Alright, next chapter up. It's a little more of a filler, but things are starting to get a little heated. After the dinner things will get a lot more heated, so be prepared! Thanks for all the lovely reviews! I'm glad you like the story! Read and review!

Non, rien rien, non je ne regrette rien...I don't own this awesome song either, so don't think that I own Inception!


As they departed the plane, all of them were on high alert. Arthur made sure to keep Ariadne close and Dom was holding one child in each arm. He couldn't risk them being taken now. Eames stay closer to Arthur and Ariadne and Yusuf was trailing closely behind Dom.

As soon as they were outside the airport, a huge black limo was there waiting for them. Saito was sitting inside patiently, waiting for all of them to make their way into his expensive vehicle.

"Ah, Mr. Cobb. Good to see you again, unfortunately it has to be under these unfortunate circumstances." Saito greeted Dom.

"Actually it's Oliaro. We need to keep our aliases while we are traveling. Until we can sort things out with Cobol, we have to go by our aliases." Dom corrected Saito.

Saito nodded and turned to Eames. "Who's the tourist now?"

Eames snickered and held out his hand. "Touche."

Ariadne chuckled and Arthur shook his head. "And I see that you two are now married. Congratulations." Saito turned to them and smiled, eyeing Ariadne. Ariadne turned to Arthur and beamed.

"Thank you."

"Enough chat, we need to get to a safe place, go shopping, and change our appearances. As soon as we have all of that done we can meet again." Dom quickly changed the subject, ready to get into things.

Saito nodded. "I will take you to my hotel, security is extra tight there, you shouldn't have to worry. Then I'll have my men drop you off at one of my stores and you can get what you like."

"Thank you." Dom nodded, watching as his children looked out the windows wide-eyed.

"I'm going to have to cut my hair." Arthur whispered to Ariadne. Her head snapped up and she looked at him, her eyes wide.

"Arthur, are you sure?" Ariadne practically shrieked, but lowered her voice when the others looked at her. She blushed. "Sorry." She turned back to Arthur and he nodded.

"It will grow back. And it's necessary." Arthur replied. Ariadne ran a hand through his hair and sighed.

"Just how short are you planning on cutting it?" She asked nervously.

"Pretty short. A comb won't be necessary." Arthur answered. She gasped quietly.

"I'm going to miss your hair." She frowned and ruffled his hair playfully. "You better give me some time to spend with it." She joked.

"I won't cut it until tomorrow if you like." Arthur offered. She nodded and began playing with her hair. "I'll have to cut mine too. Try something different."

"Just don't cut it too short." Arthur begged. Ariadne smiled.

"I don't think I could handle that." Ariadne said, shaking her head and looking at Dom.

"Dom, are you cutting your hair?" She asked. Dom narrowed his eyes at her.

"Are you kidding? I've had this hair since I was like twelve. There's no way I'm changing it now."

Ariadne had to keep herself from laughing. That sure was a long time to keep his hair the same. She shook her head and looked at Eames.

Eames shook his head. "Darling, you don't mess with a British's hair. Besides, it's already short as it is. There's not much more I can do to it besides going bald, which I will never do."

Arthur laughed and Eames glared at him. "Sorry, that was just a funny picture. I say you give it a try."

Eames scowled and turned to Yusuf. "Yusuf here will have to cut his hair."

"What?" Yusuf looked shocked.

"Sorry love, but you're going to have to. Seeing as two of us aren't and the other two are. You're the only one left."

Yusuf shuddered then nodded. "Fine." He crossed his arms and ignored everyone the rest of the way.

Once they arrived at the hotel, Ariadne quickly made her way to their room and collapsed on the bed.

"Ugh! I'm so tired. Do we have to go shopping today?" Ariadne whined.

Arthur frowned. "Why? Are you not feeling well?" He sat down next to her and stroked her hair.

"I'm fine. Just tired and hungry. Ooh, let's get food!" Ariadne sat up, a little too quickly, and stumbled. Arthur was at her side immediately, steadying her.

"I stood up too fast, I'm fine." Ariadne assured him. Arthur eyed her suspiciously before finally letting her go. She walked into the bathroom and cleaned up before coming out.

There was a knock on the door as she exited the bathroom. Arthur opened it.

"Are you guys ready?" He asked, stepping into the room. Ariadne nodded to Arthur and Arthur turned to Dom.

"Yes, can we stop and get food. She's hungry." Dom looked at Ariadne and she looked down blushing.

Dom grinned. "Sure. I remember those days." He chuckled as he turned to walk out, both Arthur and Ariadne close behind him.

"Are you ready to get the treatment of the rich and famous?" Eames asked gleefully. Ariadne shook her head, the most she'd ever dressed up was at the wedding. And even then it wasn't that much.

"I'll help you pick something out." Eames winked at her. Arthur glared.

"Uh, no you will not." He sneered.

"Yes I will, she needs something that will hug her curves and bring out her eyes." Eames grinned.

"Don't I have a say in this?" Ariadne asked, raising her eyebrow at Eames.

"No. You're going to love it, besides you need to show off your curves before the baby bump starts to show." Eames declared.

Ariadne glared at him, she smacked him on the stomach.

"Oomf! What was that for?" Eames turned to her shocked. Arthur had to keep the grin off his face, but failed miserably.

"For reminding me that I'm going to be fat!" Ariadne retorted.

"Should've kept your mouth shut." Dom told Eames, also grinning. "Ignore Eames, he's an idiot." Dom told Ariadne. Ariadne sighed and shook her head.

"He's right though. Let's just get this over with." Ariadne slouched. Arthur grabbed her hand and laced their fingers together.

