The Chihara Estate is a traditional Japanese-style house with a small pond in the back yard. There is an outdoor walkway connecting the outside rooms. As you enter the front door, you see the lobby. To the left is the dining room, and connected to that is the kitchen. To the right of the lobby is the living room. Upstairs from the lobby are the bedrooms. The closest on the left is a vacant room. On the right is another vacant room. A little ahead to the left is the designated guest room, currently occupied by Otaku and. The room at the end of the hallway is the master bedroom, where Akira and Oralaine sleep. On the end of their room is the door to a balcony. On the balcony right next to the door is a ladder to the roof.
In the fire caused by Ryukinzo's older brother, Akira's parents, Kyou and Mizuki, as well as his youger brother, Ryuuichi, all died. Their graves are located in the back yard in the back left corner. A shrine dedicated to their memory has been built in the living room of the newly built home.
With the help of Akira, Oralaine has built a garden on the right side of the house. A fence surrounds the garden. In the part furthest from the house, small trees have been planted. Next to those, various medicinal herbs are planted for Oralaine's medical-nin needs. Closest to the house are three different kinds of flowers, planted and grown in the memory of Akira's late family.

*Enters the house and removes his shoes in the lobby.* Minna, tadaima!
*Pokes head out out the kitchen.* Ah, Akira! Okaeri!
*Ryuuichi runs down the stairs and runs a circle around Akira.* Okaeri, niisan!
Hehe. Hello mother, Ryuuichi. Where's father?
Oh, he's out getting something for dinner that we were out of. He'll be back soon.

Oh. Okay then. *Sits on the floor of the dining room, rubbing some blood off of a scratch on his cheek.*
Ah! Niisan's bleeding, mama!
N-no, it's really no big dea--
Bleeding?! Oh my, we can't have that! *Turns the stove off and fetches some bandages, then returns and starts patching up Akira's scratches.*
Mother...It's really no big deal. I did just return from a mission, after all.

*Finishes patching up the wounds.* Ah, yes. The mission. Tell us. How did it go?
Yeah! Tell us, tell us!
Hehe. *Gives a thumbs up.*
Yay! *Jumps in the air.* Niisan's the best!
*Smiles.* Just as I expected from you. I'm going to cook you a big feast tonight to celebrate.
Thank you, mother. That would be great.

Thanks for your support, everyone. I have some time before dinner. I think I'll go greet some of my companions and let them know I'm back.
Alright, Akira, but don't be late.
I won't. Ittekimasu. *Leaves the house and heads in the direction of the forest.*

*Enters the house and removes his shoes.* Tadaima.
Ah, Akira. Just in time. We were just sitting down for dinner. Please have a seat.
I'm glad I'm not late. *Sits and breaks his chopsticks.* Wow! You weren't kidding. This is a feast.

*Takes a bite.* I reported my mission outcome to Ryu-sama.
Oh really? *Smiles* How did it go?
He was pleased to hear of the mission's success. And then he...made me a jounin. The village's first!
*Drops her chopsticks* A jounin?! That's wonderful!
Heh. Very good job, son.
Hooray niisan!

Thanks guys. I still find it rather shocking. I can't believe I'm a jounin. *Eats some more.*
Yeah, awesome! *Eats some ramen.*
I'm proud of you Akira.
Thanks, father.

*Enters the house carrying Ora, removing his and her shoes, then carries her up the stairs to the guest room. He lays her down on the futon and pulls the covers over her. He gazes at her sleeping face for a few moments, then leans down and kisses her cheek.* Oyasumi, Ora. *Smiles and goes to his room.*
