"I'll be home....I'll be beside the phone, waiting for you~"
The angelic sound of Kira singing to her sister rang out. It'd be the last time they see each other for a while. The small girl next to Kira bopped her head around to the sweet noise, while the car finally came to a stop.

"Sissy, do you have to leave?!" Veronica, Kira's younger sister asked wistfully.

"Unfortunately I do...but that still doesn't mean you get my room, you dork!" Kira gave her a soft punch in the arm and got out of the car. It made Veronica giggle gleefully, so it lightened the mood. The last thing Kira wanted was for her sister to be sad...she cared so much about her.

Veronica scooted over to watch Kira unpack her bags from the back and get them ready. "So your gonna get married in another country?! I bet your husband is ugly!"
"Oh be quiet you little shit! I'm sure father picked out a fine man for me to marry..." Kira laughed sneeringly and smiled up at her parents in the front seat. She was taking off to another country for her arranged marriage, that's why they were at an airport.
"He is..." her father mumbled before telling his wife to go and help Kira. "He's a nice young man, and you should get along quite well. He's rather wealthy so make sure to be extra nice." He hardily laughed to himself.

Kira's mother was practically in tears by now, since her little girl was grown up and getting married now. Gloomily she picked up the bags and turned to face her daughter. "Oh Hunny, I'm so worried for you, this is your first time flying alone, your getting married and by the next Ill see y-you..." tears started to fall down her eyes. "-You'll probably have a baby already!" Her mother just began to break down.

Kira just cringed her face, and watched, as the disaster unfolded right beneath her eyes. "Mom...I'm sorry, but we all grow up eventually...and it doesn't matter if I have a family when I come back to meet you or not, I'll still love you nonetheless. You're my mother and it won't ever change..." Kira embraced her and nuzzled into her neck. The cozy warm hug lasted for a while before they both finally broke back.

"Oh gosh, look at me all emotional... I guess you're right, it's time my baby bird leaves the nest..." Her mother knit her eyebrows together and sighed. "I imagine I will have a couple of kids when I came back though!" Kira bantered with her mom. She didn't seem to like it though because she nearly fell over on the spot.

Her father spoke up slightly. "Kira, stop pulling on your mother's leg, and get over there! Don't want you to miss your flight." he scornfully said. To which Kira bowed her head and picked up her bags. On her way in anxiety finally started to hit her.

"I'm not ready...." She mumbled to herself while standing in line for a security scan. 'I'm not ready at all...I want to go back. I'm not ready for a relationship with someone I don't know! What if I don't like the guy! I don't wanna marry him for his money, I'd rather kill myself! It's so stupid! Besides I'll miss my family....my little sister...even though you're a pain in the ass sometimes...I can admit-' her thoughts were interrupted by the airport employee asking her to place her bags on the luggage scanner.

While they were going through her bag something caught the attention of the security.
"Ma'am, what's this?" He held up a small ziplock baggie of mushrooms.
"It's my medication...I need it sometimes for my anxiety..."
"....."
".........."
They stared at each other awkwardly.
"Doctors prescription." Kira coughed out trying to make it seem more believable.
He raised an eyebrow but frankly wasn't paid enough to look more into it. So he placed it down and picked up another thing.
Kiras face heated up and her eyes stared at him as if he was crazy.
"Do you....do you uhh...not know what that is?"
"No. No, I don't, and I'm not sure if an object like thi-" he pushed something down and the gadget started to vibrate.
Quickly the security guard shut it off and shoved it down in the bag. "You can leave to your gate now, miss."
