Thanks for all the reviews!!!
MiSao-chaN: Really? Thank you for minding me a mistake I made, I will write Shishio-san now when Sojiro talks to Shishio. I hope you liked the rest.
"Oro" Object: Haha, thank you, I'm happy you think it is interesting.
Animefan33392: Thank you, there is a chapter two and three now, so you can see who is behind her.
Okay and here I go again: I do not own RK ( do you really have to say that every time? ) Have fun with chapter four!
Prev: Sora was still thinking. Was it a good choice to go with Shishio? What was awaiting her in the mountain Hieï? With all kind of thoughts in her head, she closed here eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning Shishio, Sojiro and Sora continued there travel to the mountain Hieï. Sora didn't had such a good sleep but she wasn't tired or something. She was mostly thinking in the night.
Shishio walked as first, guiding Sojiro and Sora in the forest. Sojiro started talking with Sora.
"Did you have a good night Miss Sora?" with a smile he looked at Sora.
"Uh…ya, it wasn't bad…you?"
"Well to tell the truth Miss Sora, I had better nights." Sojiro said still smiling.
This made Sora laugh a little, she looked smiling at Sojiro. Then it was silent for a moment.
"We are almost there." Said Shishio suddenly. "In an hour we are there."
In ten minutes they where at the foot of the mountain, they began to go up the mountain using a little pad. And finally they where at the entrance of Shishio his secret hideout: the mountain Hieï, the shrine with the six arches.
( AN: did I write this correct? )
Before someone of the three could open the door, the door already went open. A man stood behind the door. He had black hair and a green coat.
"Shishio-sama! I just knew you would com back this day!" He said very enthusiastic.
"Yes of course Houji." Shishio replied. "We had a little chance in the plans because of someone." He nodded in the direction of Sora.
Sora bowed a little at Houji and Houji bowed back surprised. Then Houji got close to Shishio.
"Shishio-sama, why is that girl here with you?" He asked curious.
"She is a new member of the Juppongatana." Shishio simply replied.
"A-a girl?!" Houji said clearly don't understanding why a girl of sixteen would join the Juppongatana.
"Yes Houji, a girl." Shishio said annoyed. "Do you have a problem with that?"
"N-no, of course not Shishio-sama!" Houji said quickly.
"Then let us in Houji."
"Of course Shishio-sama."
Two minutes later they where in a really beautiful hallway with very much doors in it. Sora looked around curious trying not to fall behind. Suddenly they stopped walking and Sora almost walked against Sojiro.
A beautiful woman came out from one of the doors. When she saw Shishio she ran at him.
"Shishio-sama!" the woman yelled very happy.
She hugged Shishio carefully and he gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"I think you are a little bit late Shishio-sama…"
"Indeed I am Yumi, but I have a good reason for it. I have found a new fighter for the Juppongatana."
Yumi looked behind Shishio and then saw Sora. Yumi let go of Shishio and bowed at Sora.
"I am Yumi, nice to meet you."
Sora bowed back. "I am Sora, nice to meet you too Miss Yumi."
Yumi smiled. "A girl in the Juppongatana, who would ever think that would happen? But if Shishio-sama believes that you are strong enough, I believe it to."
"Thank you Miss Yumi." Sora smiled.
Shishio then started to talk with Houji. "We must make new plans now Houji. So let's go." Houji nodded.
"Can I com with you Shishio-sama?" Yumi asked.
"Of course you can Yumi."
"Sojiro?" Shishio asked. "Could you give Miss Sora a little bit information about this place here?"
Sojiro smiled. "No problem Shishio-san!"
Shishio turned around and with Yumi at his arm he followed Houji.
"Okay Miss Sora!" Sojiro said smiling to Sora. "What do you want to see first?"
"Uhm…let us start by the beginning."
"O ya, that a good idea!" Sojiro said scratching his head, but still smiling.
Sora started to laugh. "Well let's go then."
Sojiro nodded. "Follow me Miss Sora."
They stopped at the first door in the hallway.
