circo di un idea'

Ka returned home to find Guew's letter. He read it over and burned it up with the fire that appeared in his palm. The kitsune plopped on the bed and decided that sleeping would be the best option before having to find a new job in the morning. He wondered who would want a no good sex slave though...

Kimiko walked into the room expecting him to be working on a piece but she did not expect what that piece was. Her mouth dropped and her first thought was if she actually looked liked that naked and her second thought was how beautiful it was. It didn’t look done and considering all the fresh paint on the canvas, it was done while she was showering. “Taiko.. I don’t know what to say. It’s beautiful. When did you start making this? What are you gonna do with it? What’s it called?” She couldn’t help but let a bunch of questions come out of her mouth and immediately regretted them. “Ah, sorry I didn’t mean to ask so many questions, I just.. Wow.”

"I started it right after I finished the dishes. I had been wanting to paint something like this for ages. I haven't really decided what to do with it. Maybe give it to you as a wedding gift? The name is still undecided, I sort of like, 'The Beauty of a Naked Woman' though. It suits it." He stood up and walked over to her, kissing her forehead. "You look much more beautiful in real life, than in the painting. Would you like to sit with me as I finish the details? It's almost done. Just a few more strokes now." He took his seat again and picked back up. He always looked so pissed while painting, or rather focused.

She washed out the sweat from her hair and stood in the bath for a few minutes after she had done that. She felt herself getting a bit dizzy from the hot water and decided to get out. She dried herself off, put on a fresh pair of underwear and one of Taiko’s shirts. Maybe she didn’t need to buy her own pjs anymore. She left the bathroom to see that the dishes were all washed but where was Taiko? She checked the bedroom but he wasn’t in there. The only room left was the studio. she knocked on the slightly opened door. “Taiko?”

Taiko had been hard at work since she was in the shower. He had finished most of it. He didn't seem to mind seeing her naked frame on the canvas. When he head her knock at the door he looked back, "come in." Hopefully her reaction would be a good one. "I hope you like her, I thought making her naked would just sort of add something." He cleaned off one of his brushes and looked over at her. "Your thoughts?"

"I see... so you're going to just pick up everything and go. Please, at least leave him a letter or something. It would be easier for him to read it then try and calm him down and me tell him why you left. There's some paper and a pen on the coffee table." He decided to go to his room.

She smiled, glad that he liked the soup. She was also glad that he could cook, because of he couldn’t, they were both in trouble. “Yeah, I joined the swim team in elementary school Im in my schools swim team as well.” Kimiko finished her food a few minutes after Taiko even though she had a much smaller portion than he did. “I almost forgot to get a swimsuit but back in America, when I was doing a swimsuit shoot they let me keep 2 sets so that’s good.” Kimiko didn’t make all that much money but they let her keep a few things from each shoot if she wanted to so she didn’t have to worry about clothes. “Yeah, it’s probably gonna be super busy tomorrow. Hm, I’m gonna go shower since I didn’t get to before, mind doing the dishes?”

"Yeah that's fine. I don't mind doing a few dishes." He got up and took both of their bowls. With a sigh he began to wash everything in the sink. He had let it pile up for too long now. Maybe he could go into his work room and start a new painting. He sort of missed painting with everything going on. After he had finished the dishes he went to the small room that was originally suppose to be a studio. The floor was covered in newspaper in case he got paint anywhere. He took a seat on the wooden chair and stared at the blank canvas. Within seconds he began to paint, his brush dipping into the skin tone paint that he had before smothering onto the canvas. It was obvious what he was painting. An abstract portrait of Kimiko.

Yuu sighed and stood in the doorway. "Look Guew. Jobs that have anything with serving others are despised by Ka, we used to be sex slaves. Imagine his surprise when he found out you'd be working with him. I'm sure he's just at war with himself right now, please don't leave him."

“You know I’m only on the cover, we don’t have to waste that much money on it.” She shook her head laughing at him. She walked over to the stove and took the soup off the stove and grabbed some bowls to serve it in. “As unrealistic as the show is, I’m sure they wouldn’t have square fishes..” She smiled at how immature he was but it was just another reason to love him. “C’mon, the foods ready.” She put the bowls next to each other and sat down pulling out the chair next to her so that Taiko could sit. “I still want to go to the beach. It’d be so nice to go swimming again. I haven’t gone in a while and I miss it. And I’m sure we have plenty of time to start planning!”

Taiko nodded and sat down next to her. He blew on his soup before taking in the spoonful. "This is really good. Simple yet good." He continued to eat. "You swim? I never knew that. I never really got to swim. Only the rich people had that luxury." He soon polished off his bowl of soup and even the bread she had put in the toaster for him. He may have been slim but boy could he eat for days. "We should get there early to get a good space and avoid all the old shirtless people," he shivered just thinking about it.

"Hey! Thats dirty!" She laughed and watched him wallk over to the couch. She  put a cover on her pot and sat down on the couch with him. "Ouch that must hurt." She continued watching when her phone began to ring. Who would be calling her right now? She went to pick up her phone and saw that it was her manager. After a moment or two of speaking she ran back to Taiko with a huge smile on her face. "The fashion magazine that has me on the cover just came out!"

Taiko looked up at her as she got back, a smile spread on his face. "It finally came out? We'll have t buy like 15 copies of it. Ya know, just in case we lose some, or ripe some, or soil some, ya know. We can go tomorrow and buy some." He flipped the channel to some cartoons. "Ya know watching Spongebob in Spanish and English just doesn't compare. The whole time I just thought he was a square fish... I was so surprised when I found out the truth." He shook his head pretending to be sad. "So tomorrow is still the beach right? Or did you already want to start planning?" He stuck out his tongue, laughing.
