"I hear were getting a new student."
"Again? Goodness, every time we get a new student it's either a new ally or a new enemy."
"Makoto, don't say that."
"Well look at the odds. Sanjouin, enemy. Ann and Ail, enemy. Suzu,"
"Enemy." They all said at once.
"But the Saiya, Taiki and Yaten weren't!"
"4 against 3, Usagi.
"Maybe this new one will even the odds."
"That a way Ami-Chan! Let's go!"
Later that morning, Usagi and the girls went to class. As they sat in there seats, a girl with bright red hair walked in the door."
"Hey Usagi! You done with my CD player?"
"Odori!?!?!"
"Hey!"
"Class this is Kazoku Odori. I see you met Usagi, why don't you sit behind her."
"Yes sensei."
After class, Usagi held out Odori's CD player. Usagi looked a little disappointed about giving it back. Odori unzipped her backpack and pulled out a pink CD player.
"I'll trade ya?"
"Oh cool! Thanks Odori!"
"Your welcome. And if any of your friends want one, just ask. I got a stockpile at home."
"Wow! You must be loaded!"
"My parents are real estate managers. So, yeah, I guess we are loaded. By the way who are your friends?"
"This is Ami, Minako and Makoto."
"So where are you from? You look like your from Ireland or something."
"My grandparents are. They moved to America from Ireland and had my mom in America. My dad's from Japan and they both met in America at collage, I've been living in America but I've also lived in Ireland with my grandparents."
"Wow!"
"You must know all kinds of languages." Ami added.
"I do. Irish, Japanese, American English, Scottish, Chinese, Korean, England English, French and Spanish. I'm also fluent in all of them too."
"That's so cool!"
"Have you been to all those other places like France and Spain?" Asked Minako.
"Oh yes, because of my parents' work, I travel a lot with them."
"What's your favorite country?" Asked Makoto.
"Ireland, everything's so green and unspoiled. The beautiful castles and wonderful food." Odori said as her stomach grumbled. "Opps, speaking of food, I forgot my lunch."
"Makoto's a great cook. She made all our lunches. We can share with you."
"Thank Usagi. You guys are awesome."
Odori told the girls all about the places she had been and things she had seen, in between bites of food.
"The Eiffel Tower is great. They have a restaurant on the very top that you can see the whole city from. In Spain I went to a festival where they take big trucks full of tomatoes and have a big tomato fight in the streets. I got so dirty!"
"That's sounds like fun!"
"Why do they throw tomatoes?!"
"Cause It's a harvest festival. Tomatoes to them is like what rice is to Japan."
"But you don't see us throwing rice at each other." Said Makoto.
The girls busted into laughter.
"You guys are great. You've all be so kind to me. You know, I really haven't had many friends in my life."
"We like you Odori because your a good person. No because you've been to all these places."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Thank you, all of you."
The bell rang and they returned to class. Later, Haruka and Michiru saw them all in the halls.
"Oh hey Haruka! Hey Michiru! This is Odori."
"Hello. I'm new here. You must be more friends of Usagi. Man, she's got more friends right here then I've had my whole life."
"It's nice to meet you Odori."
"Yes, very nice to meet you."
There voices were low and quiet. They both quickly walked off.
"Don't worry. There nice when you get to know them."
"I'll bet, let's get to class. Where is it again?"
Later, after school, the girls decided to introduce Odori to Rei at the temple. Odori danced in front of them, her skirt twirling in the wind. Minako joined in with her and they danced all the way to Rei's.
"So this is Rei's temple. Looks cool on the outside." Odori said.
"The inside's cool too."
"I've seen it." She whispered.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
"Hey you guys. Who's the new girl?" Rei said as she walked outside.
"This is Odori."
"Pleased to meet you. Usagi and the girls say your their resident Shaman."
"I'm flattered but I'm no shaman. Just a young Miko who does fire readings."
"Fire readings. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, see any nasty demons? Evil ghosts? Visions of Death? Wahahahahahahahahaha!" Odori gushed as she crept around Rei, trying to scare her and not doing a very good job.
"Nope, just your run-of-the-mill readings. But I did get a weird one about two nights ago."
"A horrible one?"
"No just.... weird. I saw a CD, a pencil and a paintbrush. Then a bright light. That was it."
"Maybe it was showing gifts Usagi might get. I just gave her one of my CD players. Maybe she's getting some paints and pencils."
"That might be it Rei! I love to draw and paints are cool."
"Yeah but what about the light?"
"Maybe it means a light of good fortune will shine on Usagi when she receives the gifts. My CD players are all lucky cause I've never had one break on me."
"Hey maybe you should be a miko since you sound like your so good with these readings. I'd better watch it or I'll be out of a job."
"Nah. I'm just a good guesser."
"Welcome to the group Odori!"
"Thanks Usagi."
"Again? Goodness, every time we get a new student it's either a new ally or a new enemy."
"Makoto, don't say that."
"Well look at the odds. Sanjouin, enemy. Ann and Ail, enemy. Suzu,"
