The Kage Dojo is not far outside of town and is at the edge of the forest. A small stone wall surrounds it with an arched gate both at the front and back, the back gate leads to a shrine a short ways into the woods. Going down another path from the shrine one with see to there right a small building, and coming from a large open area within is steam, this is the open air hot spring bath house.
Inside the wall surrounding the dojo to the right is a Koi pond and to the left an old cherry tree. To the back outside the dojo is where some martial arts training would be held. Inside, the dojo appears like many, large open area, with punching bags and training dummies to the sides, a large wall scroll with the traditions of the dojo written in their native language hangs on the back wall, cabinets of training gear are also along the back wall. This is the day time image, at night, with the flip of a hidden switch under a sliding panel behind the wall scroll the training gear cabinets flip around to reveal new cabinets with "other" training gear, and the practice dummies and such retract back into the walls and are replaced by "other" practice equipment.
Further down the path a person comes up to a large two story mansion in a mixed style of japanees and western architechture. Twin rows of cherry trees line the stone path that now lead from the dirt path to the front door. This is the home of Kumouri Kage andonly those by special invitation, or newly purchased slaves ever come this far into his property much less get to see inside.

After a fair deal of walking outside of the city, they came to a dirt road leading to the forest. Before they reach the edge of the forest, they would see his dojo.

The red haired girl's eyes widened as she looked up at her beautiful surroundings, from the trees to the ponds and her red ears fell flat on her head as she stared around the area and then she turned to look up at him tentivly as her tail curled around her body.

"This is the kage dojo, training ground for those seeking to study the martial arts, by day at least. At night, is when you will receive your training. But that can be discussed later. First, we shall see to getting you bathed and feed, and show you to your living quarters." Kumouri says to her. He slowly leads her around the dojo to the back and thus to the path. He then asks "what do you think of your new home thus far?"

She looked up at him for a moment then- contimplating how she should best answer him, "....i-it is...comforting..." she said then after a moment as she glanced around again, "...i-i'm very much accustom to these kind of s-surroundings... w-with less people prehaps... but still... it-it seems a very noble place... and it's quiet beautiful.."

Kumouri smiles and says "well this here is merely the training area. Let me show you more of my property and where exactly you will live." He then leads her up a small path, first to the shrine. "This is the family shrine, here is where we pray and honor the memory of our ancestors." He would clan his hand together, bow his head and offer a short prayer to the shrine.

She looked up at him for a moment ceriously as he did this- she'd never been with a human family, so she didn't know who her ancestor's where or if they had a shrine, she turned back to the shrine then and bowed her head as she closed her eyes as she gave a short pray herself out of respect.

Kumouri smiles when he hears this and then looks to Akira and says "come I'll show you the hot spring baths." He takes her hand and would lead her down the dirt path, through more forest, before finally they some to a slightly small building, it has two enterences, one marked for boys, and the other for girls. He then looks to Akira and asks "care to try the hot spring and get yourself washed up?"

She looked up at him for a moment with those big green eyes and then back towards the two different entrences, "...i-if my master premits it...t-then i would love too.." she said then after a moment's pause as she titled her head back up towards him, one ear tilted up and the other titled down.

Kumouri smirks and says "of course you may." He then gestures to the girl's enterence and says "You will need to go in that way, there is a room with towels and herbal soaps and bucket to use for carrying and bathing with. The hot spring is divided to allow for privacy." Kumouri would then enter through the boy's side to change and go into the hot spring himself.

She walked quietly into the bath via the girl entrance and took off her kimono, hanging it to the side as she got the bath ready, she got into the water slowly and sighed in satisfaction, her hair was so long it hung in the water and swirled around her slowly.

The light splash of water on the other side of the divider for the outdoor hotsprings, told of Kumouri having entered the water as well. He too breathed a relaxed sigh. he then calls over to Akira "feels nice, doesn't it?"

The red haired girl smiled softly then as she heard his voice from across the divider, she nodded as she replied, "...v-very much!" she sank into the water then, letting it up to her chin as she let out a small sigh.

Kumouri smiles and says "good, then take your time and enjoy it. I find a relaxing dip in the hotspring is good for the mind and soul as well."

The red haired girl smiled then brightly as she heard him say this; she actually thought the same way and she told him this as she scrubbed herself off.
