Miryoku slowly got into the water still a bit unsure though then relaxed at the nice hot water that her body calmed to a bit reluctantly. She then looked up whens he heard the maid and looked at her new mistress though frowned some when the maid left. "What do you mean get me 'up to date'?" she asked curiously though seemed pleased by the idea of getting magical training and really did want to better with her magic and would be more then happy if her mistress could teach her that.

Toshiko met Miryoku's eyes unblinking as the youth voiced her question. It made the mistress happy that slowly, very slowly, but surely, the blonde was begining to speak more. "You are not just a regular slave, you are my personal slave." she began slowly and then reached out and took a strawberry in-between her finger tips. "You need to learn my tendencies, my likes, dislikes. Food preferences." she added, going into a bit more detail. She then bit into the ripe fruit and closed he'd eyes, deeply enjoying the taste. After swallowing she returned to speaking, a bit louder, but the powerful undertone never changed. "Expecially, how to make my tea. That is a big standard of mine." she said seriously, finishing off the berry. "Think of it as a puzzle. The more you learn how things fit together here, and work, the more you will excelle and achieve your foal of more magical power and knowledge." she said and took another strawberry. Then the wind gently blew the tray magically over to Miryoku and stopped infront of her. "Have some. They were freshly picked from the gardens this morning. Nothing like fresh fruit to make you feel refreshed." the raven haired mistress added and closed her eyes slowly once more, slowly chewing her bite of berry, relishing the taste.

"Oh... you make your own fresh tea here? I love making tea... and working in the guarden... though the whole forest was pretty much my garden..." Miryoku said softly and for once actually smiled a bit at the end as she spoke of her garden and it was clear to see that next to magic that is one thing that she loved. She then looked at the fruits and took one of the strawberries slowly eating it and seeming to love the taste... though right now she would really love any food since she hadn't eaten in a few days... since she had been in that slave market at least...

(so what are you think of the rp so far? And how are you?)

Keeping her eyes closed Toshiko listened to Miryoku before slowly opening her eyes once again as she spoke of her old home. "It's sounds like a wonderful place I'm sure." she replied gently before sighing softly. She then grabbed a wash cloth and soap and began working her body, making it nice and clean. She then looked up at the beautiful afternoon sky before rising from the water slowly. "Shall we finish washing up and get something to eat then?" she offered lightly, and held out the washing utensils in her pale hand to the blonde. Her raven black hair was plastered to her side, and traveled down her body to her butt, it was sometime the mistress took much pride in.

((yes I like it so far, it's very good. I can't wait for Miryoku to start learning to be a servant, Toshiko is going to have fun picking out her work wear, and getting to know Miryoku. Though she could never admit it. ^_^ ))

(lol X3 )

Miryoku listened to her mistress as she just rested in the nice hot water and seemed to be enjoying it greatly. She then looked up a bit and was surprised to see her mistress standing and her face turned blood red before she took the items she was handed and washed up before standing a bit still rather embarrassed and couldn't help but be quiet now... she didn't know what to say... she was a bit in shock.

Toshiko nearly laughed as she looked back to Miryoku who was bright red in the face. Such a cute little girl. "Come on, our clothes are inside." she said and walked back into the building. Seeing her wondeful silken kimono, she pulled on her under garments, then her see threw white under dress, and then pulled on the traditional kimono. Out was a beautiful red with golden thread dragons, and the middle ribbon was black. She then began to braid her hair with swift nimble fingers.

Miryoku blushed a little more before standing and fallowing her mistress after she had finished washing. She looked around to see another kimono that looked to be the perfect size for the girl and was shocked... the measurements on such clothes had to be very precise... how did they get the right sizes for her when they hadn't even measured her? She brushed it off a bit as she slipped on some undergarments then the black kimono that had red petals on it with a red ribbon, red at the bottoms of the sleeves and any outlines, and a black ribbon through the center of the large red one. Her hair actually went to about the middle of her back and was silky and smooth as she dried it a bit and ran her fingers softly through it which almost seemed to straighten out and dry her hair even more without her using a towel or a hair drier... this was actually one of the few things she could do without even really focusing on it... she had learned how to use heat to dry and warm things up and how to straighten things out without even touching them... though she preferred to run her fingers through her hair just to make sure that it was straight and dry. As she did this a ribbon seemed to come out of no where and she tied her hair up without even really touching it... she knew a few little tricks and spells that she didn't need to focus on to do... in fact allot of the time she didn't even realize she was using any magic at all to do the things she did like drying things off, straightening things up, and putting her hair up... she just did it out of habit. She then looked at her mistress waiting for her to lead the way to the dining room not even seeming to realize the magic that she had just done herself.

