It was quite some time before Masao returned to see the other. In fact it had been several long hours of waiting, time just slipping away as the sun made it's journey across the sky. As the sun was setting, and nearing the end of it's trip across the sapphire sky, an attendant went about lighting a few lanterns for the evening. The door before Kiyoshi slid open again and there stood Masao who looked the younger over for a few moments. The room behind him was now lit with a dim orange light that poured it's way through the room. "Come." he called to the other before turning on his heel and leading the way through the building. Masao expected his new puppy to follow. He made his way through several rooms and down some corridors before finally stepping in to a large room made of dark wood. In the far back was a large bed which sat in front of a set of very nicely painted shoji doors. Off to the right and left were mirrors lining the walls with a golden ivy like fringe painted on to them. The center of the floor was a wide open space, matted giving it the idea of a dojo floor. Off to the left of the room was a sitting area and off to the right were a few sets of Shoji changing screens. Masao had gone toward the right set of mirrors and pushed one open to reveal a closest behind the sliding door. He pulled out a green satin yukata and dropped it on the bed. "Get dressed." he called gently before moving towards the door in the far back of the room and pushed them open to reveal the large zen like garden behind the home. off in the distance you could see a small water fall which most likely lead in to a koi pond.
