[Fallen][angel AkanoChan Sakura heard a sound at the door, so she walked over to it. "Konnichiwa?" Sakura asked at the new face. "May I help you?" "Uh yes...I'm Hoshirei and I was just brought to this okiya." She said smileing. " Well, I guess this is it..." She thought. " I think I'm going to become a maid here..." (2) "well welcome," Sakura said, "I am Sakura, I am a maiko. If your a maid let me show you the maids quarters." Sakura lead the new girl down the hall, "Here it is."

"Oh, dear Omny," Tora said sweetly. "There are many types of kimono for different occasions. You have a kimono a maid would wear, a kimono a maiko would wear, a kimono for geisha, a kimono for special events, a kimono for everyday, and kimonons for weddings. The difference may be as small as the sleeve length or how many layers there are or even the pattern. You'll learn all the names soon enough." Tora smiled and giggled then slipped into her shoes.

Omny quickly smiled and open the screen door and took a step outside " Ayame, onee-chan! Lets go!" She said happily before walking out into the streets. SHe was breath taken seeing the streets of japan for the very first time in daylight " Wow, there is alot of people here..." she said to herself.

Ayame shrugged her shoulders. "Most people think sakura blossoms are beautiful, but I actually prefer hakubaikou; more poetic, and the fragrance is pleasing." she slipped into her shoes.

Sakura was thinking to herself and decided there was to many people named Sakura. Sakura decided to change use her middle name instead, Usagi. She was getting confussed when people called out Sakura and several people responded. So for now her name is Usagi CherryBlossom.

" My favorite flower is the wild white bells, they are very very rare and were brought to me on my birthday. To me sakuras are just so common and over used. But then agian this is just my opinion"Then Omny hurried Ayame and Tora outside so they could go shoping. As theybegan their walk through the streets she sort of noticesed she stuck out " Um is it me or people are staring?"

"Must I agree that the sakura blossom is overused on kimono prints, but it is a national emblem for Japan. It symbolises more of the samurai than the geisha." Ayame heard Omny's question and looked at people's faces. Indeed, they were all glancing at Omny. "You are like an exotic bird amongst us city pigeons." she said simply. "There aren't many foreigners in Gion, so it's rare to see someone from a different background."

As the other one had said, the Maid quarters were indeed... just down teh hall. Anger errupted on the young maid once more. "Hell..." She said and muttered something else. "Why the hell am I here?" She asked herself. Sakura tossed her jet black hair and glanced around the okiya a few times. She was still angered and upset by teh fact that her own family, whom she once placed her trust on, would sell her for this new, miserable life. Well ther only thing left to do was to suceed, she thought a smirk displaying upon her face.

"What's Gion?" Omny asked Ayame as they kept walking down the streets. But quickly distracted Omny noticed a Kimono shop " Maybe we should go in there?". It would be nice getting a kimono and my gowns being not the only thing I have thats formal she thought before taking a glance in.

"Gion is the name of our district," Tora repled. She flowed into place behind the girls to let them enjoy the scenery. She noticed the people staring at them and she bowed to each and every one, not losing her step. Tora noticed the girls stop at a kimono shop and heard Omny express her interest. "Of course we can go in," she smiled.

Serena noticed how angry that new girl was and she hoped she would change her mind about the place.

Sakura was now back to work. Cleaning the kitchen... sweeping the wooden floors, and then cleaning them with water. She had made up her mind about something, not sure quite... what it was seeing she was too angered to remember. Angered? No... More like letting all hell loose.
She was always hot tempered, perhaps that was one of the reasons her family sold her. "At least it isn't a whore house," She thought and looked around, a wet rag in her hand and a bucket of water on the other. Sakura sighed, touching her necklaces. She called it Nyumikomi. New Hope. She balanced the red gem on her fingers, how she came upon it... that was simple to explain.
The day before she came here, she visited a river stream near her house. It just so happens she tripped over something. No it wasn’t the gem, it was a rock. Behind the rock glistened something rather bright and shiny? Sakura loved shiny things, but this one was the one she held more feelings towards. She was afraid they were going to take it away, and so hid it behind her shirt, up until now. Sakura smiled for the first time since she arrived to this okiya and went back to work.
Her almost red eyes turned towards the other maid. "You know, you missed a spot," She added bitterly. An entire hallway actually.

Ayame gazed in awe at all the kimonos on display, fabrics ranging from cotton to silk.
"Irashaimase!" the kimono shop owner called out, bowing.
Ayame bowed in return, and straightened her dull cotton kimono. Suddenly, a furisode kimono caught her eye. It was full of intricate patterns sewn delicately in gold, with a matching obi made from fine, heavy silk. How she would love to have it! She fingered the exspensive material in vain.

Javign no idea what the shop keeper said , you could say her marbels scatered. Omny trying to fit in hopfuly abit more she folowed Ayame'slead and bowed and took a step inside " That's a cute kimono" Omny said chearfully to Ayame's choice. To her allkimonos looked alike but the colors were difrent Omny just browesesd through things looking a bit lost but only in her mind being terrified. What if I pick the wrong kimono?! Those look incrediably hard to move in, but compared to the metal skirts I'v had this would be easy.... I hope. Her thoughts were at loss flying everywhere.
