*RING RING* My phone rang loudly throughout the room.

"Hello?"

"Hana, it's good to hear your voice. How is Tokyo?"

It's was Eisuke.

"It's wonderful here, better than when you and I came down here."

"Ah, How is everyone treating you? How is your shoulder?"

"Everyone's been nice, everything's like it used to be. It's way better than yesterday that's for sure."

"Okay, well I have to get back to work. Just wanted a quick check up. See you soon."

"Bye."

I was exhausted from the night before. The mission we did was fairly simple, just a simple painting from a museum. But for some reason it wore me out more then expected.

I put on a pair of leggings and a dark grey top throwing my hair into a messy bun heading downstairs. I wasn't overly concerned about my physical appearance today.

"Morni-"

No one was downstairs.

Where are they?

I looked in the kitchen and anywhere else they might be and they weren't there.

"Seriously guys where are you." I said in silence.

I took my phone out checking if I had any recent texts or calls. Nothing.

I decided to grab the key to LRN that was tucked away in my purse in case I ever needed it. If they weren't going to take me around town I'll just do it myself. I walked out locking it and headed for the same park Takuto and I were at yesterday.

I sat down and pulled out my sketch pad doodling the gorgeous trees.

"Mind if I sit here?"

"Sure." I didn't look up so see who it was. I was more focusing on my sketch.

"Beautiful day, the weather is only perfect like this once in a while."

"Yes that is true."

"You look oddly familiar, do I know you by any chance?"

I looked up to see Mr. Hishikura and my heart dropped.

"I-I don't think so."

"What's your name?"

I fiddled for a name I had used before for my many disguises.

"Rin Saitou."

"Hm, oh well. You look like someone I used to know. Have a good day." Mr. Hishikura walked away suddenly leaving me feel uneasy.

My phone beeped and I had a text from Takuto.

"Who the hell was that?"

"You're following me?"

"Get to LRN now."

I put my sketch pad and phone away heading for the restaurant.

I walked in the door to see angry faces of everyone.

"I did not sign up to be ridiculed on my vacation." I said folding my arms.

"Didn't you see the note on the table this morning?" Riki said.

"No. I got ready and went to the park."

"Well, we left a note giving you an address to go to. It was supposed to be a surprise."

"Oh, well what was it?"

"The fair grounds, it happens to be in town while you are here so we wanted to take you."

"We used to go together as kids every day we could when it was here." Hiro said.

"Yeah, that was fun. But it isn't that big of a deal."

"We also wanted to ask if you had made your decision yet." Riki added.

Everyone was looking at me, I felt very nervous all of a sudden. Last night was a lot of fun. I just didn't know how I would handle this with being in a relationship with Eisuke. But then a sudden idea crossed my mind.

"Hey boss have you ever considered branching out and having another restaurant?" I said.

"I've considered it, I just don't know where that would be."

"How about Dubai? I would be willing to come back if you added another restaurant there. I can talk to Eisuke about it even being in the hotel."

"That's so far from here though." Takuto said.

"You want me back right?" I smirked. I knew that they couldn't refuse this. After the extensive training I endured with the Fire Crows I was better on missions then ever before.

"Alright, we're off to Dubai then." Atsumu smiled and clapped his hands. "Everyone get your stuff together, I'll call in some people to help here while we are there. We leave tomorrow afternoon!"

Everyone left to get their stuff ready. I was excited. My friends would be coming with me to Dubai, I would get to have pork noddles and miso soup whenever I wanted now.
