Chapter 6

Amu's POV

Yup, there are definitely more weirdoes in this place. Ok so, the first thing I saw when we walked into what I thought was the information center or office I saw earlier, was a girl wearing a kimono dancing a traditional Japanese dance in front of a fountain for no apparent reason.

I mean is it some sort of welcoming gesture? And it gets weirder than that. Right when the music stopped and the 'girl' noticed us she stopped dancing and took out her bow that held her hair in a ponytail.

You would think that that'd be normal right? Like, so what? She's just taking out her ponytail. But nooo when 'she' took it out, and let her hair down it took me a few seconds to realize that it was a boy!

(A/N Please note that I have nothing against male dancers. This is JUST for the story!)

I don't know about the others, but I was definitely shocked. I didn't show it on the outside, but on the inside I was sputtering gibberish.

Yaya was not poised at all she was stuttering and gasping all over the place.

Then what shocked me the most (and I don't know why) was when Ikuto said, "Sup Nagi". Seriously?! He knows this kid!? I showed the slightest disbelief on my face, and I guess Ikuto saw it because he bent down with his hands in the pockets of his jeans (remember he's a head taller than me, and a year older), and said to me in my ear, "Don't be so surprised. You're being rude."

Ok, ok that is the SECOND time somebody has called me rude to my face. And apparently I would be cut off a SECOND time by the same guy in one day. Because when I tried to yell something back he looked up AGAIN and told the guy who was dancing earlier to introduce himself. Ugh! I am so mad right now.

"Hi, I'm Fujisaki Nagihiko, but you can call me Nagi. So, Ikuto these were the ones we were told about?"

"Yep" Ikuto replied plainly.

"Wait, wait, wait." I cut in. (FINALLY)

"Does everybody here know who we are?"

"I guess, I mean it is a small town after all." Yukari answered.

I was about to smile because that would mean that we were popular around here. But Ikuto quickly added, "But you're not popular in a good way if that's what you were thinking."

I turned around and found him leaning against a wall. How did he get there without me noticing? My almost smile quickly became a frown.

Humph well whatever I'm popular anyway who cares if it's in a bad way.

"Well that wasn't what I was thinking." I huffed while crossing my arms.

He just shrugged.

I turned around and started to walk towards where the girls were gathered. Hmm… I should probably go clothes shopping. I just didn't get to pack enough! 3 suitcases? We're girls! We need so much more than that. I really hope that they have a mall around here.

When I was gathered around Yukari with the rest of the girls we were led outside into the sweltering heat again. I so have to change later. Yukari took us to where we would be staying.

"Wahh! This is so cool!"

"Yaya, that's the second time you've said that today." Rima said. Hmm it seems like today is a day of second's.

"But it is cool!"

Rima grunted before looking around herself. We were currently standing outside the cabin (A/N cottage? I dunno. Bear with me here. Lol). It was a fairly large sized cabin.

(A/N I don't know if this happens to you or not, but it happens to me, I forget what POV the story is told from. So if you're like me and forgot we're in Amu's POV in this chapter.)

It wasn't like those small log cabins you would find in children's stories. The cabin had two stories with a large balcony on the second floor facing the front of the house. The color of the wood that the place was made out of was this reddish brown color. There were a few steps in the middle of the length of the cabin made out of wooden planks that was connected to the porch which was also made out of the same colored wood.

There were a few bushes and colorful flowers near the bottom of the porch.

When we went inside through the wooden door the first thing we saw was the living room. As it turned out this cabin is very open and spacious. There was a sliding glass door at the other side of the room leading to the backyard from where we stood.

On the wall to our right was a stone fireplace that was the height of the whole wall. The stone stood out in a good way from the wood. Above the fireplace mantle was a mounted flat screen TV.

Across from that, against the left wall that was connected to an open staircase was a sectional sofa that was very big. It was a brown leather sofa. There was a coffee table in the middle of the room between the fireplace and sofa. Near the sliding glass doors on the other side of the room from where we were, was a big brown leather recliner.

On the ceiling which was very high had 5 flood lights (A/N those really big light bulbs) that helped illuminate the place.

Since the floor was all wood there was a big fluffy white rug underneath the coffee table. It seemed like a pretty cozy place.

Moving on from the living room, we went through a doorway with no door on the wall to our right beside the fireplace which led us to the kitchen. The kitchen was also fairly large with all new appliances. Like a fancy toaster or oven. The cabinets and refrigerator were all filled with food. Right beside the kitchen was the dining room.

There was a brown rectangular dining table there with eight seats, three on each long side, and one on each end.

There were various windows scattered around the cabin that let plenty of light in. Along with plenty of lamps here and there for more light.

Then we left that part of the house to go to the left wall which had a small hallway that had a door to a study, a bathroom, and a small closet.

On the wall with the front door hung a beautiful painting of a meadow with a house in the distance. Underneath the large painting was a small table that had an empty bowl on it for which I assumed was for the mail.

We finally went up the stairs that were open so we could see the whole living room from the top. On the wall away from the other side that was open but had a railing to keep you from falling were several rooms that were for us. The 4 doors were lined up side by side with a little space in between. Since there were 6 of us 2 of us had to share a room. The fourth was a guest room. I wonder who would ever need the fourth room. Hmm…

Past the rooms where you had to turn to the right was another small hallway with a bathroom, and a closet. At the end of that small hall there was a window that let you see the side of the house.

After we took the tour of the cabin we were assigned rooms. I shared a room with Utau while Rima shared one with Yaya, and Lulu shared one with Akira.

Mine and Utau's room was the first door from the stairs, Akira and Lulu's was right next to ours, then it was Rima and Yaya. The guest room was at the end.

When we went in the rooms we saw all our luggage that was promised to be delivered, sitting by the bench in front of the king sized canopy bed. The room had a brown dresser, a nightstand on either side of the bed, and two closets. I guess one for each of us.

Luckily we had our own bathroom connected to the room so we wouldn't have to walk through the whole cabin to get to a bathroom.

I looked at the other side of the room across from the door and saw a sliding glass door that led to a balcony. I walked over to the door, opened it, and stepped out into the evening breeze. It was already around 8:00PM so the sun was starting to set.

The scenery was actually beautiful. There were mountains in the far distance and the sun was just peeking out from behind them. I noticed that our cabin was farther from the town so I guess that's how we got to see all this nature. I was impressed, and I have to admit that I'm very hard to impress.

It was starting to get late so I went back into the room and slid the door closed behind me. When I was back inside I saw Utau lying down on the bed with her eyes closed, already changed into her PJ's. I guess the whole day really tired her out.

I decided that I needed to sleep to so I went to go brush my teeth and get ready for bed. I didn't really feel like eating a late dinner. When I finished, I closed the curtains over the sliding glass door, locked our bedroom door, and turned off the lamp on the nightstand on my side of the bed.

I tossed and turned a bit before falling asleep.

Thank you for reading! Also be expecting the next chapter next week I assure you it is full of juicy stuff. I already wrote it. :)
