Chapter 25
Stuart walked into the Dinning Room expecting to see some of the team but none of them where there, he sighed heavily looking at the clock on the wall which read 8:00, turning round he walked to get them, using the lift he reached the right floor, as he was turning the corner he ran into someone, moving quickly he got up once he stood he met with cold scarlet eyes before they moved to help the one that he had knocked over. Rei hobbled up leaving heavily on his crutches although he had tried to argue with Kai about taking them but the other boy was unmoving on it.
"sorry Rei" smiled Stuart apologetically moving aside to let the Neko Jin past.
"I'm fine no harm done" smiled Rei before passing the flaxen haired man. Kai sent the older man another death glare as he followed Rei into the life. Stuart let out a breath that he was holding.
"he has that affect on everyone" said Max coming up to the older man.
"I seem to get it more than anyone else" grinned Stuart "come one, down stairs time for breakfast"
The younger team mates and Stuart followed Kai and Rei down to the dinning room where they ate breakfast in near silence.
######
The minibus the team where using while in England arrived at the first point of the tour (an hour and half late after Tyson had, had three breakfasts) at Buckingham Palace. Tyson, Kenny and Max ran to the gates to watch the guards march the area. Rei limped after them leaning on the gates, Kai standing next to him watching the guards as well. Stuart moved to stand with them but away from Kai,
that boy either doesn't like me or is suspicious. In time I will probably have to tell them who I am and assure him that I am on his side, but I don't understand what he was looking after him for, but it being classified I'll have to hope that he might let it slip.
Stuart was brought out of his thoughts by the feeling of someone watching him.
probably Kai
He looked to where the feeling was originating from to find a pair of Golden Eyes.
"What can I do for you Rei?" he asked smiling at the Neko Jin.
"I was wondering when we where going to move on, we've been here for nearly half an hour" said Rei
Stuart started, not realising that they had been there that long and he had gone so deep into thought, he started to borate himself anything could have happened during that time.
"we should move in to the next part, the houses of Parliament." Stuart said motioning for the group to walk in front of him. They walked at a slow pace because of Rei, it took about 20 minutes before the houses came into view. Tyson turned to Kenny.
"What are these buildings?" he asked.
"the houses of Parliament" said Kenny "its where the Prime Minister of England and his party make decision about the country" explained the Chief looking at the building taking in the detail. The group stood looking at the building in front of him, watching the people move around inside. Rei moved to lean against Kai taking the weight off his foot.
"tired?" mumbled Kai to Rei as he unfolded his arms for the Neko Jin to be more comfortable.
"no, just my ankle's throbbing and these crutched are seriously hurting my arms" Rei whispered back.
"we'll go somewhere to rest in a bit" said Stuart coming into the conversation, causing Rei to jump slightly these pills are really affecting my senses
Kai glared at Stuart, while holding Rei tighter, Rei smiled slightly at Kai's protectiveness.
"we just have one more stop before we can stop for lunch" said Stuart loudly getting the teams attention.
"What's next?" asked Max bouncing slightly excitedly.
"the Millennium eye" said Stuart leading they way as they crossed the road to walk towards the river Thames.
"what's the Millennium eye?" asked Tyson
"I'm not sure" Kenny shouted back as he following Stuart closely so he didn't get lost in the crowd.
########
Stuart stopped to turn to the team, but finding that they all weren't there, he looked over the heads of some of the crowd seeing the red cap of Tyson and the blonde of Max, but panicking slightly when he couldn't see Kai or Rei.
shit! The two I'm meant to be watching have gone
Stuart waited for the other two to catch up before telling them to hold onto each other and him before walking back through the crowd to find the leader and Rei. Stuart sighed in relief when he saw familiar Slate and blue hair by a wall, as he walked closer he noticed Rei sat down on a bench.
"what happened?" asked Stuart.
"we lost you because I couldn't keep up, so we thought that if we stayed in one place you could find up, instead of us going in the wrong direction." Explained Rei.
"O.K. Can you hold onto each other please, so I don't lose you again, and if we go to fast let us know Rei." Ordered Stuart.
Tyson took Max's hand who help Kenny's who went to hold Rei's but they found a problem .
