UKL: I was rereading my past 2 chappies and I realized that most of it actually doesn't make much sense .…/ducks under table/ SORRY! I know I haven't been updating for like, seven months and I KNOW that's totally horrible of me… but…. I just couldn't bring myself to write more! Firstly cuz this story is totally not making any sense and secondly…you won't believe this, but…. All 6 of my computers broke down in a row… due to me… cuz I download too many Kai pics o.o and thirdly… actually, this chapter has been lying there in my bag, un-typed for two months or so… I just couldn't bring myself to type it up and post it cuz… it isn't making any sense at all! And fourthly…I can't write when I can't… otherwise… it'll suck…. Even more than it does already X(
SaFE: This is SMMC speaking. Please forgive her, as she has been overly stressed out by the mocks and also the mountain high stack of course works, as have I /whispers: even though I found the time to write AND post my fics/
UKL: /glares/ thanks for being supportive (sarcasm ppl, sarcasm!) FYI, I also helped you beta your fics . well, with the help of Only Secret… ok, fine, SHE has been posting her chapters as well…. Fine, it's just me…

Important notes:
New features:
ITALICS will now represent thoughtsPleasetake note.
Underlined italics will be Japanese that I don't know… as I don't really know much… :S
WARNING: MAJOR OOC-ness on Kai's part…explanations to OOC-ness will come later on in the story.
Coincidence: In the Airport
"Finally! "Rei thought.
The plane has just landed in the Narita airport (1). During the past 4 hours on the plane, there had been only silence between both Kai and Rei.
After all, not much had ever been needed to be said between the two of them; they had come to a mutual understanding a long time ago. (2)
Ever since the night they (just the two of them) had gone clubbing and got a bit high, and after Rei had accidentally spilled everything about his past (3) to Kai, they have gotten closer to each other –closer than they have ever been to anyone else.
(Get your minds out of the gutter people, friend-wise, ok? Not anything else-wise -.-)
But that does not mean that Kai's indifferent and smug attitude had changed totally when he was with Rei, indeed, Kai will always be Kai.
(A/N: Kai will always be MINE! Kai: in your dreams Me/pouts/ your mean! Kai: thank you for the compliment Me/glare/)
/Rei's POV /
People around us had started to get their luggage.
I stood up to take a look aroundfinding that there was only one way to describe the scene; total chaos. Those chaps were basically squashing each other to death.
I…um… think I'm gonna wait till they all get off before I start getting my own stuff
I don't wanna die of suffocation… I thought as I sat back down, looking out of the window again. Don't ask why I found the window so fascinating, cuz I really don't know myself.
"You're not gonna get your things then?" Kai asked me with one eyebrow raised.
Sighing, I turned around to face him and said "Kai, take a look around. Do you seriously think we'd survive without getting squashed on the way out?"
"You're waiting till they all leave then?" He said: it was more of a statement than a question.
"Duh." As impossible as it sounds, Kai can be so slow at times.
/Kai's POV/
"I'll wait with you." I said as I sat back down on the seat. I really hate these aeroplane seats.
They always made them sound/look so good on the adverts. I really should have just gone on my private jet.
But then again… why would I ever want to do that when I knew Rei was going to be on this flight?
Just in case you were wondering, my "grandfather" used to own an airline company, meaning that:
Number one: I'm what one would call "filthy rich" because I inherited all the family's assets since all of them are either dead or imprisoned for life.
And number two: I'd be able to find out who all the customers were.
I was going through some of the papers (4) one day and something caught my eye: the name "Rei Kon" written in big, bold letters.
Instead of upgrading him into first class and joining him there, I figured that I would just join him in the economy class, in case he suspects something.
You can imagine the rest.
I closed my eyes and folded my arms and tried to get rid of that uncomfortable prickly feeling that came from sitting on those stupid chairs for too long.
And then I felt something else.
Rei s eyes.
So I half opened my left eye and said "What?"
"Why are you waiting for me?"
I smirked.
Poor, poor, innocent Rei. Let me teach you the art of playing with words.
"Never said I was waiting FOR you; I said I was going to wait WITH you."
Watching amusedly, I saw a light blush rushing to Rei's cheeks. He's so cute when he does that. Wait, scratch that, he's always cute (A/N: I WARNED u on the OOC-ness)
/Normal POV/
"That's what I MEANT," retorted Rei
"Whatever," was Kai's original response.
"Still, why are you waiting with me then?" Rei trying, yet again, to get an answer out of Kai.
"Don't fancy being squashed either." Kai simply stated.
"Oh" not the answer he wanted.
Feeling slightly disappointed, Rei thought to himself "Why can't he be a little nicer, just for once?"
UKL: Maybe I should stop here… I mean, it IS longer than the other chapters… and I AM dying of sleeplessness…
Rei: I don't think the readers would like you to leave me hanging there like that… and neither do I!
UKL: Fine… I'll do more… just cuz it's V-day and I haven't updated for so long…
Rei: Yay/glomps/
Even after waiting for so long on the plane, the queue in the immigration area was still unbelievably massive.
Rei was slightly pissed off, as he was already exhausted from the plane ride alone, and this was adding to his fatigue. "Why can't they just stamp those stupid passports a little quicker!"
