...We Could...

Fumi Thirty-One!

I rushed around, hurrying about as I made sure all I needed was with me. I clutched my carry-on bag in one hand as I made sure my sun hat was perched on my head. I popped my head into my room and found that my three bags had been taken. That was good, but were they in the car??

I clopped across the hard tile of the bathroom floor to meet up with Eri.

"Have you seen our bags?" I asked, panting.

"They were taken to the car, last I knew," she answered, picking through her art collection to try and choose which items to take with her and which to leave behind. "Why?"

"Just keeping track. Want snacks?"

"Aren't we taking a private jet?"

I shook my head. "The boys wanted to know how 'commoners' do it..." I sighed. "I made them swear to take the private jet on the way back, though."

She nodded once. "Good. They may want to be more like us, but we'd like the luxury of richness, too."

I smiled, rushing out to the kitchen to get a snack pail ready.

"Pocky," I murmured, rummaging in the cupboards and selecting a box before stashing it into by bag. "Rice candy... Onigiri... Sweets... Fruits..."

"And cake!" came Honey's request. I pitched forward and quickly shot my hands out to come to a halt on the counter before my head could crack on the cupboard.

"Ack! Honey-senpai!" I exclaimed, looking back as best I could only to see the blond peeking out from above my hat with a grin. I sighed with a smile and gently lowered him down to the floor.

"I have some cupcakes that I can bring," I stated. "Would you like that?"

"Yay~!" he giggled, prancing away with Usa-chan.

I shook my head and took some of the frosted cupcakes from the counter nearby and placing them gently in a box so they wouldn't be crushed. Then that went into the bag and it all got slung over my shoulder.

"Nami-chan! Nami-chan, we're leaving! Hurry up!"

"Coming!" I called, double-checking my bags before whirling around and running smack-strait into something tall and comfy.

"MPH!" I exclaimed, hurriedly scampering back and looking up at the one I ran into.

"I am sorry, Nami-sama," Kyoya apologized, holding his hands out frozen like he was going to catch me if I fell. "I came to check if you needed any help."

I was about to shake my head in denial, but then I remembered to allow gentlemen to be gentlemen and nodded, handing him the snack bag.

"Here--you can keep these from Honey-senpai," I smiled.

He returned the smile and accepted the bag before holding out his hand.

"Shall we be off, Princess?" he asked quietly.

Of course I blushed. And, of course, I couldn't speak... I just nodded dumbly and accepted his hand. Kyoya chuckled out of amusement and lead me out the building and helped me into the limo where I settled in next to Kaoru and Eri. Kyoya climbed in across from me, smiled, and then nodded to the driver to leave.

We were on our way to Europe!

When we got to the airport, Eri, Haruhi, and I all had to help the "richies" through customs. It wasn't too embarrassing, and thankfully we were able to get onto the airplane peacefully. It seemed as if it wasn't going to be all that bad of a flight, after all.
