With in The walls of a Palace (Passionate Shadow Only)

[Kaido]

Kiyoshi watch as Jun left with the little clothes he had left. At least he wouldn't freeze with the warm sunlight hitting on his bare skin. He looks at the Fundoshi in his hand. Wondering what he should do now. It took him a moment before he decided what to do. He sat down on the ground on his knees. Setting his Fundoshi to the side. Waiting for his master's return to give him his next order.

[Passionate Shadow]

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.

[Kaido]

As the time moved on, he did moved in inch. No matter how tired his legs got. He just waited for his master to return. If he ever does. He still couldn't quite make out what kind of person he was other then perverted. He heard the shoji door open and looks up to see that Masao has returned as the sun was setting. It made his skin glow in the light. He looks up at him with serious eyes. Awaiting his orders. When to to follow him. He stands up quietly and walks right behind him. Keeping his head low and his hands by his side. Until they arrived into the room. He lifts his head up and looks at the room. He was quite impressed with it. But he wasn't to surprise for this palace was bigger then ones he had seen before. He looked at everything from the bed to the door the garden.

Kiyoshi heard his lord's voice and looks down at the yukata that was placed on the bed. "Yes, my lord." he said in a calm manner voice. Walking over to the bed and puts it on. It took him a few minutes to put it on, but once he did. he looked very nice in it. Thinking that this is what the servants must wear to work. After tying the sash around his waist. He makes his way to the door to the garden and steps outside. Looking for his master to see if he was please with him wearing the yukata.

[Passionate Shadow]

Masao had taken a seat on the wooden dock just out side of the doors. He turned and looked upwards at the younger for a few moments. "You may call me by my name." he said gently. Masao was dressed in a blackened Gi top and vivid crimson red hakamas. He moved to stand up and gently reache dout a hand and pushed some stray lock back from Kiyoshi's face, his fingers barely ghosting over the skin. Masao have him a some what malitious smirk. he set his hand on Kiyoshi's shoulder and gently spun him around before setting his other hand on teh small of Kiyoshi's back. He nudged him back in to the room and sort of ushered him over to the sitting area. "Take a seat; we'll be having dinner shortly..." he purred softly in to Kiyoshi's ear before releasing him.

"So why don't you start telling me about what you were." he offered up more of a demand than a request but made with a gentle voice. Masao had moved around and took a seat at the table. "I should also like to know your age." he added in. It seemed he had taking a sudden interest in the younger.

[Kaido]

"Yes, Masao-sama." he replied to his master. Slightly bowing to him. Watching get up from where he sit and can't believe how tall he was. For Kiyoshi was tall as your average young Japanese man. He looked up at him as he reaches out to him to move some of his hair out of his face, lightly blushing. For he will never admit it, but he was very sensitive when it came to touch. Even though he never made contact with his skin. He felt his own hair brush against the side of his face. Then he stares at his hand that laid upon his shoulder. Taking a sharp breath through his mouth. When he was spun around and now felt his hand on his back. Stepping back inside wondering what he had in store for him. Kiyoshi could feel his breath on his bare neck, making his face slightly more red then before. When order to take a seat. He nodded his head and did as his master order.

While he listen to him ask to tell him more about him and age. He nods his head as to say that he will. "Well to start with I am 18 of age. As you know I was the heir to the Endo clan. My father had always kept me indoors. For he didn't want me to be seen by the others. Fearing that my life would be in danger. I study since I was little so I can write and read. That's all really." he told him.

[Passionate Shadow]

Masao nodded gently in reliance. "Oh I see... you lack physical discipline then... you wouldn't beable to protect yourself now would you? With such a sweet supple body like that my guards might mistake you for a woman and rape you... " he said gently. "I'll most definably need to teach you how to defend yourself my little cage dove." he purred.

"I'd like for you to be obedient but not to the point where your a mindless drone." he added. "Sit there and don't move a muscle." He said before standing and heading out of the room. He was going to fetch dinner.

[Kaido]

It is true as to what Masao said. He did lack physical discipline. His father was far to concern of someone without blood taking over as head of the clan then anything. He had some friends as a child and played with them. But he couldn't stay out for to long. It was mostly study and stand by his father side. Like an object. Another thing he pointed out was most people did mistook him as a female. With his slim body and long silky hair. Many would come up to him and try to flirt with him. Until he told them that he was in fact a male. Hearing that his lord was going to teach him how to defend himself, that sounded nice. But what got to him was being called a dove. Thinking that calling someone that was saved for flattering with women.

Kiyoshi watched Lord Masao leave the room to get dinner. He sat there quiet until he heard a noise coming from outside in the garden. He was a curious lad and got up. Wondering what had made the noise. He walked over and by the door was a little kitten. He smiled and kneel down. "Are from here little one?" he asked in a gentle voice. Getting a mew from the cat. He lightly chuckled and sat down. With the kitten on his lap. Thinking he had some time before his lord came back.

[Passionate Shadow]

Just as Kiyoshi stepped out side, another strange noise came, this one was like the patter of drums. The sound of running foot steps~! A small child rounded the corner and darted toward's Kiyoshi at full speed. the little blur had flaming orange hair. He darted right past Kiyoshi and down in to the gardens. He was followed by two slightly older children with much more Asian like features, both with dark raven long hair , yet both with startling green eyes.

"Your not getting away so easily~!!! The tallest shouted and started after whilst the medium heighted boy took notice of Kiyoshi and slid to a halt on the deck. He eyed him over gently with a strange look. "W-who are you!?" he asked quickly. The boy wa sin pretty wron frayed clothing, dirty and filthy like a boy who had been out side playing in the woods all day. He had a few cuts and scraps on his knees hands, elbows, and face.

[Kaido]

He was relaxing peacefully with the kitten curled up in his lap, purring. Until the cat stood up and leaped off of his lap. Running quickly to a nearby bush. He blinked a couple of times, wondering what got into the cat. Until he heard the sound of footsteps coming closer. His first thought were that it was Masao returning. As he listen closely he notice that it was more then one. "It sounds like three but who would be-" his thoughts were cut off as the three children were approaching. Kiyoshi stood up and got out of the way before they had a chance of bumping into him.

The lad was quite shock to see kids here. For as long as he known. There was never any info as to Masao having a wife, let alone children. When the boy asked who he was. He blinked a couple of times. "I could ask you the same thing." he said. Then he saw hot dirty he was and the cuts. He walked up to him and kneel to his level. "Are you alright? You looked a little banged up." he said. "You should get those clean up before they get infected." he told the boy in a caring voice. "Where did you come from? Are you lost?"

[Passionate Shadow]

The boy gave Kiyoshi a strange look. "Lost? Are you out of your mind? I live here~ You're the one who's lost~!" The shorter said. "My names Kenji-who are you and what are you doing in Shifu's bedroom?" he asked moving away from Kiyosh. The dark haired boy gaze up with vivid green eyes. "I don't think you should be here miss..." he offered setting his hands on his hips as if he were declaring a fact.

It seemed Masao did in fact keep 'demons' about his home. Very bratty, rueful ones at that!
