Melody 21
A certain someone could be spotted sitting on a fence on top of a building of some random business. His hair was ruffled by the cold wind but the figure did not make any move. He just sits there, watching the people beneath crossing road doing their own business.
"Man, it's so boring here." A whine escapes from a raspy voice of someone. "That kid probably has been captured by them right now. Heh, now we already know our targets' position, it's time to lure them out. Be ready, you idols."
The young teenage slide down from the fence as he looked back at the city below before walking away, his black jacket draped over his shoulder fluttered by the night breeze when he make his way to the exit door.
"So much for a plan." He muttered silently to no one.

Tenn readjusts the blanket that covering his twin's body. When he was arrived at the shrine, both Tamaki and Yamato were looking out of Riku for him. 'Just a minor, not that bad as what we thought it would be. Needs some rest and he would be as cheerful as usual.' Mizu had said to them.
In the background, Gaku, Yamato, and Tamaki were chattering silently, bombarding Mizu with so many questions, that Mizu looks like he does not even care to answer. Looking snug as a bug in a rug, sipping his warm tea silently as if it was the best thing in the world that he needs to cherish. After tending his brother, Tenn walks back to the others and sit between Mizu and Tamaki.
The group sits facing each other in a circular manner, making it easier for them to discuss about the things on hand, Riku is sleeping soundlessly far from them in the same room, leaving him for them to talk about their current problem. Again...
When Tenn has already sat, and Mizu has stopped sipping his tea, everyone went silent without a single sound comes out from their throats while the old man stared at each of them, trying to read their expressions. After a few minutes of analysing, Mizu finally said.
"One down, three more to go and the time isn't very nice to us too."
"We need a plan now that the three of us already arrived to help." Tenn said, glancing at the three mentioned.
Mizu and the others nodded in agreement.
Tenn looked down. He was in the middle of debating with himself whether he should tell Mizu about what the cream-haired teen had told him the clue about their culprit, the mastermind behind all of this. Tenn looked up towards Mizu's face. Sipping his tea once more and looking all calm but Tenn knew better, the old man probably racking his brain to form a plan. He turned his head towards his friends as they did the same but more obvious in motion.
Everyone seems distracted and Tenn nodded to himself. He will not tell them until the time comes. He need more time to confirming his thought about that person, Tsukumo Ryo.
The sound of the teacup being putted down snapped their heads towards the old man. "I have a plan."
"What plan, oyaji?" Yamato asked. Mizu ignored the nickname that the four-eye male gave him to continue his talk.
"We will go to have patrol around the town and this area to attract their attention. Then, eventually, they would come to us. Just like Natsume Minami did. Your current friend's selves also going to help on their current position to."
"Do they already have plan?" Gaku asked.
"On the way making it..." 'Hopefully.' The last word left unsaid in purpose. Mizu does not know what they were actually doing in the future.
"Then, what about those in Sanctuaries? What would they do? They're not gonna leave us doing all this things by ourselves, right?" Yamato furrowed his eyebrows while pushing his glasses.
"No, of course they would not. This is our duties after all, to make sure the time and space balancing with each other." Mizu paused before continues his talk. "They would interrogate Natsume Minami about his buddies and him whilst keeping us update time to time."
They nodded mutely. All right, all they have to do is follow the plan.
Yamato looked at the boy beside him. Tamaki sitting silently without a word, unlike his usual self. Fiddling with his cold tea while staring into space. Yamato have the feels that Tamaki did not even listen to what the old man had said. Worried, he wanted to call out the light blunette and ask him what has been distracting him. Maybe because of the new surroundings? Alternatively, maybe he was just uncomfortable to live in a small, old shrine. Yamato never know so he decided, he would ask the teen later.
That night, Yamato could not sleep at all, thinking about the teen while staring at the ceiling, his glasses placed safely beside his head, a bit wary since this is the first time he ever putted off his glasses in an unfamiliar place. He just hoped that Tenn and the others were already fast asleep, saving his face from be seen by anyone else.
Getting sleepy, Yamato pushed his thought away and sleep, hoping he would be the first one to wake up before the others did—even though that would be unlikely happens.
The next morning comes, the whole occupant of the shrine were shock by the disappearance of a certain light blunette. That time, Gaku was about to go out for a light morning jogging like he usually do and after he entered back to wake the others up, he noticed that someone is missing. He goes out once again to look for the blunette close at the shrine's perimeter but none. He could not find him anywhere.
"Where does Tamaki go?" Riku furrowed his eyebrows in worry. He does not know anything since yesterday's event with the enemy. He had collapsed right after he arrived at the shrine.
"He doesn't talk much yesterday too." Tenn said, touching his chin as he tried to remember the light blunette's expression.
"Really? No wonder... Does he have some problem or what?" Gaku asked as he turned to Yamato.
The dark greenette looked at him back. "What? You expect me to know?"
"No, I don't."
"Then, let's search for him at the town. There's a chance maybe he's taking a walk, buying his pudding or something." Tenn said.
"I'm coming too!"
"Are you sure, Riku? You don't look really well yesterday."
"I'm fine, Yamato-san. The more we search for Tamaki, the faster we would find him!" Riku smiled brightly, trying to reassure the four-eye male.
"I really couldn't win against you, huh..."
