((OOC: Phew, the crazy holiday that is Christmas is over. I loved it, though! How was y'all's Christmas?))
Tora smiled at Ana and turned the little black book around, revealing a single, long-stimed rose. She smiled. "This is just a hobby of mine," Tora said in reply. "I do teach an art class, though," she smiled. Tora handed Ana the sketch book. "This is my life-source. It never leaves my side," she remarked. "You may look through it if you like," Tora smiled.

The wind blew outside her house, but this time a whisper and a dream was floating among it like a promise of what will happen today. This was the day she'll leave her home and family to pursue her dream of becoming a geisha.
The night before she packed only a few things; she wasn't sure if she was allowed to have her things in the okiya...
Kazenotanpopo Okiya - she whispered as she rose up from her bed and began to arrange herself. I've heard so many stories about it it makes me a little bit anxious. How would the okaasan be like? I really can't wait to meet her.
Then she heard a voice calling from outside her room, she walked, slided the door and saw her mother with a gentle smile in her face, her face was glowing with pride, but there in the deepest corner of her mother's eyes Sakura saw sadness.
- Okaasan, o genki desu ka?-
-Do not worry about me, my beautiful Nightingale; come with me I have something to give you-
Sakura followed her mother to what she used to call The Music Spirit Mansion; actually it was a rather small deposit where she was never allowed to play, but once she heard a beautiful song coming from the inside so she thought the place hold a beautiful spirit.
- Sakura, I give you this key- her mother took out of her obi a big and heavy key and placed her in her hand-
-Demo, okaasan...-
-I want you to use it when the time it's right. It opens this door- she pointed the Music Spirit Mansion door- I keep a lot of treasures there-
- Mother, how will I know when it's the right time?- her deep black eyes swarmed with tears, she knew it was hard for her mother to see her leave-
-You will know- her mother gave her an enigmatic smile-
When she arrived to the okiya she was still holding the key in her hands, her heart was sad for causing that pain to her family, but she knew that what she wanted was to be a geisha, more than anything.
She took the decision of becoming a geisha a long time ago and since then her mother trained her to be one, but she knew that eventually she will have to leave for she could not become a geisha if she stayed in her home.
And now in front of the Okiya door her heart was pounding really fast, she walked slowly trying to keep her wish to run out of action, as she approached the entrance her mind was blank.
She opened the door, took off her wooden sandals and left them properly placed in the entrance, she did not know if somebody was supposed to great her there or if she should enter. So she opened the second door and trying to sound as polite as she could she called.
-Sumimasen- she raised her voice a little-
She waited for a few moments, but since nobody answered she called again.
-Sumimasen, Sakura Ai desu! -
She was starting to think she mistook the Okiya, but somebody had heard her.
(((OOC: I hope this is ok and that for real somebody heard her calling... I think it's rude of her to enter without being presented to the Okaasan first)))

And what you are doing is right....and you've been told well.... Respect..... is what should be given. Hara smiled and then continued...."Come in here a moment".....Hara walked into her room.....and then turned to the girl and said you may sit right over there.....she pointed to a chair by the window....and then went her closet and pulled out...her dancing fans...then made her way to sit in another chair next to the girl....and said giving a smile "You may start by telling me your name".

Tora smiled. "Anything I feel or anything I see goes into that book," she began. "It never leaves me," she added. "It's saved me more than once," Tora said with a smile. "When I'm sad, I'll write or draw something to releave my heart of the pressure. Every picture and letter tells a story." Tora smiled at Ana and sipped her tea.

Sakura was starting to feel scared and a little bit worried, her mother told her to wait until somebody picked her up and took her to the okaasan, but she was so scared she was about to cry. She went in and sat at the entrace in a way she could see the inside or the outside in case somebody entered the okiya.
Am I doing right thing by sitting here? Should I go inside and wonder around the house?
Every time she was anxious she started to sing, so inconciously she started to sing a song she learned from her mother, an very old song she used to sing her when she was a a baby.[2]