"How about I pick how you get your hair cut? You'll love it, trust me." Arthur whispered into her ear. She nodded.

"Do you know how long it took me to grow out my hair? I'm not looking forward to cutting it that's for sure."

"You'll look beautiful either way." Arthur grinned.

Eames spotted the perfect dress for Ariadne. All of them couldn't deny that she would look amazing in it. It was a light green dress that had a slit just above her collarbone. It was tightly fit and just a little shorter than knee length. Ariadne was reluctant at trying it on at first, but she had to admit she did like it.

When she came out all the men grinned, Arthur walking up to her he ushered her to a mirror.

"I gotta say, Eames does have good taste."

Ariadne laughed and turned sideways, liking the way it looked. "I guess I'm set then."

"Alright."

Ariadne helped the men find their suits. Arthur's was a gray color with a charcoal button up shirt and a gray bowtie. His shoes were black and just as shiny as the rest he owned. Ariadne smiled as she watched as Arthur checked himself in the mirror. He never ceased to amaze her. He managed to make everything look good, and him in a suit was something she would never get tired of. It's what made Arthur, Arthur.

Ariadne noticed the way his suit fit him perfectly. It wasn't too baggy or too tight, and she knew that helping him find his suit was a good idea. She could enjoy that later.

Eames had a dark gray suit with a matching striped button up shirt. His shoes were also black. Ariadne grinned. Eames could look just as sophisticated as Arthur if he wanted to, but he chose not to.

Dom found a black suit with a white button up shirt and black skinny tie. Ariadne admired the fact that Dom could pull off a suit and looked great. Had he been younger, hadn't had children, and hadn't lost his wife tragically; he would have been someone she'd be interested in. But when she turned back to Arthur, she knew that she wouldn't want to be with anyone else.

Yusuf managed to find a tan suit with a white button up shirt and brown shoes. Ariadne was satisfied with her choice. Yusuf even showed gratitude in her taste. Giving her a small smile he changed back into his clothes and waited for everyone else to finish up.

They all looked great. And Ariadne was impressed with how amazing they all looked. Saito met up with them after they finished shopping and smiled at their choices.

"Great taste." He complimented them. He turned to Ariadne. "Let's get you to the salon and have your hair cut. Arthur's turn will have to be later unfortunately, as well as Yusuf's."

Ariadne sighed and looked at Arthur. "I'm coming with you guys. I have something in mind." Arthur told Saito. Saito nodded and led them to his car.

"You can go with my men, they'll take you back to the hotel. Dom your kids are safe there."

Dom nodded and got into the other car with Eames and Yusuf. He waved to them and gave Arthur a look saying, "watch your back." Arthur's head moved barely and Dom sighed. He didn't like the idea of them splitting up.

Arthur looked over his shoulder and saw the man that had been following them at the airport. Once in the car he turned to Saito.

"We need to lose a tail, we've been followed since the airport." Arthur told him.

"What?" Ariadne shrieked. "And you failed to tell me this why?"

Saito watched them. "We'll lose them." He turned to his driver and spoke to him in Japanese.

"I'm sorry, but you just got out of the hospital and I wanted to save you the stress." Arthur explained, trying to calm her down.

Ariadne glared at him. "Where is he? I want to see what he looks like."

Arthur hesitated. "Tell me!" Ariadne demanded.

Arthur sighed and gave in. "He's behind us. Brown wavy hair. Khaki pants. Button up shirt."

Ariadne turned around and paled. Arthur noticed this and turned her towards him.

"Ari? Have you seen him before?" He asked. Ariadne shook her head. "Are you sure?"

"How much farther to the salon?" Ariadne asked Saito, avoiding Arthur's question. Arthur frowned, he knew she was hiding something from him, but decided to let it slide. They could talk about it later, in their hotel room.

"About ten minutes. If we lose the tail." Saito told her.

Ariadne leaned back and sighed. She crossed her arms and looked out the window, afraid of what she'd have to tell Arthur.

They finally lost their tail, and Ariadne was nervous about cutting her hair. Arthur told the stylist how to cut it and Ariadne waited nervously to see the outcome. When the stylist was done, she gasped. She actually liked her haircut.

Her bangs were cut and parted to the side, her hair was shoulder length, but they had put it up into a bun for her, leaving a face frame framing her delicate face. Soon after her hair cut, a make up artist came in and did her make up. She had smokey eyes and here eyeliner was darker than she'd ever had it before, but it looked good.

Arthur stared at her, unbelief taking over him. She truly was beautiful and he was glad she was all his. Saito smiled and led them out to the car again.

"Time to get ready for the press conference. We'll get dinner afterwards." Saito informed them. Ariadne nodded and looked over her shoulder worriedly, afraid of being confronted by the man, a man she hadn't seen in years.

Arthur noticed Ariadne's distant look and wondered just who exactly was following them that would cause her to become so frazzled. He sighed and checked over his shoulder too, but there was no sight of the man.

"Who does he think he is being with her?" Brendan angrily shouted at his assistant. "She is blind. She doesn't know what she's getting herself into. It's not safe to be in a relationship with him. Does she not know the price on his head? What he's done?"

Brendan's assistant recoiled in fear and shook his head, only hoping not to get hit by him. Brendan stalked off and thought of his plan. He would kidnap her if he could. It's the only way to keep her safe.

"Don't worry Ari, I'll protect you from him. Arthur doesn't have what it takes to take care of you. He's too dangerous." Brendan said to himself as he planned out his scheme.

Hmmmm...so who exactly is this mysterious Brendan? Stay tuned to find out...in the next few chapters...but for now review and let me know what you think! Oh and if you want to see what they look like, I have links on my profile...enjoy!
