A Moment of Peace
Every once in awhile Keiji enjoyed going out in civilian garb and take in the local sights. At the moment he was sitting in his favorite tea shop. It wouldn't be long now. The Wolverine's son would arrive soon, and the cycle would finally end. Keiji wanted to take the time to enjoy the few pleasures he found in his life, the shop's exquisite tea being one of them. He would die or the Wolverine would die, either way it'd finally be over. He often thought about what kind of life he could have had if he were not bound by the oaths made before his very birth. Then he would berate himself that if not for those oaths he would not even exist. Perhaps that would have been better? Keiji shook his head, such thoughts never ceased. He decided, for at least the moment, not to think about it as he took another sip from his tea.

In order to maintain a proper tea for her friends and colleagues, Kikuya took it upon herself to always personally select the tea that was kept on hand. She also included Hajime's tea needs on her weekly list so, as she did every week, Kikuya showed up at Lin's Teahouse clad fully in traditional geisha garb to make her purchases.

She was a sharp contrast to the other patrons of the shop.

Keiji had been on his way for a refill when the woman entered. He certainly never expected the Super Geisha to come for tea at this particular shop. He knew Kobayashi must have told her teammates what he looked like. Still, he was in modern garb, hair cut shorter then back then, she'd likely wouldn't recognize him. He was here to enjoy one of his few pleasures in life, he could take a risk. An image of the attractive Amiko flitted through his mind, before he angrily cast it aside. He had enough problems without acting like a boy with a crush.

He walked up the counter and asked for his refill.
"Good day, Geisha-san." He said with a bow of respect to Kikuya.

	While she is a very public figure it is still odd for someone to openly recognize her--save for schoolgirls who seemed to love to ask her questions, especially about Grogg--so when this man greets her and with respect, she favors him with a smile and also bows to respect his respect. "Good day. Is it treating you well?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, it is, thank you. This day has been more pleasant than most lately, so I am grateful for it." Keiji caught sight of her tea list. "Lin's has excelleent tea, though it is a small shop. I admit I was surprised when I saw you here, Geisha-san." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiles. "I come here every week with my list. I think it is very important to support my local tea shop as well as to be certain my colleagues have proper tea. We live in a world of too much convenience. I do not wish certain conventions to be lost." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji understood that well enough. For those few who knew his mother, they said she had an old-fashioned view in regards to the modern world. To an extent, Keiji had inherited that trait. "Agreed. I dread the day that if one wants tea, they go through a drive-thru." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I believe that drive-thrus will be the undoing of mankind. In a broad sense, not specific," she said with a hint of a smile. "What is your name?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji actually laughed at that. The sound sounded almost foreign to his ears. Keiji didn't like lying, but this was one of those situations where it couldn't be helped. "You honor me. It is Sasuke, Geisha-san." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	supergeisha 2011-06-12 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	"It is a pleasure to meet you, Sasuke-san." Now, Kikuya could tell a lie a mile away and this was just not ringing true, but she said nothing. This was a social situation, not one where she needed to be perfectly on guard. Even if she did have blades hidden in the folds of her kimono. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I imagine it must be an exciting life, being one of the Big Hero Six." The hormonal part of his brain wants to ask her if Amiko received his gift and what her reaction was. He manages to to keep that inane thought at bay. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kikuya smiles.

"It isn't that exciting most of the time, Sasuke-san. A great deal of what I do is simply to be a person of honor and representation for the Japanese people. A symbol, if you will. Sometimes it is more important to simply be there than it is to engage in exciting adventures."

There is something about the man's voice that intrigues. He is thinking about something, she can tell.

	"I can understand that. Honor is an important thing." The reminded of honor reminds him of what he must do, significantly lessening his curiosity about Amiko's reaction to his gift. Lessened, but not gone. He notices the ingredients for Hajime's tea that she is purchasing. "Forgive me, I do not mean to pry, but what kind of tea were you planning to make?"

	"Oh, it is a special blend of Sencha and Bancha. I have a very special friend who favors this blend." She smiled. "You should try it. It provides both energy and the pleasure of tea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It sounds intriguing. I just may have to try it someday." Keiji looks at his watch. He needs to be at the airport. "Forgive my abrupt exit, Geisha-san, but I must get to my job immediately." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I understand," she says with a courteous bow. "Have a good day and thank you for your company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2011-06-16 11:24 am UTC (link)
	Keiji returns the bow. "The honor was mine, Geisha-san." After his farewell bow, Keiji leaves the teashop to contemplate a more unpleasant chore. (Reply to this)(Parent)
