"Ahh hello Ariku! It is always a pleasure! I've been alright, but more importantly, how are you, darling?" He said with a smile

She smiled and nodded.
"I've been fine. I've had a lot of fre time recently because of the slow business in the tea house. It's sad though, I'm really glad to see you. I've been wondering if I was the only one left." she laughed. "So what have you been up to here at the shrine, since I haven't seen you in a while, you must have been busy doing something."

"hmm nothing out of the ordinary. Making instruments and weapons." Shagatsu said, holding up an ornate violin.

Tora walked up slowly to Shagatsu's shrine. She paused in-front of the entrance, glancing down, next to the side... half expecting to still see her little cloth of items there, but she new better--she'd gotten them out of the trash and they were back in her box, safe and sound
It had been such a long time since she was here, and the last time wasn't on such good terms. Tora hoped this time would be different... a time and chance for a new begining.
She walked in and took in all of the sights and smells. She spotted Shagatsu next to the water fall...
"Shagatsu-kun...," she said in almost a whisper. A smile and blush came over her as she watched him from affar.

Shagatsu spotted Tora approaching out of the corner of his eye and layed the violin down on the silk cloth he took it from. He stood and took Tora's hand, gave it a kiss, and bowed. "Hello."

"Hello, Shagatsu-kun," she smiled, blushing. Tora glanced over his shoulder and smiled at Ariku. "Hi, Ariku-chan--" just then, she spied the violin lying on the silk cloth. "Oh, Shagatsu-kun, a violin! Where on earth did you get one?" she asked, amazed.

"I made it, darling. Even put on the deep red finish." He said with a grin.

"Onee-san! How are you. I haven't seen you in forever." she said with a big smile.
She looked to the violin.
"Shagatsu-san that is amazing. You know I played a little bit of violin when I was little. I never really got that good though." she said with a small smile. She thought about how her mother had tried to teach her.

"It's simply magnificent!" she said, looking from the violin to Shagatsu, and smiling. "It's beautiful," Tora added, looking at the detail. "D-do you play?" she asked, wide-eyed.

"Why thank you! I play occasionally, would you like to hear some?" Shagatsu asked.

"Yes please Shagatsu-san. It has been soo long since I have heard a violin..." she said excited to hear the beautiful instrument.

"I would love that," Tora said, holding his hand gently. "And maybe I can bring mine," she smiled playfully.

"If you wish." Shagatsu said and picked up the red instrument. He began to play a slow, deep melody.

Ariku closed her eyes and swayed to the music. It was soo beautiful, and reminded her soo much of home. She smiled slightly.

Tora watched Shagatsu's fingers move along the neck of the violin. The melody made her heart beat deeply with the rhythm. One day I will play like that, she thought.
