Shadows of Tokaido

Yes... it was time to head back and they would have to see what they could find. The jedi master looked at Akari and Sukai, Tana and Kiso with a nod of her head that they should head back. She was checking it out though as they started to head back and there were a lot of people fanning out to look upon the open skies that were going to be filled with fireworks. There was a look on Wu's face when they finally returned and she checked out Akari for the moment who she was surprised hadn't fallen asleep... well there was possibly more sugar in her then blood at this moment. She hoped Yayao hadn't been to much trouble for them with the new baby as well.

 

[Sky'ito Yumi]

Akari returned a joyful smile towards Wu as the group made tracks back to the estate. The main reason the small girl hadn't yet fallen asleep was mainly due to all the sugar running through her body, once it passed Akari would probably fall into a power nap but until then she was still the life of the party. "Mum, where home"! Kiso called out, the door to their home being opened by Hitomi, said servant giving a short bow to the returning members. "Welcome back".

Wu looked at Akari and the others as the door opened and she was glad to be back... while the estival was great once she was inside and sitting down with yayao in her arms well.. she just smiled and looked up with a small yawn. "Thank you and that was enjoyable... I think if we had let her Akari would have eaten the vendors out of everything or worse." She said it with a joke but looked over at Kurenai with a nod. Kiso, Sukai and Tana had their entire night to do whatever they wanted or to sleep... or try to catch Akari if she tried more... oh god if she tried to burn off all of that sugar it was going to be something to see.

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

"You are back", came a as Kurenai walked down the halls to greet her family, at this point Wu was more or less a sister to her and an aunt to her children. Seeing that mother was awake Kiso relinquished Akari duties to go do a few tune ups, carrying the small child around for so long had done a number on her servos. Kurenai easily picking up the small child as the group sat down to take a load off after the night. "The fire works will start soon, after a rest we can head up to the top floor and have a nice time watching things set off".

Wu looked at Kiso go off and she walked over by Kurenai with a grin on her face before nodding. "Then we should go and find a good position to sit down and enjoy them." She said it and looked around for Sukai and Tana to go and get them started." Hmmm last time I saw something like this was back home." She said it and well there was fireworks but not much celebration last time she had seen and been back to her homeworld. She would have to visit againa nd find a reason.

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

With ease Kurenai lifted up Akari, holding her like one would a pet as she and her older children followed behind, "Tekashi and Hitomi will probably be making snacks for us, I have a feeling only one small child got their fill of teats while on the streets". A short nod from Sukia and Tana followed by a cute but loud burp conformed her suspicions with ease. A small chuckle from each member came with said burp as the made their way to the top of the building, other homes seeming to do the same as a few other people were out on their own balconies and roofs. The smell of food wafting from down below as their own cooks and neighbors were at work getting some festive food up and running before the show started.

Wu held back a laugh but she had a wider grin on her face as they were all heading up towards the roof so that they would be able to watch. They had gotten some food but it was true that possibly... possibly Akari had gotten the lions share of it... "I mean we all got some... she might have convinced them to give her the half eaten ones... maybe... most likely." She said it with a smile though on her face so that they would be able to go and really enjoy it. Finding a place for all of them to sit and Wu sat down with the little child in her arms when she was rocking her back and forh letting her relax on her shoulder. " Yayao was not to much trouble for you was she?"

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

Kurenai sat down with Akari in her lap, Tana and Sukai leaning against the railing for the fireworks to start as foot steps sounded from below. "Well be up in a second hon"! That was good news, Akari's head turning toward the door as the smell of food got ever closer. "Ahh yes, Akari, the negotiator, who can say no to her deals". "As for Yayao, both her and Hayato as sound asleep, hopfully hitomi and the others took the appropriate counter measures for the coming fireworks". Though said sound proofing was for other reason that pertained to military and security matters, not so much raising children. "I think those two will grow up quite close to one another".

SHe nodded in agreement to both parts of it... the children would likely grow up close and it was a hopeful thing... family should be united and it wasn't like they were unloved.. they would have a massive family going forward as the first of the fireworks went into the air. Then the sound came as colors lit up the skies... they were getting many more with a cascade that could be measured with the music in the distance. The jedi master was trying to speak but she couldn't get it as the loud booms from the fireworks presented them with a display and she gave a nod accepting her fate to not be able to have a conversation during the fire works when she leaned a little Against Kurenai and grinned... this was nice.

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

Kurenai gently stroked her younger daughters hair as the first shots came up, the start of the show accompanied by her husband and Hitomi arriving on the roof, both taking their own place to watch the fireworks unfold. It was a rare chance for the entire family to get together, Kurenai looking back on the strange vision she had about both Sukai and tana that led her on the while galaxy chance, leading to her involvement in the CIS. Though for someone such as her that could easily live over 5000 years the last decade seemed to have gone by very slow.... perhaps that is what family did, it made time slow down allowing for these movements.

The sounds of the fireworks as she was looking at it all and there was so many of them. She took in seeing the well Sukai and Tana who were here..Kiso and the others.. she missed her sister Zhang.. even if she had never really gotten to meet her and spent most of her time as the womans cook before there was anything really realized. She didn't know much about her family and had only really served her time within the ship before everything on their world had seemed to change and then she was one fo the few Jin out in the galaxy who was representing her species... even if they were possibly Atrisian offshoots who were in the galaxy. the Kiribi and Seoul system were also around the galaxy and she could check them out.

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

Takeshi sat down next to Kurenai, the latter leaning her head against the mans while watching the fire works, Akari having jumped from her lap to annoyed both Sukai and tana. "Next year we have to go back to your home world and see their own type of celebration, be interesting to see how Tana and Sukai react to their fathers home". It would be interesting experiencing a culture like her own but different in varying ways.

She looked at that and the idea of going to Tiantang with Tana and Sukai was well... yes they should be able to do that... celebrations did happen there and next time a really good one would be important. She needed to well.. she needed to check on them as the last time there was a series of attacks and uprisings but they wouldn't be able to do that yet... it was far out of the way and she knew Atrisia was working to try and establish a hyperspace lane to improve trade and relations between the worlds... if they could do that then the Tokaido lane would serve to improve the regions it went through like the farlax sector which would bring several thousand worlds into the commonwealth.

 

[Kurenai Yumi]

Akari stood up from her mothers grasp walking over to the rest of the family as they watched the fireworks. The moment seeming to last forever as the family that was often so far apart finally came together wit several new members. It was an unorthodox family, but family never the least.

The beauty of i and the little family that were here was helpful.. they cold do a lot in the small amount of time and Wu was not going to deny that she liked having a family like this... her parents were great but they were tied down by much of the Jin senses of honor and morality.. she had a sister but Zhang was well... she was gone or just ignored the people.... it was saddening but Wu needed to find someplace she could belogn and this seemed as good a place as any when she saw Akari who was there and Sukai who despite her misgivings and usual demeanor of not wanting to have fun... seemed content here and now.
