I'm Leavin' on A Jet Plane...
Ren, Kuu, Minato and Kizu loaded the luggage up onto the cart while Juliena, and Kyoko did a last minute run through. Tina just sat on the couch craddeling her cup of tea.
Kyoko sat down next to her and gave her a hug. "You want some crackers?" Tina closed her eyes and gave her a tired smile. "Thanks Kyoko-chan, I think I'm just tired." She nodded.
Minato looked over a couple minutes later and smiled. He tapped Ren on the shoulder and then motioned over toward the couch.
Ren smiled, pulledpulled his cell out and took a photo. He tapped his dad with his foot. Kuu looked up and then over to were they were looking. He pulled his phone out too.
Tina and Kyoko were asleep on the couch with their heads reasting against each other.
"You got this dad?" Ren asked Kuu while sharing a smile with Minato.
"Yes." Kuu said knowing what Ren was planning on doing.
Minato walked over toward the couch and gently picked Tina up without waking her up. Ren was right next to him, scooping Kyoko up into his arms.
Juliena smiled at then. She kissed her husband's cheek and said in a soft voice, "Kuon is such a gentelman." Kuu smiled down at her and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Yes he is."
She held the door open so that Kuu and Kizu could wheel the cart out the door and so that the two 'Gentelmen' would have enough room to carry their sleeping ladies. She smiled brightly as they walked out. She glanced at the room one last time and sang, "I'm leavin' on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again..."
KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKR
They arrived at the airport, Kyoko and Tina were still sleeping so they left them in the back seat while they unloaded the limo. When they were all ready, Minato and Ren picked them up again and carried them onto the plane.
The pilot turned to them, "We have thirty minutes before we can take off. Lory had a few changes made to the inside of the plane. Let me show you. Oh, name is Toshiro by the way." He said in a cheerful voice.
Everyone introduced themselves. "Nice to meet ya." He led them to the cabin area and they saw that a bed had been set up. "Lory heard that some one is pregnant, I am guess one of the sleeping ladies, so he had the bed installed. He also thought that it would be a good thing to have for long trips. Seeing as how this will be a five hour trip, someone might want to take a nap or somethin' like that. There is a mini bar to your left; fully stocked fridge to your right; bathroom is in the back; blankets and pillows are in this cabint right here and in case of an emergancy... Lory was too cheap to invest in parachuts and lifeboats... Thankfulky however Maria-chan wasn't. When she heard that you all were going to be taking the family plane she immidantly called me up and told me to get all of them. So I did. You all have nothing to worry about. Now, please, if you could wake up the two ladies for just five minutes while we take off, then we will get this show on the road! Woohoo!" Toshiro jumped about face and ran back to the cockpit.
Ren sweatdropped and looked over to his dad. "Remind me to buy Maria-chan a big suvinior present as a thank you." Minato nodded in aggrement and set Tina down in a chair.
"Tina, time to wake up." "Kyoko, time to wake up." Both girls groaned and looked at them with sleepy eyes. "What Minato-kun/Kuon-kun?" "We are about to take off so we need you awake and buckled in." Tina buckled her seat belt while Ren helped a still sleepy Kyoko with her's.
Kyoko jerked up and startled Ren so badly that he jumped a few feet. "What the! Kyoko what the hell was that for?" He asked as he grabbed his chest, his eyes wide. She looked at him and her lips twitched in amusement. "Sorry... I just realised that we were at the airport." Ren shook his head and just sat down next to her. "Did anybody bring any cards? I have a feeling it is going to be a long trip."
"This is your captain speaking. We have been cleared for take off in two minutes. So let me give you he basic rules for during take off. Stay in your seat. Wear your seat belt. No horseplaying. .wait...that only applies to Lory. No calls during take off or landing.. if you need to make a call at any time please use the phone that can be found on the mini bar. And green light mwans Go! Buckle your seat belts and hold on to your butts kids. This is gonna be a bumpy ride. I just got my license!"
Everyone grabbed their seats and started praying while cursing Lory at the same time.
KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKR
Three hours into their ride, they had a fierce game of poker going. They had changed the rules up a bit, couple against couple. Minato and Tina were in third place having lost two thousand yen. Kuu and Juliena were in second having lost one thousand. Ren and Kyoko were in first and kicking ass.
