For Spellcaster Haiku because she gave me the plotbunny for this chapter.

Welcome to the UK

Interlude: Photograph

Amanda walked down the street, a small smile on her face. The Bladebreakers were in her homecity! She couldn't believe it. Well, she could, because it was London so they were eventually going to come here since it was the capital city and all.

She'd only seen them once and that was at the signing the day before. She'd met them, got their autographs, their picture and everything. The roll in her camera wasn't completely used up from that which was why she was walking through London - she was trying to catch another glimpse of the Bladebreakers to take more pictures of them. But since she'd been trying to find them since they had arrived a week ago and hadn't seen them whatsoever apart from that one time, she doubted she'd be able to see them.

So she was probably going to waste the last few shots on references pictures of trees; she needed them for her art class anyway.

Amanda's eyes flickered to a flash of blue-grey a little distance in front of her. No. It couldn't be, could it? Edging towards it, she decided that the hair was to light to be Tyson's and anyway, the person was too tall to be him. She saw for a brief second a flash of white before it got covered again by the mass of people. Glancing around, she couldn't see any other recognisable faces. She'd heard that he was a loner and it looked like it was true. She pushed past someone and was finally able to get a semi-clearer shot of the person who she thought it was.

She was right: it was Kai. And he was walking towards her.

Quickly lifting her camera from its strap around her neck, Amanda used the view-finder of the camera to try and see Kai better with the zoom-in function. She frowned slightly in confusion when she saw that he was carrying shopping bags. One swung in a particular direction and she saw the brand name for 'Iris Pet Shop', a small pet store nearby. What was he doing, going shopping here? Didn't he have someone to do the shopping for him since he was famous?

Trying to focus on Kai's upper body, Amanda wondered how his scarf had gotten tangled with the part of the scarf tied at his neck. It had probably become that way while he was carrying the bags so he couldn't adjust it.

Just then, a fluffy brown and white head poked out of the scarf. Out of surprise, Amanda pressed the button to take a photograph. She heard the shutter snap shut and open again and then the roll rewinding loudly within the camera.

Kai Hiwitari, the leader of the Bladebreakers, the loner, the silent one out of the team, the one who hardly ever beybattled, who seemed the least unfriendly... had a pet kitten.

She squeaked when she realised that Kai was nearly right in front of her. He hadn't seen her because he was distracted by looking down at the kitten. Hopefully, he didn't hear her camera.

Amanda started to make her way home at a brisk jog. Stephanie wasn't going to believe her when she told her this!

And another short chapter. So, an OC. Meh, she shouldn't be appearing again (of course, I thought that I wasn't going to be continuing this on either so she might) but I suppose I'll just have to see what happens.

Hmm, I'm kinda running out of ideas for what to go and do for something to happen before The Big Thing happens (whatever that is) and plus, I'm morely going to focus plug on my Danny Phantom/ Bleach crossover end plug for the time being. Erk, I wanna get something finished before continuing on/ starting up another fic. There might be another update next month though. Just saying.
