Isamu looks around the lounge area noting how many people are there, how many exits and entrances there were. A practice he had never really participated in until meeting his current group of associates. He then identified a good place to sit, and with his hand in Ashley's pulled her towards a seat. "Will we be sharing a room at your families home, or will they expect me to sleep elsewhere," he asks out of nowhere.

"More likely we will be at my uncle Leto's place across the street. Mom and Dad don't have a very big place so it would be crowded." Ashley answered. "But we'll find out for sure when we get there. As long as we can avoid my grand father, we should not have any issues. He's the one that caused a stink about me and you and it trickled down from my parents. Dad is terrified of Gramps and Mom would never say anything to her dad. So we steer clear of the crotchy old fart and we'll get along fine. Luckily uncle Leto and Gramps don't speak, so thats another reason to stay at his place."
They found themselves mostly alone, as the few travellers using the private departures were merely passing through, making it seem that waiting for a private flight was not that common. There were plenty of doors for Isamu to watch, making it nearly impossible to watch them all.

Realizing he couldn't watch all the doors and they were in a private lounge, he tried to relax. He says, "I will follow your lead. Since you better understand the intricacies of your family, it would be best if you direct me on where to go, who to speak to, and who to avoid."
He puts an arm around her, "my goal is to make you happy, and to relax. If I can accomplish those two items on this trip, I will mark this mission successful. As it stands I have not even thought of the goings on at home since we left, and I would like to keep similarly distracted."

Ashley snuggled in to Isamu's arm around her. "I'm just glad Alice didn't mind us taking off despite everything going on. That and the fact that there isn't a full moon while we are away." A tone chimed from the arrivals/departures board and she glanced up at it, "That's us, departure 769 to Honalulu." As she stood up with her carry on, she took his hand and then led the way to the boarding gate.
The plane was much smaller, but still plenty of room on board, with rom for forty plus passengers on the military jet. Seated near the front were four soldiers, three men and a woman, who from the sounds of the conversation as they passed, were doctors. In the middle was two more uniformed military officers, with computers out already that gave the pair peculiar loks as Ashley led Isamu to the back row of seats, where she let him have the window seat. " Sit back here so I can get to the washroom quicker if I have to."

Isamu nodded, stored his carry on and Ashley's. Then he sits, taking the window and letting her have the isle. He says to her, "it seems we have drawn some attention. Perhaps we should have worn uniforms, we would have created less curiosity."

"Who cares if they take are bothered by us. We have clearance and approval to be here, and I doubt they have clearance to know why." Ashley replied with a grin. After a few minutes, two more soldiers boarded and sat with those up front. The access hatch sealed and within moments they were airborne, with one of the front group turning out to be the flight attendant. He stood and said, "You need anything, shout, otherwise enjoy a long boring flight." He returned to his seat at the applause of his companions just as the plane turned onto the runway.
The captain came over the PA, "All passengers, we takeoff in less than one minute, so make sure belts are fastened."
Ashley double checked hers as they began to taxi, then grasped Isamu's hand tightly iand hel on

Isamu raises an eyebrow at the soldier's antics. He shakes his head and the buckles himself up taking Ashley's hand. "It will be fine my love. It is just another short flight," he says as he reaches over and rubs her arm.

Ashley's breathing was fluttery, but she was holding herself together much better than the first flight. "So glad I took those pills. My stomach isn't...," she stopped midsentence and her hand clamped over her mouth as she leaned into Isamu. Her hand came away clean, but it was clear she was still feeling the effects at least some.
"Hey, is someone gonna spew back there? I hear irking." One of the soldiers in the front group said
One of the two in the middle answered," It's the civvies. Great going to have to smell that stink all the way there . Go hork in the john, would you, nobody wants to listen to that."
Ashley composed herself enough to snap off an F-bomb in reply, which drew applause from the front group.

Isamu face turns to a scowl when the soldiers speak to Ashley that way. He is about to raise up when Ashley answers them. He whispers to her, "do you want me to say something to them?"

"no, It's not...ohhh, gotta go" Ashley was up and headed for the washroom despite the plane asscending.
One of the soldiers up front laughed and shouted, "And she's off!"

Isamu looks daggers at the loud mouth up front as Ashley departs. He says, "it is the small minded that must amuse himself with the misfortune of others," shaking his head in disgust which can be heard in his voice.

The two middle seated officers turned and gave Isamu a dirty look, but said nothing. The ones seated up front ignored the comment and returned to their conversation.
After the plane leveled at cruising altitude, Ashley emerged from the plane roughly ten minutes later. She had clearly cleaned herself up, but looked no worse for wear. "Sorry, I tried." She apologized sheepishly.

Isamu shakes his head dismissively, "you have nothing to apologize for. You did nothing wrong. I am sure anyone with an ounce of common sense will agree with me."
He extended his arm to welcome her back to her seat.

Ashley was about to sit when one from the front group said, " If you need it, there is bottled water in the cooler up front."
Ashley looked at Isamu and smiled, " Be right back.." She went to the front, retreived a bottle. After drinking nearly half, she started back to her seat. One of the officers stopped her,". You know that was military property."
"Then my taxes paid for it, jerk." Ashley snapped back
The foursome up front were now laughing as the officer stood up," I'd like to see your credentials to be on this flight, miss"
Ashley pulled out her ID card and showed the officer, who after reading it paled slightly. "Now, would you like to see what got my companion and I these credentials?"
"No Ma'am." The officer started to sit down.
" You stand right there. I want your name, rank and serial number so I know who to filethe complaint about." She snapped, her teeth gritting slightly.
From his seat, Isamu could see and hear everything, including Ashley's tone that indicated she was getting angry and her control was slipping.

Isamu stands and moves to the front of the plane with all of the grace of a trained martial artist. He says, in Japanese, "my love it is over." in English he says, "I believe the man has learned his lesson."
He never stopped moving to put himself between the soldier and Ashley. Only then did he stop. He turned to her and offered her a smile, "let us go and enjoy the rest of the flight and ignore them. You and I know what qualifies us to be on board, as does the security check points we went through to get on board not to mention the people we called that pulled the ropes that were pulled to get us these seats. One soldiers need to feel superior should not deter us from enjoying ourselves on this much needed trip."
He hoped his reasoning with her was enough to get her to turn and walk away.
Before she does he turns to the soldier, who standing would probably be taller than Isamu. He says, "we are going to return to our seats. You are going to return to yours. And you and your friends will enjoy the flight without bothering us again. As you have obviously noticed we are not military and by the look on your face when she showed you her credentials, you do not want to know what we do, why we do it and who gives us permission to do so. If we have to have words again I will make one phone call. By the time the results of that call reaches you, you will have wished you never woke up this morning," Isamu says allowing some of the tenor of his Kajatsu yell to rise up to give strength to his words.
He just looks at the soldier and then tilts his head and says, "that sound acceptable to you?"
