In the Future...

Atsushi looked at the rest of them who were looking at Tenn's direction and to the Tenn who was caressing Riku's cheek. Feeling a bit left out, he decided to go. But before he could turned around completely, someone grab his arm making him turned back.

Ryuu looked at him, eyes full with seriousness. "We wanted to ask you some things." he said.

Atsushi nodded his head and gesture them to ask the questions.

Mitsuki looked at Riku's sleeping face and decided to voice out his curiosity. "Why did you kidnapped Riku if you were going to hand him back?" hands on his hips and head tilted slightly. Perfect with the questioning gesture.

"Nanase Riku has already effected by the Radiation due to his weak body. So, in order to keep him away from dying, we strenghten his immune system. Though, it was just a temporary." He said calmly. "And where's my tea?"

Sougo quickly go out of the room to get him some tea and came back with a tray. Teapot and a few mugs on the tray. He set it on the table and everyone sitted down on the floor, circling around the table since the couch aren't enough for everyone in the room. So basically, the only one who is on the couch, is a sleeping Riku. Tenn sitted beside him on the floor.

When they already comfortably sitted, Mitsuki ask him again. "What Radiation?"

Atsushi sipped the tea calmly and answer the question. "It was an after effect of time travelling. Only occured on the past people. Could be deadly but it's under control right now. If Nanase Tenn feels like some kind of pain on the body, please tell us or else you could die." he said while he looked at Tenn. And the said boy nodded his head.

"Oh yeah, before I forgot." Atsushi putted the mug on the table and search around his pocket. He then, pulled out some kind of a small container and gave it to Tenn. Tenn looked up to his face in question and Atsushi chuckled. "It's the Anti-Radiation medicine. If any of you two feels pain, please drink it. We can't affords the past people die or else, the current Nanase Riku and Kujou Tenn's existance will ceased and the time will change."

Tenn took the container and nodded to the man as a thanks.

"So, what exactly can we do now? Nanase have already returned, and how about they returned for good?" Gaku asked the man.

"You can't do anything. All you have to do is wait until it's settled down." Atsushi replied.

"What? Are you expecting that we're going to sitted here and doing nothing?" Gaku said, bewildred by the statement.

"Yes." Atsushi replied with a firmness in his voice. "But I wanted some volunteers to go to the past. Your friends needs some helping hands it seems."

The group were silent at first before the statement come crushing them down. "What!? So that means that some of us could go back to the past!?" Tamaki suddenly shouted, shocking the hell out of everyone in the room.

Everyone turned to look at the two teenagers who were right now still standing at the doorway. Iori looked at the olders in the room and sighed.

"Tadaima." he said and walked pass a statue Tamaki towards them. He saw Riku sleeping peacefully at the couch and raised and eyebrow. "He's back." he said, stating the fact deadpanned.

"Well, of course. Can't you see?" Atsushi said, equally deadpanned. It's not like he was the one who kidnapped the boy.

Iori stared at the man before decided to drag statue Tamaki to sit down with the rest. Sougo flicks his finger in front of the light blunette and successfully put Tamaki back to reality.

"Tamaki-kun, Iori-kun, okaerinasai." Sougo greeted them.

They both nodded their heads and turned back to Atsushi. "So, is it true? About the volunteers to go back to the past things?" Iori asked him.

Before he could say anything, the door swung open and the rest looked at the newcomer once more. They sure have a lot of visitors, huh?

"Hello...!" An old man came into their view.

Atsushi frowned by the newcomer. "Mizu? What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be guarding Nanase Riku and Kujou Tenn?"

The old man smiled. "Is that how you supposed to greet me, the elder?" and Atsushi's frown deepened.

"Right, welcome to the future, Mizu-san..." he corrected himself and Mizu nodded in approval.

"Good enough." he said while Atsushi has the urge to roll his eyes.

Mizu walked pass them, heading straight to where Riku and Tenn's direction. Tenn saw him coming and immediately stood protectively in front of him. Trying to protect Riku from the foreign old man. Mizu chuckled at his cute reaction and waved off Tenn's worry. "No need to be so protective, Tenn-kun. I'm not going to harm Riku-kun. So rest assure." Mizu said gently.

Tenn stared at him for a while before stepping aside. Though, still close to Riku and watched the old man's every movements. Mizu smiled at Tenn and reached out his right hand to Riku's head. "Let me show you some magic."

Suddenly, a blinding yellow light brightening the whole room, making them to forced close their eyes. When the light finally ceased down, they opened their eyes and saw Riku waking up from his sleep. Tenn widened his eyes as he turned to looked at the old man. "It's just a healing magic. For someone like Riku, he really needs it."

The rest of the group looked at the man, emotionless. "I was nearly forgot that there are some weird species that exist on the earth." Yamato said while the other nodded. And Atsushi? He finally rolled his eyes. 'What a show off...' and proceed to drink his tea before it gets too cold.

Riku looked around and saw Tenn's face on his view. He quickly stood up and hugged the said boy, making them both fell to the ground with Tenn at the bottom, careful to not let Riku's head collide with the floor. "Tenn-nii!"

Tenn smiled. "Welcome back, Riku."

Iori rolled his eyes. "What a brocon..." he whispered but unfortunately, Mitsuki, Sougo and Gaku heard it and shush-ed the raven haired boy.

Mizu smiled at the scene. 'Ah... I wish that their future-selves were like this too... But on second thought, it will be awkward...' He thought, sweatdropping at the last sentence.

Mizu clapped his hand, deverting everyone's attention to him. And in an instant, the playful smile vanished from his face, replaced by a serious frown. Indicating that whatever he was going to say is a really an important thing.

"Regarding the volunteers, I needed some of you to follow me back into the past and drag the ZOOL back to the future. Nanase Riku and Kujou Tenn alone aren't enough." he started.

"So, who will be the one that get into the past?" Ryuu said, a bit impatient.

"It's going to be Yaotome Gaku, Nikaidou Yamato and Yotsuba Tamaki."

The said boys tensed up upon hearing their names being called.

"You'll be needed to help the other two boys to capture the ZOOL while the rest will stay here. I've got an information about the real culprit were here, at the current time from the main base." he said and his face darken slightly. "We don't want the same thing happened just like fifteen years ago, right?"
