Ohh Wow! You are going to teach the dance class? That is the class I was really hoping to take. I love dance it gives you such and amazing feeling and bringd happiness to those around you! I also am hoping to take Tea Cerimony and maybe history or something if it is offered. I am really interested in just about everything ::smiles::
....
It started to get a little quite in the Tea House as it got later. It was kind of peaceful. Aki decided to try on of the cute pink colored mochi sitting on the plat Yuri-chan had brought. It was sweet and sticky but very good.
She listened to everyone chatting; just enjoying being in everyone's company.

Momoko stared into her cup of tea, thinking about the long road and all the hardships that would follow in having to train these girls and make them into maiko and geisha.

Tora saw Momoko grow contiplative. She smiled and moved closer to her. "I've seen that look before," she said quietly. "On me," she added with a giggle. She tilted her head, studying her, and smiled.

"I know exactly what you mean Aki-chan," she said smiling. "I've always loved dancing. I originally did another type of dancing when I was still living in France. It always came naturally."
She thought about her home in France a moment. Then sipped her tea. She elegantly picked up the teapot and poured more tea into the empty teacups around the table.

"Wow!!!" aki exclaimed with excitment!
You danced in France! That is really amazing!! I bet it is very beautiful there. Did you grow up there? I know that ballet is very big up there. I think that style of dance is so elegant and graceful! Very entrancing!

Ariku giggled at Aki's outburst.
"Yes, I did grow up there. My father went over from here and met my Mother. From a very young age I did ballet and gymnastics," she said nodding. "And it is very beautiful there. It is soo different from Japan. It feels like another world when you are there. If you ever get the chance to travel Aki-chan, you should consider visiting it."
She sipped her tea and smiled. It was fun to talk about her home, because she loved it soo much. She smiled again and continued drinking.

Yuri sat quietly listening to Ariku-san. She was an extraordinary person having lived outside of Japan. Yuri unfortunately was an orphan that was taken in by a traveling priest who cared for her more than her own family.
And she felt that Ariku and Haru were a good match for each other.
she smiled to her self as she looked down into her cup of tea and held it's warmth tight in her hands.
She then looked up at the windows and saw that it had started to snow.
She stared at the light graceful flakes that danced from the sky.

Ariku sipped her tea and looked to the others at the table. She followed Yuri's gaze to the window. She smiled.
"Oh, it's snowing outside!"

As the room got quiet, aki noticed that the gaze ad shifted to the window. It was a very beautiful sight. The snow was gracefully falling to the ground. It painted sucha peacefull image.
I think, if I do get a chance to travel one day in the future, I would love to see France and its many wounders ::smiles::.
I can tell you really loved your homeland.

Ariku looked to Aki and smiled warmly.
"Yes I did but here is soo beautiful and special too. I love it here. I feel very lucky to live here with all of you!" she said thinking about all the fun she has had here. "Have you ever traveled at all Aki-chan? Or have you always lived in this town?"

I haven't grown up in this beautiful town but I haven't really gotten to travel much either. I wish to one day see Hokkaido and its Daimond Dust. The snow that sparkeles in the sun just like Daimond's dust in the air. I think it would also be an amazing experience to go to foreighn countries. Every new place has something we can learn from and I want to learn about all types of dancing and culture as I am given the opportunity to.
Have you gotten to travel any where else Ariku-sama?

Yuri listened to the story of the Diamond dust of Hokkaido and let her gaze wander out past the window in to blank nothingness.
When she traveled with the priest she'd been to hokkaido but had never been allowed outside in the cold, she was fragile as a child. So she'd missed the diamond dust that so many others had seen.
" Aki-san?" She spoke timidly. " Maybe we can go together to see the diamond dust..." She stared into her now cold tea
" i'd really like to see it also one day."

Hai! I would really love to see the daimond dust with you Yuri-san! It is actually a very rare sight to many people even natives to Hokkaido but I heard if it is seen with friends, they will stay close friends forever. It is really amazing that you got to travel when you were little. Even though you couldn't go outside very much it must have been nice to travel with close company.
Then noticing the cold tea she lifted up the pot to refreash the cups and noticed it had gotten empty. "Sumimasen, I will go get us some hot tea to warm us up if you don't mind." and she gently got up and walked towards the kitchen.

" It was nice to travel when I was young. The priest that took me in after my father died was very kind" She smiled warmly.
" But traveling also gave me the chance to meet Haru and his younger brother."
