A new student and arrival(Open)

[kusaji]

Smiled as he looked at the well larger tabi sandals and nodded some as he then pulls the strings on the bottom to lower the toe hold and let her ease into them as he hoped he’d adjust the size perfectly. Listening to her words made him smile some.

“There they are fixed, I guess I will have to buy female house shoes for you then, so that you’ll fit perfectly in them.[/b]”

At that time the delivery boy pulled up and walked to the door, holding the takeout in a warm box and bags. He’d wait at the entrance to the dojo, not stepping out in the tabi, not wanting to dirty the bottoms seeing these were home. The delivery boy would open the gate and then walk up the sidewalk.

“Hi, forty seventy please.”

Taking out his wallet, he’d grab a 50 and then give it to the kid who gave the food. Taking the bags and stuff in his hands.

“Keep the change.[/b]”

“Thanks”

The delivery boy walked away leaving him and Bernie alone again. Standing and walking further into the dojo he’d walk to the back and open the paper sheet walls letting them slide showing the stairwell that would lead upstairs, banister railing painted white housed pure white oak varnished steps that curled in a slight upwards curve, The top where ones hand would grip is the same wooden color, the foyer dropped down from the dojo floor onto normal oak hardwood floors lain perfectly and waxed without a single marking on them. He’d smile at her as he watched her put on the sandals.

“I know, we can’t have what happened at the theaters no matter how bad we want to…Wow so you had a mentor as well, mine was my grandfather he taught me all I know, every stance every path of the blade, my mom taught me how to cook. Have you seen her? Since well you were younger?[/b]”

The words flew out kind of in a nervous pattern as he looked back at her wondering if she had seen her mentor as she talked so fondly about the woman who must have made an impact. He’d study her every movement she made as she walked around aimlessly in the hollow walls. Her laugh made him smile warmly at her.

“If you want to dance here, you can… I don’t mind sharing my sanctuary with you this place is plenty big enough for you and me… I can add some speakers and a sound system for you plus all I need is along the wall… setting up for dummies and wooden swing pegs a punching bag and that’s all and those will go on the far south wall… that is … if you want to.[/b]”

He’d invite her to use it if she wanted and hoped she’d take up his offer if he did, then he’d order the players and stuff she’d need music wise for her dancing. He’d look around at the rather large space being the entire width and length of the entire building. He’d vision it now looking around mixing her with him, in a nice harmony.

Bernie smiled at Kusa as he fixed the sandals her eyes were softer as looked at him “Thank you so much for fixing the shoes they fit better. “ She said as she slipped them on as them didn’t fall off. She took a few steps on to the floor; she started spinning in circles as she giggled. “She reached out to Kusa as he showed the stair way.

She stopped as soon as he brought up her Loa Loa her eyes got misty as soon as he did. She took a shaky breath as her eyes closed then opened up again. “She passed when I was 12… It was under suspicius circumstances …I wish I knew what really happen. But that was a different time and different place. “She shrugged as she looked down and took a deep breath.

Bernie closed her eyes again seeing flames jump up high and high as she ran to Loa Loa house. The smell of the smoke choked her as she wondered what happen, the fire men dousing the flames. Her face showed the pain of her thoughts as she reopens her eyes and sighed.

She smiled as she looked at him and moved closer to him, slowly reaching out and touching his lower back. She did it for reassurance that she needed for herself at the time. Slowly smiling at him that never touched her eyes, they seemed sad and lonely.

[kusaji]

“Your welcome I wouldn’t want you hurting yourself at all love[/b]”

Smiles taking her hand leading her up the stair well staking cautious steps upwards towards the doorway of his actual apartment. His free hand along holding the plastic delivery bag and the railing for support so neither tumbled backwards. He’d turn back as he heard her soft words speak of her mentor and someone dear to her died.

“I.. I am so sorry, I didn’t know… but at least you have happy moments always deep in your heart to spend with her whenever you want because they never leave you as long as they’re in your heart and memories.[/b]”

Trying to comfort her he’d let his hand slide down her cheek as his eyes looked in hers, and smiles as his forehead touched hers with a simple soft glide of skin to skin. His hand tilts her head just up some and pulls her into a soft kiss as to make her worries go away and all her pain as well. He’d look in her soft eyes as he seen her smile and yet the sadness in her eyes. Stopping there o the foyer at the apartments door he’d nuzzle her cheek and then pull her into a soft hug as well.