"This is a large bathroom, and with large I mean very large. Normally I would show you how it looks inside, but maybe somebody is in there…"
Sora smiled. "Okay, let's go to the next door."
After very much doors they came at the last one.
"This is a bedroom they build. But nobody is using it. So I guess it will be yours now."
Sojiro opened the door and Sora gasped. It. Was. Huge.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! Thank you!"
Sojiro was really surprised that Sora hugged him. Nobody hugged him before…it felt…nice.
Sora let go of Sojiro and walked to the bed. She sat on it, touched the soft pillow and smiled happily. This was just great.
Sojiro smiled to. "Now, I think it's almost time for dinner Miss Sora. Follow me please."
They came in a very big room with a long table in the middle of it. About five people where putting the table ready.
"Who are all this people?" Sora asked curious.
"They all work for Shishio-san." Sojiro simply replied smiling.
"Really?"
Sojiro nodded. "There are more in the kitchen to. And some doing the laundry. And some just cleaning the place up."
"Wow…it's really…impressing." Sora said.
Then Sora saw there where already people at the table. She all knew them. It were Yumi, Houji and of course Shishio. Sojiro walked to the table and Sora followed quickly.
"Hello Shishio-san. Are you already done with your new plan?" Sojiro asked while he was giving Sora a seat.
"Thank you Sojiro." Sora said smiling at the boy.
"No, we all decided to eat first, it has been a long journey." Shishio answered holding a glass with red wine in his hand.
"A yes I see Shishio-san." Sojiro took a seat for himself across Sora.
Then some people came with plates with lots of food on in the room. They all putted it on the table, bowed at Shishio and walked away. Everything looked delicious and Sora couldn't stop smiling.
After the meal Sora talked a little with Yumi, who was sitting next to her.
"You like the place here?" Yumi asked kindly.
"It's really great in here, I love this place already!"
Yumi smiled. "I'm glad you like it here Miss Sora."
"Miss Yumi," Sora asked. "when will I meet the other members of the Juppongatana?"
"I don't really know Miss Sora." Yumi answered. "I think once Shishio-sama needs them."
"Ow I see. So it can take a while before I see someone else of the Juppongatana?"
"Not really Miss Sora." Yumi smiled. "There is sitting someone of them across you."
Sora looked up at Sojiro. "You are in the Juppongatana Sojiro?"
They boy looked up when he heard his name. "Yes, I am and Houji is too."
Sora looked at Houji. He didn't really look like a fighter. He was talking to Shishio and nodded when Shishio said something.
"But Houji doesn't fight, he settles all kind of thing around here." Sojiro said like he was reading Sora her mind.
"Ah okay, he didn't really look like a fighter to me." Sora said smiling.
Yumi laughed. "I completely understand what you mean."
After a few minutes more talking they all stood up from the table. Immediately, people came in the room to get everything of the table. They all bowed at Shishio and then got the plates of the table.
"Let's get our plan finished now Houji. Are you coming with us Yumi?" Shishio asked when they all had left the room.
"Yes Shishio-sama."
And for the second time Houji, Yumi and Shishio walked away.
"Um…excuse me Sojiro?" Sora asked.
"Yes Miss Sora?"
"Um…could I take a bath please?"
"A bath? No problem Miss Sora, follow me."
They walked at the door that leaded to the bathroom.
"Here you are Miss Sora. Do you want me to stay here so nobody can enter?"
"That would be very nice of you thank you Sojiro."
"Take your time Miss Sora, I don't mind standing here at all."
"Thanks again." Said Sora smiling and she opened the door.
When she closed the door her mouth dropped open. It was like Sojiro said: large.
She walked to the bathtub and saw it was already full with water. She got on her knees and putted her hand in the water. The water was warm.
"It's kind of freaky, but very funny." She thought when she got back on her feet.
She got out of her clothes and slipped herself carefully into the warm water. She sighed, it really felt good. Sora looked around. It was really beautiful in the room.
She closed here eyes. She had never thought she would end in a place like this.
So that was chapter four. I hope I didn't write things wrong. I also hoped you liked it and you will review if you did. See ya in the next chapter!
