Rosaria's In Her Kimono
The Giant Gates From birth Rosaria has had to aim towards the top in everything, even learning marital arts, she picked archery, so it would only make sense if her father selected suiter also has his own field of expertise in something, and he did.... ".." She couldn't explain it, this building, the people inside, as she seen when the giant wooden gate doors opened, standing behind Ryuto was hundreds of fellowers. "Welcome, Rosaria, this is my sword school while also a shine think it more as a temple, we are named the celestial path please enter." Rosaria wasn't shocked because of the size only because she didn't know schools like this where still around. This school believes one must follow the old ways to reach the top that's why everyone wore kimonos, even Rosaria is a special guest, wearing red, holding a rose flower, and wooden sandals. He held his hand out, but Rosaria walked past him, as he just smiled walking beside each other. "Wow, I can see why the master finally chose to get married, you can tell she's from a noble family, her beauty and aura, only match towards his."He smiled once more looking towards Rosaria. "Do you like the attention?" Still no word. "This school, respects strength only them off power can rank up here, even more once upon entering you must obey the rules if you don't your expelled." She would sigh looking at him annoyed. "You also left out your family owns it." She said as he just smiled. "You did your reseach. But you did come at a good time today is enrollment." For anyone enrolling will have to line up at the gate but inside. |

Ryuji was walking along a path he normally didn't take while out. Next to him was his partner, a Calumon named Yoshihiro. They had gotten a holosuit for him so the little digimon wouldn't need to ride in his backpack every time they left the apartment they shared. In retrospect, Ryuji thought that having a martial artist for a roommate wasn't so strange. The strange part was this martial artist was normally a small monster no bigger than a small plushie when undisguised.
Soon some open gates caught Yoshihiro's attention and the playful young digimon made his way to the gates by taking off in a brisk walk. Seeing this, Ryuji increased his pace to catch up with the disguised digimon. Soon the two of them walked through the open gate with Ryuji only able to catch up to Yoshihiro because his digimon partner was now standing and looking around. Gasping to catch his breathe, Ryuji asked "Yoshihiro, what's with you? Why did you take off so quick?"
Tugging gently on the collar of Ryuji's hoodie, the disguised Calumon whispered "You need to relax more, Ryuji. I have a holosuit so I don't stick out like a sore thumb right now. If anything you do judging by the choice of clothing at this place." After whispering to Ryuji, Yoshihiro let the seventeen year old go and started snickering quietly.
Deciding to get a better look around, Ryuji noticed that his partner had a point. "Yeah, a baggy hoodie and jeans kinda stands out here. Come on, Yoshihiro. It's not that funny."

As she approached the gates, she couldn't help but think about how limiting her movement was. She had heard something along the lines of a sword training, and she couldn't help but be excited about it. The foreigner had heard tales of the samurai but had also heard that they were long dead. But she supposed there wouldn't possibly be a way to keep such a culture so deeply ingrained in Japanese history gone forever. Besides, it was in human nature to recycle old trends, so it was only a matter of time until the samurai made their resurgence!
She had only just come to the country, but was already irritated by its laws. She was not even allowed to keep her usual self-defense kit on her person in this country! She came to this country to feel safer, but how was she supposed to feel safe if she could not even defend herself? The young European woman didn't particularly like the idea of sweating to become strong, but she supposed she could give it a try. She did not like the idea of fighting with her bare hands, so it would only be natural for her to learn how to use a Japanese weapon.
She was told that those entering must be wearing a kimono, so naturally she complied, but... something felt off to the young woman. Wrapped by a deep indigo kimono with a white butterfly pattern, this... furisode, as it was called, just did not seem practical for exercise. She held her arms out to her side as her sleeves dangled down to her ankles. She was unfamiliar in martial arts, but wouldn't such long sleeves be considered a major weak point? The cloth wrapped around her legs to constrain her movement and made it hard to walk, so a bare leg stuck out every time she needed to take a step. What's more, there was a cloth wrapped tightly around her chest and waist, so even breathing wasn't easy for her.
Still, the woman had to marvel at the design. "Well, well, well..." She marveled to no one in particular. "Japanese women must be powerful indeed, if they are able to fight in such impractical outfits!" Though as she approached a pair in front of her, she was momentarily confused. There was a young man with long red hair in a kimono that looked completely different than her own, and then there was a boy around the same age as her wearing... surprisingly casual clothes.
"Excuse me, you two!" She called out. Though she spoke Japanese, her dialect was slightly off and covered by an indistinguishable European accent. She walked up close to the boy with the casual clothes until she was mere centimetres away. "Forgive me for asking, sweet boy, but there is a... dress code for this... no? Because if there is not, I am feeling foolishly!" She lifted her arms up and twirled around in front of them, as if to display her dilemma.