They had just finished that hand when Tina grabbed her mouth. She got up and ran to the toilet. Minato got up and got a glass of cold water for her. Juliena and Kyoko grabbed a few pillows for the bed. Kuu and Ren just sat at the table looking lost.
Tina came out and drank a few sips of water. Minato stretched out on the bed and she laid her head in his lap. "You okay babe?" "Yeah. Though I think it will be a good idea not to stress myself too much during this trip."
Juliena handed her a damp cloth and said, "Some mothers just don't handle morning sickness all that well dear." Tina looked up at her and smiled weakly. "Think I might be one?" She asked jokingly. Minato ran his hand thru her hair and said in a serious voice, "Is it wrong for me to say that I don't want you to continue to work in security while pregnant?" She looked at him and said, "I turned my regsignition into Kizu before we left last night. He said that he will file it after we get back and that I would be welcome back anytime. He offered me a desk position." Minato kissed her forehead. "Good ol' dad."
Kyoko walked over with a tray and said, "Tina, I have some soup if you would like sone." Tine sat up and eyed it. "I'll try it Kyoko-chan... But no guarentees that I will finish it or be able to keep it down." The young actress nodded and placed the tray in her lap.
Tina took a spoonful. She took another and another. "My God Kyoko, what is in this soup?! It is amazing." She forwent the spoon and just drank it from the bowl. She was quickly finished and handed it back to the stunned girl, "Please Ma'am, may I 'ave some more?" Kyoko chuckled at her poor atempt at quoting Oliver and poured her another bowlful.
Tina polished that off quickly too. She smiled up at Kyoko and said, "Thank you. I feel much better. Just what is in that soup?"
Kyoko smiled at her and said, "I can't tell you, secret recipe and all that. I learned that when I was raised at the Fuwa's. They always whiped that up whenever a pregnant woman would come in and ask for something to settle her stomach. I thought I would give it a try."
Tina laid her head on Minato's shoulder and curled into his side. "Kyoko...That hit the spot. Baby likes that a lot. Thank you." She closed her eyes.
Kyoko smiled and handed a blanket to Minato who smiled at her. She then walked over to where Ren was sitting. He had moved from the table to one of the couches. He opened his arms and pulled her to him. He kissed her forehead and said, "That was amazing." She smiled and snuggled into his chest. He laid them down and they quickly fell asleep.
Juliena and Kuu watched everything happen from their seats near the back. "Kuu, we are going to be grandparents in less the eight months, and are gaining an amazing son-in-law. Then whenever Kuon and Kyoko get married...we will be gaining an extrodinary daughter-in-law... I think we are blessed." He kissed her hair and got up to cover is sleeping son and daughter with a blanket before gabbing one for him and Julie. He walked back to her and pulled her into his arms, "What to join me in slumber my dear wife?" "Why dear husband, I thought that you'd never ask."
KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKR
"THIS IS YOUR CAPTIAN SPEAKING. WAKE UP SLEEPYHEADS!"
Everybody jerked awake. Kyoko fell off the couch with Ren rolling ontop of her. "Ugh!" Minato jumped off the bed and landed in a fighting stance. Kuu slid out of his chair and landed on his butt Julie landed in his lap. Tina just lifted her head, walked over to the speaker phone and pressed the button for he cockpit. "WE ARE AWAKE JACKASS!"
"My appologies. Am I correct in assuming that the lady who yelled at me is the pregnant one?"
"You assume correctly. Now why did you have to wake us up?"
"If you look to your left you will see land. We will be landing in about...say...oh...five minutes... I thought that I would wake you guys up so that you could return to your chairs and buckle in."
"Thank you for the rude awakening. Bastard."
"Thank you! We just got the green light to land so please buckle up!"
Everyone got to their seats and buckled in. They felt the wheels hit the runway and then the plane slow down and finally come to a complete stop.
"We are here Ladies and Gentelmen. Thank you for flying Air Bastard!"
KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKR
They disembarked and quickley unloaded the luggage. There was a limo already waiting for them. Kuu chuckeld when he saw the man standing next to it. "David!"
David Hasseloff stared at the group with wideeyes. He walked over to Kuu "Damn Kuu, I thought you were joking when you said you were bringing a few people." Kuu smiled and shook his hand. "Nope. You remember Kuon?"
