Between Us
By: Silverwolf
Hanako carries a small wicker trunk into view. She places it in front of Deidara as the child sits in his room. Deidara looks at Hanako. His older sister beckons for Deidara to open the trunk. The child glances into it to see items that actually belonged to him before he was sold to the okiya.
"This is a gift between us. I decided maybe it'd be good for you to have a place to put things that are actually your own." Deidara grins a moment. Hanako shows the child how the wicker trunk would be bucked shut. Azure eyes blink a moment before going in search of the set of tools. Hanako watches the child place them into the wicker trunk before buckling it tightly. Hanake nods lightly.
As much as the Geisha loved the child she knew Deidara was male, nd in time it would show. This was most likely he reason why he'd been pushed into public eye younger than he counterparts. The wish was to get as much profit as they could out of Deidara before it became too late to pass him off as a geisha. Hanako was sure after puberty his voice would destory to ruse in place.
Hanako looks at Deidara, "you know there hasn't been someone yet that has stated I can't return with you." The blonde child shrugs, "I don't much care about any of that. I know it's to pay of the price of buying me, but I kind of feel I'll be stuck here forever anyway." Hanako places an arm around Deidara. She can understand exactly what the blodne is stating expecially since she knows he's been sold to an okiya before.
Deidara lifts the wicker trunk with a slight smile. "Thanks onee-san. I promise I'll take good care of it." Hanako nods lightly. "I know you will Dei. I wish I could do more for you." Deiara looks at Hanako.
"Onee-san, you've done plenty. Without you I would still be trying to figure out how this world functions beyond what I learned." Hanako grins a moment. "Hun, I would've never left that to a Geisha outside of this okiya." Deidara tilts his head, "because I'm not a girl?"
Hanako shakes his head, "no, it has nothing to do with you being a boy. Actually you make a very beautiful girl. To tell the truth I was honored to have a chance to be your older sister. You are actually an easy to teach student." Deidara laughs a bit at Hanako's words. He'd never thought that she wanted him to be her younger sister in his whole lifetime.
Hanako looks at Deidara, "I was told that you wee born a gypsy." Deidara nods and then opens the wicker trunk. He shows Hanako the clothing he wore before he was sold. The geisha grins. "It's beautiful." Deidara opens a small satin pouch to reveal what looks like small cymbols. Hanako also runs her fingers down the coined scarf.
Deidara grains lightly as Hankako seems fancinated by the items she's being showed. She realizes that the layers of material worn by a geisha may possibly be torture because of the restriction the clothing created. It was obvious by the way the mix of silk and velvet that Deidara was used to being able to move freely. Folded carefull inside the clothing in a piece of material. Deidara grins, "sometimes it's held, others it's wrapped around you."
Hanako nods at the child's comment. Deidara tilts his head a moment. "If I wasn't a geisha after being brought here what would happen to me?" Hanako sighs and lowers her head. "You'd life out your life as a slave to the okiya. At least by being a Geisha you have a chance to pay the the debt back and then start out for yourself."
Deidara tilts his head, "then how come you haven't left here?" Hanako places an arm around Deidara briefly. The blonde child appears confused for a moment before he decides to hug Hanako.