Toshiko knew that the magic clothes that had been formed fit well as Miryoku got dressed. Though as she finished taking care of herself, she watched her new servant intently, as magic aided her in getting ready. Her dark eyes followed every movement of magic and physical body movement as well. This was something she had been waiting to see. The ease at which the blonde female preformed the straightening, drying, and summoning posed much promise for the soon to be teacher of her soon to be student. "Follow me Miryoku, we will take the short cut." she announced as she stood. Walking out the door she slipped into he sandals once more and walked off the stone path and threw some trees and flowers, a tiny path barely able to be seen by the naked eye. She walked gracefully, and once approaching the door it was opened by some maids. They bowed as Toshiko walked threw the doorway and she took a seat at the table. Though she frowned as her gaze turned to a male standing in the room. "Miryoku, sit on my right." she commanded, her voice turning cold as the handsome red headed male bowed his head to her with a cool smile and sat on her left.

Miryoku noticed slightly that she was being watched though didn't know why and didn't realize that she had just used magic... it was something that she was so used to she didn't even notice anymore. She slipped on her own pair of sandals and fallowed her mistress through the garden and to the dining room noting the male in the room. She didn't like men and she could tell her mistress didn't either... then why was he here? She sat at the right of Toshiko and stared at the male a bit curiously and a bit... slightly irritated, she couldn't help it... she just didn't like guys at all. She at least knew that it wasn't polite or right for her to ask questions or speak... well she didn't normally like to anyway so it wasn't really that she had to be told not to.

Toshiko nodded to her maids as the male on her left sat, and they served the food to all three of them. If it had been her choice, she would have kicked him out in a heartbeat. Once the food was served, the mistress moved to grab her chop sticks but the male snagged her hand and kissed her finger tips, before kissing her knuckles. "You grow more beautiful each day Toshiko.... As does your staff I see." he said lightly, a jest. "Toru perished because you brought us into danger! You selfish man!" Toshiko shaped angrily smacking his hand away from her's. "She was merely human, what did you expect from me? We were in our people's wood, you should have left her home." Kei countered and Toshiko's lips formed a thin line. As he went to take a drink the tea froze and fell from the cup onto his hot food. Turning his bright green eyes to Toshiko's he grinned and chuckled. "It's cute when you use petty magics to try and piss me off... You can't drive me away Toshiko." he said and she growled as he touched her hair. "Just because father commands for our union, doesn't mean I'm going to oblige with them. I no longer live in your world. I am a woman of my own making. No one owns me." she growled and he just chuckled and continued to eat, Toshiko moving to do the same. Her anger and agitation was obvious.

Miryoku couldn't help but narrow her eyes at the male and feel as though she were about to growl though held it back and started to eat after her mistress had started eating. She was trying her best to keep her anger in check for when she did get angry things tended to happen out of her control... she had some stronger magical abilities that she wasn't fully aware of nor did she know how to control... one of the reasons she had lived alone with only her pupal living with her.

All threw out the meal the male made comments about Toshiko, and the mistress did her very best not to explode upon him. Finding that they were finally done with the meal she stood and he walked towards the door. He then suddenly pulled her into a rough kiss and received a burning hand to the face. The scorch mark made him frown and grab her wrist. "I've waited the years you requested Toshiko. Once it comes to that day, you will be mine, and I will teach you how to obey orders and the superior power weilder." he snapped and suddenly both of them moved in a blur of motion, before there was a crash and Toshiko laid on the floor, the vase they had run into crashed all around her on the flood. The male then dissappeared in a blast of smoke, but Toshiko didn't move.

Miryoku was a bit angered also by the male though kept that to herself and kept quiet through the meal knowing her mouth would probably be her down fall if she opened it. She then felt a slight growl come to her lips as she watched the male though soon found herself standing quickly when she saw her mistress hit the ground and not move. "Mistress! Wake up are you okay?" she found herself saying without thinking and realized at that point that she had accepted her place though then just brushed it off as she knelt down beside her mistress and the vase reformed and sat stirdily on it's stand before Miryoku started to look to see if there were any wounds at all.

Toshiko slowly stirred as she heard Miryoku's worried voice, and slowly sat herself up. Blinking slowly she then looked down at the raged in her hands and a smirk cane across her lips. He may have made her black out for a second, but she had drawn blood. "I hate men." she hissed softly and the dagger dissappeared in a whisp of smoke. She then slowly moved to stand and was a little off balance. "I'm sorry I worried you Miryoku... I wasn't worried about my own safety... And I should have been at least causious with it when he's around." she said softly and then other maids seemed to be releaved seeing their mistress unscaved. "I do think I wish to lay down though." she finally announced, after getting to her feet successfully. "I will show the way mistress.... I'd you don't need assistance." a maid said stepping forward. Nodding in acceptance Toshiko gave a slight smile that merely rugged at the cornor of her lips. "Please do."

