Previously:

Closer and closer Ottokai leant to kiss Haruka but fortunately Shouki and Masaki were there to stop him.

After playing his violin, Syo heard from Chika about Haruhi and the others. Enraged, he left the house holding the piece that belonged to Shouki.

Tokiya gave up pretending to be HAYAME. He called for Ceigo but unfortunately, he wasn't there. As he left the house in search for Haruka, a green blur passed by him not knowing that it was Ceigo.

Meanwhile in the present:

"I know how to bring them back or more like, I know how to get in." Ryuuya said.

"What?"


PRESENT

"What do you mean you know how to get in?" Ren asked. There was a pause before Ryuuya spoke again.

"You said that your composer went to find a book and you said it was something 'Masika…' or somewhere around those lines right?" They all nodded.

"Well, then I might know what happened. This was years ago even before QUARTET NIGHT was formed… When we were just about to start teaching."

FLASHBACK

"Where could the President be?" Ringo, who still kept his short hair and his masculine features, asked a younger version of Ryuuya. He only replied back in irritation.

"I've been searching with you this whole time. I don't know!"

Ringo pondered for a bit before realizing something, his face brightening up. "Wait, lunch just finished right?"

"Yeah. So?"

He smiled as he took Ryuuya's wrist and dragged him. Surprisingly enough for Ryuuya, he couldn't pull from his grip. Later, he found himself with Ringo in the President's office.

"We're not supposed to be here." Ryuuya said. He saw his companion jump on the sofa, getting comfortable.

"What are you doing?"

"Waiting for the President to come…" He replied as he stretched. His fingers brushed against something on the side table. He sat up and realized that it was a book. Ringo pulled out the bookmark and opened it at the page it was on. The chapter read "Shining Castle" and with that he was sucked in. The book fell on the floor with a loud thump.

"Ringo!" Ryuuya reached out but he was too late. He looked around and saw that no one was in the room but him. He picked up the book and opened the page with the bookmark. Then also he was sucked in.

He found himself in an ice-like palace on the floor just next to Ringo who seemed to be unconscious.

"Where am I?" He asked himself but to his surprise, somebody from behind answered.

"You're 300 years into the past Mr. Hyuuga… In the Shining Castle…" He turned around and there he saw the very man they were looking for. Ryuuya stood up abruptly.

"I knew you were a weird man Shining-san but this is going too far! This doesn't make sense." He said. Then he appeared from behind Shining, a young man wearing a green kimono who looked could've been mistaken as a younger version of him if not for Shining's body figure and glasses. Around his neck was a pale blue necklace.

"Ah… So these are your future teachers. Hyuuga-sensei and that one lying on the ground there drooling is Tsukimiya-sensei I presume." The young man said.

"You are right! Now, Mr. Hyuuga, why are you here? And seeing that you are here, another thing that I may ask is why you went inside my office without permission." He said.

"Ah err… We were looking for you to talk about which classes we're going to teach because you didn't make it clear to us." Ryuuya replied.

"Ah yes… Well anyways… Massssssssster Mitsui, I shall be taking my leave now with these men. And don't worry, I will make sure that everything falls into place." He turned to the young man called Mitsui. Ryuuya was then a little bit shocked when he called the young man, Master.

"I am counting on you about that Shining-san." He nodded as Mitsui held his necklace and closed his eyes as if he was praying. He then turned to them and grinned much like Shining's grin and snapped his fingers.

And when Ringo woke up, he was lying on the couch.

"I request that you forget about all that Mrrr. Hyuuga." Upon hearing his voice, Ringo stood up and went towards Shining's side.

"Shining-san, we would like to talk to you about my appearance." He said seriously.

"Hah?! I thought we were here to talk about our classes!"

BACK TO PRESENT

"… And that's what happened. The book was called 'The Place of Masikawa.' We studied that last year for your finals." Ryuuya said.

"And then? What made Tsukimiya-san change his appearance?" Nagi asked seriously as if waiting for a sequel. A tick appeared on Ryuuya's forehead as he shouted.

