When does the fighting end and life begin?

[a_different_k...@yahoo.com]

On one hand I'm so happy that more Maguar appeared, it means that at
least for now I don't have to leave Tsubasa or the family that I have
come to have as Hikaru Shiina but on the other hand I'm so sad because
I don't want Tsubasa to have to fight anymore. I wasn't sure how to
react when D.D. told us last night that he'd messed up but when that
mean Oldina began to smirk I wanted to slap the smirk off her face.
She's so mean to us and treats D.D. like he's an idiot, I like D.D.
he's like an awesome older brother. When Tsubasa and I went to bed
there was a lot on my mind but now, in this time of peace just before
dawn where it seems like the whole world is paused waiting for the new
day I can't help but look at Tsubasa, she's given us so much and it's
not right that we keep asking for more, but she's grown so much.
Hikaru climbs out of her bed and into Tsubasa's curling against her,
holding her.

[travele...@yahoo.com]

I thought that, after the last Maguar was gone, D.D. and Oldina would
go back home, and Hikaru and I could just stay together happily and
help daddy. But then, last night... D.D. told us he was wrong about
the last Maguar. Now, we have to fight again...D.D. at least said he
was sorry for it, but Oldina... She just had that same look she always
does around me and Hikaru. I wish she'd stop being so mean to Hikaru
and D.D. ... And I really do wish the fighting was finally over.....
And....I hope i'm strong enough to help Hikaru... Please, let me be
strong enough.... Tsubasa stirred slowly on feeling Hikaru wrap her
arms around her, frowning slightly in an uneasy sleep, wriggling a
little and starting to relax a little on feeling her holding her close.

Hikaru starts to smile softly as she holds Tsubasa close. Oldina would
not take Tsubasa from her. Hikaru refuses to allow it and if it comes
to it she will tell Tsubasa the truth as she knows that Tsubasa
doesn't like Oldina any more then she does.

[travele...@yahoo.com]

Tsubasa started to stir slowly from her dreams, eyes starting to open,
blinking curiously on feeling a pair of arms around her, on the edge
of sleep and waking. "Hikaru? Is that you...?"

Hikaru nods lightly, "Hai Tsubasa-chan It's me." she loosens her arms
a little giving Tsubasa the chance to pull away if she wanted to even
though she hoped she wouldn't.

Tsubasa nodded slowly and closed her eyes again, not wanting to get up
and deal with D.D. and Oldina yet and turned to Face Hikaru before
slipping her arms around her gently, hugging her and curling up
closer. "That's good."

[a_different_k...@yahoo.com]

Happily Hikaru holds her closer so very happy that she and Tsubasa are
thinking the same thing yet at the same time she knew that this haven
created by their bedroom would not last forever, eventually they would
have to deal with the real world but for now Hikaru is quite content
to make this last as long as she possibly can. Of course that means
she completely ignores the knock at the door even though she's pretty
sure it's D.D.

[travele...@yahoo.com]

D.D. sighed softly and waited a moment or two after his first knock
before knocking again, then opening their door carefully. "Hikaru?
Tsubasa? We're going to be ready to leave in a little while. You
should get up and get ready soon." He shut the door back carefully and
sighed, starting to head downstairs. I didn't want to get her involved
in this to begin with. And now, to pull her back in after we were
certain the last Maguar was gone.... Well. At least Hikaru seems
happier now since she won't have to say goodbye just yet... I suppose
that's one less thing for me to worry about just yet...

Hikaru sighs as she nuzzles into Tsubasa wanting to ignore what D.D.
had said yet she knew she couldn't. The Maguar could destroy the world
and that would be bad for Tsubasa so she would help save the world if
only for Tsubasa's sake.

[travele...@yahoo.com]

Tsubasa sighed herself and buried her head against Hikaru gently
before whispering softly. "I guess we have to get up, huh Hikaru...?"

Hikaru nods even though she wished they didn't have to it was getting
time to get on their feet, D.D. wouldn't wait forever. "Hai..." Hikaru
gets up untangling herself from around Tsubasa and picks up the
clothes they left out after packing the night before. She brings
Tsubasa's over and sets them beside her as she slowly begins to change
herself, her slowness a direct result of how little she really wanted
to leave.

[travele...@yahoo.com]

Tsubasa smiled softly at Hikaru before starting to change as well,
slowing in the middle of it, watching her before speaking up,
nervously, trying to smile bravely. "Hikaru....I know you feel as bad
about there being more Maguar as I do but....I don't want you to be
too sad, okay? You've been....Acting kind of strange so.....Just
think!" She smiles brightly, trying to cheer up both of them. "Once
this is over, we'll be able to go back to our normal lives. We can
just go to school, and help out on the farm, and help daddy in the
shop. Like normal girls."

[a_different_k...@yahoo.com]

On Mar 12, 4:18 pm, "traveler7012...@yahoo.com"

> shop. Like normal girls."- Hide quoted text -

Hikaru's heart nearly stops as she hears that thinking about what
she'd been told but then her newly found determination kicks in again
and she nods, "Hai. I just don't want you to have to fight anymore
Tsubasa-chan." Her clothing is quickly pulled on now.

