Kai'sgrl: Well hello everyone, I just heard that authors aren't allowed to comment on Reviews, is that true?

Sapphire Angels Devil- thanks for ideas, will use both but twist the first one. Krage, sashary, Prisca-angel and Kuro 1107 thanks for reviewing. Darkwolf88- I agree and won't make a sequel.

Chapter 14: Cool new threads
"Well," Tyson spoke "this is going to take some getting use to."
The four boys glanced around at each other getting use to the feeling of being tall again and being able to walk on two feet.
"What the hell are we wearing?" Tyson questioned looking around at himself and the rest of his friends. Wonder what he was talking about the other three each glanced down at themselves.
"Wow this is like silk." Rei pointed out. Each of the boys was dressed in ancient traditional robes each with certain colours, similar to those that were just surrounding them moments before. Max's robes were a deep purple lined with golden thread around the neck and sleeves. On the back of his robe was a Japanese symbol that translated into 'Draseal'. There was also a white top under his robes that all the boys had on. Tyson's robes were royal blue and were lined in silver threads, the Japanese symbol for Dragoon apparent on his back. Rei's robes were forest green and had managed to even turn his bandanna and hair tie that colour. Like Tyson's, Rei's robes were graced with silver threads as well had a sash around his waist, Driggers symbol on his back. Kai's robes were deep red, the ends were threaded with golden threads and a sash lay loosely tied around his waist, the symbol of Dranzer burned into his back.
"Well, that's one way of changing clothes." Max said with a bit of humour in his voice.
"Well why don't we show off to Hillary?" Tyson suggested turning around, letting his stomach guide him to the kitchen, max following closely behind.
"Okay, am I the only one who finds this totally creepy and weird?" Rei asked as he watched the two younger bladers walk out of sight.
"Those two are so weird. So Rei, what's with the robes?" Kai questioned hoping that somehow Rei knew a little more than he was telling.
"To be honest, I never even thought the cat curse thing was real, but it was and now I don't know what to believe." Rei slowly glanced around himself; taking in all that surrounded him as if there was a possibility it could be all fake and all in his mind.
"Oh, I see." Kai said looking down at the ground. "Well some things never change, looks like we're saving the world again, great." It's not that Kai didn't want to save the world, it's just he, like the others, was constantly wondering one thing, we them?
'I mean what do we have that thousands of others don't have?' Kai asked aloud forgetting all together to guard his thoughts. Rei picked up on them immediately.
'I don't know why we were picked but maybe this Jasmen person can answer some of my questions.' Rei pointed out, startling Kai.
'Guess I should be more careful about how loudly I voice my thoughts.' Kai noticed as he and Rei began to walk back towards the house.
'Oh don't worry, I'm sure you'll get use to it, and if you don't I can always black mail you.' Rei commented chuckling to himself.
"What's so funny?" Max asked when Kai and Rei entered the house, with Rei still laughing.
"Oh nothing, anyway I'm going to make reservations on a plane to Tokyo. That's were we're going to meet this Jasmen girl." Rei stated walking into the Living room and using the phone. He returned a few minutes later saying that he had reserved seats for all four of them for a 4 am flight.
"Why the hell did you make it so early?" Tyson questioned obviously upset at the early wake up call.
"Because the only other flight that wasn't booked was at 8pm and that would mean landing around 1am. This is the best flight. Also this way we'll arrive around 12 noon so this Jasmen person won't have to wait long for us. Now time to pack." Rei said turning and walking into their rooms to begin packing.
"I'll never understand you boys. One minute cats the next boys the next flying halfway across the world." (A/N their in America remember?) Hillary stated slowly shaking her head. "Well might as well make dinner, then you all have to go to bed, so you can get up so early." She said sounding very motherly like. "Now shoo!" She said shoving Tyson into his room to get packed.
"What ever." Kai murmured following Tyson into their room, Max right behind him.
"How long do you think we'll be there?" Max asked after about 5 minutes of packing.
