When she stepped out onto the platform she was greeted with the cool night air, and a white Rolls Royce with a small group of people in front of it. She gracefully descended the stairs to the tarmac and greeted the people with a pearly white smile. She recognized Takashi from the last photo he emailed, but it was his younger brother who stepped forward. He smiled, and to her surprised he began to sigh an elaborate welcome. She smiled, and began to sign back, but spoke as she did so.

"Thank you for your wonderful greeting Satoshi-kun, if it makes you feel better you can speak normally." The group of people seemed surprised, and looked to her puzzled. "I read lips really well, it makes people more comfortable if they don't half to sign." Takashi smiled, and opend the car door, and gestured for you to get in.

Entering the Morinozuka estate was like walking into the futile era. Traditional everything right down to the sliding panel doors. Master Morinozuka and his wife where out on business, and so it was just the maids to greet her. They were polite showing her and her entourage to the north wing, where they were all staying. The head maid explained to Bennie, who in turn signed to Leiko.

"The north wing is Madam Amaya's, there are servant's quarters, a kitchen, living area with access to the gardens and of course her master bedroom. The masters insist that she see this wing as her own household and is allowed to run it however she wants."

And with that, the head maid left, there were a few main house maids in the wing putting up Leiko's belongings, who had just finished on her arrival. They also left like the head maid, leaving Leiko alone with her servants. Her servants when off in their perspective directions, leaving Leiko to explore. First off was her bedroom, which she found on the top floor. She slid open the door to find her room was spacious, and sparsely decorated. There was a large, four post canopy bed that was bare of curtains and trimmings. She made a mental note to fix that problem. The bed was situated in the center of the room, and beyond that was another door. She passed the bed, and slid it open to reveal the moon and fresh air. The veranda was big enough to lie out on to tan, and it overlooked the guardian. She slid the door closed again, feeling something was behind her.

"That's a good way to get stabbed," she said, voice soft and silky. She turned to see Takashi standing in her door way. He stood looking thoughtfully at her. His big dark eyes scanning her cool expression, she smiled and winked at him. "I said it's a good way, not that I was going to." She knew he had been searching for some hint of danger from her, finding non he moved across the room to stand in front of her. He paused; she saw the flicker of unease in her eyes as he lifted his hands. Instead she closed the gap, and placed her right hand on his neck. She looked up into his dark eyes. She could feel the deep rumble of surprised that sounded from his chest, she closed her eyes and smiled contently. "When the body louses one sense, the others compensate. I can feel sound." She felt him sigh, before he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into an embrace. She buried her face in his strong chest and felt the sound of his voice reverberate into her body.

"Leiko"

"Hm?" she sighed enjoying the closeness. Their relationship over the year's coincided through letters and online chat. The last time she had been this close to him was eleven years ago when he had unsuccessfully tried to throw her. The vibrations began again making her skin tingle.

"Do you like your room?"

" With some re-arranging and the addition of an actual canopy yes." He moved away from her to the bed, grabbed hold of the posts with his hands and looked at her.

"Where would you like it."

"I can do it, you don't" She felt the disturbance of air in the door. "Hello Satoshi.. and friend.." She felt the disturbance of two bodies now in the room. She turned to see the ever excited Satoshi, and a boy of roughly the same size with brown hair and glasses. The boy with the glasses looked at Satoshi and spoke.

"If she's def, how did she know-"Satoshi jumped on him and began to pull on his cheeks.

"How dare you insult!" Leiko glided to the boys and lifted Satoshi off with ease.

"It was an honest question." She cooed as she set Satoshi back on the floor. She turned back to the boy with the glasses who was now rubbing his read face. She cupped his face in her soft hands and smiled.

"Same way a blind man can walk with ought tripping, the body compensates in strange ways young Haninozuka." She felt the click thought the room, she just creped out the boys.

"How did you-"

"You look like Mitsukuni"