[travele...@yahoo.com]

Tsubasa smiled softly and nodded, dressing carefully before hugging
her gently. "Thanks Hikaru. I'll be glad when neither of us has to
fight any more." She smiled and took her hand gently, picking up her
bag before walking downstairs with her.

[a_different_k...@yahoo.com]

On Mar 12, 4:55 pm, "traveler7012...@yahoo.com"

Hikaru had grabbed her bag when Tsubasa had grabbed her hand and when
they get downstairs she manages to flash a believably excited smile at
'dad' as if she couldn't wait to start a new adventure.

traveler7012001: Hideo stopped his conversation with Daisuke as the
two girls came down stairs and looked over to them, moving to meet
them and hugging them both. "Morning girls. Do you have everything you
need for your trip?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods as she hugs him back then
moves for Tsubasa to do the same as she gives an odd look to D.D. she
still wasn't really happy about having to make Tsubasa fight anymore.

traveler7012001: D.D. winced internally, equally unhappy about making
the two girls fight, smiling as Tsubasa hugged her father tightly.

traveler7012001: Tsubas smiled after sperating from him. "We made sure
before we came down that we had everything.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru moves over carrying both her own
and Tsubasa's bags and /accidently/ drops them on D.D.'s feet.

traveler7012001: Hideo nodded some and smiled, turning to look at D.D.
"And you'll be sure to take good care of both of my girls, right
Daisuke?" Daisuke smiled some before nodding. "I'll make sure they get
back safe and sound, and we'll call every night to talk to you. Don't
worry." He winced slightly and sighed, picking up the bags carefully.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru looks entire innocent as she moves
back over grasping Tsubasa's hand. He might be the cooler older
brother type figure but he could be dense sometimes, .oO(he must have
known something was coming and that this wouldn't be that easy. he's
making /my/ Tsubasa fight again) Hikaru isn't even aware how
possessive her thoughts sound.

traveler7012001: Hideo kneeled again and hugged both his daughters
tightly. "Alright then. I'll see you girls when you get back, and i'll
talk to both of you tonight. You both look after each other, okay?"
Tsubasa smiled and hugged her father gently, squeezing Hikaru's hand
softly. "We will daddy!" .oO(I'm glad Hikaru seems to be feeling
better. I was really worried about her. And, while I will miss daddy,
it is kind of cool that I get to see other parts of the world..)

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru hugs him back never actually
letting go of Tsubasa's hand and nods, "We will tousan." .oO(I wish
Oldina wasn't going though she's soooo mean to all of us.)

traveler7012001: Hideo nodded and let go of them, walking them to the
front door with D.D. "Alright then. I'll talk to you girls tonight.
Daisuke, call me as soon as you're settled in." D.D. nodded slightly
and smiled. "I won't forget, don't worry."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru just nods and with her hand still
in Tsubasa's heads out to the car not seeing Ordina yet she figured
that they would be picking her up on the way to the airport.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa squeezed her hand gently and climbed into the
backseat with her. "To tell you the truth Hikaru....I'm, a little
nervous." D.d. put their bags in the back of the car and sighed,
getting in to drive and pick up Ordina.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru returns the squeeze, "Me too. But
as long as I have you I can do anything." and she truely felt that
way, with Tsubasa by her side there was nothing that she couldn't
handle.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled and hugged her gently. "Right. Thanks
Hikaru." She calmed down at this and leaned back in the seat next to
Hikaru. (So long as we're together, the two of us can do anything.)

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru returns the hug and settles in
buckling her seatbelt. again she wished Ordina wasn't going but there
was nothing she could do about it. She wondered though if they would
ever meet someone that would be like a mother figure. She was hungry
to know that kind of connection and knew without much of a doubt that
Tsubasa was too.

[a_different_k...@yahoo.com]

traveler7012001: Oldina waited by the curb with her suitcase and her
birdcage, setting them both in the car when DD stopped, getting into
the passenger seat beside him. "You're late." D.D. sighed slightly.
(Not this again...) "I had to give her father time to say goodbye. If
I hadn't, it might've caused problems."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru scowls slightly at Oldina much
irritated with her higher-then-thou attitude. .oO(we should have just
left her behind.)

traveler7012001: Oldina waited by the curb with her suitcase and her
birdcage, setting them both in the car when DD stopped, getting into
the passenger seat beside him. "You're late." D.D. sighed slightly.
(Not this again...) "I had to give her father time to say goodbye. If
I hadn't, it might've caused problems."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru scowls slightly at Oldina much
irritated with her higher-then-thou attitude. .oO(we should have just
left her behind.)

traveler7012001: Oldina looked back at the girls, nothing Hikaru's
scowl and Tsubasa's frown, then sighing, turning back to face front.
(I hate having to need their help....But with how strong the Maguar
wee....We need all the help we can get...) Tsubasa frowned softly at
Oldina and squeezed Hikaru's hand tightly, not at all happy with how
Oldina treats her or D.D. (I really wish we didn't need her help... Or
that she could be a little bit nicer...)

