Kuraku sighed in annoyance as his Mother tried to smoothen his suit once again. He looked at his wrist watch and almost yelled "...The suit is fine, Kaa-sama...you don't need to smoothen it more than it has already been...it's fine!...I do not want to be late...and with this rate, I will miss the plane for sure..." He pushed his mother's hands away and took a step backward "...I am 11 years old...not 2...I'm a grown up..." He said, clearly displeased.

"...my son...you've grown into such a fine young man..." His mother sniffed before pulling out a handkerchief and wiped the tears away from her eyes. Kuraku's eyes twitched slightly "...kaa-sama...you're embarrassing me..." He said, his voice became colder suddenly. His mother bursted into tears and said to his Father"...look, love...he's so young yet so matured...I'm so proud of him..." Kuraku crossed his arms and watched his mother silently. "...yes, love...I know that...but you shouldn't become so emotional...we'll see him really soon, right son?" His Father tried to comfort his Mother...without much success. Kuraku nodded his head and answered "...yes, otou-sama...I will write to both of you the moment I settle in..." His mother sobbed harder "...I can't let him go like this, Kaze-kun...he's my son..." His father, Kaze patted his Mother awkwardly and said gently "...shh...he said he would write to us soon, remember?..." His Mother nodded and wiped away her tears. She planted a kiss on Kuraku's head, completely ignored Kuraku's cry "...Stop it, Kaa-sama..."

"...write to us soon, son...I'll miss you a lot..." His mother said sadly and Kuraku's eyes softened just a little bit. He nodded and answered "...I will, too...take care, Kaa-sama, Otou-sama..." He bid his farewell and walked to the plane, vaguely heard his Father said "...take care, son..."

Sitting on a comfortable seat, Kuraku's eyes locked at his parents' figures and he mouthed, knowing that his parents wouldn't be able to know what he was saying "...I have a destiny to fulfill...I have to go..." And the plane began to move, taking him to his next destination - America.
