"Yeah, never a sad place...," Keiji trailed off. His gaze on Kaida unfocused as memories of his and Tora's talk flooded his mind.

"Ke-kun?" Kaida asked, her look growing confuzed. "What's wrong?" she asked, placing a hand on his arm.

"It's nothing," replied Keiji, shaking his head. "Tora created this place out of sadness," he said glancing around. He spotted Tora at the far end of the garden and looked away.

"What do you mean?" she asked, following his gaze. She too spotted Tora and saw how sad she looked.

"Not long ago, before you were a maiko, I was new to this city and as I came in, this was the first place I saw. I came in and Tora took care of me," Keiji said, starting to walk about. "She was very sad and I asked why." Keiji studied his feet as he walked and tightend his grip around Kaida's hand. "She told me a story of love and betrayal. I thought it was fiction, but it was herself she was speaking of." Keiji stole a glance at Tora before he began again. "She was in love with a man and he ended up with her little sister." Keiji stopped there, in fear he'd hurt the person who'd damage such a beautiful flower.

Kaida trotted alongside Keiji and listened to the story he was telling her. As he came to a pause, Kaida's thoughts were running loose. "What? That's so sad!" Kaida said with tears in her eyes. She looked back at Tora and now she knew why there was such a sad aura about her. "W-who would do such a thing?" she asked sadly, holding on to Keiji tighter.

"No need for you to worry," Keiji said, placing his hand around her shoulder and hugging her. His gaze flowed around the garden as they walked along a path. Keiji looked at Kaida's sad face and pulled her off to the side and backed her against a tree and smiled.

"But Keiji," Kaida pleaded. She then felt the gentile tug of him pulling her and felt the tree against her back. She giggled at first then gazed into his eyes and her heart began to race. Kaida stared into Keiji's eyes, unblinking.

Keiji smiled more as he pinned her against the tree. "Did I ever tell you you're too kind?" he winked. Keiji leaed in and kissed her on the lips. He pulled Kaida close and hugged her as they kissed under the cherry tree. He kissed her for a long time and pulled away. "I. Love. You," he mouthed.

Kaida blushed as she was pinned. Her heart raced as Keiji moved in closer and kissed her. She fell faint and held on to him tightly. This kiss was so differet from the rest. She wondered why. As Keiji pulled away, he left her wanting more. Her eyes fluttered open as he said 'I. Love. You.' She smiled at him. "I love you too. So much!" Kaida fell into his arms and burried her face in his chest. "Ke-kun, is there something we can do to help Tora-sama?" Kaida asked.

Keiji held Kaida in his arms and hugged her tight. "Tora has to heal on her own. We can support her, and that's it." Keiji looked at Kaida and smiled. "I know what that pretty little mind is thinking. No, we can't heal her heart!" Keiji laughed and placed his hands on her waist. He walked over to the bridge and trew some bread crumbs to the fish. "Are you ready to go?" he asked with a smile.

Kaida blushed at Keiji's remark and looked to the ground. She looked back up and smiled a him as he placed an arm around her waist. Kaida walked with Keiji to the pond and giggled at the fish comming up to eat the food. Kaida hear Keiji's question and sighed. She looked around one last time before replying yes.

~Lunar Kiasaka~ Luna smiled. "I suppose the best form of experience is to go and see what it's like for ourselves and learn from that, I've been in the teahouse a few times but I have not entertained anyone before." She nodded and gripped Popo's hand for reassurance. She paused for a moment and smiled warmily. Luna was a bit forward, but it shows that she follows her heart. Iyasu nodded, "If that is what you wish, my dear. Are you up for that Tanpopo? We would go right away to the salon."