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru didn't bother trying to hide it,
when Oldina looked at her she stuck her tongue out at her because the
dislike is mutual there. then she returns the light squeeze.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa giggled softly and smiled on seeing that,
squeezing Hikaru's hand gently. "Hikaru..." Oldina sighed and shook
her head some before starting to speak, glancing at them in the
rearview mirror. "Alright. Once we arrive after the flight, we'll be
picking up our equipment and heading to face the Maguar. If you want
to get some rest, you should do it on the flight over. You won't have
any time afterwards."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru scowls at her, "You do realize that
engaging the Maguar isn't quite as cut an dry as that don't you? If
they don't want to be seen they won't be so there is not certainty
that we will see one immediately." she really hated the wa Oldina
talked down to everyone.

traveler7012001: Oldina sighed slightly(Why can't she be more like the
original? It would make dealing with them a great deal simpler....)
then shook her head, looking back at her. "The signal from this Maguar
has been stable in the same area since we detected it, and shown no
signs of movement. We doubt it'll move before we arrive. If it has, we
set up base nearby, and wait."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru arches a brow, "But the fact that
it is staying in one place now doesn't mean it will and since when
have maguars stayed in just one place?" god it was fun irritating
Oldina.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa bit back a giggle while D.D. sighed and took
this question. "This one seems to be doing so. There's no energy
traces in that area that we can detect of it, except where it was when
we found it. I checked this morning before coming to get you girls,
and it still hadn't moved. This Maguar, apparently, isn't behaving
like the ones we fought."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru digests that information, "But
shouldn't we observe it then? there is obviously a reason that it is
behaving oddly. If we can gather intellegence on it before we kill it
wouldn't that help us fight the others if they start acting the same
way?" it was certainly odd.

traveler7012001: Oldina smirked just slightly at this before speaking
up, "We already sent out drones from the mothership to observe it.
They've been transmitting the data back since early this morning."

a_different_kinda_mistress: "And the drones have never been wrong?"
she asks this like she's an adult speaking to a child because it was a
fact that the drones have malfunctioned before this.

traveler7012001: She scowled and turned back towards them both,
Tsubasa swallowing nervously and pressing closer to Hikaru worriedly,
opening her mouth to begin lecturing both of them before D.D. spoke up
to defuse the situation. "We'll check the drones when we arrive to see
if they've malfunctioned or not. If they have, we'll observe more if
necessary."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru's lips twitch and she sticks her
tongue out at Oldina before turning her eyes to the back of D.D.'s
head and to rub a little salt on the wound she chirps "Ok."

traveler7012001: Oldina sighed and turned away from both of them,
shaking her head. "I have no idea how you put up with the,,,,...."
D.D. nodded slightly on hearing Hikaru's answer, turning his attention
back to the road. "They are just children Oldina."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru lays her head against Tsubasa's. It
was fun irritating Oldina but tiring too.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled softly and hugged Hikaru close,
snuggling with her gently. (I wish Oldina would stop fighting with
Hikaru so much...She gets so tired afterwards...) "Are you okay
Hikaru?" She's more than a little bit worried about her still, but
trying not to make Hikaru worry about her.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and lets her eyes slide closed
as she cuddles against Tsubasa. "I'm fine but trying to talk to her is
like pulling hairs out of your arm with tape. tiring and painful."

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled softly and nodded, hugging her closer
and kissing her cheek softly, snuggling with her. "I know what you
mean..."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru smiles slightly and wraps her arms
around Tsubasa not realizing that the action looked both protective
and posessive.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled happily and curled up closer to her,
wrapping her arms around her gently.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nuzzles the top of Tsubasa's head
and slowly begins to fall drift. The two of them do make for quite an
adorable picture curlled up and cuddled together in the back seat on

the way to the airport.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa sighed and rested her head against Hikaru,
closing her eyes gently for a short nap. Oldeena looked back at them,
then sighed, facinf forward., speaking quietly to D.D. "They do look,
sweet sometimes. I'll give you that."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru's arms tighten a little as if
warding off the idea of anyone taking Tsubasa away from her but
otherwise there is no response to Oldina's voice.

traveler7012001: D.d. sighed softly while Tsubasa froend a little and
curled up closer against Hikaru. "Sleep well girls. I'll wake you when
we get to the airport."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru's arms relax a little and she
subconsiously nuzzles Tsubasa and she slips into a light slumber.

traveler7012001: [Hmm. I have never been to an airport, or flown on a
plane, so i'm not entirely sure how to proceed with the flight...]

a_different_kinda_mistress: [me either. but i have heard about it and
seen movies. i guess just try to make it as realistic as you think it
might be.]

traveler7012001: [...That's going to be hilarious. D.D. and Oldina
masquerading as a couple, with Tsubasa and Hikaru as their twin
daughters.]

