(mkay so how shall we start it though? What should we be having going on? And what about that guy?)

((just have it like where Miryoku comes into the room with tea and breakfast to wake Toshiko and it's a day after she had a big meeting with some very highly ranked magic weilders. And I will have the guy come later. ))

(mkay)

Miryoku sighed a bit as she brought up breakfast for her and her mistress along with tea of course. She soon got to the room and walked in setting down the tray where they normally sat then shut the door softly before going over to her mistress. "Mistress, I have breakfast and tea time to get up." she said softly and kindly placing her hand softly on her mistress' shoulder and smiling a little more. She had really started to like her mistress though just couldn't find it in herself to say anything to her... yet... she did want to tell her though.

Toshiko mumbled something tiredly as Miryoku told her to get up. Her eyes slowly cracked open as slits and she looked up at her fuzzy looking servant. "What do I have to do today? Isn't it my free day " she asked tiredly. The power in her voice low and husky sounding as she slowly sat up. The past month had been quite busy for the mistress, and she was looking forward to just spending a day relaxing instead of stressing over finishing artwork or taking care of business within the city. "I don't think I've ever been so tired... Well unless Kei drops by..." she said and gave a soft yawn, rubbing her eyes. Her Nigerian had slipped off both shoulders, and revealed her beautiful pale skin at the tops of her breasts. "What's for breakfast Miryoku?" she asked, her hair in a black tussle.

"Well yes but you still need to eat breakfast don't you? And I'm not shocked you're tired, yesterday was a long day... you could always just rest in bed for awhile longer after eating." Miryoku said then smiled and blushed a little sheepishly as she lightly pulled the straps of her mistress' gown up to her shoulders again. "Eggs, toast, and fresh fruit, along with your tea of course." she said softly pretty sure her mistress would be happy about this though still she wasn't sure every now and again. She then softly stroked her mistress' hair and it smoothed out a bit though she couldn't get it all the way since it still needed to be brushed a bit though at least it wasn't so tangled.

Enjoying that she was waking up slowly to Miryoku's tender care the mistress Toshiko slowly slide to the edge of the bed and looked at her awake personal servant. "I am so very blessed to have you Miryoku." she whispered and then stood. The smell of the food had awoke her stomach, and made her mouth water. Sitting on her usual pillow she looked down at her plate and happily began to eat. "Its wonderful as usual. So filling and refreshing." she purred, sleep still heavily ladening her gracefull movements.

"Thank you Mistress." Miryoku smiled before going and sitting on her usual pillow and started eating after her mistress. She then smiled happily at her. "I hope the fruits are to your liking, I picked them out myself since I can tell which are the most ripe and delicious." she said softly before going back to eating and thought a bit on how she would bring it up... maybe after they were done eating while they went to the springs... they normally were not bothered there and it was the second most private place for them to talk.

((I will add later. I am going to be gone for two days and I'm in pain right now. Sorry))

(oh no what's wrong? Why are you in pain? Are you okay?)

Smiling Toshiko smiled and then nodded. "Its all perfect.. Though I think now is time for bathing in the springs." she said and stood slowly, smiling at Miryoku. She then flinched, grabbing her side that had the scare on it, and then took in a deep breath. The pain subsided and she straightened up. "I'm alright." she said slowly and then looked at her servant. "Please pick out something for me to weaar." she said softly.

"Are you sure you're okay? You looked like you were in pain?" Miryoku asked worriedly though then nodded and went to get her mistress' clothes before getting her own out for after they got out of the springs.

(sorry wasn't sure exactly what to put XP )

Toshiko smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'm fine, my scar was just bothering me again." she said softly and then kissed Miryoku's cheek. Smiling softly, she then walked in her robe to the springs and looked to her servant. When she was inside she then motiong for her servant to assist her in undressing and then smiled gently at her. Her long black hair had fallen into waves,a nd her dark eyes glowed softly.

"I wish that it didn't bother you so Mistress but I would have to say no matter what you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen... and your scars only make you look that much stronger." Miryoku complemented softly as she fallowed her mistress then assisted her in getting undressed before getting undressed herself and opening the door for her to enter the springs. She was quite accustomed to most everything around the mansion now and how things worked and she was always happy to spend time with her mistress. She found, however, when she was not running arrends or helping her mistress that she was studying and practicing her magic... quite a few times in fact she had fallen asleep though woke in her mistress' arms in bed... she still wondered about that every now and again.

Toshiko was surprised by the care filled words spoken by Miryoku as she was helped getting undressed. "Thank you Miryoku... Those words warm my heart." she said and brushed her servant's soft cheek with her hand before stepping out into the bathing area. Walking into the water the mistress sighed heavily and leaned back against the wall. This was a much needed relaxing soak. The week had been busy, and finally with a day to herself and Miryoku, things would hopefully help her unwind. "Your magic has greatly improved Miryoku, I am very proud of you." she said before running a hand threw her extremely long and ever dark black hair.

