The year is 1572 and the Warring States Period in Japan is coming to an end, the Azuchi-Momoyama period is about to begin- the country is still in division and whilst it may seem politically stable, the peaceful face is just a façade, beneath the dynasties lie the nobles, the army and the people, and those that represent all three categories, the Samurai. The Samurai classes above all stand for honour, whether it be their own or that of their cause, now they have reason to protect that honour. All the younger generations have been taught for many years, and their training is coming to an end soon enough- each must not only be learned in their history and culture and weapons training, but are expected to have interest in the arts also. The more eager students are setting off already, missions into the feudal world of Japan from which they have been cut off from for so long. Each will take the patch they choose for themselves whether it be together or alone. Those who feel they still have more to learn will stay within the walls of the school. 
Hopefully this is open enough for you all to enjoy the scenario as much as possible, allowing you to set scenes yourself that I don’t know enough about myself to fabricate. -x-

A dark soul wandered through the alley. The soft clicking of his katana warned people that he was one of the feared and honored samurai. His wooden sandals made no sound against the mudded ground as she sky was crying softly. Piercing gray eyes peered over the walls of the wooden original japanese houses. There was a light burning at one of them. He stopped in his tracks as he was only a few meters away from the door. He pulled his straw hat further over his eyes as he leaned against the wall. Waiting for someone.

Dressed up as a high mannered Geisha, Byoux made her way through the dirt. The unconfi sandals kept her from walking faster. She held her dark purple unbrella tight as she walked as fast as she could.
She noticed the gray haired boy that was already waiting for her. Her white kimono with light purple flowers on it was still clean. She had learned to walk with graze, without making it dirty even in the mud and rain like it was now.
She stopped next to the samurai. "Gomenasai. Glad you came.."

She stopped next to the samurai. "Gomenasai. Glad you came.." Seti's eyes peered at the womans face. She looked like a Geisha, he knew she was trained to be one, but looks where deceiving. He knew what kind of killer he had close to him now. "Lets go inside." He turned without another word and walked on. His devil like tail swayed from side to side lightly as they still had to walk for another 15 minutes till they came to a medium side house. He stopped and waited for her to come by and open the door for him, as japanese women should.

She noticed that he was becoming a real man by now. Not even opening the door himself anymore. She sighed softly at that. She opened the door and lowered her head. She would play along till they where both inside.

Byoux_Katou She noticed that he was becoming a real man by now. Not even opening the door himself anymore. She sighed softly at that. She opened the door and lowered her head. She would play along till they where both inside. He looked down at her bowed head. Taking the unbrella from her as he stepped inside slowly. Setting his wooden sandals at the side of the room, stepping up to the wooden floor. He took off his straw hat and shook his gray hair free. He moved his hand through his hair as his piercing eyes scanned the room. Slowly he moved forward to put down the unbrella and jacket in the small hallway.

((cant believe you've done so much already! I'm playing human in this I think))
Kirus was slightly unnerved by the way his patent leather boots made no sound against the dirt roads here, they were scuffed with the fine dust that seemed to lie about everywhere- there was a reason that he had left the country for London, and to be away from this type of annoyance in dirt was one of them. No matter, he was here on business, his ship had come in that morning, and he was glad to be on any ground away from the inceccant swaying of the boat and the sound of creaking decks and rope work.
His long hair was pulled back into a neat tail and the base of his skull, his trousers were fitted well to his muscular legs and his shirt was of the highest fashion in light weight cotton, puffed out largely at the sleaves and nipped in at the cuffs.
A delicate rapier was hung elegantly from his waist- he hoped he would not have to use it, fencing lessons were something his mother had forced upon him and whilst he could hold his own in a fight he was nothing akin to skillful or adept.
He blinked slowly, trying to take in the atmosphere here. There was a smell of fish and boiled starch that seemed to perment the air and the entire place was rather a culture shock. Still, the people here had a delicate and intreeguing look about them and he knew that thier features and noticable overall hardworking traits would fetch him a high price at market.

Byoux watched Seti walk into the house. This was the first time she saw his house. The door was still open to the street as she just watched for a moment. She then sat down and took off her Geisha sandals and watched the street that was getting wetter by the minute.

