Hello! To whoever is reading this, I would like to say that this is my first fanfiction so I would love some constructive criticism. Also, I am going to post new chapters as much as I can, so if you want to, you can follow the story. Thanks! If you have any questions, leave it in a review and I'll answer it as soon as I can.
As Aria trailed behind Ina, many thoughts ran through her head. Did she make the right decision? Would she be happy in Konohana? Would the locals accept her? Her thoughts were soon interrupted by Ina's familiar accent.
"Well here we are. This is the entrance to Konohana."
Aria looked as they walked between two cherry trees followed by two stone pillars. Ina then turned to the left, down a path in a forest of bamboo. Aria followed warily.
"Where are you taking me?" Aria queried.
"To your house," Ina answered simply. "Where else do you think you are going to stay?"
Aria was going to answer, but before she could, they walked into a clearing. Her eyes could not process what she was seeing. To her left there was an acre of lush green grass, and in front of her, about fifty feet away was a small pasture and a barn. Just beyond the grass was an adorable cottage with a gazebo styled roof. It was the most beautiful place she had ever seen. Or that she could remember. As they reached the house, Ina spoke.
"Here is your house," she began. "It is already furnished so there will be no need to buy furniture." She paused for a moment as if trying to remember something. "Oh yes! I almost forgot! Nori will be here in the morning to show you how to grow plants and she will give you a town tour."
Aria looked at the house in amazement before turning to Ina.
"What do I owe you? I don't have any money yet, but-"
She stopped abruptly as Ina held up her hand.
"You owe me nothing. This is all yours."
Aria stood there, her mind filled with disbelief.
"Th-thank you!" she stuttered.
Ina smiled, "My pleasure. I shall make my way home now. It's getting late, and I must get to bed. I would suggest you do the same."
"Okay. Good bye!"
Aria entered her house. She walked around, looking at the bookshelf and kitchen. When she went to see the table, she saw that an outfit was neatly folded on it. Looking down at herself she realized how dirty she was.
"I guess I do need to change," she said to herself.
After she changed, she looked in the mirror. Looking back at her was a thin girl with sandy brown hair and gray eyes. This was the first time she ever remembered seeing herself.
She looked at her clock and saw that it was only 8:00pm , but she was extremely tired. She crawled into bed, and before any thoughts could pass through her head, she fell asleep.
I know this was a short chapter, but they will get longer. I just needed a good place to stop. The next one will be much longer, and a little more detailed. Also, I know that the story is flat, but it will get better! There is lots in store for Aria!
