"And up" Lessons had long ago began for the new Maiko, while others prepared for the first performances of the coming spring "Hold the fan in between your fingers like this" Kiyoshi instructed "Remember to focus girls, soon it will become second nature, a fan is your friend and you communicate through it, embrace it" Kiyoshi spun to look at the girls
Twirling the wooden objects in her hands as they landed swiftly in her palms, the girls awing "see, I want you all to be prepared for the first spring"
Nobles from the capital city would arrive in Gion to see their cherry blossom dance during the Miyako Odori, it was a yearly event, where hundreds over the country would attend including the Emperor Toshinori himself as well as the imperial twelve "Continue to practice, I'll be be back"
"Kiyoshi nee I can't find my new kimono"Yukina said, panic etched across her features, she was a pale slender girl with light brown hair and large blue eyes, sharing the same features with her older twin sister "Did you check in the chest under your bed"
"Ah oh, thank you"
"Kiyoshi my—"
"Your fan is in your cupboard"
Kiyoshi kept the Okiya in check and in order, she knew how each of them worked and the Maiko did not question her methods, nothing could go missing under her nose, soon one of the youngest Maiko stood before her the small blonde haired girl had her hair styled up seeming to have a piece missing
The child did not speak very much and let her sisters do the speaking for her, "my hair pin, my hair pin" she muttered "Hiroko"
"Onee chan my—" pulling out a thin white marble piece, Kiyoshi pushed the ornament into her hair, the blue flowers dangling down her head "thank you" Hiroko hugged her torso before scampering off
"Onee chan Kanemi took my Hizarashi comb and won't give it back" the white haired girl pointing accusingly at her sister "no Onee chan, Yuki took mine" the brown haired girl yelled back, Kiyoshi had known many of the girls for years and treated them as if they were her own siblings, she knew their habits and how they treated one another
"Do keep your voices down, remember where we are" Kiyoshi smiled, brushing away her pink locks, the older woman reached to pull the hair pieces out of their obi "the two of you argue so much, you take each other's things to get back at one another"