((damn...just reply to me asap...are you gonna be back after tea? i will be back in a good 2 hours i think..do hope that we can rp by then..atleast enjoy your tea)) Seti turned around slowly. This wooden house was his own. Build by his own hands. He was proud of it. He looked back at Byoux and at the street as he had just put down his jacket and the umbrella. His piercing eyes flicked over a form that he did not knew, only knew it should be a human being, yet didn't knew whether it was good or bad. He moved forward fast, pushing Byoux aside hard to gain more space at the door. He sat there on his knees. His eyes pinned on the english looking man. His gray hair was covering half his face, her eyes held a gleam. The man should be able to see it if he looked really good. The gray haired samurai in the doorway was happy it was raining, he could watch from here without drawing attention to him. The rain would make him look like he was about to fade away from a distance. He sat perfectly still. Following the mans every move. This man was one of those rich enligh man, he knew this much. He knew also that he had to watch out. A rich man could just go to the government and turn this village upside down if he wanted to. Seti would not let that happen.

Byoux sat up quickly after she was being pushed away violently. She watched the young man sit and guard his house. She sat on her knees and just waited for more to happen, or not.

((mm sorry by then I'll be busy, Thursday nights mean me and my twin bro watch a load of tv and eat junk...pretty much the only time I get to talk to him!!!)) Kirus was aware that he was probably being watched, not only was he walking through the rain without means of protection, but he was obviously English, besides that, he was one of the only figures in the deserted streets. To be honest he had no way of knowing where he was going, he would have to find someone to help him, if not buy himself a guide. He wasnt sure how easy trade was here, if the barter and trade of humans slid so easliy in the circles he usually ran with, no matter, with enough money he found, anything was possible. Kirus was also painfully aware that he spoke not one word of the lingo here, and had no intention of learning any, so an English speaking guide would be the most useful of all. He stopped a moment and cast a glance around him, trying to get his barings now the sea sickness had mostly slipped away. The rain was grey against greyer skys, he wondered if this were the norm for this forign country, or if he had caught the weather on a bad turn. He often did.

Byoux was getting curious and leaned forward a bit to be able to watch. She senced no bad people around so she dared to look. She knew she was capable of killing within less than a second.
She saw the man standing there in the empty street. He looked far from the people who where usually there.
"He looks lost. We should help him." She pushed Seti away lightly and slipped into her Geisha slippers. Without a look at Seti she walked into the rain, her steps where pretty quick. The rain was comming down faster and harder. Byoux's kimono was by now already soaked, as was her hair that now was plastered against her form.
The young looking woman walked up to the stranger. She stopped a few meters from him. "Do you need help? Or a shelter?" She said in the best english she could.

Seti jumped to his feet quickly, following Byoux and moving at her side. His katana unlocked for if he needed it. But he waited, showing no sign of what he had in mind or wanted to do. His piercing eyes where fixed on the soaked english man. He understood perfectly well what Byoux asked him. They both knew alot of languages though japanese stayed the one they loved most. The samurai waited on his spot. His eyes hard and cold. He would kill this man if he tried something towards this woman. Since she was the one who gave birth to him. She looked young, she looked around 28, though she was slightly older. He himself was 18, but he looked older. He was mature at a young age already.

She looked young, she looked around 28, though she was slightly older. He himself was 18, but he looked older. He was mature at a young age already. Kirus was startled a little as a young woman walked towards him, though he did not show it, the rain seeming to cause her to look agile and her step undeniably smooth. He assumed the attire she was dressed in was something of a local delacasy, and sure enough her appearance was not unnapreciated, in this light, the yards of purple satin caused her eyes to seem violet also. The smooth english that slipped from her tounge was more of a suprise that her apperance had been, and a small smile threatened the edges of his lips, though again, he did not let it show. The apperance of an even younger male distracted him enough, the male was barley past manhood, though his demeanor seemed hardened beyond his years. Kirus looked between the two for a moment in silence, remembering himself, he plastered a pleasent smile on his features and placing a flat palm on his chest, he bowed a little. "how good of you to come out into this questionable weather to help a stranger in need- I do hope I havent disturbed you"