"That's not the point!... Well, my point is that it might've happened again. I think we should look for the book and we might get transported into wherever they might've gone." Hope glimmered in almost everyone's eyes.

"Well let's find that book then!" Eichii said. For once, everyone agreed with him. Ryuuya then called out to everyone.

"Once you find the book, contact everyone and bring it here. Do not read a word of it!"

WEST MASIKAWA: EICHOURI, KIRAKI, AND NAGISA

They walked just outside the town where there was an open field since they can't walk freely in the town and there were barely any alleyways they could go through. They were having lunch in ecstasy with the food they stole from the oblivious vendor.

"This is the best food I've had in days." Nagisa voiced out everyone's thoughts.

"Yeah this is the best." Eichouri agreed. "Don't you think so Kiraki?"

He nodded. Kiraki then took a bite from the bread and said. "How are we going to find her after this?"

"Ah…" His companions said in the sudden realization.

"Ehem… Well, we're not. We're waiting to have her gather all of the good stuff before we get to plunder all of the songs." Eichouri said proudly.

"Hey… I just realized this… Are still doing this to make that dream debut? And have it depend on a girl who's currently lost and greatly naive?" Nagisa said.

"Well…" Eichouri thought for a while before he replied, "Whatever! That girl will be fine…"

"Are you sure? She followed strangers like us." Then the thought came to Eichouri about Haruka following some weird stranger which worried him. He then shook the thought and made an excuse to himself that he was worried because of the reward.

"Geh?!" They heard someone from behind them say. Then there they saw him who was always fanboying over that one teacher.

"Shouki!" shouted Nagisa as he gave a tight hug. "How's the teacher's pet been doing?"

"W-What the heck?! Let go of me!" He pushed him away. Nagisa was shocked and his two companions raised an eyebrow.

"So mean Shouki! Nagisa is hurt." Crocodile tears fell down his face.

"Don't compare me with that coward." He hissed.

"What do you mean?" Eichouri asked as he finished the last piece of the bread he was eating.

"I don't have time to talk with you. I have to find Nanami and get outta here." He then turned to leave but then was suddenly grabbed by the ankle which caused him to trip on his face. He held his nose and turned to Kiraki who caught his foot.

"If you're looking for that girl, we can help you." Eichouri said as if he didn't trip.

"What?! You know Nanami?"

"Tell us your name." Kiraki said as he let go of his ankle and proceeded to eat his bread slowly.

"It's Shouki right guys?" Nagisa said in confusion to the others.

"No, he might be like her. Remember that girl had a lookalike years ago." Eichouri said as Nagisa nodded.

"Syo… Not Shouki… So where is she?"

"Hey, we told you we'd help you. We don't know where she is…" Eichouri snatched Kiraki's bread and gobbled it all up much to Kiraki's dismay. They stood up and patted off the dust and grass from their clothing.

"Tch… Fine, it's not that I really need the help from HEAVENS anyways." Syo said. The three looked at each other.

"HEAVENS? What kind of lame name is that?" Nagisa muttered.

HARUKA NANAMI

Haruka felt the tension in the air between the three men in front of her. A minute passed and it seemed like an eternity just standing there with the tension. She decided to speak up.

"Oh! Hijirikawa-san and Kurusu-san, what are you doing here?"

"We were taking one last patrol to look for this guy. I can't believe he actually got the message." Shouki pointed at Ottokai who was still down from the previous situation.

"Speaking of that, we're late for the meeting. We must go Kurusu." Masaki said. Shouki nodded and took Ottokai by the wrist and started pulling him. Haruka was a few feet behind deciding on what to do. She was about to follow the violin's sound.

"Hey peasant! Are you coming?" Shouki shouted.

"Am I?" She replied. The three men looked at each other and shrugged. "Why not? When we were called here, it didn't seem that it was anything serious." Ottokai said finally pulling away from Shouki.

"Ok!" She walked slowly towards them but then someone held her by the wrist.

"Nanami-san!" She turned around and saw two familiar faces out of breath. "Toriyama-kun? Ceigo-san?"

"No, it's us Tokiya and Cecil."

End! Long time no see!
