The only problem was that she was lost. Completely and utterly lost. She'd gone around in a circle and still could not find the place she was looking for. And each time she tried to ask for help she was nearly run over by busy people who had no time for a shy awkward green haired girl, with most of her belongings in a green alien backpack... Who was lost. Finally someone spotted her and walked over to help. He gave Myu the directions she needed and she quickly gave the older man a hug and handshake and awkward wave about 5 thank yous and then she was finally on her way. The directions brought her into the higher class part of the city and soon the smaller houses stores were replaced with large apartment buildings, office buildings and large stores with more desk clerks then she guessed to count.
After a few more minutes of walking a large apartment building met her eye's with matching street and building numbers to the ones on the piece of paper. Relieved she quickly jogged over and pushed open the glass door into the warm and way to overdone lobby. The desk clerk looked up from her magazine bored and waited for Myu to make her way over. "Umm... I was said to ask for room key 336?" The clerk raised an eyebrow pushed herself over to her right and began to type. When she was done she began listing off names and Myu had to quickly interject when she passed by hers. The clerk sighed and nodded before pulling out a key and handing it to her.
"The apartment is on floor 13... Have a good day mam." Myu blinked and nodded before heading off toward the elevator and getting in. She fidgeted eagerly and smiled to herself wondering how ecstatic her family would have been for her if they were still here today.The elevator went up to level 10 which to Myu's surprise turned out to be the pent house. "Probably so there's enough room for all... 6 of us?" She thought to herself before stepping out of the elevator and into the large living room/kitchen. The elevator door's closed leaving Myu in silence. Judging by the lack of noise she was guessing she was the first to arrive but there might always be that other quiet person like herself. She moved over to the large window's on the other side of the room and stared down at the street's and city below with awe.
Floor thirteen. Haru "Kuro" Fujitaka was sprawled languorously across one of the beds in the suite. He knew that his younger adoptive brother, Taiga, was in the room next door. He could faintly hear him playing guitar, and Haru found himself humming along to the familiar song. Hearing the elevator in the main suite area shut with a ding, Haru half-dragged himself off of the bed and nearly face-planted on the ground. Either way, he landed with a loud thump and stumbled to his feet.
Glancing in the mirror, he ran a hand through his hair and re-pinned his bangs back, neatly positioning the red bobby pins. Satisfied with what he saw, he strode out of the room and stopped by the next room, rapping lightly on the door to get Taiga's attention. Continuing toward the main living area of the suite, he spotted a girl standing by the window. She seemed to be enjoying the view, and Haru hadn't really gone to look at it, so he strode over and leaned against the wall beside the window. He could see why she was enjoying it; it was beautiful.
"Quite the view, isn't it?" Haru smiled at the girl, bright turquoise eyes capturing the reflection of the view. "Ah, I'm Haru Fujitaka, by the way. You must be one of the girls from the contest. You can call me Haru or Kuro, if you like. I'm not too picky." he was definitely his usual chipper self; a social butterfly, some might say.
Taiga was playing his guitar rather quietly for once, partially worried that it might disturb some of the other residents. Flinching as he struck a wrong chord when Haru rapped on his door, Taiga frowned and lifted his guitar strap over his head and laid the instrument across the bed. Standing up from the desk chair, he toyed with the shiny red cartilage piercing in his left ear as he walked. Shutting the door behind him, he strode confidently into the main living area.
"Socializing already, Black Haru?" Taiga teased his elder adopted brother with his childhood nickname; a combination of the prefix of Haru's middle name (Kuroko, Kuro = black) and his first name. Knowing that the elder boy hated the nickname, Taiga found the moment perfect to tease him about it.
Walking over to join Haru and the girl by the window, he stood casually with his hands in his pockets. "I'm Taiga Fujitaka. Nice to meet you. I go by Taiga or Tetsu. Take your pick."
"What the- Oh my, you must be one of the contest girls, yeah?" He asked.

Haru frowned at Taiga as the younger boy called him by his childhood nickname. He didn't think the nickname fit him well anymore, as he was a lot more cheerful than he was back then.
Smiling at Myu, he waved a hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it! This is your home now too, you know. If I startled you, I apologize. I didn't mean to. It's lovely to meet you by the way, Miss Jiku." Haru had long been in the habit of calling people formally when he first met them, not using their first names until he either knew them well or was given permission.
"Ah, you're the composer? If I remember right, that means you'll be working with Takeo." hearing the refrigerator open, he grinned as Taka walked into the room. "Speak of the devil! Now if only we could get him to actually wear a shirt!" he grinned, obviously teasing the much younger boy.
"Oh, and you needn't thank us. We, or at least I am, enamored to have you here. Who knows what the rest of these crazy kids are thinking, especially Taiga!"
Taiga was slightly disappointed by Haru's lack of a reaction to the nickname, but he let it go for the time being. He was more interested in the fact that his stomach was growling. Disappearing into the kitchen, the sound of the stove turning on could be eardrums faintly.
"I'm cooking for six, right?" he called out to the main room.
After Haru gave an answer, the sound and smell of sizzling bacon filled the room and Taiga could be heard humming one of FLASH's more popular songs.
"Hello Takeo I'm Myu Jikku... Guess were getting paired together for this training thingy." Her voice was a little bit more nervous then before... Not because of the person she was talking to but because it was outside of her nature to speak this much to new people.
Myu heard Taiga call out from the kitchen and she raised her voice just a little too answer. "Yeah its six...I think... Pretty sure maybe..." She nervously smiled at the others and shifted her backpack awkwardly now that she was done meeting everyone currently here she kinda wanted to retreat to her quiet shell.
"Umm... Where should I put my stuff... I don't have much just the little clothes I had... a Picture and a sage plant... But I'd still like to put them somewhere..." She shifted a little from foot to foot as her green eye's met again with the view outside.
Mizuki was hopelessly lost.
Sure, she lived in Tokyo, but she was mainly confined to her corner - this was a totally different place. She wandered around and around, not realising that she was going in circles until she found that she'd passed the same building - three times.
Sighing, Mizuki had no choice but to ask a passing girl for directions. To her surprise, the girl turned out to be heading for the same address as well, part of the same female trainee group. Mizuki was surprised. What were the odds. Still, she was pleasantly surprised, and both girls made the decision to get there together.
Sayuri was very confident. She'd travelled all over Japan before, and knew the way to the apartment. So imagine her delight when a passing girl revealed that she was also part of the group Sayuri was joining. The minute Sayuri saw her, a warm feeling spread throughout her - a good sign, Sayuri decided.
She introduced herself, and found that the other girl's name was Mizuki. Uncharacteristically friendly, Sayuri offered to go with Mizuki. She watched as the other girl's face lit up. Of course, she agreed.
So it was with Sayuri's expert map-reading skills that the girls reached the apartment. They went up without any further delays, and entered to see a beautiful penthouse. Mizuki was delighted, and hopped all over the place.
Sayuri, on the other hand, was more cautious. Peering inside, she saw what Mizuki had missed - another girl and three boys in the penthouse. One boy was cooking, Sayuri realised - her stomach gave a rumble to remind her that it'd been a while since breakfast.
"Hello!" Sayuri called out, stepping into the kitchen. She beamed at the boys, but was quick to avert her eyes when she realised one was shirtless. "I'm Sayuri Miyamoto - I just arrived with the other girl."
