Reishi arrived home again, Her mansion looked even more beautiful and sturdy with the sunset in the background.
Reishi: ...
Reishi had decided not to go in and enjoy the beautiful sunset in her garden. She to loved to just relax and chill in garden
Her garden itself could be described as a formal garden. The bonsai trees lined the perfect lawn in their wooden boxes. In the centre there was a pond as large as a small lake with flowering lily pads and a wooden bridge that crossed the middle so you could look down at the koi carp. The flower beds were a riot of May colour and even on close inspection they were weed-free.
Reishi loved it and many times Read to herself in the garden.
Reishi: It's time to relax…..
She sat down in her favorite chair in front of the koi pond and looked at the beautiful sunset, it was ecstasy for her.
*Brushle*
Reishi: ?
She heard a brusseling coming her bushes
She cautiously got up to investigate.
She got nervous and thought it was a rapist
Reishi: Hello? Is someone there?
*Shuffling*
All she heard was more moving noises.
Reishi: (oh god, please dont be a peeping tom…. Or Hattori.)
She carefully sifted through bushes until she came across the person or thing that going through her bushes.
Dog: *Ruff*
Reishi: Ah!
She quickly released that her intruder was just a four legged friend who was hungry...
Reishi: Oh, it's just you….. Thought it was a pervert or something.
Dog: Woof
Reishi: You must be hungry, if your going through my bushes. But unfortunately I dont have anything for you
She petted the dog carnally.
It wasnt the first time she had encountered this specific beast. She had encountered him before, but he usually just went away after being caught
Dog: *Whimper*
Reishi: …..
She saw it was whimpering and gave in.
Reishi: Fine. You can come inside buddy.
The dog followed her inside from the backdoor entrance.
From that entrance leads into the kitchen which was a sleek, professionally designed, bespoke, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, spotless, scrubbed, well equipped, utensils on hooks, matching cups, uncluttered, clean folded tea towel, gentle swish from the dishwasher, efficient hum of refrigerator, professional knife block, dried flowers hung from beams, nothing superfluous, minimalistic, uncluttered, ceramic floor tiles, underfloor heating.
Juno: *hiss*
Juno who was resting on a shelf spotted the dog and hissed at it.
Reishi: calm down Juno, He's just a guest that'll be staying here for the night.
Juno: *Hisssssss*
The cat hissed and lept away.
Dog: *Woof*
Reishi: You know, You can be a real pain sometimes….?
Dog: *woof*
Reishi went to Her glorious refrigerator to get some food and while she did she began to talk to the dog.
Reishi: Almost every week, I find you in my garden eating my berries. Dont you have an owner or something?
Dog: *Bark*
Reishi: *Sigh* I take that as A no., I bet you dont have a name either.
Dog: *whimper*
The dog climbed on her leg
Reishi: woah ok... , i'll give you a name….. How about Hiro?
Hiro: WOOF!
The dog woofed proudly at it's new name, it was cleary happy at it.
Reishi: Ok hiro it is!
She pulled out a can of tuna from the refrigerator and fed to her furry friend.
Reishi had found a new friend in Hiro. but still had doubts in her heart
Could she overcome them?