a_different_kinda_mistress: [yes i agree quite hillarious specially
since they are clearly 'daddy's girls']

traveler7012001: [Definitely.] D.D. sighed and slipped out of the car,
getting Tsubasa and Hikaru's bags. "We're here you two. Time to wake
up." Oldina got out as well, picking up her bag and birdcage
carefully.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru wakes and gives Tsubasa a gentle
shake, "Wake up Tsubasa-chan we're here."

traveler7012001: Tsubasa stirred softly and stretched a little,
smiling at Hikaru. "Is it time to go?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and reaches down unbuckling
her seatbelt. "And we probably should before Oldina starts
complaining." SHe shifts away and climbs out of the car. once ther
eshe pulls Tsubasa out of the car gently and holds her hand as she
follows D.D.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled and and squeezed her hand gently,
sliding out of the car with her help and walking with her. D.D. walked
with Oldina, leading the girls to the ticket counter where he spoke
with the woman up front. "We'd like four tickets please." The
attendant looked them over and smiled cheerfully then nodded. "Alright
sir, I can get those for you right away...Two for yourself and your
wife, and two for your daughters?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru making it seem more realistic moves
forward still holding Tsubasa's hand and wraps one arm as much around
D.D.'s waist as she can as if she was nervous being in the airport
with all these strangers.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa slid her arm around D.D.'s waist as well,
squeeezing Hikaru's hand tightly, actually nervous at being around so
many people.

traveler7012001: Oldina smiled slightly and nodded, squeezing D.D.'s
hand gently. "Yes, that's right. My husband and our girls are going on
a little vacation."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru has to fight back the urge to choke
at that and hides her face in D.D.'s side to act shy and so that she
can hide the face she's sure she's making.

traveler7012001: The stewardess smiles as she fills out the
information given to her for the tickets, reaching to pat Tsubasa and
Hikaru on the head gently, Tsubasa blushing and turning away
nervously. "Your daughters are adorable...I hope I have children like
them someday..." She sighs softly and shakes her head, filling out the
last of the information."Now you two try not to be scared okay? I know
flying can be a little scary your first time..."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru peeks up at the woman then hides
her face again because it's safer then looking around right now, don't
want to blow their cover after all.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa nodded nervously and gave the woman a small
smile as they began walking away with their tickets. "Thank you
ma'am..."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru echos Tsubasa though her's is
muffled due to her face being hidden. She almost hoped that Oldina
would have to eat her words, that the Maguar had either moved or
wasn't there period when they got there just to watch the mean woman
squirm.

traveler7012001: Oldina glanced at D.D. and the girls once they were
well out of sight of the woman and sighed, shaking her head. "I don't
believe it..." D.d. looked slightly uncomfortable with both girls
clinging to him but gave her a slight look. "It's part of our cover.
Just try and keep it up."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru pulls slightly from D.D> to look at
Oldina, "You're the one that looks weird." and it was true after all
D.D. and the girls looked comfortable with each other, even though
D.D> wasn't but Oldina was keeping her distance from her 'family'

traveler7012001: Oldina gives her a look and moves closer to D.D.,
taking his hand carefully. "This isn't exactly an easy planet for us
to get used to."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru moves back into D.D. more not
wanting to be touched by Oldina. "And you made it sound like you were
seeing us off but weren't coming."

traveler7012001: She gave her a slight look speaking quietly. "If I
thought we could get by without your help, I would've left you both
here." Tsubasa shivered gently and squeezed Hikaru's hand tightly,
edging closer to her and away from Oldina.

a_different_kinda_mistress: "Ah but you can't. we're more useful then
you are most of the time." Hikaru sticks her tongue out at Oldina then
lays her cheek against D.D.'s side again.

traveler7012001: "Only due to the new carion weaponry i've been
making. Without it, you would've been dead in the battle with the last
maguar." She smirks slightly and turns away from them giving their
tickets to board the plane.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa shuddered softly at the reminder of the last
battle and squeezed Hikaru's hand tightly, holding onto her tightly.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru took that as a bad sign and glares
at Oldina, "Yea so. without us you would be having to explain why ur
too lazy to actually help." she ment to the higher ups, "And you'd
have to explain why after you were sent the damage was still so
extensive." aka the maguar destroying the earth.

traveler7012001: D.D. sighed softly and looked down at Hikaru, then to
Oldina. "If you two want to fight, then can you at least wait till we
get somewhere less public before we discuss the battles with the
Maguar?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru looks up at him and chirps almost
sweetly, "Ok." resting her cheek back against his side again.

traveler7012001: Oldina sighed softly and nodded some, scowling
slightly. "Understood."

traveler7012001: Tsubasa let out a slight sigh of relief, resting her
head against his side, squeezing Hikaru's hand gently.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru returns the light squeeze now
completely ignoring Oldina.

