Chapter 2 - A Tiger's Curiosity
"Come on Chief! We can't spend our entire trip cooped up in our cabins. Even Mr all work and no play is taking a break, and that's saying something considering it's Kai we're talking about."
Looking back over his shoulder to get a better view of the one he was talking to, the navy haired teen know as Tyson didn't see the deck chair situated in the middle of his path. Never one to take his time, not when you could do things in half the time, Tyson went running into the chair before him causing himself and the chair in question to go crashing to the floor. Slowly pushing himself into a sitting position Tyson sat dazed for a few moments before suddenly becoming aware of his bodies aches. Willing to wait until his body didn't ache as much as it already did Tyson was more than happy to remain where he sat, that was until he heard the chorus of laughter which soon followed his mishap. Looking up from under his bangs Tyson saw that the laughter he heard was coming from the three individuals that were walking towards him, each highly amused at the scene in front of them.
With his trade mark glasses perched a top of his messy brown hair and his ever present laptop tucked under his arm Kenny, or otherwise known as the Chief amongst his friends, looked on in disapproval yet otherwise amused at Tyson's antics. Walking beside him doubled over in laughter, followed the team's only blond haired member Max, who along with the Chief was considered one of Tyson's best friends. Last but by no mean least came Rei, his bound hair swinging behind him even as gave a small laugh at Tyson's expense.
Arriving at their fallen friend first Max quickly reigned in his laughter, although finding Tyson's mishap highly amusing at first Max couldn't help but be a little concerned over his friends well being, noticing now that Tyson had failed to remove his arms from the leg he was cradling.
"Heah you all right there Tyson? Didn't mean to laugh at you there buddy but I couldn't help it." Voice laced with concern Max kneeled down beside his friend.
"Maybe if he'd kept his eyes on where he was going and wasn't in such a rush to get everywhere then this could all have been avoided."
Always the voice of reason among the team Kenny used his free hand to push his glasses back to their original position after falling from their perch on his head. However, even he understood that Tyson was just boisterous by nature and even he was thankful for a break from his work ever now and again. Taking note of how Max was now helping the person in question to his feet Kenny could only share Max's concern as Tyson once standing quickly relieved any pressure he had on his right leg, almost falling flat on his face. Making a grab for his friend Max helped keep Tyson up by giving his friend something to lean on, also preventing the person in question from ending up on the floor.
"You ok Tyson? What's up?" Wanting to be reassured that nothing was seriously wrong Max cast a nervous glance over to Tyson awaiting his reply, while at the same time placing Tyson's arm over his shoulder getting a better grip on his staggering friend.
"Yeah don't worry about it I'll be fine, arh....ok, maybe not right now but I should be fine in a minute."
"Maybe so, but with the way that your limping right now I think that the best thing to do is take you to the nurse's office, just to have you checked over."
"But Chief I'll be fine, there's no way your getting me to spend the next few hours cooped up in some nurse's office." Silently hoping that his pleads would work Tyson's hopes were short lived as the boy beside him voiced his opinion.
"I think Kenny's right Tyson its better to be safe than sorry, besides we wouldn't want you to miss the World Championships just because you didn't want to see a nurse."
"What? You to Max, arh man this trip isn't turning out at all like I expected. Fine I'll go, but it doesn't mean that I have to like it." With a sigh of defeat Tyson's spirit great dipped at the idea of wasting the day away stuck in some office.
"That's the spirit buddy and don't worry I'm sure this will all be over before you know it, and just to make sure you don't get to bored me and Kenny will come with you."
Giving his defeated friend a smile in order to cheer him up Max looked over to were Kenny stood beside Rei, both of them now silently watching the scene before them. Looking from one to the other Kenny could only give a sign as he realised that his decision about how to spend the next few hours had already be made for him.
"All right you two come on, I believe that the nurses office is this way."
Letting Kenny past them to lead the way, Max who was how acting as a human crutch for Tyson, was about to help him along after Kenny when he suddenly remembered the forgotten member of their team. Waiting till Tyson regained a sort of balance from the sudden stop, Max turned his head in the direction of the Chinese youth, who at the moment was looking back at the pair with a grin.
""You know if you'd Rei your more than welcome to."
Not believing for a moment that Max was being serious in his statement Rei could only raise an eyebrow in reply. After all he couldn't think of anything else that could be more boring than sitting around all day in some stuffy nurse's office.
"Hum, thanks for the offer Max but no thanks, as fun as it all sounds I thought I might do a little exploring while you guys sort Tyson out."
"Thought you'd said that, there's no point in us all having a wasted day. Well we'd better catch up with Kenny before we lose him. We'll meet up with you later for lunch ok, have fun Rei." Waving the guys off Rei could help the laugh he gave as he watched Max help the limping Tyson down the deck to where Kenny stood waiting for them. Catching up with him both boys could only mutter a sorry before following him around a corner and disappearing out of sight. Watching them disappear Rei stayed standing where he stood for a few moments as he took a look around himself trying to decide on where he should go. Finally deciding that he would take which ever path took his liking Rei turned about on himself going back in the direction he had come, never knowing that the events which were to unfold were about to change not only his own life but the life's of the Bladebreakers forever.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ideally wandering around the ships deck Rei suddenly realised just how large the ship really was, not to be mistaken he had been in awe of the ship when he had seen it in the dock, but only now did the sheer size hit him.
"Wow, could they have made this ship any bigger? How do people find there way around this place, it's worse than a maze?"
With that same train of thought Rei began to wonder if going with Tyson and the others would have been such a bad idea. Exploration was a fine idea until you actually wanted to end it and return back to the place where you started from. Carrying on in his travels Rei finally gave a sigh of annoyance as he took note of the same fire extinguisher, which he had already pasted twice before. Leaning forward against the decks guard railing Rei brushed aside his ebony bangs as he looked out on the vast ocean of blue. Deciding to take a chance on the winding passages of the ship Rei came to a complete stand still as the faint sound of someone's voice reached him. After seeing no one around this part of the ship for at least an hour, Rei's curiosity was peaked as he headed in the direction from which the voice was coming.
"No wonder no one can find their way around here, who ever designed this place must have been thinking of a pretzel when they did it."
Walking around the ships deck, always heading in the direction of the voice, Rei began to recognise that the words being spoken were part of a song he had once heard while in America. Getting closer to his destination Rei realised that although the song being sung was American in origin the voice singing it wasn't. Wondering why it sounded so familiar Rei realised why it was that he recognised the melodious voice, whoever this person was they were singing in his native Chinese. Curious about the idea that someone from his homeland could be aboard the ship Rei quickly turned the corner in front of him, only to find himself staring at the very person he was seeking.
