"Alright. Then to the garden!" Mizuki said with a grin nearly jumping forwrd past Kyin walking as his tail swayed behind him. He was oddly excited to go outside even though it was slightly muddy. He normally always spent his days inside and going otuside was rare for him. It was always inside house work for him.

Dante looked at Riku before laughing and nodding. "Yeah, tonight. It's around 6. We'll be leaving at 5. You won't be fighting but watching. I have my bets on one of my trusted slaves within the areana. I want to show you the basics and have him teach you a few things so. It will be training for you" He explained with a smirk.

Kyin laughed. "How cute.. You have such cute actions all the time.." He followed the mouse outside and looked around. A lavish garden adorned with bushes and flowers. He let his jaw dropand his eyes widen. "Very beautiful garden."

Riku's tail wagged like an excited, dare he think, dog and he looked up at Dante. "Why would you place a bet on slaves to fight? Wait.. what happens if one dies in the ring whithin the first few minutes? And why would you use me and not another one of the better ones?"

"Hmm? I guess I don't really notice them" Mizuki spoke glancing around outside and making his way to the bushes. He almost immediatly dropped down to hs knees and puled his ears back a litle bit, sticking his head into the bush and reaching for the broken sprinkler head. He hated that they put htese thigns into the bushes instead of outside of them. His tail flicked behidn him as he manage to grab the head of the sprinkler and sit up glancing down at the thing frowning slightly. "You know how to fix these?" He asked holding the small black thing to Kyin.

"Well, fighting slaves is how we show show who's at the top. We place bets to see who can guess who win and makes it to the top. If they die then the owner who has that slave is immediatly cast out of the arena for a week until they train a better more skilled slave. I want to use you because you'll be my weapon. Fighting is in your veins. Just look what you did at the warehouse. You broke out and took down masters. You have what it takes" Dante smiled warmly placing his hand on Riku's cheek.

Kyin smiled. "Yeah.. That's childs play campared to fixing china plates and all the other stuff I had to fix with my older master." He grabbed the black head and got on his knees, his ears flattening back and his tail wrapping around his leg. He went into the bush, meddling with the sprinkler before he came back out. "Alright.. It's all fixed.. It should be easy to fix all the other ones and it should be working again."

Riku purred with the warm touch. His old masters never touched him because they were afraid he would snap at them. His cheeks somehwat let color through but he shook it off and looked at Dante, leaving his hand where it was. "Mmmh.. I'm just happy you have some use for me.. I was never really any use at all my other homes.." His ears flattened a little and he looked at Dante, letting out a small smile.

"Oh..." He spoke, his tail swaying behind him. "Okay then. Off we go" he smiled jumping to his feet and seeming to scamper acrossed a path before going to anouther hedge sticking his head in and tinkering with the sprinkler head puting it in it's place and pulling hismelf out of the bush looking back at Kyin. "There's two by the shed in the bushes and I can get the ones on the outskirts of the garden."

Dante smiled and brought his hand up to Riku's right ear, scratching it before smiling genuinly. "Don't worry. I have plenty of use for you, now I suggest you get a small nap in. We'll be out till around midnight. Fights last a while" He grinned pulling back his hand.

Kyin nodded and ran toward the shed and let his ears fall back, his tail around his leg. He crawled through the bushes and tinkered with the sprinklers, getting sprayed as one turned on. He quickly fixed it and was sprayed more before he was able to get out andf run back toward Mizuki.

Riku let a pur come to him when Dante scratched his ear. He looked at Dante and hsook his head. "They'll end fast with me... Don't worry.. I *censored*ure you that I can end a fight as quickly as they start.. Where can I nap? Got somewhere warm? I don't usually sleep on the beds but if I can sleep near a fireplace or somehting..."

Mizuki had finished wih his sprinkler heads and managed tos tand up just as he seen Kyin comming back towards him. He waved before bringing the back of his hand up and seeming to smere mud acrossed his cheek. He wasn't aware of this as he walked forward noticing Kyin wet. "Looks like you don't have much of a bath to take" He laughed his tail floping behind him.

"I thought I explained your not fighting tonight" Dante frowned sighing. "Your observing and training. Not fighting" He spoke clearly befoe motioning into his library. "Odd yes, but there's a fireplace in front of my chair. Your more then welcome to start a fire and curl up infront of it."

Kyin laughed adn looked at the mouse. "Yeah.. Will Dante be upset if I walk in wet?? I don't want to track anything alywhere.." He looked at the house then around the garden. "Where does he get there exotic flowers??"

Riku walked into the library. "I don't midn sleeping in a bed. My old Master used to make my sleep at the foot of his bed just in case he began to kick out.. the kicks mostly hit me.. But the blanket stayed on his feet and kept him warm.." Riku walked over and pocked the logs gently then started a small fire. He curled up on the floor, his head resting on the shoulder of his arm and his arm layed across the floor. His tail and legs were curls up close to him. His ears remained alert. "I'm used to sleeping on the floor anyways.. And I know I'm not fighting.. I'm just going to tell you that more Masters better bring slaves when o'm in the ring.. Three minute fights.. Tops.." He let out a yawn.

