Shagatsu arose and walked over to Arikku. "Hello Arikku! you can sit here, in the shrine and meditate quietly, you can meditate to the left of the waterfall, on one of the rocks in front of the waterfall, or you can sit on the right, near the forest, where I sing and play gu zheng. Have fun and relax! 3nodding " He said kindly with a smile.

Arikku stood and looked to Shagatsu and smiled, "Arigato, but do you have somewhere not so quiet? I think I'm more comfortable when there is more noise." She asked.
She hoping her request did not sound so stupid since she knew it was a waterfall which was noisy. She hoped her knew what she meant.

Arikku giggled, "That would be wonderful. Thank you." she said with a sweet smile and bowed. She came up and brushed some dirt off her yukata down near her knees.

Arikku smiled and bowed, she then walked over to where Shagatsu had told her about. She sat down once agian. She looked around at the beauty of the area. Arikku took a deep breath and let it out. She felt so relaxed there.

Iyasu watched Arriku drift down to the waterfall. She had seen the girl in some of her classes at school. She had extraordinary hair.
"Well, perhaps I should be going . . ." She smiled to everyone, "Unless, Shagatsu-san or Shinichi-san has any stories to share?"

Yokome was sitting at the waterfall by now. She was sitting on a rock. The mist of the water felt so cool and exhilarating. It felt so peacful. She just felt the mist on her skin.

Makoto quietly entered the shrine, she imediately headed out to the waterfall, following its sounds. She hopped over the rocks moving the rock closest too it. She looked around she saw others around but she was still fairly alone. She sat down on the rock her shoes she left at the bank of the lake away from where the could be swept away. She sat down and folded her legs. She closed her eyes clearing her mind of any and everything she left all her worries letting them flow down stream with the water.

Seeing that Shagatsu was finished with his questions, Shinichi looked at all the new comers to the shrine.
"If it is a story you would like, Iyasu-chan, I could tell you one." He said to the young lady infront of him. "What would you like to hear about?"

"Anything, Shinichi-san." She replied to the samurai, as she walked over to a bench. "What story do you have in mind?"
She took a seat on the bench, ready to listen to Shinichi's story. Since he was a samurai, he might some great adventures to share. The maiko would not know until the story teller shared his travels and experiences.

Arikku sat with her legs folded to one side. She was sitting on one rock and leaning on the other. The maiko was next to the waterfall wich was not as loud as you would think. She felt the mist splash onto her.
She had her yukata on looser than her usual kimono wich was almost constricting on her a lot of the time. Her eyes shut as she felt the warmth of the sun on her face. She turned her head and looked up. She felt very relaxed here. "It's so peacful here." she said with a smile.

Arikku opened her eyes and looked to Shagatsu. She had forgotten he was there. She then sat up on the rock. She smiled, "You mentioned something about singing earlier Shagatsu-san. I didn't know you could sing. I mean I never actually heard you." she giggled at her memory of the tea house.
"All I've ever seen you do is show me your weird luck and getting a little drunk. Not to be disrespectful." she said bowing hoping not to affend him. She then picked her head up and said, "I would like to here how you sing. "

Shinichi, still kneeling in front of the waterfall, turned to face Iyasu. Making eye contact with her, he related one of the stories of his travels.
"It was shortly after my departure from the village, the sun had just risen over the mountain. With the sun to my back I headed into the wood before me. Once my shadow had passed from my view two lug headed ninjas came at me from behind." His green eye seemed to look past Iyasu as he told his story. It seemed as if he was reliving it in his mind.

Akasha_Hamasaki Arikku opened her eyes and looked to Shagatsu. She had forgotten he was there. She then sat up on the rock. She smiled, "You mentioned something about singing earlier Shagatsu-san. I didn't know you could sing. I mean I never actually heard you." she giggled at her memory of the tea house. "All I've ever seen you do is show me your weird luck and getting a little drunk. Not to be disrespectful." she said bowing hoping not to affend him. She then picked her head up and said, "I would like to here how you sing. " "hahah forgive me, it would be my pleasure to show you!" he took a seat next to Arikku and closed his eyes. He sang a graceful song. It flowed with everything around him. It seemed to reach down and dip into the soft waters of the waterfall only to rise again into the canopy of green and grasp the clouds out of the air. Then, just as it had started, it was over. It was a long song, but it was made to seem short. another one of the tricks from his home village. He opened his eyes and smiled at Arikku. " i can do many other things too! Haahahaha, contrary to what you have seen, i am not just a juggling fool... hehe" he said with a hearty laugh and small flick of his emo hair.
