So I'm really sorry that I updated months later but I was super busy and focused on my studies so I'm really sorry. Especially to my manager Rie, I'm super sorry. So here it is. BTW things are gonna get a bit random in here then depressing then majorly depressing then confusing then frustrating then depressing then happy... Look forward to it! 3


BTW I'll be starting doing POV's cuz… well it doesn't seem right if I don't.

Ren's POV

It was pretty boring back at the house and I had nothing else to do, so instead I laid back on the couch downstairs. Of course, all the others were messing around, having fun and all that. Suddenly, Saotome appeared, with his usual pyrotechnic effects, with a huge smile on his face.

"Minna-san!" he said with his accent. "I have great news!" We all gathered around to hear what the boss had to say.

"First of all, 2000% was an ultimate success!"

We all clapped and cheered… Well, we as in the members of Starish. Other than Reiji, the senpais just had poker faces on.

"And another thing," Saotome added. "A few people are coming home."

"Home?" Tokiya asked and we all listened in. Just when Saotome was about to speak, the front doors opened with a bang. We turned around and saw two girls proudly standing with wide grins on their lips. I recognized them in an instant.

"It's you!" Natsuki yelled with a smile on his face and his usual stary eyed look. It was Misa-chan and Sora-chan.

"Welcome back!" Saotome yelled with his accent, which was something I was getting fed up with. We all greeted them and such, until Ichinose said something that got us all interested.

"Wait… If you two are here then-"

Before he could even finish, Saotome spoke up.

"These girls are going to make a comeback debut of a lifetime! They'll be the first to break the stereotype of girl groups! Even as of now, they're in the running for the UTAPRI award!"

"So… just them?" Ichinose asked, looking a bit gloomy. We all knew who he was thinking of. She never left our minds after that melancholic exit of hers a few months ago.

"You're not going to leave me out from all the fun, are you?" we heard someone say. It sounded so familiar yet so different. We all turned to the door and saw her standing in all her glory, a changed person.

"R-Rikka…" Ichinose muttered and she smirked. Believe me when I say that we all had our jaws on the floor… Well, all of us except for Saotome and the girls.

"You're back…" Shou muttered and she nodded.

"In the flesh, and I'll make up for every single lesson I missed," she said, then she turned to the two girls with a deadly stare.

"And as for you two," she started as she walked towards them who, in turn, backed up in fear. "I know I lost the bet but we are now officially inside. Don't expect me to bring your bags up to the rooms as well," she said bluntly.

"Y-yes! We will, we promise!" the two said and I chuckled, thinking back on the old days when Rikka was still around back at school.

"We'll take care of those for you," Kurosaki-senpai said, suddenly appearing beside us. Saotome grinned. "Girls, these are your senpais. We figured they were the best ones to fit the bill for you since you girls are already so talented. And of course, we have the rule wherein trainees and their senpais must sleep in one room… But in respect with your opposite genders, I've asked maintenance to prepare separate rooms for you," he said. "Allow me to introduce Quartet Night."

"Ussu!" Kotobuki-senpai smiled widely. "I'm Kotobuki Reiji, just call me Reiji if you want [insert smiley here]"

"Kurosaki Ranmaru. Get in my way and you'll pay the full price." As expected of him.

"Mikaze Ai," the smallest one said. "Pleasure to make your accquaintance." I'm surprised, the dude actually has a small smile on his face!

"Camus," the last one said with his 'princely' smile.

"And as for you four," Saotome said, facing the senpais. "Let me formally introduce you to your new pupils. Matsuno Sora, the drummer of the group and the sub-vocalist."

"Ohayo," she said with a smile and a bow.

"Fujino Misa, the bassist and sub-vocalist."

"Ussu." She really does know how to make an impression, doesn't she?

"And last but most definitely not the least, Sakuragi Rikka. She's the main vocalist, guitarist, the group's visual, and she's here to redeem herself."

"Ohayo gozaimasu," she said bluntly, bowing in respect.

"Redeem herself?" Reiji-senpai asked and Rikka looked slightly uncomfortable.

"I never got to finish my year back at Shining Academy due to… certain personal issues. I prefer not to dwell on it," she said. "Oh, I'm sorry for prying," Reiji-san said and Rika nodded.

"This group shall be known by the world as…" Saotome said then a rope appeared from nowhere and he pulled it, suddenly getting lifted up into the air.

"Deadly Symphony!"

There was a bit of a chill as something cold emanated from the three girls.

"Silver hair, tough vibe… I like her," Kurosaki-senpai said with a smirk, reffering to Rikka. "She'll make a good pupil, I can tell, unlike these seven over here."

"That kinda stung a bit," Itokki said.

"There's one problem," Mikaze-senpai suddenly spoke up in a matter-of-fact tone. "The rooms are still being prepared up until now. Maintenance have only been noticed recently so it will take some time."

"Well, that is a problem," Saotome said, still floating up in the air. "You girls won't mind staying with the boys for a while now, do you?"

"No problem at all," they said bluntly, not even a bit of interest in us. That stings my manly pride in a way.

"Well then, silver, you're rooming with me," Kurosaki-senpai said.

"I'll take care of you, Sora-chan!" Reiji-senpai said, suddenly getting into a first name basis.

"You're with me," Mikaze-senpai told Misa and she nodded.

"Well then, let's get those bags," Kurosaki-senpai said as he lifted Rikka's luggage for her without hardship. They all climbed up. Once the senpais and the girls were gone, Saotome made his grand exit as well. All that was left was me and the other six boys.

"It is just me, or was that awkward?" I asked and they all sighed.

Indeed, the days are going to get much more interesting. Let's just hope she remembers her coffee this time.

Speaking of which, I wonder where the little lamb is…