After the three talked for a while, more people shown up one after the next, some wearing kimonos others not, being about 50% that did and 50% whom didn't. "It's time to go back." This was said to Rosaria being with Ryuto walking back to where they were before ready to meet each new student. His yellow eyes where calm gazing upon every new student here, yet his calm personality and good looks could charm anyone, truly looking like someone from a novel being a sect master of long ago eras, they would witness this man wearing his white kimono possessing also white hair as both gates opened wide. "It's a pleasure to see so many new students." Both hands where behind his back. His words were on point speaking kindly. "You all may call me Ryuto but only for today as I wish to make you all feel welcome, but if you choose the path of the sword then only my surname or master would do." Then his hand when out and smiled. "Oh, this here is Rosaria Alanis, please show respect to her as well, she isn't a student here, but she is my wife." He said that in same tone nothing change as Rosaria just stood their calm her face serious as both eyes display the same. "Fiance." He just smiled that off, as he would say something else. "I can see some of you didn't wear kimonos, I will let you off for today, as I don't know everyone's background and many might not be able to afford one, but if that's true come to me and I will get one ready for you, that is a most before we train, and sometimes you changed into different ones mattering on your training, but for them who have, has already shown me they take this serious. We wear them to show respect towards the culture from battles towards eating one must look respectable, showing your inner self." He would stand by Rosaria asking each one a question that they would take turns answering from left to right.
"Tell me how old you are, and why you're here today, and a hobby so I can understand you a little. After you have done so you may ask me one thing." Each one would answer some serious some joking. "To meet girls." "To become stronger." "To show respect towards my ancestors." Their ages were around 13, to early 20s. After then what they asked him was serious to funny. "How old are you?" "How did you get married at a young age?" "Was it love at first sight!" "Will we be able to master the sword like you?" "Can you cut metal?" "Can I use three swords?"
He just smiled, answering. "20, it was arranged by our families, yes it was." That one made Rosaria blush as he smiled at her then back to them. "You will with time, and I can." That last one had him puzzled. "Sorry, no, it's dangerous to have more than two, people use to carry several swords just in case one broke, but never used three at once. Also that wasn't a question about me but I will accept them as well." In time it would get to Arissa and Ryuji, Yoshihiro.

