High on life

Manda

He sighed and left her be, He had seen her handle a similar situation, so he knew she is safe. He then went into the kitchen and began cooking breakfast, making a little bit more for Megami.

After he had set the table Megami had walked in the kitchen sleepily. "Morning." Sure, he was little ruff around the edges in the morning. But who wasn't.

"Mhm. Thank you for letting me stay." He just nodded his head and motioned for her to sit down. While they were eating, he noticed she looked cleaner. And was in a different pair of cloths. "Did you take a bath this morning?" she nods her head yes. "I saw the bag in the spare room. I also knew where the guest bathroom was.

He was going to ask her how she knew where it was but them remembered she likes to Rome his estate in search for him.

When they finished eating, she had insisted on washing the dishes. Which he allowed after arguing over it but lost the fight in the end.

Today he had plans. He wanted to go and get some of his clothes re-tailored, some new hakama pants, kimonos, and a few new haorie's made. But he had company. Un wanted, but company non the less.

When she came back in the room, she looked like she was off and not in the room. "Gaki. Do you have anything you need to do today?" she mindlessly shook her head no. "Then we are going to a tailor today. Mrs. Inaki's shop.

When she thought about it, it was the shop that her parents shop at. She hopes she does not run into them. "Ok."

"Wait here then. Ill be back in a second. Open the back shoji doors." When he left to get ready, she sat there for a second. The last two really took a toll on her. She was repressed in on herself.

Her mind was reserved, and she was going off solely on muscle reflex.

With that she slowly got up and moved to the back shoji doors. When she fully opened them, she sat in the center of the doorway and looked out back. She then noticed that it was oddly warm on the property being that it was wintertime.

It must be a barrier put up around the house.

She the zoned out again, pulling her knees up to her chest and holding them. She laid her head on her knees and watched the snakes bask in the morning sun trying to stay warm.

15 minuets had passed.

When he walked back in, he noticed she was still quiet. What the hell did they do for her to shut herself off like that. "Gaki. Let's go."

Just as she was about to walk past him without grabbing her coat from his hand, he grabbed her by the shoulders and handed it to her. She slowly put it on, then she put on her shoes.

After he put on his shoes and coat, they left.

Unconsciously she had reached out and held onto his pants leg. When he felt it he had looked down too tell her to let go, but when he saw how she had a dazed off look and was not paying attention he let her be.

Mrs. Inaki was an old woman. But she got around good for her age. Her husband was a shinobi till he died in the 1st shinobi war.

Then she started her shop. Lots of people like what she does but boy is the lady pricy. A hard bargain driver and if you upset her, she can be the sourest plum a person knows.

Rin actually managed to upset the sweet old lady by knocking over several manikins showing off expensive haori's, while she was throwing a tantrum because she wanted a bright pink kimono with a even brighter pink flower design.
