kitty-kungfu Iyasu watched him the group around her while she gently strumed, Yokome seemed to be enthralled with the music while Amaya and Solice seemed to be drifting off into other thoughts. Her hazel eyes shifted over to Akira who insisted that she play at faster tempo. He knew that she was playing slow for him. A blush came to her cheeks as he caught her, however the delight and dancing in his eyes and the sweet grin he gave her gave the geisha reassurance.
With a boldness appearing in Akira's harmony, Iyasu sped up the tempo. She focused on her playing, but stole a glance over to Akira. A single tear fell down his cheek, that he did not notice. She batted her eyes in confusion as she finished up the tune.
"Akira-san, are you all right?" She asked in a hushed tone. "Did I offend you by playing too slow?" Akira seemed dazed for a moment. He looked up at Iyasu who had asked him if she had offended him. He smiled gently. "Not at all. Just...playing had brought back some...memories of mine that I thought I had locked away. All is well." He patted his hair closer to his hidden eye, just to make sure his eye was still hidden, and no one could see it. He smiled again. "By the way, thankyou for listening." he said to the other guests. "It was with pleasure! I have not played in 5 years. It was a relief!" Akira bowed his head towards them, then looked back to Iyasu. "You have such beautiful talent. I am sure it took you a while to master it completely. I applaud you." Akira bowed his head in repect. He held out his flute to her. "Would you like to play it for me? Only one other person, besides myself of course, " he sweat a little, "has ever been able to master the soul of that flute. I would like you to try." Akira closed his eye in a smile.

((OOC: Just letting you all know, I'm heading out of town tonight and I will not be back until sunday. I'll catch up with it on sunday! Sorry the for the delay all!))
Iyasu smiled back to him, knowing that he was not offended. When he complimented her for her musical ability, she bowed a thank you to Akira along with a shy smile. When Amaya rose up after the breif performance to take her leave, she it might be best if Yokome followed along the same path. It was getting late in the night and there was much to be done in the next day.
"Thank you very much, Akira-san. It will be an honor to play your flute, but if I may play your flute after I get my younger sister a rickshaw to bring her home." She asked softly.

Solice nodded, standing as well. "You both did an excellent job. I shall also bid you goodnight. I hope to see you again very soon." Solice said as he stretched a little, heading towards the doors.

Amaya followed suit, knees cracking during the first couple of strides as she did so.

Akira stared at his flute for a moment. "Sure. But, I don't think I will be here when you return." Akira looked at something in the distance. A serious look covering up the light that had previously been there a moment ago. "In fact..I dont even know how long I will be around. I have just came in from Okinawa, and have not slept since my arrival two days ago. I am leaving again tomorrow, if I am not delayed." An annoyed expression appeared on his face. "However..." Maybe I could stay here a little while longer. Something is telling me to stay. For some reason. Is it...? Akira suddenly looked up from the area he had looked towards when he was thinking. He shook his head out of his thoughts, and feined a smile towards the party in his company. "Of course, if you so wish it, I could escort for you. I have nothing better to do and being in the presence of such beautiful women reminds me of my duty as a bod-uhem-samurai. Excuse me." Akira stood up and held his hand out to assist Iyasu in standing. "I could never forgive myself if anything happened to a young lady such as yourselves. Besides, where would my manners be?" Akira's seen eye closed in a smile.

"Thank you very much, Akira-san!" She smiled as her dark eyes met his visible one for a breif moment. "Would you still like for me to play your flute once Yokome-chan is off and after I help Amaya-san and Solice-san with their shoes?"

Akira grinned as she took his hand. He noticed her blush and inwardly smiled. How cute. He led them towards the exit.

She held onto Akira's hand for a moment or two longer, before letting it go and following him to the door. She asked one of the maids to hire a rickshaw for Yokome.
"Yokome-chan, the rickshaw should be here for you very soon. So, while we wait, please come and observe me." She smiled as she took her in little sister's appearance. Iyasu walked a head of Solice and Amaya. She gathered their shoes for them and helped each of them into their respectible pairs.
"I hope both of you had a good time evening! It has been an honor to serve you this night." She said softly, as she beamed up to both of them. Iy-chan stood up slowly as she walked out with the guests to see them off to their next destination. She glanced over her shoulder to see how Akira was.

Yokome did as she was told and followed Iyasu-san. She watched carefully as her Onee-san helped put the patrons. How good she was at it!

Akira stood and waited, wishing there was something else he could do to help. He was very happy to escort the young lady, and it has been a while since he had been around any form of people or society. This was a good way to get back into the habit of having good conversations and being the gentleman he always was. Besides...He loved the little blushes on the ladies faces...They are so cute! Akira absentmindedly chuckled out loud, before he caught himself and blushed a little. His seen eye had been observing the area for any trouble and signs of possible dangerous encounters, his other eye, remained hidden as it always was.

Iyasu bowed to Amaya and Solice before she returned to her younger sister and Akira. She smiled to Akira and to Yokome.
"Did you have a good time this evening?" Her question was pointed to Yokome, "And I hoped you learned a few things as well!"
She was about to speak to Akira, however a loud noise emerged from the entrance of the lounge. It was the rickshaw against the cobble stones, coming to a halt. A slight sigh passed by her ruby lips, as a faint smile came upon them.
"Yokome-chan, the rickshaw is here to take you to the okiya. I'll be home in a few hours!" She promised as she looked over to Akira, flushing a little. "Sleep well, Imooto (younger sister)."

Akira stood patiently and waited. There was seriously no need to rush, and he certainly didnt mind the exchange between sisters. He had been in this kind of situation before. And it was not with a sibling or family. It was with her. He sighed and took Iyasu's hand gently. "Just let me know when you are ready." He patted her hand as he smiled gracefully.

kairisesshy "Go ahead and wait by the door Mitsuka, you too Kikaru. I'll have a maid call for one." Kyoku nodded and walked off to find a maid. Once she had, she returned to the entrance and slid the door open slightly. "He should be here in a few minutes, go ahead and keep watch. Go straight back to your okiyas, i should be home in a few hours Kikaru."