traveler7012001: D.D. sighed softly and gave their tickets out,
placing the baggage out to be put on board the plane. "Alright. We're
ready. Do you two need to do anything before we get on the plane?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru shakes her head, there was nothing
she needed to do after all.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa shook her head as well, nervous, but ready to
fly. D.D. nodded slightly and took Oldina's hand with a sigh. "Let's
go then."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru snorted lightly as it seemd so
weird seeing them pretending to be a couple when she had seen how
married couples, auntie and uncle, were together.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa giggled a little and grinned at them as the
four got onboard the plane, squeezing Hikaru's hand nervously.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru squeezes back finally letting go of
D.D. to cling to Tsubasa instead.

traveler7012001: D.D. leads them to their seats in first class,
sitting down in his next to Oldina. Tsubasa presses close to Hikaru
nervously, shivering slightly and trying to calm down.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru snorts at Oldina then climbs up
into her seat and after a bit of fiddling discovered the armrest went
up between the seats and cuddles Tsubasa after they are both buckled
in.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled and hugged Hikaru tightly, snuggling
as close as possible and resting her head against her. "Thanks
Hikaru."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and cuddles Tsubasa as much as
she can while they wait to take off. Though she can't help being a
little excited, she couldn't help but wonder what cool new things she
would see.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa snuggled closer and shivered a little as they
started to take off, burying her head against Hikaru and holding onto
her tightly, just a little nervous.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru trembles just a little bit but hers
is a result of excitement. Though it isn't long before boredom sets in
and Hikaru settles back into sleep again holding Tsubasa against her

traveler7012001: Tsubasa sighed softly and relaxed after a few
moments, nuzzling Hikaru tenderly before resting her head against her
softly, falling asleep against her.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru snuggles and slumbers happily
content in knowing that for now she would not have to worry about them
trying to take Tsubasa away from her.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa slept contently with Hikaru, not wanting to
fight again, but happy to be seeing more of the world with Hikaru at
her side through it all.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Towards the end of the flight Hikaru is
slowly waking and looking about a bit confused until her mind unfogs
and she looks at D.D. almost questioningly

traveler7012001: D.D. looked over at her and nodded slightly. "We're
near the end of the flight. How'd you sleep?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods slightly, "Ok. But I don't
want to wake Tsubasa yet." her voice soft because she was very
comfortable with Tsubasa curled up agaisnt her.

traveler7012001: He nodded slightly. "It'll be a little while yet till
you need to." Tsubasa has curled up even closer to Hikaru while
sleeping, breathing peacefully, resting her head against her as she
sleeps.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and continues to hold Tsubasa,
the glimmer in her eyes unmistakably love, something that she
shouldn't be able to feel to start with.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa sighed gently in her sleep and hugged Hikaru
closer instinctively, nuzzling her neck tenderly.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru murrs softly at the tenderness of
the nuzzle and settles more into Tsubasa.

traveler7012001: [Hmm. Do ways I can have Tsubasa wake up...Either the
less pleasant one, where she either wakes up on landing, or possibly
Oldina wakes her up....Or, with Hikaru waking her.]

a_different_kinda_mistress: [hikaru would be the less tramatic waking
i think]

traveler7012001: [Oh, most definitely less traumatic.] D.D. sighs
softly as they make final approach, then looks back to Hikaru. "You
should wake her now."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and weirdly the story of snow
white just popped into her head and she doesn't think anything of it
as she wakes Tsubasa up the same way.

traveler7012001: [Well, she DOES fit the handsome prince type.... And
she DOES do it in the play....]Tsubasa stirred slowly on feeling her
lips pressing against hers and opened her eyes slowly, blinking gently
and blushing softly on seeing Hikaru kissing her, but not moving away
from her.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru blushes lightly then breaks the
kiss, "We're getting ready to land Tsubasa-chan."

traveler7012001: Tsubasa blushed warmly and nodded slowly, still
slightly out of it before smiling. "Thanks Hikaru-chan."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods, "Your welcome Tsubasa-chan."
her lips still tingling from the innocent kiss they had shared.

traveler7012001: She smiled softly and hugged her gently, then,
blushing hotly, leaned in carefully, placing a kiss on Hikaru's lips
gently before pulling away quickly, shivering nervously.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru blushes lightly at the second kiss
but savors the sensations she feels, it was something new after all.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa blushed deeply herself, not entirely sure why
she did that or what these new feelings are exactly, but liking them
just the same.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru looks out the window then back at
Tsubasa then over at D.D. she was still trying to figure out just what
it was she is feeling but is totally at a loss.

traveler7012001: D.D. blinked slightly at this but shrugged it off as
simply another strange trait of the two.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru holds onto Tsubasa and when the
plane lands gets up following D.D. and Oldina clasping Tsubasa's hand
and as soon as they are off the plane Hikaru grabs back ahold of D.D.
as she is busy looking around curiously.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa hugged D.D. carefully and held onto Hikaru's
hand tightly, looking around curiously, wide eyed. D.D. looked around
and sighed softly. "Well. This is it."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru is clinging just as tightly as she
looks around trying to absorb everything all at once.

traveler7012001: [Well, that wasn't too bad. Only 12 minutes....]
Oldina nodded slightly and looked around, leading the way to get
transportation, then to their destination. Oldina looked back at the
girls, nothing Hikaru's scowl and Tsubasa's frown, then sighing,
turning back to face front. (I hate having to need their help....But
with how strong the Maguar wee....We need all the help we can get...)
Tsubasa frowned softly at Oldina and squeezed Hikaru's hand tightly,
not at all happy with how Oldina treats her or D.D. (I really wish we
didn't need her help... Or that she could be a little bit nicer...)