“She’s a part of all life be happy for her, and for yourself that you had someone like that in your life, because not everyone does smile, and be happy on those memories alone.[/b]”

His hands behind him turning the knob on the door and then pulls it open. He’d let her be the first to see the apartment, first walking into a foyer like hall, that would lead into the living room painted in earthy browns and white mirroring the dojo walls but small ripple designs on the walls. The floors were all oak wood, the furniture a soft brand new black suede sofa and two chairs angled perfectly. Either side of the couch was an end table, black steel and black and white marble tops framed in the tops of the stands. The middle was an oval black legged marble topped table that sat on a white hemp floor rug. The wall they’d look at held a 52 inch flat television and a in wall entertainment center underneath, hosing the cable box and game systems games, DVD, blue rays and the rest of his stuff perfectly in each slot. On the back behind the couch along the half wall was an in wall book shelf holding various books and manga. The left hallway past the back wall would lead to his bedroom and bath and an office. The left of the living room was the kitchen with a island stove all stainless steel appliances, on either side of the island stove surrounded by bamboo walls held a stainless steel cutting surface. His cutlery and kitchen stuff was already put away. The counters were marble, the floor was stone setting the earthy tones of brown and stainless steel.

“Wow, umm… dad really didn’t hold back on anything…this place is far too big for me.[/b]”

for the first time he gulped being overwhelmed.

[evilinnocent]

Bernie really smiled at him asshe walked up the stairs, her eyes taking in the details of grain in the wood. Slowly taking a breath as soon as Kusa touched her face and put his forhead on hers. “Kusa your so nice ...I wonder what it would be like if things were different ?” She trailed off as she looked in to his apertment.

Her eye got wider as she looked around, taking a deep breath as she took it all in. It was beautiful and big for one person but it was so nice she could see how some one could be happy here. Looking at Kusa and smiled at him. “It is not to big you can be happy here just think of the party you could have…The people that would love to hang out here…” She giggled at him

“Oh and I would love to praticed here…If you really wouldn’t mind. It may be easier for me with out everyone watching me all the time.”

[kusaji]

“Different? How, what do you mean? what if we were normal? Well, I believe we wouldn’t have stopped back at the theater, or if we did, we’d continued in the car, and then I’d have probably dragged you back here, and give myself to you,[/b]”

looking at her as he stepped in and took off his hoody, he’d look at the bags marked customs laying about the floor and then stepped further into the house letting his hands slide over the suede backing of the couch. He’d look back at her and smile leaning against the couch.

“But that’s if we were different, and no matter how much I’d still like that we can’t until we know its safe, everything your feeling is exactly what I am as well.[/b]”

He’d move towards the boxes and kneel upon the oak wood floors perching upon them perfectly, he’d see all the separate boxes for each of his 20 swords, his guitars as well were laying in individual boxes on the floor, he’d have to remind himself to build a studio somewhere in the house’s living spaces. He’d listen to her words and smiled.

“I will get uber lonely here all alone but as long as you’re one of the people who’d love to hang then I don’t mind. Others can go away.[/b]”

He’d say as he looked around and sat the food on the counter and then went into the kitchen, he’d plug in the rice steamer and open one the rice jars and threw in 2 cups of the white rice and turned the steamer on for the perfect timing to cook the rice. He’d peek his head out and also sat out plates and then chopsticks for himself and a pair for her, but also got her a fork, in case she didn’t know how to use them.

“Only person who may watch is me every now and then, and what all kinds of stuff do you need? I know music, mirror balance bar? Any thing else?[/b]”

[evilinnocent]

Bernie smiled at him as he stated he would of given himself to her, the thought of that made her blush. She thought it was her giving her self to him not the other way around. “I thought it was the lady that gave herself to the man really…I mean it is cute and all but I probably be the one in the end ravage” Her laughter filled the air as she moved her hair out of her face. “ I am not saying I will not like it but still it maybe fun to see how it would play out after we get everything done that needs to be done”


Scanning the boxes as she set her bag down and then looked around some more. Her hand trailed over the back of the couch as she took everything in. She thought about the things she would need to make a mini dance studio here and wondered if Kusa was being truthful or not. She didn’t know what to think and how to feel about it. Biting her lip as she took a breath and walked in the kitchen after him.


“ Well Yes a balance bar, mirrors are helpful at lest one wall….”She thought as she looked at him and sat down. Her eyes grazed over the set up till they fell on the fork, her lips moved back into a snarl. “ A fork?” She asked sounded insulted, but her eyes twinkled with the jest she was pulling. “you think just cause I am a western I cant eat properly…Ohhhh The humanity” She put the back of her right hand to her forehead and acted like she was swooning in her chair. But you could clearly see the smile on her lips.