"I'm not sure why'd you ask Maxie?" Rei looked over and the confused blond.
"Well we've only ever been away for a month at a time, but if we're longer won't people start to worry?" Max had voiced the one question that was on everyone's mind. "I mean we all have family, friends, and not to mention tournaments. So won't someone realise we're gone? I'm not sure Mr.Dickenson knows about our…um…. Condition."
"Well I'm sure we'll figure it all out when we met the girl. We'll ask her about time, and if we can contact Mr.Dickenson and family. That should cover everything, we'll tell the public that we're off on a training retreat!" Rei said starting to like the sound of his own suggestion. "You'll see guys this will all work out in the end." He said flashing everyone a huge smile.
'And if it doesn't I'm blaming you.' Tyson thought smugly.
"Tyson, shut up." Rei said continuing his packing. Tyson turned red and Max started to laugh.
"You forgot…haha…we all heard you." Max laughed.
"Yah well I guess the fact that we can read minds, sort of slipped my mind." Tyson said emphasising the 'read' while he picked up a pillow and aimed it at Max's laughing form.
"HA ha…ouch, that's it your dead Tyson." Max yelled grabbing a pillow and jumping onto his bed to get a better aim of Tyson's head.
"Come one guys knock it off," Rei started but was interrupted as a pillow made contact with his face, causing him to fall over. A never before heard laugh rang through the room as Kai stood there laughing at Rei.
"Come one and stop being such a mother, have some fun Kon." Kai said re-arming himself with another pillow.
"Oh you are so dead Hiwatari!" Rei cried picking up the pillow that had hit him and charged at Kai. With in minutes there were feathers everywhere and ripped pillowcases littered the floor. Four boys were sitting in the middle of the room, having pushed aside the beds, and were all breathing heavily from the excitement.
"Well that's one way to remove stress." Max laughed as he lay down on the floor letting the feathers that were still in the air all on his face.
"I guess that's one way of putting." Rei agreed also laying back against the cold wooden floor.
"Hey guys," Tyson started, lying down on the floor also. "Do you see that picture in the feathers?"
"Tyson I think I hit you one to many times." Kai said sharply.
"No, I don't think so." Tyson said squinting his eyes. "Do you guys see it?" Tyson questioned the two laying next to him.
"No I…wait a minute, look at that." Max said starting to get excited as he pointed at the ceiling. Kai lay back with the others to get a better view of what Max was pointing out.
"What the…" He started as a picture began to form. Tyson raised his hand into the air and began tracing invisible line. Within minutes the feathers began to attach themselves to those invisible and visualise the lines to the others.
"Tyson, what are you doing?" Max whispered in amazement.
"I don't really know." Was all Tyson said as the feathers continued swaying around the room.
"DINNER!" Hillary yelled throughing open the door.
"Ah!" Max screamed, the others jumped, thrusting his hand forward in fright a stream of blue light hit Hillary and she was instantly soaked.
"Max! What's the idea of throughing water at me?" She questioned stomping out of the room to dry herself off. Now all faces turned to Max.
"Okay that was weird." Rei plainly pointed out. Max shakily raised his hands to his face as if to examine them.
"How did I do that?"
"The same way I made those feathers follow me I guess." Tyson said grabbing one of Max's hands and helping him up. "Come on Hillary mentioned food." He then dragged a still shaken Max out of the room and into the kitchen.
"The world could be coming to an end and as long as Tyson had food, he wouldn't care." Rei said slowly shaking his head.
"You think, their…um…abilities were caused from the whole cat experience?" Kai asked seeing how out of sorts Rei was.
"Maybe, once again we and our questions are at the mercy of that woman we're meeting tomorrow afternoon." With that Rei stood up and looked back at Kai. "Come on, I'm hungry. Let's get some food before Hillary decides to chuck it all because of Max." Laughing Kai got up and followed Rei into the kitchen. Luckily Max had convinced Hillary that it wasn't his fault that she was wet and she decided not to through out the food. True to her word, right after the boys were done she made then all go to bed, despite the fact that Kai wanted to get in some training. The next morning all four boys woke at 3 am to the annoying beeping sound coming from Rei's alarm. Kai rose and quickly got changed; he was use to being woken so early and unexpectedly. Rei followed shortly after and the two of them dragged Max and Tyson out of bed.
