Well, here comes part 2!

Part 2

Chapter 23: Some weeks later

It was a beautiful day in the middle of February. The sun shined brightly, and the snow made the inhabitants of Moscow pull their jakkets tighter around them selves. It was a wery normal day, and no one expected that something weird was going to happen...

Outside a museum, sat a little boy on a thich stone wall. He'd been sitting there the whole morning, waiting for something exciting to happen. He had a strange feeling in his stomach, and he had felt it since he woke up. Something would happen today, he knew it! If he just waited a bit longer...

Suddenly, his rucksack fell down from the wall. He sighed, and jumped down. The only way to come up on that wall, was to climp up at some rocks inside a garden a few blocks away, and then walk on the wall to the place he'd been sitting. He sighed again. Stupind racksack, he thought. He bent down to pick it up, but cought sight of something a few metres away. He straightened himself up, holding his racksack in his small hands.

It was a young man. He had two toned hair, and dark, crimson eyes. He was wearing jeans, a black leather jakket and a white scarf. The little boy looked closer at him. He was holding a camera! The boy walked quietly behind the man, and tried to look at the camera. If only he could be standing at the wall! But it would take way too long time, and when he came back the man could be gone. He wasn't shure, but he felt that there was something strange with this man. The man wasn't wery tall, so he leaned his head back, and looked into the camera. The boy frowned. The man was taping the entrance to the museum, but he couldn't see the building at all! The only thing wisible on the small screen, was small green numbers, and strokes.

Suddenly, the man noticed him. He looked a bit pale for a secound, but smiled down at the little boy. Then, he started to walk quickly towards the entrance.

The boy frowned again, and looked after the young man. Maybe he was halucinating? 'Couse he couldnt have seen what he thought he had seen. But he had a feeling that it wouldn't be wise to follow him, so he started to walk back to the rocks. He was shure something would happen! And he would wait!

But he couldn't stop thinking about what would have happened, if he had followed that strange man...

Count Hiwatari sighed and leaned his back towards one of the huge stone lions in front of the entrance. He turned off the camera, and took a deep breath. It had been a wery busy day, and a shock like that was not what he needed. In a couple of secounds he had had the feeling that someone was looking at him, and when he turned around it was... Just a little boy, he said to himself. But that wasn't what he'd been thinking at the moment. For a moment, he had been looking into his own eyes! Kai shiwered. He remembered too well the things that had happened only weeks ago.

He swallowed nervously, and pressed the red play button on the camera. He walked around, taping the windows and the door. The small green numbers shined on the black screen like stars.

Suddenly, his new cell phone rang in his pocket, and he nearly dropped the camera. Kai pressed the 'off' button, and picked up the cell phone.

"Gryff, what the heck is it now?!" he roared into it. "Do you have any idea how mutch you scared me?! I nearly dropped the camera!"

A voice on the other side started to laugh. "Haha! Sorry! I just wondered if you could tape the entrance hall too?"

"I've done that. I just have to take the back door, and then I'm done." Kai walked around the corner of the building.

"Yeah, you should be. You've been there in over five hours!"

"It's a huge building okay? How's Tala?" He stopped in front of the back door.

"Oh, his arm is mutch better now! That healing ointment we found, is really good!"

Kai's mood lightened a bit. "Thats great!" He turned off the camera again. "Well, I'm done. I just think I'm getting something to eat before I comes back. I'm starving!"

Gryff chuckeled. "I can understand that! What!?" It sounded like Gryff had spoke to someone else on the other side. "No, not now! He'll be back in an hour or something...NO!" A sudden crackling from the phone made Kai look at it with a deep frown on his face. "Hey, give it back! Give it back! Runa!"

"KAI!" He smiled when he heard the new voice coming from the cell phone. He could hear Gryff swearing in the background.

"Hey Runa! Everything alright?"

"Yeah, I'ts great! Except from Gryff, he ate all the cookies again!"

"I did not! It was Ian! IAN!" Gryff roared in the background, and Kai laughed. "Dont worry. I'll buy some before I'm coming back."

"Okay. But I think we should place it on the highest shelf this time, or Gryff is going to eat them again."

"IAN! IAN! IAN!"

"SHUT UP GRYFF! I'm actually trying to read here!" Tala yelled.

"Sorry you had to hear that." Runa said.

"No problem. Maybe I should come before they kill eatch other?" Kai asked, while walking up a crowded pedestrian street.

"I think thats a good idea. Well, bye!"

"Bye Runa..." Kai hung up. He took a deep breath of the clean, cold air, and opened the door to a small grocery store. It was weird how mutch things had changed. Tyson, Ray and Max was back in Japan now, and they hadn't seen each other since he came out of the hospital. And-

Kai stared. Wasn't that...Max? But...?

The blond boy disappeared behind some shelves. He shook his head. It couldn't have been him...

"There you are!" Kai frowned and looked down at the boy who had just walked up behind him. "Ian? What the heck are you doing here? I thought you was going to contact Loki!"

"I have! He said they was on their way. But, something wrong? You look paler that usual."

Kai shook his head. "Nothing. I just thought that I saw someone..."

"Anyway. Loki said that they would arrive tomorrow." Kai smiled "Great! Just in time! But, how did you know I was here?" He looked suspiciously down at Ian. Ian grinned. "You haven't been spying on me, are you?"

"You know, you cant just let children look into your camera like that, Kai. That can ruin the whole plan."

"IAN! You were supposed to spy on the guards! Not ME!"

"Hey, I need to have fun too."

"Why cant you just throw Gryff out of a window, or something?!"

"I have! And that was fun untill Tala threw me out too!"

Kai shiwered in anger. "Well, then you get as deserved!" Suddenly, Ian's eyes widened. And in the next secound, he jumped around in the store, trying to put out the fire on his jacket. "Damn!" Kai concentrated, and the fire disappeared.

"What the heck did you do that for!?"

"Sorry Ian! Let's get out of here!"

"Tyson!?" Max closed the hotel door, and took off his shooes and jacket. The room was abthed with white light from the snow outside, and he could clearly hear a weird noise. He frowned. What the heck is that? He stetched, and walked into the living room. Kenny sat on the sofa.

"Hey Kenny." Max dropped down beside him. "Whats that noise? It sounds like someone is ripping up the asphalt!"

Kenny chuckeled, and took a sip of a koffee cup. "Neh, it's Tyson. He's snorring again." Max sighed. "Is he still sleeping?" He ran to Tyson's bedroom door. "It was mutch easier when Kai was here!" He opened the door, and saw Tyson lying in his bed.

"Tyson! Wake up! I've got news! I saw Kai!" Tyson mumbeled something.

"TYSON!"

"What?" He opened his eyes slowly. "Kai?"

"Yeah, I saw him!" Tyson sat up and yawned.

"By the way, where's Ray?" Tyson smirked.

"Ahm, I think he's out in the town somewhere!" Kenny shouted from the living room. Max nodded. "Okay," He turned towards Tyson again. "Get dressed, and then we meet outside the hotel in an hour."