At the sight of two girls that Ryuji obviously considered attractive instead of answering the girl who mentioned a dress code, he shyly squeaked and began starting at his shoes. Yoshihiro shook his head and then the disguised Calumon preceded to poke his tamer's cheek and got not even a swat to the hand in response. It seemed Ryuji was momentarily unreachable though Yoshihiro knew his tamer was aware of his surroundings even though the seventeen year old human gave no response otherwise.
It seemed Yoshihiro had to handle things for the moment. Turning to the girl who asked about the dress code, Yoshihiro answered "Seems the dress code is what everyone else is wearing." Glancing over at Ryuji he continued "Well everyone except my brother."
That seemed to get Ryuji to focus on more than his shoes as the tamer jerked his head up and turned to Yoshihiro. He then whispered "Since when are you my brother?"
Motioning for his tamer to move closer, Yoshihiro in turn whispered "Considering I'm disguised as a human I need some kind of cover. So I was thinking of posing as your older brother based on the fact that I look slightly older than you in this disguise."
Nodding, Ryuji whispered "I suppose that works. Maybe we should answer the master's questions." Looking at Ryuto, Out loud Ryuji said "Well I'm seventeen years old, I came here to learn a bit inner strength, and a hobby of mine is video games."
Yoshihiro kind of doubted Ryuji's comment about inner strength since his tamer seemed to have more strength than one would give the lean human credit for. Deciding to play along, the disguised Calumon looked at Ryuto as if trying to figure out what made the master tick, he said "As for me I'm twenty years old, I came here to get stronger, and what some would call a hobby is my training in the Mantis Style of martial arts."

The sweet boy simply looked away from Arissa as she asked her questions. The girl had dealt with that enough to know what that meant, however, as she decided to press the issue. So as the disguised Calumon answered her questions to the best of his ability, Arissa stood right in front of the sweet boy, crouching down so instead of looking at his shoes he would instead be looking into her big, blue eyes.
"Hello again sweet boy! You have looked away when I asked you a question!" She said with a mischievous smile. "Is it because you think that I am pretty? You are the welcome to say this if this is true! You are sweet boy, so I don't mind if you compliment me!"
At that point, Ryuto and Rosaria came into view and she couldn't help but marvel at the pair. There was a beautiful man and an even more beautiful woman! She would very much like to talk to these two!
Then the sweet boy and the man with the handsome scar began whispering to each other, and Arissa couldn't help but lean her face into the huddle. She didn't hear all the words, only something about being in disguise. "Hey, what is this about being the disguised people?" She asked nonchalantly. But then Ryuto began to go down the line and Ryuji and Yoshihiro spoke up. Then it was Arissa's turn, so she cheerfully put her hand up as she spoke.
"I am Arissa! I am seventeen-years-old, like the sweet boy over here!" She patted Ryuji on the shoulder. "I came here because I was very bored, and my hobby would be... talking to people, I suppose? I enjoy very much having conversations! As for my question... can we do the talking parts in French or Greek? I am not fully understanding of this country's language yet!"

Ryuto knew he had a mix of people who are not at all the same in character, one boy shyly, another overconfident, and a young lady whose very playful, and the others who had more normal or serious types of personality traits, the boys did take their time answering. "I see normal for a person your age." But the other answer was a little unique. "I see you're my age, and also know martial arts? I do wonder why you're here to learn swordsmanship, I hope you don't think swords our giant mantis claws?" He said making a small joke.
Next the young girl who has more energy than anyone else. "I see, I'm sorry but I don't know that language." But Rosaria would speak looking towards Arissa smiling slightly. "Πολλοί Ιάπωνες δεν μπορούν να μιλήσουν Ελληνικά." Which means. Not many Japanese people can speak Greek.
Her husband to be would smile, Rosaria still had some hidden tricks. "Where did you learn that?" She would just look at him, that smile turning towards more of a serious expression. "Well giving you asked everyone else, I guess I should answer, I am Rosaria Alanis, and I'm also seventeen, and my hobby is studying about roses, living up to their image, and the reason I'm here is because of you." She said blushing at that last part, but didn't add the fact that her father also made her come, not wishing to ruin the students good time. "I learned greek after studying Aphrodite." Rosaria smiled again facing Arissa. "Εάν δεν καταλαβαίνετε τίποτα παρακαλώ ζητήστε μου να σας εξηγήσω." Which meant. If you don't understand anything please ask me to explain.
Ryuto would get back to the main point at hand, first asking everyone to follow inside, as they walked past one extravagant temple after the next, until finally entering one, once inside it was a dojo with many wooden swords inside a barrel. "Now before everyone grabs a sword, can you tell me what it's called? A wooden sword, that is used to train?" He asked, and if someone knew would tell them good job allowing each student to gain one. "Now when holding one for the first time, it's best to test its weight first, and then grab it with both hands, making sure all five fingers are held tightly arounds it handle." Showing them with his own. He would wait to see if anyone here understood the basics.

