Thread: Tea House [Rave and Hahvy]

The sound of bustling cars and loud horses panicking through the street was not exactly the best wake up call a man could have, such was the effect of a booming siren that echoed through the air of Japan. It was a common happening nowadays, since the country was a mere week or two from all out war with the allies. The thought shook Sanada Echizen from his bed and rose him to his feet, knowing that he would be among the first to head out as part of a support battalion. It's not like he had a choice in the matter, he was built like a tank and more so would not dare disgrace his family name by not signing up for the war. He had no defect, nor illness that was cause him to be turned down and so he was a prime candidate for the war. Enlisted under the most hopefuls. A sigh escaped his throat as he walked down his apartment to his bathroom, turning the knob so the water came rushing through. He dipped his hands forward and splashed the cold water on his face, raising his head to look at himself in the mirror. His new hair, cut short as per the army's regulations suited him more than he expected. It was a pleasant thought in the midst of the nervousness and the preparation. More than anyone else, Sanada made sure to settle his business and loosen all his ties with those closest to him. He knew the effects of war and how many died, so truly he felt the need to separate himself from those he loved before shipping out. It was his own way of dealing with the fear, the last thing he needed was someone that he deeply cares for to be around so he can worry both himself and his object of affection. No, his mind needed to be much clearer. His thoughts were interrupted by loud knocks on his door, and the sound of laughter coming from behind it. Oi, Sanada. Brother it's already three in the afternoon and the boys are waiting in the car. Are you dead? What's wrong with you? The all too familiar voice was Sanada's childhood friend. They grew up together and enlisted together, yet Sanada was the more serious of the two. I swear Fuji, do you take nothing seriously? Sanada yelled as he slipped on his uniform and opened the door, shoving Fuji away from the entrance playfully. We're about to go to war and you look like you're celebrating your birthday. He snorted, walking outside with Fuji following behind. You need to loosen up man. He heard from behind him as Fuji made his way out, before his attention was drawn forward to an army jeep with his uniformed friends crowding in. Its about time Echizen-saaaan Said the driver teasingly as the rest laughed, and Fuji jumped into the car along with Sanada. Just like that, the driver hit the gas and they were off. So, where are we going anyway. All I've heard is to be patient and just wait, you know I despise surprises. Fuji rolled his eyes and put his arm playfully around Sanada, flashing a grin. Brother, it'll be the best day of your soon to be over life so far. Just like that, Sanada found the Jeep coming to a stop in front a tea house and a smirk couldn't help but fall upon his lips. Before he could even say anything, he found the rest of the car had already jumped out and headed towards the place. From the one screaming sake and the others laughing about getting fucked, they were all already in and he found himself following. Well, if he was going to war he might as well get -all- he needs to do out of his system, including his more...primal needs. As the hostess greeted them, they made their way to their seats with Sanada finally loosing up his tension as the first round of sake was ordered.
