LA6 Party: Kite Flying II (Training grounds)

[Shiba Haru]

"Well I would have had a much larger room at home for one. You are pretty though Jiro, you're the pretty one I'm the handsome one. Would you agree with that Sakura-san?"

[Asahina Sakura]

"I- uh..." she looked confused and her eyes ticked quickly to each twins face.
"That's an impossible question?"

[Shiba Jiro]

"Because it's impossible not to hurt Haru's feelings, I understand," he said in playful sympathy.

[Shiba Haru]

"No it's because we are both so homely looking and she doesn't want to insult us." he said playfully sad.

[Asahina Sakura]

The twins were both so playfully but still Sakura stumbled over her words, "No i uh no see I didn't... i wasn't... you're both fantastic? I'm sorry?"

[Shiba Haru]

"Oh don't mind us Sakura-san we are only playing." he said in a soft, warm tone.

"I mean, clearly I am the more handsome brother, but we are only teasing you."

[Shiba Jiro]

"Speak for yourself Jiro. I'm trying to cause problems because its what I do," he says, in a false admission on Haru's behalf, smiling deviously.

[Asahina Sakura]

Sakura felt as though the twins were having a lot of fun at her expense, and didn't understand. "Oh. Oh I see..."

[Shiba Jiro]

Taking advantage of an opening created by the conversation, he finally brings Haru's kite down.

[Shiba Haru]

"You goblin-blooded cur." Haru dropped his string in defeat then turned to face Sakura.

"What a wonderful event, thank you for hosting it and thank you for putting up with our shenanigans." He said bowing.

[Asahina Sakura]

One of the kite-runners shrieks with delight and takes off to go collect their prize.

Sakura bows to the twins, first Haru- and then Jiro, as the winner of their skirmish. "Thank you both for participating?" she gave small but friendly smiles to each.

[Shiba Haru]

"So does this mean Jiro gets to face you now for the title of Kite Master?" He asked the Asahina. "You would be doing me a great favor if you put him in his place."

[Shiba Jiro]

Jiro returned the offered bow. "I would be glad to face off against Asahina-san, even if only just for fun." Since usually hosts didn't compete in the event they are hosting.

"And yes, do not mind us. We pick on each other all the time, with no concern for who is around," he says, giving her a friendly smile.

[Asahina Sakura]

"I mean, I guess, we could? If you'd like? Only if it's truly friendly, though, I can't actually, um, compete, that wouldn't be right. But, for the fun of it..."
Sakura wasn't quite able to stop the youthful grin from growing as her gaze ticked from the twins' faces to the table of kites she'd coordinated, looking for the one that spoke to her.

Her chaperone let out a whoop and began screaming how Jiro would wish he'd never been born...

[Shiba Jiro]

"Then please join me in the sky Asahina-san," he says with a smirk.

[Asahina Sakura]

She chooses her kite for the friendly fight and lets it loose, but it isn't long before it's cut free and another excited runner takes off to claim it.

Sakura bows to each of the twins and motions for them to return to the large table with her.

To Haru, she presents a small box with two monaka inside. "For your participation," she offers it to him with a bow.

To Jiro, she presents a larger box containing four monaka. "Congratulations on your win." She bows to him as well.

[Shiba Jiro]

"Thank you for hosting such a lovely event Asahina Sakura-san. It is greatly appreciated," he replied with a bow, accepting the prize.

[Shiba Haru]

Haru bowed accepting the prize.

"Yes, thank you so very much Sakura-san, this was a great deal of fun and it was good to see you again." He said with a warm smile.

[Asahina Sakura]

"My pleasure, brothers Shiba; and um, thank you for attending this celebration for Kisshoten-no-Kami?"

[Shiba Jiro]

"It is a wonderful festival. Got to spend time with my betrothed and my brother, attempting to please Kisshoten-no-kami."
