Hikaru Mitsuharu: *listens*
Kaede Hitori: If gusei-mo have to answer... anta do not belong here..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks around as he steps in*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well.... I dont usually just walk into others homes
Hikaru Mitsuharu: unless im working of course
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *Smirks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *removes his robe and mempo*
Kaede Hitori: Anta don't usually talk to others either..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs*
Kaede Hitori: Figured gusei would give this place more.. comfort
Kaede Hitori: *shrugs*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks everything over, nodding slighty as he does so*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: it is looking quite nice Kaede
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *moves to not be in her way*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *glances over at her noticing she is still wearing her cover*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: i need to get out of this armor.
Kaede Hitori: Why are anta in it?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: was out earlier
Hikaru Mitsuharu: never go out without it
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods once*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: want to come along?
Kaede Hitori: Gusei suppose
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *figures he'll show her his place since she hasnt seen it yet*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: after you
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grabs some things out of the footlocker*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods to her*
Kaede Hitori: *eyes the weaponry*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: make yourself at home
Hikaru Mitsuharu: i'll return in a moment
*He moves into his room to change*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *pulls his armor off and stuffs it in his pack*
Kaede Hitori: That's some fine craftsmanship.. looks like the same person that did mine.. [rofl]
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *puts his cloths on slowly, making sure he puts the gloves on last*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *holds his Kasa in his hand as he walks back out*
Kaede Hitori: *looks over the icon*
Kaede Hitori: *eyes the tecpatl*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *stands back from her a bit, watching silently*
Kaede Hitori: *folds her arms a bit and turns to look to him noting he's returned and changed, she nods a bit*
Kaede Hitori: Better?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods, looking over at her, wanting to ask the same question*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: everything alright then?
Kaede Hitori: *nods slowly*
Kaede Hitori: Hai.. fine..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods a bit, knowing otherwise*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *points over to the training dummies*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: you can come here and use the dojo anytime you wish
Kaede Hitori: It's been awhile since gusei stepped foot in one..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods with a slight grin*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well, i wont hold that against you
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *smiles over at her ever so slightly*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: any of the weapons also... they are for training afterall
Kaede Hitori: *nods slowly*
Kaede Hitori: Hai..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: whats mine is yours.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: and since im not here too ofter, i figure someone mine as well make use of it
Hikaru Mitsuharu: in my absence
Kaede Hitori: *shrugs*
Kaede Hitori: Gusei-mo not around often either
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods slightly almost forgetting they share the same profession*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well, either way
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs*
Kaede Hitori: Gusei appreciate the offer, none the less
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods once*
Kaede Hitori: *would smile faintly if it mattered*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: do you mind if I ask you a question?
Kaede Hitori: *shakes her head*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: how has business been lately?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *walks over and leans up against one of the dummies*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *turning back to face her*
Kaede Hitori: I've not done much since locating you..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods a bit*
Kaede Hitori: Or rather.. Tetsu
Hikaru Mitsuharu: then i suppose i have affected your income
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *smirks slightly*
Kaede Hitori: Mildly.. I've plenty to work with however
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs a bit as his hand was making its way into his pocket*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well then, i guess i dont need to be giving you this then...
Kaede Hitori: *watches him curiously, slight cant of her head*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: to make up for the trouble
Hikaru Mitsuharu: of course
Kaede Hitori: There was no trouble
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *lets his hand go back to his side*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well, i tried
Kaede Hitori: If I couldn't have afforded to do as I did, I wouldn't have
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *tilts his head a bit, glancing over at her*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods as she says it*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: i suppose so
Kaede Hitori: Though I think I could manage with a few days off after so many years..
