(A/N: Sorry for, like, ditching you guys, I went on vacation myself :D )
Izumi was still agitated by Yoshitaka's behaviour when they returned to the seats, and neither spoke to one another, though Yoshitaka tried repeatedly. Kazu immediately sensed something was wrong and sent Izumi a questioning glance, but she just turned away.
"Uh... If you want, I can leave you two to work out... whatever's wrong.." He stood up.
"Ah, no, that won't be necessary." Izumi was quick to shout, but Kazu was already heading down the aisle toward the lavatory.
"...Geh." Just great. What she needed most was definitely more time alone with The Pervert.
Yoshitaka turned to Izumi, this time with real concern in his face. It baffled her. They were supposed to be on vacation, but he was so serious all the time, without a trace of his usual twisted self... not, of course, that she missed it or anything, it's just...
Well, damnit, she was a little worried.
The plane began to rumble, but Izumi quickly dismissed it as minor turbulence until she was literally rocking back and forth in her seat. People were screaming, everywhere was chaos, and where was Kazu?
Speak of the devil, or at least think of it. Kazu was slowly making his way to his seat as the plane bounced around. Suddenly an announcement boomed through the aircraft.
"Attention, there has been a...minor disturbance in the aircraft. Please return to your seat and fasten your seatbelt to be safe. We will tend to the matter immediately."
Thank god. Izumi turned her head to look out the window and..
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. The plane was on fire.
What she remembered next was a mass of frenzied screams, wild attempts to reach the exit door and constant but not very convincing attempts to control the passengers by the staff.
"We're going to die, aren't we?" Izumi whispered to no one in particular, her voice barely audible above the shouts.
"The last time we thought that Mitsuki had a GPS all along. I'm sure this is one of her scemes or something." Yoshitaka reassured her.
"Not by the looks of it." She gestured to where Mitsuki was...well, being Mitsuki, she was still smiling and under control, but under that there was a faint hint of panic on her face.
The plane dropped, evoking a whole new round of cries from the terrified passengers. Kazu had made it back, and his face was flushed red from the effort.
"Shit! What's happening?" He immidietly fastened his seatbelt and sighed in relief.
"I guess the-" the aircraft dropped once again, and Izumi felt sick to her stomach as the plane bumped and rattled roughly to a stop.
"...that." She finished, breathless.
The exit doors were already open, and before she knew it they were being ushered out of the plane. Yoshitaka, however, opened the compartment above and dragged out a suitcase.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Kazu and Izumi shouted in unison as Yoshitaka carried the luggage out of the plane.
"My god, did you want to be killed?" The young maid was furious.
"Why?" He asked, with a sly look on his face. "You wanted me to live? I thought you hated-"
Another of Izumi's punches silenced him. "It isn't the time to be thinking about that!"
She turned her attention to Kazu, Anna, Mitsuki and Pochi, who were surveying the island they had landed on. It was a small stretch of san with few trees, and she had no idea how they're get off.
As soon as she was noticed by them, Anna's face lit up as she ran towards Izumi, embracing her.
"Oh, Izumi-chan! I was so worried! I thought something bad had happened! Don't worry!"
"Guh...Okay, Anna-chan, you can get off me now.."
While Anna was busy squeezing the life out of Izumi, Mitsuki walked up with a smile on her face, along with the rest of them. "Well, we made it safely. I'm sure Pochi can give us a ride, right Pochi?"
He nodded and immediately lay on his back, having a slight nosebleed as the girls sat on top of him.
"Oh, that won't be necessary." Kazu said, just as Yoshitaka was trying to squeeze on. He made a ring with his fingers and put them in his mouth, emitting a shrill whistle.
"What was that for?" Izumi rubbed her temples, her ears ringing.
Just then, an enourmous whale burst from under the surface of the water and cheers erupted from the crowd of people as they gleefully hopped on. Pochi grumbled when his chance was taken away, and Yoshitaka was right with him scowling.
"Don't worry, Master." Mitsuki grinned. "Kazu may have shown you up but I'm sure you'll have a chance next time."
He just grunted. As the last person climbed aboard, Yoshitaka was stopped by Kazu.
"I'm afraid this is the most he can take. You have a suitcase, too." He gestured to the bag.
"So you're saying...I have to stay..."
"...Ride your alligator." For the first time Yoshitaka caught a glimpse of another side of Kazu - yes, it was obvious that there was something to be suspicious about here. Or he just hated his guts, since there was obviously plenty of room left on the whale. He was pondering using it against him, until he realized that Izumi- er, none of them would believe him.
"...Damnit..." Yoshitaka cursed as he climbed aboard Pochi, who was crying since it wasn't Izumi riding on him.
As the devastated alligator and perverted young master sailed on the waves beside the whale, both were deep in thought.
Pochi was regretful he wasn't smaller. Like a bunny, or something. And why not? He could hide in the girls' rooms while...Well at least his nosebleed wasn't visible in the dark water.
But Yoshitaka was even deeper in thought. Of course his thoughts might be blinded with the disapproval of Kazu that he had, but he was seriously beginning to doubt that Kazu was a good guy. And not just in personal ways, he added. No, there was something more.. Something that made Yoshitaka's spine tingle. The same thing that made him grab his suitcase on a whim - he couldn't afford to let it go. Not just yet... in case it ended up in the wrong hands.
(A/N: WHAT'S IN THE BAG? WILL THEY MAKE IT SAFELY? STAY TUNED-sorry, sorry, I know. :U )
