Upon landing, Kyle's heart was in turmoil.
This would be the first ti he is back in the country of his previous life. Seeing the familiar sky, view and airport brought havok to his heart and mind.
Country M was a small peninsular, thus he had been everywhere here. The first stop was, of course, the capital and his ho was nearby. Their two stops were East and West of Country M, with his 'ninja' job being here but at the ports on the outskirts of town.
Kay put a hand on Kyle's shoulder, asking worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine," Kyle replied, though his eyes were showing otherwise.
Right now, Kyle would love to go into Zen mode so that he wouldn't have to feel this sense of longing. However, that would an he would be placing too much of a reliance on it. Zen mode was only for ergencies and this was sothing he just needed to deal with by himself.
On his own.
Zen mode was also sothing he would need to be able to access whenever he could. He couldn't get it on when Randall was 'getting it on', after all.
Imagine if that had been an intense fight? If he had been affected by so psychological mind ga? Zen mode gave him an edge when the chips were down, so he would need to be able to activate it, no matter what the condition.
Another thing to train on.
Sam watched this with curiosity but didn't ask.
As Kyle's PA, it ant that he kept all of Kyle's secrets but it didn't an he was privy to all of it. His role was to keep his secrets and not pry. All he knew was that Country M held a very significant place in Kyle's heart and that was all he needed to know.
Xing Han chose to be quiet, as he studied everything around him. This was Kyle's old ho. Old place. From what he told him, 'he' was still alive and thus, would take all ans to make sure that he doesn't et 'her'.
But what about his children?
Xing Han turned to look at Kyle.
"Kyle?" Xing Han called out tentatively.
"Hmmm?" Kyle answered absent-mindedly.
"We're staying here the longest, right?" Xing Han asked.
"Yeah," Kyle replied, "About a month or two."
Xing Han grabbed Kyle's arm and shook it, "Will you take around? When you're free. Just the two of us."
Kyle turned to look at Xing Han, his face puzzled, "Erm ... you want to go on a date with ?"
Xing Han pouted, "Well, DUH. You've been so busy lately. If it's not school, it's the promotional tour. If not that, it's that-other-thing or sothing for Nitocris. We haven't had our BFF tis for like, forever!!"
Thinking about it, Xing Han was right.
Even though they stayed at the sa house, Kyle was usually extrely busy so there was no 'quality' ti, so to speak.
"And more importantly, this is Country M," Xing Han said softly.
Kyle understood.
Flinging an arm around Xing Han's shoulders, Kyle said cheerfully, "Of course we can. Just us two bros, ya? Sam, slot BFF ti for and Xing Han okay?"
Xing Han grumbled with a pout, "Does this an I would need to make an appointnt each ti just to et you? What about when you take over the CEO post?"
Kyle brought XIng Han closer, hugging him from the side, "For you, Xing Han. I'd drop anything I have just to be with you."
"Anyway, you're the one who's probably going to be busier than . With your wife and all," Kyle said teasingly, "Probably with a whole truckload of kids, too."
XIng Han shuddered, "Let's not talk about that for now. I still have 5 more years before the wedding."
"Your families have already decided on a date?" Kay asked in surprise.
"Yup," Xing Han sighed, "They took our birth charts, did the calculations, and established that 15 June 2xxx is the most auspicious date. I'm getting married at 20 years old."
Kyle looked at Xing Han, who didn't look sad, or angry or upset. He just accepted it as fact. Perhaps it's because he's been told about it since birth, so he took it as another responsibility to be fulfilled.
It was his way of life.
Kyle felt imnse pity for Xing Han. At least he had experienced love and had kids but Xing Han was just going to be fulfilling his duty. He should have so fun, at least.
"Let's go pick up so girls then!" Kyle decided suddenly, "Sightsee, hit the town, pick up girls, have so fun!"
Xing Han's eyes twinkled in excitent and agreed happily, "Yeah!"
Back in Country Tz, Nitocris felt a sudden chill.
