'I'M BACK!'
Taking in the fourth member of their group, Sojirou Nishikado and Akira Mimasaka turned and looked at each other in bemusement.
'So you really have come back, we thought it was just a rumour' enquired Sojirou.
'But how long for, Is the question.'
'Well Akira, it depends on how much I'm wanted… but I say the maximum is a month, its my big break. Took forever for my mother to agree but in the end father said I would end up burning out with the pressure. So she gave in.'
'Ah so it was a case of blackmail then' grinned Akira
'Sometimes it's the only way to get things done' replied Tsukasa Domyoji the erstwhile leader of the F4.
'Yeah speaking of blackmail I still cant believe you managed to get Makino to actually go to college without an arguement'
'She saw sense Sojiro, this way she gets a good education…'
'and you can keep tabs on her.'
'Well there is that.'
'Speaking of my Fiance where is she?'
for the first time the excitement dimmed.
'Well?'
sensing Domyojis growing frustration Sojiro spoke up
'In London'
'YOU LET HER GO BY HERSELF! YOU KNOW WHAT SHES LIKE!'
'Well we didn't let her go byherself, its part of the college field trip.'
Both neglecting to mention just who had gone on the trip
'You know us Domyoji, we've been there before, no excitement. We decided to sit this one out.'
suspiscion growing Domyoji enquired meancingly
'WHO went with her?'
'Um lets see… Shizuka Todo, Sakurako Sanjo, Kazuya Aoike and Makiko Endo to name a few.'
as if noticing for the first time the absence of his 3rd friend
'SO where is Riu?'
gulping in unison, Akira and Sojiro replied as they moved to stand behind the couch
'London.'
'WHAT!'