"Rei can't hold anyone's hand" stated Kenny pointing to the crutches. Stuart tried to think of a solution but none came to mind. Kai was getting annoyed at just standing there so he took Kenny's hand startling the youth then took hold of Rei's hair affectively joining the group in a line.
"can we go now?" asked Kai sarcastically
"come on then" said Stuart ignoring Kai's tone. The group travelled slower this time staying together to walk towards the street next to the River Thames, after going through the underpass walkway they arrived at the wall that ran alone the river, the Millennium eye came into view.
"it looks like a giant Ferris wheel." Said Max pointing at the circular monument with glass pods on the spokes.
"it accentually is" stated Stuart "it goes round slowly so you can see the city form the highest point."
"cool, can we go on?" asked Tyson.
"it's already booked" smiled Stuart leading them down to the queue, they moved forward slowly unlit they came to the ticket booth.
"Bladebreakers" said Stuart asking for their tickets.
"Yes, can you walk though this door, please walk straight through." Smiled the man at the desk.
The team walked to the front of the queue getting into one of the glass pods quickly Max and Tyson stood pressed up against the glass trying to get every detail. Kenny set up Dizzy so her camera could record the journey, while Rei sat on the floor watching the ground distanced itself from them, he hugged Kai's leg who was stood next to him arms folded but eyes open looking at the view. Kai let Rei be so that he wasn't embarrassed, he knew that cats have a fear of heights after a few feet that's why so many get stuck up trees, but he knew that once Rei was on the ground he would be fine.
The Ride took 3 parts of an hour to finish its cycle before the team where lead from their pod.
"that was so cool" shouted Max bouncing about with Tyson.
"It was interesting" agreed Kenny checking that Dizzy had recorded it. Rei breathed deeply once they where on the ground.
"it was high" he mumbled leaning against the railing turning slightly when a group of girl started pointing and waving at him.
"I think we've been spotted" he said indicating to the group, Kai moved forward to look at Rei was pointing at only to get a blown kiss directed at him.
"can we get out here?" he ground out looking at Stuart.
"lets go to the park, you can stay there, then I can go get lunch, McDonalds alright?" Stuart replied.
"it's fine, now can we go" said Kai glaring at the increasing group that where staring at them.
######
Once again the team held onto one another as they walked through the crowed streets of London. Half an hour later the arrived in St James park.
"it's beautiful" said Rei taking in the green glass that covered the place with paths weaving there way through the grass, creating a focal point of the lake that had swans gliding across it.
"this is St James park, one of the biggest in London" stated Stuart leading them to a crop of tree that faced the lake, near a crowd of people.
"can you please stay here, until I come back" asked Stuart looking intently at each of them.
"fine" humped Kai leaning against one of the trees
"thank you" said Stuart "what would you like?"
Tyson opened his mouth to say his list when Max spoke up.
"Tyson and I will have a Big Mac Meal with Coke please" he smiled brightly at the bluenet to stop him complaining.
"Can I have a Mc Chicken Sandwich with Sprite?" asked Kenny sitting down setting up Dizzy.
"of course" smiled Stuart before turning to the older two. "and you?"
"quarter pounder meal with Strawberry milkshake please" said Rei before looking at Kai.
"Koi, what do you want?" he asked smiling.
"same" muttered Kai to low for Stuart to hear.
"what you say?"
"he wants the same" answered Rei before moving to sit a Kai's feet leaning against him, closing his eyes.
"that's everyone, Stay here" said the Fair-Haired agent before walking off to get the food.
"Rei?" came Max's voice about 10 minutes later.
"yes" answered the Neko Jin opening his eyes to look at the blonde.
"do you think Stuart would mind if we moved there" asked Max pointing to a beyblade dish not far from where they where sat.
"I don't see why not, Stuart can still see us from there" said Rei "what you think Kai?"
"Hn" was all Kai said before moving his foot to tell Rei that he was ready to move, the team moved over to the battle dish, not noticing the small shape that followed them, hiding the crop of trees next to them. Sitting in similar places. Max and Tyson readied to battle pulling their rip cords the battle began.
"DRAGOON"
"DRACIEL"
Each blader called on their bitbeast to attack the other. The small shape stayed where he was observing the battle before talking into a phone.
"they're here" he whispered before reading the object out of his bag. Tyson was winning encouraging Dragoon to beat Draciel.
Bang
Good place to stop!!!!
