As Masako leaves the shrine, lazily walking along the walkway, she is suddenly surprised by a voice, “Well hello little Maiko, what brings you here and alone?”
There is no mistaking a Maiko, even though she wears a plain Yukata and obi, the bouffant hair do of the Maiko is a dead give away.
So turning, she sees her father.
“Oh my god,” Masako thinks, fear racing through her mind. Bowing respectfully, she submissively says, “Honorable father,” Forcing herself to sound sincere, “How very nice it is to see you.”
As he motions to a bench, “Come my child, set; there is much we must speak of.”
As they set he leans close and kisses her cheek, then says, “I received you call for assistance and have taken care of it. Masako at the same time I will not tolerate my daughters thinking themselves above others, I will not allow them, you, to be taken unfair advantage of either.
“You do know of you all, my precious little girl for you I have the greatest plans. You are so lovely, tempting, and tantalizing, men seem to see this and want to have you with them.
“Know this, no one will secure you as his geisha unless he has gone through me.
“It is for you to keep them pleased with you, by being submissive to their will, with out dishonoring yourself, your family, your house, or Gion. Play the game Masako, that you were taught to give all of yourself, but only at arms reach.
“OH, and Masako get along with Sakuraki, she has told me you act somewhat distant toward her, I chose her for your oneesan because of her personality and ability to train you. Sakuraki will assist you, along with that which your mother taught you, in becoming the desirably tempting young woman I want you to be.
“I know you will follow my orders perfectly and make us, your mother and myself proud of you.”
With no more than that, he gets up and walks away. Then realizing she must know, she calls, “Father, a question, please.”
But he continues walking away, seemingly not hearing her. So actually nothing has been resolved. Masako would feel better if only Teruko had heard any of this, so she would better understand how helpless Masako truly is or offer a way around this seemingly impossibly situation.
Darn-darn, and double darn!!!!