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru didn't bother trying to hide it,
when Oldina looked at her she stuck her tongue out at her because the
dislike is mutual there. then she returns the light squeeze.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa giggled softly and smiled on seeing that,
squeezing Hikaru's hand gently. "Hikaru..." Oldina sighed and shook
her head some before starting to speak, glancing at them in the
rearview mirror. "Alright. Once we arrive after the flight, we'll be
picking up our equipment and heading to face the Maguar. If you want
to get some rest, you should do it on the flight over. You won't have
any time afterwards."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru scowls at her, "You do realize that
engaging the Maguar isn't quite as cut an dry as that don't you? If
they don't want to be seen they won't be so there is not certainty
that we will see one immediately." she really hated the wa Oldina
talked down to everyone.

traveler7012001: Oldina sighed slightly(Why can't she be more like the
original? It would make dealing with them a great deal simpler....)
then shook her head, looking back at her. "The signal from this Maguar
has been stable in the same area since we detected it, and shown no
signs of movement. We doubt it'll move before we arrive. If it has, we
set up base nearby, and wait."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru arches a brow, "But the fact that
it is staying in one place now doesn't mean it will and since when
have maguars stayed in just one place?" god it was fun irritating
Oldina.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa bit back a giggle while D.D. sighed and took
this question. "This one seems to be doing so. There's no energy
traces in that area that we can detect of it, except where it was when
we found it. I checked this morning before coming to get you girls,
and it still hadn't moved. This Maguar, apparently, isn't behaving
like the ones we fought."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru digests that information, "But
shouldn't we observe it then? there is obviously a reason that it is
behaving oddly. If we can gather intellegence on it before we kill it
wouldn't that help us fight the others if they start acting the same
way?" it was certainly odd.

traveler7012001: Oldina smirked just slightly at this before speaking
up, "We already sent out drones from the mothership to observe it.
They've been transmitting the data back since early this morning."

a_different_kinda_mistress: "And the drones have never been wrong?"
she asks this like she's an adult speaking to a child because it was a
fact that the drones have malfunctioned before this.

traveler7012001: She scowled and turned back towards them both,
Tsubasa swallowing nervously and pressing closer to Hikaru worriedly,
opening her mouth to begin lecturing both of them before D.D. spoke up
to defuse the situation. "We'll check the drones when we arrive to see
if they've malfunctioned or not. If they have, we'll observe more if
necessary."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru's lips twitch and she sticks her
tongue out at Oldina before turning her eyes to the back of D.D.'s
head and to rub a little salt on the wound she chirps "Ok."

traveler7012001: Oldina sighed and turned away from both of them,
shaking her head. "I have no idea how you put up with the,,,,...."
D.D. nodded slightly on hearing Hikaru's answer, turning his attention
back to the road. "They are just children Oldina."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru lays her head against Tsubasa's. It
was fun irritating Oldina but tiring too.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled softly and hugged Hikaru close,
snuggling with her gently. (I wish Oldina would stop fighting with
Hikaru so much...She gets so tired afterwards...) "Are you okay
Hikaru?" She's more than a little bit worried about her still, but
trying not to make Hikaru worry about her.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and lets her eyes slide closed
as she cuddles against Tsubasa. "I'm fine but trying to talk to her is
like pulling hairs out of your arm with tape. tiring and painful."

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled softly and nodded, hugging her closer
and kissing her cheek softly, snuggling with her. "I know what you
mean..."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru smiles slightly and wraps her arms
around Tsubasa not realizing that the action looked both protective
and posessive.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled happily and curled up closer to her,
wrapping her arms around her gently.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nuzzles the top of Tsubasa's head
and slowly begins to fall drift. The two of them do make for quite an
adorable picture curlled up and cuddled together in the back seat on

the way to the airport.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa sighed and rested her head against Hikaru,
closing her eyes gently for a short nap. Oldeena looked back at them,
then sighed, facinf forward., speaking quietly to D.D. "They do look,
sweet sometimes. I'll give you that."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru's arms tighten a little as if
warding off the idea of anyone taking Tsubasa away from her but
otherwise there is no response to Oldina's voice.

traveler7012001: D.d. sighed softly while Tsubasa froend a little and
curled up closer against Hikaru. "Sleep well girls. I'll wake you when
we get to the airport."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru's arms relax a little and she
subconsiously nuzzles Tsubasa and she slips into a light slumber.