Ryuto statement about a sword being mantis claws amused Yoshihiro as it was apparent on the disguised Calumon's face. He then said "Of course I don't think a sword is a mantis' claw. That's a silly and foolish assumption. Every weapon is different and I thought learning how to wield a sword wouldn't be so bad." These humans didn't need to know he was a digimon or that he armor digivolved into a sword wielding samurai with a clumsy approach to sword fighting.
Meanwhile, Ryuji had nearly jumped out of his skin when the other girl named Arissa suddenly appeared in his line of vision. Despite the scare, he only stumbled back and answered the girl with a mumbled "D-disguise? I don't know what you're talking about." His focus was now back on his shoes as Yoshihiro guided his tamer to move with the group with a gentle hand on the shoulder.
When asked about what the wooden sword was called Ryuji looked at Yoshihiro in question and received a response indicating the Calumon was just as clueless in this matter as he was.

Arissa's lips curled up into a smile as Rosaria began speaking a language she understood. She was very interested in this young woman indeed. And she was very beautiful, which was a definite plus. If it wasn't revealed that she wasn't already engaged with the instructor she would definitely get much closer to her, but as it were now, doing so now would make things much more complicated. But then Arissa realized something.
"I understand what is going on now!" Arissa just blurted out right after Ryuto finished speaking. "You are trying to impress your fiance, no? Well, you are doing good job and I am learning many new thing!" Then a second thought came her mind. "Unless you are just trying to show off your gorgeous future wife to impress new students! In that case that is happening, you are shame!"
She wanted the chance to talk with Rosaria a bit - She was curious on just how much she studied Aphrodite - but teasing the sweet boy came first.
"I am not offended, but it is rude to not to look at someone when talking, no?" Arissa couldn't help but get close to the boy as his friend guided him. "I have an idea, have conversation with me, and I won't bring up this whole disguise thing any longer!"
As he brought out the shinai, she pulled out the heaviest one she could find without permission. It felt clumsy in the girl's hands, but she swung it front of her with reckless abandon. "I know what these are called!" She called out loudly. "These are called 'sticks', are they not?"

Rosria would just smile. "I know and I'm glad it's the sword." Ryuto said to the boy who already learned martial arts, smiling. Since birth Rosaria had to learn many things, living up towards her name, so with languages she needed to understood one that isn't Japanese, so it's easy to see it's Greek, using weapons Archery, even knowing martial arts being Aiki. This girl could see it, but so could everyone else, but the fact that this young lady had guts to call Ryuto on it was something else. "Can't it be both? I wish to show off in front of her, and also wish to show off my future wife?" He said there was no doubt in his voice, or shame, or false words.
Ryuto could notice that the boy is shy off that girl, is it only her? Or any? Well, he would have to remove that shyness if he becomes a full time student here. Rosaria would smile calmly being glad that the girl could understand, blushing as well giving this girl's comments were just so blunt.
Giving nobody said the white hair young man spoke up. "Incorrect, they are called Bokken, now if you were full time students I'll ask 100 swings, but giving you're all new please try swing it 50 times today, the form doesn't matter right now, I just wish to see if you are not lazy." All would do this, some got tired around the 30th, some got tired around 40th, and the other did it all without any worry, but rare very when for full 100. "Once you have done this I will show you another form of training, that's done here, but I will ask all of you to get changed. We will meditate under a waterfall, to focus, but you need to show me you can at least do this much."

