Board Thread:Konoha General RP/@comment-28929139-20170531000627

The Sagara-Shimizu Ocha-Okiya had successfully been in business for five years, and with every year, the profits run higher while general operating costs were getting lower. The who's who of Konoha and its surrounding villages were known to migrate here for everything from meetings to missions, and now with her daughter a registered ninja, business was truly booming. Hoshiko Sagara-Shimizu could hardly believe that what started as a small little dainty corner in the village was now a cornerstone location for the fatcats of the political world. And she couldn't have done it without the help of some dedicated investors, one of whom included the Hyuuga Patriarch consort, Obelisk Rinha, husband to the Hyuuga's leader and founder of the hospitals that now furnished their village.

As was protocol, Hoshiko would meet with her shareholders at the end of every quarter and discuss their gameplan for the upcoming season. With Summer just around the corner, people were busy and up to their eyelids in affairs to attend to, that included her biggest investor, Obelisk. So instead of the man himself coming, he would be sending his son Zaiko. Although he was quite young to be handling such affairs, Hoshiko had been grooming her daughter Kideme to do the same thing and saw this as a perfect opportunity to observe their children and how they conducted business. It was settled.

A messenger nin would stop by the Hyuuga compound and drop off an invitation for tea between Zaiko and Kideme to meet at 7pm. Whenever Zaiko would arrive he would to the stone torii gates of the teahouse.

Clearly, the teahouse wasn't just a house, it was like more like a floating palace on water.

At the little-gated bridge, Kideme stood waiting for Zaiko, dressed in a very ornate pink and baby blue kimono with gold dragons embroidered all over the sleeve and her hair done up in a ponytail with flowers. All snark and silliness aside, Kideme knew how to be geisha-boss when she needed to. "Hey Zaiko... you didn't get lost did you?" She asked while leading him into the covered bridge.