traveler7012001: [Hmm. I have never been to an airport, or flown on a
plane, so i'm not entirely sure how to proceed with the flight...]

a_different_kinda_mistress: [me either. but i have heard about it and
seen movies. i guess just try to make it as realistic as you think it
might be.]

traveler7012001: [...That's going to be hilarious. D.D. and Oldina
masquerading as a couple, with Tsubasa and Hikaru as their twin
daughters.]

a_different_kinda_mistress: [yes i agree quite hillarious specially
since they are clearly 'daddy's girls']

traveler7012001: [Definitely.] D.D. sighed and slipped out of the car,
getting Tsubasa and Hikaru's bags. "We're here you two. Time to wake
up." Oldina got out as well, picking up her bag and birdcage
carefully.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru wakes and gives Tsubasa a gentle
shake, "Wake up Tsubasa-chan we're here."

traveler7012001: Tsubasa stirred softly and stretched a little,
smiling at Hikaru. "Is it time to go?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and reaches down unbuckling
her seatbelt. "And we probably should before Oldina starts
complaining." SHe shifts away and climbs out of the car. once ther
eshe pulls Tsubasa out of the car gently and holds her hand as she
follows D.D.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled and and squeezed her hand gently,
sliding out of the car with her help and walking with her. D.D. walked
with Oldina, leading the girls to the ticket counter where he spoke
with the woman up front. "We'd like four tickets please." The
attendant looked them over and smiled cheerfully then nodded. "Alright
sir, I can get those for you right away...Two for yourself and your
wife, and two for your daughters?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru making it seem more realistic moves
forward still holding Tsubasa's hand and wraps one arm as much around
D.D.'s waist as she can as if she was nervous being in the airport
with all these strangers.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa slid her arm around D.D.'s waist as well,
squeeezing Hikaru's hand tightly, actually nervous at being around so
many people.

traveler7012001: Oldina smiled slightly and nodded, squeezing D.D.'s
hand gently. "Yes, that's right. My husband and our girls are going on
a little vacation."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru has to fight back the urge to choke
at that and hides her face in D.D.'s side to act shy and so that she
can hide the face she's sure she's making.

traveler7012001: The stewardess smiles as she fills out the
information given to her for the tickets, reaching to pat Tsubasa and
Hikaru on the head gently, Tsubasa blushing and turning away
nervously. "Your daughters are adorable...I hope I have children like
them someday..." She sighs softly and shakes her head, filling out the
last of the information."Now you two try not to be scared okay? I know
flying can be a little scary your first time..."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru peeks up at the woman then hides
her face again because it's safer then looking around right now, don't
want to blow their cover after all.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa nodded nervously and gave the woman a small
smile as they began walking away with their tickets. "Thank you
ma'am..."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru echos Tsubasa though her's is
muffled due to her face being hidden. She almost hoped that Oldina
would have to eat her words, that the Maguar had either moved or
wasn't there period when they got there just to watch the mean woman
squirm.

traveler7012001: Oldina glanced at D.D. and the girls once they were
well out of sight of the woman and sighed, shaking her head. "I don't
believe it..." D.d. looked slightly uncomfortable with both girls
clinging to him but gave her a slight look. "It's part of our cover.
Just try and keep it up."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru pulls slightly from D.D> to look at
Oldina, "You're the one that looks weird." and it was true after all
D.D. and the girls looked comfortable with each other, even though
D.D> wasn't but Oldina was keeping her distance from her 'family'

traveler7012001: Oldina gives her a look and moves closer to D.D.,
taking his hand carefully. "This isn't exactly an easy planet for us
to get used to."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru moves back into D.D. more not
wanting to be touched by Oldina. "And you made it sound like you were
seeing us off but weren't coming."

traveler7012001: She gave her a slight look speaking quietly. "If I
thought we could get by without your help, I would've left you both
here." Tsubasa shivered gently and squeezed Hikaru's hand tightly,
edging closer to her and away from Oldina.

a_different_kinda_mistress: "Ah but you can't. we're more useful then
you are most of the time." Hikaru sticks her tongue out at Oldina then
lays her cheek against D.D.'s side again.

traveler7012001: "Only due to the new carion weaponry i've been
making. Without it, you would've been dead in the battle with the last
maguar." She smirks slightly and turns away from them giving their
tickets to board the plane.
traveler7012001: Tsubasa shuddered softly at the reminder of the last
battle and squeezed Hikaru's hand tightly, holding onto her tightly.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru took that as a bad sign and glares
at Oldina, "Yea so. without us you would be having to explain why ur
too lazy to actually help." she ment to the higher ups, "And you'd
have to explain why after you were sent the damage was still so
extensive." aka the maguar destroying the earth.

traveler7012001: D.D. sighed softly and looked down at Hikaru, then to
Oldina. "If you two want to fight, then can you at least wait till we
get somewhere less public before we discuss the battles with the
Maguar?"
a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru looks up at him and chirps almost
sweetly, "Ok." resting her cheek back against his side again.

