[center][h2]Kyoto - Fujiwara Estate[/h2] [b]Monday, June 6th 20XX[/b][/center] [hr] The sound of chirping cicadas pervaded the summer heat of Japan, the garden outside lit by the bright golden sun sitting high above as two men dressed in traditional Japanese attire drank tea. The table before them beset with the expected implements of teatime such as Japanese sweets and a kettle, but also some documents neatly piled on the side. One of the faces seated here was Motsumine no Fujiwara, and the other... A gruff man with sharp eyes, a face structure like a chiselled rock, and a body as large and built to match. He had a few scars that were hidden underneath his black kimono and despite these features, he appeared to be smiling lightly. [color=f7941d]"So... That is the way of it"[/color], he began, taking a sip of his green tea. [color=fff79a]"Indeed, despite the... Ordeal she faced last night, I had already been handed the papers for it. It seems she had made her decision"[/color], the rough man looked down over the papers. It was an enrollment form, and the name read none other than Seirin herself. [color=fff79a]"Of course, as her father Kyoryu Kaganomiya, you still have to give the final consent"[/color], Kyoryu, head of the Kaganomiya branch of the Imperial Family. Unlike his main branch counterpart, he did not enjoy any measure of peace, doubling as one of the heads of the Yatagarasu, which was a rare distinction among the family to take part in combat so directly. [color=f7941d]"It was only fortune that you have the chance to do this. To think that both my daughters would be the reason I had to come to Kyoto on short notice..."[/color], his face bent down in sullen thought. It was a strange situation to be in, given that one daughter was now comatose after going missing for months, while the other was seeking to fly the nest. [color=f7941d]"Seidoujima... Was the island yes? I am a busy man, but perhaps having somewhere to travel where no business is, may do me some good... Very well. I trust you will ensure she is protected? In fact, you have told me your good friend the head of the Kirizanto house, is a teacher there too?"[/color], his voice maintained the hard exterior but it was clear he was seeking confirmation for his decision. Motsumine simply nodded. [color=f7941d]"Very well. She will be in good hands then..."[/color]. [color=fff79a]"Excellent, once those documents have your stamp, I'll have them processed"[/color], as the two continued their tea, he stamped the document, then motioning to one of the guards to take it and one can only safely assume, to be taken to the school and it's officials. Motsumine then rested his cup, looking out towards the garden. [color=fff79a]"A fine day isn't it...? I do believe she should be out with her new friends today"[/color] [hr] [@Amaterasu] [hider=Koyuki] [b]Uzamari Ryoukan Sunday Evening, June 5th 20XX[/b] After the events of that night, they were back to the inn, almost smuggling the young Seirin there. She had to borrow a few clothes from some of the people present, but after that excitement had died down, Koyuki when she was alone would suddenly spot out of the corner of her eye a small fox familiar, one she recognized almost immediately. [color=a187be]"It seems you have distinguished yourself quite well. Hmph, I may not have been present for your battle, but I was able to watch via a familiar. It is not often a kitsune let alone anyone can command new powers so quickly and so well, even so far as to hide the young Kaganomiya girl for a sleepover. Such mischief becomes a kitsune"[/color], she seemed to be rather happy about that, despite her elegance she seemed to have some fun in knowing that one she had taught was able to mess with people. [color=a187be]"Well, worry not, I am not asking you to return, your training is complete. And the results already speak for themselves. Although... Your disappearance from the inn here might have been rather... Sudden. I'm afraid the senior I had assigned to you, Kohane, is in a slight panic trying to find you... I think I'll let her panic for a bit longer, she makes a rather delightful face. Well, it has been fun, it's rare to see promise in young yokai these days, so do continue to hone your skills... Oh yes and... Feel free to visit Eiseikato whenever you so please. I am sure the ladies here would love to see you again. Until then, farewell Koyuki"[/color], the cute little familiar did a bow, before poofing into a small cloud of starry purple smoke. [/hider]