Ryuji walked over to the wooden swords and lifted two of them up and came back to Yoshihiro handing his partner a sword. Half expecting the disguised Calumon to topple over, Ryuji was pleasantly surprised when that didn't happen. Apparently there was something to these holosuits other than hiding their appearance as digimon.
Stepping a little away from each other so Yoshihiro wouldn't accidentally bash Ryuji's head in, the disguised digimon began swinging the Bokken and Ryuji began shortly after. Yoshihiro's swings were smooth and fluid, possibly having something to do with his few armor evolutions to SamuraiCalumon, while Ryuji swung it clumsily. No one could blame the human boy, he had no training in any martial art whatsoever.
After roughly fifty three strikes, not surprising to Yoshihiro since he knew his tamer was fit despite being scrawny, Ryuji lowered the Bokken to catch his breath. He had no idea how Yoshihiro did this with a real sword all while fighting a digimon at the same time. Meanwhile, Yoshihiro had begun quietly counting the swings but only those near him could hear the disguised digimon. "Ninety eight, ninety nine, one hundred..." Yoshihiro muttered. It seemed the little digimon wasn't showing off but just a bit excited. Fortunately the Calumon stopped swinging the Bokken after one hundred fifteen strikes so he wouldn't come off as suspicious.
"Easy there, tough guy. No reason to get so excited." Ryuji said with a smirk causing Yoshihiro to chuckle.

Arissa didn't like the fact that Ryuji straight-up ignored when she spoke to his. It was one thing to shyly look away, but to outright ignore him! Well, that would not do at all! She would make sure that Ryuji would pay attention to her! But first, there was the practice thingy that she had to do.
"It is good that you are being honest with your feelings and intent, but I think it is not good thing that you are using your lover as a trophy! I am not thinking that Rosaria has to be reminded that she is pretty, so she is getting very little out of this!" Arissa commented towards Ryuto, making wild swings that were no doubt going to quickly exhaust her. Hell, she wasn't even counting her swings, nor did she remember how many swings she was supposed to take in the first place. Discipline wasn't exactly the free-spirited girl's strong-suit. "Besides, if you really wanted to show her off you just take pictures with her and post them all over the internet! That way you could show her off to the world! It is much more... being efficient, I am told!"
Her arms were already beginning to ache. Physical exertion wasn't her strong suit. But... she thought she could speed things up a little, plus get Ryuji's attention. So she simply spun around in circles, the sleeves of her furisode encircling her as she twirled around rather gracefully. Swinging it around like that had to count for like, five or six swings, right?
"Oh my, I am all dizzy now from swinging like that!" She announced a little loudly. She unceremoniously dropped her wooden sword as she pretended to lose her balance, staggering towards Ryuji and falling into his arms. Then Ryuto made his comment that they would be under a waterfall soon, so she raised her hand while still leaning into Ryuji. "Excuse me, but I was not being told to bring anything other than the kimono! I do not have anything to change into, so I am allowed to be naked like in hot springs, no?"

Ryuto, didn't expect much from anyone here giving it's the first time using any type of weapon, even fighting with fists in martial arts wasn't like using a sword. Rosaria let out a small laugh this girl did have her way with words. "Well, she does make a cute trophy don't you think? And it's many things my soon to be wife can get out of it." But as seeing Arissa it wasn't shocking her performance was lacking only because her mind is elsewhere, he let out a smile but crossing both arms together showing he wasn't pleased. "Maybe, but that's pointless showing your lover to people that don't matter, also shouldn't you focus on your swordplay?" He asked with a teacher like tone.
It didn't count for anything -1 at that, the way she just swings her sword. As the girl was fooling towards Ryuji, Ryuto just watch blankly did this girl come to learn swordplay or flirting? "We will provide you with them, so no don't do that." He would say sighing. "Okay boys this way to get change, girls the one next to it." Rosaria didn't comment about anything giving she already knows the way he acts, It wouldn't be many girls only two at that, being Arissa and Rosaria. going into their room to get changed.
They would be getting change free to talk with each other. Rosaria would already be getting changed ready to unwrap her kimono, same with Ryutoin his room, if nobody wished to talk and just get changed in their new full white kimono's they could do so and exit and wait outside as friends talked, and others that wish to talk with Ryuto in the male room , and Rosaria in the female changing rooms.

