Oh god she hated airplanes. Not to say she held any particular hatred to the metal dead boxes themselves. No it was being crammed into said dead boxes with at least a hundred other people that Kagome Higurashi formally known as Satou hated with a passion.

But of course she wasn't complaining. No really the deafening screams of over excited children filling the air was actually quite soothing. At least they weren't kicking the back of her chair anymore.

Flipping thru an old magazine Kagome sighed. Why had she bothered? It wasn't like the year old Reader's Digest was helping at all, she still felt like she was goanna be sick all over the seat in front of her. Only now the old woman seated next to her would have something to send to the Funny Moments section of the afore mentioned magazine. Hell she might even send it! Easy way to make some quick cash anyway.

The unoiled sequel of old tires interrupting her thoughts, as a stewardess stopped next to her seat. A semi-fake smile adorning her plain face as her gray-blue eyes took in first the snoring man to her left then Kagome to her right before knelling down to whisper, "Good evening miss would you like some coffee?" She asked in a sugary sweet sing song voice.

"No thank you" Kagome answered, still not entirely sure her stomach could hold solids let alone liquids! The stewardess's smile faded slightly as she straitened, using one hand to place the blonde curl that had escaped the tight bun at the nap of her neck back where it belonged while the other smoothed out the wrinkles in her blue stewardess outfit.

"Well if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask. We should be landing in just a moment." With that said she walked on repeating the same line over and over again to each seat she pass before disappearing behind a blue curtain in the front of the plane. Kagome smiled slightly placing the forgotten magazine back in its compartment. No it probably wasn't all that funny that the poor woman had to repeat the same thing every day, but anything was worth a good laugh when one had nothing between them and the ground but a few thousand miles of open air.

"Attention passengers. We will be landing in 5 minuets at Tokyo National station, so I will ask at this time that you fasten you seat belts. Thank you." A few people looked up as the captain's bored voice filled the air, then went about their business as it died away as if it had never existed at all. Kagome snatched up her buckles and pushed them to gather, relaxing only after she heard a soft click. Oh God she hated flying! Dam it she couldn't even make it up more that 2 flights of stairs without feeling queasy!

A sudden jerk of the plane nearly undid her. Yes it was now official she was goanna throw up. And not the good find of throw up ether, where there is a toilet involved. And with a simple flush it would be gone like a bad memory. No this was the three thousand miles in the air trapped in a pressurized cabin kind of throw up.

Closing her eyes tightly, and clenching her teeth together, Kagome griped the arm rests at her sides and waited it out. Praying all the while that she could hold in just a little while longer.

5 minuets later and it was over. The tires of the plane made contact with the runway jerking the cabin again as the pilot applied his craft steering the massive loud machine along side the loading bay.

"At this time I would like to thank you for choosing to fly with…" The captains voice drawled in the background as Kagome finally open her eyes. She had made it! And alive to boot! "…please collect your things and…" Collect her things? Had she brought anything? Kagome looked up at the overhead compartment with questioning expression as if it should answer her internal thoughts.

"Would you like some help miss?" A boy no older that 14 asked, having noted the woman seated behind him still sitting there clutching the arm rest and looking confused as the other passengers started to clear out. Not waiting for an answer he look into the open compartment and grabbed the only thing he could see. A yellow backpack stuffed to the brim with lord only knew what, and placed it at her feet. "There now you already to go. Bye!" He shouted over his shoulder as his mother dragged him away scolding him for 'talking to strangers'.

Kagome stared at the yellow pack at her feet. Never again, she decided then. Never again was she sitting her ass in an air plane.
