Soreina had woken up while Kiku was still sleeping. She decided to read some of the manga books that were already left on the shelf, until it was really the time to wake up. As she was reading, her Iphone rang loudly on the bedside table. She picked up to hear a very familiar voice screaming through the other end.

"Hey Soreina! I forgot to ask you about this! When will you be coming home from the funeral thingy?"

"Uh Marley... they say that I have to stay here for quite a long time to straighten things out and get everything back to normal... so you know... I could be here for quite a while..." Soreina replied.

"Ok dude... Oh! AND ONE MORE THING! Be safe okay!? And i hope you have a good time at your friend's house okay!?"

"Okay... I will..." Soreina replied smiling as she hung up.

Soreina got out of her bed to take an early morning shower. There was nobody in the bathroom so she went in and locked the door of the bathroom door just in case.


As Soreina had finished her shower, she came out the door wearing the same coat and black leggings just like what she wore yesterday. As she went to the living room, there was silence and it sounded like that there was no one in the house. Soreina went to the kitchen and found a sticky note on the table. She picked it up and started to read it.

'I have a meeting with my boss and today,

I would probably be with my boss for the whole day and might not come back until night.

You can get some food in the fridge or anywhere if you want

Kiku Honda

"Wow... it looks like Kiku wasn't sleeping in after all... he's one busy guy too... Soreina thought as she opened the fridge to see what food was in it. The first thing she saw in the fridge was frozen noodle packs, leftover sushi, a bowl of rice, some cans of coke left from last night, some other japaneasy stuff she didn't recognized and oddly enough, a half eaten burger and so on.

"Maybe i'll check the cupboards..." She thought.

Soreina moved to the other side of the kitchen to open the cupboards. She opened them to find that there was more food in it than the fridge. There was bread, a box of cereal, a slice of strawberry cake in a plastic container and other food. Soreina decided that she would eat a piece of strawberry cake until she remembered that she actually wanted to eat pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast.

"I'll just go and cook one of my grandma's easy 20 minute pancake recipes!"


Twenty minutes later, Soreina had already made pancakes and was eating in the living room while watching some random Japanese morning show. She could understand most of the words that the reporters were talking about, about some kind of festival that is. She was getting a bit bored with watching the show so she decided to call Marley. She picked up the phone, dialled Marley's number and prepared herself for her friend's loud voice.

"Hey Marley!"

"Hey Soreina! Dude! I'm starting to miss you already...

"Really now?"

"Yeah! Without you here, the manager is not as happy as before when you were around... so is everyone else!"

"Hahahah!"

"So Soreina! How was life recently?

"Quite great actually, I've made some new friends..."

"Really? Who are they?"

"Well... my only new friends are mostly guys..."

"They didn't make a bad move on you did they? If I meet them I'll beat the hell out of them if they did..."

"No they didn't! which reminds me! I have made a new friend! She sometimes hangs out with me and has a frying pan hidden in her dress, just in case some of the guys get annoying..."

"Really? Thats hilarious!"

"Yeah... but she means well..." Soreina replied as she was now walking around the house. As she was walking around, she found a back door which led out to a Zen garden with a big hot spring divided into two sections.

"Oh my god that is so cool!"

"Wait! What is it?" Marley asked on the other side of the phone line.

" Kiku has a hot spring spa in his back yard!"

"Really? Is this guy rich or something?"

"Ha ha... you could say that... you know what, I'm going to try it out!"

"Really Soreina? Okay then... have fun in the hot spa... i'm just gonna go and play some gun and gore fighting game on the Wii okay? Bye!"

"Bye Marley!" Soreina replied back as she pressed the end button on her phone.

"Well! I think i'll go get my clothes!" she said aloud to herself and went back to her room to get a towel and some new clothes.


Soreina's POV

I sighed as I sunk my body into the nice warm water of the hot spring. I hadn't been to a good spa since...well.. ever...

It was nice for my new friends to plan this whole trip in the first place! I mean it's not everyday that someone gets a free ticket to travel around the whole world! Speaking about travelling... i think i'm going to tour around this place when i'm finished having my nice warm bath.

I basically had nothing to do when I was in the small hot spring, so I just watched the sakura flowers fall from the trees and onto the smooth surface of the warm water. I moved the delicate flowers with my finger to make a heart shape floating on the water. I started to think about how i got here, if only uncle was still alive so I can send him postcards... but thats just... not possible anymore...

What might have seemed like ages, I decided to finished my warm bath and change to get ready for my tour.

I got out of the hot spring and wrapped a towel around myself and picked up my clothes. As i was walking into the house and down the hallway, I had forgotten something.

"Oh! I might as well get my phone charger to charge my Iphone, so i can take more photos!" i smiled with that great idea. As I walked into the living room, i had came across the most unexpected and embarrassing situation i had in a lifetime.

Right there, sitting on the living room couches was Feliciano, Romano, Antonio, Gilbert, Ludwig, Francis, Alfred, Arthur, WangYao, Ivan and Kiku. As they all turned to look at me, each and every face started blushing one by one. I on the other hand, tried to keep calm and not show my embarrassment. There was only one thing left to do...

I stared at them back, spun on my heel, and walked away to my room without saying a single word.

I'll think I will only use my camera...


Regular POV

By the time Soreina left the living room, Everybody's faces were still dusted with a furious blush of what they just saw. Silence lasted for a few minutes until Alfred decided to speak up.

"D-dudes... did you just see that?" He asked, blushing.