Kaede Hitori: *shrugs*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins*
Kaede Hitori: *leans against the wall*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: i have found, that even on days off you are never truely off
Kaede Hitori: True enough
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *follows her with his eyes*
Kaede Hitori: *pulls the mempo down from her face*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *was just about to ask her if she felt uncomfortable in doing so*
Kaede Hitori: *had that feeling*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: go on, make yourself comfortable.... though
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *glances around*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: i suppose i need a few chairs
Hikaru Mitsuharu: im just so used to sitting on the floor
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs with a grin*
Kaede Hitori: Looks that way.. though the floor is well enough..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: not used to having anyone here as well.... other then Tetsu or Sahn
Kaede Hitori: Though I still do have my armor on.. what little I do make use of
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods slightly, glancing over casually*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *lowers himself to the floor, in his traditional kneeling/sitting position*
Kaede Hitori: Oddly enough I was in the middle of changing when anta caused the explosion last evening..
Kaede Hitori: Still haven't really managed to finish..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *smirks hearing that*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well, dont let me interrupt
Hikaru Mitsuharu: if you wish to change, i will wait here for you
Kaede Hitori: I'll be alright
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods once*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: so, where did we leave off last evening?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *thinks a moment*
Kaede Hitori: Trying to pry any interesting things that have happened in my life.. yet none are present..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: pry you say?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *fakes a hurt look*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *not too convincingly either*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: just thought it would be nice to catch up on the past twenty years that we
Hikaru Mitsuharu: lost out on
Kaede Hitori: Hai.. nice.. though I think I told you about mine..
Kaede Hitori: The nine years before I came here was..
Kaede Hitori: Well mostly uneventful.. me and my sister didn't get along too well but when it came time for
Kaede Hitori: training.. everything else ceased
Kaede Hitori: Which was majority of the time
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods as he listens silently*
Kaede Hitori: Every now and then I'd sneak out of the house.. never really successfully..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins a bit hearing that*
Kaede Hitori: Efforts to see if you had returned or not.. though even looking in on your house found me nothing
Kaede Hitori: If I ever manged to end up missing.. they knew where to find me anyway..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: i can see where you get it from
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *glances over slightly, thought still mostly looking straight ahead still*
Kaede Hitori: What's that..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: they always managed to track you down, to know where and how to find you.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: you have done the same in managing to track and find me after all this time
Kaede Hitori: Indeed.. I did learns some things here and here of how to track down certain individuals..
Kaede Hitori: Though their ability to find me was never really any special talent.. I always went to the same place..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: a most valuable tool in our profession indeed
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks over*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: for how long did you keep going and looking for me there?
Kaede Hitori: I didn't always go there looking.. afterawhile I gave up on that..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *is genuinly curious*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I am sorry I was never able to get word to you... to tell you what had happened
Hikaru Mitsuharu: to me
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I wish I knew that you looked for me after I left
Kaede Hitori: But it still was the only place that I had some sort of memories that weren't related to what I am now
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: that is a good thing to hold onto for people like us
Kaede Hitori: The time when things were easier and peaceful..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: it helps keep you centered, level. Do you know what I mean?
Kaede Hitori: *nods*
Kaede Hitori: I only wish there were more..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I lost mine.....
Kaede Hitori: I don't think your father liked me much..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks down slightly*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: why do you think that?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *asks as he keeps his gaze lowered*
Kaede Hitori: He found me watching him a few times..
Kaede Hitori: And watching the house..
Kaede Hitori: He never could follow when I ran..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I suppose that is my fault
Hikaru Mitsuharu: after what happened he thought all of the children i knew were bad
Kaede Hitori: Don't think he even knew who I was..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs a bit still thinking about it*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *speaks after a few moments of silence*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I always wished I could have gone back and changed what had happened....
Hikaru Mitsuharu: After that day, my Father never looked at me the same again
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shakes his head a bit, still wishing he had been there for his Father in his*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *time of need instead of off on his training*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I know to this day it's why he sent me away. thought it would bring me
Hikaru Mitsuharu: discapline and honor
Kaede Hitori: Well.. can't say it didn't.. though I suspect not in the way he wanted
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods slowly, still looking down*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: it might sound odd. but i still miss him.
Kaede Hitori: Why is that odd
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I never got to say goodbye
Hikaru Mitsuharu: becouse, we are not supposed to allow our emotions to control our thoughts
Hikaru Mitsuharu: they make you weak
Kaede Hitori: If it wasn't for him, you'd not be here.. parents atleast deserve some
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I would still be in Bishani, and never would have left all those years ago
Kaede Hitori: Perhaps.. though had you still been there.. I'd of likely gotten in a lot more trouble
Hikaru Mitsuharu: My Father always seemed to be closer to Tetsu anyway. He was a better
Hikaru Mitsuharu: son for him I suppose
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *glances up hearing her comment*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: oh, hows that?