"And they are all true." Miryoku said softly then felt a bit more blush come onto her cheeks as she felt her mistress' soft hand brush against one of her cheeks. She then waked in after her mistress and slipped into the nice hot water listening lightly to her mistress. "Thank you though it's all thanks to your help." she said softly before dipping her head under the water a bit to get it soaked then just leaned back again relaxing more. She thought quietly on what she wanted to ask though still was unsure... she wouldn't know what her reply would be without asking though. "Mistress... if I may... may I ask what you think of me?" she asked softly as she looked at her mistress with soft curious eyes and still a slight blush on her cheeks hoping for the best in the other woman's answer.

Toshiko looked at Miryoku as she asked her the very personal question. "I think... That you are one of the most beautiful... Strong.... Smart, women I have ever had the honor of knowing. You are very precious to me my dear Miryoku, without you in my life, things wouldn't be as smooth as they are now." she said softly, looking into her servant's eyes with every bit of seriousness in her eyes.

"Really?" Miryoku squeaked a bit meekly with a bright blush as she looked at her mistress clearly surprised though happy at the same time and gave a smile to her mistress. She didn't know what to think.... she was stunned really... her mistress seemed to feel close to the same as her... but... if she was precious to her then did that mean that she liked her? She wasn't sure but she thought that's what that meant... she hoped.

"Yes really, I always speak the truth Miryoku. You know that." the mistress said soflty and then sighed happily. She was so very relaxed in the warm water. It brought her happiness to know that she didn't have to worry about anything buisiness related for awail, which was relaxing to say the least. She just prayed that Kei wouldn't come and try to spoil the day for her, oh then she would really really truely kill him. She was not to be disturbed today.

Miryoku smiled brightly and almost felt like hugging Toshiko though knew that would be a little odd right now since they were in the bath. So instead she just relaxed in the nice hot water and sunk a little further in to about her nose just seeming to be completely relaxed right now. As she did this though she could sense something off in the house and huffed a bit making bubbles in the water without meaning to. She didn't want to think of what was off... she was pretty sure she knew but she really didn't want to be proven correct... this was their day off... a day to themselves for relaxation and she really didn't want to think that it would be ruined by a man of all things.

Toshiko look at Miryoku with soft eyes and then patted her head lightly. Her servant's wet hair looked like deep polished gold. She felt an uneasiness inside her heart. For some years she had started to feel a loneiness inside her chest that made it squeeze when ever she saw people together and happy. Miryoku had filled that gap a bit, but now she felt the whole growing again. She didn't know what she was hoping for Miryoku to say, but she had been waiting for her to say something.... Special.

Miryoku looked up at her mistress with her big bright blue eyes as she felt her pat her head and looked into her mistress' dark blue eyes feeling as though she wanted her to say something... but what? She could think of one thing she wanted to say but at the same time she didn't want to say it... she didn't know what her mistress would think. As she thought she sat up a little bit then decided on something and hoped that it wouldn't be too odd. She soon found herself hugging her mistress a bit lightly and rather quickly before blushing a bit. Toshiko... I really like you..." she said very quietly with a bright blush looking down a bit unsure of what her mistress would think or say about that... she didn't want to say the other word... she hadn't really been there and with her mistress long enough so say 'love' but that was closer to the feeling she had for her mistress then 'like' was.

Toshiko's deep eyes met Miryoku's blue ones. Her pretty servant seemed to be contemplating something, and gasped as she was suddenly without warning, hugged. Unsure for a moment she just gauked at her servant but then blushed deeply and smiled slowly. The words were so flustered and adorable, the mistress couldn't help but huh her back. "I really like you as well Miryoku." she said softly and then kissed her servant's forehead. "You somehow always surprise me." she added lightly and smiled a bit wider at her blonde girl in her arms.

Miryoku blushed harder as she heard her mistress and felt herself being held. She looked up at her meekly and almost looked like a child with how she was blushing and acting so meek and unsure. She wasn't one to be like this really... not so embarrassed and meek like she was being right now. Sure originally she was so easy to get to blush but now that she had been there for awhile it wasn't as easy... but this was something she had never felt before and she had never been close to another person like this ever before... she wasn't exactly sure how to react really.

Toshiko smiled seeing that beautiful blush on her servant's cheeks. She smiled gently but then detected magic... His magic. "Stay here Miryoku. I need to get out for a second." she said firmly and let go of her precious little flower. She then dissappeared into the building. There were a few crashes and suddenly Kei was thrown out of the door and onto the hard cement. Toshiko thengrowled and went to hit him again but he grabbed her and flipped them so be was pinning her against the cement. "I will kill you today Kei!" she snarled and the red haired male chuckled. "Sure you will Toshiko. There's no one here that can help you, that little servant is nothing." he said and she hissed and his rune magic shot out and pinned her arms to the cement ground, and his legs pinned her own. He smirked at her struggles and the groped her bare chest making her loose focus on her counter spell and cry out in shock. "Don't touch me you demon!" she snarled, only making the male grin wider.

(wait where were they? Bath house or out front of the house? you confused me a bit XP )
