Chapter 1

"A Mile Away From Paradise"

"Thank goodness, we're finally here!!!"

………………………………………………………………………

"Your ticket, please, sir."

Uh oh, Kaoru thought to himself. 'Can Shinobu speak English?' He quietly nudged his younger brother. 'I totally forgot that we're in an airport for English tourists! Stupid Shinobu! If he hadn't woken up so late, we could have made it to the flight at the Japanese airport. If this wasn't the fastest flight to New York…' he thought, silently fuming.

"Hey Shinobu, can you speak English?"

"Sir, your ticket please. I need it for you to be able to enter the plane."

The usherette was getting impatient and so were the other people behind them. The line was slowly growing longer. Kaoru was beginning to panic for fear that they might cause a national public incident.

"Mou ichido itte kudasai (I beg your pardon?)?" Kaoru asked timidly.

"I'm sorry sir. I think you don't speak English. Is that it?" The usherette asked, trying her best to reach an understanding with the two.

Shinobu suddenly woke up from his daydreaming and stood up, getting everyone's attention. He suddenly began spouting poetry…English poetry.

"I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference…by Robert Frost."

Shinobu sat back down as Kaoru joyously patted him on the back.

"That was great!" he exclaimed in Japanese. 'I'm thankful that this idiot's flowing with talent.'

The usherette smiled at Shinobu as she asked in English, "Are you both Japanese?"

"Karewa Nihonjin desushi, watashi mo sou desu (He is Japanese, and so am I.)." Shinobu answered.

"You spoke to her in Japanese?" Kaoru asked incredulously.

"Well, she is Japanese." Shinobu answered blankly.

"Wait…what?! Then why did you suddenly start speaking English?!" Kaoru asked, still not getting the point.

"Oh, that? Nothing. I just felt like it." Shinobu scratched his head with embarrassment.

'So there WAS no point...' Kaoru said to himself.

"Hey, wake up! You're holding up the line."

A girl with pink hair in pigtails began shouting from near the back of the line. She was jumping up and down impatiently while a guy with numerous piercings was trying to restrain her.

"Come on, will you pay attention? That guy looks scary." He elbowed Kaoru in the ribs. For once, Shinobu's the one who's actually attentive.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Stupid guy! He has absolutely no business going to a country where they don't understand the language. Miwako has a good mind to give them a good punch!" Miwako said edgily.

"Hey, stop it, Miwako. It's getting embarrassing." Arashi tried to calm her down as the line moved forward again.

"Guys, if you don't stop that, we'll be the next bunch of people who'll hold up the line." George suddenly said.

Arashi and Miwako stopped arguing as they looked at George and sweatdropped. They knew how much George took these things seriously. George was really good at hiding his emotions, which made it worse. If the time came that they would see George get heated…they didn't even want to think about it!

"Acting as if he was all that." Yukari said, seemingly out of nowhere, to no one.

"Oh well, he is the prince after all." Miwako said. Apparently she didn't catch the sarcasm.

"Yeah, the prince of moodiness." Yukari added under her breath.

"Look who's talking." George said with his typical arrogant tone. His eyes caught Yukari's and they glared at each other with ultimate revulsion.

"Hey, what are you guys babbling about? You're the ones holding up the line!" Arashi yelled from a few meters away.

The glowering pair frowned at one another before turning away to face opposite directions. At this stage of their breakup, they still hadn't quite gotten along.

"Hey Yukari, you can understand English, right? Can you come here and talk to this lady?" Miwako asked.

"Now look who's asking for help." Arashi teased her.

"I'm coming!" Yukari said. She talked to the usherette for a while.

"You guys! She's Japanese!" She explained.

"And good-looking." George said quietly with a grin, as if meant to tease a certain somebody.

Yukari momentarily looked at George as she aimed a slightly provoked look in his direction and rolled her eyes, she shook her head and continued, "Maybe that's what the confusion with those two guys was about."

"Probably. In any case, we should go now." Arashi interjected to head off any further argument.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I can't find our seats." Shinobu whined.

"Maybe, if you actually tried looking for it, you'd find it!" an exasperated Kaoru said.

"Hey, there's that lady from the line! Ask her, she'd know," Shinobu said, nudging Kaoru until he was face to face with her.

"Hello sir," she greeted them, looking surprised. "Is there something you need?" she asked them in Japanese.

'At least there's less pressure.' Kaoru thought with relief. "Ummm, we can't find our seats. Can you help us please?" He asked feeling a little nervous.

The usherette smiled and asked for their ticket numbers. Kaoru handed her their tickets and she examined them. A few seconds later, she was startled as she looked at them blankly, then she looked at the tickets once more. She giggled, making the two clueless brothers feel uncomfortable.

"Oh I'm sorry about that." She smiled as she gestured to the seats beside them, "Please proceed to the seats just to your left."

Kaoru was left stunned as Shinobu proceeded merrily to the seats appointed to them.

'That was a major embarrassment.' Kaoru thought. Moments later, he recovered from the shock and started yelling at Shinobu, "Can't you at normal!? Als- huh?"

All his yelling was pointless. Shinobu had already fallen asleep, his head resting on the round window on his left. Kaoru finally gave up as he sat down when he felt something hard on his backside. He stood up to check what it was and groaned, seeing one of Shinobu's heavy bags from before.

Kaoru took a deep breath as he picked it up. He sat down and placed it on his lap.

A few minutes later, Shinobu was still sleeping. Out of utter boredom, Kaoru had an idea to check his brother's bag for something that can kill time. He opened the bag's zipper and peeped inside. It was so messy that he couldn't even identify the contents. He probed deeper with his right hand, guessing what's inside until he touched something furry and immediately assumed that it was a tangled roll of thread.

Knowing Shinobu, he would've brought something like that. Kaoru tried to disentangle the…whatever it was, from his hand, but no luck, it was stuck!

"How troublesome." Kaoru attempted to shake it off a few more times when he finally lost his patience. He quickly pulled his hand out of the bag,

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