Kaede Hitori: As I got older, after my sister was born.. I got a lot more.. defiant of their ways.. atleast while
Kaede Hitori: not in training
Kaede Hitori: They made my training harder because of it, thinking it would help
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins slightly*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: so you would have rebelled with a lowly fishermans son then?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *laughs a bit*
Kaede Hitori: In those days.. that lifestyle looked a lot more appealing.. from the outside
Hikaru Mitsuharu: they might have killed me for interupting your training
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks over seriously*
Kaede Hitori: Doubtful.. they're not like that
Kaede Hitori: But they would have come down on me moreso than they did
Kaede Hitori: Leaving the house would have been a dream
Hikaru Mitsuharu: i suppose
Kaede Hitori: There was a lot of blood loss during that training without the extra additive
Kaede Hitori: And various broken bones
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Kaede Hitori: Doesn't matter anymore...
Hikaru Mitsuharu: My Sinjo was tough as well, though forgiving and wise letting me learn from
Hikaru Mitsuharu: my mistakes, and not so much rubbing my nose in them
Kaede Hitori: Oh I got a lot of that..
Kaede Hitori: *shakes her head slowly*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: perhaps...
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins thinking about it, almost like a dream*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: imagin how much different it might have been if he was Sinjo to both of us
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins slightly and glances over at her*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: wishfull thinking i suppose
Kaede Hitori: Or it could have ended up as it did with you and that other..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *dismisses it after a moment of enjoying the thought of it*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs*
Kaede Hitori: ji'coi or not..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: perhaps, but i somehow doubt that
Hikaru Mitsuharu: She always had her head in the clouds instead of in her work and training
Kaede Hitori: Having one trainer is good.. two is just... bad...
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I am sorry to hear it was so difficult for you.
Kaede Hitori: *shakes her head*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: but you know, it only made you stronger
Kaede Hitori: It might have been.. but I am not sorry for what I've done.. or what they did
Kaede Hitori: *nods*
Kaede Hitori: Precisely
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: the only thing i regret is not returning sooner
Hikaru Mitsuharu: i always found my training and my Sinjo's teachings easy to learn
Hikaru Mitsuharu: and almost too fun.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *smirks slightly*
Kaede Hitori: *smirks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: the hardest part for me was letting go of home.... and of my friends
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *looks over at her as he says it*
Kaede Hitori: Some never truely do..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *watches her a moment as she said the last*
Kaede Hitori: If you did, you'd not miss your father.. or care about me or the fact I'm here..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: perhaps...
Hikaru Mitsuharu: it is almost funny to me.....
Hikaru Mitsuharu: out of all people, you are the last person I ever expected to find here.
Kaede Hitori: I could say the same for you..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins a bit with a nod hearing that*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: good point
Hikaru Mitsuharu: let me ask you something Kaede?
Kaede Hitori: *nods*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: what did you think happened to me all those years ago?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *wonders if she thought he died*
Kaede Hitori: If I thought anything grim, I'd not of continued to search..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well, what did you think then?
Kaede Hitori: I didn't really think anything.. just that you were gone.. and your family didn't seem all to torn up
Kaede Hitori: about it.. which was a good indication you were still alive..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Kaede Hitori: Even if I did know where you were.. I wouldn't have been able to look until.. well until I got thrown
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well.... sorry it took twenty years to discover what became of me.
Kaede Hitori: out of my home..
Kaede Hitori: *shrugs*
Kaede Hitori: Twenty years is atleast better than never..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: indeed
Kaede Hitori: Chances are you would have stuck around you'd of likely ended up on this path anyway.. who knows..
