"it is nice to meet you Mai. Well here we are." Ryu said. They first went over to his home. It was a small two floor house with a decent sized yard. It seemed to be in good reparation even though it probably needed to be repainted. The entrance door was a sliding door with a screen. They went inside. It was quite tidy and seemed to be a bit empty as there wasn't much furniture. Therefore there were lots of trinkets and shamans utensils on shelves. "Well this is my home. I have rice wine, bottled water and fresh picked green melons in the fridge. The guest room is in the back of the house and currently only contains a futon, a desk and a wall closet. Down here we have a living room with a small TV, a short table and a couple shelves. The kitchen has plates, cups and silverware as well as cooking utensils. My room is upstairs. You are not to walk around in your street shoes within the house. Socks or slippers are fine. Now let's go over to Kana's place." Ryu said. They went out the back through Ryu's backyard and went through a gate to Kana's backyard.

"This is my home." Kana said in a sweet voice. The house was more in a traditional style and only contained one floor with a courtyard at its center. "My room is next to the guest room and the guest room is similar to the guest room at Ryu's place just with tatami mats. There is a pathway from the house over to the shrine. Please only wear socks within the house or you may suffer from punishment. For normal shrine work you will be given clothes while your choice of clothes can be made during training. Every Friday, we will train together and then head over to the noodle place afterwards."
