Chapter5 (flight and claw's)

Travelling always makes me ask why I took this silly bay blade tour thing.. Ok that sounds wrong I love beyblading I just hate flying and no hate isn't a strong enough of a word I detest it… normally I would sneak off and by some week sedatives from a chemist, so I would be relaxed for the flight. But this morning I slept in again, for the same reasons that blader is to comfy, and Tyson realised that he hadn't packed so of course yours truly got dragged in to help. Dam Kai and his threatening voice… and to make matters worse it's near the full moon, which we nekojinns are particularly sensitive to… dam I'm talking in the third person again not good…

Kai noted that Ray was looking particularly nervous as they walked around the air port and on to the plain. As he stepped onto the plain he looked like he was going to try and make a run for it, so I placed my hand on his back so that he'd remember that he couldn't run through me. The rest of the team seamed to have noticed that some thing was up and kept shooting nervous looked back at Ray. "Come on Ray." I said as I shoved him into one of the two-seater window seats I leant over pulled down the blind and told him to stay there for a moment as I walked to were the rest of the teem was, normally me and Ray sat away from them as Ray just wanted to sleep, and I just didn't like theIr hyperactive company. "What the hells up with Ray?" I demanded, "Don't know... Honest he wasn't like this in the morning honest...he was just irritated I mean he kept muttering about her who ever she is he a'nt happy." Kai quickly brought the topic back to hand. "Well it isn't nothing I had to stop him from almost running through me to get off the plain earlier. What's up..."

"How long has Ray been scared of flying?" Asked Chief he just got a blank stare of Max and Tyson "He isn't he always just sleeps..." then I looked into chief's eyes who was just asking me to connect the dots… "Ohhh no..."

"What!!" asked a very irritated Tyson "Sedatives.." I stated as I walked back to the other end of the plain and looked at the jumpy neko… dam it…

Forty minuets into the flight you would have thought that he would have calmed down but no that would be too convenient. I'm so glad that I have him wedged between me and the window, other wise I think that he would have been up and down the aisle god knows how many times... He's been pumping his fist for the last ten minuets, maybe it's went numb or some thing.. He's not a threat I kept repeating in my head, yhea right, part of my brain sniggered. I looked up as I noticed that the air stewardess approached my seat I looked across to check on my highly strung teem mate, he'd just stopped pumping his fist and was now staring transfixed at the ceiling looking very pale. When I looked down to Ray's hand which was wrapped around the metal of the hand rest almost crushing the metal, but their was something odd about the shape of the hand it was stubbier and was as white as his tunic as I watched transfixed I noticed that his nails seamed to lengthen. "Excuse me sir." I quickly covered Ray's hand with my own and looked up to the smiling face of the stewardess. "If you can please put on your seat belt the aircraft is about to land." I nodded dumbly as I felt the metal through Ray's hand give up its fight and crumple under his grip "Ray… Ray, we're about to land" I sighed and reached across to pull his seat belt, as I passed his face I noticed that he wasn't pale he just had a fine white down covering his face. I quickly pulled his seat belt across him before seeing to my own not once removing my hand from his I don't want to know.. Hand.. Paw… I don't want to know…

As the plane landed I noticed that Ray seemed to be acting slightly better, well he was now staring out of the window which is an improvement of sorts, and he was starting to get some colour back and as far as I could tell without looking his hand was getting back to normal ish… "Ding we hope that you have enjoyed your trip with us… could all passengers please collect all of their hand luggage and leave the plane… Thank you… Ding" I stepped aside just in time as Ray rushed passed me heading straight for the exit. As I looked down I noticed that the armrest that Ray had been holding before was just a twisted lump of metal with four large puncture marks claws, I turned to see the other blade breakers looking at me expectantly,

"Max, Tyson, go and find Ray, Chief…" I asked as the others walked away "What do you know about neko jins changing form under stress."

"There have been story's but there just fables..."

"Oh yeah." I said nodding down to the crumpled peace of metal I watched as his face paled. You know I would have really enjoyed watching chiefs face, if it wasn't for the fact that that was me ten minutes ago… Dam it… "See what you can find will you."

Max and Tyson had finally found me hiding in the airport staff room, I'm good with people, I even got a cup of tea. Only one of the flight attendants recognised me, but I bribed her with a photo and autograph to stick on the wall. So, there I was sitting talking to some friendly people about awkward businessmen and some one called Sharon who's just had a kid, when Tyson comes in and screams,

"FOUND HIM…." Oh no…

"Hey we've been looking everywhere for you." Max chirped in "Even Kai… which let's face it, is cause enough to worry on it's own. You must have freaked him or something." I couldn't help but blush as I looked at the array of airport staff staring at us.

"Well I think that's my cue to leave unless I want death by Kai," I gave a quick look around the room and bowed "Thank you very much for you time and the tea, send my best to Sharon." Tyson and Max were already in the hallway as I leant around the door and mouthed another quick "Thank you" around the door as I left.
