Chapter 2: Back Again. Arrival of the Four Lights.
Ten years later.
Screams erupted in the Tokyo International Airport as five teenagers stepped of their private plane. "Four Lights! We love you!!" and "Can I have an autograph?!" were heard from the large crowd of teenage fans.
Closer inspection revealed the teens to be Seiya, Taiki, Yaten, Serena, and Sammy. But Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten were in their usual forms of young men at the age of 17.
"Oh no. I guess our fame is spreading," Serena commented to the others over the loud noise, with a sigh.
Thirteen-year-old Sammy slung his sister's guitar case over his shoulder and led the group as they slowly made their way through the crowds of their screaming fans.
They finally made it to the entrance of the airport and were able to hurry into their waiting limo with the help of the airport security guards.
"So, where are we going Taiki?" Seiya asked the tall brunette. Seiya settled back into the leather seats for the ride.
"Yeah, and it had better be a five star place," warned the hard-to-please Yaten.
"Don't worry Yaten. It is. We're staying at the Tokyo Grand Plaza. It's close to the local high school that we can enroll in," Taiki said calmly. "And there is also a junior high school nearby for Sammy."
"School?!" exclaimed his four companions.
"But summer just started!" Yaten wailed.
"Oh hush Yaten. Japan doesn't have summer vacation. There are only year- round schools here," Taiki reprimanded. "It will do us all good."
The silvery-white haired, short 17-year-old boy groaned and plopped back into the seat.
"The Tokyo High School has a few martial arts clubs you know. And an American football team, as well as a photography club," Taiki told them, his comments catching the attention of the other three 17 year olds.
"They do?" Seiya asked with wide eyes. "American football?"
"And a martial arts club?" Serena added excitedly, for martial arts were her area of expertise and enjoyment-besides singing and performing that is.
"And a photography club too?" Yaten said, sounding interested, which was a rare thing. Photography was Yaten's favorite area and he owned a few professional cameras that were made just for him. All the pictures that they had had on Kinmoku were taken by Yaten himself and they weren't too bad, to say the least.
"Yep. They also have a computer club and Math League of which I plan to join," Taiki said with a grin.
His four friends rolled their eyes. "You'll probably end up being the captain of the Math League and the center of the computer club," Seiya shook his head as he told his predictions to his genius older brother. Taiki scored perfect on every test he took and was currently the undefeated champion of the International Math League Championships of which he had participated in as an American student during their tour in the States.
"No," Taiki paused," I think this time will be different. There HAS TO BE someone on Earth who is a challenge to me,"
"Like who? Einstein? Sorry to tell you this bro but Albert's cold in his grave right now," Yaten smirked. "And he was a raving lunatic."
"Haha very funny, Yaten," Taiki said sarcastically. "Even though Albert Einstein was a bit mad, he made many great discoveries in his time. I read about him in many different science books in America. I would suggest that you read them, but I know you would just ignore me and start talking about your cameras."
"Quite bloody right, good chap," Yaten smiled, answering in a fake English accent. Yaten loved taking on accents.
"So Sere, what are your plans for school now that Taiki has that set up?" Seiya asked his girlfriend, who he had his arm around.
Serena though for a few seconds then replied, "I think I'll try out for some martial arts clubs and the archery team, if they have one, and maybe the fencing team. They should have fencing."
"They have both of those," answered Taiki, his nose stuffed in a book about the study of medical science.
"Great! Then that's what I'll do. It should keep me busy between schoolwork, concerts, and.other stuff." The others knew what Serena was talking about.
"What about my school? What kind of stuff do they have there? Do they have soccer?" Sammy asked Taiki.
"Yeah Sammy, they have soccer, tennis, and a few other sports," Taiki said and smiled at Sammy. "You'll probably have even more fun than us."
"Hmph. Don't count on it." Sammy crossed his arms and decided to look out the window for the rest of the trip, mumbling about not wanting to go to "no boring school even if it does have soccer."
"Oh stop being so immature Sammy," Serena said and turned back to Seiya. "What about you?"
"I was thinking about football, of course, and now fencing. I think those two are enough for now. What do you think?"
"Yup, I think those will take a lot of your free time. What about you, Yaten? What are your plans?" Serena asked Yaten.
"Photography of course," he answered matter-of-factly and went back to looking out the window as cars went by, like Sammy. After a moment, he added, "And maybe the art club."
Taiki looked up from his book in surprise and shared a look of utter amazement with Seiya and Serena. Never had they thought that Yaten would be interested in art.
They reached the hotel five minutes later and were escorted up to their rooms. The manager had been so happy that famous idols were staying at his hotel that he had ordered five bell hoppers to help them with their luggage and equipment. The manager had given them the largest apartment in the hotel. A suite with its own big living room, Jacuzzi, huge kitchen, spacious deck, and five large and comfortable bedrooms.
"This is perfect!" Yaten exclaimed happily and sat down on the comfortable couch.
"Great job Taiki," Seiya told his brother as he put his stuff in his chosen room. "You should choose where we stay more often."
"Yeah, this is great," Serena agreed. She set her guitar case and her two medium-sized suitcases on the bed of the room, which she had chosen because it was right next to Seiya's and Sammy's rooms.
"Thanks. I thought this place looked nice too," Taiki told them. "Oh, I have to go see to our educational arrangements. I totally forgot." He stood from the couch and headed for the cordless phone that hung in the kitchen, knowing he wouldn't be able to hear what the person from the school was saying because Seiya, Yaten, Serena, and Sammy would be talking if he used the phone in the living room. As he passed, his friends and his brothers groaned.
"I don't want to go to school. We learned stuff on Kinmoku and in America. Why do we have to learn stuff here?" Sammy complained.
"It's important to know the history and such of different planets," Taiki called back from the kitchen.
Serena, Yaten, Seiya, and Sammy all rolled their eyes in unison. Serena stood up. "I slept on the plane ride so I think I'll take a walk. Anybody wanna come along?"
Seiya replied, "I'll go, I slept on the plane too." They got their jackets and headed out the door, leaving Yaten and Sammy both staring expressionless at an anime show on TV.
