"His name is..... Akihiro! Oh my god, I think I'm in love," Namie shouted as Kiko splashed her back with burning water.
Kiko and Namie were in the bath house outside of the courtyard. Snow was falling from the sky. You could see it if you opened the sliding doors.
Kiko shook her head and gave her a daring look, " Everybody knows him, he is the richest man in the modern world."
Namie's eyes fixated on Kiko's and she hollered "What was that look for?"
Kiko shook her head and continued to wash Namie's arms. "Geisha are not aloud to love. Sorry." She said.
"I'm cold!" Namie yelled as she stared at Kiko with tears building up in her eyes.
" I can't see a crying child right now. Just go!" Kiko yelled as she filled up a bucket of hot water.
Namie ran to her room, towel wrapped around her.
About an hour later Namie sat at the dinner table eating her rice and hoping that she would never lay eyes on Kiko again and lay eyes on Akihiro for the rest of her life.
Not for another four months did she see him.