traveler7012001: Oldina sighed softly and nodded some, scowling
slightly. "Understood."

traveler7012001: Tsubasa let out a slight sigh of relief, resting her
head against his side, squeezing Hikaru's hand gently.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru returns the light squeeze now
completely ignoring Oldina.

traveler7012001: D.D. sighed softly and gave their tickets out,
placing the baggage out to be put on board the plane. "Alright. We're
ready. Do you two need to do anything before we get on the plane?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru shakes her head, there was nothing
she needed to do after all.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa shook her head as well, nervous, but ready to
fly. D.D. nodded slightly and took Oldina's hand with a sigh. "Let's
go then."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru snorted lightly as it seemd so
weird seeing them pretending to be a couple when she had seen how
married couples, auntie and uncle, were together.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa giggled a little and grinned at them as the
four got onboard the plane, squeezing Hikaru's hand nervously.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru squeezes back finally letting go of
D.D. to cling to Tsubasa instead.

traveler7012001: D.D. leads them to their seats in first class,
sitting down in his next to Oldina. Tsubasa presses close to Hikaru
nervously, shivering slightly and trying to calm down.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru snorts at Oldina then climbs up
into her seat and after a bit of fiddling discovered the armrest went
up between the seats and cuddles Tsubasa after they are both buckled
in.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa smiled and hugged Hikaru tightly, snuggling
as close as possible and resting her head against her. "Thanks
Hikaru."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and cuddles Tsubasa as much as
she can while they wait to take off. Though she can't help being a
little excited, she couldn't help but wonder what cool new things she
would see.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa snuggled closer and shivered a little as they
started to take off, burying her head against Hikaru and holding onto
her tightly, just a little nervous.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru trembles just a little bit but hers
is a result of excitement. Though it isn't long before boredom sets in
and Hikaru settles back into sleep again holding Tsubasa against her

traveler7012001: Tsubasa sighed softly and relaxed after a few
moments, nuzzling Hikaru tenderly before resting her head against her
softly, falling asleep against her.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru snuggles and slumbers happily
content in knowing that for now she would not have to worry about them
trying to take Tsubasa away from her.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa slept contently with Hikaru, not wanting to
fight again, but happy to be seeing more of the world with Hikaru at
her side through it all.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Towards the end of the flight Hikaru is
slowly waking and looking about a bit confused until her mind unfogs
and she looks at D.D. almost questioningly

traveler7012001: D.D. looked over at her and nodded slightly. "We're
near the end of the flight. How'd you sleep?"

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods slightly, "Ok. But I don't
want to wake Tsubasa yet." her voice soft because she was very
comfortable with Tsubasa curled up agaisnt her.

traveler7012001: He nodded slightly. "It'll be a little while yet till
you need to." Tsubasa has curled up even closer to Hikaru while
sleeping, breathing peacefully, resting her head against her as she
sleeps.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and continues to hold Tsubasa,
the glimmer in her eyes unmistakably love, something that she
shouldn't be able to feel to start with.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa sighed gently in her sleep and hugged Hikaru
closer instinctively, nuzzling her neck tenderly.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru murrs softly at the tenderness of
the nuzzle and settles more into Tsubasa.

traveler7012001: [Hmm. Do ways I can have Tsubasa wake up...Either the
less pleasant one, where she either wakes up on landing, or possibly
Oldina wakes her up....Or, with Hikaru waking her.]

a_different_kinda_mistress: [hikaru would be the less tramatic waking
i think]

traveler7012001: [Oh, most definitely less traumatic.] D.D. sighs
softly as they make final approach, then looks back to Hikaru. "You
should wake her now."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods and weirdly the story of snow
white just popped into her head and she doesn't think anything of it
as she wakes Tsubasa up the same way.

traveler7012001: [Well, she DOES fit the handsome prince type.... And
she DOES do it in the play....]Tsubasa stirred slowly on feeling her
lips pressing against hers and opened her eyes slowly, blinking gently
and blushing softly on seeing Hikaru kissing her, but not moving away
from her.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru blushes lightly then breaks the
kiss, "We're getting ready to land Tsubasa-chan."

traveler7012001: Tsubasa blushed warmly and nodded slowly, still
slightly out of it before smiling. "Thanks Hikaru-chan."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru nods, "Your welcome Tsubasa-chan."
her lips still tingling from the innocent kiss they had shared.

traveler7012001: She smiled softly and hugged her gently, then,
blushing hotly, leaned in carefully, placing a kiss on Hikaru's lips
gently before pulling away quickly, shivering nervously.

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru blushes lightly at the second kiss
but savors the sensations she feels, it was something new after all.

traveler7012001: Tsubasa blushed deeply herself, not entirely sure why
she did that or what these new feelings are exactly, but liking them
just the same.

and sighed softly. "Well. This is it."

a_different_kinda_mistress: Hikaru is clinging just as tightly as she
looks around trying to absorb everything all at once.

traveler7012001: Oldina nodded slightly and looked around, leading
the way to get transportation, then to their destination.
