Welcome to Gaia! ::

" Okay, here it gose!" She said standing up and flicking her wirst makeing the fan open and reivle it's beautiful deisign. She moved her free hand with grace as she was tought by Yokome, she knew that there was still much for her to learn, but she fell as if she was a geisha at the moment.

"And pivot here!" She told her self lightly.

Finishing Kaida walked back and knelt down next to him. "Boy it's hard to rember..." She said giggleing. " So Mika...What brought you to the okiya?"

"I'm a maiko, and soon I hope that I may fullill my promise to Michi-chan and become her onee-chan, but I still have ways to go..." She sighed and smiled at the thought of wearing a beautful Kimono with her hair put up and pulled back with woudnerful aordaments acentingn her chocolate brown hair.

Sadly she had to force her self back to earth. "Oh, I'm sorry...I must have drifted off again. You had foster parents? That must have been hard for you when you were little...Knowing that your parents weren't your real parents..." She quitly.

"Yes, comeing here has been a wounderful expireance...When I frist got here I met two people and was busy cleaning every day...So I guess that...well...Here you no long are with out a family...All the people here are your family..." She said smileing.

"Soon I hope that I may make my promear...." She told her. " I want to know what the tea house looks like...I want to know everything that I can!" She said smileing.

"No you wouldn't, infacted as a maid I spent a lot of time up there cleaning and looking around, Even thought I mostly stayied down here..." She looked over to Mika and saw her worried exspreission.

Handing Mika her tea she smiled. "Don't worry, there will always be away for darkness to become light once again...It's the same for everything in the world. You can talk to Iyasu again tomarrow and if you want invite her to tea."

Quickly Kaida cought Mika and pulled her arm around her shoulder walking back to the maids quarters she used her foot to pull the covers down and lay Mika gentally down. " Good night Mika-chan." She whispered smileing at her.

Closeing the door she went back to the room that she was just in and placed the tea pot and cups onto the tray and went to the kitchen dumping out the tea and cups washing them and putting them away.

She then went back and held the fan gentally in her hand as she started to do the dance and rember untill it was instict. She wanted to be one of the best geisha's from this okiya and one day be able to smile with Michi at her side as her little sister.

Talking to her self and rembering the steps Kaida soon could go faster and then she added in her own tricks to it. She threw the fan to her other hand moveing her arm with ease as she looked into what she imagined as the tea house with longing eyes.

Michi stepped out into the garden again knowing that it would calm her down,"I hope those two girls get along." she thought to herself, them remember Kaida was going to talk to her before but had to go,"Maybe I should go look for her."she mumbled. Then she stood by the flowers for a moment and returned to the okiya and started to look for her quietly calling her name.((post:79))

((Speeding this up ^^; sorry girls, have to keep the time line moving))

Iyasu waited for the girls to show, but it was getting later by the minute and perhaps it would be best to tell the girls tomorrow. Then she could share with the events of the tea house that evening. She felt horrible because of the actions the older geisha and the newer geisha represented themselves on Tanpopo's debute. She did not want a repeat of it for Luna-chan or the next younger sister she took on. With a heavy sigh she stripped out of her kimono, removed her make up and readied herself for bed. The young geisha snuggled into the blankets of futon, forcing the soft cotton robe to embrace around her more to keep her warm. She wished not to dream that night, it would only bring tears to her.

"Forgive me . . . forgiv --" She mumbled to herself before she drifted off into a semi-dreamless sleep. Gentle salty streams leaked through her closed leds as she slept. The stains would be there in the morning.