David stared at the six foot five inches man in the group for a second then looked at Kuu. Then back at the man. "THAT'S KUON!? THE LITTLE PRINCE OF DARKNESS?!" He looked back at Kuon who was now smirking. "Great... I'm guessing he's the king of it now."
Ren smirked and raised is other eyebrow. "Don't worry, I won't paint your house green and purple again."
"Please and thank you." David said sarcasticly while smiling at him. "So, shall we get introductions out of the way first or shall we go to the limo?"
Kyoko smiled and stepped forward, "Hello, my name is Mogami...sorry, Kyoko Mogami." He smiled amd shook her hand, "Nice to meet you Kyoko. I am a fan of your work. Everytime a new episode of your drama airs; Kuu calls me up to brag about his 'amazing, beautiful, smart, talented and wonderful' daughter." Kyoko turned to Kuu, 'Father, you must have been sparkeling when you said that."
Kuu laughed and hugged her. "David, you remember Tina?" David nodded. "Nice to see you after three years Tina. I must say that you look radiant."
"Cool your jets there fly boy, this is my fiancè Minato Mogami." Tina said as she hugged David. He chuckled and said, "If he can hold you down...all the more power to him Hellcat."
Minato turned to Ren, "Who the hell is this guy?" Ren chuckled as he replied, "David Hasseloff, mom and dad's manager for the past...seven years now I guess. He and Tina grew up with the same foster family."
"Foster family?" Kyoko asked quietly. "Not my place to tell Kyoko."
David turned to everyone and clapped his hands. "Who's hungry?"
Tina glared at him, "Don't mention food around me." He looked at her with questioning eyes. Ren placed his arm around David and said, "Minato knocked her up." He pulled his camera out and watched as David chased Minato around in circles.
"Hizuri! I'm going to kick you ass!" Minato called out to him.
"I learned from the best! Thank your sister for the idea!"
"Kuon!" "Kyoko!" "Hey guys! I'm hungry! Get your butts in the car or we are leaving." Juliena yelled from the limo. The four paused and looked at her.
"Day one: Ten minutes after disembarking Mom has already had to get onto three of us. This is going to be an interesting vacation."
"KUON! Put the camcorder away and get in the limo."
"I feel like I'm five again." Ren said as he got in and pulled Kyoko into his side.
KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKR
After a thirty minute drive the pulled up to big gate that had a huge H in the middle of it. Ren looked out the window and mumbled "Home sweet home."
Kuu patted his shouler while Julieba patted his knee. Kyoko looked at him and kissed his chin. He looked at her, "Ya missed ya know?" he said as he kissed her softly. "That's what should have happened."
She smirked and kissed his chin again. "Nope. I aimed for excatly what I wanted. I wanted your chin and I got your chin."
He smiled and held her close to him as the limo came to a stop. He opened the door and helped her out.
She gasped as she looked at the house where he grew up in. It was a two story mansion. There were two colloms near the front door and the second floor had a balcony, that had ivy growing along the sides of it.
Ren looked at where she was looking. "My old room. The ivy made it easy to sneak out of it either during the day or night. Never did escape the guards though..."
"You had a room that had a balcony...?"
"Wait till you see the inside. Everyone else is in there already. Oh, everyroom has a balcony. Dad designed it that way."
"Father built this house?!" She asked as she followd him inside. "Yup. He also had a few secret passages built. Dad is like a little child on the inside."
"Though those secret passages did save you more then a few times when you were younger." Kuu said in a serious voice as they entered the living room.
"What does he mean Kuon?" she asked. Ren sent his father a glare and sighed. "When I was younger...four...five...and six there were several attempts to kidnap me. If I remember correctly thirteen... They succeeded once; when I was six. Only because I had been running a high fever and couldn't see straight."
"I got a call while at work saying that Kuon had been kidnapped...hell...I think I ran out of that door doing ninety and hopped onto my motorcycle. I did one hundred all the way here. Almost got pulled over but I evaded them. I arrived home and found the FBI already here and my wife being treated for a broken arm and gash on her forhead and Indy had been tranqued. Kuon was missing for two days before they found him."
Juliena leaned against Kuu and said, "We were all worried. Two days with no word or demand, then here he comes walking across the grounds all banged up and a wide smile plaster across his face."