[kusaji]

Her words echoed in his ears as he listened to her explain what she belived. He’d wait on the dinger to ding on the white rice taking out the ball of rice and plates it as he carries gets everything finished, he’d open the fridge door get the soy sauce and the terriyaki sauce, a few mint leaves fom the cabinet and also some sweet and sour sauce. He’d look at the plate and then open up the white and fried rice containers looking inside at the fried rice and smells it reacting in disgust, he’d drop the gross fried rice in the trashcan and then put more rice in the steamer.

“Hmm, well that is a good view I guess though it’d be us giving each other to one another, and well hopefully we’ll both enjoy it when we get it all figured out that is.[/b]”

he’d plate the rice as she walked into the kitchen, and the lain out food choices seeing as how much food they ordered there was enough to try everything if they wanted to. He’d smile as she looked in on the entrance of the kitchen. His hands stationed on his hips as he waited for the new batch of rice to get done. He’d see her nervous actions and smile slightly.

“Get my back pack, get my laptop get it out and then, that’s what we will allso do start ordering things for the stuff you will need, that way we have stuff on the way and I canhire people to put it up, plus I have to buy things for the dojo still so it will be a joint buying stuff, don’t worry about the cost just get the stuff you need ok.[/b]”

Chuckled at her and her actions as he seen her falsely swoon taking away the fork and look at her with a soft smile as he sat the plates and food on the table and then walks to her and gives her a soft kiss on the lips, he’d let his hand trail her soft neck as he nuzzles softly to her and then sits down in a chair near her.

“Well there all fixed and no that’s not it, I just didn’t know weather if you kne how or would rather use a fork over chopsticks.[/b]"

[evilinnocent]

Bernie laughed as she saw Kusa react to the fried rice like he did. She grabbed her sides as she laughed and held onto a counter so she didnt fall. “OH WOW…” she giggled out as finally fell on her butt and kept on laughing and shaking as she did. She held her sides as did, gasping for air as she sat there looking up at Kusa. “What don’t like it?”

She slowly started to get up but started to laugh again , falling again this time she just sat there and looked up at him. Her face flushed as she laughed, it was a crimson color that seemed deepen as she laughed. She shook her head as she got up this time standing as if she did not laugh the whole time.

"Ok ok I will get the bag for you." Bernie said as she walked into the living space and grabbed his back pack, bringing it into the room as she sighed. She was hungry and knew she could eat a lot and wondered if there was enough food for the both of them. She went to hand the bag to him as she sniffed the air. The smell of food that hung in the air as she looked at him. "Lets eat Pwease?"

[kusaji]

He’d look at her as she fell on her butt and shook his head with a gentle chuckle. Looking at her as she rolled around some causing him to giggle even more leaning against the counter and cover his mouth with the back of his hand. Watching her as she gasped for air and the words that seemed aimed at his look for the fried rice, causing his head to shake.

“breeath baby breath, umm and no … no fried rice, silly chinese the hell I hope they don’t actually eat that, the smell alone was gross no way would I eat it.[/b]”

Warching her get up caused his body to doble over as she just fell again from her laughing so hard he’d stop and then try and help her up but she seemd to have it under control as she stood on her own will. He’d pick the plates and the containers of food up and begin to carry them in the living room to set them on then large marble center table for them to eat on.

“Thanks for getting my bag[/b]”

Getting his bag as she brought it to him, he’d undo the snaps and then pull out the silver laptop from the yellow canvas like bag. He’d pat the couch beside him showing her where to sit as he grabbed the remote as well and turned on the television and started channel surfing for any good movies that maybe on.

“Yes we can eat silly while we watch a movie then we’ll buy stuff we need I want to get atleast that much done so we can get that stuff here as soon as possible[/b]”

He’d smile at her and then start to pick out some general tso’s chicken and sweet and sour chicken and a piece of teriyaki beef and put them on his plate beside his rice and thn picked up his chopsticks and smiled as he picked up a piee of chicken looking at her.

“Ikkidakimasu[/b]”

[evilinnocent]

Bernie smiled at him as she fallowed into the living room her eyes glowing with happiness, sitting next to him she sighed. She giggled a bit a she looked at the food, she picked up her chop sticks and start to pick threw the food taking food from here and there. She attacked the orange chicken and white rice; she looked up and smiled at him giving him the innocent look.


“I don’t mind if you don’t mind any place is nice …I really wouldn’t care. But maybe we should decide what will happen between us before we move to that though…If that is ok with you I mean I don’t want to rush you into anything right now.. “She said it a soft tone. “I just think it may be better that way. You know what I mean?
