" I frantically looked around the room, but not sure what I was looking for.
"Don't worry about him Miss Honda, he'll be okay. Well, I guess I'm done with breakfast. I'll be taking a shower now." He sat up and left the kitchen.
"I'm okay! So stop worrying! Must you always care about other people?!" Kyo yelled at me. He left the kitchen and went up to his room. His words stung my heart. They kept repeating in my mind and I couldn't help but feel hurt.
"Don't worry Tohru; I'm sure he didn't mean that. He doesn't think so clear when he's angry. Thanks for the breakfast. If you need me, I'll be upstairs making last minute checks. Come down in half an hour."
I nodded my head and gathered all the plates. I headed towards the sink, placed my hand on the knob and twisted it to the left to turn it on. After finishing the dishes, I went up to my room and changed into a fresh set of clothes. Shigure said that we didn't need to wear our uniform since we weren't really going to be at school. I looked through the remains of the clothes in my closet and took out a black halter top and a plaid mini skirt with a brown ribbon. I changed my clothes and put the old ones into the basket. I grabbed my luggage and slung on my tokidoki messenger bag that Hana and Uo gave me for Christmas over my shoulder and headed downstairs.
"I'm ready!" I told Shigure. A few minutes after I came down Yuki and Kyo arrived, all packed and set.
"Okay! So are we good to go?"
We all nodded our heads and waited for Hatori and Ayame to arrive with the car. Yuki wore the usual Japanese clothes and Kyo his khaki jeans held up with a black belt and wore a black shirt. After waiting for 15 minutes, they arrived and we put our luggage in the trunk and sat inside the car. We drove in a black Honda civic, which was miraculously big enough to fit all of us. I was between Yuki and Kyo and Shigure between Ayame and Hatori, the driver. Shigure and Ayame were having fun in the front and whispered things to each other's ear as Hatori just concentrated on the road. They were actually the only ones talking and were practically yelling and laughing during the whole ride to the airport.
"Oh and remember when I went to the wrong bathroom?!" Shigure said at one point.
"Oh yes! Good times, good times!"
They grinned at each other and laughed out loud.
We were quiet in the back. Kyo just stared intensely at the road, annoyed by the noise Ayame and Shigure were making and Yuki was just looking out the window, gazing at the sights we passed. We arrived in the airport in half an hour and went to the airline we were supposed to go to meet the rest of the class. We saw a crowd of students gather around JALways and headed there.
The Yuki fan club girls yelled at me when we arrived at the area.
"Tohru! Who do you think you are! Arriving at the airport with Prince Yuki!"
"Yeah! Who gave you permission to stay with the Prince?!"
I ignored them and headed towards Uo and Hana, Kyo and Yuki following from behind.
"Why are you following me you damn rat?!"
"I
could ask you the same thing!"
"Well, I have no where else to
go!"
"Me too you know!"
"You
want to fight, wimp?!"
Haru came out of nowhere apparently and
shocked them.
"Will you guys stop fighting? This isn't a good area to fight."
"Haru! When did you get here?! I didn't even know you were coming!"
"Yeah, well Shigure invited me and so I decided to come."
Uo was wearing a long, beige air with a white v-neck top, as Hana wore a black skirt that went just below her knees and a black top with it. They each had a luggage and a backpack as carry- on.
"Okay, can I get everyone's attention?!" I turned to see Shigure trying to calm down the class. Once they were calm, he continued. "I will be passing out your tickets right now! Please gather all you belongings!"
"Yes! And I will introduce some people that will be coming along with us." It was Ayame's turn to speak. "If you look right were I am pointing, you will see a black and white haired boy! His name is Haru and Mr. Sohma and I invited him to come. If you look at the serious looking man to my right," he swept his arm to where Hatori was standing, "this will be one of our chaperones! His name is Hatori, so please be kind and don't tease him. No matter how tempting it is!"
"Only you do that." Hatori stated.
Shigure gave me a ticket. It said I was to sit by seat 420. That's by the tail of the airplane. I looked over to see what see Kyo would get. I peaked over his shoulder and saw that he had seat 419. This meant that he would be sitting by me! I was really excited. I looked over to Hana and Uo. They too sat next to each other, right in front of us in seats 417 and 418. I went over to Yuki.
"Yuki, what seat number are you on?"
"Oh, let's see. Looks like I'm sitting on seat 415!"
"That's great! Looks like all of us are sitting near each other!"
I looked around at my fellow peers. They were having conversations. The Yuki fan girls were glaring at me. Some of the girls tried sneaking up from behind to see if they would be sitting next to Yuki.
"Okay! So did everyone get their tickets?"
Everyone
said yes and unison and Shigure continued.
"Okay then! Let's
all check in and get going!"
There were sounds of screeches and rumbling as everyone rolled their luggage down the hallway. Once we were checked in, we had to scan ourselves. Our luggage was put through a conveyer belt and it rolled out of our sight. I removed my carry- on to let it be scanned and went through a scanning machine. After we were all done, we walked over to gate 42. I walked along side Hana and Uo, Kyo, Yuki and Haru behind us. After walking for quite a while, we finally reached our gate. We weren't boarding for another 30 minutes so we all sat down and took a rest. I looked outside the glass window and saw the airplane we were going to ride in. It was long and white. The tail of the plane was red and towards the front it said, "JAL Japan airlines."
"I wonder how Paris will be like."
"Well,I heard it's supposed to be the "city of love." It's a good place for couples to get together." Haru said. I stiffened in what he said. Couples, sure I loved Kyo- Kun but I know he didn't share the same feelings. I saddened at the thought. After awaiting half an hour, Shigure announced that it was time for us to board the plane. I put back my messenger bag and gave the lady my ticket. She checked it and returned it to me. I smiled at her and walked down this tunnel- like room and the next thing you know; the inside of the airplane appears. There were white and navy blue checkered chairs, with a red headrest that had the JAL airlines symbol, which was a J in cursive. I looked up at the numbers by the chair until I came upon the seat 420. I took a seat by the window seat and waited for Kyo and the others to arrive. I took off my messenger bag and placed it on the floor. A few minutes passed until Uo and the others appeared.
"Tohru! Looks like I'll be sitting in front of you, at least I'll still be able to keep an eye on you." I smiled back at Uo. She was like a mother to me.
"Who are you sitting by anyway?" Asked Hana as she and Uo took their seats in front of me.
"I'm not sure." I lied.
Kyo looked up at the seat numbers and stopped where I was sitting.
"Looks like I'll be sitting next to you Tohru."
I grinned at him and he quickly smiled back at turned his lips into a frown. He took off his backpack and placed it on the floor.
Shigure and Ayame, accompanied by Hatori came down the aisle. They did a head count and when they found that everyone was there; they took their seat which was apparently to the left of us.
"Oh great, the perverts will be sitting by us." I heard Kyo said.
"Kyo! Looks like you're sitting next to our little flower now!" Shigure said.
"Of course not! I'm not you!"
A voice on the intercom told us to buckle in our seat belts, and did what was asked. The engine roared as it turned on and we started to reverse out of the gate. The plane paused for a moment and all of a sudden shot forward and lifted into the sky. I couldn't wait until we arrived at Paris.
Okay, so that's the end of the chapter. Please kindly leave a review of what you thought! Thanks for reading!