Miryoku was about to ask who that male was though was stopped by another servant and decided it was best to leave it be for now. As she listened to the girl and her mistress she wondered what she should do... she didn't know where she was supposed to go or do or anything... she wasn't sure if she should fallow or stay there... hopefully either her mistress or one of the other servants would tell her what to do though... she hoped.

The maid faithfully lead the mistress and Toshiko nodded and gently pulled on the blonde's hand to signal for her to come along. It was the first physical gesture she had given the new servant, and she then turned her unwavering gaze to her room door. Walking inside she moved to sit on the bed and slowly unraveled her braid in her hair. "Mistress should sleep... You'll need to help her dress... The nightgowns are on the left side of the closet, and I would help you, but mistress's most strict rule is that only her personal maid can see her nude or help her dress... No one else is allowed." she said and then Toshiko's voice came from inside the room. "Miryoku... You don't have to wait outside... This is your room as well." her voice said, the power carrying the message's to the servants' ears. "Good luck." the maid said, bowed and left.

Miryoku nodded and willingly fallowed her mistress then listened and couldn't help but blush a bit before nodding some. She wasn't sure exactly how she was supposed to help... she really didn't understand that though she assumed it meant getting out her mistress' clothes... though still she wasn't exactly sure on what to do so she was a bit skittish now.

(sorry it's short I wasn't really sure what to put XP )

Toshiko watched how Moryoku was acting and then looked out the window. She should have killed him the moment she had seen him.... her new servant wouldn't be so skiddish then. But ever she wouldn't admit that he contained some slight advantage over her, which caused her sudden energy loss. "I am deeply sorry Kei shook you up... He won't touch you... He's only after one person¥ she said slowly and turned her gaze to Miryoku, doing her best to stay sitting up and not look tired.

"It's okay... though... who was he anyway? If you don't mind me asking that is? And.... really.... I'm just... I'm not sure what to do..." Miryoku said softly hoping that her mistress didn't mind her asking about the male or for the fact not knowing really what to do since she really wasn't sure and that was really the only reason why she was skittish... if she had known what she should do then she really wouldn't be skittish... as much anyway.

Toshiko nodded and then sighed, "Its alright to ask questions." she breathed adn then shook her head. "His name is Kei, and he is one of my almost extinct race... And my father wishes for me to mate with him to restart our race and save it from extinction." she said, though her voice wasn't very pleasent. The very thought seemed to make her angry to the core. "Kei is a playful being, and too reckless for anyone's good. He is a man who when he wants something he will stop at nothing to have it." she said and then nodded. "So as you have seen, it is me that he wishes for. He wishes to make me submit to him, for I have never done such a thing as lowered my gaze to anyone in my life time." she stated, the last part full of pride. "and I don't ever plan to either, even if that is the death of me." she growled and let her hair fall down her body lazily. "Men think they are so high up on the food chain, and that everything they look at and fancy is there, I exsist to proove them wrong."

Miryoku got a bit of a disgusted look on her face when she heard her mistress and couldn't believe that her father would try and make her do something like that. "Men are filth... I think they only exist to flatter themselves.... and to try and bother women... I would never lower myself to a man." she said and it seemed they both had that in common at least. "Um... I'm sorry mistress.... I'm not really sure... what to do...." she blushed some after her anger towards the male had cooled and her mind had settled back on the task at hand.

"I agree strongly." Toshiko nodded, seeming that she and her new servant held something in common. "Please assist me with getting in proper nightwear." she said smoothly and motioned to the closet, knowing magically that the maid had talked to her blonde servant. It was an interesting and fate filled day, things would be ingraved in the raven haired woman's mind forever, and new thoughts were brought to her mind as well. Such was the way of the magical mistress.

Miryoku nodded a bit as she went to get her mistress a night gown before going to help her get ready for bed... really since she had never really been around anyone at night it felt kinda odd to be helping her mistress now though she did her best even through the bit of embarrassment.

(sorry wasn't really sure what to put XP hope that's okay)

When Miryoku came to Toshiko's side with her nightgown in hand the mistress gave a very small smile. With Miryoku's help she untied the ribbon around her waist and then stood slowly. Holding out her arms she looked at the servant. "Please pull my garments off of me, and then assist me with getting dressed." she instructed. When Miryoku slowly began pulling off her clothes and got down to just the underwear, Toshiko's scar was revealed. It traveled down her side, and across her lower back. It looked terrible, and considering all the power the mistress held, it was amazing she didn't just get rid of the horrfying scar.

Miryoku was terribly embarrassed right now though she focused on what she was doing... until she saw the long horrible looking scar that is. She stared at it and covered her mouth a bit in shock. "Oh my gosh... what happened? If you don't mind me asking that is... are you okay?" she asked softly and was just shocked at the scar and to her it really didn't look that old... though for all she knew it could have been from years before... she hadn't really gotten too many scars from anything so she wasn't sure.

(so how are you liking the rp so far?)