( Grrrr. I want to strangle someone....but I won't. )

Mizuki smiled before shaking his head. "Not if you go straight to the shower. He won't mind at all" he spoke making his way to the house. "And I don't know really. The gardener gets them from some place special adn Maser just aproves."

Dante looked over at Riku before smiling softly. "I'll keep your word on that, now you rest" he spoke turning his back on Riku walking out of the room to allow him peace and quiet.

( That fails but i'm mad so..Rping isn't in my taste. I need to find something to calm me down. )

(why why??)

Kyin looked at Mizuki and followed the little mouse toward the house. He looked at the house and then the flowers. He smiled. "They look very pretty and some probably smell just as lovely." He smiled and sniffed the flowers gently. "It's so sweet."

Riku nodded off. The fire warming him up and his ears twitched slightly when the fire would pop and his tail began to swish across the floor. He let his head rest finally and his ears flopped over as he looked at the fire. He yawned again and then looked at the door. He turnefd back to the fire and he purred.

( Just a few conversations around Res. Pictures....I hate certain things and people going on and on about it is just, driving me up the wall )

Mizuki listened to Kyin looking back at him before smiling. "Yeah. It's nice out here when I get to come out. I'm so busy with housework that...I don't have time to relax and enjoy the little things in life" He spoke his ears falling as he focused on a flower bush near the home door.

( Not much to say here )

(ahh.. i see...)

Kyin looked at Mizuki and smiled. His ear twitching and he relaxed a lot. "Oh thank god.. My bdrother is finally asleep... He hasn't slept for a while.. I think he's been awayke for at least a week.. He was always so worried about me.." He smiled and looked dat Mizuki. "Alright Mizuki, what's next?"

(not much...)

Riku awoke to Dante's soft voice calling him from the downstairs, being a cat, he heard the otherwise considered whisper of his master. He opened his eyes, the fire was already burned out and he rubbed his eyes free of the weary likeliness they were in. He yawned and stretched out. HIs tail wagged when he noticed the sun had begun to set. It was time for him to see the arenas. He rans downstairs and pounced from the last step and onto Dante. His cheek rubbing against Dante's. "Master, Master, are we going to see the fights?" His tail wagged like a (dare he say) dog's tail would and he let out a pur.

Kyin smiled and placed his hand on Mizuki's head. He bowed to the mistress. "We are done with the chore you have given us before." His tail wagged with satisfaction to how quickly he had finished with Mizuki. THey were already getting closer and closer with every hour and every chore.

Dante laughed lightly and actually pushed Riku back down on his feet. "Calm now dear, Riku. We are going. Just...go to the car. I need to grab something real quick" Dante smiled running his hand acrossed his slaves right ear before dopping it back down to his side.

The mistress smiled and actually gave a soft giggle reaching forward running her hand threw Kyin's hair and over his left ear. "That's good. You two may rest for tonight. If I need you i'll call" She smiled dropping her hand and focusing on Mizuki. The mouses ears twitched slightly and lowered when Kyin rested his hand on his head. He gave a smile towards the mistress and bowed a little bit. "Thank you mistress" he grinned turning to Kyin. "Show you the sleeping quarters?" he asked curiously his ears twitching slightly as his tail swayed behind him happily to get some rest.

Riku nodded and walked out, bowing to the man who opened the door for, was spposed be Dante, but he accepted it and walked out to the car. He got in, sitting on the seat. He felt weird, so he slid down onto the floor, his tail wrapping around him and his ears pulling back.

Kyin nodded. "Thank you Mistress for allowing us to rest." He smiled and nodded to Mizuki. "of course. I'm still new here although I have the basics of the home down.. well.. masion." He smiled and excused himself from the room.

Dante had grabbed a few papers before making his way out to the car and climbing into it. He smiled and petted his slaves head and glanced out to the window but spoke to the driver. "The fights please" he smled glancing over at Riku. "No fighting tonight, got it? Your hand needs to heal. I'm going to show you the basics" He smiled, his eyes seeming to shine brightly.

Mizuki nodded lighlty following Kyin before pointing down the hall near the back of the house. "I have like a basement type room. Although I think they are going to put you with your brother which is upstairs. Want me to show you your room?" He asked curoiusly his tail curling around his own leg a little unsure of what to do now. Resting periods were always awkeard for him.

Riku looked at Dante. "Alright.. Do your eyes always hsine like that when you go to the fights?" He cupped his mouth, feeling like he said something that may get him slappped. "Um.. Ignore my question... Anyways.. um.. are you bidding tonight on what slave will win?" Riku's tail swished back and forth. His ears pulling back.

Kyin smiled and followed Mizuki. "Of course.. And why do you get one that's down here when my brother and I, whom are very new, get to sleep upstairs?" He looked curiously at Mizuki and then walked down the hall toward the back of the house, trying to find Mizuki's room.

Dante listened to Riku before laughing. "I guess they do.... I'm a big gambler when it comes to teh fights, so yeah. I am betting tonight. There's a dog that's up tonight that is actually pretty good. He's won the last six fights he's been in" He anounced watching the car go down the road.

"I've always lived down...." he explained pushing open a door that had stairs leading down to the basement. "I kind of like it better. I mean....it's really plain but it works. Just a bed and window but i'm happy. Master likes you cause you and your brother have potiential I've been around a while and when they first got me they didn't know wha to do" He shrugged lightly.
