Chapter 8: Suprised? Maybe not.

Shizuka's POV

I wonder what that was all about. That voice, it sounded familiar. It sounded strangely like Tsukasa's... Maybe I should call Hana.

"Hello, Rui.."

"Huh? Shizuka.."

"Morning Rui! How are you?"

"Okay,"

"What are you and the rest doing there? You know how busy I've been modelling and all."she said giggling as she spoke.

"Mmm.."

"Rui,.. guess what? I'm coming back!"

"Good."

"You missed me Rui?" she asked slowly.

"Mmm.."said Rui unexcitedly, as his eyes traveled to the violin on his table.

"Oh, will you come and pick me up?"

"F4"

"Oh, yes... F4.."

"Mmm"

"Rui, why are you so quiet"

"Habit"

"Am I boring you?"

"No."

"Oh, okay then.. i'll be back next week. Gate 15 at noon."

"Kay."

''Rui, I-"

"Look, I'm tired..."

"Nevermind then, sorry"

"Bye."

Rui's POV

Hearing what Shizuka had to say didn't really take me by suprise. I knew she would return to Japan sooner or later, don't mistake me, not that I'm unhappy or something, but I'm happy for the wrong reason.

Eyes on my violin, no her violin... No one will take her place which is why guilt eats me each time I take comfort in Shizuka's arms..

Me and Soujiro never talked about her again after that incident, but he changed. He clammed himself up to any hurt by putting on a carefree mask. However, his choices in women gave him away. He was hurting, I was hurting. She haunts our memories, splattered in every single one of them..

I await her return.
