Reviewer's Lot: Here, I shall reply to all reviews needing to be answered.
keikeiaznqueen - First of all, I did not change Ryoma's gender just because I didn't want to deal with yaoi. In fact, I have a plan to write a fic for them with yaoi and else wise. I just felt that yaoi wasn't going to work out too well with the plot of this story and I also wanted to write at least one fanfic to Ryoma being a girl.
Moreover, what does Twilight have to do with anything? Sure, I've watched it with my friends, though it's nothing special. I basically only made drabbles to it because my friend begged me, but truly, I could care less for Twilight. And what gives you the right to bash me? I have done nothing wrong. If you didn't like what you saw, then why'd you even bother to review? I personally know that you won't read this to hear my words, but I have one question: Are you a coward for making an anonymous review? I don't think I am as retarded as you think. And out of all of the hundreds of people who make Ryoma a girl too, why do you even give a word? Some people may take things the opposite way and may also just do so to anger you. Your words don't faze me since only a retard would right such a review in the first place. I'll keep writing, whether you like it or not. And to be truly honest, your review made me want to right more. You can say all you like, and I know for sure you won't read this, but I'll keep writing. ;P
Author's Note: Well, looks like I finally got off my lazy bum to start writing again… or more like me still sitting but getting motivated. XD Anyways, as you can see the giant reply above. Try to ignore it as much as possible, but you can read it as well. I don't really care. Anyways, yes, I am not leaving this fan fiction unfinished at any time soon so just bear with me while I try to get through this. ^^; If any of you have suggestions, I'll gladly take them, just don't say them bluntly in front of everyone. Wouldn't want to ruin the surprise. And if you happen to give me an idea, don't be surprised if I don't go "Wow! That's a PERFECT idea! I'll so use that." and so on. I won't do that because if I like it, I'll use it wherever I think would fit best in the story and I shall give you full credit when I get to that information in the story. I just want you to be "Wait, I thought she didn't like it" and flip out. I like making things a bigger surprise then what they're cut out to be. XDD Anyways, I hope you give me a few ideas for I know I will need some in the future. I get major editing block. Now, I shall end my rambling. ^_^

Chapter 2: Looks Pull Off
((Started: December 2nd/Finished: December 4th))
"Everyone, please fasten your seatbelts for we shall be taking off very soon. Until we are at a safe altitude, please refrain from loosening your seatbelts. You may unfasten them and move around after you have been giving the signal, o-ke?" Ryoma and Ryoga fastened their seatbelts as the flight attendant ambled passed them. Ryoma stared lazily at the window, seeing her reflection. She supposed that even though she was not permitted to cut her hair, she decided the wig made a decent cover up job. Now, if only she knew if her looks deceived the many people around her. Ryoma twisted in her seat to face Ryoma.
"Ne…" Ryoga turned his head to Ryoma with a raised eyebrow. His sister had that look again, and whenever that look was visible, he knew he'd be getting into a little mischief.
"Yes, chibisuke?" Ryoga asked, almost regretfully. Ryoma only stared at him through curious eyes.
"Do you think that I can pull this off?" Ryoma asked innocently. Ryoga couldn't help but start to laugh at his poor sister; all the while, Ryoma's face was conjuring a scowl that deepened by the second.
"Sure thing. Just get rid of the feminine traces and such and you'll be a natural. Might want to build some muscle too or they may call you an anorexic barbie." (A/N: My friends call me that because I don't eat much. XD)
"Che. Shimeta," replied Ryoma and she turned back in her seat. Ryoga was beaming from ear to ear at his sister's reaction.
"Well, I suppose I should start calling you bro from now on. Unless you want me to act like a poor and blind older brother always running into you thinking you're my long, lost sister," retorted Ryoga as he faked trying to feel his way around while looking lifelessly at the window. "Ryoma, my sister. Where are you?" Ryoma hit Ryoga in the stomach and crossed her arms. Ryoga grabbed his stomach pretending the hit hurt him and started to laugh.
"Baka!" Ryoma yelled as she pouted. Brothers could be so annoying at times.
After 15 minutes of their quarrelling, the flight attendant announced that they were at a safe height and speed for them to move around. Ryoma unbuckled her seatbelt and stood. Ryoga looked up from his tennis magazine and gave his sister a questioning look.
"And where are you off to?" Ryoga asked. Ryoma squeezed herself out into the isle before replying.
"Ponta. Would you like anything?" Ryoga shook his head.