"Kuon...what did you do?" Kyoko asked in a hesitant voice.
"You know me so well..." Ren said smirking. Kuu chuckled.
"When the police found the people responsible for taking him... They found them all with black eyes, broken arms, broken toes, broken noses, and tied up with floss."
"Oh, is that picture still up in your office?" Juliena laughed, "Hung it right behind his chair."
"Wait...you have a picture of the kidnappers?" Kyoko asked shocked.
"Yup. One of the cops was a family friend. He took a picture of them and dad blew the picture up. 'The last guys that messed wih my six year old son.'"
"Seems appropiate. I agree with Otou-san."
"Oh?"
"You really were a demon child. I can still see the horns."
"He was a demon child with really good teeth." A woman said as she stepped into the room.
Ren threw his head back and laughed. "Hellena! You're still around?!"
The woman, Hellena, was an elderly woman who was 5'6, wavy gray hair to her shoulders and peircing blue eyes. She looked over at Ren and said in a flat voice, "If I knew you were coming back Master Kuon, I would have hidden the keys to the gun cabinet and the keys to the garage."
Ren grabbed his chest and said in a hurt voice. "Hellena, you cut me quick to the heart. It's been six years."
She gave his a flat stare. "Six years since you took your dad's YAMAHA out in the middle of the night; six years since you and Rick took the guns to the shooting range and blew a twenty foot hole in the back wall of it."
"Okay...that hole...that was already there... Rick and I just...expanded...it. And the YAMAHA...well...It was just too tempting for a fifteen year old."
"Exactly. I am hiding the keys now." Hellena said turnning around. She paused at the entrance way and turned around. "Nice to see you again Master Kuon. Try not to burn the house down during your stay."
"Roger. Nice to see you too Hellena." He turned to Kuu, "You still have your old YAMAHA?" Kuu smiled and pulled out his key chain.
"MASTER KUU! DON'T YOU DARE LET THAT BOY NEAR THE CARS! OR CYCLES!"
Ren's eyes gleamed. "Cycles? As in more then one?" "Tomorrow. We still need to show everyone around."
Ren nodded and grabbed his and Kyoko luggage. "Are Kyoko and I staying in my old room?" Kuu nodded, so Ren led Kyoko away.
He turned to Tina and Minato. "Tina, you two are in your old room." She nodded and Minato grabbed their stuff before they too left.
"Guess it's just you and me huh wifey?" He said as he hugged his wife. She laughed and kissed his cheek.
KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKR
Ren led Kyoko up the stairs and to his old room. He set their stuff on the bed while she paused to look around the room. It was covered in rock posters, and a couple of basketball posters. He had several thriller and mystery novels on a bookself and on a desk he had a cd player that had several CD cases stacked next to it. A typical teenager's room.
Ren laid back on the bed and sighed. She walked over and laid down next to him. "Memories?" "Yeah. And not all good." She sat up and pulled him up. He blinked at her in question. "This is my first time here, is it too early to ask for a tour?" She asked in an inocent voice. He pulled her into his lap, "If you trying to find a way to distract me...it's working. Let's go ask Dad if we can borrow a car." He looked them over and said, "But first...let's change into something more suted for the weather here."
They quickly changed clothes and ran down the stairs. Ren had to twist his body to the right so he didn't crash into Minato as he was walking across the hallway.
"What the! Kuon! Get your ass back here!" Minato chased after Ren while Tina and Kyoko just stroled leiseraly behind them.
Kyoko turned to Tina, "Where are you two headed?"
"I was going to show Minato some of my old favorite places."
"That's what Kuon was going to do. He was running to ask Father is he could borrow a car."
"Hm... want to join us?" Tina asked as the entered the living room. Kyoko was about to answer the paused as she took in the scene the was presented before the two of them.
{{{{{A/N: 4-13-13 Okay... I finally finished this chapter. ...I was distracted by a few other things that have been going on. I appologize.
May I just say, about Chapter 199...THE ENDING SUCKS! not the unlocking of the box but her falling off the cliff. REN! YOU SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT HER AND SAID "HELL NO! NO MORE RUNNING MOGAMI-SAN!"
FOR GOD'S SAKE! GET THESE TWO TOGETHER ALREADY! After 199 chapters, we are all on our seats, waiting..panting...ITCHING! for these two to come to their senses!