"Come on Tyson!" Rei yelled. He had managed to get the sleeping boy out of bed and onto the floor, but Tyson refused to wake up.
"Allow me." Kai said stepping out of no where holding a very large, very full bucket of water. With a psychopathic expression he walked over to Tyson held the bucket over his head with extra-ordinary strength and tipped it.
"AAHHH!"
"Thanks Kai."
"No problem Rei. The taxi will be here in 15 minutes get your stuff and leave it at the front door."
"Hey! Down here!" Tyson yelled seeing as the other two were completely ignoring him.
"What?" Kai coldly responded.
"Why'd you dump water on me?"
"Because you need to get up and don't have time for a shower. Be grateful." Kai answered grabbing a few bags off his bed and walking out the door. A few minutes latter (and bruises) all the blade breakers were pilled into one Taxi. (Their entire luggage was placed in the back) Hillary waved good bye to the boys as the car drove out of site.
'I hope they stay safe.' She silently prayed as she walked back into the house.
When the boys reached the airport they all glanced around the waiting area until they found the ticket counter. Kai, being the most responsible, walked over and got the tickets that Rei had got for them.
"So where to now?" Rei asked when Kai rejoined the group.
"We have to go to gate 3A, our flight should be called up soon." Kai said picking up his luggage. The boys began making their way through the crowds, which were surprisingly great at this time of morning. Just as the loading area came into view the overhead crackled to life.
"Will all passenger flying from America to Tokyo please report to gate 3A for boarding. Thank you."
"Well you heard her." Max joked as they walked up to the counter. There was a woman of middle age there and she smiled warmly at the boys. She first took Max and Tyson's tickets checked them over and then let them pass. Then she reached out her hand for Kai and Rei's tickets.
"Oh I'm sorry," the woman started looking at the two tickets. "We're only boarding rows 1-29, your seats are 30 and 31. Please take a seat and I'll be able to call your rows in just a minute." Growling Kai snatched his ticket back and sat down on the nearest chair. Rei gave the flight attendant an apologetic smile, retrieved his ticket, and took a seat beside Kai.
"So," Rei started getting Kai's attention. "What's with the hostile mood? You usually refrain from using it on innocent people."
"Yah well, I'm just a little worried. I use to knowing what I'm getting into and having a choice in the matter. But with this whole cat incident, I'm finding that once again I'm being pulled along without a choice being told to do some thing and having to just do it. It's like not knowing if you can swim or not and being thrown into the deep end. Will I sink? Or will I float? Just like at the abbey." Kai mumbled as his mind recalled certain incidents at the abbey were he would be forced to do the impossible without complaining and without mistakes. Rei sensed this and gave Kai a reassuring smile.
"But you do have choices, everyone does, just right now we don't know what they are. Don't worry I promise this won't be as bad as the abbey was, who knows this could actually be fun!" Rei exclaimed clapping his hands together. "So what do you say?"
"That I'm glad I can rip a beyblade again." Mister un-emotional was back. His faces set it's self like brick and it even looked like he wasn't breathing. Taking this as the sign to find something else of interest Rei glanced around the airport and took in all the sites. People, people and wow big surprise more People. There were large glass windows that let people look out at incoming and departing planes. He watched families say good bye to loved ones and wish others good luck. He tried to remember the last time he had a family member or friend wish him off, but the truth was that he had never had one do such a thing. His first time on a plane was when he had left China to enter the first World Championship Beyblading match. Since then the only plane trips were to get from one tournament to another. It all seemed so weird that for once the team was just going some where were there was no championship anything.
"Now boarding flight 264 to Tokyo, Japan." The voice said on the inter-com.
"Well here we go." Rei thought as the team headed towards the boarding dock.