Kaede Hitori: *smirks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I likly would have been a Knight as Tetsu became, or just stayed on the river,
Hikaru Mitsuharu: like my father.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins thinking about it*
Kaede Hitori: My parents always called me the bad influence
Hikaru Mitsuharu: that is the one thing i miss the most about our old home
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods understanding that, knowing that is likly the main reason his father sent*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *him away, so he didnt rub off on Tetsu*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I miss the rivers the most....
Kaede Hitori: *nods*
Kaede Hitori: I've been tempted a few times to return to them..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: the freedom of being out in the water, just you, the water and the fish.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I did several times when I first came here....
Hikaru Mitsuharu: nearly got cought the last time
Hikaru Mitsuharu: after that I decided to never return
Kaede Hitori: Perhaps sometime.. on my next 'vacation'...
Kaede Hitori: *she smirks a bit at that*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins over at her*
Kaede Hitori: We can return together
Hikaru Mitsuharu: it would be easier for you to then myself
Hikaru Mitsuharu: your name hasnt been blackmarked as mine has
Kaede Hitori: No.. but if they find me, tis a good chance they'll figure it out
Hikaru Mitsuharu: there would not be anyone searching for you when you set foot in Bishani
Hikaru Mitsuharu: that was so long ago though, and...
Kaede Hitori: I can.. distract them.. if the need arises
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *pauses a moment before he goes on*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: you have..... changed so much since then
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *says it flatly, not trying to show any sign of his looking*
Kaede Hitori: Perhaps.. though my parents would still know me as would my sister
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *nods*
Kaede Hitori: And if I disobeyed them, they would more than likely try to turn me over
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I am sure they would.... But as for the Imperial Guard, I somehow doubt it
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *thinks about that*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: then perhaps you should just forget about the idea of returning there
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I would hate the idea of......
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *glances over*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: well, losing you once again.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: after all, Little Bishani is our home now. Bishani is just a memory to me now
Kaede Hitori: You wont..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: nothing more
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins at her a bit, as she says it*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: That is good to hear Kaede
Kaede Hitori: Though.. it would be a change to rekindle something that was once a memory.. to be real.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I wouldnt want to have to show my face on your families doorstep for them
Hikaru Mitsuharu: turning you into the Imperial Guard
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *gives her a serious look as he says it*
Kaede Hitori: *gets what he means without even having to think about it*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: that would be most unfortunate
Kaede Hitori: Even if they did... which they won't.. because they won't find me.. you can't do that.
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *arches a brow*
Kaede Hitori: And the Imperial Guards are blind in the darkness
Hikaru Mitsuharu: oh, and why couldnt I?
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *asks her seriously, even shifting his seated position to look over at her*
Kaede Hitori: Because they are the ones that trained me..
Kaede Hitori: They know how we work
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *grins slightly*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: indeed
Hikaru Mitsuharu: but, I have many tricks
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *winks at her*
Kaede Hitori: And there's two of them
Hikaru Mitsuharu: and many heads to prove my talent
Kaede Hitori: Three if you count my little sister
Hikaru Mitsuharu: but lets not talk about me killing your family, it is such a depressing topic
Hikaru Mitsuharu: as it would mean they had turned you in and you were gone from me once again.
Kaede Hitori: Can't tell me the thrill of it isnt intriguing though..
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *shrugs*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: maybe
Hikaru Mitsuharu: though I dont find nearly getting cought very thrilling
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *smirks as he thinks about it and nearly laughs*
Kaede Hitori: You lie
Kaede Hitori: *smirks*
Hikaru Mitsuharu: though...... sneaking into the Emporer's compound, with thoughts of doing him
Hikaru Mitsuharu: ill, I guess that is to be expected
Hikaru Mitsuharu: The Nightshades are skilled indeed
Kaede Hitori: So I hear
Hikaru Mitsuharu: his personal guards are most skilled, but they cant hold a candle to the ones
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I encountered there that night
Hikaru Mitsuharu: it was as if they knew I was there, even concealed
Hikaru Mitsuharu: I barely made it out.
Kaede Hitori: Well.. I suspect I wont be trying to do in the Emperor any time soon
Hikaru Mitsuharu: not something I wish to repeat
Hikaru Mitsuharu: anytime soon atleast
Hikaru Mitsuharu: *smirks over at her as she says it*
