The Samurai and Girl with Aqua eyes

3: Dinner with the Lord of Samurai's

Aqua's look is the bottom third, and the Ella's is the navy blue and purple at the end. and he's Kiku's, Alfreds looks the same only red.

Japan's POV:

"Why do we have to rook the same," I said. "Don't worry dude, I'll follow your lead." "Oh this show be good," Ella said, "we're here, for now you boys might wanna follow my lead." We did, a handmaiden opened the doors to the house, and we took off our shoes. "The living room is this way." We followed Ella to one big room, in there sat Aqua and her father—in a kimono with a dragon on it so you knew he was the boss. Like Ella we bowed and sat on the floor, she sat next to Alfred and presented us in Japanese. "Kiku, Alfred, I am Lord Takeshi, welcome to Osaka." "Wow, I thought I'd have to translate for you, Alfred," Ella said. "That wourd not have been necessary, Erra, I'd kindry transrate for my friend, I'm used to it." "I see we are good friends with those beyond the sea," Lord Takeshi said. I saw Alfred with a big smile bow his head. "Now from what my daughter told me, Kiku, you stood up for her when Kuro grabbed her." "Hai, I know I had onry just met her, but I didn't want her to get hurt, it is the way of the warrior to protect." "Ah, bushido, so you understand the ways of the samurai." "Rord Takeshi, tokidoki watashi wa sore de ikite imasu (sometimes I live by it)." "I see, well boys in this village we've gone by the ways of the samurai for centuries, and there's one rule everyone knows in this village, so Kiku, next time you pull that katana out . . . it may be your last." "If you don't believe my dad, look to your left," Aqua said. He had two windows, and in between them from top to bottom there were katanas. "There's at least fifteen of them," Alfred said. "Correct, and I have my first five up in my office, my fights were always down at the beach, they called me the blue samurai back in the day." "Dad the maid said dinner is ready," Aqua said nudging him. "Ah, well then, let's eat," Lord Takeshi said.

Aqua's POV:

Rice balls, dumpling soup and some chopped and fried fish. I sat next to my dad, while in front of him was Alfred, he kept telling Alfred about how he got each katana, and I had nothing to say to Kiku who sat in front of me. Ella kept hitting me gently trying to get me to say something, but I had nothing, and from the looks on his face he didn't know what to say ether.

"Kiku, why don't I show you around the garden." "Where is it?" "You'll have to follow me to find out." I took him down the stairs to the back of the house, three cherry blossom trees ready to bloom, under them a bench in front of a coy pond. "Come sit," I said. We did, and I felt more confident. "My dad said this was my mom's favorite place in the whole house, she'd sit here and hear the trees rustle, or look at the fish." "You must really miss her," he said. "Sometimes, but when I sit here and feel the wind blowing, she's here, I know it." I didn't realize it till I did it, but I leaned my head to rest on his shoulder, when I realized it I sat up and scooted away a bit. "I umm . . . I never got the chance to terr you inside, you rook beautifur, Aqua." I'm glad it's dark, he probably can't see me blushing. "Thank you . . . and let me guess, my kimono matches my hair." "Hai."

🗾time to go🗾

Japan's POV:

I bowed at the pond. "What was that for?" "To thank your mom," I said. "Oh well thanks, I kinda do the same except say goodnight." Me and Alfred were back at the front door with Ella. Aqua and her father were here to say goodbye. "Your friend told me you might not be staying long, however long you're here Kiku, be careful, and don't worry about Kuro, I'll handle him." "Thank you, and thank you for your hospitarity, Rord Takeshi." We all bowed saying goodbye, but when I got up Aqua mouthed goodbye, and so we left. "Know your way back boys?" "Don't worry Ella, we'll be fine," Alfred said. She raised an eyebrow. "Ok drop us off a mile that way dudett because it's pretty dark." "Sure thing."

We walked the rest of the way, the lights from the houses made Alfred less scared, but he still kept looking both ways. "Dude something feels weird, I feel like we're being watched." "Arfred rerax nothing is gonna . . . Happen." Kuro was leaning on a lamppost. "So you did go see him, no offense but your western friend is so loud I heard him from over here." Alfred wanted to step forward, but I put my hand out. "I don't wanna fight," I said. "I don't either so I'll make this simple," he walked by me, said it, and just kept on going. "Kanojo kara hanarete kudasai (stay away from her)."