He was on the verge of collapsing onto the floor, and his luggage was dragging him down (A/N: it's those carrier-bag types… not the kind where you can drag on the floor cuz it has wheels .U)
Suddenly feeling a loss of weight from his shoulders, and being unprepared, he lost his balance.
He was about to hit the floor when he felt a strong arm winding its way around his waist, breaking the fall.
"Seriously, for a neko-jin like you to loose balance like this," came Kai's amused voice.
"OI! It's not my fault that SOMEONE decided to take my bag without informing me, thus making me lose my balance. The fact that I'm totally exhausted does not help either." Rei said, eyeing his luggage, which was now on Kai shoulder.
(A/N: NO! not the side where he's carrying Rei in! Believe me, if he did that, I would've killed him! Kai: Hey, YOU'RE the one who's writing the fanfic/ignores comment and shoves Kai away/ doesn't matter who's writing the fic! 'Cuz it hurts!)
Then it hit Rei. Kai hadn't brought anything with him.
"Um, Kai, where're your things?"
"What things?"
"Your, um, luggage."
"Don't have any," said Kai nonchalantly.
"What do you mean?"
"Got everything I need" Kai said, while gently patting his pocket.
Rei stared at him with raised eyebrows.
And then something else hit him.
He was still being held by Kai with one arm, and his back was a 45degrees angle to the floor.
He jumped up immediately, blushing furiously from embarrassment. Quickly, he mumbled a quiet "Gomen nasai... e...anou… Aritgatou…"(5)
Smiling slightly, Kai replied as quietly "Daijobu"(6)
/Rei's POV/
"Did Kai just smile at me? Nah…must've been my imagination…"
/Normal POV/
"Next please!" (7) After another 20 minutes, they'd finally reached the counter where the immigration staff sat.
Seeing that Rei was Chinese and not Japanese, the girl (A/N. yes, a GURL, got a problem with that? And like, duh, everyone can see that Rei's Chinese… seeing that he's always in that outfit .) started saying, in broken English
"Eskusmi sur… wat is di purpose of your visit?"
"I can speak Japanese" Rei stated with a smile.
"Youkata!" (8) The girl sighed in relief.
(A/N: please kindly imagine the rest of the conversation. As I'm limited in Japanese and I can't remember what those dudes say anyway…)
Rei waited patiently for Kai in the waiting area in front of the counter. As Kai came out from behind the counter Rei said, rather bashfully(A/N: sorry… couldn't resist! I just LOVE that word hehe)
"Uh, I appreciate the fact that you are carrying my luggage for me, but can I please have it back?"
"No can do," Kai said calmly. Just had to add something there, sorry!
"I beg your pardon?"
"I might not be able to catch you if you collapse on the floor again" Kai said, smirking.
"I did NOT collapse," Rei said indignantly.
"Does it matter? Fact is you fell, and I caught you."
Rei humphed.
They walked outside the terminal, and just as they stepped out of the door, Kai received a call (on his mobile… duh, obviously one WITH roaming)
"Yes… I'm right outside the terminal…. Near the shuttle bus stop, yes… thank you."
Just as Kai put the phone back into his pocket, a black limo came driving through.
A man in his mid-thirties, who was in a black suit, came out of the car.
"Good day, Mr. Hiwatari, was your trip comfortable"
"Near enough" Kai responded with a wave of his hand.
Kai smirked (again) seeing Rei's shocked face.
"Would you like to have a ride?" Kai asked, with an even wider smirk than before.
Before Rei could respond, his luggage was transferred from Kai's shoulder to the ca…. limo's trunk, and he was pulled swiftly into the car.
TBC
UKL: HOLY! 1217 words! That's like… the longest I have EVER written… for ANYTHING!
Rei: /glomps/
Kai: Hn
SaFE/glares/ KAI… /with a warning tone/
Kai: fine… good for you.
UKL: Thankee /glomps/
OS: /sweatdrops/ weird people…
UKL+ SaFE + Rei: OI!
UKL: ANYWAY
Here's the glossary:
(1) Yet again, a REAL airport in Tokyo.
(2) + (3) will be explained later, but as most of you would've guessed by now, they didn't have what one would call a "happy" childhood / past
(4) Now this is where I did some…. err, altering, Kai, still being in school and all, would not in real life, be in charge of such a big company…. I'm not even making him take econ or business as his subjects, 'cuz that's just plain cruel. But seeing as this is a Fanfic and that Kai is our almighty Kai…. He's the boss of the airline company
SaFE: Yeah, not to mention that he would probably be a genius at the two above subjects ANYWAY…
Kai: ...
(5) Think most of you will know by now, but just in case, it means " sorry … and…um… thank you…"
(6) Same as above, and it means, " it's alright" in this context
(7) I would really appreciate it if someone can tell me how to spell it in Romaji…'cuz I only know the kanji version
(8) Not sure about the spelling, but it means something similar "I'm so glad" or "thank goodness" in this context.
Everyone (including Kai) :Please RR!
/silence… everyone looking at Kai weirdly/
Kai: What? I'm in kind of a good mood today…
Rei: / glomps/
UKL + SaFE + OS: /sweatdrops/
