Chapter 2 : Animal Crackers
The sun was high in the sky when Touru's plane finally touched the tarmac at Narita International Airport in Tokyo. She had slept a good portion of the trip and had no idea what time it was. When she had left California it had been early afternoon. Aside from a slight disorientation she felt very fresh and renewed. She couldn't wait to see everyone!
Touru rushed to grab her onboard luggage as the passengers began to disembark the plane. In her rush, her bags popped out of their compartment and knocked her back into the lap a middle aged man sitting in the aisle across from her. Instantly Touru's cheeks flamed red in embarassment and she gasped. She wriggled trying to get up and he grinned at her, relishing the feel of her bottom in his lap for a second before he set her back on her feet.
"Go-gomen-nasai, Oji-san!" She bowed to him and hastily collected her luggage and skulked off the plane before she caused herself furthur embarassment.
'I'm so clumsy! Ghha! I'm surprised I didn't chop my finger off in my culinary arts class last semester. Oh! That reminds me, what can I make them for dinner! They'll be so surprised!' Touru was proud of her new culinary skills and couldn't wait to show them what she had learned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The men in Touru's mind were waiting in agitation on the other side of the airport. They were all fidgeting silently as they watched passengers exit the flight gates. Kyo couldn't stand it any more. He stomped in a line, pacing in front of Shigure and Yuki like a caged tiger. "Where is that stupid girl already!?! You'd think we sent her away to New York she's taking so long!"
The complaint was loud and crass, drawing stares from the people around him. "Why did I have to come?! I didn't really want to see her anyways." Kyo turned around and swung his arms in the air in annoyance. He almost hit Touru in the face. She had just walked up and had been standing behind him in shocked silence as he ranted. Kyo froze with his mouth agape in front of Touru. His arms fell to his sides slowly, a flush stealing over his cheeks. The words crept out of his mouth in hushed tones only for her, "Tou..ru. I, I didn't mean..."
She brushed past him stealing herself from the pang his words had given her and forced a huge smile for Shigure and Yuki. "Tadaima!" Both Yuki and Shigure breathed a sigh of relief. Yuki stole a glance at Kyo and beamed at him because he was already one point down in the scale of Touru's affections and she hadn't even been in the country for a full hour yet.
The hair on the back of Kyo's neck bristled and he growled softly under his breath at Yuki. Touru heard the sound and looked back at Kyo who was scowling at Yuki. Kyo caught her glance and gave her a sheepish look before he grabbed her overnight bag and her arm, pulling her towards the exit. "Let's get out of this place already! These crowds are killing me. I just want to go home."
'Home.' Touru smilled at the thought and stopped resisting as Kyo pulled her in tow. Outside the car was waiting, flanked by a tall somber man with a cigarette and a smaller, brilliantly beautiful boy that waited next to it.
"Momigi-chan!" Touru's smile was beautiful and bright which made all of their hearts stop for a second.
"Touru!" The rabbit bounded right up to Touru and leapt into her arms without a second thought. Hatori reached out to stop him but the wiley rabbit slipped through his grasp. At the main exit terminal outside, in plain sight, a loud "poof" was heard and people all around turned to see a girl holding a very affectionate rabbit surrounded by several shocked men and a small heap of clothes.
No one thought the better of it. The one man who actually saw Momigi before he "poofed" into a rabbit blamed the sight on jet-lag from his long sleepless flight.
Yuki snatched up Momigi's clothes as discreetly as possible. Shigure and Kyo quickly rounded up the rest of Touru's luggage and Hatori rushed everyone into the car. Hatori was fuming at Momigi for choosing such a public place to show his affection, but when he looked in his rearview mirror and saw Touru petting the sleepy Rabbit in her arms, he knew that he could never be angry.
They had all missed her. Even Akito, but he would never breath a word of it to anyone. The drive home was long and they chattered for a while before everyone fell into a comfortable silence. Touru could feel Kyo watching her from the front seat like a scared cat.
She really didn't know what to think of his rant at the airport. It was extremely typical of Kyo to mean very little of what he said when he was angry or annoyed, but it had hurt. She had missed him so and to hear that he might not want to see her HURT. The cat was her childhood zodiac friend. The one she loved most of all the zodiac animals because he had suffered so much.
She looked up and caught the stare she had been feeling and the red velvet eyes she encountered made her breath catch. Kyo flushed and turned quickly. Touru looked down, but she knew that she was pink too. The rest of the ride was silent as everyone lost themselves in thought.