"Iie. But get back soon unless you want to hear the wrath of oyaji. Especially because of what you'll be putting yourself through this year," replied Ryoga as he continued to read his magazine.
"Che. Shimeta," responded Ryoma as she walked to another compartment of the plane. Once she spotted it, she went over to a vending machine. (A/N: Hey, hey! I know what you're thinking, but the plane I was on had a vending machine in it so nhm! ;P Doesn't matter if it's queer, it's just there. XD) Ryoma punched the Ponta button and as she picked it up, she heard someone speak behind her in Japanese.
"Are you Japanese?" he asked. Ryoma turned around a smirked.
"I sure am," she replied in perfect Japanese. The boy chuckled.
"I thought as much. So, I take it you will be heading to Seishun Gakuen for your schooling?" he asked. Ryoma raised an inquiring eyebrow as she looked at the older boy.
"Yes?" The boy chuckled again as he saw the look on her face.
"I just knew it. It just seemed that a boy like you would go to Seishun." Ryoma nearly froze. He had just called her a guy. Nobody calls her a guy. Wait until she gets her han-… Wait a second, she was disguised as a boy in the first place. Ryoma literally felt like slapping herself there on the spot. It amazed her that she had not revealed her secret through that short period of time and covered up her shock.
"Aa. So, what of you?" Ryoma asked. The man seemed young enough, like he was 17, so she didn't hold back the question.
"I attend Rikkaidai. I'm a 3rd year and the buchou of the tennis team, Yukimura," he replied. Ryoma smirked at the boy.
"What a pleasure to meet you. My name is Ryoma. I will be joining the tennis team so I hope to play you in the future." This time, it was Yukimura's turn to smirk.
"Oh, but what a pleasure that'll be. I look forward to that moment," said Yukimura.
"Until then," Ryoma said while waving her hand. Ryoma easily found her way back to her seat by Ryoga. Ryoga didn't even avert his eyes from his magazine as Ryoma resumed her seat next to him.
"Get the Ponta?" he asked. Ryoma opened up the can and took a sip.
"Aa," she replied. Ryoga smirked lightly as he continued reading.
"Mission accomplished." Ryoga began to chuckle as Ryoma took this opportunity to hit Ryoga… hard. "Ow!"
"Mada mada dane," Ryoma said.
"What was that for?" Ryoga asked when the pain washed away from his expression. Ryoma looked at her brother as if he was dressed as a banana. (A/N: You know, the look you give someone if they're crazy? My friend was dressed as a banana and I just gave him a look and asked "Why?" That kinda look, just not squinting your eyes… oh well. Whatever. XD)
"For being an idiot," replied Ryoma as she smugly drank the rest of her Ponta.
"Cross-dressing sisters. Those looks won't pull off in front of me," Ryoga muttered. Ryoma looked back at her brother.
"What was that?" she asked.
"Nothing," Ryoga said while putting on a smile.
"I thought as much," Ryoma said before looking out the window.
'Scary,' Ryoga thought as he watched his sister before engulfing himself back into the magazine.
Author's Note: Yush! Finally, got chapter 2 down. So, what'd you think? And yes, I added Yukimura. I like Yukimura actually. He seemed like another Fuji in a few fan fictions that I've read. Both sadistic. XD I promise you that Fuji will appear in either the next chapter and if not, then he will definitely make an appearance in the 4th. You can count on that. Now, onto the other part.
Even if I am a beta-reader myself, we all miss a few things when we read our own work. I do not have a beta for this story, but I would very much like at least one. Really, I'd prefer two, but I can always reread my own work to try and find any lingering errors. So, if any of you have at least a great grammar experience and will not bash my work or plot, please consider being my beta for this story if you feel up to it. You must also be determined to stick with this job. Of course I know life get's in the way, but if you do become my beta, make sure you tell me if you can't do it just et or if you have to stop. I won't mind it at that. I'll just be angered if you don't tell me at all. XD
So, please, give it a thought. Sankyuu! :D
Ok-e - OK
Ne - Hey
Chibisuke - Ryoga's pet name for Ryoma. I heard it meant "Cute White Dragon" or "Cute White Baby Dragon?" I dunno. Somewhere along those lines. XD
Shimeta - Whatever
Baka- Idiot
Iie - No
Che - An interjection; 'Shit', 'Damn', are the common definitions. Otherwise, it's used just as meaningless answer.
Aa - Yeah, Sure, Okay, Uh-huh, Right.
Did I forget any? XD
