Next morning in Japan as blow horns came alive at the crack of dawn as Rachel and Jessica stretched… what time is it…. Don’t know Rachel love as Seiko knocked both of you up… Yeah, what time is it… four am…... what Rachel and Jessica spoke why so early… please come and I will get you both ready… My dear student today marks your first step in forging your future passing her a Gi and said this is what all members wear to train, work and eat in after every day wash it and dry it before you sleep or suspect harsh reprimands from the grand master… Yes, Sensei Rachel spoke and for you Jessica pulling out a black and blue Kimono…

This was one of my own Kimonos you will wear and if you decide to work or take in sights you will wear this, do you understand Yes Ma’am bowing helping Jessica with her robe and hair as Rachel came out how do I look as Jessica said you look like a Street fighter character gone wrong… as Rachel spoke you look like a house wife… who knows right when they all heard the bell… what is that… Come breakfast…. As the three left their hut to begin their day….

Ahhh Seiko good morning as she bowed to Grand Master Tai Pei as Rachel and Jessica followed suit…. How well did you two sleep… good Grand Master… that is wonderful now Rachel after breakfast you must take your studies to the next level so you will be training alongside our own initiates but you will be tested… I heard Grand Master… Let me finish… Yes, Grand Master… what Seiko has already taught you will be covered in your morning and mid-afternoon training and chores… then at night you will fight one of my hand chosen warriors one for each night testing different aspects and challenges…

Yes, Grand Master thank you, Grand Master… now you are dismissed…. Now Jessica since you are here as a guest some of our female members might need a hand with children or small chores would you mind… No Grand Master I will be most gladly to help anywhere I can, but I am not fluent in Japanese…. HUNKUK when another female came and bow to them both this is Sakura Say Hello dear….

Hi how are you hehehe… you know English surprising Jessie…I know some English yes but if you need to speak Japanese I will help you translate and speak on your behalf… thank you Sakura… Come let us Eat before Chores get started dragging Jessie along for the ride…

Seiko smiled I should have told them both about our customs here on the grounds… don’t worry about it dear they will learn just like we had to learn I sense a strong spirit in your student ones of the likes I never seen before…. Can you believe she was a timid wallflower with a lot of brains…?

Ah Seiko you forget Grandparents teachings already the best ninjas are the ones who can outsmart and out think their opponent I believe in her watching Rachel try to blend in as her so called peers continue to shun her and call her Gaijin again as Rachel quickly ate her meal when like on clock work all Initiates heard the class gong and hurriedly got to the court ground as Rachel was in line upon rows of other trainees like herself as her classes started as she began to follow in line with the other students exercises….

Jessica smiled and smelled the fresh air when she felt a tug on her kimono looking down to see a young girl speaking in Japanese… when Sakura said she is asking you would you like to help gather chicken eggs… Ummm ok sure what for…

For our Lunch meal you see dear we make our meals from our farm animals taking the old and butcher cows and pigs the meat and bacon… cows for the milk… chickens for eggs and protein… just like a farm back home then… as Jessica, Sakura and the little girl who Jessie came out to find out her name was Nimmo as they both helped the little girl with her chores….

Rachel continued go class to class as the morning went on to midday as her body bruised and sore after loosing how many times she was dropped on her backside when one of the trainees spun kick and triangle **** hold speaking… you don’t belong here you American Gaijin Dog Go Home…

Enraging Rachel but kept her composure when the teacher came up and said break it up now… who started this… SHE DOESN’T BELONG HERE… she is a student just like you… NO SHE IS A DOG SHE IS NO MAGE… and what was you when you came to us now apologize….SORRY as she bowed… I am so sorry Initiate for her actions Lotus hates outsiders especially Americans… Rachel spoke so she hates me more than ever…

Ahh you worry too much... prove her wrong in battle show her you belong and then you grow a kinship with your fellow Shadow Mages… Thank you Mentor Rachel bowed… Name is Quan Lo…. Rachel, she spoke back when the Lunch bell rang as she and the rest broke for Lunch….

Seiko found Jessie eating near the garden… So, I hear you helped gather food for our lunch this afternoon…

Yes, Seiko it felt good knowing I could help and Contribute… and yet you sit far from the people you help fed… just feel like they don’t want us here Seiko…. You noticed that too but you are wanted here and Rachel is here is she not… Yes, but some called me American Dog… listen our kind of culture some don’t like outsiders coming in, but they will grow on you trust me when Rachel came to her Sensei…. There you two are…. As Jessica seen the Heavy Bruises pelted her lover's flesh….

Rachel oh my are you… Yeah, I am OK, who said this was to be easy… we don’t have to…. No Jess I do trust me this is all me I need this… Why… because I don’t want anyone to think I am weak and pathetic OK… you are not dear I love you for who you are when the chore bell began ringing…

When the Grand Master came forth to them and said Rachel time for work, I need you to help with today’s Laundry… Yes, Grand Master bowing and walking off meeting with others to their dismay of teaching her the ropes as Rachel picked it up quickly while the Dinner gong rang hours later as the entire Shadow Mages came to a grand banquet hall….

Rachel Jenkins Step forward…. Yes, Grand Master… tonight is your first match win tonight will step you towards your mission here do you accept… I DO UPON THE HONOR OF THE SHADOW MAGE… get ready for your opponent HURUH when Man came out cracking his neck while fellow warriors watched on as Jessie and Seiko watched on… Look at the size of this man… I can see Seiko spoke… when the monster of a man looked at his prey…

YOU GIVE ME A TWIG THIS SHALL BE EASY as the man cracked his neck and got into fighting stance…. When Rachel got into fighting position… when Grand Master shouted FIGHT as Gurdon threw a wicked punch knocking Rachel off guard…. ok I’ll give you that one big guy as she recaught her breath and place herself in a fighting form not backing down… funny twig lady makes me laugh when Gurdon tried to swing this time missing…

Hold still little girl… what is the matter can’t hit me Sasquatch dodging the meaty hooks and tree trunk legs… as Jessica cheered the loudest seeing her lover stand toe to toe with the massive man when Rachel hit pressure points slowing the big man down… what is the matter big guy losing your steam…

When Gurdon drop to one knee shocking everyone in attendance… Sorry big guy you are not going to stop me in my mission finding her inner strength picking the man up and slamming him down on the dirty floor grabbing his beefy arm making him scream as he tapped… Point won Rachel Jenkins…

Congratulations Initiate as Rachel bowed in front of the grand master… Miko’s come forth as two rows of four women came forward take our winner and service her and her partner’s needs and get their clothing washed and cleaned tonight as they all bowed as Jessica said what is going on…

I guess this is a reward… don’t do that to me again… do what… take on someone twice your size… Baby I can’t help who they pick… well you had me worried… you what about me the man felt like pure concrete as they were led to a hot tub for two overlooking a cliff… when the Miko’s turned away as the two lovers disrobed and sunk into the warm water… MMMMM congratulations Rachel dear on your victory as Jessica kissed her lip while the Miko’s washed their clothing and served them Sake’ as a Shooting star flew across the nighttime sky…
