Yuri laughed not being disrespectful.
" Not all Maiko move from their original Okiya to new ones." She smiled.
"I moved here from my first okiya to be with my onee-san Hara and ontinue my training."

Tora waited twenty more minutes and decided to leave the office. She floated down the steps, feeling a little better now that she'd meditated. She went outside and she let the warm rays wash over her. Tora looked to the blue sky and took in a deep breath. "Ah," she sighed. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Yuri, Sakura, and a new maid sitting in the garden. She floated over to them and her ice-blue eyes sparkled like crystals. Tora stood in front of the maid and smiled and then bowed. "Hello, my name is Tora and I am the head geisha to this okiya," she informed the new maid. "What's your name, dear?" she asked.
((OOC: That's okay, Meldisse! biggrin heart ))

Giving a deep bow to Tora, Aki-chan says " Hajimemashite. Thank you so much for welcoming me to the okiya. Please let me know if there is anything that I may do for you. I want to learn as much as I can from my time as a maid." She comes out of her bow.
Aki-chan is so happy to meet the head geisha of the okiya and hopes to help all of the geisha and maiko in the okiya.

"I will let you know if I need something special," Tora smiled. "For now, just keep everything neat-and-tidy," she added. "We have no assigned chores for our maids. Everyone works together." Tora sat beside the group and looked around their gardens and closed her eyes. It felt good to be out of that office and in the sunshine!

Feeling very good about how everything has gone ( meetinf yo-chan, sakura-chan, and the head geisha Tora ) Aki desides to start working. She gets up from her sitting position and bows low and says with a ::shy smile::, "Thank you for your kindness. I will go start working right away now. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you..."
Aki then walks back into the okiya feeling very happy and calmed about her new home in the okiya.
Once inside, Aki changes into the blue kimono and obi that Yo-chan had given her. Then she looks around for the dusting supplies. She carefully wipes any of the wodden or glass furnishings.
As she is doing this she thinks about many things and then a song comes into her head and she humms in a very sorft voice. It is one for incouraging yourself to work hard and make others happy.
After she stops and looks around she thinks she has done a very good job and hope it correct. She then walks back out to the garden to see if anyone needs any help with something.

"I'm fine, hon," Tora smiled, but she got to thinking. "You know what, some fresh tea would be wonderful!" she said. "Here in the garden, for everyone!" she said. "What does everyone think?" she asked, looking at the group around her.

"Of course" Aki says as she bows looks around to see if there are still only three people sitting and then walks back into the okiya.
She finds the kitchen and starts boiling the water. Searches through a cubored and finds some very nice green tea and starts to boil it with the water. When it is nice and hot Aki strains the green tea in to three cups and puts the rest into a nice little tea pink clored tea pot. She then takes the tea out to the maiko and head geisha.......

"Thank you," Tora smiled. "So, is this your first day?" she asked the maid. Tora took a sip of the tea and smiled- it was very good.

[[OOC: Again, sorry for having left this guild for ages, I took time off from Gaia. But I'm back =] and my last post was only 30 pages ago sweatdrop
And also, Tora, I'm only on the 'class roll' for Art class- how many classes does a maiko take?]]
Akemi pulled herself upright from her kneeling position in the garden. She looked around at the beautiful scenery again, it was an endless source of pleasure to her. She had been in the garden to meditate, and think of her past life, and how thankful she was to be here at the okiya. Others would not be so lucky.
She smiled, and rearranged her kimono, brushing dew off from her knees. The scent of cherry blossom in the air cleared her head and she walked back to the kitchen. Upon seeing new faces, she bowed her head and introduced herself, saying "Konnichiwa, my name is Akemi and I am a maiko here. Hajememashite."

Bowing low to the new maiko.... Akime introduces herself. " Hajimemashite. I am Akime and I have just started at this okiya as a maid. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you."
Akemi-chan, Would you like a cup of tea too? I have just made a pot of green tea and would be happy to go get you a cup ^_^......

"Thank you Akime, tea would be lovely." Akemi let out a nervous laugh and then said, "My, we have very similar names, don't we?! Is there anything I can help you with?"

Yes. I was thinking the same thing about are names ::laughs a little too:: . What does Akemi mean? My one means the season fall.
I will go get you some tea now.
:: Goes to the kitchen::
Let's see now the cup. Oh good there it is. :: Poors the tea::
:: Goes back out to the garden and gives the tea to Akemi-chan::
How is everybody today?

"Akemi means 'bright beauty'. Your name is lovely," Akemi smiled again, glad to be making friends with the new maid. She accepted the cup of tea graciously, thanking Akime for her kindness. Slowly, she took a sip, taking care not to burn her tongue.

"As well as to be expected," Tora replied to the question. She smiled and took another dip of her tea. "So, Akemi-chan, where're you from?" the Geisha asked with a keen interest.
