CHAPTER 4
Three years later
" I have to get to going", Rika was meeting her friends from college at the beach. Hikari or Kari Kamiya and Zoey Ingue were already there." Rika!" Zoey called, waving her hands." Sorry I'm late." She said walking over," Where were you?" Asked Kari," Sorry, I had to wash my swimsuit." Rika replied apologetically.
The fifteen year-olds stayed at the beach the whole afternoon. When it was time to go the girls said bye and went their separate ways. When Rika got home she saw three tickets plus three V.I.P passes to a 'round the world tour with 'R2TK'." Mom, what are these?" She asked," Go have some fun, darling." Her mother called from the kitchen. Rika would ask Kari and Zoey if they wanted to go.
(...)
The next day Rika called Kari and Zoey and asked if they wanted to go on the tour with 'R2TK'. They both said yes, and they packed for a year at least. The first place to go to meet them was Odiaba. It was pretty close, so they took the train. It was five only stops away.
When they got to the hotel where "R2TK" was staying, all Rika had to do was flash her pass and the young man at the counter knew exactly what they were there for. The young man opened the door and let them in. All that was heard was gasps and running, Rika's world went black.
When she woke up she found a young man about sixteen years old, blond hair and blue eyes, sitting on the couch beside her." Kari she's awake." he called," Thanks T.K.," "T.K.?" Rika thought," Are you OK?" Kari asked her," Yea, I think so. Wait, did I faint?" She asked
Kari gave her a weird grin." You blacked out for a minute, or two." She replied sheepishly," How long was I out?" Rika growled," A few hours." Came a lower voice behind Kari. Rika Sat up and looked over at another boy, with blue hair and purple eyes, about the same age as T.K." Kouji?" She whispered," Hi Rika." Kouji Minimoto a 'friend' from chess club, had just walked in, from what Rika could make out, and was the kitchen.
" Kouji?" Everyone looked over to the other couch, Zoey, who had obviously fainted as well, had sat up and was staring at Kouji. He walked over and helped her up, whispered something to her, and in response Zoey nodded. Kouji walked her out to the kitchen." That was strange." Rika murmured, Kari who was still sitting on the couch heard her an after a little while talked. "They probably just need to talk." In response, Rika and T.K. just nodded.