At the word trophy both Ryuji and Yoshihiro had a distasteful look on their faces though neither of them were aware of each others reactions. However they didn't have long to dwell on those words as Arissa had fallen toward Ryuji causing the teen two drop the wooden sword and catch her on reflex. The result for Ryuji was what Yoshihiro expected as said human began to sputter and look away with his face doing a pretty convincing imitation of a tomato. Yoshihiro snickered at his tamers plight but the moment Arissa mentioned being naked, Ryuji let go of her with a squeak. Fortunately she didn't hit the ground as Yoshihiro caught her and pulled her upright and said "You should watch what you say. The poor thing is shy around all pretty girls about his age."
As Ryuji was getting changed Yoshihiro asked "Hey, Ryuji, how am I supposed to change into this thing? The clothes I wear are part of the holosuit disguise. Wouldn't the disguise be disrupted if I did such a thing?"
"I don't know, Yoshihiro. Your outfit looks like you could put that kimono on over it without risking disrupting your holosuit. The kimono in your disguise doesn't look very thick." Ryuji said as he had just finished putting the white kimono on. Following his tamer's advice, Yoshihiro put the white kimono on as well. Then the two of them joined the others.

"I am thinking that the calling people 'trophies' is not a good thing when there are the people standing a few feet from you!" Arissa commented. "I am not in thinking that Rosaria is beautiful for being prize for someone with this kind of thinking!" It took her a second to think of a proper analogy. "When you are winning the trophy, you are proud of yourself for getting the trophy, no? But I am thinking you should be more grateful that someone is willing to marry you!"
Ryuji managed to catch her and she smiled sweetly at him. "Oh, you are not completely ignoring me after all! This is very good, because I am trying really hard to be your friend! It is hard to be friends if you are being the ignoring of me!" She was outright dropped when Arissa spoke up about nudity, but thankfully Ryuji's friend managed to catch her. "And you are a very nice person with good reflexes!" She commented towards Yoshihiro.
Yoshihiro helped Arissa stand upright and she patted Ryuji on the shoulder. "I am understanding that you are shy around pretty girls that you like, but I am thinking that this is not healthy, no? So you should spend more time around pretty girls!" She placed her hand gently on his chest and gave him a wink. "Then you can get used to pretty girls, and then pretty girls can get used to you!"
Ryuto separated the boys from the... two girls and told them to get changed into different kimonos. So there were different types of kimonos after all! Arissa was beginning to suspect something wrong since no one else was wearing anything similar to hers! "Okay, I am going to get naked and change into different clothes now!" She commented to no one in particular. She made her way into the girl's changing room, alone with Rosaria.
Arissa didn't take any time at all to undo her furisode. Honestly speaking, it was kind of hard to breathe in the damn thing. And the Japanese wore this kind of clothing all the time back in the day? Well, she supposed it wasn't much different from the uncomfortable gowns and dresses the European nobles put on in the olden days, either. Still, she took some time in between changing outfits to take a breath, she undressed, turning to Rosaria before looking around for a proper kimono. She didn't really know anything about sizes, so she hoped anything would do. After she threw one over herself she just had a question to ask.
"You are having parents arrange this marriage, no?" Arissa asked her while it was just the two of them. "That is making sense now! I do not think Ryuto it fully in your league! Your are beautiful and smart, while your fiance seems to think too highly of himself! Even though he is beautiful, it is something that is making him a little uglier, but this is just being my opinion!" She had gotten her kimono on by the time she had finished talking.
This one was much more comfortable than the one she had been wearing previously. And a little drafty, too. She thought it was a shame that it would be getting wet. A mischievous smile went across her lips at the thought of everyone's kimonos becoming transparent after getting soaked in the waterfall, but she kept such thoughts to herself.
