[D3 LE] Raging Storm Incoming

[Miya Akari]

Akari had slipped notes under the doors of the Phoenix and the Crane earlier, letting them know that she wished to spend time with them this evening and apologize for being so busy the evening before. And so she waited to see if they would answer the notes by visiting.

[Shiba Yukari]

Since she wasn't sneaking around hallways after everyone else was asleep, Yukari's second visit to Akari's room involved far more proper attire- kimono that were actually long enough, a couple of layers, that sort of thing.

She also carried a small bundle... grooming supplies to obtain something approximating a proper appearance after the fact.

And, based upon prior experience... a folded towel tucked under one arm.

[Daidoji Kenzo]

The ladies were worried about their reputations, as well they should be since they were unmarried and in the prime of their lives. With the inn so busy at the time of day he decided it was time to do what he was best at. If neither of the ladies were facing the Akari's bedroom window they may not even know he was there until his foot hit the ground and he allowed himself to make a noise, not wanting to totally scare them.

"Good evening ladies."

This is the part where the yojimbo stabs me isn't it? Didn't think this through.

[Miya Akari]

Yukari was let in upon arrival, sliding th door closed behind her.
A small kiss was offered to her cheek, and a whisper spoken.
"I've missed you. Any time without you near is too long."

As Akari's blade was on a daisho stand she didn't have it to swing at the sound. She turned in surprise, but immediately calmed.

"Kenzo-san. At least whisper something?" She teased with a smirk.

She took Yukari's things and set them aside. She was very pointedly bending at the waist rather than the knees.

[Daidoji Kenzo]

"My apologies, I have a lot to apologize for it seems." He closed the window behind him and latched it then leaned against the wall. "I am both excited and surprised to receive your letter given my disappearing act yesterday. Believe when I say that had I been able to join you nothing would have stopped me and I feel a great deal of shame over it."

[Miya Akari]

"You don't need to apologize," she said indicating a cushion for him, but staying near Yukari for now.

[Shiba Yukari]

"It seems yesterday got away from all of us."

She stayed close to Akari, while favoring Kenzo with a smile that was equal parts shy and amused.

"Of course, Kenzo-san has somewhat eliminated the space for polite fictions by his dramatic entrance."

[Daidoji Kenzo]

"Dramatic to you but utterly unnoticed by others, no one saw me come here and none will see me leave so if my name is being mentioned in the morning we will know that Kitsuki-sama must be a peeper." he said with a soft chuckle and watching them both with a restraint he wished he didn't have. "But...so I didn't miss anything yesterday? You say yesterday got away from us all."

[Miya Akari]

Akari's fingertips dragged along Yukari's waist as she stepped around behind her. She placed a small kiss on her neck, stepping closer, and putting hands around her waist.

"Have a seat Kenzo-san," she said, indicating one of the cushions in the room.

She started to inch the Shiba to the collected cushions. But she also took the time to point out some live chamomile and a small azalea sapling in small pots in the corner of the room that got sunlight when the window was open. "I got those for you. You can let me know when you want me to bring them to your room."

[Daidoji Kenzo]

Setting his wakizashi aside he sat on the offered cushion; his head swimming.

[Shiba Yukari]

Yukari made a small noise in the back of her throat as the Imperial's lips touched her neck, and let herself be guided.

She smiled at the plants.

"Akari-chan, you're far, far too sweet..."

[Miya Akari]

"You are worth the time and effort," Akari replied, fingertips gliding over the cloth of Yukari's kimono.

Her eyes met with Kenzo's as she smiled at him. The two inched ever closer, Akari taking her time. "And I'm certain I'm not the only one that feels that way."

[Daidoji Kenzo]

"Without a doubt, your charm and grace pulled me to you and if I lost my sight tomorrow I would find comfort in the memory of your image and the sweet sound of your voice." He said to Yukari as he raised his hands to her hoping Akari would guide her into them.

He looked at Akari then. "But you are no less special. You are bold, confident, observant, thoughtful, playful and beautiful. There is a strength in you that comes not just from the muscles hiding beneath that smooth skin but comes from the core of who you are."

[Shiba Yukari]

The Phoenix blushed at the praise of herself- and smiled at the praise of Akari.

"She's also a good teacher."

[Miya Akari]

"Kenzo is generous," she replied with a smirk and a slight flush.
It was clearly not from embarrassment. "... and also quite accurate, because I can't argue with what you say about Yukari."

In a smooth motion, a foot drags one of the cushions between the Crane and Phoenix, and she guides them together. She remains standing, but doesn't release the Shiba right away. Rather, she tilts her head back and leans over to kiss her, a passionate thing at an unexpected angle. She lets the Phoenix decide how long she wants to hold her Imperial partner there.

[Shiba Yukari]

One thing Yukari had figured out two days prior, was that she liked how Akari kissed.

And this was no exception- so she held her position until she needed to breathe.

Well. Apart from a slight squirming, a mixture of excitement and frustration (exciting in its own way) that her hands weren't really positioned to be much help.

[Daidoji Kenzo]

Excitement and frustration described Kenzo perfectly in that moment. They were so close but still he was just an observer and while he liked the show he wanted to join them.

"When was the last time either of you got a massage?" He ask suggestively.

[Miya Akari]

"In a manner of speaking, two nights ago," Akari replied with a playful smirk, before moving to a trunk in the room and letting the other two get acquainted.

[Daidoji Kenzo]

It was time for Kenzo to stop watching and participate. He reached up and brushed her cheek with the back of his hand, feeling the soft perfect skin before finally moving in to kiss her.

Despite the energy bouncing around inside him it was surprisingly gentle, just a few pecks to gage her interest but he could taste a bit of Akari that lingered on her lips.

[Shiba Yukari]

As she'd met Akari's passion with passion, Yukari met Kenzo's gentleness with her own, running her fingertips through his hair, and making sure her gaze met his, letting him see a bit of her own vulnerability.
